TIMELY.

One of the timely utterances of the day. and "so true Henry" is the follow. ing from yesterdays New York Re. corder: 'The one thing the country | will not forget the democratic party for, Is its failure to do anything If it cannot fix up tariff bill of its own it could at least get out of Washington | and leave the Mckinley act alone for six months. If it cannot agree 1t might adjourn. If it can formulate no tariff policy of its own, it might have the grace to stop worrying the country and destroying its business by giving up the job that is plainly too big for it. If German & Co. will have nothing but their own bill, and If Cleveland is determined to veto that, why don't they all act like men, bring the thing to the voting and vetoing point, do what they mean to do, and give capital chance l to know where it stands this fall, and | labor chance to get to work? Cor mans bill is bad, Wilson's bill is worse but either of them, if passed, would end the terrible uncertainty and give bus mess men their exact bearings. without which there will be no considerable re- vival of trade and industry this fall.
 And if they cannot pass either, then they had better kill both. That would make the Mckinley act sure basis for importing and manufacturing for another six months at least, and the country would get relief to that extent from the paralysis of the present mud dle. What the business interests want to see now is the daylight of fixed and settled conditions. Any action is better now than no action at all.
 If the democratic congress would either pass something or refuse to pass 1 anything, and then if MT. Cleveland l would either sign or veto what was passed, and be done with it, the whole nation is ready to say: For this relief much thanks"
 The really maddening feature of the existing Washington situation is that this precious aggregation of statesmen reformers and compromisers, will neith- CT fish, cut bait nor go ashore"

ing tide of public wrath and condemna- ton. The democratic party sees. and its head men acknowledge, that the party's tenure of power Is exceedingly precarious. and It's doom badly threat ened. The record of imbecllity and in- efficiency the party has made during the past year confronts 1t. What has the party done to benefit the people, to set back the great wave of business depression from which the whole coun- try suffers? It found the nation pros porous under republican rule. with the factories busy. the working men con- tented. the treasury full to overilowing To-day all this Is changed as every body sees and knows. One of the many striking indications of democratic ap- prehension is the declaration by Mayor Gilroy of New York that the next dem ocratic candidate for mayor of that city may be man outside of Tam many hall. It shows how Tammany fears the result of the coming munci- pal election. Tammany Is on the run. This Is republican year. Republicans. however. do not need to sit down In glow of assurance and fold their hands. There are many congressional districts in the country which must be carried before the complexion of the majority of the next house of representatives becomes assuredly republican.

COLD-STOR4GE RATS AND CATS.
How They Have Adapted Themselves to
 IJra i'm , Eree,inp AtuosDhere.


 How They Have Adapted Themselves to Life In Freezing Atmosphere. From the Pittsburg (Penn.) Dispatch.l In the cold-storage warehouses of
 Pittsburg there were no rats or mice.
 The temperature in the cold rooms was
 too low. The keepers soon found. how
 ever, that the rat is an animal of re-
 markable adaptability. After some of these houses had been in operation for
 a few months the attendants found | that rats were at work in the rooms | where the temperature was constant
 ly kept below the freezing point. They
 were found to be clothed in wonderful ly long and thick fur. even their taper
 ing. snake-like tails being covered by a
 thick growth of hair. Rats whose coats
 have adapted themselves to the condi- tions under which they live have do- | mesticated themselves in all the stor- l age warehouses in Pittsburg.
 The prevalence of rats in these places | led to the introduction of cats. Now,
 it is well known that pussy is lover of
 warmth and comfort. Cats. too, have | a great adaptability to conditions. When cats were turned loose in the
 cold rooms they pined and died because
 of the excessive cold. One cat was
 finally introduced into the rooms of the Pennsylvania Storage company which | was able to withstand the low temper ature. She was a cat of unusually
 thick fur, and she thrived and grew fat l in quarters where the temperature was below 30 degrees. By careful nursing, | a brood of seven kittens was developed l in this warehouse into sturdy, thick furred cats that love an Icelandic cline.
 They have been distributed among the l other cold-storage houses of Pittsburg,
 and have created a. peculiar breed of cats, adapted to the conditions under
 which they must exist to find their | prey.
 These cats are short-tailed, chubby | pussies, with hair as thick and full of | underfur as the wildcats of the Cana | dian woods. One of the remarkable | things about them is the development of their "feelers." These long, stiff
 hairs that protrude from cats nose
 and eyebrows are, in the ordinary do- | mestic feline, about three inches long.
 In the cats cultivated in the cold ware.
 houses the "feelers" grow to a length of five and six inches. This is proba-
 bly, because the light is dim in these places, and all movements must be the l result of the feeling sense.
 The storage people say that if one of these furry cats is taken into the open
 air, particularly during this hot spell
 it will die in few hours. It cannot
 endure a high temperature. and an in.
 troduction to stove would send it in. l tO fiji

4 VAIL FOR UNITY.

The democratic party appears to he
 between the devil and the deep sea. If it doesn't do something with the tariff bill it's situation is painful. and if it does it's situation is alarming. Already the leaders of the party recognize the handwriting upon the wall, and frantic shouts for unity and harmony are being heard all along the lines. The leaders see trouble brewing. The chief demo- cratic papers of the metropolis are filled with pathetic appeals for united action for the coming November elections, and with interviews with leading demo- crats of all walks in life enforcing the appeals. In New York the Tammany tiger shrinks back before the on-rush-

4 FIGHT WITH AN OCTOPUS.
Five San Francisco Fisherman Have Live
 ly Experience at Sea. ..


 ly Experience at Sea. -.
 (From the San Francisco Examiner,] '- A huge octopus was raised on Fisher
 mems wharf on Thursday afternoon from Captain Charles Collins boat, and the four members of the crew shud- 1 dered as they handled it and told of
 their terrible fight far out from the
 land. The monster covered large sec
 tion of the wharf, and its large tenta-
 cles were avoided by the curious crowd | with dread. -.-- | Tt was a fearful fight we had with
 the monster" said Captain Collins, in
 his broken Greek, land it is only by
 miracle that am here to tell of it. The men with me were Nicholas Ceze,
 John Zoga, John Colona, and Ezola Consendine. We left last Monday morning for the reef off Point Reyes to fish for rock cod. For a couple of days luck was against us, but then the fish
 began to take hold of our hooks, and
 they were soon being landed in a show
 CT in the bottom of our boat. At day. light on Wednesday morning we com
 menced to take up our lines as usual. Several hooks were brought up, but
 with no success, and we began to get discouraged, when there came a vio-
 lent tug on the line, and a huge arm
 of the monster flashed violently out of
 the water and landed across the gun
 vale of the boat. In an instant it fast
 ened with its tenacious suckers, while the water about the boat was lashed
 into foam and the sea seemed to be
 alive with the fish's snakelike feelers.
 One of the men grasped an oar to dis
 lodge the arm, but before he could reach
 it the body of the monster rose beside
 the boat and only a few feet away from me.
 An octopus can be killed almost in lstantly if it can be stabbed just below Ithe eye, even if the weapon be only the lsmall blade of pocket knife" said the captain, rand when the fellow rose SC lclose to me and presented such a-good Opportunity for the death blow, I reach
 ed for a boat-hook, the handiest weap- lon and made lunge for the vital spot
 AS did so the boat careened violently
 and, instead of dispatching the brute
 inflicted only a wound that maddened
 the monster the more. and the battle
 then became one of life and death be be
 tween us.
 A couple more of the arms of the oc.
 topus had by this time been woune around the boat, and they reached
 from stem to stern. Oars and boat hooks were our only weapons, but | . was almost useless to try to pry thu , suckers from the boat They would nt
 sooner become loosehed at one spo than they would fasten themselves pf another. The boat was completely en . veloped by them, and all hands wer. ] | kept busy to escape being caught in th. clutches of the relentless suckers The small raft rolled and rocked stt | the arms of the monster, and every mo ment it threatened to throw all i've o us into the water. e3ss s5fs "The only hope we had was to dea the monster the deRtH blow. but q seemed the opportunity would n6 'l lassin he offered.

The London Lancet says: Old people make a great mistake when they give up work. Many men who have made a competency In business and feel en- titled to retire from active work find themselves declining in health and be- coming prematurely old for want of occupation. In most aged persons the vital functions continue in active exer- else under normal conditions, but if the regularity and moderation of busi- ness life are departed from trouble will surely follow. On the other hand the Lancet held that If in any direction it is allowable for competitors in the race of life to dispense with self-control it would appear that they may, to a great extent, use this liberty with re- spect to physical and mental exertion." In other words, we must not eat too much or drink too much. but we may study hard and take plenty of exercise not only without harm. but with the best results, and If old people wish to live out all the days they should find plenty to do for both mind and body.

BLOOD AND SKILL WILL TELL.

And now comes the intelligence that the big Chinese warship Chen Yuen es- capped after being badly worsted by the Japs, and has gone into port for ex- tensive repairs. The fight afforded a notable object lesson in naval war fare, which all the great war powers are studying with eager interest. Up to date the prevailing. and undoubted- ly correct opinion, is that the Japs handled their ships, guns and torpe- does with more skill than the Chinese, and hence were the victors. Given an equal equipment and equality in ships, the old story is exemplifed; the best men win. Even with inferior equip- ment and ships, naval battles have been frequently won owing to superiority in the men as to skill and drill.
 The Corean war is being watched with the closest attention by the Euro pean powers, notably by Great Britain and Russia. Each of these great pow CTS is ready to intervene and clinch at moments notice. England wants Russia to reap no advantage from the contest. Russia has for years cast longing eyes upon the east coast of Asia, with reference to gaining by hook or crook, a suitable harbor south of her Ifrigid Siberian territory. England is averse to any gain of this kind by her old time opponent and adversary.
 Meanwhile there is joy in the land of the Mikado. The Japs are rejoicing and chuckling over their success in the struggle. which certainly has been bril-. liant and flattering to the national pride. The laps have not associated with and favored modern civilization in vain, and bid fair to overcome their op. ponents of the slow coach semi-barba. rian empire. They have undoubted su
 periority over the Chinese in fast cruisers, and have decidedly the lead ir swift commerce destroyers. In formid able lronclads they are deficient, poss essing only one terror of this class The Japs' leading men say that all the, want Is to have England keep it's hands off in this fight. If England keeps out of the quarrel they claim that they will
 wax" the Chinese. and show to the world that they are good fighters and up to date in waging warfare. But as
 before remarked, the present conflict
 has already demonstrated again the effectiveness and potency of skilled seamen in naval eombats. Other things
 being equal, or nearly equal, that ses power will win whose ships are bes
 officered and manned, and whose sea
 men are best disciplined, most active
 most intelligent, most heroic. Man
 hood still counts in battles upon the SC; to-day as 1t did in days of old.

A correspondent of "The Boston Tran script" draws a gloomy picture of the farmers in the hill country of New Hampshire. There is no large area of land anywhere under cultivation. and only small herds of cattle. The scatter ed houses are surrounded by garden patch. a few acres of corn. pasture. with dense woods encircling all. There is no real farming" he says. Each man has his own mouth, and a smaller or larger circle of dependent mouths to i'll. and he goes at 1t in the way that lies nearest to his hand: in the way that his father went at 1t be- fore him. and his grandfather and his father. The commercial idea of account ing for outgoes and incomings Is no part of their mental makeup; they live from field to mouth. and their ho- rizon is bounded by the store which takes their butter and eggs in trade. and the town house where they exer- else the rights and functions of Ameri can citizens"
