Editorials.
American exisu-ts still eoiitinuc
to clinil over the prob-etive ( 'liinese
wall of the Pingley law.
Of i-oursc the Dinghy law lias
nothing to do with the return of
proscrity, hut nevertheless it is
strange that they shoiil Ixitli come
along at nlxiiit the same time.
It is strange that the Democratic
editors and statesmen who are re
viling the Dinghy law as oppressive
and unconstitutional never advocate
a ret in n to the just and ample Wil
son law.
Mr. Urvaii ssivs, among other
P.riivnctic statements, that the first
six months of the McKinlev admin
istration was the most disastrous in
the history of the country. No
comment is necessary.
Monthly deficits will soon lie a
thing of the past. The Dingley law-
is getting into normal working or
der and is increasing its revenue
week liy week in a most satisfactory
manner to the friends of the meas
ure. "The revival of all industriesand
the commencement of prosperity in
all parts of the United States were
the natural and necessary results of
the action of the President and .a
Republican Congress." John Slier
' man. ' ' ' ' ' '
According to the 'official f reports
of tin' government, compiled under
a free-trade DeiiKM-r.it, the farmers
of the country lost in decreased val
ues one thousand million dollars a
year during the last Cleveland ad
ministration. Alabama is furnishing 20,000
tons of coal to Mexico for her rail
road locomotives in coniiction with
Knglish coal. Here is another ini
jKirtant American industry finding
a foreign market. Knglish coal
cannot successful coniK'te with the
products of the rich fields of the
South.
When a citizen in Mexico wants
to take a trip costing SI 00 he must
needs get together S'J.'O in Mexi
can money, every dollar of which
he works as hard for as an Ameri
can citizen works for a dollar, and
this is free-silver prosperity. The
jM-ojile of the United States will lie
a long while accepting this kind of
prosperity.
It is a simple matter of Ameri
can history that Democratic free
trade or low taritl has brought just
such depression in a greater or less
degree as was exjicrienccd under
Wilson-CSoriiianism, while llepubli-
-an protective tariffs have brought
just such prosperity as was witness
ed under the McKinly law, and is
now coming lack again under the
Dingley protective taritl.
Postal Banks in a Campaign.
In the rth Illinois district a cam-
p-ngn tor congressman is in progress
to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Congressman Cooke. The
sentiment for ostal savings lanks
is so strong in Chicago that Ixith
arty platforms pledge the candi
dates to work for them ifcicctcd. In
a rm nt hpe li Henry S. Hoiitell,
the republican candidate, said:
"The oople demand that Con
gress at its next session shall provide
for the establishment of jKistal sav
ing Irfinks under the control of the
jiostoflice department, and a measure
smallest dejsisits would Ik; in exact
accordance with the principle which
should characterizeall our legislation
namely, the prelection of the weak
est. If we protect the weakest, we J
protect all."

AN ANACONDA'S WRATH.
Huge Keptlla Irjarrn a Mn and Kill m
Trick Pony.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov 15. A huge
anaconda, on exhibition n a museum
h're, severely Injured Samuel Masher,
the museum watchman, and crushed to
death a valuable trick pony. The pony
was tied to a feed box alongside the
anaronda's cage. Musher saw the rep
tile had worked one of the boards of
its cage loose and had stretched Its
tail out a short distance. He pushed
the board, believing the anaconda
would crawl within the cage again. In
stead, it wriggled out and wrapped
Itself several times about Masher. The
latter screamed for help, and the pony,
frightened by the big reptile, began
Jumping about. This probably saved
Masher's life, for the reptile unwound
Itself from him nnd completely encir
cled the pony. Masher fell to the floor
unconscious, while the big snake con
tinued to crush the pony until life was
extinct.
When a number of the employees
reached the scene the snake had begun
to unwind Itself and appeared to he
getting ready for more fight. The men
kept aloof until a lasso had been ob
tained and the anaconda finally made
secure. Several of Masher's ribs were
broken, and he was removed to a hos
pltal. '
