The trouble is the so called leaders all want to run it, and in their contentions and personal am bitions they are running the old hulk to the demiation bowbows sure enough. There is not one of these so-called leaders who does not re cognize the fact that they are in a pretty bad predicament, and that if they escape disaster it must be by some extraordinary effort and by ex traordinary means. Hence the ex traordinary proceedings of Con gress, the extraordinajy methods pur sued there, the extraordinary bills passed, capped by the force bill the most extraordinary, infamous and devilish measure ever concocted or presented in a deliberative assembly in this country. The attempt to pass a bill of that kind, the conten tion that there is a necessity, for it is a confession of defeat in advance, for every one knows that if these conspiring leaders felt assured that they were going to be endorsed by the people and the Republican party kept in power they never would have disgraced the records of the House with the Lodge bill or anything like it or have hinted at it in the Senate. They are counting upon the force bill in the South and the corruption fund that boss Quay may be able to raise and thus they hope to avoid i disaster and still retain power. The Republican party, as far as the leadership goes, and it will soon extend beyond the leaders, is divided into two factions, the Blainites and the anti-Blainites, the former a marked improvement from a com mon sense and national standpoint over the latter. It is represented by Blaine with his progressive recipro city idea, and his opposition to the McKinley bill. Reed, McKinley & Co., with their gag rule methods, their truckling to protected manufacturers who furnish the "soap" and "fat" for campaign purposes represent the ADVERTISING RATES (DAILY).-ne square day, SI UU : two aays, fin; inrcc frX other. Blaine represents the better, brainier and more conservative ele ment of Ihe party; Reed, McKinley & Co. the worst, most unscrupulous and revolutionary element. It is be tween these two the contest now is and is to be until the Republican convention meets in 1S92, when the next fight for national supremacy is to be made. Blaine and this more conservative and better element recognize the necessity for introducing new issues to divert public attention from the gross mismanagement, lawlessness and reckless extravagance of thisCongress which has brought odium upon the party and carried it to the brink of ruin, and hence he has invented his recip rocity scheme to placate the masses who were enraged at the McKinley monstrosity, which he holds up to the public gaze as a signal failure if nothing worse. His bold position in the Bhnng sea dispute is also a part of the pro gramme to arouse national pride and carry things with a whoop and a yell when the time for whooping and yelling comes. Blaine is not alone in this. He has some able editors with him wtio are working up public sentiment by denouncing the measures of the ex tremists and holding Blaine up in striking contrast to the "boy states men" (a pointed allusion to Reed and Lodge), as they are derisively called by Field Marshal Halstead, who now swings a free and bold pencil on the Brooklyn Standard Union. He has attacked the force bill with gloves off, and while doing so blows a bugle blast for Blaine in this slashing style in which he concludes a most scathing editorial on that infamous measure. "The bill is an anachronism. It was rejected in principle sixteen years ago. and there is no new vitality in it. Blaine's American hemisphere and reci procity is the issue upon which the Re publicans can win. The country has al ready been captured on that. There is where the real statesmanship shines. Put aside the impracticabilities and in dividual jealousies and prancing zeal for the spectacular performance, and go for swinging the continent with protection and reciprocity." This is a good send off for Blaine, for it is not only spiritedly said, but cuts like a razor and is full of cun ning. "Protection and reciprocity," a bid for the manufacturer and the farmer, with the Behring sea issue incidentally thrown in. That's to be the slogan with which Blaine ;ind his followers are going to whoop up the boys in the next trial for the na tional sweepstakes. MINOR MENTION. Senator Vance offered several amendments in the Senate, Thurs day, to the iron and steel schedules, and worked hard to get a slight re duction of duties, but without suc cess, every one of his amendments being voted down, as usual, by a strict party vote. He moved to re duce the rate on beams, girders, and other structural shapes of iron or steel from 9-10 of one cent a pound to 6-10, which was voted down. Then Senator Paddock, Republican, of Nebraska, appealed to Senator Aldrich, (floor manager of this business for the Republicans), in the interest of agriculture to consent to a reduction of l-10th of one per cent, a pound, Senator Aldrich was moved by the appeal, melted, con sented to the reduction, and Senator Plumb's amendment went through. It may be noted that Senator Plumb is a Republican, that he had to ap peal in behalf of the farmers, who are doing some pretty vigorous kick- ing out in his province, for this little 1-10 concession. Democratic argu ments, facts and appeals don't amount to a continental with the Sen atorial agents of the manufacturers who are running this tariff,and it even takes appeals from the Republican Senators who don't believe in this wholesale robbery to soften them down or change the resolve" to go for the last ounce of flesh. Perhaps the farmers ought to be thankful for even such a small concession as this, which might give ground for the opinion that the legislative collar wearers of the imperious protected barons are not totallly devoid of heart, soul, sense or decency. If this wasn't such a serious matter to the people who have to foot the bills this tariff business might be looked upon as a great farce from the way it has been and is being handled in Congress. A decennial census recently com pleted in Ohio shows a startling de cline in the value of farms in that State within the past ten years, the only increase shown being in a couple counties . where oil and na tural gas had been discovered. The seventh census district of Pennsyl vania, which embraces twelve coun ties, among them, according to the Philadelphia Times, some of the best agricultural counties . in the State, shows an-absolute decrease of popu lation in four of the counties, and but a trifling increase in the others, save one in which the two towns of Altoona and Tyrone are situated, the increase being in these towns. The Times says: "A careful analysis of the figures in each of the twelve counties of the dis trict would doubtless show a decline in the agricultural population m every case, the gain, where any exists, being solely in the towns and mining districts. These figures are not reassuring as to the prosperity of the farmers of this Commonwealth. They lead to the in evitable conclusion that the completed census will show like results throughout the length and breadth of this State. And they should lead on the part of the farmers to an inquiry into the cause of a decline in the agricultural population of one of the richest agricultural States in the Union." Pennsylvania is one of the States which believes in protection and the "home market," but the home mar ket don't seem to be panning out for her farmers any better than for those elsewhere. The Republican tariff tinkers pre tend to have looked after the inter ests of the farmer in the new tariff bill they have constructed. In the Senate bill they have shown the in terest they take in the southern far mer, black as well as white, by rais ing the duty on cotton-tie iron from 35 to 10-4 per cent, ad valorem, and refused by a party vote to make the rate 35 per cent, as at pre sent. This increase, Mr. Vest said, was made without any demand from the cotton-tie manufacturers, who now have a bonus of 15 per cent, on their manufactures. The reason for this was, and could only be, that the cotton-tie manufacturers con tributed pretty liberally to the Re publican campaign funds, while the Republican party managers had nothing to expect from the South, and consequently no favors and not even justice to show. STATE TOPICS. Bertie county has a gold excite ment. According to a Windsor dis patch of the -1th instant, Abram Phil lips, living a few miles from that town, found some rock on his farm with tiny specks of what, upon ex amination by a jeweller in the town, was pronounced to be gold. Re turning home Mr. Phillips began ex ploring and found a large quantity of the same kind of rock, some of which he shipped to Philadelphia. Later his grandchildren, in wad ing in the branch near where the rock was found, picked up some bright pebbles which proved to be nuggets of gold. The old gentleman tried to keep this a secret but it leaked out and in a short while there was a rush to the stream and digging for gold became general. The excitement grew, and with it the price of land which jumped way up. Of course all this don't show that a bonanza has been struck in that county or that anybody is going to get rich but of the gold finds, but it shows that the gold-bearing field in this State extends over a greater area than was generally supposed and emphasizes the necessity for a geo logical survey. CURRENT COMMENT. Everything indicates that the H on. Preston Blair Plumb is having a good time. An athletic bull calf turned loose in a four-acre lot could not disport himself more joyously. A bay steer of independent habits could't kick with a more rugged heartiness. Plumb has strayed from the herd, and up to date he seems glad of it. N. Y. Sun, Dem. If Secretary Blaine wants'to give an extra . twist to the British lion's tail he might inquire under what claim of right an armed force from the British flagship Bellerophon at Newport invaded American terri tory and fired upon a party of de serting sailors. There is no danger in asking such questions, and they look well in print. Phila. Ledger; Ind. The lesson of Alabama and Kentucky will end the hope of dis rupting tne Democracy of South Carolina, where disruption was in evitable but for the madness of Force leaders in Congress. The one question that all parties must learn in the North is that no revival of race conflicts backed by Force can prevail in any Southern State. Phtl. Times, Ind. Omitting one or two South ern States there is not much in that quarter of the federal clerkships and similar places at the national capital. Civil Service Commissioner Roose velt states that the quotas of a num ber of these States are behind. It is a good sign. The Southern youth and the Southern middle-aged man are finding occupation in the devel opment of old and new local indus tries. Wash. Star, Ind. Goldsboro Argus: English spar rows are said to be playing havoc with the grape crop in this section. The crops throughout this section are are excellent, especially the corn crop. Some of our farmers say this will be the big gest crop that has been raised since 1840. A TWO-HEADED MOCCASIN An Encounter With a Venomous Reptile Doubly Armed. St. Lout's Globe-Democrat. A party ' of fishermen - returned home this evening from the Cut Off, three miles below this city, where they had been angling since early morning with splendid success. These particular disciples of Walton not only secured an abundance of black bass,, salmon, pike and sunfish, but brought back with them the most decided curiosity in the shape of an oviparous monstrosity ever witnessed in this city. It was no less than a double-headed snake, pure and undisputable, and a mon ster serpent at that, of the moccasin variety, its length being a little short of five feet and its circumference around the thickest part of its body eight inches plumb. The serpent was killed near the water's edge by Captain Leo Heit, an intrepid old soldier, who was fiercely attacked by the reptile and would, no doubt, have been severely bitten had it not been for his prowess as a marksman and the rapidity with which he drew his revolver from his pistol pocket and fired a conple of balls in rapid succession into the body of his dangerous antagonist. The snake had evidently crawled out of a hole jn the decayed stump of a tree, and when first discovered was lying full length in the sun just in front of the aperture. Captain Helt first imagined that there were two reptiles lying together, but on cautiously approaching the spot ob served to his amazement that it was one" snake only, but with two dis tinct and perfectly formed heads. The hideous reptile, which had ev idently been in a stupor, suddenly bacame aroused and was in the act ef darting at the captain, when, as above stated, a couple of doses of cold lead from Heit's revolver, brought the serpent to a halt, almost pt his very feet. On examining the moccasin it was found that the two heads forked at right and left angles from the body, each head having between three and four inches of neck. The heads were perfectly formed and exactly alike, and when the serpent was aroused from its stupor both gave forth a horrible hissing sound which for an instant nearly paralyzed the captain. The latter gentleman says he has faced during his manhood about everything that was calculated to try a fellow's nerve, from a band of For rest's guerrillas to a Rocky Moun tain lion, but he never tackled any thing yet that tried his courage more effectually than that double-headed moccasin. ABOUT OSTRICHES. Edgar W. Nyo Telia How Strong is Their Desire to Set. Edgar IV. Aye. Abou Ben Pangborn, of Water melon township, Congo county, had a young filly ostrich which wanted to set in the summer of '79, and he did not wish to have her do so, as he had sold the setting of eggs to a Sabbath school for Easter. So her led her by the hind leg to the kraal of a neigh bor, twenty-eight and three-quarter miles away. The chain was attached to her limb just below the calf of the limb, the other end being fastened to the root of a bamburrowallispus tree which grew near the kraal. When the desires- to set comes over the female ostrich she cannot overcome it any more than a walk ing delegate can. She yields to it and becomes its willing slave. You can play on her with a fire depart ment, or tie a red rag to her over skirt, but you cannot quench her desire to occupy a sedentary posi tion. That was the way with this young thing. Her name was Patience. She had already sat several weeks on a pineapple cheese, and, aside from giving it a rich home flavor, she could not detect any progress to ward hatching out a wholesale gro cery store. So one day a great longing to get back to her own nest, twenty-eight and three-quarter miles away, came over her. She lost control of herself. Her mother nature as serted itself in a brief ejacu lation such as the female ostrich makes when suddenly confronted by a great mental problem. In her mind's eye she saw those Sabbath School children blowing the interior out of her huge and juicy handi work, and then decorating the ex terior with lilies, etc., and tying rib bons to them, and Patience arose and girded up her loins and gave a great kick that bursted the periphery of the kraal and tore down the bam burrowallispus tree, and, with the chain and a prong of the tree root, to gether weighing thirty-seven pounds, she trotted across to her home, by actual computation, in 16 minutes and 22 seconds, though Abou Ben Pangborn made it a little short of that with his new stop sand-glass. Patience thus made a record of at least a mile in 33 seconds, carrying thirty-seven pounds attached to the calf of her limb. Epoch. "The transition from long, lingering and plainful sickness to robust health, marks an epoch in the life of the indi vidual. Such a remarkable event . is treasured in the memory and the agency whereby the good health has been at tained is gratefully blessed. Hence it is that so much is heard in praise of Elec tric Bitters. So many feel they owe their restoration to health to the great Alterative and Tonic. If you are troubled with any disease of Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of short standing you will surely find relief by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at 30c and $1 per bottle at Robert R.
