PROPHECIES THAT HAVE
BEEN FULFILLED.
New York Press

The Press republishes to-day sew
eral extracts from its editorial col
umns in regard to the effect of the
election OF Grover Cleveland and
u Democratic Congress on the bust
ness and the industries of this
country. Some of these predic-
tions were made during the last
Presidential campaign; some of
them were made just after the cleo
ton; every one of them has heen
fulfilled In tie first four months
of the Cleveland Administration.
The Press warned tho American
people that Democratic victory
meant industrial paralysis and
business disaster. 1t declared that
the rule of the party of free trade
and dishonest dollars would make
the contraction of enterprise and
the stoppage of factory wheels in
evitable. 1t pointed out that the
business and the industries of the
nation had been founded on the
cornerstone of protection, and that
the prospect of the removal of this
foundation would change conf
dence into distrust and panic. 1t
called the attention of workingmen
with special emphasis to the fact
that the Democratic programme of
destruction must lesson work and
lower wages.
The Press made these statements
deliberately and with full realiza-
ton of their importance. They
were not put forth for sensational
effect. They were uttered because
The Press duty to its readers made
their utterance imperative. This
newspaper did all in its power to
prevent the election of Grover Cleve-
land. When Mr.. Cleveland was
elected The Press would have been
false to its trust and recreant to the
principles for which it had contend
ed if it bad failed to indicate clear
ly the baneful results which follow
the restoration of the incapable and
disloyal Democracy to power.
The penalty to democratic sue
cess has been exacted with startling
suddenness. Not single Democrat
ic measure has yet been placed on
the statute books. But the business
interests of the nation have taken
alarm. The selfish and incapable
politicians in control at Washington
have permitted the national curren-
cy to be discredited and have in
creased apprehension and disaster.
The nation has been robbed Of more
than a billion dallars by Democrat
&c rule. American factories are clos
ing or reducing their forces, Amer
lean workingmen are being turned
into the street, and American mer-
chants are unable to command cred
it because Grover Cleveland instead
of Benjamin Harrison was elected
last November.

The last issue of the Wayne

Hard Time" IN which the writer
endeavors to mske the people be-
lieve the times are no harder than
usual. OF all the articles that
have recently appeared in any pa
per this is the most flimsy and one
which Inisrepresents the facts in
the most glaring manner. OF
course the intention of the article
is 10 try to establish confidence in
the administration, but it won't
work. All classes of business in
every section of the country feel
the stringency of the times. All
know that even Wayne county has
not experienced such hard times
Especially those in business)
since the Democratic free trade
times of many years ago. The
farmer, who raises enough to keep
his family, does not feel the string
ency so much as the one who has
to pay out the cash for something
to eat. Wayne county has been
our home for eleven years and
during those years We have never
known times so hard. We have
several hundred dollars due US on
subscription and actually we can
not collect enough to pay for the
paper on which the ADVANCE is
printed. 1t is the same with every
one who does any business, and it
is scarcely worth while for one to
attempt to collect, now. The per-
son who provides something for
himself and family to eat and
wear and keeps out of debt these
tunes is doing exceedingly we'll.

Life OF the OId.Tims Raftsm en-.

The rsftsmen who used to come down
the Delaware to Trenton were hardy
backwoodsmen, Injured to toll and hard
ship all their lives, and their trips down
the river were almost like holiday
Journeys, even though they were frau5h
with a degree of danger, and many a
poor fellow found a watery grave in
some unforeseen emergency, in shooting
falls or being wrecked on hidden
rocks. The were usually a care-iree,
merry company, generally fond oil
good cheer, aud seated around the
roaring fire of the tavern, they compared
notes aud recouuted their achieve nents
aaoat ard ashore, telling OF adventure
and escape from danger in many ex-
posures. In the early days, before toe
railroads were built, they would walk
back to their homes, even so far as the
foothills OF the CAtsIlll MOUNTAINS, Iue
journey oftentime' involving weeks
travel. Their journeys to tidewater
cities, Trenton, Burlington and Phila-
delphia, were epoch' in their lives to b.
rehearsed to their children and their less
fortunate neighbors during the loa5
winter evenings.
But their occupation is gore. The
immense forests of hemlock and Pine
which covere the hills adjacent to the
river a half century ago have been felle1,
and the labor and expense Of trans
porting either logs or toe Manufactured
product to the river from the more re-
mote lumber regions are too great TO-
the effort to be considered proataole.-

The Cowboys Marvellous Memory.

"Of all men in tne world not account
ed prodigies l think the cowboys men,
ory aud intuition are the most marvel
ous," said E. H. Cunningham, Of In.
dian Territory, at the L1clede. 81
have witnessed feals of memory per.
formed by cowboys that appear
preposterous when related. For instance,
I was on drive from the Texas Pam
handle to the Territory few wesks ago
with 1000 cattle. Twelve men com.
prised my outfit. We had couple OF
big stampsdes, and after we got the
frightened cattle rounded up, how do
you suppose we were able to tell how
many were missingl You naturally
think we went through the laborious
task of cutting out aad counting them,
and that's where you are mistaken.
Every one Of my twelve men was 50
thoroughly acquainted with the herd
that either OF them could by getting on
an elevation so as to get clear sweep Of
the entire herd tell exactly how many aud
the kind OF stock we had missed in the
round up. Not only that, but he could
pick out all the stray cattle that had gos
mixed iu our bunch without seeing tle
brand. 1t is marvellous acconpllshs
ment, and one that is attained only after
long service in the '5ull punching busl'
ness. ."-St. Louis Globe. Democrat.

Work In Hiqh Attitudes.

Some practical facts are furnished by
the experience Of the workmen engaged
in the construction of the new Central
Railway over the main range of noun
tains in Peru. The line starts from Lima,
in latitude twelve degrees. The sum-
NIT tunnel OF this line, at Galeria, is at
the height of Is, 645 feet, or little un'
der the height of Mont Blanc, but it
must be remembered that the climati C
conditions are very different aud more
unfavorable in Peru than in Europe. Mr..
E. Lane, the engineer-in-chief, finds
that the workmen, up to an altitude OF
5000 to 10, 900 feet, do about the SAM
relative quantity Of work as at the SEA
level, provided they have been Injured to
the height or brought up in the country.
At IL, 900 feet, the amount Of work de-
terlorates, and at IA, 900 to 16, 0O0 full
third has to be deducted from the
amount that the same men could per-
form at sea level.
Owing to the absence of malaria, the
percentage of efficient labor a. the
greatest elevation is a very higA one.
Men coming from the coast are not found
capable OF doing efficient work for about
two weeks, on an average, when taken
to high elevations. The capacity grad
ually Increases aud reaches its maximum
in few weeks or months, according to
the constitution of the individull. The
majority Of the labOrers are "Cholos,
or Indians born IN the Sierra. They are
found to be incapable of doing efficient
work on the coasts or in the wainer alti-
tudes without loag course Of accliml-
tization. II gangs of these "Cholos"
have for special purposes been taken
suddenly down from the Sierra to WORK
at attitudes of from 1000 to 5000 feet,
sickness aud fever have resulted from
the change.
Mules and horses are found to do
about the same efficient work proper
tionately as human beings up to about
II, 900 feet in this district. Mules stau1
the climate best, but, again, require
some weeks for acclimatiz .tioa, and it
urged 10 undue exertion at great alti-
tudes they are liable to drop dead sud
denly. 1t may be remarked the region
of perpetual snow in the district begins
at Is. 900 Ofeet.-Nineteenth Century.

A Hawaiian Legend.

You are hearin5 a great deal nov OF
the troubles in Hawaii. Perhaps you
would like to know somsthlng about the
peoplel They are very fanciful in ma
ture and superstitiols. Their islands
abound with legends. Here is one;
Once upon time, there lived in Hawaii
a lad named Niheu, who had for a
mother, Hiua, the most beautiful woman
in the world. One day, Kaupeepee, the
head of hostile tribe, captured Hun
and took her away to Haupu, his home.
For fifteen years Hakalauileo, the hus'
band of Hiua, searched for her, aud
when he died, the lad Niheu took up the
search. At length he found his mother,
destroyed the city where she was held
captive aud took her home in triumph.
he killed Kaupeepee. With his own
hand he slew fifteen hundred men.-

indian sslf.xurdsr and ssIf.suIcIde.

"Cases of suicide, especially by hang
ing, are rare among the Indians, " said
Major A. V. Leiben, of Pierre, South
Dakota, to the Star representative at the
Oxford. "The only instance that 1
know OF where an Indian maiden com.
mitted suicide occurs to me. Indian
girls, like other maidens, fall in love,
and it is not always requitted. In this
case she was Tilted by Sioux brave, aud
she thereupon hanged herself. Indians
believe that il they die by hanging they
will not enter the happy hunting
grounds, which makes this case tie more
remarkable. Her lover married another
squaw and the dramatic taking off Of his
first fame did not apparently cause him
much remorse. Indians torture them
selves to show their grief, and the
mother of this maiden hacked her body
and limbs with a knife in great gasheS
until every step she took was marked
with blood.
"Speaking about self-torture inflicted
by Indians reminds me Of the horrible
sight one witnesses when a brave wishes
to demonstrate his fitness to go upon the
warpath aud become full-ae iged war
rior. Before this honor can be obtained
an Indian brave must prove his WORTH
ness. This is how they do it: They
cut two deep parallel gashes in the
muscles of the chest. A thong Of raw
hide is inserted in the flesh and tied in
loop. This is then fastened to bent
sapling sufficiently strong and elastic to
raise the Indian off his feet. Here he
will hang suspended by the thong several
feet above the ground, writhing and
twisting in his agony, until the thong
tears itself out of the bleeding flesh aud
he falls to the ground, sometimes in'
sensible from pain. Frequently the
struggles of the tortured man are not
sufficient to tear asunder the qulverlng
flesh, and he hangs there until he be-
Gomez inseasible aud Is cut down.
squaws and braves are seated around
him in a circle, wsiling and bowling aud
beating drums. This terrible ordeal
once passed signifies that the brave has
the necessary courage to be entitled to
promotion as a warrior. To see one or
more, and sometimes there are halt
dozen, Indians hanging suspended by
thongs through their flesh without
manifesting their suffering by cries OF
pain, surrounded By the members OF
their tribe, is a sight that indelibly I'M
presses itself upon one'. memory."-

The Mic, Plauu3 of ThsssaIia.

A paragraph has been going the rounds
of the papers concerning the measures
adopted by Professor Loefier in attack
ing the mice plague in Thessalia, Greece.
From further accounts it appears that the
process IS a remarkably simple one and
can be safely followed by any person OF
average intelligence, especially as the
mixture is quite harmless to human be-
inqs and domestic animals-such as dogs,
cats, fowls, etc. A pint OF water, tc
which a tablespoonful of salt has been
added, is boiled aud allowed to cool.
One third OF a tube of myoktanine is then
mixed with two thirds of this liquid,
we'll shaken, pou ed into a pan, and
thoroughly stirred. White bread is cut
into small slices aud after being thor
oughly impregnated with the mixture
is ready to be laid about the runs and
holes OF the mice and rats. 1t is said
that in less than week the largest c'l'
ony OF these pests can in this way bs
absolutely destroyed. A more direct,
if less subtle exterminator, for the Aus'
tralian rabbit has been devised in the
shape Of a slowly burning clrtrld8s
which produces a poisonol' gas. Tls
cartridge is placed in the burrows, tbs
anertures are closed and in a very fe4
minute, the rabbits are deitroye by the
power Of the poison in the smoke
