Under the caption above quoted, the riiilftlelphia Keening Telegraph exhaust. ively, dispassionately, fairly and forcibly reviows the existing industrial and business situation and outlook in the State and country, the responsibility of the Democratic Congress and Administration for the trouble, the avowed purpose of the Democratic leaders to continue the warfare upon the promotive policy, and says "The most abundant warning has been given, also. Should there be any measure of indorsement of the work of the present CoDgress in itt warfare npon the protective system, the same body will scarcely ba re.nsembleil, in December next, before the assault will be renewed. What has been done may justly be taken as indicative of what is intended and of what will follow in the near futnre, if opportunity is given. Under the leader, ship of Mr.

Cleveland, Mr. Carlisle, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Mills and Mr. Voorhees, not a shred of projection would be left the American manulacturer and his workpeople should the ntit Congress be Dem.

ocratic. Of this there era be no manner of doubt. The efore, let every voter clearly comprehend the facts in the case, thoroughly understand the whole situation, and let the verdict be one that will go down into history as t'ae mist sweeping condemnation of economic political unwisdom ever recirded in American annals. This is at once the privilege ami the duty of the citizeus of the greatest industrial Commonwealth in the Union." The Demoor.vtic organs aud campiig'i speakers are attempting to throw dust inn the eves of the workingmeu voteri of the State by ttiling them that only "State issues," and not the tariil' question, blnuld be taken account of id this campaign. This is an artful snare aud a bald cheat.

There arc no "State issnas" of su Sclent moment to arouse the concern of the voters, while the tarilV question is one of paramount and pressing exigency. An overwhelming majority for every candidate upon the Republican ticket whether for Governor, Congrs maii or member of the Uturc is essential in order to espres fie sentiment of the State of Pennsylvania upon the tariff woik of the late session of ihe Dciuociatic Therefore it i Gtnersl Hastings should cairy ihj State by an over whelming vote, fnd therefore it is that Trexlers ioiild to sent to Congress s. Li I. and West to t'ae Leg 'ta' ing majorities, re sioaal district, every borough and township should make itself beard upon the tariil' f.uestion at the polls this Fall, and in each case the vote will be interpreted as an expression ol rentiment upon at question. Let the county of Berks, and especially the great industrial city of Heading, not be stultified by a vote endorsing the ruinous tariff policy adopted and ati 21 avowed and defended by the Democratic leaders of the country.

Kep the Lines Moving. Good advertising not only appeases the mown wants, but politely hunts up those that are least assertive. The goods that hnng fire on the shelves six mouths may meet quick buyers now, pro' vided the merchaut shall let out the news of them. If there be anywhere in any store within the radius of the Times' influence a line of goods that hadn't the merchant better ask himself whether he has given it a chance to mend its pace?

"There are nearly 170,000 women in the State of Connecticut," says the Ifart ford Times, "who might have voted at the town elections last Monday, Only about 3,000 actually voted. That is one woman ont of every fifty seven less than 2 per cent. Probably a good many of those who did vote went to tbe pol ont of curiosity and will never go again. The woman suffragists claim that women will not take the trouble to vote until they have the full suffrage conferred npon them. It is pretty hard work to get men to vote at elections, and it looks as if it were always going to be about fifty times harder to get the women to yote."

Senator Fry recalled the fact to his hearers, furthermore, that the Treas ury was bankrupt, xnav depreciated sixty millions, that the gold reserve to protjet our einrruous paper currency shrank to and that if the Secretary of the Treasury bad not sold bonds and run the Government that much more in debt there would have been no gold reserve at all. As there were no earthquakes, no droughts, no deluges, as we had the same mines, the came furnaces, the same forges the same factories, the same active, intelligent, enterprising and ragaciotis men and women; as there was no evidence of Providence having laid his heavy hand upon the nation, the Senator catuo to the conclusion, very aurally, that the two troubles the money panic ami bus.

The meeting in Emii of the American Association For the Advancement of Science has given rise to some of the wildest, weirdest, imcamiiest specimens of the newspaper illu. trator's art that ever saw the light of day.

Unearthly eyed, stoop shouldered, bald'noaded, with unspeakable ins upon their faces, witli whiskers that look like a Russian thistle, th! scientists sat and talked all day abcut tho rhizomes of gas, auitno niaral solution uf silver nitrate, propionic aldehyde and parapropioiiic altle hvde Titer rattled around till all was facts roncernini; the 1 havior of ally! malonic, allyl acetic and arthcyl. ideno propionic acids when boiled in a solution of caustic soda. When a scientist announced that hu had found the lophopappus, a new genus of Mutisiaceous compo. iOT, ne was transported into a state of bliss only equaled by that of tho man who had found out about eihernarcosis. They wera gladder than if they had found a $1,000,000 nugget of common, vulgar gold.

This was because rue name pom lias only one syllable. Wo don't believe the scientists looked liko the pictures tho wicked newspaper artists give uf Micm. If they did, then they would bo a more rare collection than any of their own fossils and cockroaches. But if they did resemble their pictures it would not be much wonder, on account of tho big words iho poor fellows have torattlcieir jaws around all the time. Evolution of tbe Baby.

Doubtless it has occurred to few fond parents to ask what makes a baby fat. The infantile apo and monkey are slim littlo creatures, as as a kitten, from tho time they are born. Only tho human new born baby is covered with great rolls of fat and sleeps two thirds of the time. Dr. Louis Kobiuson, who is interested in baby studying, has found out tho reason, ho thinks.

It tells of ages of grief and suffering such as have seldom been equaled. Man is undoubtedly a product of the tropics. 1 ood was plentiful aud easily obtained. Therefore the young of tho human ape was litho and slender from tho start, ready to run up a tree. But man migrated to colder climes.

During the winter tliero were scarcity of food and starvation. The hibernating ani mals feed themselves up fat in umuier. Thus they store away a supply of food for winter. They draw it from their own bodies. Man involuntarily imitat ed this idea.

In times of scarcity the ieau babies and the weak, old people died from privation. Tho fat babies liv cd becausy they, too, liko tho hibernates, had a supply ahead that tilled them over till good times. The weak and scrawny babes were weeded out by the merciless hand of deatii. The fat oni were' left, and. they transmitted their flesh in turn to their children.

Now nearly all babies arc fat, There Is no reason now why elevated railways should not be run with elcc tricity. Half tho nuisance of them would thus be abolished. The success of thu Intramural road at the World's fail shows what can bo done. current was supplied to tho cars of the road in tho fair grounds from the iron rail. A cast iron shoo slid along tho rail and collected the eleetncitv.

The motors were under the cars. A point of interest is that these motors weighed about 10 tons, while the ordinary locomotive, whero steam is the motive power on an elevated road, weighs 13 tons. A savin; or live tons will thus be made to cverv train. A speed of 23 miles an hour wa: easily reached and could have been uaintained only for the necessaty fro qtient stoppages. Certainly there must some way of adapting this system to surface cars too.

They arc: Taos, I'icuno, San Juan, Santa Clara, San Yldcfonso, 1'ojuauue, Nombo, Cuyaniuquo and Tesuquc. Tho different pueblos rescmblo each other very closely in construction. Tho dwellings are nil of mud colored adobes or sun dried bricks nnd always arranged, Mexican fash, ion, to incloso a plaza or public square.

Tho walls of these buildings aro from two to four foot in thickness, and tho roofs nro of timbers, which nro covered with dirt a foot or more in depth. Most of these dwellings ate two and often four nnd flvo stories, or rather terraces, In height, each successive story lieings set back somo 12 or 15 feet from tho side walls of tho next story below. The customary manner of en tering these dwellings is by ascending ladder outside the building to the roof, and through a hole descending to the Interior bv another ladder, though many, as concession to the inarch of progress, have doors cut through tho 6ide walls, t. doubtedly these dwellings were built with an eve to defensive measures during littlo disputes, hen it quite often becamo very to convert the pueblo Into a fortress from which to reind threatened Inva won. A Weird Kace.

Tho most interesting nswell as the most perfect specimens of a Pueblo Indian fortress is to be found at Taos, X. M. Taos is pronounced exactly as if it were spelled rouse. The fortress consists or two communistic bouses, cadi five stories high, and a Itonian Catholic church in a sonio whnt ruined condition, which stands near, though apart from the dwellings. Around the fortress are seven curious drcnlar mounds.

You would imagine them to be the work of mound builders. Then are the sweating cham bers of this wci nl race, whieh has preserved ils aboriginal life of tbe days of Montezuma aiino unchanged totln'sc times. The largeid of the mounds serves the purpose of a couneil chamber and mystic hall. where serrer rites arc administered. The young I'uelilo Indian i therein initiated by solemn ceremonies into the faith ol his forefathers.

Americans am forbidden these caverns, or sweating chambers, though they aro always welcome to tbe pueblos. I drove yesterday to the pueblo at To suqui', nine miles lrom Santa re, iho road lies through one of the most awful and desolate of landscapes, across arroyas, or the sun dried beds of mountain torrents, around the base of foothills covered with the omnipresent cedar trees. Everywhere mountains and foothill everywhere sand and cedar.

I shall never forget the lirst I'ueblo In I saw. It was at Kspanohi the other day, on my way hero to this dreamy old city the city of Holy Kaith. Near Espa nolaistbo pueblo of San Juan, nnd sev eral of tho Indians had come over with peciinens of their pottery to sell to tbe tourists passing through. As I got off the train my gaze fell on this object, crouching, like a cat, at tbe corner of tho sta tion, for uu instant I Mievcd I was the victim of a nightmare. This horrible thing, this repulsive, shriveled, imiminy like ereatuve, squatted thcroand grinning up from under a shock of black, greasy, matted, filthy hair, was a human being, after all, not a hobgoblin.

I spoke to it nnd discovered that it was a squaw. 1 lieso Indians dress so uni formly it Is ditlicmt to tell the bucks from tbe squaws, liotb bang their coarse black hair until it covers the eyes. Through his hirsute mass glitter those intensely black, snakelike eyes, with so unpleasant and eldritch effect that you find your blood turn cold when looking at them. And tho way they crouch nnd squat upon tho ground, doubled up in some mysterious jaekknifo, corkscrew fashion, is cnuugh to strike terror to your soul, lor the effect is that they appear to have no legs whatever, and you are possossc by the horrible fas cination of the idea that they are creatures which end at the hips, and that any iuo mcnt they may topple over and run all over the ground at your feet. A (iovcrnnr's l'alace.

Well, I lived through the shock, and having become acclimated to the I'ueblo Indian decided to visit him on his native heath. Afterward I wished I hadn't, and in the coming years, whenever a whiff of decaying garbage, the odor of swine or the scent of tlie tenement shall assail my nos trils, it will waft me hack to 1 esuquc, and especially to the palace of its governor. ur 1 esuquc has a governor, ami the gov ernor lias The governor was ab sent yesterday, doubtless on some delicate diplomatic mission, However, Ids door was unliH ked, and my guide, pushing li open, invited me to cuter.

Record. In Reading they're forcing women into active competition with men at a rapid rate. We are sort of used to women as members of school bourds and health boards, candidates lor the presidential and other offices. We have growu accustomed to her in business circles, hut as pt lice officer she has sn anomaly, lint Remling evidently thinks she will he equal 'o the office. The school board of that city recommends that all the janitors cf school buildings be given police powers.

As a large proportion of those who perform this duty are women, this will be one of the first instances on record of women be coming policemen. It is proposed to have them appointed by t're mayor under an act of assembly relating to special and private policemen so as to better eq able them to preserve order around tbe huildiugs and protect the school propeity. Au extrta course of Delsartean lessons or practice on football and baseball teams will certainly be necessary to develop sufficient muscle to (liable these female policemen to ktep the peace among a lot of burly boys.

"Times have changed wonderfully," said pre Dong las, the colored statesman and orator, last evening to a representative of the PniWofas ho sat in his room in the Lo chiet hotel, sipping a cup of hot coffee and muni hing crackers.

"Forty seven years ago I as dragged out of my seat in a car at your rai road station by a prominent man in this city because I presumed to sit in a first class car. The Bsme evening I was mobbed in vour court house along with William Lloyd (iarrison because I dared to speak atainst slavery. I will never forget these incidents." said the white haired old man, reminis ceutly. "While we were talking a crowd rushed in upon us and broke up the ruteting. A body ol Iriecds sur rounded ns and guarded ns, or we would have been stoned to death.

How different now. To dav, when I reached Har risbnrg, I was met at the railway station by a large delegation of citizens, and escorted to my hotel by a committee of citizens and a band of music. My friends were even so kind as to drive me to the hotel in a large open carriage, behind a pair of fine horses I surely feel as though I ought to congratulate your people on the marvelous changes tbat bave been wrought in Harrisbnrg since my fiist visit here." Fred. Douglas's visit to Harrisbnrg wag for the purpose of delivering a lec tnre last eveniu at Ihe Zion African Methodist Episcopal chnrch. He was greeted by a large audience, whieh showed its appreciation of his lectnre by the marked attention and enthusiastic applause.

It was an nnusuativ brisk one immense quantities of cider having been turned ont by the many large and improved steam presses in all sections of the conoty.

How to keep cider is the ques tion of the season. One of the best ways is to take cider freshlv made and boil and ski in as long as anything comes to the top, but not longer than fifteen minutes, then bottle hot, and cork, but not seal, it will keep as long as one wants it to keep, and is better than when first made.
