the importance of the fact to say that
the charge is unfounded. The part play

of Benjamin Harrison, is not to be for

another factor which operates againsl

call the Democratic landslide which fol-
lowed the high prices caused by the
enactment of the Mckinley tariff law

very sensitive to an undue drain upon
his pocket. Nor does it matter whether
the dominant party is actually to blame
for the Objectionable conditions. It is
made the vicarious sacrifice. The aver
age voter. disconnected and anxious for
a reform, marks his ballot for the op-

can ranks, with an almost universal
protest agains the high-handed, arbi-
trary extortion of monopolies, with high
prices demanded for the necessaries of
life, with labor troubles in many states

itself upon the question of tariff reform,

the Republican party confronted by a

is held in check by the memory of the

may be tickle, but the dismal exDer-

Democratic administration were burned
deeply into his memory and make him
pause ere he flies from the evils of the

foolish, senseless endeavor, and the

Philippines and have forced the Demo-
Gratis to the consideration of the trust
and tariff questions. 1t was circum-

led the Democrats to finally emphasize
the one issue that appeals to the uni

1t may be that the Democrats will win
the approaching election. If they do, it

London, Oct. 21.-Mr. Spencer, the
aeronaut, made another trip yesterday;
largely with the wind. He travelled
twenty six miles, and descended near
Preston. There was a good breeze when
he assembled. When he was about a
thousand feet high he made several evolu-
tions against the wind, and finally sailed
off in the direction the wind was blowing.
When he was descending he found that he
was over a railroad, with his trailing
rope dangling among the telegraph lines
along the line. An express train was
approaching and Mr.. Spencer shouted for
the engineer to stop. The latter shouted
in reply: "Stop your air ship" Mr..
Spencer rarnmed tree. but no serious
damage was done.

was performed by two surgeons, with fif-

was very severe. It would require six
stitches. During intervals between the
beats Of the heart the needle was inserted
six times and the flow of blood was
stopped. The wound was carefully
dressed and the surgeons waited to see
the result. The patient rallied rapidly
