DOUBLE PAWS.
A Peculiar Stray Kitten Found on Diamond
Island.

Mrs. J. B. Irish of Great Diamond island,
has an old mother cat, mention of which
was some time ago made in this paper as
taking mCtherly care of three chickens.
This same cat is now caring for a queer
little waif that Mrs. Irish's children found
out in the field last Thursday. They heard
a faint sound as if kitten in distress, and
soon found the little fellow. that had
scarcely more than got its eyesfopen.
The kitten was taken home and the old cat
that had just weaned litter of half grown
kittens, did not receive it very cordially
But by the next day she was caring for it
as lovingly as any of her own children.
This kitten Las four paws on the extremi-
ties of its two fUre legs. The extra paws
are about two-thirds the size of the others,
and are not merely appendages, but are in
every way perfect, distinctly separate from
the others and of use in walking. The two
hind feet have one extra toe simply, but the
effect is very peculiar when the kitten
walks. 1t is as if it were wearing snow
shoes. This kitten is plump and well shaped.
1t was probably the offspring of some cat
that some cottager left on the island. a
very cruel thing to do, by the way.

The averseness of the English govern
ment to bi-metalism is indicated by the
fact of the suddenness with which Sir
William Harcourt, the new prime
minister, rises up to declare against
the reassemblng of the Brussels none
tary conference. He says the British
government can see no advantage in it.
Ex-President Harrison, in an address
made shortly before MIR. Harcourt's an
nouncement, stated that "there are
clear indications now in England and
Germany that they are feeling the effects
of scarcity of gold and its prostrating
influence upon their industries. They
are considering favorably the question
of larger and freer use of silver as a
money metal, and / think those coun-
tries will come to the next silver con-
ference with greater readiness than in
recent years and will agree upon a
larger use of silver as money"

Governor Tillman of South Calolina
is having barrels of trouble in enforcing
the 'dispensary" laws of that state. He
interprets the law as giving state con-
stables the right to search private resi-
dences for what he is pleased to call
'contraband' liquors, and this inter-
probation is the cause of all, or most
all, of the trouble, as the citizens are
almost unit in Directing to such espion-
age. A few days ago party of state
constables were operating, or attempt
ing to operate, in the vicinity of Darl
ington and fight was precipitated in
which two citizens and two constabes
were killed The sheriff of Darlington
wired Gov Tillman that he was unable
to preserve the peace and asked for
state troops to assist him. The governor
thereupon called out three companies
at Columbia and ordered them to the
scene of the trouble. The companies
assembled at their respective armories,
talked over the situation, and absolutely
refused to obey the orders. 1t was
thought that every militia company in

that the reason why the money is sc

he characterized AS the root of all our
woes. He declared that by repeating
that act confidence would return and
the wheels OF industry would once again
revolve as of yore. But no one but
himself has had the assurance To de-
clare that the industries of the country
were affected favorably by the repeal
of the Sherman law. He says he sees
signs of Improvement, which he credits
To the restoration of financial confidence
through the repeal of that act. Nc
doubt there is little business improve
ment; there must be in spring. Bust
ness of all kinds must go on somehow
i'm some sort, even ii it be in a hapless
depressed, uncertain condition.
1t is strange that President Cleveland
cannot see by this TIME what everyone In
the nation must have come to under
stand, that it is not the silver question
pro or con, that we are seriously suffer
ing from, but the threatened destruc
ton of our industries through the re
moval of the protection that through
so many years has fostered them.
We asked Democratic farmer the
other day, who was declaiming against
protection, why he did not tear dowr
his line fences and let his neighbors
stock into his farm. Why, he says, they
would destroy his crops. Precisely so
we put up barriers TO protect our pro
ducers, our laborers, against the in
roads of foreign competition which
would destroy them. When danger
threatens, there must be protection OF
destruction follows.
Mr.. Cleveland has thoroughly i'm
bibed the doctrine of free trade; he
has on all occasions shown himself to bt
inimical to American prosperity, for he
has ever proved himself the determined
enemy of that policy to which thai
prosperity is due. 1t is safe to assume
that in the whole history of the country
there has never been president who
has inflicted so much injury upon tho
country through his mistaken policy
conceit and obstinacy, as the one now
holding that office is sure to cause.
Truly, with man so dogmatic and in
doctrinated in the presidential Office
With a congress overwhelmingly con
trolled by free trade southern briga
diers; with senate controlled by Dem
ocratic millionaire Wall street specula
tors, we have indeed reason to grid uI
our loins for the adversely that surely
awaits MS, to-wit: Democratic free
trade cussedness
