Charged With Bad Governing.

The Municipal Association opposes Nc
kisson on the ground that he has given the
city a bad administration and that his con-
tinuance in office will delnoralize the public
service. 1t has shown more sense than re-
form bodies often do. because 1t has not
tried to find an angel as its candidate In
stead, the Municipal Association indorsed
John ii. Farley, the democratic candidate,
VINO, so far from being angel, is an eX-
perienced and practical politician. The
campaign of the association has been ag-
gressive. 1t has been abetted by the repub
icans who do not care much for non-par-
tlsanship In municipal affairs, but who
wanted a chance to dispose of McKisson
by an open fight. This has been given
them. SO large an element of the party is
in revolt that any individual can come out
without having it charged against him that
ne is a boltcr. What is known as the East
End, the residence section Of the city which
has the largest number of wealthy and
well-to-do citizens, is united in opposition
to Mckisson. Euclid avenue is against
him.
The extent to which this class would car
ry their opposition was in doubt until one
night last week, when a business mems
mass meeting was advertised for down
town. 1t was wild, blizzard night with
the Lake Erie zephyrs whirling the blind
ing snow through the air and tearing the
sisnboards off the stores. Nevertheless the
nall was overcrowded and the influence of
the meeting has not died out Every one
is now satisfied that the republicans of the
East End mean business" in their opposi-
tfon to Mckisson. The latter's supporters
sneered at them as silk stockings but ad-
NIT that the silk stockings will wade
through the slush to the polls and vote
though they may get their feet wet. So
serious is the revolt that the McKissonites
have not tried to hold meetings in the enc
my's country. They recognize that their
strength must come from elsewhere

Expects West Side Vote.


The section of the city in which Mayor
MckLsson looks for his votes is in what is
known as the West Side. 1t is across the
yiaduct over the Cuyahoga river. and ia
where the mills and factories are located.
The residences on Euclid avenue are in the
midst of spacious grounds. A single tene-
m-nt on the West Side has more voters
than a whole block on Euclid avenue.
Mayor Mckisson is appealing for the
"Crkinsmehs votes. Some respectable
citizens oppose him. Tax dodgers" he
tells his hearers. You were paying their
taxes. L made EN- pay up. So they are
hghting me- Then he reads the assess
msht rolls with some effect. McKisson ad-
vocates the municipal ownership of street
railway and other franchises, but 1t is the
vague kind of advocacy that hurts no one
VINO has interests In existing franchises
he also poses as the victim of corpora ton
resentment because his admins tra ton has
stood for the rights of the people Some of
the corporations are against him. but the
largest street railway company Is support
ing him. On both sides the corpora ton is-
sue is fraud and humbug, and the peo-
pie of Cleveland seem to realize it,
Mcksson's opponent, in all the circum-
stances, is an exceptionally strong candi-
date The only thing against him is that
he is known as Honest John" Farley.

belongs to the cheap type of polite ia ms
who ride into office on a nickname "He
with the business community, and has also
kept in touch with the democratic parry
workers. He can also make a campaign on
the West Side among the workingmen, and
that is what makes him dangerous to Nc
KfSson.
Farley's Weak Point.
Farley has one inconvenient point. He
was mayor of the city some years ago, and
his administration was fair to middling He
has to go back and defend some chapters
in his record. and the McKissonites insist
on full explanations. All the leading demo-
Gratis, including former Representatives
Martin A. Foran and Tom L. johnson, are
supporting Farley. He was a sound money
democrat and lodged supporting Bryan.
but the silver wing of the party has shown
no resentment. Silver has not been heard
OF in the campaign. 1t Is q queer situation.
because the leadership of Bryan is ac-
knowiedged. and no one will dare dispute
1t. Recently the attempt has been made to
work UP a silver opposition to Farley. 1t
comes too late to do him much harm

Heredisy of Aoouired oharac.eri.t,o.

Heredity ofAcquired Characterization
! I. have found in my study of camels,
However, an example perhaps still more
curious and Significant 1t Is known
that, with the exception of Its stature,
the camel Is absolutely a llama, its
blood globules being elliptical, its teeth
raptilian In form, its r~udimentary third
and fifth toes permanent. 1t possesses,
further, that mysterious pouch of the
stomach for the storage of fluids, the
same kind Of c~allosity on breast-bone
and knees, acquired by the camel
through kneeling to receive loads. But
the camel differs strikingly from the
llama In that 1t possesses the hump
that fatty mass, with a special develop
ment of some of the spinal processes.
For a long time could not explain this
hump. One day, however, a poor por-
ter, having a complaint in his chest,
came to consult me; and, on examina-
ton, I found, halfway down his back,
precisely where he was wone to rest
his burdens, a tumor larger than q
mans fist. formed almost wholly of
adtpose tissue. IT, suddenly occurred
to ME that this lump-which not only
caused the porter no Inconvenience, but
even aided him in his work-might per-
haps serve as a clue to my mystery Of
the cameps hump. 1 succeeded
In examining seventy porters of vari-
BUS occupations, and, to my great joy,
1 was able to find four more examples
Of this fatty tumor.
What was of ever greater value In
u inquiry was the fact that 30 per
cent of the porters examined, although
having no real hump, yet presented an
unusual protuberance of the spinal pro-
resses.-Prof. Cesare Lombroso, in the

. IiFe IN A CONVICT COLONY.
New Caledonia a Delightful Place In

! New Caledonia a Delightful Place In
which to Pass imprisonment.
1.-THE island Of New Caledonia, where
I have lived for the past ten years, is
i a French hehal colony" said @. 4 g.
Freeman, an English gentleman. ? II
went there for my health, expecting 20
stay only a short time, but went into
the business of raising coffee, for which
that country Is well adapted, and final
J ly concluded to stay permanently. New
Caledonia is 1000 miles east of Aus
tralla, and, although within the tropics,
has a delightful climate for ten months
In the year. During January and Feb
ruary the weather Is SO excessively hot
that one cannot live In comfort. 1t is
forty miles wide by 400 long. ;
'9There are between 5000 and 5000
convicts on the island, and perhaps al
equal number of ticket of leave men
| that Is, men who have served out their
terms Of Imprisonment, but who arc
forbidden to leave and have to report
to the authorities twice a year. They
are a miserable, spiritless lot, these
ticket of leave fellows, who work just
enough to keep from starvation and
! whose highest ambition is to get money
; enough for a debauch. The convicts
are treated very humanely by the
4 French officials, and | doubt If there
is a penal settlement in the world
where the men have the same care and
consideration shown them.
1.-THE coffee plantations are worked
largely by negroes, who come from the
New Hebrides under contract 10 stay
two or three years, the local labor being
very unreliable. The pay of the labor
ers is 81 per month and rations, rice
being the principal article of food. This
| cheapness of labor is the explanation
| Of the profit in c~ultivating coffee. IF
we had to pay the wages current in the
United States there would be no money
In its production. We export to France
and are allowed a rebate of one-half OF
the entry duties, which is a considera'
BILE bonus.
There are a few Englishmen In New
Caledonia, but no Americans, | believe,
outside of the Consul. The French are
very jealous of foreigners and discour-
age all outsiders from coming there

AAEIE--
Pennsylvania and Mafy1ahdElong In
dispute, and was commenced in 1888
and finished in 1867, four years being
occupied in the survey. A milestone or
marker was placed at each and every
mile along the entire length of the line
as surveyed, and at every ten miles a
larger and more elaborate stone wa
erected, with the Pennsylvania coat of
arms on one side and those of Mary
land on the other. |'sss~-s4>
These stones were about three feet
high, and many of them yet remain
ia their original positions, marking the
famous boundary line between the
northern and southern sections Of the
country-a special line made famous
and historic by the anti-slavery and
pro-slavery press and advocates, and
proclaimed and recognized as such in
the national halls of legislation by the
statesmen of the North and South in
their heated discussions of the slavery
question in the ante-bellum days..
These stones are of a peculiar species
of granite, and were brought from Scot
land in vessels at the time the survey
was made and transported the entire
length of the boundary line by pack
mules, a slow and tedious job, and it is
to be regretted that any one should
have been so vandal-like as to remove
any of them, even for relics, or to
utilize them about their premises; but,
unfortunately this has been done, and
quite a number of them are missing
and have totally disappeared and their
whereabouts are unknown. The Coun-
ty Commissioners of York and Adams
Counties a few years ago made an eff
fort looking to the preservation of these
boundary stones, and passed along the
line of their respective counties to note
their condition and as far as possible
restore and replace them In their orig
lnal locations. Some were found to be
lying PROSTATE on the ground, others
mutilated, and here and there others re-
moved and carried away, leaving a gap
several miles in the line unmarked.
An effort should be made to discover
the whereabouts of the missing stones,
and the persons in whose possession
they are and the parties compelled to
restore them, If still intact and per-
feet, to their legitimate and proper po-
sition in this historic boundary line,
which should be faithfully preserved

Mason and Dixon's line, so much
heard of during the exciting anti-sla-

civil war broke out, passes along the
southern boundary of Cordorus, Man
helm and West Mannheim townships,
York County, and at the point where
1t crosses the Baltimore and Hanover
turnpike is seven. or eight miles distant
from Hanover; along that portion of
West Mannheim Township where it joins
Adams County it is about six miles
distant.
This line was run by Charles Mason

engineers, who were brought from En-
gland by the heirs of William Penn
and Lord Baltimore to establish a true
