A system of finance has been adopt
ed that gives us the best money in
the world and the nation the highest
credit of all the nations Of the earth.
The country has ceased to depend
upon foreign capital for its develop
tnent and for its national loans, but
has become money lender TO the
other nations and supplier Of cap
ital for the development of the re-
sources Of far distant lands. It has
by force of arms or threat of their
use, preserved the liberty and terri
torial integrity of its fellow repub-
lies on the American continent and
redeemed from monarchial oppres-
sion some of the lairest islands of
the western and eastern seas. All
this has been done under the con-
tinuous charge Of the Democratic
party that the country was being
ruined, its prosperity checked and
the liberties OF the people subverted
and much of ii has been accom-
plished in the face Of its most bitter
and obstinate opposition. Now
again, we hear the same old cries
and experience the same opposition
to progress and national advance
ment and prosperity. Let the re-
cord of the past speak for the

A RUINED COUNTRY.

ACCORDING 10 CONTINUOUS Dem
locratic declaration the Republican
party has been busy forty years in
working the ruin Of the country, en-
slavement of the people, the crea-
lion Of imperial dictators, the de-
struction OF the Constitution, and
III the promotion Of industrial and
financial disaster. Every Demo
cratic platform during that period
has emphatically declared these
things, and the Democratic press
and speakers have made hyslerical
appeals to the people to save the
country and sorrowing patriots
have wept over the destruction of
the republic. The same hysterical
appeals are now being made and
the same tears of mourning are be-
lug shed over exactly the same
kind of corpse that has evoked
them at quadrennial periods since
the first election of Lincoln sealed
the nations doom, destroyed is
prosperity and put an end to our
free institutions. Mr.. Bryan rants
and weeps as his predecessors
ranted and wept, and over the self
same things. Yet what is the ma
ture of the ruin wrought by forty
years of Republican rule and TO
what extent have the people been
deprived of their liberties? Here
are some of the results. The popu-
lation of the country has increased
from 5I,443,32I to approximately
77ooc, 900, pot counting our new
territories. The total wealth Of the
nation has increased from less than
SEQ, 900 900, 900 to nearly $Ioo, ,ooo-

that period slavery has been de-

the franchise granted to every man
born i'll this country, regardless OF
color or previous condition of ser

-YEARNED FOR PIGGY
Lions in Chicago Zoo Wanted to
Make a Meal of Him.
Dog Guessed Their Intentions and
Made a Frantic Dash for IA Place
of Safety, Followed by His
Fat Mistress.

One afternoon last week, says the
Chicago Tribune, a stout elderly woni-
an with an exceedingly fat Tug dog
which she was leading with chain
drew up before the lions cage at the
200" in Lincoln park. Perhaps it
was because the lions had not had
their regular afternoon meal, and per-
haps it was because of the inviting
fairness of the l ug, but in any event
hardly had the woman and her dog
come into sight before the fence
which surrounds the elevated cage in
which the lions are kept than the lat
ter began to evidence the most I'M
mistakable interest in the dog.
Crouching like a cat about to spring
on rat, with lowered heads and eyes
fastened on the dog they crept along
the bottom of the cage toward where
the pug was as if the iron barriers
which interviewed had been entirely
lost sight of. There was no mistak-
ing the greedy looks of their eyes,
which held in them the most eager
anticipation as if they beheTd the
most toothsome morsel that had ever
come to their notice. Those on the
broad shelves where they were wont
to stretch themselves in repose
slipped quietly down and lined up in
crouchirg attitude close to the bars
of the cage with eyes which followed
every movement of the dog.
For a moment or two the woman
did not seem to comprehend the sig
nifcance of their actions, but not so
the dog, and it gave every evidence of
being anything but pleased by it.
1t tugged this way and then that way
at its chain, and every time it moved
the lions within followed up and
down along the bars.

A NEW AND DEADLY DRINK.
Ether and Diluted Alcohol Plcases
GaIicia and Other European
Countries,

A new connection in the way of
drinks is beginning to find favor
among certain classes in Europe, ac-
ocordlng to statement recently made
by German physician who has been
studying the liquor habit in this and
other countries.
This new beverage consists princi-
pally of ether and slightly diluted al
cohol. 1t is said to have originated in
Galicia. In consequence of the rise
in the price of alcohol in that country
the poorer classes of the people were
3 deprived of the pleasure of their week
ly Saturday revel. An ingenious drug
gist then conceived the idea of mix
ing sulphuric ether with diluted alco-
hol, and substituting this for the ma
tional drink. Although ether creates
nausea until the stomach becomes ac-
customed to it, this drink soon became
very popular. 1t is now consumed in
large quantities. and its use has
spread beyond the limits of the coun-
try.
The effect of the liquor on the nerv-
Gus system is highly injurious. The
chronic ether victim soon develops a
maudlin stupor, and in many cases the
continued use of ether DESTROYS en-
tirely the power of the brain.-N. Y.

IMMUNE TO SNAKE POISON.
Father and Son In Georgia who
Think Nothing of Being StunE
by Reptiles.

A gentleman from northern Georgia.
whose statements cannot be doubted,
told story of family, at least ia.
Their and son, almost incredible. They
live near the Durham mines on the
Sand mountain and are named Viii
son. The remarka BILE thing connected
with them is an entire absence of fear
of snakes, even of the most venomous
description, and their immunity from
any evil effects from the bites of the
deadliest reptile, says the Chattanooga
News.
The father and son came to the mines
not many days ago, according to the
statement of this gentleman, the son
with a large copperhead, one of the
deadliest of Georgia's many deadly
snakes, coiled in his cap on top of his
head. The father had large rattle
snake, about five feet long. in his
bosom next to his skin. They seemed
no more afraid of them than if thew
were pet mice, and after putting these
strange pets upon the ground this
extraordinary pair, in order to prove
their lack of fear, provoked the snakes
until each was bitten in the arms and
legs a number of times.
No i'll effects whatever were mani.
tested, and the man told the narrator
that no snake bite had the slightest
effect on him. He and his son can take
up the most deadly snakes, such as the

snake bites, other than the slight pain

The man had no explanation to offer.
saving that he has been that way since
he can remember. Physicians try to
explain it by saying that they have be-
come proof by continuous bites and
innoculation, somewhat in the same
way that innoculation with smallpox

contracting smallpox But this can
hardly be true, if the man is to be be-
lleved, since he states that he has en-
joyed immunity since his earliest child.

immune and has been all his life.
The case is one which might be
profitably investigated by physicians
and scientific men. A few such cases
have been told of before, but vaguely
and indefinitely, but this is vouched for
by such undeniably good and reliable
authority that there can be no possible
doubt of its truth.
The informer is positive that the poi
son fangs of the snakes exhibited had
not been extracted, and he is equally
positive that there was no deception
practiced. After submitting to the
bites the man and the boy both showed
their hands and legs, and the small
punctures with the blood exudins
therefrom were seen by dozens of PEG.

Whatever the power possessed by
this abnormal pair, there is no ques.
ton as to the poisonous character OF
the snakes, nor of the fact that they
bite their keepers, and that the bitea
were absolutely innocuous.

MARKET VALUE OF BRAINS.
Those MuddIed by the Use of Alcohol
or Tobacco Do Not Find Ready
Employment.

William Allen White, the friend of
boys, says: Tobacco is like whisky
it is growing in disfavor. There is
not in Emporia to-day a single topper.
In 25 years the use of tobacco will be
-tabooed as whisky is, and what is
more, white ribboners and reformers
and political agitators won't be re-
sponsible for it. The responsibility
will be in the relentless competition
of this age, which casts upon the ash
heap for failure every brain that is
impaired from any cause. This will
be cruel. But it is inevitable, and the
boys of to-day should prepare for it.
In the day when they shall do bat
tie for success the man will coddle
his brains and his body as sporting
man coddles his horse. In these DAYS
of active competition it is the best
brain that wins, and the man who
knocks out his brains with tobacco
and whisky is knocked out of the con-
test for supremacy in any field of ac-
tivity. When a young man applies
for job in this town he is practical
fy renting his brains. The market
is full of brains, and no employer
cares to hire a damaged set
