high hills. A deep canal or ditch runs up
from the river directly under the walls OF
Nankln on the west, serving to strengthen
the approaches on that side. On the east

In ChOppy Seas.

An independent writer in the April
number of Forum presents an article
under the heading of "a Year Ago and
Now" that is merely an illustration of
the condition of National political af-
fairs at the present time, President
Cleveland 10 referred to az the only
President since Washington that went
into office with so clear a purpose-a
purpose that he had himself formu-
lated for the people-nor so free from
personal or factional or sectional obli-
cations, as Mr.. Cleveland. 1t was his
second term of Office. He was relieved
forever of the temptation, which no
President during his first term has
withstoOd, of shaping his conduct for
reelection. He had had experience
in the Office; aud, better yet, he had
had the benefit for four years, after his
own Presidential experience, of observ-
ing the mistakes of another President
This was but a year. If a national
election we're to be held tomorrow no
shrewd observer doubts that the Dem
Ocrats would be defeated in every
northern State and perhaps in more
than one southern State, The Demo-
cratic Senate is at war with the Demo
cratic President. The President is
weary and vexed. His party is divided.
Congress has passed a bill to "coin a
vaCuum"-a Democratic measure that
he had to veto. The one great duty of
the party a reduction Of the tariff has
indeed been done, in a fashion, by the
House; but what the House has done
is now in unspeakable WEAKNESS being

feeling very nearly akin to disgust is
everywhere expressed with the ad-
ministration and with Congress by tho
Democrats themselves.

George Maull's Strange Experience

George Maull, German % years of

experience few days ago which he
himself is unable to explain, and which
his friends would like to learn more
about. Maull has been employed by
a fishing firm at Collins Beach since
the season began and on Sunday after
noon at 4 o'clock he left in a sail boat,
saying that he was going to Odessa,
He failed to return Monday and as he
had not been seen at Odessa, it was
feared that he had met with an accident
aud been drowned. John L. Maull his
brother, living near Odessa instituted
a search for the missing man, but did
not find any trace of him.
On Tuesday morning, at o'clock,
while the search was still going on,
George Maull appeared before his
friends at Collins Beach, when Ques-
toned concerning his whereabouts
from the time he left the Beach Sun
day he told disconnected story of his
wanderings, and 1t is now generally
supposed that he was suffering from
some temporary mental trouble. At
present Mr.. Maull is engaged in his
former occupation at Collins Beach,
and his whereabouts from the time he
disappeared Sunday until Tuesday
morning are as great mystery to his
friends ever.-MiddIetOiVn NeW Era.

The House Committee on Banking
and Currency has agreed to report
favorably bill subjecting to State tax
alton national bank and United States
Treasury notes. This is more of the
nonsense with which the Democrats in
Congress appear to be so strongly
imbued, and is doubtless intended to
effect the failure of the party to carry
out its platform pledge of removing
the Federal tax upon the notes of the
State banks, This latter tax is main
tanned to prevent the corruption of the
currency by the emission of wild cat"
money. To subject to State tax the
notes of national banks and the United
State Treasury would simply make
these notes dearer to the people in ex-
change to the extent of the tax inn
posed. Why the cheap money advo-
