His Voice Raised in Support of Republicanism. WITH HIS OLD-TIME VIGOR A Distinguished Gathering at the Home of the Vice Presidential Candidate Commends the Administration. Blaine Has Spoken. J.unea G. liluiuc lias spoken; the magnetic man of Maine Ii.m thrown the weight of his utterances into the campaign, lie lum silenced the democratic claim that he wan dis K'rtiatttlcd by t-arnestly, und with much of his old-time vijior, pro claiming the republican cause and advocating the election of the Har rison mid K'eiil ticket. His speech wasdelivered un.ler uniipiecircum stances. There were no cut and dried arrangement:1; no set pro gramme; hut when informed at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon that the residents of White 1'lains anil the surrounding villages intended to serenade him at Ophir fi rm, the res idence of Whitelaw Keid, where he was visiting, that evening, the ex secretary turned to his host and said: Then I will speak to them." I'cllow I'ituens of New York: I should be churlish indeed if I did not make response to your call after you have come peveral miles to the beautiful home of Mr. K'eid on a pleasant October evening. At the fame time I am not making speeches in the canvass, far the reasons are well known to my friends ami which have no con nection whatever with politics. Generally administrations, in n presidential election.are challenged on account of the condition of the business of the country and I sub mit that the republican adminis tration of l'tesident Harrison can triumphantly endure such a test. I doubt if since the government of the United States was instituted, anybody, at any time, has seen what we call "jood times" so tfen-t-rnl, taking in so many interests and spreading prosperity through out the whole domain of trade. I iiiiht appeal to New York if the city lias ever passed a season more satisfactory in financial re. spects than lor the past two years, in which the general effect on capital and labor has been more prosperous. The opponents of the republican party always represent New Y'ork as a commercial city and not a manufacturing one, and yet the product of the manufactures of the city in placed at f 7iH),iXK,(KN). Any thing that would cripple that great interest would cripple the metrop olis seriously and to a very hurtful extent. More men in New York get their living from pursuits pro tected by the tariif than from any other source. I know New York is the center of our commerce, the great entrepot of our trade; but all the men engaged in commercial af. fairs in and about New York, are smaller in numbers than the men engaged in manufactures. Nor, if you go west, where the democrats this year are making considerabls effort and doing a vast amount of boasting, will you find it different. Take Michigan, Ohio, Indiana or Illinois and the products of manu factures are greater in pecuniary amount than the products of agri culture in these four great agricul tural states. So tl at think when it liappens to democratic orators who are on the wing trying to arouse the hostility of these states against the protective tariif, they will en counter a sentiment of which they have not dreamed. We learn from the democratic parly that these western states are in a desperate condition. The amount of their farm mortgages roll up in the mil lions. You would suppose it fabul ous that the amount of money they embrace could ever have been so invested. This is not so among the fanners in New York; it is not so aiming the farmers of Connecticut; it is not so among the fanners of l'cnnsyl vauia; iv is not so among the farmers of any other state near by whose condition can be easily learned, but by a singular fatality it is the western states that they have to go. It is easily learned, by a singular fatality, it is the eastern states that have got all these farm mortgages burning them and tak ing the life out of the people I do not like to state that the gentlemen have voluntarily misrepresented the facts, but before accepting them as such, you w ill do well and wisely to demand the proofs. The tariif, so the democratic papers say, is the origin of a plutocratic gov ernment when wealth shall rule and poor men shall not get their rights. I shall venture to challenge any statements of that kind, and I shall make the democratic accusers the judges in the case. A careful examination of the list of the wealthy men in the country has been published, and has demon strated the fact to be quite the re verse, to such an extent indeed that in the city of New York, taking the first laO fortunes, not three and two, not more than one would be consid ered as derived from manufactur ing investments. I have a word to say about the Irish vole. I see it stated that the democrats boast of having the mass of them in their ranks this year. It is one of the mysteries of politics that a question which interests Kngland so supremely, which is canvassed almost as much in Lou don as it is in New York, should have the Irish vote on the side of Great Hritaian. If the Iri.-h vote were solidly for protection they could defy all tin' machinations of the democratic party tor free trade I and throw their influence on the side of the home market of America igaiust the side of the foreign mar ket of Kngland. I know this appeal has been frequently made to the Irixli oters, but I in ike it with em phasis now, for I am unwilling to believe that with light and knowl edge before them they will deliber ately be on the side of their former oppressors. 1 lliniK my goou menu Kgan, the brilliant and successful minister to Chile, whom I feel es pecially glad to ine -t at Mr. Keed's tank this evening, will intercede with his countrymen his country men in two seusesi not to aid the leniociatic party in lowering the tandard of the wages of American labor by their potential votes and potential numbers. Thinks he is Not Insane. The story of Judge C. k Scott and his fight with the Hurt county at torneys who are trying to show him to be insane has taken a phase in keeping with its sensational start. Judge Scott has secured an injunc tion to restrain'the insane commis sion from preeeeding in the exami nation of his case. I he. injunction was granted yesterday morning on l representation by Judge Scott that the case is a conspiracy on the part of the sherilf, county judge and attorneys of Hurt county to bar the wheels of justice and to secure his retirement from the circuit. All the attorneys heretofore men tioned in the proceedings at Hurt county are spoken of in the petition as conspirators seeking to drive him from the bench there. With them the sheriff and county attor ney are brought in. Yesterday morning Judge Irvine called Judges Kcysor and Davis into his private office and showed them the application which had been filed by Judge Scott's at torney, Joliu C. Wharton, and a con ference was held, the result of which was the issuance of an in junction restraining the commis sioners of the insane of Hurt county from further proceedings in the in vestigation of the judge's mental condition. The investigation was to have been held yesterday. the hearing ot the application for a permanent injunction was set for next Tuesday, and on that day Judges Irvine, Havis and Keysor will go down to Tekamah to heat t. ludge Hopewell relieved Judge Havis on the criminal docket yes terday morning and will try crimi nal cases so that Jui'ge Havis will be enabled to get away. Attorney lv. ?. llartlett, who is as sisting Mr. Wharton in the defense, is at Tekamah where he went to serve the writ. Judge Scott and his son, I-). A. Scott, were yesterday both at Tekiuuah, the young man is looking alter :ns fathers troubles. Started to Cut Willows. One day the fore part of the week a number of workmen came down from Omaha and commenced cut ting the willows on the bar in front of the city. The chief of police promptly put a stop to it. Last night a uother force was brought down and and put to work this morning after having been told last evening by Mayor Hutler that the willows belonged to the city and that he proposed to protect them. This morning Chief Grace went out where the men were at work and ordered them to stop, The foreman came up with the chief and saw the head man who was stopping at the K'iley. After the mayor had shown him the city charter he concluded he had better recall the men, which was done. This afternoon Knginecr Near who has charge of the men, said that the willows were wanted for the purpose of putting in the river at Omaha where the company, he represented had the contract for building the new bridge across the Missouri at that place. He said it was necessary that they should get them at once as they were under heavy bonds to build the bridge and that they had to have the willows. The engineer say that there are about 2.",(XX) cords on the bar and that they only need about tHK) cords and says if the city will allow him to go ahead he will cut them in such a maimer that it will not be noticed, and, furthermore, that he will hire I'lattsmouth men to do the work. As The Her alp goes to press he is in consultation with Mayor Hutler on the subject, but no agreement has been reached. BIRD EATING SPIDERS. They Ar H1, Klrrca and Hai. Con Iniit Appetite. Among the new nttrttcticms at the Zoo logical gardens Regent's park, London, are a couple of hinl eating npirier, pre r nted to the Zoological society by Mr. T. Terry, of TheGrange, Borough Green, Kent, who brought several of tht.K Interesting arachaidans from Port of Spain, Trinidad. Spiders at large are perhaps not very at tractive crealureH, regarded, that Is, from tbs popular atandpoiut; but a closer ac twmm THE EXILE FROM TRtXiriAD. ojinlntanee with their hnhlts will serve to interest even the most casual of observers. Of course spiders are not "insects'' at nil. Though they belong to the same groat division of the animal world, they form quite a different branch of the genealogical tree which included the lobsters und ci Abs, spiders, insects and ecutipedi umotig Hi belonging. An insect has onlr six leg", a spider h.v eii;lit the two front ''legs'' of a snider arc really appendages of its mouth, so that lis ten legged appearance U thus explained. Then nlso an insect has its head, chest and tail distinctly marked, the head ami chest being joined In the spiders. There are no feelers or anlenniB (as such) In the spiders, and they breathe by lung sacs, and not by air tubes, as do the insects, white finally wings are never developed in tin spider class. The bird eating spiders can not legitimately be called "tarantulas;" more probably they are related to the My gale group, of which the trapdoor spiders of southern Europe are examples. The Is a spider common in the southern 8tate of America which makes its net so strung that It captures small birds. The tarmitu las are not, as a rule, of big size, and thf story about their bite causing "dauciuu nisdness" is of course pure fiction. The bird eating spiders at the "Zoo" an male and female, und, as usual in the spider class, the female is the bigger, foi the spiders long ago satisfactorily solved the, woman's rights question, and not only domineer over their husbands, but often eud domestic differences by eating them. The poison apparatus exists in the mouth, the laumlibles, or big Jaws, being provided each with a poison fang, which draws Its store of venom from a poison gland. Mr. Terry says there is no doubt his spiders kill small birds. Mice they will sometimes capture as well. He feeds his spiders on cockroaches, beetles and moths, and has tried them with very young spar rows. With regard to the effects of tue bite on man. Mr. Terry says they often cause death; but one may be pardoned foi being somewhat skeptical on this lattei point, though there is no reason to doubt that, as with the bite of the scorpion or ot a big centiped, severe inflammation may follow the wound made by a big spider. A iiuiiiinc Afnerirun. The London Globe says: "We recently published an account of the presentat ii. in lloinbay of a medal to Lieutenant Hud dleston, of the Indian marine, for 'tin bravest deed of a year,' and have since re ceivtd particulars of an equally gallant at tempt to save life made by the American champion long distance swimmer. la the winter the steamship Tangier, of Philadel pbia, had an eventful voyage from Safu hue de Cuba, and it sad accident occurred wliKi the vessel lay at l'ortde France, Martin lipie. The second eugineer, J. McFar land, well knowu in Philadelphia, went Into the water to but lie, and being seized wit h cramps gave a shriek and disappeared. "As there were several sharks In t he vicin ft y, everybody hesitated before going to his rescue, but J. U. Johnston, the champion long distance swimmer, of Philadelphia, one of the crew of the Tangier, jumped overboard fully dressed, and for an hour continued to dive for the body. Jle finally rescued it after a desperate conflict wiih two of the man eaters, in whic h he had to use his sheath knife to ward off their fero cious attacks, both Johnston and the drowned man were bitten in several places. Mct'arland was greatly respected by his shipmates, and was buried with full naval honors, the French authorities of Martin ique sending forty officers and six sailors, in full uniform, to attend the funeral. The cofliu was covered with wreaths from the American ami liritish residents." Tlic liny iiml the Mud. "The most remarkable adventure I know of was that of a ten-year-old boy in Coio rado," said Hien.i lieaucbamp to a St. Louis reporter. "A party of us had gone from rucblu Tor a week's hunting and fishing along the Arkansas river. We car ried tents and camped out. A man named llritton had his young son with biin, a manly little fellow, who could hind a trout and bring down an antelope with the best of us. One day he got separated from the party, lost Ins way and spent the niht in the mountains. 11,. had with him u oS caliber rille, a good weapon for small game, but in the section where we were camped mountain lions were plentiful. His father was well nigh distracted, and We searched ail night long for the adven turous youngster without avail. Just at sunup we started to return to camp. As we descended a ravine we discovered the object of our M-arch, sound asleep, with his head pillowed on an enormous moun tain lion, which was curled up as though enjoying a nap. Three of us approached cautiously to within fifty yards, drew a bead on the animal, und at a given signal fired. I he brute never stirred. The bur whom we supposed dead, half rose, rubbed bis eyes and Inquired peevishly: ' bat are you fellers tryin t' dor I killed this jere lion lour lours ago.' " lie tint a Straight Tip.
