Hsw They Are Fishsd for and Recovered
From the Sea.
One Of the queer occupations OF
mankind is that Of dragging for lost
anchors. 1t is carried on in bays an d
rivers, and even in the open sea along
the coast. A writer says that several
sloops and schooners are engaged al
most exclusively in this pursuit. The
hunters are as familiar with the
ground where anchors are to be found
IS fishermen are with the favorite
haunts Of the living inhabitants OF the
sea. 1t is said that the stretch OF sea
Of the Delaware breakwater is most
fruitful in dropped anchors This Is
owing to the fact that so
many vessels are compelled by the
state Of the weather, or Of the tide, to
ride of the breakwater, being often
caught in gales while stationed there.
The manner of fishing for lost an
.hors is most simple. A chain is let
down in loop long enough to drag
along the bottom, and the vessel goes

Of about four cents pound, which is

anchors. A big anchor will weigh
5000 pounds, so that the fsherme

Don't "Shilly.Shally."

The struggle now going on be-
tween the Democratic and Republic
an parties is liable to deceive thous-
ands of earnest Prohibitionists.
The Republican party is trying
hard to create the impression that
the country is rapidly going down
to everlasting ruin, simply because
the Democratic party is in power;
and under this false alarm. the Re-
publican politicians and press are ap-
pealing to Prohibitionists to stand
with the old party Gust once
more" and help "redeem the coun-
try" Now, the truth is, and
every thinking Prohibitionist
ought to have common sense
enough to know it, that the condi-
ton of the country to-day is the le-
gitimate outgrowth of over thirty
years of Republican rule. Every
one of the 245,OOO retail liquor
houses in the nation holds the per-
nit and sanction of the government,
given under laws passed by the Re-
publican party. Our "fifty-cent
silver dollar" about which political
demagogues are talking SO long and
loud just now, is the product of
Republican legislation. The de-
hatchery, the lawlessness, and gen.
eral decentralization broadcast among
the people of our land, is the inevi-
table harvest from the seed sown by
the Republican party. That party
stands behind every distillery,
brewery, and saloon in the United
States. is moneyed aristocracy,
the friend of the liquor traffic, a
promoter of monopolies and trusts,
and the enemy Of the common peo-
pie. It's return to power means an
increase in the standing army, the
further decline OF agriculture, the
enslavement of labor, and the elm
ination OF the principle of Probibi-
ton from every state in the Union.
1t is arrogant, intolerant, and unre-
lenting in it's spirit Of persecution.
No party on earth has been so vic
ious and and vile in it's abuse of Pro.
hibitionists.
The Prohibitionist who, in the
face of these facts, allows himself
to be frightened by this Democratic
scarecrow into voting the Republi.
can ticket 'just once more" is un'
worthy the name of patriot. II
