A farce presented I y the members nf tlic democratic minority is on (Ik1 tapis fur this itk iiml promises something in tin1 nature 'if a relaxa tion fur the ri n t t l-n ?i members of congress. On Friday the fi ttmiiit (' on resolutions appointed nt tin1 I'c coniber cam us Is due to report and the simple between Tuitii 1111 tiy iui'1 Tex lis for the dictation of the party policy promises to he fl "merry war." The New Yorkers lesire to rid the putty of the free silver Ineiihus mid sever nil eonneetion with "die silver jawed onitor." The Toxnns ure whetting their oratorical bowie knives ind declare they will have the sculps of the "traitors" us they term the easterners. It will he remembered Hint among the resolutions presented hy Rcpre sentntive MoClellau, and which were recognized us having been dietnted ly Kdward M. Shepnrd, mid as liis first appearance in the arena of liu itotml polities whs one declaring In fitvor of the gold standard, this aroused the fury of the tlrey west erners iiml the oily diplomacy of Mr. Richardson alone prevented the burst ing of Hie cords with w hieli the dem ocratic leaders have attempted to bind together the populistic fiat money theorists and the remnant of the democratic party in the east, with a view to formulating a minor ity sufficiently coherent to worry the majority in their efforts to enact ne cessary legislation. That the demo crats will accomplish anything in their coming belated caucus, beyond further demonstrating the 'utter dis ruption of their party mid tiie antag onisms of its component factions is not expected. In the senate there are also signs of disruption in democratic ranks and a conspiracy lead by Senator Culberson, whose position as n mem ber of the important l'hilippines committee has materially strength ened hia influence, has been carefully mnrtured with u view to overthrow ing the leadership of Senator Jones and hiH colleagues, Cockrell of Mis souri and Daniel of Virginia, wlx forfeited the respect of the party by their readiness to supinely yield nt every point during the last session, wlien by vigorous resistance to tiie Spooner 1'hilippine resolution they might even have forced an extra session of congress. The hopeless passivity of the dem ocrats in the senate, which was brought out in the interview given your correspondent by Senator Vest of Missouri, published In these letters about a month ago, has proven a source of grave dissatisfaction to the democrats who believe that, not withstanding the sniallness of their minority, something might be ac complished in the way of hampering republican action. They consider thai even a vigorous resistance, would prove to the country Hint there was a democratic party in congress but In their attempts to do the spectacu lar they are more likely to disgust the people than to command respect, A view of the situation w hich never npeals to the younger and more reckless element of the party. The news that the Panama canal company lias determined to oifer its entire plant, rights and privileges to the 1'nitod Slates at the valuation of $ !0, 0(1(1,000 placed on them by Hie Isthmian canal commission has been received in Washington with the grentet satisfaction by the friends of the Panama route and their number is growing daily. Senator Morgan, whom 1 saw as sikiii as the news Was received, refused to express a further pihion, on the ground that as chair man of the committee which had tiie matter in charge and author of the Nicaragu.iti hill, it w ould In-improper for him to express bis views else V here than on the t.ir of the senate, niitl lie I'c.pJeslcd that no juotatiou .f Ids remai ks be m.vde in print hut there was twinkle in his eye w lien I coil;.' i a I dialed him t.n toe s'lre.

There is . doubt but that l-oth Nicaragua and Cn-la Biea mid Columbia desire the canal but nf course nil the countries invol ved w ill make the best terms possi ble with the Inited Slates. There fore I am opposed to burning our bridges behind us on either route. Having disposed of the 1 lay-l'auiue-fole treaty and secured a reasonable price on the French company's plant, why not nsk for proposals from the countries whose territory the routes traverse and then accept the most favorable? That seems to me the business like way of conducting the negotiations." Ii reply to a iptes tion the senator said: "Yon need have no fear that tiie senate will be precipitate in its action. This matter w ill probably be discussed all w it ter ami then I would not be surprised to see it referred to the president," t found Senator Mason preparing a speech on the subject of reciprocity which he expects to deliver in the senate to-morrow, apropos of the resuscitation of the reciprocal treaties which are now in the hands of the committee on foreign relations. "Reciprocity, ns conceived by Mr. Blaine and carried into effect by the McKinlcy tariff bill," he said "was never intended to sacrifice tiie inter ests of one small manufacturer for the benefit of the great manufactur ing concerns. In fact it was more in the nature of a negative power. It was intended to npply particular ly to our free list and authorized the president to impose retaliatory duties where foreign countries discriminated against our exports, as in the case of German and American pork. It enabled the president to impose, n retaliatory duty on sugar from the Danish possessions. Hut I must not anticipate my speech," he broke oil'. "That will be comprehensive and will clearly define my position " Senator Cullom has announced Hint he will endeavor to secure the attention of the senate for a discus sion Hiul disposal of the treaties al ready negotiated soon after congress convenes, lie would not say what, In his opinion, would be the probable action taken, but lie believes that something should tie done with the trealies tit once with n view to mak ing room for others if desired by the senate or of disposing of Hie subject. The general trend of his remarks would indicate that he was in favor of reciprocity In some form. Planting Tree on School Grounds The I'nited Statei department of agriculture, Gilford I'incliot, forester, has sent out a bulletin on tree plant ing on rural school grounds, which enters quite exhaustively on that subject and gives a number of cuts illustrating grounds with and w ith out ornamentation. It gives reasons for such planting, methods of prepar ation of soils, trees best adapted, sug gestions for their arrangement and care and many valuable hints and facts concerning tliein and their in fluence. The bulletin is No. l.'SI and can be obtained by addressing the department. There are more than double the number of smallpox cises in this country now tiian nt tho corro sponilmg time last year. The papers aiy that at Hackettstown, N. J., where the disease was brought in by n traveling troupe, that lit first the local physicians diagnosed the malady as ehiekenpoi and not until experts were brought in was it pro nounced genuine smallpox. Tins would seem to be a bid blunder on tho part, of tho bx'iil doctors and not roassnring as to tlieir knowledgeand skill. The Spirit of Winter. The Spirit of Winter is with us, making its presence known in many different ways sometimes by cheery minshine and glistening snows, and sometime by dtiving winds and blinding Btorms, To many people H seems to take a ile. liiiht in iiiakmg bud things worse', for rheumatism twists harder, twmpes sharper, catarrh becomes more imnoyiog, and the many symptoms of scrofula are developed land aggravated.

Humbert of this borough has begun an enterprise which should be welcomed and encouraged because of the benefits it may con fer on producers of fruits and veg etables. Ha has put up in elnss jars corn in tho ear, beans, toma toes, strawdierries, raspberries. wine, orange and lemon jellies and most excellent clam chowder. The goods nre cif finest quality and have a natural flavor. This business is susceptible of wide expansion and would prove a great boon to grow ers of small fruits and vegetables in this vicinity. An evaporating plant which would consume a large quantity of apples and fruits could also probably be made to pay well. His goods should receive the pat ronaga of people in this section and thus enable him to enlarge his busi ness. Special Memorial Services. Governor Stone has issued a pro clamation asking that schools ob serve January 20, the fifty-ninth anniversary of the birthday of tiie late president, as "McKinley day" and Mint on tho preceding Sunday special memorial services be hold in ail tiie churches and that on both occasiora opportunities be given to contribute to the fund for the erec tion of a suitable monument at his grave.

Mrs. Crttbari.ie It iwden, one of the three daughters of Jnliec, Rockwell, a soldier of the Revolution, died at the home of her niece, Mrs. Emma Crine, on Cookson street, Matamoras, Saturday, January s4th. She was iKirn in this town August 12, and July 7, IRtiO, she married, nt Ilonesdale, John Bowden. After some years the family removed to Stroudsburg, Pa., where her bus hand died in 1H75 and where she continued to live until recently when she went to Matamoras to live with her two sisters, Mrs. Valentine and Mrs. Gainsford, Who reside with their nieces, Mrs. John Bunnell and Mrs. Eninia Crine. She w ith her sisters has for years enjoyed the distinction of being the only three living children of a Revolutionary veteran. Her literary attainments were more than ordinary and .she is the authoress of several excellent poems. Her faculties were well pre served and she was able to see with out glasses and her hearing was practically unimpaired. Her father was born in Ridgeway, Ct., in 1 7(5 1 and w hen only 15 years old enlisted in a regiment recruited by Benedict Arnold and fought under him nt Saratoga. lie was transferred to General Putman's command anti later was with Washington at Valley Forge and in the boat with him w hen he crossed the Delaw are in that memorable Christmas eve before the battle of Trenton in 1770. In 1770 he was wounded at Monmouth and was present at the surrender of Corn wallis nt Yorktown. After the war in 17SI he married Sarah Rundei in Connecticuf and in 17!)1 came to .Mil- ford, where his wife died in 170S. Seven children were born of the union.

Among the highly interesting ob jects which are now being displayed in the Cniversity of Pennsylvania museum is a collection of Indian cradles from a number of tribes, showing the divers methods of carry ing and securing young children. Probably the most interesting relic is a wooden box from the Kwakintle Indians of British Columbia, which is tied with bark cords to the end of a flexible branch, the mother rocking her cradle by pulling a cord at tached to it. The Mocahs, of Cajie Flattery, have a similiar wooden cradle of cedar bark for the very young children of the tribe. The Piutes, of Nevada, tie their babies on a fiat frame of wicker with a beautiful splint cover that protects the bady'a head. Among the Ilupi Valley Indians the babies are kept, In beautiful slip-er-shapcd baskets, with a round cover over their face. The Shoshoni In Wyoming use a cradle of willow splints laid crosswise in the shape of a kite and covered with soft buck skin, A little hoop is bent over the face and it is covered with netting to keep o'f the flies. The Arapaho In dians have a hoop framework covered with skin, decorated with colored quill work. Nearly all Indian cra dles have charms attached to them to protect the child from injury. Rev Geo. W. Gillespie preached a fttrewell sermon to bis congrega tion in the Port Jervis Presbyterian church last Sunday evening. The chinch was crowded, members of all other denominations being p res ell t.

Dr ltillis makes denial but Po deadly parallel Is given to prove tho truth of tho allegation. Animftts in Folklore. It is significant, when one thinks of it, that the teaching of folklore stories and great, masterpieces of lit erature is, in the main, iu the direc tion of kindness to animals Al though the animal is sometimes represented as man's foe, or killed for man's use, there is no wanton cruelty in any of the old legends, and not seldom the hero who bo friends the animals is in turn be friended by them. Some of the oldest legends repre sent man as talking familiarly with the members of tho brute creation. The "Uncle Remus" stories, n any of which are known to hava been brought in nlmofit precisely their present form from. Africa to the plantations of the southern states inculcate this idea ; and "do cren turs" appear to tho mind of the child and childlike adult, who hear these stories, as friends to he loved and trusted. Japanese folklore pre sents the same idea and tho Hindu mythology is full of it. In Norse and Saxon legends tho faithful dog often appears; and in the folklore of the American Indian wo have again the notion of companionship between men and animals. This indicates that from the very earliest times there has been an idea more or less clearly brought out as mankind became more and more enlightened that kindness and not cruelty should bo observed to ward the brute creation. Tho In dian tortured his enemies; ho re garded it as an honor paid to cour age; but lie did not wnntonly tor tnre his few domestic beasts. Whatever cruelty appears in his treatment of them is duo to care lessness and ignorance. It is only the degenerate civilized man wdio deliberately, intentionally and tin. profitably torments a helpless animal. Real Eatata Transfers. Frank Bubcock and wife to Lewis M.
