1.-The student Of our times has been
urged 10 believe that the responsibility
for the present condition of the country
should not be laid at the door of the
party now i'm power. He is advised
that these depressions in business, by

that the responsibility therefor cannot
be located. But it is remarkable CO.

THE political campaign in Pennsyl-
vania was formally opened on Wednes-
day last by our candidate for Governor
General Hastings-in a strong and
weEl-considered speech delivered before
the Convention of Republican clubs in
session at Harrisburg. The ISSUES in
the coming contest are 80 clearly defin-
cd and 80 well understood that nothing
startling or new can be uttered regard
ing them, bat General Hastings mar
shalled and eXpounded them in & most
satisfactory and telling manner. The
overshadowing issue l. the tariff, and
the changed condition of the country
and the prostration of business of every
kind since 1892 was forcibly and strong
lv put: and the closed industrial estab-
lishnents, the reduction of wages and
the lack of employment were called
upon to attest the ruin and want and
desolated homes that have followed
Democratic success, and the attempt
of this Democratic National Admins
tralion to force its revenue policy into
operation.
We have room i'm this issue of the
HERALD for only the following extracts
from this admirable speech, which we
commend to the perusal and sober
thought of our many readers:

parel pronounced in hue and often wear

lessen the danger of being shot through

"Of the great army Of hunters that

object that rustles them may be a deer.

such costume? That is not enough to
be taken into account. Everything strik-
ing in color is more likely than not to
excite their curiosity and draw them
toward the hunter if he work with prop
er slowness and caution. Besides that
all tho antlered game trust almost
wholly to their senses Of hearing aud
smelling to warn them of the approach
of danger, and IL you can battle those
faculties you need have little fear of
their taking alarm from the sight of

Their Use Believed TO Have Originated In

In every capital Of Europe the mono
Gle is common enough. 1t attracts no
attention on the street. In row of men
at the theater considerable proportion
are sure to have it. Perhaps half the
officers in the German army wear Mono
cles They are to be seen in abundance
at any meeting of the French academy.
Even socialist deputies in France are
not ashamed to go among their constit-
uents wearing them. A session OF the
English house Of commons glitters with
solitary eyeglasses. The single eyeglass
is said to have originated among the
officers of the British army.
About the beginning Of the century
an order was issued that army officers
should not wear eyeglasses or speota-
cles It was supposed that they gave the
wearers an unmilitary appearance. The
order caused severe Inconvenience to
many short sighted officers. and one Of
them, belonging TO crack regiment,
invented tho single eyeglass. He
claimed that, being az eyoglass. its use
was no oontravention of the order which
prohibited spectacles and eyeglasses. IL
soon became very popular in tho army
and wns afterward adopted. On account
probably of this origin the single eye
glass is very generally worn in Europe
by army officers.
