Nocturnal creatures are generally
supposed not to see we'll in the day-

dispelling the idea 1t is we'll known
that felines, which see well by night,
seem to be able to see quite as well by
day, and this is being found true of
many other creatures The bat sees ad-
mirably by day time, as one can ascertain
by threatening it with twig. The
owl also has frst-rate daysight. Night

have been driving iutruders from the
Cherokee strip, preparatory to the opening
Of that country to settlement, have about

they reluctantly moved off. No Que is

years ago.

THE Gazette came out on time yester-
day morning sparkling with wit and
good humor under circumstances which
might be supposed to invite solemnity
if not funereal gloom. But then some
papers as we'll as people would pass
jocularly through the valley of the
shadow of death. The Gazette, has now
reached the point of human happiness
to which Mark Tapley so long attained !;
there is some credit in it's being Jolly.
But after all the situation to the man
agement is diluted by pleasant refec-
ton which may be shared by the press of
the territory. An appreciation of the
pressis shown in the alacritv with which
able volunteers have filled the breach
made in the editorial ranks. This ex-
hibit1on of kindly regard for the paper
must be so comforting to the gentlemen
OF the Gazette as to almost put their
present tribulation in the light of a
blessing.

blessing.

EX-PREsIDENT Harrison expresses the
belief that all public men are in more
or less danger. For that matter so are
all private men, for there Is no telling
what crank will do at any time. But
there is one gentleman, who, Judging
by the luck he's had in the past, is abso-
lutely safe. We mean Grover Cleve-
land. Some crank may try to kill him,
but if he does no one will be hurt un-
less, perhaps, Secretary Carlisle may be
calling on him, or Mrs. Cleveland or
one of the babies may be near by. As
for Grover himself he is not in the
slightest danger. If we were president
of an accident insurance company we
should advise the directors to reduce
his rates so per cent.

VICTORY PROMISED IN OHIO.

Since the memorable Garfield cam
paign of 1880, when Grant, Conkling
and Sherman gave their time and inau-
ence to the cause of Republicanism,
nothing like the present Mckinley cam
paign has been seen in Ohio, and I'M
less all signs fail the Republicans next
Tuesday will win splendid victory.
The present campaign has been one
not of speaking alone, but of freside
discussion after the speech.
No state in the Union has suffered
more than Ohio by the rapid decline in
values that followed the advent OF the
new administration. In the manufac-
turing centers industries were paral-
yzed and employees found themselves
out of work or with reduced hours and
decreased pay. The farmers were badly
hurt. Wool declined from q to II
cents pound, and other products of
the soil went down in price to an alarm
ing extent. Business of the highest
standing could not pay their debts be-
cause they couldn't realize on securities
that had become practically valueless.
This was the situation when Gov.
Mckinley opened the campaign, Sep
TENDER II. During the seven weeks
that have elapsed since he made his
first speech, Gov. Mckinley has spoken
in every important place in every Sec
ton of the state. The great audiences
which have greeted him have been
composed of farmers, mill workers and
miners. The Republicans are united T.;
the Democrats divided, and 1t is conf
IDENTIFY expected that Gov. McKinley's
majority will far exceed that of two
years ago.
