IT has been many years since an

IT has been many years since an
Administration was in such i'll repute as
the present Cleveland regime. The over
whelming Republican majorities of the
elections were a severe and mighty
rebuke to President Cleveland and
Hokerino Smith; the President and
renegade Gresham are being mercilessly
scored by the public sentiment of the
entire nation because of their Hawaiian
policy; Harper's Weekly, until now a
Cleveland support through thick and
thin, has turned and declares that Cleye-
land is no longer better than his party
and that he will not long lead his party
or be of any power in it; added to this
are the violent protests that are going
up from every section where an industry
is threatened by the proposed removal
of the tariff whereby that industry was
created and was fostered and now lives
protests from all classes Of people indie
pendent OF party. And now the ClVll
Service Reform League, which supported
Cleveland last year, has passed a resolu-
tion which says: "The National Civil
Service Reform League expresses its
earnest remonstrance against the be-
stowal by the President of high Offices
of State in return for the contribution
of large campaign funds. 1t must re-
ga any appointment made on account
of such contributions as implying for
getfulness of the trust conferred upon
the Chief Executive as a violation of
the professions upon which the present
Administration came into power, and as
an example which, if followed, must
lead to the destruction of al free insti-
tutions." st. Grover must feel like
many another canonized member of the
calendar that the shifting sands upon
which his saintship is builded have been
discovered. But what pity the people
and the country did not find out Grover
and modern Democracy before the power
of government was placed in their
hands.

WHERE THE TARIFF QUESTION TOLD.
New York Press.
1t is impossible to misinterpret the
significance of the phenomenal gain in
the Republican vote in the manufactur-
ing districts in the interior of the State.
In Cayuga and Clinton counties, the
seats of Auburn and Dennemora State
prisons, and in counties like Saratoga,
Schenectady, Montgomery, Herkimer,
Oneida, Onondaga and Oswego, which
are traversed by the State canals, the
henchmen of the State machine, with
which all these counties are overrun,
made relentless fight for the Demo
cratic ticket All of these counties are
also the seats of scores of hushed indus
tries and the homes of thousands of idle
workingmen. In spite of the desperate
efforts of the State machine, these
counties rolled up astonishing pluralities
for the Republican ticket. Maynardism
and bossism may have dominated the
tariff question in some sections of the
State, bnt in such counties the supreme
issue with the mass of voters was bread
and work.

PUBLIC OPINION.
A ooxplrIoN-Nor A THEORY.

A CONDlTION-NOT A THEORY
Cincinnati Tribune.
Those Alabama coal and iron men who
are importuning the Ways and Means
Committee not to take the duty off the
''raw material" which they produce, have
at last realized that it is a condition and
not theory which confronts them.
Last year, when they were singing
paans to Cleveland and the Chicago
platform, free trade, which seemed but
far off nebulous theory appeared to be
a harmless fad, and they supported it
instinctively. because it was a Demo
cratic doctrine. Now, however, when
their whole investments are in jeopardy
they CRY aloud and rush to and fro, and
ask to be spared from the logical results
of their own folly.
They are little deserving of sympathy,
and were it not that Others innocent OF
the great wrong of 1892 are in the same
boat, we would feel like mocking at their
calamity. However, it is an object lesson
which we commend to the prayerful
stu dy of careless voters.
Our protective system is an automatic
policy, a self acting device, which is
able to do its own talking. Mckinley
might have talked tariff to those Birm-
mingham mill owners and operatives till
crack of doom without effect, but the
mere threat to interfere with the exist
ing tariff has brought them to their
marrow bones in great agony. Exper-
fence is dear school, but there is a
large class of the human family that
will learn in no other.

An Extinct rrihe.

The Boethick Indians, of New
foundland, at one time the aboriginal
inhabitants of the island, can now
only be counted by one or two skele-
tons and few skulls, so completely
have they been swept away. The
French employed the Mic Mac In
dams Of Nova Scotia to fight against
and exterminate them. The Boethicks
we're a peaceable and quiet race, Civ
en- to hunting and fishing. They
used canoes made Of birch rind and
the skins Of deer, like the Esqui-
mau cayak. They had no pottery,
and used utensils of birch rind
sewed together, but they utilized
soapstone dishes as lamps, their form
being similar to those among the
Esquimaux at the present day. They
carved deer and walrus horns and the
bones of seal into ornaments, which
they wore on their dresses, and
adorned their heads with combs.
The carvings are in triangular pat
terms, and out of the large collection
in the museum at st. Johns there
are no two ornaments having the
same pattern. Their stone imple-
ments were more rudely constructed
than those of the Western Indians

Couldn't Pass tho Band,

of some years standing, And this is
the story which the Enterprise of

IA 6agman, almost out Of breath
rushed into the Academy of Music
here the other night while the Smith
vile brass band was practicing and
asked to see the leader He said that
when the south-bound passenger
train, which is due here at 7:lb
o'clock p No., got near enough to hear
the band the engine pulling the train
suddenly became unmanageable and
stopped dead still, listened a mo-
ment gave a short and unearJhly
Shrek, reversed itself and took the
back track for Macon in regular
Nancy Hanks style. AS soon as it got
out Of hearing Of the band 1t stopped
and flaRman was sent ahead to ask
the boys to cease playing until they
could get 1t through town. Now, any
engine that won't pass through the
city while our band Is playing is a
freak Of the first water and should be
sidetracked and left for the rust to
devour. For sweet Heavenly music
give us Lrass bands and bullfrogs."

Industrial Growth in the west.

A census bureau bulletin recently
issued on the iron industries in the
fifteen Western and Northwestern
States deserves more than passing at
tention for several reasons. 1t shows
marvellous development in these in
dustries within a very recent date.
The vast amount Of capital invested
in them and the rapid rate at which
1t is increasing are among the first
things likely to impress themselves
upon the mind of the examiner
of the figures furnished. The in
crease in this capital in the decade
between 1870 and 1880 was more than
100 per cent In the following dec
ade the rate of increase was still
more rapid. In 1890 there was more
than double the amount invested
than in 1880 and over four times as
much as in 1870. At the first period
mentioned the aggregate capital of
all the companies engaged in this
line of industry was S25, 300, 41S. Ten
years later it had increased to $52,-
319, 593, and when the census bureau
statistics were completed II had
grown to $10S, O7O, 75l.
Another thing emphasized by the
figures presented is the constant ten
dency to Capitalization of power.
While the money employed increased
so largely in the last decade, the
number Of concerns engaged actually
decreased in the same period. In
1880 there were 231 establishments
of the kind referred to- In 1890 the
number had decreased to 225. In
1870 the number was 1852. This con-
centration of capital seems to have
had the effect of reducing the num-
Der of men employed when compared
with the amount Of capital invested.
The number Of the employees in the
l52 establishments running in 1870,
exclusive Of the clerical forces and
the general officers of the companies,
was l6, 85S. In 1880 1t had grown to
1854 and in 1890 it amounted to
1877.
At the same time there appears to
have been considerable increase in
the rate of wages paid. In 1870 the
aggregate sum paid out in this way
was SO, 220, 3S1. In 1880 1t had grown
to $14, 1853, 1871, while In 1850 it had
still further increased to 1923, 02O, O28.
The cost of material used In 1870 was
$25, 519,539. In 1880 it had grown
to $54, $50, 064, and in 1890 1t had
swollen to SOL, 7O7, 954. The value
of the product placed upon the mar
ket in 1870 was $40, 966, 907. In 1880
the output had grown in value to $751;
sos, 424 and in 1890 IL reached $780,
551,5 2l. The quantity OF manufac-
tured articles turned out in 1870
amounted to 1865, 4SO tons. In 1880
it had risen to 1,044, ITO tons. In
1890 1t reached 5,073, 800 tons.

The Raub locomotive is attracting
attention in the railroad world. The
distinguishing feature Is that the
pistons are placed vertically instead
of horizontally. They are three in
number, instead Of two, and are To-
Gated between two boilers which are
wholly independent Of each other.
The piston rods are attached to- a
crank shaft, each attachment max
ing an angle Of sixty degrees with
the other two, so as to avoid the dead
center. The driving rods are at
tached to the crank shaft and are
lifted up and pushed down instead of
being driven by force exerted hori-
zontally, as In ordinary locomotives
The inventor claims extraordinary
power, and the two boilers give him
steam capacity to reach 100 miles an
hour with a good-sized train without
any trouble. The cab is between the
two boilers and the ends of the loco
motive are right and left duplicates
of each other, so the locomotive
looks equally well and works equally
well running in either direction. The
preliminary tests are said to have re-
suited very satisfactorily.
