Mr.. Cleveland is reported as having
eaid recently that ''the Democratic party
can win this year IL it will declare unc-
quivocally for sound money" He thinks
that. in view OF the attitude of silver
Senators, the national Republican con-
vention at St Louis will compromise
with the silver element and that this
will furnish the Democratic party a lit
orally golden opportunity to take the
right side OF the question. The Repub-
licans have always counted on Demo-
cratic plumbers as an element OF Re
publican success. but this is the first
time an attempt has been made TO re-
verse the rule. The Republican conven-
ton should see that it does not succeed.
1t will make terrible mistake IL it at
tempts to straddle the silver question.

The advance of civilization shown by the
action of the South Dakota mob, described
in yesterdays dispatches, should be greet
ed with joy by good people who are kept
awake nights by anxiety over the degen-
crate condition of mankind. Time was and
not so long ago, when an Objectionable
citizen out in that wild and woolly region
was strung up to the nearest lamp-post
without benefit of clergy; or. If his offense
did not seem to warrant measures so Sc
we're, such sudden influences were brought
to bear upon him that he was glad to take
the straightest road out of town and stand
not upon the order of his going. In this
case the unpopular person was an editor
who was addicted to personalities. Natur-
ally enough, man mean enough to take
such advantage of his helpless fellow-citi-
zens as to print things about them which
they could not answer in print was not

do this. whereupon the gentlemanly fell

to represent the editor. rendered him the
sum they had agreed to pay for the news

the Office. moving the type and other
portable property int0 the street and burn
ing it. A committee was then appointed
to advise the editor to seek another abid-
ing place. If this isn't progress, what is it?
What could be more considerate and cour-
teous than this method of procedure? An
editor guilty of offensive personalities
might well thank his, stars at his easy
escape from e just fate, and feel that his
lines had fallen in pleasant places. Civili-
cation surely Is advancing.

eight years ago the mining industry in the
Transyaal was in about the same condition
as To development as in Mashonaland to-
per annum. Mines in Mashonaland, how
ever, are being much more rapidly devei-
oped than those of the Transvaal were in
the early days Moreover. reliable mining
experts have stated time and again that the
gold reefs of Mashonaland and Matabeleland
are on the whole, richer and more extensive
than those OF the Transyaal. and there is no
reason why these countries along with Man.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The immediate

Consul Ingle. at Bruins wick. reports 10 the

that he does not receive such inquiries, indi-
eating a doubt of the soundness OF the

ranies by the Prussian government certain
agents or other companies, in their zeal to
secure business. did not hesitate to picture
American companies in the blacklist colors.

Good Thing That Pushes Itself Along
In Beautiful Way.

A merchant Of Gowanda has invented
most remarkable apparatus for saving
stocks Of goods from fire. Instead OF
putting ont the IRE, the apparatus opens
the front of the store. and the counters.
cases and shelving roll out into the
street into their owners arms.
The shelving and counters in the store
are all portable and mounted ON rollers.
Attached to the rear end of the shelly
ing is cable which runs forward and
over a wheel below the floor in the front
Of the store. Tothis end Of the cable are
Suspended weights sufficiently heavy to
over balance the shelving, cases and
goods in them A brake device keeps
the weights from setting the machine
going. Attached 10 the lever Of the
brake is a combustible cord which
passes upward into the store and is car
ried along the walls and ceiling, where
it will be quickly ignited in case Of fire.
The sunderiDg of the cord looses the
brake, the weights bear on the cable,
and the shelves start heller SHELTER for
the front of the building. At the same
time the windows and doors open auto
matically outward, and the entire con-
tents of the store are dumped on the
sidewalk in jiffy. To Illustrate the de-
signs of fire thieves the shelves fold up
when they reach the street, presenting
only blank wood aud glass.
Those who have seen the apparatus
tested say that it works admirably. One
night mouse found something palata-
BILE in the brake cord and gnawed it in
two, wherenpon, much to its consterna-
ton the furniture, boxes and shelves,
with one accord, began a swift move
ment forward, and an automatic alarm
attached to the machine began to rouse
all the Inhabitants of Gowanda, the
hour being 2 O'Clock in the morning.
The ingenious inventor was one Of the
first ON the scene, and his disgust at be-
ing routed out by false alarm was
greatly mitigated by the spectacle OF
the smooth working of his machine. 1t

self along with no help.-Buffalo Cou-

Presently she came ina small, young

were anklets of uncut emeralds and dia-

On her arms were a large number of

fine pearls, and, suspended by studs of
large diamonds in the outer rims Of the
ears, she wore across the hair at tho

rubies, prettily set as kind of collar

places to allow rings and jewels to be

did not speak English, and after we
had admired her jewelry conversation
