Tidal Wave Foreshadowed

The political atmosphere has cleared.
A tidal wave which will reach higher
mark than has been touched by any
political flood in many years is fore
shadowed. That combination of lun-
ncy and rascality which is called silver
ism will be swept out of sight never
to return to the gaze Of men. The re-
publican system of government, which
has recently been discredited by the
orgies of the fanatics and sans-culottes
who concocted the Chicago platform
and ticket, has sloughed off the foul and
vile accretions of the body polite, and
has once more indicated it's reason for
existence. To-day in every country in
the world where newspapers circulate
and men read respect for the American
character and name will be increased.
To-day on every bourse In christendom
where such securities are dealt in Amer
ican stocks will rise.--St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

Too Much OF the Thing.

An English canon of note used to tell
a good story of himself. In his capacity
of magistrate he was once visiting tho
county Jail, and expatiated to a friend
who was with him on the virtues
of the treadmill. Warming with his
theme he declared that he often wished
he had one at home to give him the gen.
tie exercise he required, but was too
lazy to take, except under compulsion;
and, to remove his friends skepticism,
he asked the warden to give him turn.
Round went the wheel, the canon de-
claring that the movement was delight
full; but after two minutes of 1t he had
quite enough, and called upon the officer
to stop the mill. To his horror the Of
ficer answered: "very sorry, sir; I
can't. It's timed to go is minutes, ana
won't stop before. london TitBitA :

Which Kind of Protection?

The popocrats who were formerly
democrats have laid great stress upon
the contention that protection is pater-
nalism-that it protects one class Of
producers,att the expense of consumers"
Now come the popocrats with demand
that the government increase arbitrar-
lily the value Of an ounce of silver from
60 cents to S1.29, without any profit to
the state, for the exclusive protection Of
the special industry of silver produce
ton. The Mckinley idea of the tariff
is protection for all classes of labor in
this country, with a schedule of import
duties that will make up differences be-
tween the European or Asiatic wage
standards and the wage standard of the
United States, and that will enlarge
through reciprocity the market for the
products of American farms. Which
kind of protection do you prefer, the
Mckinley kind of protection for the
millions of American laborers and pro-
ducers C. the Bryan kind of protection
for the few owners of silver bullion?-

SINCE MOLLY WENT.

How bleak and bare the blue hills seem
Since Molly went away!
The dark has lost the rosy dream,
The sunshine left the day.
The birds sing not as sweet as when
They saw the roses stir
And looked and listened In the glen
For the dear steps of her.
II seems that for the bird, the brook.
There's never any May,
And that when Molly went she took
The world and all away!
I sit here when the days begun
And feel the lonely place,
The sunfiowers following the sun
And dreaming of her face.
And wonder why in shrub and tree
The sweetest birds are dumb;
While all the roses look at me
And whisper: will she conner"

That any heart would break
But how this world of God can change
For one dear woman's sake!

AN UNKIND FAREWELL.
Party Descending from Mount Hood
Showered with Rocks.


1t was only through mere chance-a
miracle, some might say-that the
party of mountain climbers that made
the ascent of Mount Hood the other day
was not buried beneath an avalanche or
rock and ashes. There was an eruption
as the party, consisting of Fl persons,
were making the descent of the noun
tain. The earth trembled and smoke
and steam were seen issuing from the
towering cliff Directly above them. Be-
fore there was time for flight shower
of powders came tearing down the
mountain side directly toward the
mountaineers. One of the largest stones
struck Miss Fax Killingsworth and
knocked her into crevasse ten feet
deep. She was badly injured. The
rest of the party escaped with few
scratches and ruises.

pr. Doerpfeld Entertained.

Dr. Doerpfeld, who gave the fast lec- ture in his course in Osborn hall last evening, was afterwards informally en- tertained by the Graduates club at their club house on Chapel street. It was the first occasion of the kind this year and q large number of members were present to do honor to the charm ing gentleman and eminent scholar who was the guest of the evening. Dr. Doerpfeld has made host of friends during his sojourn In this city. His lectures have been we'll received, de- spite the fact that they were delivered in foreign tongue And in social in tercourse he has shown himself to be of a singularly modest nature and unaf- fected manner, so that the pain of parting last night was very sincere. The affair had the easy informality of a good German ''kneip." The members assembled in the crypt, and being we'll provided with steins of beer and pipes sang old songs of Yale with zest and spirit Short speeches were made by Dr. Doerpfeld and by MT. Charles Dud- ley Warner Of Hartford, and healths were drunk and farewells taken.
 Dr. Doerpfeld goes to Cambridge this morning.

 Columbus. Ga, Oct. 14.--This after- noon J. A. White, a shoemaker. and Henry White, his son, foully murdered two policemen on Thirteenth street and fatally wounded another on Sixteenth street shortly afterwards.

In answer to his knock on the door Roberts received al bullet from Whites Winchester through the stomach. No hope is en- tertained for his recovery. Five hum dred armed men soon surrounded the murderers' house and charged on it. firing hundreds of bullets into the win- dows and doors. When the fusilada ceased officers forced the doors, where- upon White began firing.

Latter's Line Like Wet Paper Before the Crimson,s Assaults.

Boston, Oct. 14,-Harvard defeated the Wesleyan college eleven to-day by the score of 2S to O. The work of the home eleven was an improvement over its former showing. At times the team showed spurts of good football play ing. Captain Wrightington was ab- sent, having gone to Princeton with Coach Waters to watch the Princeton Carlisle game.
 In the first half Harvard played a line breaking game, although she had the wind at her back The Wesleyan line was like wet paper before the on- slaught of Harvard. In the second half Harvard went in with a changed line The new combination played fast CT ball than did its predecessor. Es- pecially encouraging to Harvard men was the improved work of the ends, Lewis and Moulton. The half-backs and the tackles played in much better form than they have before. For Wes- leyan, Wilson, Raymond, Moves and the twin Youngs on the end did the best work.

D He denied the allegations of crime, se- crecy, bribery etc, that have been made against the act of 1873, demone- tization of silver, and reviewed the cir cumstances of it's passage, especially his own part in it. He also dwelt upon the work of the silver commission, of which he was member in 1876, and read extracts from the majority and minority report, showing his own po- sition and those of Messrs. Jones' Bland and others.
 The paper was replied to by Hon, Robert Treat Paine who said that the act of 1873 was perhaps not crime but a blunder. President Capen of Tufts, Professor Baldwin of Boston university and President Walker of M I. T. were the other speakers.

BOSTON'S CHINESE HIGHBLNDERS
An Alleged Plot to Kill a Convert Who
 "Peached' on Gamblers.


 Boston, Oct. 1.-The gamblers in that part of Harrison avenue called China town" were raided by the po- lice last Saturday night and Sunday. Somebody started a story to the effect that the information needed for the making of a successful descent was furnished by a Chinese who had em- braced Christianity; whereupon the supposed informant was promptly as- saulted by a gambler at present un- known. This was followed by the startling rumor that the "highbind- ers," dangerous secret society, had determined to kill the man who told the police about the gambling; his body to be quartered and thus easily shipped out of town.
 Chief Inspector Watts, who had heard what was going on, quietly sum- moned to his office some of the high binders" and some of the so-called Christian students. One party was put on one side of the room the other on the opposite side. Then Chief Watt solemnly told the "highbinders' that one of their number had turned trait or and exposed the whole plot They were warned not to presume to trifie with the law and the students were as- sured of protection.
