scaven:er. Kill fly, mouse or frog,
leave it on the ground and watch.
Along, cones an ant. He inspects the
object, rtns all over it, and, as 1t

parts and soon returns, leading con-
voy, which either carry the object of
bodily or set about eXcavating the
victim with their strong mandibles, so
there remains nothing but skeleton
covered by the cuticle if it be fur or
leather. These ants have a great
fancy for greasy, oily or sweet sub
stances, and so are unwelcome vist-
tors to the housewives larder. Among
some of the tribes of Bushmen and
Kaf1ifs this appetite is turned to
dreadful purpose. Prisoners of war
are fastened to tree infested by these
insects or to one of the anthills, their
bodies smeared with honey or fat.
Soon the feast is reported and the ants
issue in myriads and literally gnaw
the flesh from the bones, the victims
dying a slow and fearful death. In

them may retain it's perfect form. If
not disturbed, the ants carry out their
work until every vestige Of flesh is
removed and the white skeleton re-

WILL Mr.. CLEVELAND VOTE FOR
BRYAN2

Grover Cleveland is not for
Mckinley. The efforts of the
Republicans to interpret his
silence as meaning that has been
nipped in the bub by Mr.. Cleve-
land himself.
Mr.. Cleveland steadily declined
1express himself at all as to Mr..
Bryan until the Republicans be-
gun to make capital of his silence.
]. X. Mcclure, chairman of the
Democratic party, visited Mr..
Cleveland at Princeton to try to
bring the ex-President out for
Eryan. While this effort did not
meet with entire success it was
followed in few days by this
statement from Mr.. Cleveland
himself:
II am not aware of having
made any statement that would
Justify the assertion that am 90
Ing to support Mr.. Mckinley.
This is all 1 have said to any
tody on the subject and all | have
to say"
Mr.. Cleveland made the state
ment. with a show of great indig-
nation at the persons who have
been industriously circulating the
report that he had committed
himself to the present admistra-
tion, many of whose most con-
spIcuous acts and policies have
been condemned by HIM.
Mr.. Cleveland was disgusted by
some of the scandals growing out
of the Spanish war. He has no
sympathy with the policy of i'm
perialism. He has no patience
with president and a Republi-
can congress that permit them
selves to be managed by Mark
Hanna.
Nobody managed Mr.. Cleveland
when he was president.
The sole excuse for the unau-
thorIzed report that Mr.. Clevc-
land would vote for .-f5Kinley
was the publication of a letter
written BIZ the ex-president to
John S. Green, of Louisville, KY,
reaffirming the position taken by
2im in 1896 on the money ques-
ton.
Since then Republican orators
and newspapers have been claim
ing him as q supporter of the adj
ministration.
In the interview Mr.. Cleveland
made it plain that the fact that
he has not changed his views on
the money question is one thing
and an intention to support Nc
Kinley is another.
His statement has gived the De-
much satisfaction.

HIS NOBLE RECORD.

Major William Mckinley is a
man with n record. 1t is too
long and too varied to recount in
a single article, but a few salient
points may be recalled with profit.
He has made war without legal
authority on our allies, the nom
slave-holding Christian monoga-
mists of Luzon.
He has recognized slavery and
polygamy in Sulus.
He bought peace from the Mo-
hammedan barbarian and hold
ing polygamist despot and is pay
ing him and his retainers large
subsidies for the maintenance of
their harems.
He has said in an interview that
he could deny the right of suf-
frage, of trial by jury, or the writ
of habeas corpus, the right to bear
arms, the right of representation
and all other rights to the Inhabl-
tants of " our new possessions"
while imposing upon them arbi-
trary taxes.
He declared in a message to
congress that forcible annexation
ander our code of morals would
be criminal aggression. He then
engaged in forcible annexation.
He told congress that 1t was
our ''plain duty to give Porto
Rico free trade.
Immediately thereafter he ex-
erted all the power of his admin
istration to compel congress to
impose a tariff upon Porto Rican
commerce both ways. Mr.. Ok
nard of the Sugar Trust had seen
him later.
He paid Spain 500. .000,00 for a
title she had lost and secured an
insurrection in which Spain had
been whipped.
He has since spent more than
5000, 900, 900 in trying to get what
Spain is supposed to have agreed
to. deliver.
And now he is asking the peo-
pie of the United States to ratify
his illegal and immoral acts and
to give him a chance to complete
his schemes of imperial conquest
and exploitation. .-Ex.

HANNA's COUNTY FOR BRYAN,
Republicans Acknowledge Big Gains for
Democratic Candidate.

The Chicago Record (Indepen-
dent) prints the following:
From reliable Republican source
word comes that Cuyahoga and
Lucas counties are sure to give
big majorities to Bryan, and the
aggregate Democratic gains in
those counties will have the effect
of seriously reducing the usually
big Republican pluralities in Ohio.
Estimates have been made by Re-
publicans which show that the
two counties will aggregate 5000
majority for Bryan, and they at
tribute the slum from Mckinley
to the closing down of many mills
that have been cold to the trusts
SINCE 1896, in spite of the promis-
es Of the bosses that votes for
Bryan would mean hard times for
the mill owners aud smaller wages
for the employees, The working
people voted for Mckinley and
Hobart because they though Re-
publican success meant steady
work and better wages for them,
Then the big steel and iron COM
panies sold out to the trust and
the shops began to "close down
for repairs. "
In the neighborhood Of Toledo
and Cleveland imported trust
managers began to build barbed
wire trochas and stockadcs around
the mills, and since McKinley's
election, instead of permanent
work and bigger earnings for the
men, wages have fallen off and
but eighteen months of steady
work have rewarded the employ
es who voted the Republican tick
ct at their bosses bidding.
The result politically became
in the gubernatorlal
election, when not a Republican
candidate in Cuyahoga county was
elected. Golden Rule" Jones is
said to be supreme IN that portion
of the Stcte. His campaign for
Bryan is reported. as most disas-
trous for Mckinley, and there are
conservative Democrats who now
insist that Republican losses in
that section will be almost great
enough to put the same in the
doubtful column. There can he
no doubt that the Democratic
gains in Ohio will bo great, and
conservative Republican admit
that $4,000 majority is the best of
their hopes this year.

The New York Sun made bad
blunder when it made its utterly
wanton attack on that great man,
Robert e. Lee. The worst of it
is that suspicion of having Inspir-

evitable fall on the Republican
leaders.
