THE MEXICAN BEEF BUGABoo.

Some Republican papers near at
home and afar off have been trying to
make a great deal out of very small
matter which is not surprising neither
is it uncommon with that class
of journals. During the agitation over
the rise in the price of beef. the extra
regulations in reference to the impor-
tation of cattle from Mexico were re-
moved by the administration, in order
to relieve the market somewhat, as it
was alleged that the scarcity of home
raised beef cattle was the cause of
the advance in the retail price of meat.
The cry was raised at once that the
design was to ruin the trade, and the
country was startled with the alarm
of food of Mexican cattle, just as
the fear was aroused short time ago
that there would be a flood" of cheap
goods from abroad, as the consequence
of the Wilson tariff reform measure.
The trouble seems to have been in
the alleged brains of those who raised
the alarm. The Mexican sort of stock
is not in great demand in the markets
of the United States. The animals
brought over the line have to be kept
a considerable time before they are
permitted to be slaughtered, and-what
is not generally understood or taken
into account-there is still a duty of
20 per cent. upon them.
One by one even the roses fade. and
one by one the fiowery fallacies of
the Republican alarmists perish. The
beef industry is not ruined by Next
can cattle and one more Republican
bugaboo is knocked on the head by
the pole-ax of truth. Next.

COMPARISON OF CONDITIONS.

By their split over Buchanan's pol
icy the Democrats precipitated I'M
looked-for woes and retired them
selves from power for twenty-four
years. They certainly cannot expect
happy results from split now over
the coinage policy of the only Presi-
dent they have been able to elect in
the thirty-four years since Buchanan's
time.
The above is from the New York
World and is sample of the usual
hippant and trifiing argument in
dulged in by the eastern press of both
parties in all matters touching the
gold cult. 1t shows not so much con-
Germ for the future well-being of the
Democratic party. as it does for the
complete subordination to the policy
of the monometallists.
The World should be reminded that
the split in the Democratic party
which occurred during the Pierce and
Buchanan administrations was the re-
suit of similar condition-the at
tempt of the Southern oligarchy to
completely submerge the Democratic
policy under the single dominant idea
of the perpetuation of slavery and its
indefinite extension to the Pacific as
expressed in the repeal of the Mis-
souri, compromise.
The World should be reminded, also,
that the same causes which led to
the split in the Democratic party,
destroyed the traditional opponent,
the Wing party altogether. In short

DEMOCRACY FOR SILVER,

Both the great political organizations
are divided upon the currency question,
but they are divided with difference An
overwhelming majority of the Republican
party have not only opinions, but unalter-
ably fixed convictions of the necessity of
maintaining its traditional policy in de-
tense of an honest. safe currency; in the
Democratic party the majority is upon
the other side of the question especially
in the West and in those states in which
the Democracy are numerically the
strongest. In the middle and eastern
states the Republicans are virtually solid
for sound, safe money, and generally in
telligent Democrats sympathize with
them.
1t is evident under the circumstances
that the very best that can be expected
OF the Democratic national convention of
next year is a straddling currency plat
form and a compromise candidate to
stand upon it, and it is possible, even
probable, that both platform and candi-
date will not resent free and unlimited
coinage at the ratio of Is to l = > Such
being the case, it Is clear as the sun
at MONDAY that the Republican party's
platform and candidate must be of the
most radical character; that both shall
stand for an honest, stable currency
There are comparatively few Republicans
who are not advocates of sound safe
money; there are comparatively many
Democrats who will contend for a. de-
based. inflated silver currency.-Philadel-
phia Ledger.

Priestess of Isis 1t is a translation
from the Russian work of Soboyloff,
which handles Blavatsky in trench
ant style. The Boston Literary World
refers to it in these terms:
1.-The aim of this book, which gives
a great deal of information about her
and her companions. both carnal and
astral, seems to be to clear the skirts
Of the Society of Psychical Research
from participation with her in her
vagaries, though the book also gives
some explanation of the remarkable
success of her impostures. The Rus
sian author also gives vivid deScrip-
tions of the mingled qualities of her
nature, her subtle craft and reckless
audacity, her intellectual vigor and
elastic vitality, her genuine bonhomie,
affectionateness, and (on occasion)
persuasive pathos. Probably none but
a Russian could have done this so
well. In an appendix the Russian bi-
ographer shows how Nine. BlavatSky'S
books were made up of a hodgepodge
of wholesale plagiarism, nearly all
her statements and assertions being
taken almost at random from modern
books on Buddhism and various allied
subjects-the whole making a morass
of chronology and iinguistics.
There are many people to whom the
mysticism and fanciful theories of
theosophy have a peculiar fascination,
but those notions are not compatible
with the advanced knowledge, scien-
tific data and sound theologic princi-
pies of the latter part of the nine
teenth century. And the exploration
of these regions of Thibet where the
Mahatmas are alleged to congregate,
will dissipate the myth with which
impostors have deceived the unwise.
Theosophy will have some influence
for while as a fad, but will not
stand the clear light of fact and the
developments of modern travel.

NO THIRD TERM.

We do not take much stock in the
Cleveland third term movement. It is
very clear that the Democratic party
have no further use for the gentleman
as me head Of the party. Aside from
the traditional hostility of the Democ-
racy to a third term policy, Grover
Cleveland has rendered himself in
eligible for reelection by Democrats
to the presidency by his opposition to
free silver coinage and his virtual es-
pousaI of the cause of gold monomet-
allism.
The majority of the Democratic
party are for the restoration of silver
10 the full money status it occupied
previous to 1873. That is so evident a
fact that Republican goldite organs
are pointing to it in triumph, to show
that the Democracy oppose Sound
money" That being so, there is no
probability of the denomination OF
Cleveland by the Democratic party.
II has BEEN suggested that Cleveland
would be a good compromise candidate
for the Republican and Democratic
opponents of free silver. But it is
hardly probable that Republicans
would choose Cleveland, with his
known strong opinions against protec-
tion and his general Democratic pro-
cfivides apart from the silver question.
There are plenty of the same kind Of
''5imetallists'' as Cleveland is in the
Republican party and who are repre-
sentatives OF its principles in all re-
tpects.
Who, then, would put Cleveland for
ward for denomination? He is fit for
neither the Democratic nor the Re-
publican party, and the Populists
would not choose him as he would not
choose them We do not think he
stands the ghost of a chance for the
presidency again.
The next President of the United
States must be silver man and will
be, if the Democratic party repudiates
the goldite faction and declares une-
quivocally for real bimetallism. In the
language of an exchange, I'VE want an
American dollar for American people;
coined of gold or silver, as either metal
is brought to the mint; received and
paid out of the treasury without dis
elimination against either metal; cur
rent everywhere in the United States
on equal terms; good for the capitalist
and the day laborer, and which re-
ceives its patent of value from the su-
preme authority Of the United States
and not by the condescending permits
sion of Great Britain. All that is need
ed TO get it is a little more American
spirit" That spirit if shown by the
Democratic party in the next cam
paign will win the day for it and sill
ve1.
The cry that free silver will split the
party does not count. The party is
divided now on that question 1t will
be killed IL it is turned over to the
goidites. Cleveland's letters have set
tied the question of his denomination
for they are goldite and monometallic
no matter how much he may claim to
be a bimetallist. Let those who will
follow him to defeat. The great body
of the Democracy must go for silver
and victory.

African Natives Take Advantage of His
Industry In a Heartless Manner.

African Natives Take Advantage of His
Industry In a Heartless Manner.
In Africa there exists a certain mem
Der of the crab genus commonly known
as the great tree crab. This peculiar
shellfish has an offensive trick OF
crawling up the cocoanut trees, biting
off the cocoanuts and then creeping
down again backward.
The theory is that the nuts are shat
tered by the fall, and the great tree crab
is thus enabled to enjoy hearty meal.
Now. the natives who inhabit regions
infested by this i'll conditioned crab are
well aware that the lower portion of the
crabs anatomy is soft and sensitive, and
thew believe. that the ''bivalye' was
thus constructed in order that he might
know when he had reached the ground,
and when, consequently, he might with
safety release his grasp of the trunk.
So what they do in order to stop his
tlepredations, which often ruin the CO.
coanut crops, is this: While the crab is
engaged in nipping off the cocoanuts
they climb half way up the trees and
there drive row of long nails right
around the tree, allowing an inch or so
of the nails to project.
The crab has no knowledge of disn-
ter, nor yet the fitness of things. As he
descends the sensitive part of his body
suddenly touches the nails. Thinking ne
has reached the ground, he naturally
lets 60. Instantly he falls backward and
cracks his own shell ON the ground. -
