Ii HuSG CHASa tn Chinese Ambas
sador has been travelling in the Unit
ed States the past ten DAYS. He
came to the United States from Rus
sia to which country he was sent on
government mission. His reception
in Philadelphia last week was the
cause of the turnout of the grestest
number of people since the time Of
the return of General Grant from his
t-ip around the world.
Last week one day. q. T. Rice,
green grocer, borrowed our rat trap
with which he hoped to clear the
rodents from hia premises. The
first night he captured nice fat rat
and smaller one. Thinking that
their presence in the trap would in
1uce others to enter, Zach kept the
two prisoners. The next night the
little one disappeared, whether down
the NAV of the bigger, one or not
Zach could not tell. Still he had the
big fat one. Yet hoping to catch
more the trap was literally baited
with cheese and meat. Monday
morning he had a trap full of little
rodents, the big fat one having given
birth to nine little rats. The whole
family was then killed.-New Port

The Second Democratic Ticket.

The Simon pure democrats held a
National Convention in Indianapolis
last week. Forty one states were
represented by 500 delegates. The
Convention nominated ex-senator
John NJ. Palmer of Illinois for Presi-
dent and Simon Boliyer-Buckner of
Kentucky for Vice President and de-
nounced the Chicago nomination Of
Bryan and its two-tailed ticket of
Watson and Sewall as spurious dom
ocracy.
The Bryan wing of the democracy
are spurious democrats according to
the Palmer wing of the party.
The platform adopted sounds like
old democratic doctrine.
1t declares for a revenue toriff that
is as near free trade as it can get.
It favors the with drawal of the
gresn-back currency.
Itfavors the gold standard.
It approves the administration of
President Cleveland.
It is out-spoken against the Bryan
platform plank that denounced Cleve-
land for sending troops to put down
the mob in Chicago.
1t sustains the Supreme Court in
the aid it gave to President Cleve-
lrnd against the ansrchism CT Chic.
ago.
This second democratic ticket has
a large following wherever the demo.
Gratis are not blinded by their lust for
Office. The democratic mass do not
at heart believe in the teachings of
Bryan, but their leaders are full Of
lust for Office and they hold the whip
over the mass of voters and keep
them in line. However this time the
teachings of Bryan have
such an insurrection among
the democrats that they will defeat
The spurious democratic wing by On
Overwhelming majority.

Imagine herd of horses aggre
eating 125, 900 for which no prscti-
cal use csn be found. Stockmen Of
the northwest are to-day considering
what disposition can be made of this
immense number of animals.
This great herd roams the prairies
of Montana, North Dakota, Washing
ton and Northern Idaho. They are
grazing upon grass that il required
for the sustenapce of cattle and sheep,
and are practically worthless for any
purpose. The cause of this serious
condition is due to the bicycle and to
street car systems operated by cleo
tr;city and by cable, the use of which
within the last few years has 60 large
ly done away with the employment
Of horsee. In some of the districts
named the horses are increasing SO
rapidly in numbers that they are act
ually crowdipg live stock, used for
supplying the meat markets of The
country, # ranges where they find
grass on which to subsist.
The men who own this vast lum-
Der of horses, ranging es they do, ov.
er such q vast e1panso of territory,
can devise no 1neans of relief, aud
and they are practically helpless.
Excellent horses, unbroken, can be
bought for from SIS to SIS e head,
but sven at this low figure no buyers
can be found, while the ho, ses, too
valuable to be destroyed, snd at the
same time to expensive te keep alive,
continue to multiply.

English Labor Needs Protec,io,

Tho working people of England find
that competition with countries employ
ing cheaper labor is too oppressive to bear
longer and are demanding. In the interest
of themselves and families, to be saved
from tho further degradation 1t will en-
tail. It is not American competition they
dread. It Is the competion Of France, Ger
many and Belgium, countries whose labor
IA even more poorly paid than the labor Of
England They have come to appreciate
ut last that nothing but tariffs which are
defensive IN their characters will save
them from utter ruin and dcstitution.-
