THE OYSTER GOT EVEN.
He Quietly Grabbed the Ducks Bill and
Chung to 1t.

rs Auletiy "EAuoc" ~ u
Chung to 1t.
The meek and lowly oyster can some
times become a ~revengeful as well as a
dangerous antagonist, as an unwary duck
found to his cost a day or so ago over
on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake.
This careless duck, belonging to the
tribe known as fishermen" was SWIM
ming about in search of food off the
shores near Claiborne when he espied an
oyster-a nice, fat, juicy oyster he was
with shell widely parted, feeding, doubt
less, on the simple and rather intangible
diet upon which an oyster is supposed to
feed.
The duck, true to his greedy instincts,
dived for that supposed juicy morsel and
was about to swallow him whole without
salt or pepper even, when the angry pas
sion of the oyster arose and swapping his
shells together caught the u%nsuspecting
ducks bill in a vice-iike embrace. The
duck rose to the surface, shook his head,
mumbled apologies through his tight-shut
mouth, but the biyalve's heart was hard
ened and he held IN. Soon the constant
load pulling down his head and growing
weightier and weighter began to tire the
duck, and his neck arched lower and low-
er until it finally sank into the water and
he was drowned.
A deck-hand on the steamboat Tangier
merged yesterday, and picked him up,
says a Baltimore paper. The oyster was
still clinging to his victim with a relent-
less, deadly grasp, and the tragedy that
must have been enacted as described was
revealed. Both the duck and the slayer
were brought to Baltimore on the Tangier
and proved quite a curiosity.

A PATCHED PONY.
Tricky Indians Make Use of q Rabl

about the thickness of the Indian, I did
not know that he was as shrewd as I
afterward found him to be.
II wanted a pony for some reason, and

a crowd of the greasy citizens of the out
skirts. The next day l was besieged
with offers. i looked all over the lot and
picked three or four to make my final Sc
lection from. After several hours I set
tied upon an animal that l thought to be
in the pink Of condition and form. I
took him for a good round sum and a
trade thrown into the bargain.
Il rode home on the animal. As I got
into my quarters / noticed that the horse
appeared to be uneasy, as If suffering
from injury. AS L live, l found that a
patch of skin several inches square had
come off his back. / looked into it and

Facts OF History Relating to the Demo-
cratic Party.

As q chapter OF history, the following
from the Cincinnati Gazette is not only
interesting, but instructive. 1t shows how
the Democratic party has always been
insincere on the tariff question, and how
all its aims have been to catch votes on
the pretense of inaugurating tariff re-
form. The facts of history in the article
are recalled at this time with a good deal
of force:
THE Democratic party in its national
convention, in its platforms and in its
legislation has never been sincere on the
tariff question. 1t was not sincere when
il elected Polk against Clay; it was not
sincere when it nominated Cass against
Taylor; it was not honest when it adopt
ed the Walker platform; it was not sin
cere when it elected Pierce; it was dis
honest when it nominated Buchanan, the
representative of Pennsylvania quasi
protection, in Cincinnati. ia not one of
those great contests did X represent what
the Courier Journal claims to be free
trade principles. its aim throughout was
TO catch votes and thus carry elections
on the pretense of reforming the tariff.
In the halls of legislation il was never
sincere. 1t had in Congress what was
known as the Randall wing of the Demo
cratic party. That was the power that
rolled legislation. Randall was a pro-
on Democrat, and coupled with his
to adopt his views. James Buchanan,
the last Democratic President, prior to
Cleveland, who was nominated as a com
promise between divided factions, in a
message to Congress caused by the finan-
cial straits OF his party, recommended in
creased duties on imports, thus conceding
the failure from a treasury standpoint
and the standpoint of our industries of
the Walker tariff. The war caused a
termination of all free-trade theories.
1t then became a question of life or death
to the nation. Money was needed to sus-
tain the government in its great
est emergency, and the Morrill, tar
III was adopted. The war ended, the ma
tional debt largely reduced, internal reve-
nue. taxes largely abolished, the Demo

TO PHOTOGRAPH METEOPs.
An Elaborate Apparatus in the Yale
Observatory.

A new astronomical instrument termed
a sextuple Photographic telescope has Just
been completed in Cleveland, and is
about to be shipped to New Haven. Conn,
Vt will be placed in one of the Yale OBJ
s%ervatories, and though intended for GEN
eral astronomical photography will begin
its picture taking with the appearance of
the August meteoric displays.
In certain respects it stands uniaue
among Photographic telescopes, and may
reyolutionize the present system. 1t has
six cameras, instead of one, and together
they cover a field in the sky equal TO that
which would be occupied by 24OO full
moons.
By its use IN the meteors the astrono.
mers of Yale expect to develop new facts
relating 10 their height. They will place
single telescopes at distances of two miles
from the sextuple instrument, and Inv
means of electrical connections will pbo.

then be compared M calculations will
be made with a view to establishing tba
height of mcteors.

cratic party again comes to the front with
the exploded Walker theories and enters
upon a new crusade in the line of free
trade. But in this it has never been
united and never sincere. In 1892, as
We have shown, it was Numerically op-
posed in it's platform to the ideas previ.
ously expressed by Grover Cleveland and
embodied in a plank presented to and vot.
ed down at the Chicago convention. This
was a trick to defeat the nomination of
President Cleveland.
1.-The outcome of this is now found in
Congress. There are free traders there
and there are protectionists there. There
are radicals and there are conservatives.
There are time-servers and there are
cuckoos. But of the whole lot President
Cleveland stands forth as the most con-
sistent."

Republican Platforms and the Silver
Question.

The New York Press, in commencing
the platforms of the Republicans of Iowa,
Illinois and Wisconsin on the silver ques-
ton. says: 1T shows that the Repub-
lican party recognizes the necessity of the
use of both of the precious metals as the
basis of a sound and adequate monetary
system. 1t demonstrates that the Re
publican party is the champion of all
American industries, whether those in
dustries be located north or south, east
or west, and whether they are agricul-
tural, manufacturing or mining. 1t shows
that Republicanism is the implacable foe
of British gold monometallism as well as
British free trade. The cause of bimetal-
lism is the cause of the people, and that
cause will triumph with the complete re-
turn of the Republican party to power at

craftsmanship: Villas said the Presi-
dent, go to the capitol and make a speech
setting forth that / am lofty, majestic,
tender, cautious and wonderful; that my
mind is continually Illuminated and d.
rected by the pure white light OF an up
right purpose, and that, in short, L am
the greatest man now living in the world.
1t has been done before, but for some
utterly incomprehensible reason 1t has
apparently got to be done over again.
1t would doubtless be a pleasure and adj
vantage to you to assert that you are my
personal friend, and under the circum-
stances / have no objection So the sena-
tor from Wisconsin rose in his place and
said all this, and a good deal more which
it is unnecessary to repeat. The point to
which we wish to draw public attention
is this, that, though he acknowledged
that he was proud Of the inestimable hon
or, privilege and blessing of association
with the President on these terms, he de-
clined to vaunt the friendship which he
was permitted to describe, thereby set
ting an example of self-abnegation as
rare as it is precious. Running over hastily
the list of gentlemen who are known to
have sat up nights with Grover Cleveland,
we do not hit upon a single one who has
made such a sacrifice, at once delicate n
heroic, as Mr.. Villas. We cannot say that
the craftsmanship of Mr.. Villas is Of the
sort that nations thrive on, but his mod

Cleveland and the Trusts.

tteNeiaha anu the lrusts.
In speaking of the two powerful trusts
which are working under the protection
of President Cleveland, the Chicago
News, Independent Democrat. prints the
following from it's Washington CORE
spondent:
1.-The President has assumed a very
singular attitude toward the bill, and his
friends among the tariff reformers in
Congress are wondering what it means.
He seems anxious that the sugar sched-
ule should not be interfered with, n
that coal should go on the free list. This
bears out the theory that has prevailed
so long that the sugar schedule as pre-
pared by Mr.. Carlisle was the result of a
bargain made with the trust during the
last campaign, and that the President will
not stand in the way of its fulhllment.
His anxiety to see coal on the free list
is not unnatural, for Secretary Lamont,
ex- Secretary Whitney and his intimate
friend, John Il. Russell, Democratic can
didate for governor of Massachusetts, last
Scotia mines, which would be able to
dump all their produce into New England
at profitable prices were it not for the
duty on coal
''Those mines were purchased by Whit
ney, Lamont & Co. through Charles Il.
Bell, a banker of this city, who, by the
way, is a brother of the inventor of the
telephone, and, like him, a son-in-law of
Gardiner G. Hubbard. Bell got them an
option on the property until after the
elections in November, 1892, and when
it was found that the House had seventy
or eighty Democratic majority they re
garded it as absolutely certain that coal
would go on the free list, and bought the
mines.
"Mr. Russell is here looking after the
interests of the company before the con-
ference committee, and goes over to the
white house to smoke a cigar with the
President nearly every evening. But he
has very little hope Of winning his fight,
for Mr.. German, Mr.. Gibson and Mr..
Camden W coal fields in West Virginia,
Mr.. Brice has large mines in Tennessee,
and a number of other senators are equal
ly well interested. They nave votes and
he has not.
