very noticeable fact that the attendance at
the Republican meetings greatly exceeded
that of the other two parties. President Per-

all the different political parties. J. II.
Irving presided and introduced Melvin G.

one hour and a quarter held the undivided
attention of the audience on national is
sues. The speaker took up the tariff bill
q. il affected our local industries, lumber
and coal, and his arraignment of the sell
fish policy of the Democracy sas most
scathing and aggressive. Mot of the
speakers attention, however, was devoted
to a discussion of the fallacies of Popu-
lism. 1he next speaker wss Capt NJ. I.

remarks were characterized by earnestness
and intelligence. The meeting was uni

SEw YoRK. Oct 30AThe declaration of
William X. Grace today that the state
Democratic organization is supporting

pastors. is received with iDcreduli,y by
many who still insist that that faction is
in favor of Hills defeat and rolling up as
large vote az possible for Wheeler. The

qualification at the number aud character
of those present at the Cooper Union
meeting last night. and are confident that
the Democratic reform ticket will make
good showing on election day.
Many anti-H Democrats. IL is believed.
will vote straight for Morton, taking
the ground. as one of them remarked to-
day. that vote for Wheeler will be only
half . vote against Hill. and that the
Wheeler votes are intsnded to aid Morton
anyway.
The Hill men are as confident ~ ever,
referring with special satisfaction to the
personal fight their candidate is making.
and 10 the enthusiasm with which he is
being received by his supporters.
Most of them, however. do not
seek to conceal their disappointment
or anger that his candidacy has not re-
ceived open aud active encouragement
from the national administration. The
Republicans abate none of their claims,
aud insist that, with the general Repub-
lican tendency this year and the Demo-
cratic detection from Hill, the latter will
be showed under.

one of the largest audiences ever assem-
bled in the opera house. Congressman
Dooittle spoke tonight. claiming the un-
divided attention OF his auditors for two
hours His arraignment of the policies
and acts of the administration were re-
ceived with great applause. He showed
conclusiveiy how the aboiishment of
tho tariff on cedar is running
that great industry in his section.
there being on the way TO San Francisco a
vessel loaded with cedar lumber brought
from Fraser river. British Columbia, some
thing which never occurred before in the
history of the lumber shipping industry on
the Sound. He also proved TO the entire
satisfaction of all how lowering the tariff
on coal insured a competition against the
home product. which will surely result in
the stagnation of the great coal mining in
dustry of Washington. His reference
to the thirty years of prosperity under
Republican rule. as compared with the
era of strikes. failures and bank suspen-
sions under the free trade policy. drew
from the audience uproarioas applause.
which continued almost as long as that
occasioned by the mention of Lincoln,
Grant and Garfield. Mr.. Doolittle's speech
is conceded to be one of the finest ever
heard here, and has made many votes for
the Republican party.

PoRr ANGELES. Oct. 30.-[Specisi. T.
Hon. w. Ii. Doolittle, of Tacoma, ad-
dressed large audienc last evening at the
opera house in this city, and his earnest
manner and conservative remarks created
a favorable impression in the minds of his
listeners. His description of the scenes
surrounding the passage of the Wilson
bill in the halls of congress carried
especial weight, owing TO the fact that
Mr.. Doolittle was on the floor
at the time and witnessed the
efforts of the representatives of the
South to foist upon the people of
the United States a measure that would
protect the industries of the Southern
states, and throw those of the North open
to the competition OF the world. The Popu-
lists who were present were give some hard
nuts to crack. and today they are trying
to convince themselves that their repre-
sentstives in congress were not as incon-
sistent and unbusiness-like as statistics
paint them.

AN UNEVEN DISTRIBUTION.


vaSyang N1nsboe of AnlnDA1s h DidsH
Couatriss 81 b world.
II Ii singular how unevenly tho AMI
mails are distributed In various coun-
tries, and especially Is this the case
with horses. Certain cities OF Eastern
Asia, for instance, have no horses at
oil. The Tuamotu archipelago, which
extends in the Pacific Ocean . distance
Of 1900 miles, is put down as possessing
only two horses. They must be lone
some animals, unless they are SO fortu-
nate AZ to have the came owner.
Tho most populous horse country In
the world Is Russia. 1t has 10000, 900
OF horses. The United States comes
next, with q horse population OF more
than 1900, 900.
The countries OF Western and South
ern Europe are thinly populated with
horses, compared with the American
continent and Russia. Italy, with q
human population of more thon 10000
ODO, has only 100000 horses. But it
has almost twice as many mules and
donkeys as horses.
Spain has only n few more than 300,-
600 horses, or about one horse to every
60 peop.e. Most OF the cavaliers" Of
Spain ride on donkeys.
The United Kingdom has only about
1900, OOO horses.
The United States is the most popu-
lous mule country In the world. 1t is
also, by many millions, the most popu-
lous pig country, possessing over 49,
100000 of swine.
There is also q larger proportion OF
Pigs to the human population than any
other country larger even than In
Ireland, . country which is popularity
but mistakenly supposed to be the
Utopia Of the pig.
The country OF the sheep par excel
lence IL Australia. On that continent
there are q few more than $1,000 600
people, but there are 62, 600, 900 sheep
that is to say. 20 sheep to every man,
woman and child.
In the United States there are only
about 47,OS0,0Oo sheep, which, though
u larger sheep population than that OF
any other country except Australia
and the Argentine Republic, is not
proportionately so great q number as
several other countries possess. British
India has nor cattle than any other
country, but the United States has
almost rs many upwards of 5000, OO0.
However, the Argentine Republic
again leads in tho number of cattle in
proportion to human beings.
1T the cattle in Argentina were d.
vided equally among all the people,
every man, woman and child would
have five cattle to take care of. and
there would be enough left to give one
additional "critter" each to almost a
million Of the people.

Horrtble Canntbalism in India.

The fact that there are cannibals by
race, tradition and profession at the
present day In India Is established be-
You'd doubt. 1t seems incredible that
in . large community like that OF Mas
sick or Benares the presence would be
tolerated of abandoned creatures, who
hunt the burning-grounds with the
avowed purpose OF snatching and Sat
ing the alf-consumed flesh of the dead
If they be refused the aims they impu-
IDENTIFY demand with threats OF venge-
ance. Even more extraordinary is it
to know that one OF them, having
seized ore OF three boys ut play near
one of the temples Of Nassick, ripped
him open and proceeded to eat him
while still living, was sentenced by the
district court to only transportation
for life. The Aghoris are undoubtedly
cannibals, and although they prefer
carrion, and as q rule wait for its pu-
trefaction before attacking a body with
their teeth, they unquestionably, when
opportunity offers, slay the young or
weak to mako q horrible feast.-Bom-

WHAT FRIENDSHIP Is.
Mans Necessity for One Who Can Shars
His JOYS and Sorrows.

Mans Necessity for One Who Can Share
His Joys and Sorrows.
At any time OF life q great friendship
Is a great happiness, said NJ. Mangasa-
eian in q recent address before the
Society OF Ethical Culture, Chicago.
Friendship is the moral law OF gravi-
tation by which things unto each 9TH
er like" are brought together. 1t is
by touch and contact, by friction and
fellow feeling that development be-
comes possible. or all isolntions, the
saddest Is solitude of soul; it Is sure to
bite and blight eve the most fertile
and versatile mind. All heaithful
souls pant for comradeship. Society
Is to us what the sea is to the fiji,
what the air is to the birds, what the
early spring is to the buds upon the
trees. We are not satisfied to be alone
IA anything.
The only word which, when dropped
into the human ear, touches bottom is
the VOID friend. You say, this is my
father; but is he your friend? 1t is
evident that the word il frequently
used in jest. Men and wOmen oftel
take this holy name In vain. We speak
OF friendship when WI mean commerce
or interest; we mistake the shallow
tinsel for the sterling ore, the imita-
ton flower for the gift Of nature. The
alliances which pass for friendship are
but q burlesque Of friendship.
A friend is one who understands us:
one who believed in US, and in whose
presence we car be our very selves.
To the stranger We are cloakel and
masked, but We approach q friend as
to an altar; we come into his house as
into . temple, we look up to his eyes
as we look up to the sun; in his pres
ence our Thought is speech, ourspeech
Is truth AT the approach Of a friend
fear, care, doubt, clouds, all take wings
and fly away as birds do from q nest at
which some one has thrown y stone.
My friend ID myself poetized, myself
sainted. There can be no friendship
where there is nc OF soul
and harmony OF pursuits. Persons Of
dissimilar dispositions may be good
friends, but persons following contrary
aims can lever join In friendship. One
passion, n ideal this Is the rock upon
which friendship steadies itself.
The virtuous alone have friends.
The deprsyed have their accomplices,
c0nfederates, associates, partners; the
politician has his agents and cliaues;
the prince his cOnrtiers; the woman OF
fashion and wealth her admirers the
virtuOus alone have friends. Catalina
had his fellow-c0nspirators, Octayius
Cesar and Louis XIV. their cOurtiers:
but Socrates, Cicero and Jesus had
friends.
