General Weaver, the Presidental candi date of the People's party, has been prose cuting a canvass at once stirring and pic turesque. General Weaver is a born fighter and alnavs fights best when the odds are against him. His nomination was a con sistent, legal and proper one, and he has qualities which make him immensely popu lar with those who share his peculiar ideas. He has been an agitator for 15 years, five times a candidate for Congress and once be fore au aspirant for Presidental honors. He was the Presidental candidate of the Green back party in 1880 and polled over 300,000 votes. While member of the Honse General Weaver was one of the greatest powers in that body, and often proved more than a match for the rest of the House and the Speaker thrown in. He surpassed Holman as an objector, was a harder kicker than Kilgore, of Texas, even in his most 'am bitious moments ever hoped to be, and could out filibuster all other filibustered at a time when the rules made it possible for one man to completely block the business of the House.

An Incident In the Alps showing the Timely Use of a Stimulant In the old drenching times of Tod, when patients used to get their bottles ot brandy in the 21 hours, a comparison of the kind would have been ot extreme value; but the routine treatment of inflamation by alcohol ia now a thing of the past, and, as a rule, we merely look out for special symptoms and complications, and meet them as they arise, says a writer in Blackwood's Magazine. But as a contribution' to the discussion, let me quote Brudenell Carter, who quotes Dr. Braun, of Moscov, wlio says that he had 45 per cent of bad ases alter the eye opera tions among the peasants until hegave them wine or brandy, when the percentage fell to 6 Der cent " In tfie sudden collapse of fainting or snake bite, or when any one is called on to make a violent physical effort almost beyond his powers, alcohol shows its power. Swiss guides well know the help that a mouthful or two of white wine gives them, and I re member an incident in the Alps where a timely stimulant probably saved three lives. We were rashly struggling up an ice slope without guides and the first man on the rope an experienced mountaineer, vigorously cut steps while we shivered in our places, dodg ing the falling chips and trying to feel brave and happy. Suddenly theound of the axe stopped and a voice tell clear and sharp from aloft "Brandy at once or I can't go on!" Luckily we had it, and a sip or two set him right, but, as he told us afterward, so overpowering was the feeling of exhaustion that he could hardly have raised his arm, or even remained much longer in his place without the stimulant, which fortunately was at hand. As we were at the moment half way up a perpendicular wall nearly 200 feet high,-with little but a narrow ledge to protect us from a frightful precipice be low, I invite your readers to picture for themselves what the consequences of an ac cident would have been.' The Author of Waverley Novels. It was in J827, and at a theatrical fund dinner in Edinburgh, that Sir Walter Scott declared himself to be the author of the "Waverley Novels." This is the speech he made on that occasion: "I did not expect, on coming hereto-day, that I should have to disclose a secret. Now that it is out, however, I beg leave to observe that' I am sole and undivided author of these novels. I confess I am gnilty, and am almost ab-aid to examine the extent of my delinquency.

THE MODERN MAZEPPA, OR THE MAN WANT OF CONFIDENCE. That Is Why the Iron Industry of Canada Is ffot Developed, L SBE HAS NATURAL RESOURCES, - Eut Still I acts a Tariff Fnfficiently High to Iicludotlio UiPORTATTON 'OP FOREIGN GOODS. frnnTii'sroitnitNCi! or tux nisrATCH .1 Tokonto, Ont., Oct 28. As salutary as have been the effects of the adoption of a policy for the protection of native Canadian industries, there is occasion for the obser vation that of this policy it may be said, "Ifn little is good, more is better." This is singularly true of the development of the iron industry in the Dominion, particularly in the Province of Ontario. One condition needful to bring about the establishment of extensive iron producing plants is the revision of existing tariffi to such an extent I and in the direction of affording an apportun- ities that will permit capitalists to establish furnaces that can be operated under condi tions similar to those existing in the United States. It may be said, however, that even with the protection which a high tariff af fords, there must be reasonable assurances as to the stability of the policy. There is already a feeling of uncertainty through out the province with respect to the contin ance of the present schedules of protective tariff To this feeling '"more possibly than to the present moderate rates of pro tective duties, may be ascribed the absence of any material progress in tho develop ment of the iron producing industry in the Dominion. The Tariff Not High Enougli. The capitalists of Canada, or for that mat ter of anywhere else, are disinclined to make the enormous investments necessary in this bussiness, knowing that there is every assurance that a change in government would in all probability result in a reduction and, perhaps, even a total withdrawal of protective duties. The markets ot Canada would then become open and the furnaces of the protected United States would ship their products across the border at sneh prices that would make competition out of the question. The extent of this feeling of uncertainty, or more properly speaking, dread, that the protective duties will be removed by change of government.is best illustrated in the fact that notwithstanding the protective duty of $4 50 per ton to keep foreign pig iron out and a bonus of S3 per ton to encourage the manufacture of domestic pig, there ia to-day not a single iron furnace in the Province of Ontario. Their absence is due to this sole lact, and not to the lack of natural condi tions that would otherwise render their es tablishment possible, and, there is every reason to believe, profitably. The deposits of minerals throughout the provinces are rich even beyond estimation. Wonderful Natural Besources. In that part of the province of Ontario lying west of Ottawa are found beds of ore that are easy of access and practically in exhaustible. Along Lake Hipissing are found masnetite and hematite; in Bideau countv, Ontario, specular; in the Marmora regiom bog ore, a variety of hematite, while distributed elsewheie in the provinces are found iron sand, titamiferous and spattio ores. In the provinces of Nova Scotia, British Columbia, New B.rtinswick and in the Northwest are inexhaustible deposits of coal, ranging in quality from lignite to bituminous, and including vast beds of anthracite. These sources of snppjy of raw materials are already available, being on the lines of the Trans-Continental, Canadian Pacific or the Grand Trunk Rail way, and are, in fact, awaiting the utiliza tion bv man. Under the protection of the national policy there has been a vast development in manufacturing lines. Ia the industries in whloh Iron" nd steel enter 10 largely th It --Jh AND THE TIGER. Kcw York Advertiser. raw materials have been imported from across the border orhe sea, instead of be ing produced at home. Up to a few years ago there were but about a dozen iron foundries distributed throughout the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, Mon treal, Toronto and Hamilton leading in the number and capacity oi these establish ments. Increaso In Number of Iron Foundries. Now these establishments nnmber dozens, and from the primitive form they have been added to and enlarged until they now include great forges, rolling mills, nail works, malleable ironworks, but wltn tne exception of the product of a single fnrnaie in Nova Scotia and three others in the Province of Quebec, the whole supply of pig iron wed in these establishments has came from the United States or abroad. The production of pig iron in the Domin ion has never reached proportions which can be considered as affecting the industrial progress of the country. This statement will, perhaps, be better understood when it is known that the total production of pig iron in the provinces during the year 1890 was only 21,772 tons. These fisuret sink into insignificance when compared with the monthly report of any one of your mam- motn 1'UtsDurg iiirnaces. xneyat tne same time serve to very forcibly illustrate the possibilities of Canadian pig iron produc tion, were the conditions such that a devel opment of the industry compatible with the needs of native non-using establishments alone would be rendered possible. Only One Furnace Producing Coke Fig. The principal establishment for the pro duction of pig iron, and in fact the only one producing coke pig, is at Londonderry, Nova Scotia. This furnace was established years ago by English capitalists and is still operated by them. Aside from this there are three charcoal iron furnaces. There is one at Radnor and one at Three Rivers on the north shore of the Sf. Lawrence. .The third is on the south bant of the St Lawrence, all three furnaces being lu the vicinity of Montreal. Illustrating alike both the need of even higher protection and the distrust that manufacturers have ot a continuance of the protective polioy.the decline in pis: iron pro duction during the past few years may be noted. In 1890 the four furnaces in blast in Canada produced 21,772 tons of pig iron, as compared with 25,921 tons made in 1889. Daring 1890 the exports of iron and steel goods manufactured in Canada amounted in value to 5133.724, but the imports during the same period reached $13,835,493 in value, on which $2,721,109 in duty was paid. The pig iron production in 1889 was valued at 52,210,062, but in 1890 it had dropped to 331.68a Continuance of Protection Uncertain. With the inviting field which iron manu facturing promises under favorabie condi tions, capitalists and manufacturers are revolving in their minds reasons why Can ada should not takeher place in this in dastrv; whi h her importance as a na- I tion and her own natural resources demand that she should have. However elaborate these reasonings may be or the deductions therefrom, the philoso phizer on industrial conditions is confronted finally with the fear that when the Liberal succeeds the Conservative party in the management of governmental affairs the protective policy will be abandoned. Some what significant of this feeling, and at the same time a little curious as to motive or design, is the effort of some Canadians in terested in the manufacture of hollow ware and other household hardware to either have the duty ot 4 50 on pig iron removed or the duty on their particular wares raised. " They have made formal requests to the Government of Ottawa lor this change, supporting their petition with the asser tion that American castings are being sent over the border cheaper even, duty paid, than tbey can manufacture them here. American Manufactures In Canada. That some American manufacturers are not so imbued with the'fear ot a change of Canadian policy is evidenced by the fact of the establishment here of several concerns capitalized and managed bv people from the States. A notable instance ot this is in the line of l:ctrical development, a number of the largest companies having started manufactories in Canada.

Labor How i wish the other dear amples might be enumerated, bnt these will serve the purposes of illustration, all of which makes apt the inquiry: If the manu facture of that class of goods, in which pig iron, steel billets, eta, are such compo nents, is so prosperous under Canadian tariff, why need not the production of these raw materials be made equally so? There is no apparent reason why pig iron should not be made as cheaply here as in the States. The natural advantages are equal, if not superior, and given other con ditions equivalent to those enjoyed n the States and there would Homesteads, Braddocks and Johnstowns spring up in all sections of Canada. John L. Gans. P0IS0NLESS CIGARS. A Prominent 'Physician's Suggestion to Get Kid of the Nicotine Successfully Adopted It Is a Double Sweating Process Men like the New Brand. In the fertile brain of Dr.. & Weir Mit chell was conceived some time since the idea of an anti-nicotine cigar, which is now in great demand among inveterate smokers, says the Philadelphia Becord. The illustrious neurologist numbers among his patients many suffering 'from nervous diseases, the result of excessive smoking. To these he was wont to say: "You must give up smoking altogether, if you wish to regain your health." The patients demurred. The doe tor admitted it was rather hard, and began to look about for some alternative plan. He felt that if a clear conld be manufact ured from which all or the greater por tion of the nicotine were extracted the efleet upon the smoker would be practically harmless. The idea was explained to a well-kmown local manufacturer, who at once had the cigars made after the plan suggested by Dr. Mitchell. Th6 Vuelta Abajo tobacco, used for the filler, and the Connecticut wrapper are subject to what is termed the "double re sweating" process. The materials are placed in a steam room for four or five hours, after which they are taken out and subjected to a natural drying for a day or two. This operation is thrice repeated, after which the tobacco is considered prac tically free of nicotine. Many prominent men have tabooed 'the stronger brands for the new cigar without prescription and through choice. The man ufacturer estimates his sale for the first three months at 1,000 boxes. TH3 EHD OF AS EPOCH. The Death of Curtis and Whlttler Leaves Them Without Successors. Boston Herald. The sadden, though not unexpected, death of two men, who were the last of their generation in the lines of activity which they followed, shows that we have really come to the end of an epoch, or rather of two epochs. Mr. Curtis was the last of the great Lvceum force which did much to prepare the way for the unattached schools, which are now universal, and Mr. Whitticr was the last of our American poets who belonged to our literature for this century. He was the equal of his peers, and, though Dr. Holmes survives, he is not so exclusively a poet that we can rank him among the great poets of this century. Both Mr. Curtis and Mr. Whittier repre sent the end of an epoch. They have been chiefi and leaders in tha department of literary and public effort which they culti vated, and they have passed away without leaving anv person who takes their places. The lecture field has come to an end. Its legitimate function of agitation is better ac complished in-another way, and in respect of poetry it cannot be said that any of our younger writers command the attention of the nation as Lowell or Longfellow or Whittier did. We look in vain for the man whose bugle notes are universally listened to. Half a dozen poets may be named, but they have not the clear and' universal ntterance which introduces them to- national fame. It is in this sense that the departure of these two men is to be "regarded as the end of an epoch. They are without successors, and we are compelled to look out on the future from a different point of view. Who shall forecast what the leadership shall be in the sphere in which then men held away?

WHAT BIS DEATH WOULD BRL3G. The Tretenders Really Have a Good Founda tion for Their Claim. ST0RT OP TOE E0TAL SUCCESSION Upon a very weak thread hangs the life of the little King ot Spain, and all the peo ple of that country are anxiously watching? his plucky fight for life and health. None watches more keenly, but with considerable less solicitude, than does the representati va of the dynasty of pretenders, who hava given Spain so much trouble since the year 1833. People of the piesent day are apt to look npon the Carlists as a lot of rebels. Tbey are rebels in-one sense, but there ia scarcely a prince in Europe to-day who has more claim to a throne than this same Don Carlos. He has all the royal rights, as far as they go, on his side, and if he and his followers, Bon Carlos. who are yet numerous, succeed in produs ing an insurrection sympathy may be ex tended poor little Alfonso, but Carlos Is the one who is actually entitled to it Here is the Carlist trouble in a-nutshell! When Charles IL of Spain died in 1700 without children, he bequeathed his crown, by will, to Pnilip V., Duke of Anjou. grand son of Louis XIV., of France. England fearing the results of a feasible union of France and Spain under one crown, tha famous Twelve Years' War of the Sueces- ' sion was commenced, and oceans of blood were shed before it was finally determined that Philip should occupy the throne of Spain, bnt only on condition of renouncing; all claim to the French succession; that tha Castilian crown should be limited to heirs male, and that in the event of Philip's death without male heirs the Duke of Sax ony should succeed. Both Spain and Franca solemnly assented to the agreement, and Philip became king. On his death Ferdinand VI. ascended tha throne; then Charles IIL and his son Charles IV., who in the year 1788 abdi cated in favor of his son Ferdinand VXL, who married four times, the last Queen Maria Christina of Naples beine the first to bear him issue two daughters, Isabella and Louisa Fernanda. In 1833 the King died, leaving a will which is strongly believed to this day to be a forgery concocted by tha Queen." It nominated his eldest daughter his successor, thus beyond doubt breaking the treaty of Utrecht an agreement which had been bought at the sacrifice of thou sands of lives and millions of money. The ambitious daughters had many fol lowers, and Carlos, brother of Ferdinand, and the rightful king, was'compelled to fly into Portugal where'he immediately after ward began the famous Carlist wars which have brought so much misery to Spain. Don Carlos retired to France in 1839, whera he died in 1855, leaving two sons Carlos and Juan. The former died childless, the succes sion going to his brother, bnt Juan re nounced it in 18G3 in favor of his son, tha Duke of Madrid, and present Don Carlos, or, as his followers term him, Charles VIL of Spain.
