The company owns about f:H>t,5tKi.OOO worth of machinery and bad debts, the bulk of it in machinery, w lich will only sell for the price of old Iron.

In the Lntooka tribe it takes seven or eight years to complete the head toilet. As a general rule, in uncivilized countries it is the men who thus adorn themselves. In the Marquesas Islands, indeed. the husband sometimes sacrifices his wife's hair toward his own adornment. He shaves her head, and appropriates her hair for his own crown. Hi The fig harvest this year has been good. The whole crop that practically supplies Europe and America and a great part of Asia is gathered from a very limited acreage. The average yield is 2A.U0Q.000 pounds. The fig gardens lie along the valley of the Meander, especially round the ruins of Ephesus. The gathering employs all the population of the neighboring villages. and the subsequent processes of drying, sorting and packing give employment to all creeds and nationalities. Turks and Christians work together side by side. The most miserly man on the eon- j tinent of America has been discovered at Clan William, a small settlement near Winnipeg.

Washisgtcrt, Deo. 3&e-Mr. Springer, chairman of the committee on Territorie s, has been making diligent efforts to find names for the new States which his bill will make out of the present' Territories. A few days ago he sent a letter to the Bureau of Ethnology asking its ail arid suggestion in the selection of euphonious and at the same time appiopriate names for the new States. Dakota gave him most trouble. Nothing seemed to him to be more commonplace than North Dakota and South Dakota, and it was to Dakota . that he asked the bureaus especial attention. He has received the following interestingletter from Derrick Mallory: In compliance with your request, I have directed especial attention to a desirable name tor a State to be composed ot tbe southern portion of the present Territory ot Dakota Your limitations were that the name should hare direct reference to the Dakotan stock, a linguistic family ot Indians, and that the term "Dakota" itself was occupied for the northern portion of the Territory. Two; words, purely Dakotan, seem to have euphony and poetical merit. One Is- "Winona,” the name given to the Brst-horn child of a DaI kola woman, provided the first born i t a femalc.'An objection to the use of that term is that it is already appropriated by a town well mown. The other is’TatonlcA' translated ' Buffalo" involving the idea of the land ot the buffalo which is appropriate to that region. The term which I recommend, of strictly euphonious scurry for that region is Sanona. This is the old and correct form for the larger part of the Dakotan stock, wh'rrh had Its home in that part ot the Territory. It appears In Lewis & Clarke, under the blundering form ot "Sshone and Saone.” and m our own Indian treatise as “Sionne,” and comprised the majority ot the great body popularly s tel led "Titoa” and "Teton," but correctly Titonwan.” This expression might be use A mt It is not euphonious as “San >na” which means substantially the same. That to the title of the Indians who actually were the predecessors of the w kites in the locality under consideration. Mr. Springer docs not, however, share the eminent ethnologist’s preference for “Sanona.” He thinks “Winona” is the pleasantest one, and has selected it for South Dakota, He will advocate the retention of the name “Dakota” for North Tiakota. more, he says “because the word has become part of our political history, and has so many reasons to be remembered.” He instances the wide significance in business circles of the term “Dakota Wheat.” In the naming of the other new States j Mr. Springer has shown equal good taste ! and research. New Mexico is to join the sisterhood of States under the stately I name of “Montexuma.” Tor Washington : Territory he has selected “Lacouica,” | while Montana is to retain its present ; name. Mr. Springer is showing his coli leagues that he is both a poet and a ! scholar.

THE FASTEST VESSEL AFLOAT. Satl-factory Rnnlt »f the Trial Trip of the Dynamite Cruiser VmutIim-A S|n*'l of Twenty-Ono Xautirut Nile* Attained. Philadelphia. Dec. 2X—The dynamite cruiser Vesuvius left Philadelphia Thursday morning; to make a second test of her speed. She returned yesterday afternoon. The following is the official report, made by a Government expert, and was approved by the Messrs. Cramp and all of the supervisors of the trip: The Vesuvius returned to Cramp's Sttip-T»rd at 1 p. m., December ST. 1SSS, from her second trial trip. She made a run just before dark last night, under very unfavorable ci ream stances, the wind Mowing agate and an unusually heavy sea running. Under these disadvantages she made a mean speed of 1*. 59 knots In two runs over a two-knot course. The disadvantage of the heavy sea was mnch aggravated by the shallowness of the water in the measure l course. It was also conceded bv all hands that the water on the measured course is much too shallow to give the vessel a fair chance within at least a halt to three-quarters ot a l;not per hour. This morning she started to puke another run. and had gone over three-fourths of the course in the first run at the rate of at least twenty-one knots, when one of the air pumps connecting levers broke, which necessitated the shutting oil of that engine, ami the remainder of the run was made with the ether engine alone. Under that disadvantage her speed over the whole course was 1» 4T knots per hour. Thereupon the trial ended, the contractors declining to attempt another ran with only one air pump remaining in working order of the port engine. It being understood that each engine has two air pumps. The Messrs. Crump ahnouttce that they feel in doty bound to give another test "f speed of the V esurtus, but they will ask that the course be chosen further down the bay near the breakwater, so that a clear way and an ample depth of water may be had. with every chance for tlw vessel to show her very highest speed. They have no doubt whatever that the Vesuvius will in every way prove superior to her contract specifications. and the# are particularly desirous of tbowlng that she Is the fastest vessel afloat • trather Jean's Tribulations.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Wfcjr It mil Live Long After Its Repub* llcan Opponent li Forgotten. A. drowning man goes down for tho third time tvnd then sinks to rise no more. The Democratic party has had but three straight reverses since it came into power at the beginning of this i century. This is a pretty fair showing i for a life of eighty-eight years. The last reverse has lately occurred in the , defeat of Mr. Cleveland, and perhaps j this is interpreted! by the blind prophets who are asserting that it will I never come into power again to mean j a drowning party going down for the ! third and last time. 0 Sueh prophecies oithe r argue ala-' meqtable ignorance of the i history of , the parties in this and other representative countries or are intended merely as a species ot "bluff” inspired by the bracing morning air of party triumph. The Democratic party is a good swimmer' and has never gone down at all yet, but has simply had an average reverse of once in about thirty years. It is the only party that has lived through the entire history of our country and still survives in its original vigor. The party which overthrew Federalism under the powerful prestige of Washington and Jolhn Adams and came into power at the; beginning of the century under Thomas Jefferson retained that power And the respect of the. whole people for forty successive years. But, to show how utterly unforsocn is the destiny of any party, the Whigs in 18 M) carried (reneral Harrison into the Presidency with a swoop that was as surprising to themselves as to their amazed and bewildered adversaries. And curiously enough the party that performed this feat was only four years old. it had no principles and made no pretensions to any^^ve opposition to the administration of, the day. Its candidate was seventy years old and had no ospccial qualifications or claims for the office. It was simply a sort of fright and spasmodic reaction of the people, following the severe panic of 1837, which was supposed to I have been brought about by Jackson’s j warfare upon the United States Bank j and Van Buren’s fidelity to* his prede- ! eessor s policy. About the only logic i in tho whole Whig craze is expressed in the familiar party linos:

Farewell* diear ' an* Yaa're not our man; To guido oojr ship. We’ll try old T.p; , or m those still sillier ones: For Tippecanoe and Tiller, loo-Tippecanos and Tyler, too: And wtih them we'll beat UlU* Van, VanVan is a used np man: And with them we’ll beat little Van. But the hollow emzc of Whiggery subsided almost as quickly as it came: In 1814 the Democracy reunited under James K. Polk, the filrst "dork horse’’ in American politic* Once more the Whig party lifted its, head in 1848, and elected Zachary Taylior, after which it vanished forever. FVom 1852 to 1865 the Democracy held the reins of power, when the long-developing free soil issue culminated in the birth of the Republican party: In these great political changes the "mere election returps offer no intelligent basis for determining the fortunes of a party. In 1836 the popular vote for Van Buren in the 26 States that took part was 761,549, as against the combined Whig vote of 786,656. Van Buren had 170 electoral rotes out of 294, against four Wthig competitor* But only Jour years later Harriion’s popular vote nearly doubled, and the entire Democratic (combination got but 60 electoral votes out of the 294. Four years later tho st-alta tipped back again, only to be reversed once more and then swing baek again to Democracy. If the reader will examine the history of these times lje will see how sensitive is the popular pulse to‘ the merest accidents of political administration. Yet, q^the whole, the average vitality of the Democratic party has remained constant for eighty-eight years. A more astonishing havoc in election figures than the Harrison “hard cider,” ••log cabin” upheaval is seen in the way in which Grant swept the board in 1868 and 1872. In 1868 Horatio Seymour got but 80 electoral votes out of 317, in thirty-seven States, Grant capturing solid" Democratic States right and left. In 1872 the slaughter was still more terrific, and the entire combination of Hendricks, Brown, Greeley, Jenkins and Davis pitted against Grant only secured 63 electoral votes against his 286. The Democracy only got 42 electoral votes this trip; yet. four years later, Samuel J. Tilden had a popular vote of 4.281.885, against 4.033,950 for Hayes. Xo honest man need hesitate to say. tqo, than he bad a majority ot the electonal college, and was fairly elected President of the United States. The real Democratic, sentiment has been at its average pressure since Tilden was cheated out of his seat. It has been merely some unforeseen element that decided the issue in the contest between Garfield, and Hancock, and of Cleveland against Harrison. The real sentiment of She country is as strongly Democratic torday, when given fair expression, as itWaa eighty - eight years ago, when Jefferson founded the party. Democracy still stands for a certain line of principles and tendencies in tree government which are bound to live and to triumph in the long run.: He who flippantly predicts that the Democratic party will not revive for twedty-five, fifty or o*e hundred years can be none other than the insincere charlatan, joker or " bluffer.” No such hollow nonsense will ruffle the faith of an intelligent Democrat, nor will it deter the leading lights of the party from holding to the temperate and reasonable policy of opposing the ©ver-taxa-tion of the masses tyr the benefit of the classes.—Boston Gltioe. -Mr. Russell Harrison is now on the road, with headquarters at Indianapolis.

RACE SEPARATION. Senator Ingalls Pronounce* the Negro** Incapable of Self-Gorernineat. Probably from the force of habit, tho Republican press hoisted the bloody shirt immediately upon a declaration made by Congressman Oates, of Alar bama, tbe other day, that the only way to break the solid South was to eliminate the negro vote. It was amusing, however, to observe how quickly the ensanguined garment was hauled down when that typical' Kansas statesman. John James Ingalls, stepped up to Mr. Oates’ side and signified his readiness to back him up in the statement. For some time Senator Ingalls has been an advocate of race separation, and on one or two occasions expressed views on this subject ' that subjected him to harsh criticism from his own party associates. Now that tho election is over, and his opinions can do no injury to the Republican party, Mr. Ingalls talks more freely than he has heretofore done. Ho says that he is satisfied the change from slavery to freedom, from subordination to race equality, has complicated instead of simplified the race problem. So far from solving the fatal problem, the change has added new elements of difficulty and danger. His study of history has convinced him that it is not possible for two distinct races- not homogeneous to exist upon terms of practical equality under the same government. One or the other must go to the wall. “The black race is not only growing blacker,” says Senator Ingalls, “but it is increasing numerically much more rapidly than'' \o white race. This is a fact of ominous significance, and adds to ihe gravity of the issue.” Speaking of the usual campaign alllegation that the black vote is suppressed in tho Southern States, or, if they vote, their ballots are not counted, Mr. Ingalls is inclined to accept the truth of it. Yet he is frank enough to say that the Southern whites .are sincere in their belief that the negro race is not capable of self-government, and that negro supremacy in those i States would result in tho degrada- ■ tion and destruction of society and tho | State. He is furthermore of opinion that if tho same conditions ex- : isted in any State north of, the j Potomac they would bo followed by ! precisely tho same rosults. Tho white j race would maintain its supremacy, even though, it had to be done by ballot suppression, ♦erefora, he is all I tho more convinced of the impossibility of two such distinct races living together on terms of exact equality. Ho is satisfied in his own mind that raco antagonism in the Southern States is a permanent condition, and that by reason of their superior intelligence, wealth and morality tho whites must !. remain supremo. He, therefore, in the j interest of the colored -man, advocate a speedy race separation, and tho colonizing of the negrooj in the West India islands, alotig the lowlands of Mexico or some place where the regions and environments would bo friendly to the African blood. His idea is to have tho negroes colonized under tho protection of tho United States; that they would be subjects ; of its Government and full sharers of ’ its citizenship, and that thus they may yet accomplish their destiny and fulfill the prophecy that Ethiopia shall stretch out its hands to God and rejoice.—SL Paul Globe. ! 3 /* CURRENT COMMENTS, -Mr. Clarkson says it was Arr.er■an flags that elected Hai rison.
