His Cousin Euripides, Eel catch.

a plscatOrial romance of more than or
binary interest has been supplied by
CHARLES ID. Spohn of the Reading railroad s
passenger department. says the Philadel-
phla Record. He is an enthusiastic fish
erman, but prides himself on never afiict-
ing his friends with fish stories. and he
attributes the following to his cousin, Eu-
ripides Spohn, who lives in Reading. He
says:
Last Thursday finding the Tulpehoc-
ken creek fairly clear of ice, Rippy-that' s
my cousins pet name-Went fishing. The
first to sample his bait was a big eel. Now
the cells in that stream are of a peculiar
species, known as tandem cells. They are
so called because 1t is their singular habit
to follow the leader in single file Indian
Fashion. The eel booked by Euripides was
OF the tandem variety and he was heading
the procession. When Euripides jerked
his line the second eel true to his in
stinct and name, darted after the hooked
fish. and finding II being rapidly drawn
away from him, seized its tail with it's
mouth. Eel No. 3, also obeying the tan
dem instinct, made fast to the tail of No.
2 and so on until Euripides, pulling them
in hand over hand, found that he had an
endless, wriggling cable OF live cells. He
hauled in and coiled EN- on the bank of
the creek until his strength gave out Then
he cut the rope and ran for assistance.
The neighbors FASTENED to the scene with
their big farm wagons. They loaded the
'tandems' and found that the total weight
was 1856 pounds.

The trip of the Horsa from this port to
Liberia with 200 black emigrants ought
to be matter of especial interest to SEN
ator Morgan of Alabama. Recently be-
fore a colonization society the senator
conjured up grand picture of 5000, 600
blacks marching to the shores of the At
lantic to embark for the home of their
ancestors in sunny Africa, and 5000 600
Armenians sailing from the scenes of their
oppression in Asia to take the places in
America Of the millions OF blacks who had
moved out. When the 200 arrive at Mon
rovia in April, and have lived in the land
of their fathers for time, they may be
able to write letters to America that will
help along Senator Morgan's great scheme:
and then It may be that their letters will
be of a character TO have adverse effect
upon the realization of the senator's
dream.

Must stand for Protection.
From the Philadelphia Record Dem }

1t is alleged that Gov. Mckinley has
modified his tariff views, and will take
the first suitable opportunity TO declare the
extent of his backsliding. Unquestiona-
bly, there has been a decisive change in
priety Of ievying prohibitory duties under
the pretense Of collecting revenue. There
will be no effort TO fight that battle over
again either by re-enacting the Mckinley
tariff or by nominating Mr. Mckinley for
President, with Protection For the Sake
Of Protection" as a war cry. None the
less, Mr.. Mckinley must stand by his
guns. His strength lies altogether in his
unfiinching advocacy Of out-and-out up-
to-date protectionIsm. II he shall turn
tail on his record that will be the end OF
him.

Coy. Mckinley is coming to Savannah.
The Information is pleasing. He is prom
inent politician and a pleasant gentleman
Something like three years ago a
prominent politician and pleasant gen
tleman from the state of New
York-he is a senator now-came
down south on "a pleasure trip" just as
Gov. Mckinley has done. And, also just
like Gov. Mckinley now does, he regarded
himself as a possible president. He
included Savannah in his itinerary. and
was given an ovation here. The people
packed the theater to get a glimpse of
him and to hear him speak. And straight
way. thereafter they elected delegates to
the ma tionsl convention TO vote for an
other man. Senator Hnrs southern trip
should offer some valuable suggestions
TO Gov. Mckinley, one of which is that it
is not safe to write Georgia down as be-
ing in the vest pocket of the politician
who happens to be kindly treated by the
people of the state during a visit.

There is a prospect that in the near
future Alabama iron will be exported to
Europe. In recent letter to the Manu-
facturers' Record Mr.. j. Bowron, secre-
tary and treasurer of the Tennessee Coal,
Iron and Railroad Company, says, in
substance, that if it were not for the
fact that our exports exceed our i'm
ports, it would be possible to sell Ala
bama iron in England. What is meant
by this is that English ships frequently
come to this country in ballast for car
goes. Hence they can afford to carry
iron for almost nothing. Ships from this
country to England, however. always
have cargoes. Hence no iron can he
transported to England without paying
a pretty heavy freight rate English
owners control the great bulk of ocean
tonnage. and they manage, to as great
an extent as they can, to facilitate En-
glish exports and obstruct those of this
country.
There is one way in which low rates
of freight on iron can be obtained, and
the probability is that it will be tried
iron cotton laden ships. A ship can take
a pretty fair cargo of iron without les
SEEMING her capacity for cotton. A great
deal of rock phosphate is now being
shipped from this port in cotton laden
ships at very low freight rate. What
is being done in respect to phosphate can
be done in respect to pig iron. 1t is pos
sible. therefore. that is will not be long
before southern iron will be shipped to
Manchester.
Mr., Bowron, in speaking of the neutral
markets for iron, says: THE markets of
the Mediterranean and of the Baltic are
not so difficult for southern iron to reach
as those of England, and 1 am quite
hopeful that the rates which are now
under the consideration of the southern
railways to Mobile and Savannah for for
eign shipment will enable us actually to
begin exporting pig iron to Italian, Span
ish and Russian ports"
If we begin exporting pig iron there
will be a boom in iron making through
out the iron sections of the south. The
exporting of southern iron will mean
that the south is to become the seat
of the iron industry in this country.
Bradstreet's. in looking for a reason for
the recent advance in cotton prices. can
find nothing in the movement into sight
of the old crop at present to justify 1t.
1t is concluded, therefore. that the leading
fact responsible for the Improvement is
that spectators, and later the public
generally, have begun TO appreciate that
recent prices for cotton, as I'm many other
staples. have been very low, and that pop
ular appreciation of this fact must be

Columbus (CaD Enquirer-sun Dem.)

If Gov. Mckinley was observant on his
trip to Georgia he discovered that the
sentiment of the people of this state is
practically solid for tariff reform and
everlastingly. opposed to McKinleyism. We
apprehend that the governor was we'll
aware of this fact before he entered Geor-
gia. He was not searching for tariff con-
verts, and he knows very few votes of that
kind will be cast in this state in 1896
whoever may be nominated by The Repub-
lican party. What the governor was re-
ally after was the votes of the Georgia
republican delegates to the national con-
vention, and when he placed himself cheek
by jowl With Col. A. F.. Buck 1t indicated
that he knew what string 70 pull.
