4 PECULIAR BREED OF CATS.
Fhey Are Wild, Are Minus Tails and Have
Very Long Hind Legs.


In the swamps and woods that cover
the southern end Of Barnegat beach in
South Jersey a breed Of cats peculiar to
Jersey alone exist. They are not only
tailless, but their hind legs are longer
than their front ones, giving them the
appearance of rabbits. This curious spe-
cies Of felines has been resident ON the
island for many years. Over half CEN
tury ago au English bark came ashore
on Barnegat's shoals, and among the
things that managed to reach the beach
were number of Manx cats. These ami
mails are found only On the isle of Man
and are without tails. Fer little while
the cats remained around the Barnegat
lighthouse. but the keeper, becoming
tired of their pilferings and inharmoni-
Gus concerts at night, drove them away.
They took to the dense woods and
thickets, where they soon multiplied
very rapidly. During the winter months.
the swamps are visited by thousands of
birds in search of food, and the tailless
cats manage to live very nicely.
Efforts to tame the felines have met
with some success, and the cats make
nice pets. During several winters, when
the intense cold kept the birds away
from Barnegat, the cats depended On the
surf CLANS for food. The CLANS were
thrown on shore by the waves, and be-
coming frozen opened their shells, MAX
ing it an easy matter for the animals to
secure the contents.
Years of life in the woods have made
them both wild and savage, and they
could make formidable stand against
any one who hunts them These strange
animals have become expert as fishers,
and often in warm weather, when the
surf is full of fish, go into the shallow
water and as q wave recedes, leaving
the fish foundering in few inches of
water, fasten their claws in it's sides and
drag it beyond the reach of the incom-
ing waves. The animals present curl
GUS appearance, as they jump about
much as a kangaroo does. They are ex-
pert climbers and have been known to
raise their young in hollow trees far
above the ground.
Several years ago strange disease at
tackled and killed many of the animals,
but they soon increased to their former
numbers again. In color the tailless cats
resemble our domestic tiger feline, but in
size they are much smaller Their fur is
much coarser and longer than that found
on our own tabby cats. Newark Jour-

DISTRICT POLITICS.


The following interview of William E.
Lee, in the Minneapolis Tribune. is .
succient and accurate statement of ex-
listing conditions and prospects of the
political selection III the sixth congress
iopai district, by one who understands it
thoroughly.
Hon.W. E. Lee OF Long Prairie, ex-
speaker of the house of representatives,
was seen by the Tribune at the Merchants
hotel in st. Paul last evening.
In regard to the work accomplished
by the pine land Investigating committee
MIR. Lee said that It is giving universal
satisfaction throughout the northern
part of the state, and added that lie
thought a numberIof prominent people
wouls be implicated before the work is
completed.
Asked If he would be candidate for
the congressional nomination, MIR. Lee
said: 81 have been kept very busy late
ly, and do not see how / could spare the
time to enter the campaign, even II l
was given assurance that could have
the nomination. In addition to the two
banks which have charge of have been
appointed administrator of the estate of
my brother, who died about three weeks
ago, leaving quite large business which
requires great deal of personal atten.
ton.
Then there is a feeling in the district
that Duluth should name the candidate.
and the leaders in the western part of
the district are disposed to step aside in
favor of the city -ot the unsalted sea
They are not wise tactics at Duluth
however, as they hive already three an
nounced candidates for state offices and
they can scarcely hope to have the con-
gresham and share ct these Offices as
well. The Sixth district is we'll repre-
sented in the race for the nominations
t"r state Offices. Bob Dunn is strongly
in the lead for the nomination for state
auditor and Monroe Nichols, Of Duluth,
is also after the plu m; for treasurer there
are Westerman, of st. Cloud, and A. d.
Thompson, of Dull nth, and for clerk OF
the supreme court La Vague, also of Du-
luth. II they insist upon having noma-
inee on the state ticket as we'll as the
congressman it may precipitatea disast-
rous fight. The Duluth candidates for
the congress nomin htion are both strong
men. o. D. Kinney and Gen. Towne.
don't think any Republican who is for
tunate enough to SECURE the nomination
will experience a by trouble in being
elected"

SENATOR RASHBuRN.

(
Senator Washburn returned to Mime
apolis on Saturday last from Washing
ton, on matters of private business, and,
as is alleged. to investigate in person a
number ,f rumors afoat as to organized
or semi-organized opposition to his re-
turn to the senate for another term.
Senatorial elections in the state OF Min
nesota have become stencil in the nos
trils of the people, and it is high time
that the seal of condemnation be placed
upon the methods pursued by aspirants
States Senate. The people of the state
are satisfied with Mr.. Washburn's re.
cord as whole. He has served his
state acceptably. That he may not at
all times have acted in accordance with
the desires OF all his friends may be con-
eeded without any reflection upon quail
hcations or claims to his own successor
ship, He is active, vigorous and honest
qualifications which entitle him to
favorable consideration. Unfortunately
merit is not the standard erected by the
political coterie who assume, or at least
attempt, to conduct the practical politics
Of Minnesota. Senator Davis, whose
eminent fitness ter the position he so
honorably fills, narrowly escaped defeat
in face of the fact that the people had
overwhelmingly declared as plainly as
any desire can be recorded, that they
wanted his services for second term.
Money, deceit and intrigue attempted to
thwart the will OF the people, and well
nigh succeeded
Let there be no repetition in the next
legislature. Senator Washhurn has had
one term. and there is nothing in hrs
record which can legitinately be urged
against second one.
Wires have been STRUNG and pipe laid
thus early to compass his defeat. An
appeal will be made to the several dis
tricts to elect a man outside the two
cities-but it is an appeal to preudics.
If the cities, not because they are cities.
but because they are fortnuatein having
acceptable candidates, present man
every way worthy, the demagogic cry
of rural representation has no force.
When this cry is raised, as in this case,
not by the country voters, but bv de-
signing POLITICIANS of the city, it will
bear close scrutiny. The Trojans found
the Greeks even when bringing gifts
the country may well dlstrust the cities
under like conditions

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

WHAT'S bred in the bone will out in the
flesh. The Globe of st. PanI is showing
unmistakeable evidences OF an eqitor-in-
chief who was not always accustomed to
blush devotion to democracy. In an
editorial OF Saturday it says:
1t cannot be denied that the people at
large are dissatisfied with the democra
tic party. They have shown their dis
pleasure emphaticatly in the recent
elections. There is no abatement in de-
votIon to democratic principles; it is
because of their abandonment by pre-
tended democrats that the people are
displeased. The dilatoriness in dispos-
Ing of the silver question produced gem
eral distress and disgust. The paltering
and time-servidg policy pursued as to
Hawaii intensified the feeling, and the
lodg and needless delay, the divided pur-
poses and counsels OF the party OH the
tarig question, promise to complete the
ruin.
The Globe finds in the New York Sun
New York World and other planetory
illuminators of public opinion more con-
genial company than with the party
cuck DOS.

THE Pelican Rapids Sentinel suggests
that Gov. Nelson can be elected either
governor or United States senator, land
it is only for him to say which he
wants." In that case he ought to be
willing to say so. The people have a
right to know whether or not he is a
candidate for senator, as they might
want to have something to say about
the man who is to be governor. Mr..
Nelson is gentleman of ability, has
made good governor, and would make
a crcditable senator. No citizens III
Minnesota has better right to aspire
