TnK democrats were miying a few

This is a republican year.
An ex:hanne says: "GoTcrnor
Koies, of Iowa, has not a hair on

lake a team. Hill's head is nearly
in the hairless condition of Hoies'

Rhode Island's election was ear

which it would pronounce would be
a "snap" for them, but they were
mistaken.
TllK Macon (Ga.) Telegraph
sounds a note of alarm. It says
"democrats had better quit jump

on the third party." The third
party is troubling the dreams of
southern bosses just now.
ALL the "good Western men" who
kave been "mentioned" for the dem

renegades. To this condition of
humiliation and inipotency has the

TlIEKK is democratic harmony in
Indiana now as well as in New
York and Nebraska; in fact New
Jersey is about the only state out
side of the south that democratic
harmony does not prevail in and it
is the only one the democrats can
carry this fall.
In January and February, 1891,
the United States sold 5,753 bags of
flour to Cuba and Europe sold
50,255 bags. In the same months
of 1802 the sales were 80,643 bags by
the United States and 100 by
Europe. The tables, that is to eay,
have been completely turned.
Europe virtually had all this trade
a year ago, while this country has
all of it now. That treaty with
Spain on Cuba's account has made
the change. Reciprocity has done
the business.
Next Sunday is Easier and in
Europe, time out of mind, Easter
has been regarded as a gift-giving
season second only to Christmas.
Like most of the Old World cost ins
this one has at last crossed the At
lantic, and our Eeastern cities are
adopting it rapidly ami extensively.
It is founded on the highest and
most exalted Mentinieiits in human
nature. Easter is the sequence and
realization of the hopes to which
Christinas gives birth, and thegifts
which are bestowed to tell of the
advent of Christmas may well be
repeated to emphasize the fact of
Easter.
DEMOCRATIC HARMONY.
As usual democratic harmony
prevails in Douglas county as well
as in Cass county and the result in
Omaha last Saturday was that two
Hets of delegates were chosen to the
state democratic convention. At
the convention in Omaha, Gover
nor Boyd was there and took a hand
' in having harmony, he being in
dorsed as a delegate at large, and
the Martin men, headed by T. J.
Mahouey, bolted, leavmgthe hall in
a great hurry; in fact the harmony
was so great that the chairman and
seargent at arms had to call in the
police so that business could be
transacted. The Martin men swear
that harmony will prevail at
the state convention, where both set
of delegates should be thrown out.
That's right, gentlemen, keep it up
and harmony will prevail at Chicago
tv June also.
That reciprocity is not a "sham,'
assume democrats have declared'
is hhown by the latest report of the
bureau of stastistics. Under the
agreement with Spain the reduced
duty on Hour to Cuba went into
effect January 1, and in two months
our exports of Hour to that island
increased in value, as compared
with the same months of the pre
vious year, from $77,0110 to $443,000.
Th js was a single item of our export
trade, one which had been for years
controlled by the Spanish govern,
nient for the benefit of Spanish pro
ducers, who enjoyed the benefit of
discriminating duties and dues.
The reciprocity arrangement with
Spain for the benefit of the West
Indian possessions covers a good
many other items beside Hour, and
the exports of all these show an in
crease amounting in the aggregate
for eight months ending February
20 during the first two mnnths of
which the reciprocity agreement
was not in operation to over $1,X1,.
000. The new commercial policy of
our country is working right along,
to the confusion and discomfiture of
t? opponents.-Omaha Hee.
FOREICN COMMERCE.
Free traders tell us that if we do
not buy we cannot sell, that a pro
tective trade strangles foreign com
merce. Hut, as usual, their state
incuts are contrary to fact and
figures.
Everhody buys where he can do
so most advantageously. We are
now exporting nearly a thousand
million of dollars' worth annually,
more than ever before in our history
and more per capita.
We are importing more than ever
before, too, but with this difference:
Our free imports have largely in
creased, while our dutiable imports
have decreased, both of which are
to the advantage of American labor
and industries.!
Our balance of trade has for some
time been on the right Bide, and is
constantly increasing.
For this the McKinley tariff and
reciprocity are in a large measure
responsible.
We are now making and export
ing goods we used to buy.
UncleSamisdoinga larger busi
ness at home and selling more
goods abroad. This is just the sort
of "strangulation" we like.
We are importing industries now
instead of goods, and our lakorers
and farmers are reaping the benefit.
And our tarilf is what has brought
it all absut.
On the other hand, free trade
would hare, and has had, just the
opposite effect. Then there would
be an adverse balance of trade. We
would buy abroad instead of produc
ing at home. Our mills would be
closed and our workman idle.. We
would then see "strangulation," and
with it poverty and ruin.
Next November our voters will
decide whether we continue the
policy of protection and reciprocity
and a favorable trade balance, or
whether we adopt free trade and an
adverse balance of trade, with all
that must accompany it. American
Economist.
RECIPROCITY GAINING GROUND
The Hon. Edward II. Conger,
United States minister to Brazil,
was in Washington from Saturday
t Monday, en route to his home in
Iowa on leave of absence. Mr.
Conger says that the opposition to
the reciprocity treaty among the
foreign merchants of Brazil is rap
idly dying out, and the English and
German importers are now sending
to the United States for goods in or
der to secure the advantage of the
treaty. The increase in trade has
been so rapid that the Brazilian
Steamship company, which for
merly sent but three steamers a
month to Brazil, is now sending
fourteen. Mr. Conger sij-s that
Brazil will make a splendid exhibit
at the world's fair. He had an in
terview with the president the day
before his departure on some mat
ters of official busines, and the lat
ter took occasion to say that he felt
a grtat personal interest in having
Brazil properly represented, and
should do everything he could to
send a fine exhibit.
NOT A TAX ON CALICO.
The American Economist, the
best exponent of the American sys
tem of protection, takes a working
girl's dress and teaches a practical
tariff lesson. Its text is: "The
Tariff is Not a Tax." This working
girl's dress is made of calico, good
American made calico. The duty
on the calico, McKinley law, is five
cents a yard. The retail price of the
goods is actually only three and
three-fourths cents a yard. This is
one and one-fourth cents a yard
less than the amount fthe tariff.
The free traders say that the tariff
is a tax and that this tax is added to
the price of the goods. In the case
of this calico the tariff, five cents,
iB certainly not added to the selling
price, for the price is less thau five
cents. If the free traders were right
the urice of the calico would be at
least eight or nine cents a yard.
This shows that the democrats are
not right, that the are all wrong
when they say that the tariff is a
tax. The case of the calico dress is
so plain that every ian, worn in
and child, everybody except a con
firmed free trader, can see it.

The uew emperor, on monntiug Un

imagine him learning his trade in some
machine shop, then rapidly rising to a
position where inventive talent, thor
oughness, patience and, above all, hon
esty tell say, at the head of some great
manufacturing or shipbuilding enter
prise. On his succession to power, 1888, he
did what most intelligent young men do
when suddenly placed in charge of an
estate. He inquired how the previous
manager had done his work; he exam
ined personally into cases of alleged
wrong; he noted carefully the testimony
of qualified observers; hia eyes were
opened to the need of reform in many
directions; he suggested these reforms
to hia manager; the managor did not
agree with the master; the manager re
signed and now spends his time in em
barrassing as far as he can the move
ments of the manager who has super
seded him. The immediate cause of
Bismarck's resignation will be known

Modern Cloud Compellera.
A curious and interesting experiment
was tried early one morning at the Jar
dine d'Acclimitation. Borne ingenious
person has hit upon a scheme for mak
ing artificial clouds for the warming of
fields and preventing damage to crops.
A number of stoves had been placed ten
yards apart around the spot selected,
and when they were lighted a thick
black smoke was produced. Unfortu
nately for the successor the experiment,
there was too much wind, and tlio
"clouds" were disjR'rsed immediately,
the smoke being blown toward the iu

The British legation building in Wash

late Duke of Clarence, but everybody
doesn't seem to know it. Last week when
a visiting delegation was there, two dele
gates, whether they were from Chicago
or not it is not necessary to state, were
showing each other the town. As they
passed along Connecticut avenue one of
them said:
"That big brick over there with the
portico-chere in front of it is the English
legation."
"Is that so," said the other, taking it
in carefully as tourists do. 'It's got
mourning on it, I see."
"Yes," explained the first one with an
air of superior knowledge, "that's for
Justice Bradley, who died recently."

Growing a New Hoof.
A singular condition has developed iu
the buffalo herd at the Philadelphia Z .
Late in last year the hoof and mouth
disease affected the cattle of Europe
very seriously, and there were slight
visitations of it in this country. One of
these was at the Philadelphia Zoo among
the buffalo. Eight of the herd were
isolated. Since then the symptoms of
this disease have disappeared from all
but one of those isolated. This one,
however, has lost a hoof, and is now
hard at work raising a new one, hobbling
around on three legs. This is the only
case on record in America of a buffalo
losing a hoof and growing a new one in
captivity. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The Pogonip Fog.
The city of Carson, Nev., experienced
the other evening the thickest and cold
est pogonip fog "in the memory of the
oldest inhabitant." The pogonip fog is
peculiar to elevated altitudes in the Ne
vada Sierras, which is something for us
to lie thankful for. The jKjgonip ascends
fr sn ihe valleys, and its chill embrace
is soiuch feared by the Indians, who
are predisposed to affections of the lungs,
that they change their camp if apprised
by the atmospheric conditions that the
dreaded fog is approaching.
Odgen, a chemist of the Nevada min
ing bureau, furnishes this pleasing de
scription of the pogonip: "In the White
Pine mountains, tho Toyabi, the Myko
and the Parranagat ranges it is quite
common to see the trees, houses and
everything out in the open gradually lie
come white without any appareut cause.
There is no perceptible fog, but the hot
air from the valleys gradually ascends
np the mountain side, and becoming
crystallized, the minute crystals attach
themselves to anything in sight. This
phenomenon affects human beings in
just the same manner, aud wheu tho fog
passes by, the frozen particles will ad
here to the hair and clothing, producing
a very grotesque effect." Providence

Two Hindi of Italians.
The monument which is to be erected
in New Orleans in memory of the late
Chief of Police Hennessey is Hearing
completion at the works of the IlallowoU.
(Mo.) Granite company. The monu
ment has throe bases, tho lowest 1 feet
square. On the top base the name
"Hennessey" is chiseled in raised let
ters. The capital is two feet in height
with paneled sides. Surmounting the
capital is a plain granite column thirteen
feet in height. At the foot of the col
umn is tho cont of arms of Louisiana,
and above that is a representation of the
dead chief's badge. From the draped
top of the column are suspended a
policeman's belt and a club, like those
worn by the dead chief.
A singular circumstance in connection
with this monument is that seven of tho
nine men employed in making it are
Italians. Speaking of that, Joseph
Archi, who has charge of the work, said,
"The Italians who are doing this work
are of a different class altogether from
the New Orleans Italians who killed
Hennessey, and they are in perfect sym
pathy with the Americans who shot our
evil minded countrymen." Boston Tran
