FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 10, 1893.
CONGRESSMAN CONN attributed the recent Republican victories to tariff agitation and the suspension of pensions. Conn is the Democratic member from the Thirteenth distriot. He seems to be wiser than some ot his brethren.
THE Indianapolis News say a: "In Ohio, McKinley is indebted principally to the hard times for his snooeea." Just BO. A.nd the country at large was indebted—if it 'S not a misapplication of the term—to the Democratic threat to repeal the MoKinley bill, for the hard times.
THE week before the election the Indianapolis Sentinel said that— Governor McKinley may be re-olooted, but be ourhl uot to be, and he vroulil not be If the southern art
01
Ohio bad as able a Democratic
paper as is the Cleveland Plain D*alcr iu the northern part. The Sentinel is enabled now to revise its opinion of the Plain Dealer. Notwithstanding its ability as a Democratic paper notice the reenlt. In 1892 the city of Cleveland and Cuyahoga county gave a plurality for Grover Cleveland of 2,886. Last Tuesday Cuyaboga county rolled up a plurality of 8,164 for Governor McKinley. This change in pluralities representing 11,050 votes in one year would indicate that the Plain Dealer's influence was even less than that of the Cincinnati Enquirer, the target at which the Sentinel aimed its shot.
THE day following the elections this week the Indianapolis News devoted a column of its valuable editorial space to an olla podrida of opinions. First, it said that "the enormous majority secured by Mr. McKinley plainly indicates under the circumstances a popular reaction in Ohio in favor of the doctrine of a high tariff." It says "there seems nothing significant about the result in Massachusetts," while in Iowa "the people were determined to get even with the Democratic party for the hard times," and then seasons its Spanish dish with this: "To our Republican friends we would say that they will serioualy mistake the temper of the people if they oonstrue yesterday's triumph as an unqualified indorsement ot McKinley tariff." Which plainly indicates that the ruling passion iB strong in death.
REPRESENTATIVE BBOOKSHIKB has finally got it through his wool
bthat
the
Democratic policy has not been approved by the people. To the Washington correspondent ot the Indianapolis Journal he Baid that the elections have taught a lesson to the Democrats which ought to be heeded. He says that in the West, where so many veterans of the late war have their homes, there is a ffeeling that the administration of the Interior Department is hostile to the Boldier. He thinks that this belief has had a great deal to do with the result, not only in the West, but in Massachusetts, which is a great Boldier State. He knows that in Indiana there is severe criticism of the acts of the administration in this direction, and he thinks that if practical evidences of friendliness to the deserving men who are drawing pensions are now forth coming the election will not have been in vain. Appearances indicate that Mr. Brookshire would like to hedge.
THE basis ot the new Wilson tariff bill is free.wool. This has been difi nately dec ded npon.Wool will be placed on tLe free list and corresponding changes made in the wool schedule. The average reduction of duties on woolen goods will be between 40 and 50 per cent, most likely at 45 per cent. Will any politician explain why with over 4,000 articles on the dutiable list wool should have been singled out, before all others, to bear the main brunt of tariff reduction? The politisians have said constantly that they wanted to reform the tariff because trusts, rings, monopolies, combines, aod grasping capitalists were fattening off the overtaxed people. But is there any "oombine," any "trust," any "monopolies," any "grasping capitalists" among sheep raisers Are there "rings" of wool growers who are gorging themselves with ill-gotten gains? Where is there a flockmaeter who is "sucking the life blood of the people?" Why is it that tariff reform must begin by attacking the slender profits of the millions of farmers? There is a perfidy and a wickedness about this attack on the farmers that are simply amazing.

Historic Care Dwellers.
Western newspaper correspondents hove for years, at irregular intervals, discoursed at some length upon the •wonders of the Rio San Juan, and in the category of the marvelous this mountain tributary of the great 'Colorado has taken its place by the side of the far-famed and mysterious Gila. The cliff ruins of the San Juan valley have been the center of attraction, have been viewed from all sides, and their wonders have been told and retold to the world, time and time again. Scientific men have visited this region, have penetrated southeastern Utah, and have considered this valley a place of especial interest, because these cliffs and cave dwellings are probably the oldest in this strange country, being the first built is that mysterious journey southward of a great and unknown people.
For twenty years the prospector has followed this bold little river and gazed with careless unconcern on the rough and broken walls, so full of interest to the archaeologist but the mind of the prospector has no room for curios, and he has no time for arohesological investigation, says a Phcanis correspondent of the Cincinnati Tribune. He sees only the glitter of the gold in the sand, and thinks only of the time when he shall have made his "stake." In November of 18S3 hundreds of gold hunters rushed madly into the canyon north of the Navajo mountain, traveled three hundred miles over bleak, desert tablelands, suffered terribly from cold, hunger, and the long, wearisome journey in a few days staked oil all the available land for fifty miles up and down the river, and then returned home without having obtained so much as color of (fold, and to-day have nothing to show for it but the stakes.
Whether this is a region that will ever show rich pay dirt the writer knows not, but he can say, without hesitation, that it is one of the most wildly picturesque and beautiful regions in the world. The bleak old Navajo mountain rises abruptly and towers like a grim sentinel over the surrounding mesa, while In a canyon gorge, more than 8,000 feet below its base, the Rio San Juan appears like silver thread. The canyon is several miles wide, and a descent can be made to the river by a precipitous trail, but as the river approaches the great Colorado the canyon becomes more narrow and the walls more perpendicular, and when it merges into the grund canyon it is scarcely more than a deep, dark channel.
The Navajo mountain, the jutting buttesthat line tli* canyon's verge, the huge bowlders that are lodged on the canyon's side, and the straight walls of the canyon proper are all points of wonderful interest, for they are the canvas upon which are depicted some of the most strange and beautiful piotogTaphs that have ever been discovered in this country. Nearly every bowlder is a picture gallery, and nearly every smooth surface is covered with weird and fantastic figures.
On the mountain these continue to the very summit, and, as the crowning piece, a huge block of sandstone stands on the top, the four sides presenting smooth surfaces. These faces are more than one hundred feet square, and on each face is a picture of the sun, vrith the figures of seven warriors bowed, as to the earth, in prayer. Beneath the warriors are many hieroglyphic characters, probably a prayer to the sun god. On a bowlder, by the verge of the canyon, is the picture of a woman kneeling in prayer to the sun.
On one of the canyon walls, more than one hundred feet from anything that oould have furnished the barbario artist a foot or handhold, there is a weird panoramic view in three scenes. Under a tree a child is sleeping. One little hand lies across its breast, while the other has fallen carelessly by its side. A few feet from the sleeping babe, a large snake, evidently a rattlesnake, is coilcd to strike. Down the canyon, toward the west, is scene two. The snake Is crawling away, and the limbs of the child are drawn as though in the last convulsions of death. The snake has done its deadly work. Still further down the canon is scene three. A warrior, evidently the father of the child, with one arm clasps his dead babe with the other hand he holds a club. Upon his face the rude artist has depicted a look of mortal anguish and hate. A snake lies dead at his feet. This is probably the most beautiful picture ever executed by savage hands.
On one of the canyon's walls a warrior and a maiden are represented, gayly tripping along, hand in hand, while two doves are circling around their heads. Pictographs of the bear— In one place a bear followed by two cubs—the dog, the mountain lion and the catamount are all to be found. Many of these are evidently of recent date, and have probably been executed by the Navajos, but here and there one meets with a dim pictograph that bears evidence of great age.
Emperor William and Ills Gun. The German emperor frequently has a week's retirement from the bustling wfcrld, and hides within the depths of tho forest of Prockelwitz, where a small cottage is his abode, nestled beneath a splendid oak, with forest around him for miles. There, while the dew is on the forest, he starts forth gun in hand, with a brace of dogs and a sturdy forester, and at four o'clock he is at the best spot for sport. Then hlB majesty bangs away till eleven, when he wends his way homeward to hlB cot, cats and sleeps awhile, after which he puts his signature to all the documents which require it, and have been duly forwarded to his lonely retreat from Berlin.
Self 1'ralMC.
Self praise is no recommendation, but there are times when one munt psrrnit a person to tell the truth about himself. Wnen what he says is supported b.v tho testimony of others no reasonable man will doubthis word. Now, to say that Allcock's Porous Plasters are the only genuine and reliable porous plasters made Is not self praise ID tbe slightest decree. Thev have stood the testfor over thirty years, and in proof of their merits it is only necessary to call attention to the curcs thoy have effect ed and to tho voluntary testimonials of those who have nsed tbem.
Beware ot imitations, and do- not bo deceived by misrepresentation. Ask for Allcock's, and let no solicitation or explanation '.nduce you to accept substitute.
