REPUBLICAN STAGNATION.
Present Leaders of the Party Are
Dismal Failures.

The great majority Of the Republican
party used to worship James G.. Blaine
and the policies that he stood for. He
favored reciprocity, especially with
South American countries, ana in a
speech at Waterville, Me. Aug. 20,
1890, he said
"Our great need is expansion.
mean expansion of trade with coun-
tries where we can find profitable ex-
changes. We are not seeking annexa-
ton of territory. Certainly we do not
desire it unless it should come by the
volition of a people who might ask the
priceless boon of a place under the flag
of the Union. | feel sure that for a
long time to come the people of the
United States will be wisely content
with our present area and not launch
upon any scheme of annexation. At
the same time think we should be
unwisely content if we did not seek to
engage in what the younger Pitt so
well termed annexation of trade"
The Republican leaders today are
OlSLlncIly opposed 10 JUST what Mr.
Blaine was striving for. He little
thought that within few years a Re
publican president would be forcibly
annexing countries not In this hemi-
sphere and Republican congress
would be standing pat and refusing to
ratify reciprocity treaties that McKin-
ley had arranged.
The Blaine Republican must, like the
few followers of Abe Lincoln that are
left, view with dismay the dismal fail
ure of their present leaders, who fear
to legislate on important matters, but
in place adopt a policy of legislative
stagnation. Does any one believe that
Blaine would stand pat at the present
juncture?

Those people who are wage earners
will be glad to know that their salaries
have been increased at an astonishing
rate the past few years, for Secretary
Shaw says the figures are being pre-

MILES OF LOCUSTS
SHUT OUT THE sun

A Bombay newspaper publishes an
amazing account of a remarkable
flight of locusts which visited Satara
recently.
About o'clock in the afternoon
the locusts made their appearance,
going from east to west, and towards
evening myriads of them began to
settle down for the night.
Next morning there were reports
which at first were laughed at, that
the roads were blocked by trees fall
ing across them, that traffic was at a
standstill, and that all this was
caused by the locusts.
When the mass of insects resumed
fight next day, some idea of it's i'm
mensity was obtained. The main
body, which was thick enough to form
substantial shade, occupied about
one mile in breadth, with two wings
a mile and half each. The insects
we're travelling about seven miles an
hour, and as they took eight hours
in passing a given place, it is COM
puted that they occupied about 224
square miles.
During their stay mango trees, fig
and pipul trees, 10 feet to 20 feet in
circumference, groaned under the
weight of the locusts, and some came
down with a crash

KEEP THE BALANCE UP.

1t has been truthfully said that any
disturbance of the even balance of
health cause serious trouble. Mo-
body can be too careful to keep this
balance up. When people begin to
lose appetite, or to get tired easily,
the least imprudence brings on sick
ness, weakness or debility. The sys-
tenn needs a tonic Graves it, and
should not be denied it; and the best
tonic of which we have any knowl-
edge is Hoods Sarsaparilla. What
this medicine has done in keeping
people healthy, in keeping up the
even balance of health, gives it the
same distinction as a preventive that
it enjoys as a cure. It's early use
has illustrated the wisdom of the old
saying that stitch in time saves
nine. Take Hoods for appetite,
strength and endurance.

REMARKABLE
FISH IS FOUND

LOS ANGELES, Cal, May 14.-Lo-
cal scientists are much puzzled over
the finding of remarkable fish In
the waters of the Pacific Off Ocean
park. The creature was taken in a
seine by a fisherman named Frank
Gomez. All efforts to classify the
fish have so far failed. 1t is called
for want Of a better name, the glass
fish," because of it's transparency.
The creature is 10 inches in length
and Is without fms, but has two tails,
with which 1t propels and guides IT.
self through the water. Upon either
side of the body are rows Of suckers,
with which, no doubt, the fish at
taches itself to rocks when It so de-
sires. The transparency of it's body
exposes it's skeleton and internal or
gans, and so perfectly transparent is
its flesh that print of an ordinary
newspaper may be read through the
body Of the fish.
When taken from the water the
fish elected a quantity of fluid from
its anatomy and became very shrunk-
en- in appearance, but upon being re-
turned to the water 1t Immediately
expanded to it's normal size. The
creature has a well developed head, a
wide mouth, armed with sharp teeth
upon both jaws, but it has no organs

transparency Of the fish. leads to the
belief that it has been an inhabitant

ADMIRAL INGIFS BELIEVES RUSSA'S
CRUISERS ARE m BAD CONDITION

hear the cries of the wounded, which
reads as if they were engaged with
the big Russian craft. But later on,
the. only big Russian ships which seem
to have appeared were the Novik and
Bayan, neither of which came to close
quarters, and this agrees entirely with
Admiral Makaroff's version.
The significance of Admiral Togo's
report that while he was fighting this
action at sea the other fotilla of his
torpedo boats had succeeded in sinking
mines at the entrance to Port Ar
thur is very important.
1t is instructive to note that only
two cruisers accompanied the Russian
admiral to sea to fight in this very i'm
portant engagement. This seems TO
agree with the last report, when three
cruisers left Port Arthur, and one
was observed to return in a sinking
condition. 1t is impossible, however,
to conclude that the whole force OF
Russia in Port Arthur is confined to
two cruisers. and that no battleships
are available, but, reading between the
lines, when we see these continued
attacks on Port Arthur, and that sor-
ties have been made to meet them, 1t
is my strong opinion that the only two
large vessels ready for instant service
at present in Port Arthur are the
cruisers Novik and Bayan.
But, apart altogether from material
losses among the ships in harbor, this
strange inertia of vessels blockaded by
sea-keeping force reminds me OF
naval history, which, like other his
tory, repeats itself.
1t was always found In the days OF
sailing fleets that the blockaded fleet
deteriorated through inaction, while in
the sea-keeping feet the men were
rendered hard and keen by the perpet-
ual war with the elements. When
the enemy did appear the fight to them
was merely a pleasant diversion from
the deadly monotony of days and
nights of uneventful vigilance.
1t is quite true that the modern
theory of all this is the reverse, and
that through the power of steam a
blockaded fleet can choose their own
time, say, on misty night, to come
out, with boilers at full pressure, and
under the protection of the search
lights from the forts, which, while
lighting up and dazzling the enemy,
hide the outgoing ships in darkness.
dash through the investing line. and
make for the open sea, so that the fact
of the Russians not having taken some
such course as this shows that there
has been something wanting in their
morale.

THE YOUNG MANS AGE

Any amount of twaddle has been
written of late about old men and
the wonderful stunts they have per
formed.
The old men seem to have come
right up to the footlights and want
to stand in the center all the time
the show goes on.
A regular continuous performance OF
the vaudeville order.
1t is all very well for these old-youn9
men to keep up their gait as long and
as actively as they can.
1t is great deal better for them
to wear out than rust out.
But these efforts are to great ex-
tent merely spasmodlc.
They are engendered by the emer-
gency which calls for the effort.
They rise to the occasion as the
necessity demands.
But they have not the stamina to
keep up their work and often then
last effort is their best and their swan
song.
This is the young mans era.
The young mans age, his day, his
hour.
1t is the man who has seen IS and
has yet to see so that stands now in
the opening that leads to future prom
inence.
He has everything before him.
If the way that leads to success is
not perfectly clear from briar and
bramble he has the courage of youth,
the bravery of hope, the desire of ambi-
ton to aid in removing every obstacle
and reach the open.
Given health, fair supply of intel
ligence, and even a moderate amount
of education, there is nothing in the
great world that a young man cannot
accomplish.
The gold spoon does not necessarily
have to be his first birthday gift.
He can make his own luck, can the
young man.
This is certainly his age.
Look at the sons of the great tinan-
ciers of the world!
With few exceptions they are in the
very fullness of comparatively youthful
manhood, and they have shown an
adaptability to take care of the mil
lions they already have, and add to
them, that shows a keenness quite
equal to the most experienced men OF
Wall street.
Their opportunities approach them
on every side, and if they fail to see
them they simply walk around with
their eyes shut.
Yes. this is undoubtedly the young
mans day, and the old ones are simply
playing their last act ON the life stage

school OF monster sea turtles have

Itch about ~ miles off shore.
The monster measures Z feet in
length and feet in breadth. From
tip to tip of flippers it measures 10
feet. 1t is believed to be several
hundred years old.
There are nearly a dozen bullet

whereas in the early days of British
cotton manufacture practically the
