the American eagle, as If only
America had an eagle, says the
New York Press. "Let the Eagle
scream I" is a pet saying. The
eagle is dominant in the coats OF
arms of Mexico, Russia, Chill,
Austria Hungary, Prussia, and
Germany. 1t was the ensign of
the ancient kings of Babylon and
Persia, of the Ptolemics aud Seleu-
cides. The Romans adopted it and
Maurius made it the ensign of the
legion. The French under the en-
pire assumed the same device. The
eagle is used for lectures in
churches because it is the natural
enemy of the serpent. The Mexico

in its beak and talons. Austria
Germany, and Russia have two
headed eagles, one facing to the
right, and the other toythe left.
The two heads symbolic the East
ern or Byzantine empire, and the
Western or Roman empire. The
eagle signifies fortitude.

1t is not in the West alone that
Republican manifest dissatisfaction
with the present tariff. Ex-Mayol
Raymond, of Salem, Mass, who is
a candidate for the Republican
nomination for Congress III his
district, is out in a public letter IN
which he advocates the abolition OF
the duty on hides, and he goes on
to say: "When any portion OF
the tariff is no longer needed for
revenue or to encourage and pro-
tect our industries, and does not
contribute to enhance the wages or
the labor of workingmen and the
general welfare of the people, the
reason for it's retention is gone. .
Interest is added to these remarks
by the fact that the Salem district
was formerly represented by Sec
rotary Moody.
