LOOKING BACKWARD.

"The remarkable development of the
state of Pennsylvania in the past 25
years is an everlasting monument in
commemoration of the Republican
doctrine of American protection" de-
clares the Jeanette (Westmoreland
county, Dispatch. Its shadow extends
to the remotest part of the state. In
the gratefulness of its noon tide
shadow the American workingman sits
today sheltered from the burning and
consuming heat of free trade sun, and
eats his dinner from the best filled
pail he ever enjoyed. In this shadow,
in peace and comfort, and in heartfelt
content, he eats his fll and with re-
newed strength and courage completes
his task for today, and goes to his
home assured that the same shadow
awaits his return on the morrow, and
the next day, and the next, and so on,
SO long as the American people remain
true to the Republican doctrine Of
American protection.
There is no county in the state
that is benefited more by the suprem-
acy of this doctrine of protection
than has Westmoreland county II has
made our county great among the
greatest In the face of these facts and
in the full enjoyment of the shade of
this movement our duty is clear. Our
Democratic friends would have us be-
lieve that these principles are not an
issue in this campaign, and that the
issues now in question are purely local.
Do not be deluded in this way. The
successful man in business keeps a
close watch on the future To avoid
danger he looks ahead. A Republican
defeat in this county and state at this
coming election may prove a disas-
trous calamity. Republicans cannot
afford to take a backward step in this
march Of progress. The question of
protection and free trade is always an
issue The Democratic party is now
as always, in favor of free trade"

mia Democracy, is encouraging and

counties Of the state. with view of

The Language of COLOR.

According to tradition, sky-blue de-
notes amiability, %gentleness and pow
er; pale yellow, riches, knowledge and
deceit. Orange is significant of splen-
dor, intelligence and falseness; while
rose-pink is emblematic of youth, gay
ETY. and affection; in a dark tone It
reads joy, victory and love. Damask-
red pertains to dignity, pomp and os-
tentation. Dark blue belongs to
friendship and fidelity, combined with
peace. White represents purity, limo
cence and refinement; gray, sadness,
indifference and age; violet, nobility;
maroon, If in very rich fabric, modest
elegance, but more commonly it be-
longs to poverty and resignation.
Tender silver-green Is the ~accompani-
ment Of youthful hope; deep green in
dicating vigor, strength, trust and
plenty. Colors are Of great antiquity,
and frequent mention Of them is made
in the Bible. To the cochineal insect

is produced from the madden plant,
which grows in Hindoostan; Prussian-
blue is manufactured by fusing horses
hoofs with impure potassium carbon
ate, the natural earth of Sienna fur
nlshes raw sienna, and that Of UNI
bria, when burnt, lumber. Every ma
ton out of Europe employs a different
hue as its sign Of mourning. For in
stance, faint brown, to symbolic with
cred leaves, is worn in Persia; the
Philippians and Abyssinians don
smoke-brown as significant of earth;
the Chinese array themselves in white,
emblem of white-handed hope; and
sapphire blue is chosen in Bokhara.
In Egypt and Burmah yellow indicates
losses, the shade Of the sere and faded
leaf; and in Turkey we find violet
fashions the garment Of grief.

TREPANNED A FIsH's SKULL
Not a a story, But IL WIN Serve
as Well.

Not a Snake story, But It WIN Serve
as Well
That fish can have the feeling Of
gratitude toward a benefactor is proved
By this touching incident related by
the New York Press. A physician
walking one evening in the park at
Durham, the seat Of the earl Of STAN
ford and Warrington, came to a pond
where fish intended for the table were
Kept temporarily. Ike noticed partic-
ularly a fine pike Of about six pounds
weight, which, when 1t observed him,
darted hastily away. In doing so it
struck its head against a tenter-hook
in a post, Of which there we're several
in the pond, placed to prevent poach-
ing, and fractured its skull, thereby
turning the optic nerve on one side.
The anguish evin@ed by the fish ap-
peared horrible. 4 rushed to the bot
tom, and, boring its head into the mud,
whirled itself around with such velocity
that it was almost lost to sight for a
short interval. Tfthen plunged about
the pond, and at length threw itself
completely out Of7the water on to the
bank. The doctoI caught the fish, and
upon exa,mipatios 7pA thatla small
portion Of the bflln was %protruding
from the fracture in the skull. He
carefully replaced this, and with a small
silver toothpick raised the indented
portion of the skull. The fish remained
still for a short time, and he then put
it again into the pond. It appeared
at first a good deal relieved, but in a
few seconds it again darted and plung-
ed about until 1t threw itself out
Of the water a second time. Again the
doctor did what he could to relieve it,
and then replaced 1t in the water. The
pike continued for several times to
throw itself out of the pond, and with
the aid of the keeper, the doctor at
length made a kind Of trepan for the
fish which was then left in the pond to
its fate. Upon making an appearance
at the pond the following morning the
pike anne to the edge of the water,
and actually laid its head upon the
physicians foot. The doctor thought
this most extraordinary; but he exam
ined the fsh's skull and found it going
on all right. He then walked back
ward and forward along the edge of the
pond for some time, and the fish con-
tinued to swim up and down, turning
whenever he turnedi but, being blind
on the wounded side of his skull, it
always appeared agitated when it had
that side toward the bank, as it could
not then see its benefactor. Next day
the doctor took some young friends
down to see the fish, which came to
him as before, and at length he taught
the pike to come to him at his whistle
and feed out Of his hands. With other
persons it continued as shy as fish usu-
ally are.
