WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 1, 1893.
THE Supreme Court has settled the screen ordinance question. The decision may not be right, but for all practical purposes it is just as binding, and to which the people must and will submit. It the people don't want that kind of decisions the should not eleot.thst kind of a court.
NEW YORK Tribune: Well, you men in Wall street, jou clever merchants and money-makers, who did all this for yourselves, how do you like it as far as you've gone? You wanted a change, did you? You've got it, a sure enough change. And you are going to have your fill of it —make no doubt of that.
No less than thirteen bills have been introduced in the House whioh provide for the repeal of the existing law taxing State banks 10 per cent, on their circulation. Revival of "wild cat" money is not one of the impossible measures that may be enacted by the present Congress. This is a party mandate as embodied in the Chicago platform.
FROM 3783 to 1789 the trade of the thirteen old States was perfectly free to the whole world. The result was that Great Britain filled every section of our country with her manufactures of wool, cotton, linen, leather, iron, glass and ad otter articles used here and in four years she swept {from the country every dollar and every piece of sold.—Financial History of United States, II, p. 437.
The proBpeot of free trade now has already reduced the weekly pay roll millions of dollars and disastrously curtailed the grand volume of American industrial production. If the threat has produced so much depression and misery imagine if you please what the reality will be. It will be even worse than when the trade of the thirteen old States was perfectly free to the whole world.
GOVERNOR MCKINLEY may be re elected, but be ought not to be, and he woulu not be if the southern part of Ohio hud as able a Democratic paper as is the Cleveland Plain Dealer in the northern part.—Indianapolis Sentinel.
And yet did not editor Holden, of the Plain Dealer, recently appear before the Ways and Means Committee to protest against any reduction in the tariff on lead and zinc? What does it take to constitute an "able Demooratio" editor, anyway One who is in favor of reducing the tariff on everything except the article in which he is himBelf directly interested?

FI. VON
HOLST, the eminent his
torian, contributes to the November Fonan a slashing criticism of the present Senate under the title, "Shall the Senate Rule the Republic?" The Senate, he points out, has perverted its privileges so
BS
to give every individual
Senator an absolute veto on all legislation. The two Nevada Senators, representing hardly the population of a goodsized third-class city, paralyze the business of the whole population. He warns the people against vicious "compromises" and urges them to hold massmeetings to demand an immediate revision af the Senate rales.
Tan New York bank statement shows that the idle money in the vaults of that city amount to $157,000,000, or $50,000,000 above the required reserve. Bat while this is true the railroads are doing less business per mile than at any time in sixteen years. One-seventh of the entire railroad mileage in the conntry is bankrupt and in the hands of receivers. The iron mills are running about one-third time and 200,000 iron workers are out ot employment. Onehalf the carpet mills of the oountry are closed. Woolen, knitting, and cotton mills employing last year nearly half a million hands are now employing about one-third as many. Western farm products are lower than ever before. Commercial failures are twice as numerous and three times as disastrous as those of last Ootober—such are the external Bigns of present hard times.
SOME question has been raised as to the effect of the decision of the Sapreme Court in the screen ordinance case on the present ordinance in this oity, whioh simply provides for the removal of screens and curtains during the hours that the saloon keeper is not permitted to sell. Judge McCabe sets this question at rest in his decision, when he says: "There can be do doubt that such an ordinance would be within the power granted and reasonable if it is confined in its operation to such times as the saloon keeper is not allowed to do business, as between 11 and 5 o'clock at night, on Sundays and legal holidays and other days on whioh he is prohibited from doing business/'
It will thus be seen that the decision will not disturb any ordinance of thiB city. The saloon keepers must remove the screens and other obstructions as heretofore.

Some cloomy day, when young folks yawn And wish tho weary hours were gone. Go to your storeroom and there got Brown sugar, heavy, almost wet Send some one to a peanut stand— A quart, fresh roasted, you'll demand. Set all the children shelling these. And make them whistle, if you please. When these nre shelled, chop, not too fine Butter some picpnns set in line Then take a pound of sugar, turn Into a pan and molt, not burn. But add no water. When 'tis done. And like thick sirup, quickly run Your chopped up peanuts lightly salt And turn them in. If there's no fault. Stir just a minute, pour in tins And cool- and then the fun begins. -Good Housekeeping.

ONE MILLION LOBSTERS.
Oft
The Annual Yield of a Farm Lying the Coast of Maine. There is a lobster farm—or pound, as it is called—twelve acres in extent at Southport, Me. The Boston Globe describes this pound, the most successful on the coast, whence one million lobsters are shipped each year. The pound is formed by building a solid dam across a tide-water cove. This dam does not quite rise to high-water mark, but across the top is placed a fence of iron rods, preventing the lobsters from escaping. In the spring and fall business is most brisk. When the fishermen bring the lobsters to the pound, the "fish,", as they are called, are hoisted to the dam, measured, and those which are more than ten and onehalf inches long, the legal limit, are thrown in. If a lobster is clever his life in the pound may be long and full of joy. If he is stupid he will be fished out with a drag seine and packed in a barrel, with a piece of ice for a pillow, and sent to Boston. The seine la made of stout twine and is weighted at the bottom with a heavy chain. Along the top is a row of corks, which sustain the weight of the seine while the chain drags 011 the bottom of the pound. A single cast of this seine will bring up lobsters enough to fill eleven barrels. Tho chain as it sweeps along the bottom stirs up the lobsters, which immediately shoot backward into the slack twine. In taking them out the men wear heavy mittens, though even then they are often nipped. In the pound the lobsters are fed salt herring, men rowing about in skiffs and pitching the herring overboard. This is called •'feeding the chickens." and it takes about six barrels to make a light luncheon for the flock. There are said to be a number of olil hardshells in the Southport farm which for years have evaded the casts of the drag. Two of enormous size have become quite tame and crawl about in the shallow water. The age of the lobster is a debated question. The small marketable specimens are generally supposed to be from four to six years old, but some lobsters are believed to live to the green old age of twenty-five years.

which speaks well for her as a teacher. Col. Wm. Kise, our young huckster, bad quite a narrow escape one day last week while out with his wagon. His team became frightened at a traction engine, turned off the road, ran through a ten rail fenoe, scattering butter, eggs, and rags in every direction. They were finally stopped by coming up against a large oak tree.
Maoe celebrated Hallowe'en in great shape. Long before 8 o'clock spooks and spirits were hovering around and in a short time most of them had assembled at the home of Wm.

There were about twenty couple present who tripped the light fantastic until the early hours of morn, then quietly dispersed to their homes all feeling that they had had a most enjoyable time
