VERY SMALL COMFORT, INDEED.


attempt to draw some comfort from the
fact that the decrease in business is not
as great as it might have been. About
the only optimists today are the finan-
cial writers who know nothirg sof the
conditions of this country outside of
New York, and as has been abundantly
demonstrated, don't know what is good
for that city. The fact is. the business
men look upon the Democratic admins
tra,ion with suspicion aud will not ven-
ture dollar, that they are not COM
PEELED to, until our affairs are put into
the hands of more competent men. The
party in power was not elected by the
business men of this country, but by the
newly naturalized voters, the never
changing born Democrats, and g solid
south.
In this age of progression, advance
ment is the order of the day. and the
great mistake of putting in power
party that subsists upon traditions, is
proving mighty costly error. Ancient
Democracy is fast putting this country
back to its primitive condition. The
purchasing power of money is increas-
ing every day, but the ability to make
dollar is decreasing very much faster.
The Commonwealers represent but a
small portion of the aggrieved. While the
dull times has thrown millions out of
employment, it has deprecated values
until competency has succumbed to
bankruptcy, and the average business
man counts his losses instead of gains,
and those who have survived this far are
hanging on by their eyebrows.

RAINMAkERs IN THE ORIENT.

Queer Methods Adopted by the Japanese
to Coax Showers In Time of Drought.
During the summer season in Japan
droughts are very frequent, and the
rice fields, before so beautiful, present
ing as they do all the different shades
of green imaginable. gradually lose
their brilliancy of color, turn yellow
and parched, and threaten the total de-
struction of the crop. Not only does
the rice suffer. but the wells dry up
and necessitate the carrying of water
from long distances. After waiting
and hoping in vain for a downfall of
rain, says a Yokohama letter, the peo-
pie turn out en- masse to woke the
power of their deities to send them the
saving showers. A procession is
formed of perhaps two hundred men,
all nearly naked, who. carrying straw
emblems representing the sun with
rain pouring from it and with long
streamers having prayers written on
them flying in the wind, proceed to
the nearest river or bay, where the
whole. company wades into the water
until they are waist deep, and, sur
rounding the emblerus, pray aloud and
throw water on the images with both
hands.
After doing this several times the
procession is reformed. when it pro-
ceeds to the temple to pray again.
This ceremony is repeated several
time, and should the rain come in
abundance prayers are offered in
thanksgiving. Should it be only a
shower, they blame themselves for not
having prayed fervently enough and
continue their devotions until a down
DOur- takes place.
Another form of devotion for the
same purpose takes place at nightfall,
when long boat is filed with men
and padded swiftly across the harbor,
accompanying the prayers by the regu-
lar beating of tomtoms and gongs.
Sometimes at night, away down the
bay, may be heard the weird sound of
tomtoms and the voices of the men
gradually growing louder and louder
as the boat approaches, each man bend
ing to his paddle in regular time as it
passes US swiftly and gradually disap-
pears in the darkness and is soon lost
to sight and hearing.

LlNcoLN.s MAIDEN SPEECH.
1t Was short and simple and Went
Straight "a, fhe Point


1t Was Short and Simple and Went
Straight to the Point.
A citizen of Buffalo has found among
his papers an account of the circum-.
stances under which Abraham Lincoln
made his maiden speech. 1t was
originally printed in the Springfield
Qll.) Republican, and is as follows:
1.-THE president of the United States
made his maiden speech in Sangamon
county at Pappasville (or Richland) in
the year 1882. He was then a whig
and candidate for the legislature of
this state. The speech is sharp and
sensible. To understand why it was
so short the following facts will show:
~ Mr.. Lincoln was a young man, say
twenty-five years of age, and timid.
(2) His friends and opponents in the
joint discussions had rolled the sun
nearly down. Lincoln saw it was not
the proper time then to discuss the
questions fully, and hence he cut his
remarks short. Probably the other
candidates had wholly exhausted the
subjects under discussion. The time,
according to W. II. Herndon's infor-
mant-wflo has kindly furnished this
valuable reminiscence for us-was
1882; it may have been 1881. The pres
ident lived at the time with james A.
Hurdon. at Salem, Sangamon county,
who heard the speech, talked about it,
and knows the report to be correct.
The speech, which was characteristic
of the man, was as follows:
Gentlemen, FeAow-Citizens: 1 pre-
sume you all know who i am. 1 am
humble Abraham Lincoln. I have
been solicited by my friends to become
a candidate for the Legislature. My
politics are short and sweet, like an
.'old woman's sdance." 1 am in favor
of a national bank. 1 am in favor OF
the international improvement system
and a high protective tariff These
are my sentiments and political prin-
ciples. If elected will be thankful.
If defeated it will be all the same .

Girls in Alaskan society.

Visitors to Sitka pronounce it not
bad thing at all to be girl in Alaska
society, for girls are long way above
par in the social swim. There are card
parties and receptions, there are teas
and dinners on the trim little gum
boats, with men to preside at the urn
and show how badly even the best of
the sex do the things woman does so
gracefully. There are balls in the
Russian castle on the hill, where in the
old days the Muscovite governors
brought their high-bred wives and held
carnival through the long Alaskan
winters Like the Japanese, in case of
company everybody borrows of every
body. The governors wife is served
from her own china at the captains S
dinner, and the ieutenant's bride may
eat from her own wedding spoons at
the paymaster's party, but there is less
strife and envy and uncharitableness
than in social circles at the great CEN
tiers of civilization, where every body
is striving to outdo everybody else.

GOLDFISH GALORE.
Portland Boasts a single Pile OF One Hun
dred and Thirteen Cords.


Imagine 4.50O quintals, or 504, 900
pounds, or 352 TONS or 113 cords of
salted cod and pollock, all neatly piled
up in one building, and You will have,
says the Lewiston Jour nal, before you
the largest stock of fish in the city of
Portland at the present time. It has
all been brought from Nova Scotia and
Newfoundland since the 10th of Octo-
Der. There is one pile Of fourteen tons
of specially selected Goldfish. They
were big fellows when taken from the
water ana weighed then from 40 to 80
pounds each. Now they weigh from 25
to 35 pounds apiece. When they have
been stripped of the skin, carefully
boned, trimmed into slices of faultless
flesh like so much clean, clear bread or
cheese, and packed in boxes marked
''boneless fish," they will weigh from
10 to Is pounds apiece. Such is the
shrinkage of an sO-pound Goldfish into
the perfect food product. In the trim
ming process about 20 pounds of
scrap are removed to every 100
pounds of the boneless slices. This is,
of course, good food tissue, though it
looks decidedly like ''leavings." 1t is
sold for about s cents pound. Coun-
try fish peddlers buy it, sometimes in
100 and $50 pound lots, and sell it to
farmers and villagers, to make into
hash. for about 10 cents a pound. The
skins are packed in barrels and sent
away to Gloucester, Mass, where they
are made into glue. They bring about
a cent and half a pound. The bones
sell for two or three dollars ton and
are hauled over to Cape Elizabeth to be
| utilized as Il fcrt i.er icr cahbarc.;

The Birth of a Japanese Prince

There is great joy in the court of
Japan over the birth of a young prince.
He is, it is true, only so-called ''half
blood that is, he is not the son of the
empress, but of Sono Yoshmo, one of
the secondary wives of the milzado,
who has already presented her liege
lord with the Princesses Bune and
Kane. Should the crown prince die,
and no other be born, the young "half
blood" could succeed to the throne; and
that'is the cause of the JOY in the palace
of the emperor.
