IlT1'- rX.'.r'ï A REPUBLICAN POINT OF VIEW., __ -v- --•• - ........ Causes A ssigned for th e Great ancT T errible Earth q uake. [Chicago Tribune.] The-great, all-sufficient cause of the defeat’of the republican party was the fact that the workingmen believed what the democrats told them, that the consumers paid to the manufacturers of American competing goods -about a billion, and a quarter dollars yearly extra, or a sum equal to what the duties would have been on the home made goods had they been im ported, and that the manufactur ers put every cent of that billion and a quarter in their pockets giving none of it to their employes. The latter believed that by voting for Cleveland they would get cheaper goods at the same time wipe out these tremendous'profits of their bosses. But there were other things which helped to swell the demo, cratic majorities. One of them was the fact that about half a mil lion republicans who would be glad to have offices felt that they could hope for none were Harri son re-elected. They knew that if that happened there would be but few changes. The president and his subordinates—the post master-general, for instance-- would keep the men who had served- and been satisfactory. Therefore these individuals, who felt that they had nothing%to gain personally by republican success were lukewarm. They did not lake off their coats, roll up their sleeves, and pilch in. On the other hand all these men who had held office under Cleve land and who were sure that they would regain them were he elec ted, worked with a vim which the republican officeholders did not emulate. The hungry outs are al ways move in earnest than the well-fed ins. Then, too, hundreds of thousands of democrats who did not hold office under Cleveland felt there might be hope for them if he got in, especially as they were given to understand that he had given up his civil service re form ideas utterly and would make a clean sweep of all the re publican office holders at once. So the offices chilled the ardor of the republicans while they kindled that of tiie democrats. National elections for many years have shown that the possession of fed eral patronage is an element of weakness and not of strength, al though the general belief is the other way. N iagara Harnessed. [ Anaconda Standard.] Within a few days science will have harnessed the waters of Nia gara. An enoimous tunnel has been bored through the solid rock, from the water level below the falls to a point a mile and a half above the falls, and terminating 4.00 .feet from the nayigable! waters: of .the, river., .and 160 feet from the. surface above. A pit-leads’\to ther tunnel;-’*- At the bottom.of the pit are. the enormous turbine water wheels. , TlVe'water is conducted to the pit by a canal, its great head power is utilized, hnd the tunnel forms a tail, race for the escape of ¿he waters after they have spent their force in setting, the shafting in motion. It is pro posed to transmit power to Buffalo,, eighteen miles away, and with i t . to operate all the mills and manufactories along the line. The amount of power capable of being generated is practically unlimited. For more than two years 1,300 men have been at work upon this tunnel and pit, and the work is now about completed. The capa city of the tunnel is calculated at four per cent, of the water that flows overy the falls. But the company backing the enterprise has obtained the right to \use all the water of the river if it requires it. The custom the company gets will be the measure of. this re quirement, and if the demand for power becomes great enough, the waters of Niagara will no longer fall in grandeur . over the horse shoe precipice, but will disappear in the earth a mile and a half above, and burst forth from the ground half a mile below. That is a possibility, and it is satisfactory to know that it is extremely re mote. W h a t the E d itor Gets. When a child is born into the world the physician is present and gets about $10 for officiating at the important event. The editor her alds the event of the stranger and gets a cursing for making a mis take as to the sex and date of ar rival. After a while the child becomes a man, the minister is called to perform the marriage ceremony and walks off with a ten dollar bill in his pocket for his trouble. The editor is again called upon to chronicle this event by drawing on his imagination to make bride and groom the best and most re spectable people in the county His only pay is to be asked for a few extra copies of his paper to send to some absent friends. In time the once baby, once\ happy groom, but now a man well advanced in years, , is brought down by death. Again the phy sician is called in and makes his bill, the undertaker is present and officiates at the funeral, and in time wants $100 for performing the last sad rites,.while the editor is expected to complete the drama, by holding up the deceased as a model gentleman, and one who at present is flying up ■he t golden stairs. The probabilities are at the same time that the' baby, the' groom and the dead-' man have been so infernally stingy that he had never contributed one cent to ’ ?
