The misfortune that has befallen Governor McKinley, by which he will probably, through his kind-hearted will- ingness to assist his friend, be bank- rupted, only serves to bring out in a clearer light the character of a man whose popularity has been increasing as the public has become better acquainted with his merits, says the New York Advertiser. Major McKinley is a friend to all le- gitimate manufacturing enterprises. He was born in one manufacturing center and reared in another, and has by personal experience learned of the benefits which accrue to the commun- ity and the commonwealth by the pros- perity of industries. In his public career he has devoted himself to the perfectionof legislation in this inter- est, and he loses his private fortune in an attempt to build up a business which would promote the welfare of the workingman. His declaration that eyery dollar for which he is responsible shall be paid, even if it takes all that he has been enabled to accumulate, is only in harmony with the high charac- ter he has always maintained as a man of the strictest honor and’highest in- tegrity. Fortunately this reverse will not re- move Governor McKinley from the activities of public life. To the Nation this is an important matter. Invalua- ble as his services have already been, there is a feeling that he has but just entered upon a career of exceptional usefulness to his countrymen. The Re- public has need of him and men like him as it never had before. And that which has happened within the past few dayswill only comm end him still more strongly to the esteem, affection and confidence of his fellow citizens as not only an accomplished publicist but a man of the most exact~ ing sense of honor as well. Having suffered ourselves to an amount even beyond the extent accred- ited to Governor McKinley, in precise- ly the same direction, we know how to sympathise full well with any one of his high honor and sensitive nature. A Plea for the Democracy. We enter a respectful but firm pro- test against the groWing tendency on the part of Mr. Cleveland’s personal or- gans to condemn Democrats who criti- cise the appointment of Mr. Gresham, says the Washington Post. Of course Mr. Cleveland has the right to invite Mr. Gresham to enter his Cabinet. The President is responsible for his admin- istration, and Mr. Cleveland, more than any Executive who ever occupied the chair, regards Cabinet officers as the mere agents of his political plans. Nevertheless, the members of the party that elected him to the Presidency have some privileges also, and among these is the privilege of expressing their approval or disapproval of Mr. Cleve~ land’s public acts. The personal organs have a great ad- vantage at this time which they should not use too ruthlessly. They suppOrt' Mr. Cleveland, while they despise or only tolerate Mr. Cleveland’s party. If the latter had taken into his Cabi- net nct only Mr. Gresham, but Mr. Ingalls, Mr. Chandler, and three or four other anti-types of Democracy, the personal organs would still. have been in a position to commend, because they are committed to nothing but adu- lation of Mr. Cleveland and his acts. They are safe, whatever happens, and can be consistent no matter what Mr. Cleveland does. But plain, ordinary, hard-workin g Democrats, who believe in the party first of all and who think that leaders owe something to the or- ganization that created them, are not so comfortably situated. They re- member quite distinctly that Mr. Gresham has, often and without much ceremony, expressed his opinion of them, and they can hardly be expected to relish an appointment which not only ’puts a Republican at the head of the Cabinet, but makes him first in the line of succession to the Presidency should Mr. Clevf'eland and Mr. Steven- son through any causc become dis: qualified. -Thesc are hard days for stalwart Democrats and we feel for them. The ground hog saw his shadow on the 2d of February and went back into the hole again, and ever since the weather has been bitter. Mr. Morrison is snowed under. Isaac Pusey Gray goes off in a blizzard; The party lies in the bleak embrace of grip, and its war- horses all suffer with the pink-eye. Why, then, should the Mugwumps, the Anti-Shappers, and, generally, the small but superior army of fetich-wor- shipers. be hard upon the rank and file of the Democracy, who, after all, elected Mr. Cleveland, and who, con- sidering everything, are net complain- ing very much ? Of course we on let‘- stand that the Democratic puny got itself into the present predic 'lllclll} and has itself alone to thank. But human nature is stronger than philosophy, and the pill tastes no sweeter because the patient knows that he deserves it. 1' Let Democrats, therefore, be pa- tient and full of fortitude, but let the personal organs on their part remem- ber that the flesh is weak and be in- dulgent toward the fitful anguish of the'sufi‘erer. . ~—————i o > TERSE TALES OF THE TIMES.

But this has now got to be laid on the shelf with many an- other exploded theory for by an inven- tion of James B. Burr the clam can now be dragged from its lair at high tide as well as low, and can no longer gambol about in its native element in peace and. security. Mr. Burr has in- vented a contrivance that enables him to go on our shores at any time of tide and capture either hard or soft clams with greater ease ,, that ‘ was ever dreamed of by our fathers. It ism, metal cylinder with valves and han- dles whereby the» operator caueasily work it down into the sand or mud and when satisfied that the gay and festive clam is in the cylinder, by closing the valve can raise the entire contents to’ the top of the water or into the boat and then liberate instantly the load, pick up the clam and" again start for his prey. By this contrivance one can go out before the tide falls off entirely, particularly on the L. I. Sound side and catch clams fully an hour longer than is now possible. For the Great South Bay where the tide falls off low enough at rare intervals when the the wind is right the patent is a perfect blessing to the clam hunter. On Sat- urday of last week Mr. Burr went on the bay, cut a Small hole through the ice and soon possessed himself of a good bushel of large fat clams from a point where the water probably does not‘fall off low enough once in five years enough for him to use the clam hoe or other ushal appliance for get- ting thc bivalves.——Bay Shore (L.

WALKING IN AIR. . . " mo Fahynha, Do It and Many Other - Wondrous Things. , The Fahyahs are the greatest legal-de- mainlsts, necromancers and hypnotistl in the known world. ’ j ' . One of their principal feats 1% walking in the air. The Fahyah Who performs it lays fiat down with his face toward the earth for a minute Or "a' minute and a half, then arises, and forcing his arms against his sides, standing v‘ery erect, deliberately walks into the air as far as his power of endurance will permit him, at times reaching an altitude of from 250 to 400 feet, when he simply walksgdown again. _, ; At first I could hardly believe my eyes, and I thought Ihad indeed seena miracle performed. It took me over a year' to understand this feat, at the end " of which time I discovered that it was ac- complished ‘by a thorough knowledge of the electrical powers. They understand thoroughly the laws; of changing their electrified form from the positive to the negative by inhalation, and by that means, just the same as this universe is held in place by a congeniaL ity of those two forces, so they utilized them in the performance of this feat. To try and make it even clearer,.I will go into the philosophy of the trick ; start ing from the first principle of electrical law, congenislity; two persons are in- troduced to each other; instinctively . each party to the introduction knows whether there is a feeling of perfect congeniality or not; if there is a con- geniality, that proves that one is the positive and the other is the negative; if that feeling of congeniality is wanting, then they both possess similarly electri- fied forms, and naturally are repellent. Of course after associations may oft- times make two such similiarly electri- fied forms friends, but ’tis very rarely the case; the same law precisely that governs the feeling of these two .men who have been introduced to each other is that which controls and keeps the universe in place. . The world is supposed to be 25,0 miles in circumference, 8,000 miles, more or less in diameter; it revolves once around the sun in a year. ‘ That is a pretty rapid rate of speed it must be admitted, and naturally some force of electricity must be evolved; call it positive. five space must be negative; otherwise one would be repellent to the other and- we could not hold our place in the ter- restia‘l firmament. , N ow, if the world does hold its place by that law of electrical congeniality, why is it not possible for the man who possesses the knowledge of changing his electrical form from the negative (which we who inhabit the earth all are) to the positive by process of inhalation, which he does when he lies upon the ground, and then walk into the same space, by the same laws that hold that tremen- dous globe and all the other planets and stars in their place? That is the way, and .the only way, by which the Fahyahs perform this most wonderful feat—Cincinnati Enquirer. Cattle Qlllctetl \Vlth Song. " The signs of an approaching stam- pede,” says a cattle man, “ are familiar to every man who has been much on the trail. First a few cattle will begin to low, or rather to utter a sort of roar. All through the herd single animalswill get up and begin to move around. The others become restless, and if something is not done to check them the Whole herd will, within a short time, be rush- ing headlong over the plain. The most soothing influence that can be exerted is the human voice, and when these ominous mutterings are heard every one on night watch. begins to sing. It may well be imagined that cowboy music would have anything but a quieting effect upon musical ears, but it amply satisfies the cattle. As soon as songs are heard the nervous animals be- come quiet. One by one they lie down and soon all are at rest, fairly sung to‘ sleep. A peculiar feature of the singing is that every cowboy, no matter how rough and lawless, knows a variety of hymns, and it is with church music that the stampede is prevented.”—-Chicago Tribune.

K Adrian has been spending a. few day! at Minnetonka and this is what happened to him: ’ He arrived at the lake late one night. It was warm and clear and everybody had gone away somewhere. He wanted to go in swiniming, so he sought a dark little cove, and, as no one was in sight, dispensed with a. bathing suit, but-kept strictly in the shadow. Inthe midst of his enjoyment he was horrified by the sound of two feminine. voices. He submerged himself to the tip of his blushing nose just as two young women he knew came skipping to the shore and plumped themselves down in the moonlight. He stood in the water and quakod' for what he says was an hour. Then one said: - “ Oh, Maude, isn’t this lovely?” . “ It’s ‘a perfect night. We’ll never have a better chance jinever.” “ Oh, I’m afraid.” ” Oh, bosh! Every soul is in bed.

If you can fancy cold drops of perspiration starting out on a. man under water that’s how that man felt. A horrible fear flashed over him and it became an awful certainty when the voice went on: “ 0h, Maude, I’m awfully scared.” ” Why, what a conventional girl you are. If you’re such a ’fraid cat we can go over in that little cove where it’s dark.” Then that man lifted up his voice—or at least he says he did—and screamed: “ Ladies ! You are observed 1” There were two sudden screams and one mad rush for the rock, and tlfen a quivering voice said: “ If—if you age a gentleman you will remain where you are, sir."

Near the town of White Oaks, N. 1.1., lives one of the most remarkable women even of this most remarkable age. The house in which she lives, a low, white- walled adobe building covered with green vines and fitted out with rich carpets, artistic hangings, books and pictures, exquisite china and-silver, and all the dainty belongings with which a refined woman loves to surround herself, was built with her own hands. The huge ranch on which it is_located, with 8,000 cattle, is managed entirely by her. It is she who buys or takes up the land, - selects and controls the men, buys, sells and transfers the cattle. She is also 'a. skillful and intelligent prospector, and found the valuable silver mine on her territory, in which she now owns a half interest. She sings charmingly, accomo panying herself on the piano or guitar, and handles a cambric needle or a water color brush as dexterously as she uses an adze or a. j‘ackplane. She entertains de- lightfully at her home whist parties, lit- tle dancas and even. an occasional ger- ma-n. Her name is Mrs. Barber, and she has been twice a widow.
