American exports still continue to
climb over the protective Chinese
wall of the Dingley law.
Of course i ha Dingley law has
nothing to do with the return of
prosperity, but nevertheless it is
strange that they should both ooine
along at about the same time.
It is strange that the Domocratio
editors and statemen who are revil
ing the Dingley law as oppressive
and unconstitutional never advocate
a return to the just and ample Wil
son law.
Mr. Bryan says, among other
Bryanetio statements, that the first
six months of the McKinloy admin
istration was the most disastrous in
the history of tho country. No oom
ment is necessary.
Monthly deficits will soon be a
thing of the past. The Dingley law
is getting into normal working or
der and is increasing its revenue
weok by week in a most satisfactory
manner to the friends of the moos
nre.
"The revival of all industries and
the commencement of prosperity in
all parts of the United States were
the necessary results of tho action
of the President and a Republican
Congress." John Bhorman.
According to the official reports
of the government, compiled nndor
a free-trade Democrat, the farmors
of the country lost in decreased con.
sumption and decreased values one
thousand million dollars a year dur
ing the last Cleveland administra
tion.
Alabama is furnishing 100,000
tons of coal to Moxioo f or her rail
road looomotives in oompotUion
with English coal. Here is another
important American industry Jfiud

cannot successfully compote with
the products of the rich fields of the
South.
When a citizen of Mexico wants to
take a trip oosting $100 he must
needs got together $250 in Mexican
money, every dollar of which ho
works 03 hard for as an American
citizen works for a gold dollar, and
this ia free-silver prosperity. The
people of the United States will bo
a long while accepting this kind of
prosperity.
It w a simple matter of American
history that Doiuocrutio free trade

South ers Popullste continue to
express their antagonism to fusion
with Democrats. Congressman
Howard, an influontial Populist
from Alabama, ia quoted as saying
V.mt it will be impossible to again
draw tho Populists into support of
the Democracy. lie feels that his
p:irty has been botrayed by the
Democrats, and that the Populists
will never again support the Demo
crats in a national election.
Calamity has boon the cry of the
Domocratio orators in the recent
campaigns, from Bryan down. In
ono of his Ohio speeches, Mr. Bryan
dwelt exultantly upon the state
ment that whoat had fallon ten
cents bolow the dollar mark. It
happened to be a fact, however, that
at the time of his speech wheat had
ag.iiu advanced to tho dollar mark,
bat Mr. Bryau failed to notice this
unimportant fact.
THE RESULT OF ELECTIONS.
Probably every one by this time
has arrived at a satisfactory con
clusion ns to the reason for the
somewhat unexpected developments
in the elections held Nov. 2, The
surprisingly largo Swallow vote in
this State does not in our opinion
mean that Prohibition has gained
about niuoty thousand followers
within the past two years. These
ninety odd thousand are just as
good Domocrats and Republicans ns
thoy ever were, but they are men
who are dissatisfied with party man
agement, and opposed to the char
actor of the men placed in nomina
tion for local offices, and hence
wont to the polls and expressed
their feelings. It is a healthy sign
for the body politio when men are
independent enough of party tios to
robuke bossism in either party.
Organization is necessary to the suc
cess of any party but a thorough
organization need not mean, nor
should it, the absolute dictation of a
few men as to who shall bo its nom
inees, and the aggrandizement of
thoir friends only. The sooner
stite municipal and local govern
ment is placed in the hands of mon
who desire to Borve the best inter.
ests of their constituents and the
taxpayers, will the people realize
the benefit of having publio offices
honestly and economically adminis
tered. The voters are in the end
responsible for tho manner in which
they are governed, and the way in
which taxes are expondod.as well as
for the character of their servants',
aud they are right in rebuking the
party bosses who fail to appreciate
their wolfare and interests.
OH ! OH ! MONROE. HOW
COULD YOU DO SO I
That our neighboring county, that
fastness of Democracy, should elect
a straight Republican over a straight
Democract to the office of Associate
J udgo should be set down as one of
tho wonders. Yet so it is. Theo
dore Y. Hoffman at the late oloction
dofeutod Hon. Barnet Mansfield by
120 majority. The Press has spoken
a good word for "Barney" too, but
evidontly the people of good old
Monroe are waking up to the fact
that it ia just possible to improve on
some of their Democratic office
holders, aud we will not for a
moment attempt to gainsay that
conclusion. When the peoplo of
that county wanted a new court
house built in an economipil man
ner they elected a Republican board
of County Commissioners, and the
result was in every respect satis
factory. The late Judge Dreher
than whom Monroe never produced
an abler lawyer, a better Judgo or a
more upright citizen especially com
mended the work of those Republi
can commissioners, and the build
ing stands a jnonumeut to the good
sense of the taxpayers who entrusted
the work to their nanus, do on.
Monroe ! plow deeper turn under
tho rank growth of Democracy
which fur over sixty years has been
luxuriating on your soil and see if
you cannot raise a better crop.
We are pushing toward the saint
end in Pike. We hoar the sonnd o
the pibroch, the Campbells are com
ing. Our Domocrntio friends and
their organ here shouted for "Lon"
and he was elected. We assume lie
is the flower of their flock, and.we
only hope thoy will continue making
such nominations a few years lon
ger.
Judge elect Hoffman of Monroe
will grace tho bonch with intelli
gence and adorn it with a fairness
and discretion which will redound to
the credit of all those who aided in
his eloction.
Do Snaket Swallow Their Young f
This subject is frequently dis-
oussed and it is assorted that in
times of danger the young snakes
are provided a refuge in the stomach
of the old ones where they curl
themselves tip in the form of a ring.
W. P. Miller, of Central Texas, writ
ing in the Agriculturist, soys they
have there quite a varioty of snnkos
and that he has examined all the
vnrietios iound in that section dead
and alive, old and young, in their
native woods.os well as in his bands
and has potted, dissected, skinned
and made a careful study of all tho
various kinds, but has never found a
single case of a snnke swallowing
its young, except for food, and then
thoy kill them first. Ho further
says that the highest authorities on
snakos do not reoord a cose of
snakes swallowing their young to
protect them. Ho thinks the young
do not stay with the parent snake
after they are hatched or born, the
watersnakes young nro brought
forth alive, for ho has found little
ones which did not jseem to be more
than a week old.

SIR WILFRID'S VISIT.

OUR DISPUTES WITH CANADA.
The Coming; of th Dominion Prim Min

IMscqmIosi and ronilble Adjnutmnnt ol
Man Perplexing Controvnrslpa
Washington, Nov. 10. The com
lnsrof 8lr Wilfrid Iaurler, premier o!
Canada; Sir Ixuts Havles, minister ol
marine In the Laurler cabinet, and oth
er ofllclals of the Dominion, who have
Just arrived here, will have an Im
portant beRrlnff, not only on the Be
ring sea settlement, but on all the
pending questions v.hlch have been
sources of International complication
between the United Btates and Canada
namely, the passage of alien laborers
to and from Canada, the north Atlantic
fisheries question, the presence of
many Americans In the Klondike ter
ritory belonging to Canada and In the
mining regions of British Columbia, the
flBherles trouble along the great lakes,
the bonded privilege granted Canadlon
railroads, the controversy over rlKhts
In the Prosier river, British Columbia,
and In Puget sound, and the question
of a reciprocity arrangement between
the United Btates and Canada, The es
sential features of Blr Wilfrid's mis
sion were communicated to the officials
here by persons fully advised of the
premier's plana, and it can be sold that
tha suggestion (hat the decks be clear
ed of existing disputes between Cana
da and the United States met with the
favor of the administration.
While the Bering sea settlement oc
casioned the visit of the Canadian pre
mier, the Canadian authorities attach
loss Importance to It than they do to the
other questions mentioned. They say
that the Canadian scaling Interest Is
confined almost entirely to the far west
ern territory, where the sealers lit out,
and that even there a considerable per
centage of the so called Canadian seal
ers hall from Seattle, San Francisco
nd other American "ports, who fit out
In Canadian ports under the British
Hag.
Among the plans suggested as a basis
of settlement Is that of an Indemnity
large enough to permit Canada to buy
out the sealers and retire them from
business. With this done, the United
States, Russia, Japan, Great Britain
and Canada would be together In a sup
presses of pelaglo sealing. There Is no
PREMIER LAURIER.
determination to advance this plan In
preference tb others, and the scope ot
the settlement will remain In doubt un
til the negotiations open.
ThrfcAllan Lbor Uaatlon
Premier) Laurler and his associates
will urge Wrongly that the border Im
migration question be .definitely settled.
Under the premier's direction the Cana
dian parliament passed an alien Immi
gration law last spring, by which Amer
ican contractors and American laboi
were barred from competing In the work
on the Crow's .Nest Pass railway, a gov
ernment undertaking In western Cana
da. On the other hand, It is claimed by
the Canadians that about 6,000 Amer
icans are In the Klondike territory be
longing to Canada and that fully 10,000
American contract laborers are work
ing In the mines of British Columbia.
The United States Immigration laws. It
Is asserted, are administered with
harshness along the Canadian border
and are a daily source of Irritation.
Blr Wilfrid, therefore, will suggest
that the causes of Irritation be removed
on both sides, and it Is understood that
he is prepared to offer a repeal of Ca
nadian restrictions In the Klondike and
other regions If the administration of
the American law Is made more lenient.
In this connection the co-operation of
the United States Is desired In the plans
ot the Canadian authorities to make an
easy route to the Klondike. The pro
posed route Is by boat from Fort Wran
gle to the Sttckene river, United Btates,
and up the Stlckene via TaBland lake
to the Yukon river and thence to the
goldflelds. As the Stlckene river Is on
American soli, It la desired to overcome
any possible controversy, although the
treaty ot Washington Is said to make
the navigation of the river free to the
Canadians and Americuns alike.
Regarding the matter of reciprocity,
the general purpose of the negotiations
will be to give the United States tjie
benefit of the minimum clause of the
present Canadian law In exchange for
the 20 per cent reduction allowed under
the Dingley law. The desire of Sir
Wilfrid and his associates will be to
confine the arrangement to a few Im
portant articles, allowing time to de
velop Its usefulness and extend Its
scope. On the part of Canada the arti
cles likely to be proposed for reciproci
ty are fish, coal, lumber and barley. On
the part of the United States the arti
cles likely to figure In the negotiations
are coal, coal oil, corn, railway, and
electrical supplies, machinery of all
kinds, agricultural Implements, native
woods, watches, clocks, cotton and cer
tain forms of iron and steal. The Ca
nadian law permits a one-eighth reduc
tion of duties thlB year and one-fourth
reduction next year to such countries
as give advantage to Canada. At pres
ent British goods get this reduction,
Matolle American goods do not.

WRECK OF THE IDAHO.
Nineteen Idvcs Lost In m Terrlflo Gala
on Lake Erie.
Buffalo, Nov. 8. In one of the most
terrific stormB ever experienced on Lake
Erie, the steamer Idaho of the Western
Transit line foundered and sank In
eight fathoms of water off Long point,
a very dangerous promontory about 65
miles west of here. Of the crew of 21
but two were saved. These clung to a
spar for eight hours when they were
discovered by the lookout on the Mari
posa of the Minnesota line.
The drowned were: Alexander Gillies,
captain, of Buffalo; George Gibson, first
mate, of Buffalo; William Clancy, chief
engineer, of Buffalo; John D. Taylor,
steward, of Buffalo; Nelson Skinner.
first assistant engineer, of Auburn;
Richards, fireman, of Ogdensburg;
Louis Gilmore, watchman; Kichard Mc
Lean, wheelsman; Robert Williams,
wheelsman; A. J. Richard, lookout;
Henry Thomson, lookout; Conrad Blan
ker, fireman; William Gregory, fire
man; John llealy, assistant steward;
Frederick Miffort, oiler; Edward Smith,
deckhand, Rochester; M. Bell, deck
hand. The names of two of the men
drowned are unknown to the steamship
company. One was a deckhand and the
other a porter.
The names of the two men saved are
Loials La Force, Jr., second mate, and
William Gill, a deckhand, living In
Rochester.
The rescued merf were brought to this
port by the steamer Mariposa.
The second mate, Louis La Force, told
a harrowing story to the crew of the
Mariposa. He said that in the rush of
the men from the hold, one of them, a
watchman, was trampled to death. The
crew was frantic to get out of the
place. Six or eight, he said, must have
been drowned like rats In the hold.
They were nut warned of the sinking of
the boat. The first king dtp of the stern
was the first Intimation they had that
tho final danger was at hand, and then
they made a grand rush to got on deck.
The hatchway was too small to let them
through together, and the result was
that one of them was trampled to death
and Bevel al were left to drown.
Alexander Gillies, the captain of the
111 fated Bteamer, was one of the most
widely known of the lake seamen. He
was 41 years old and knew the take
waters like a book. His brother, Don
ald Gillies, is captain of the steamer
Harlem.
Nelson Skinner, first assistant en
gineer, lived at Auburn. He had been
an engineer on the Rome, Watertown
and Ogdensburg road and the Lehigh
Valley road, but left the service last
August. His fireman, whose name was
Richards, lived at Ogdensburg and was
the son of Captain Richards of the tug
Thomas Wilson, which piles on Lake
Ontario.
Durrani Moat auavr Daath Penalty.
Ban Francisco, Nov. 9. The news
that the United States supreme court
had decided not to interfere with tha
execution of Theodora l)urrant, con
vlctod ot the murder ot Blanche La
mont, was not unexpe.d here, and
apparently only Durrant and his at
torueys seemed to have any hope that
the murderer would bu saved from the
gallows. The decision of the supreme
court has paved the way for the exe
cution of five other murderers who
have been sentenced to death, but
whose executions have been deferred
pending the duciulun tu tho Durruut

Prevention is always better than

But no many times pneumonia is not

of Ayer'3 Cherry Pectoral.
" Some years ago I had a severe cold and
