Weaver Is a Born Fighter.
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. General Weaver hailonf been

The Party of Cold Water.
Butlittle has been heard from the Prohi
bitionists in the present campaign, at least
in the Eastern States. Perhaps this is in a
measure due to the fact that the head of the
ticket, General Bidwell, is essentially a
business man and not an orator. However,
they are conducting an active literary cam
paign and hope to poll au increased vote.
For the first time in its history the So
cialist Labor party has this year put in
nomination a Presidental and vice Presi
dental candidate. Simon Wing, who lives
in Boston and is a photographer, is the can

Matchett, a Brooklyn electrician, is the
Vice Presidental candidate. The national

throughout the country. The Socialists say
they will poll a quarter of a million votes

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.

Unique Collection of Clippings.
One of the most complete and unique
collections of newspaper clippings ever
made, perhaps, was damaged by fire ia Phil
adelphia recently. It belonged to an inva
lid'who for years has cut out selections from
the biographical, political and news matter
of different daily journals and pasting the
clippings so obtained on sheets of filing,
after the manner of a library card catalogue.
The owner, nothing daunted, has set bbont
buying old newspapers to rspair, as far as
possible, the gap caused by the fire.

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

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. A com
pany located in Waynesboro", in the rich
and highly protected Cumberland Valley,
in your own State, manufacturers of agri
cultural maohinery, are seeking a location

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

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?

ST0RT OP TOE E0TAL SUCCESSION
Upon a very weak thread hangs the life
of the little King ot Spain, and all the peo

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

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
