IT'S real funny; that sea serpent that
has been seen in Long Island Sound
and off the coast Of New England by
dozens of thoroughly reliable cit.
zens.' Time was when sailors who
came into port bringing with them
marvellous tales of monster snakes were
credited with INDUCING in that bit Of
marine technicality styled Splicing
the main brace OF late years it has
come to be no joke for a sea-ctptain to
speak of having seen sea serpent and
there have been instances where the
crew of a ship have been put on oath
by the captain not to speak of having
seen ,ome strange denizen of the ocean
that they actually had seen and which
they were morally certain was his
famed serpentship. This time the SER
pent has been seen by the unprecedented
optics of party of Christian Endeavor
delegates who described the monster
in detail. There have been cases known
when eXcursionists saw strang things,
snakes, rats and curiously constructed
bugs for which scientists have no
name There have been well-authen-
ticated instances where Il whole eXcur-
sion party, generally fishermen, walked
up in the Silly night and found their
boots full of snakes. There have been
other instances where red, blue and
pink dogs rushed wildly around an ex-
cursion camp at night seeking whom
they might devour, and there have
been after-results that called for liberal
doses of the Kelley cure. But this af-
fair is different. A party of teto,alers
see reptile that scientists and seamen
have been warning about for years. 1t
was the real old gentleman, possibly
lady, of the sea. 1t was the regular
conventional sea serpent length and
had the "wide mouth" "horse-like
mane,p "stuck out its tongue and
Missed horribly There is but one de-
tail lacking. The Endeavorers, instead
of reporting the matter to people of the
land, should have kept absolutely quiet
regarding the inexperienced and only
have told it to the marines.n

THE New LIBERTY" which, a Mr..
c. c. Bonney informs the Pan-Ameri-
can Congress Of religion and education,
must in.till not only federation for but
admiration Of the good points Of those
who disagree with u, was finely illus
trated the other day in a speech by
Mn. Charles Henrottin, who truly
said that there i, no well-read and
thoughtful woman whose heart does
not thrill when God Save the queen"
is played, or when the name of Mrs.
Cleveland i, mentioned. Each i a
womanly woman. one Is a titular
head Of a State, Church and an order

nothing from the honor in which each

IT Is barely possible that Spain has
been putting on a big bluff in the mat
ter Of Ambassador Eustis's alleged free
dom of speech. While the ambassador
has denied the interview as accurate,
he is a plain-spoken man and it is
quite likely that he said some things
that he would not have said had he
known that he was talking for publ
cation. But Spain would like nothing
better than well developed grievance
against this country just at this time;
and a pretended grievance is better
than none. She is painfully conscious
OF the fact that she owes citizen of the
United Safes, and has been owing him
for seveal years a round 81 100000 with
interest up to date, the same being the
much talked of Mora claim, which She
has several times acknowledged to be
a Just one but has never vet paid it.
II now that claim is being so much
talked of, Spain could get up enough
grievance to offset even part of it, the
stingy Dons would be delighted with
saving their dollars even at the eX-
pense of loss of national dignity.

WHILST the railroads are troubled
with tramps, black and white, it is NO
ticeable that they are an entirely diff
ferent class Of men from those noticed
on the roads some time ago. AT one
time men out Of employment were
found upon the freight trains. Now
the class of men seen are half.grown
boys and men who were never known
to work. Crowds are still found at the
different railroad functions boarding
trains for all parts of the United
States.

IT is remarkable how certain Jour
mails and prominent citizens of our
State seize upon the name of President
Cleveland in the hopes OF making a
popular fight. These men like to APP
peal to the gallery; they are like the
demagogues, always asking for the
plaudlts of the multitude. No honest
Democrat would refuse to give all
the credit due to our worthy President;
it is only the desperate fellows who
fall back on him for self-preservation.

Democratic principles and will look
after the interest of the entire party
and not be any mans man. or a tool

leader should be willing To give and
take in this contest, and an honest eff
fort should be made to select first
class candidate. and then let every
Democrat do his duty. This has always
been our position, and whilst We may
have our individual views a. to
the accessibility Of certain men,
We are prepared to give an hon
est support to the nominee Of
the convention. Let us hope that
wise counsel will prevail and that a

A Strange Creature Seen Near
West Falls.

Somebody has reported seeing a
strange object resembling the much
talked of sea serpent, near West Falls,
this county. 1t was as long as three
ordinary fence rails, had large coarse
scales and on top of the back huge
horns protruded. 1t was shave like
huge snake and its head was wide
and coarse. It's movements were like
those ola ordinary snake and the be.
holders blood was almost frozen at
sight of the monstroslty, As The per
sons veracity is undoubted and the
shock sustained by the terrible ordeal
was quite apparent, we accept Inc
story without the customary pinch o.
salt, at the same time wondering what
reason such au unnatural creature has
for remaining in such dry locality
1t is said an investigation will be made
the result of which we await with con-
siderable impotence.

The Trade Of a Year.

The New York World says: "The
fiscal year 1895, which ended on July
LIST, was bad one for export trade be-
cause of the enormous deficiency of the
corn crop and the consequent reduc-
ton of meat products. Nevertheless
the completed figures are encouraging
and satisfactory. In 1898, the panic
year, we imported S35, so. 1871 more
goods than we exported. In 1894, "A
year OF of forced settlement, we export.
ed 922l, 2J3, l4l more than we imported.
In lo95-the fiscal year is meant in
each case-our exports exceeded our
imports by SCI ,592, Goa very comfort
able balance of trade for a wear of
short crops. During last June we I'M
ported gold to the net amount of 81
963, 80, while during June, 1894, we
exported net SD, 376,S72. For the five
months ended with June last our gain
of gold was 1864, 666, against loss
during the same period of the preced-
ing year OF 95S,900,6l6. Our gold gain
in year has therefore been not less
than 75,0O0,000. With improved and
improving business, with confidence
completely restored and with an as
sured promise Of abundant crops-corn
Is estimated at more than double last
years production-the figures at the
end OF the present fiscal year will
pretty certainly record twelvemonth
Of almost uneXampled prosperity"
