DEMOCRATIC PLEDGES.
Ominous Outlook for American Tn-
dustrIes.

Ominous Outlook for American In-
dustrIes.
Mr.. Cleveland and the democratic
party are distinctly pledged to two
things. In the recent campaign they
insisted that the common people were
not receiving their just share of the
general prosperity, that the tendency
of the protective system was to enrich
the few at the expense of the many,
and they promised that If given power
such policy weuld be instituted as
would enable every man to earn more
than he has earned hitherto and give
to- the money thus earned greater
purchasing u power in obtaining the
necessaries and comforts of life. This
pledge was deliberately made, and the
country WilE require it to be kept. The
party must not only maintain wages at
their present standard, but it must
make. every citizen realize that he is
more prosperous than he. was under
republican rule.
We Shall be glad if these results can
be achieved We had believed that
during republican ascendency the coun-
| try was reasonably well to do, and that
! the great bodyof our workingmen were
enjoying a measure of comfort never
attained under the democratic policy.
But if that party, by its legislation,
can bring about a better. condition Of
J., affairs, every right-thinking citizen
will welcome the result with real sat
isfaction. There is nothing, however.
to justify belief that the party viii
keep its: pledges On thee contrary,
there is every reason to believe that its
| process Of tariff -tinkering win result
disastrously to our great industrial in
..terests, and 7preeipitate precisely the
same eyils, financial and otherwise,
| which have uniformly attended its
previous interference with protective
legislation. Already there are. evil
dences Of uncertainty and unrest in
our great manufacturing centers.

guess work-the figures are compiled
from the reports of bank officials and
cannot be centroyerted.
In the face of such facts it is more
than absurd, it is crime, to claim that
there is widespread poverty and hard

representation is an injury to the class
mentioned and to- the whole people.

as it is thought to be necessary to

signs of Returning Animation.
TOLEDO, O., Jan. 9.-There were un-
mistakable signs of life to-day in
Clay G. Hopper, the yonng man who
for eleven days had been supposed to
be dead. During the forenoon his
right hand twitched and one eye partly
opened. He was taken from the coffin,
in which he has been laying for ten
DAYS, and placed upon mattress.
Brandy was rubbed all over the body
and frequently applied to the lips.
The case is regarded as wonderful and
the physicians are mystified. Nearly
all the doctors who saw him did not
hesitate in pronouncing the boy dead
and he had been prepared for burial
and the funeral was about to take
place, when the parents determined to
keep the body a few days.

bearing bottle He handed them the
liquor persuading them to drink it
They all imbibeu, Wright and Gibson
with serious results, for Craig had
deceived them in calling whiskey, pop,

home hilarious. The mothers appeared
at the hearing early to meet out vengeance
on the evil James. They were called
upon to testify and they told what their
experiences had been with their boys
that eventful day Mrs. Gibson stated
how Hes bert had cIma home acting
very strangely aud how after being
given medicine and put to he'd he had
tossed, and pitched and muttered all
night. He ripped and tore and cursed
and sworc, and tried to break the window
lights of the house Mrs. Wright also
told her story of Georges affection, and
without the breaking windows clause
his case was identical with Herbert's.
When James was called to defend
himself he realized that he had "a high
wall to climb over and straightway said
that he didn't do it After "a while the
truth was drawn out word for word and
the Squire decided the evidence sufficient
to declare Craig guilty of the offence.
He was remanded to jail and the
sentence reserved.

An electrical storm accompanied by
heavy wind and severe fishes OF light
ing passed over Cecil county at half past
seven O'Clock on Thursday evening its
duration ia Elkton being half an hour.
The storm approached Eikton from the
north wes-, the heavy wind twisting
branches from the trees, slamming
shutters, binding pedestrians with dust
and blowing down the electric light
wires enveloping several buildings in
darkness. No serious damage was sus
tanned in Elktou The electric light
plant beyond several wires being down
and a few lights burned out was not
injured. The wind mill in the yard of
DR.. G. NJ. Ellis was broken bT the wind
aud a number of cross wires, with no
communication with any town except
North East are reported at the telephone
exchange. A pole near the iron bridge
is reported to have been struck, and a
bystander near Simon sliquor store states
that he noticed ball of fire roll down
the electric wire on street current pole
and fall into the street. The lights in
Simon's store then went out.
The storm as in Elkton is reported as
being general throughout the county
AS far as is now known the crops were
not injured as much as would be expec,
ted. The most damage is probably done
to the corn and apples. The fields of
oats were tiattened around Elkton but 1t
is thought that the sun will raise them.

Mr.. George w. Benson stands ready to

piteous pleadiDgs, and doubtless, because
of the affection he felt for her. Why he
left the other two children living is
mystery. After all was over Bomberger
compelled Annie to show him where her
father kept his money, and he secured
$50 and two watches. Some money that
was kept in another place, which she did
not know was in the house, escaped his
clutches. Then the wretch compelled
the girl, almost insane as she was
through terror and grief, to prepare him
some break fast, and, while waiting for
it, he drew out watch ana looked at it,
then coolly remarking: at ouly took
20 minutes to do the whole business.
After eating. he dragged the girl to the
stable, where she fully expected to be
murdered. He bound her hand and foot
10 post in the stable, and, after beating
her terribly with the enc of rope, he
rode away on the pony that poor little
Burnce intended using.
After he had gone the oldest surviving
boy, Aaron, crept to the stable and fin
ally succeeded in uutying the ropes that
bound his sister. Leaving the two chill
dren on the scene of the tragedy, Annie
FASTENED to Cando. Here she burst in
upon friend of the family, Samuel
Brightbill, merchant and a former
resident of Lancaster county, and to
whom she told her story. Without loss
of time he summoned 10 men to his
assistance, al mounted, and together
they repaired TO the Krieder homestead.
There party of men took the trail OF
the murderer. who was captured at
Delora Manitoba.
A company of militia is now guarding
the Jail, and an attempt to take the man
out and hang him is expected at any
time, and it is understood party is
coming from Cando with that object in
view.
