One of our Democratic contempora-

almost as big as Vermont's. True, but
in the interests of historical accuracy it
ought to be added that the Arkansas
majority falls about as far below the
previous average in that State as the
Vermont vote scars above it.

! Baltimore American: None of these vagabond, predatory or violent move- ments have embraced any portion of the great body Of responsible unemployed. The American workingmen have not fol- lowed these tramp marches, and have not been concerned in the outbreaks that have come at the same time and that have sprung from the same impulse. The mob at~C Cleveland, which wantonly attacked the mills and factories with the anarchist spirit, was made up altogether of ignorant and debased foreign elements, The riots in the coke regions come from the same imbruted classes. American lives are sacrificed in defense of property, but no Americans are found among the aggres- sors. The selfish policy which has em- ployed these degraded and vicious for eigners for the sake of cheap labor finds it's retribution in those periodical out breaks. But with all that provocation the intelligent workingmen are not seen following or encouraging violent demon strations. es t&

HERR DOVES BULLET-PRooF
 COAT.

Military circles pretty much the world around are becoming greatly stirred over the buliet-proof cloth made up by the Ger man tailor, Dove. Secretary Lamont has had our consul at Berlin instructed to collect the fullest particulars of the re- cent experiments made in Germany by the imperial army authorities. Now the Brit ish war department is looking into the in- vention. Herr Dowe's coat or cuirass was subjected to tests in the Alhambra thea ter at London Wednesday under the di- rection of the duke of Cambridge, com mander in chief of the British army, and other high army officials. First, logs of wood 30 inches thick were set up, and a marksman, using the regulation British and German army rifles and ammunition, demonstrated the power of the guns by putting bullets clear through the logs. Herr Dowe's coat, made of black cloth about two inches thick, was then put in front of the logs, but the bullets simply remained in it without penetrating the inner surface. The cuirass was next placed against a sheet of glass, but the shots did DC. affect it. A horse, was led on to the stage and the coat put upon It's body. The animals skin was not so much as broken by the bullets, all of which remained im- | bedded in the coat. A rifle of especial power was brought out and fired at the coat at 8 distance of six feet with the same result. Herr Dove then put the cuirass on himself and asked to be fired at, but the officers present thought the tests had been conclusive enough as-it was, and the duke of Cambridge Is report ed to have remarked that his previous skepticism regarding the coats possibili- ties had vanished. .>...... ~
 So seems to be promised counter-rev- olution in military equipment which is to overcome all the tremendous results late- ly obtained in the invention and manufac- l ture of destructive firearms. If these latter agents of destruction tended to peace by making war too terribly bloody for any army or nation to stand up long under 1t, what is peace to win from this new device by which the effect of these agencies of slaughter is largely nullified, and the science of human destruction Is brought back nearly to where 1t was be- fore the invention of gunpowder9 We had
 thought that war was finally to be driven |out the world by the force of it's sweep ing possibilities in the way of blood-let- ting. But possibly it is destined to go
 out before the mere force of ridicule,
 which was becoming so fatal to 1t when
 gunpowder gave finishing blow 10 chiv- airy.

 small church mouse; Who has a hard step-mother who will
 keep him in the house.; Who runs away, and meets a man who
 takes him by the hand, And tries to make him fit to lead wick

 the pirate crew; Becomes, indeed, their leader, but whose
 principles are true, And gives his followers away to him they
 wish to rob I think boys like him better if his name
 be Jack or Bob; Who jumps into raging sea and saves
 drowning girl, Whose father, as it chances, is a naughty Who goes to confagrations with little
 water-pail, ... And takes hand just when the engines seem about to fail; Who goes to war with with nothing but
 dagger made of steel, And with it forces thousands of his ene- Or who, perchance, sells papers in a so at I tractive way That he becomes millionaire in one year
 and day; l1 Whom nothing daunts--this hero true { the school-boy much enthralls-. Who if twas necessary could swim up F Niagara Falls; And when his fathers bout to taste a
 bitter galling cup Appears upon the scene in time to pay the mortgage up; ... Who goes back and weds the child of him

 ing poetry That no one knows is writ by him, but r which all men can see Is finer verse than Milton ever wrote, ex- celled by none Save one or two small verses by the inn mortal Tennyson; Who could save folks from drowning if the chance should e'er arise; Whose words are few, and always of the |; wisest of the wise; Who, spite of all temptation to wed hand some wealthy girls, Prefers some little freckled maid with pretty yellow curls; Who's always saying noble things, like "I am here!" and "Hold!" "You cannot buy my conscience, nay! for all your store of gold;" Who gives away to those who need, no matter what his store, And says, Take all I've got; weep be- cause I have no more;" Who grows to manly stature with pal Tor on his face, And walks into drawing -roomswfth real l ly wondrous grace; Who never reads or says & thing that strikes the girls as trash, And settles down to happiness and twirls | brown mustache -'-Jahn Ke9ad'tcE Bdmgs, tn Harpe,'s Magazine

This preparation has for years pastgbeen making a brilliant success as a remedy for cold in the head, catarrh and hay fever. Used in the initial stages of these complaints Cream Balm prevents any serious development of the symptoms, while almost numberless cases are on record of radical cures of chronic catarrh and hay fever after all other treatments have proved of no avail. 81##

The pension bureau Is showing readi- ness to increase the pensions of the;veter- ans and widows of soldiers who served in Mexican and Indian wars. It is proposed, i, with the approval and no doubt at the suggestion of the pension bureau, to in- crease the pensions of the Mexican war veterans and widows to $12 month. This would give the Mexican war widows, at $12 month, decided advantage over the widows of union soldiers receiving $8 a month. The Mexican war veterans and widows live chiefly in the south, and many of the former fought against the govern ment in the rebellion. The north does not begrudge evidence of national grati- tude to those who suffered at any time in the cause of the country, but the loyal representatives of the states from which the union armies were recruited should insist that the union veteran and the wid- ows of the dead who saved the life of the republic shall have treatment at least as generous as that accorded to men and the families of men who had forfeited their claims upon the country by serving in the ranks of it's enemies.
