Scandinavian Colonists.
Tlio concluding lines of Col. II.
Mattson's "Story of an Emigrant''
contain such a terse and telling argu
ment in favor of the Scandinavians
as Americans that we think it proper
to quote them:
"Yes, it is verilv true, that the
Scandinavian immigrants, from the
early
colonists of 1638 to the present
time, have furnished strong hands,
clear heads and loyal hearts to the
republic. They have caused the wil
derness to blossom like the rose:
they Uavc planted schools and
churches 011 the hills and in the val
leys they have honestly and ably
administered affairs of town, county
and state they have helped to make
wise laws for their respective com
monwealths and in the halls of con
gress they have, with honor and
ability, represented their adopted
country abroad: they have sanctified
the American soil by their blood,
shed in freedom's cause on the battle
fields of the revolution and the civil
war, and, though proud of their Scan
dinavian ancestry, they love America
and American institutions as deeply
and as truly as do the descendants of
the Pilgrims, the starry emblems of
liberty meaning as much to them as
to any other citizen.
"Therefore,the Scandinavian-Amer
ican feels a certain sense of ownership
in the glorious heritage of American
soil, with its rivers, lakes, mountains,
valleys, woods and prairies, and in all
its noble institutions and he feels
that the blessings which he enjoys are
not in his by favor or suffrage, but by
right, by moral as well as civil right.
For he took possession of the wilder
ness, endured the hardships of the
pioneer, contributed his full share
toward the grand results accomplished
and is in mind, and heart a true and
loyal American citizen."
roiitiml Situation in Norway.
-This is the manner in which the
Olsgotcn sizes up the political situa
tion irTNorway: "The liberal move
in :nt it1 Norway is of the greatest
importance to us. Norway will soon
be on the height of political liberty
and social development. No nobility,
•no great landlords, universal suffrage,
free churches, no tariff, an insignifi
cant royalty, popular education,
courts of conciliation instead of war.
Iiat Sweden has the same king as
Norway. And how can the political
barbarism be perpetuated when the
people in the other country of the
king bccomes a thoroughly free peo
ple? Right here lies our great hope,
and that is what makes tiie conserva
tivesmad. This is the reason why
tifetwo peoples must be prevented
from extending their hands to each
other. And this is also the reason
why-the Norwegians and the Nor
wegian government are so despicable
in the royalty, of the clergy,
the ainiy, the landlords and of the
bureaucracy.''

CHINKSE SOLDIEKS
Novel Way In Which They Receive Tlielr
ray.
Cincinnati Enquirer: The Chinese
soldier receives his pay once a month
only, and Chinese months, it may be
remembered, are much larger than
those we are accustomed to reckon
by. On the eve of the pay day the
captain of the company, together
with his sergeant major, goes and
receives the amount of money requisite
to pay his company from his next
superior officer.
This is not paid to him in jingling
coins, but in pure silver, which, how
ever, has been broken in somewhat
irregular pieces. The whole of the
night preceding pay day is occupied in
weighing out for each man the
required quantity of silver, and this
occupation, as may be imagined, is a
very tedious one, and successfully
accomplished by infinite care, for
here a place the size of a pin's head
has to be clipped off, and there a
piece of larger dimensions has to be
added to make up weight, and any
deviation one way or the other means
the loss of perhaps a day's pay or
more to some poor defender of the
Celestial empire.
When the process of meting out is
accomplished the silver is carefully
wrapped in paper, upon which is
written the name of the intended
recipient. On the following after
noon the company is mustered, and
the sergeant major divides the money,
commencing with the first man in
the Company and going on to the
last. When this division is conduced
the question is asked in stentorian
tones: "Has anyone else a claim?''
and the customary "No" having been
promptly given, the men are then
dismissed.
Each one now repairs to the nearest
tradesman's shop, where he exchanges
his silver. For 1 tael lie receives
],000 small coins called cash,
perforated in the center so as to
allow of being threaded on a string,
and having received the proper
amount turns homeward with a
cheerful mien, but nearly sinking
beneath liis burden.
The private receives 31 tael, equal
to about 19 shillings, monthly, out of
which he has to provide himself
with clothes and food. But he lives
on rice and his clothes cost but a
trifle.
KLKCTK1C BOATS.
Scheme To Revolutionize Steamboatlnfr on
the MisslHsippl.
By adding electricity to the motive
power of steamboats a St. Louis
inventor proposes to make them
formidable rivals of railroad lines,
and restore Mississippi and tributary
river traffic to its old-time splendor.
A company has been organized and
incorporated with a capital stock of
$7,000,000.
Although the idea of having
electric steamboats seems strange
and visionary it is claimed that quite
a number of local capitalists and
some Eastern moneyed men are
interested in the novel enterprise.
The boats used for passenger traffic
will not carry freight. It is cxpectcd
that they will make the trip from
St. Louis to New Orleans in two days
and twelve hours, and the return
trip in three days and twelve hours.
The boats will run between St.
Paul and New Orleans. The fare
from St. Louis to New Orleans will
be 85, and the backers of the
enterprise expect to "do ur' the
railroad lines in very short order.
The steamboats will be built on a
new pattern. They will be much
smaller than the boats now in use.
The wheels will be propelled by both
steam and electricity. One engine
and three motors will be attached to
each wheel.
At present the wheel of steamboat
make eighteen revolutions a minute,
but the improved power will cause a
minimum of forty-five revolutions.
Thespeed will be increased to twenty
five or thirty miles an hour, while
ten miles is nowconsidercd very good.
There will be boats exclusively for
freight, which will make slower trips
than the passenger boats. The
passenger steamers will make no long
stops at wharves and landings. Tlicy
will arrive and leave on schedule
time,'only stopping long enough to
take on and put off passengers.
An Aristocratic Female Swindler.
Gwyneth Maude,a girl of eighteen,
was arraigned in police court at
London on charge of stealing silver
salvers and candelabra from Spink &
Son, jewelers. The girl was dressed
in the- height of fashion and was
ladylike in appearance and address.
She resides with her mother in a
swell house in Ilyde Park Gate. The
family iS widely related to aristocratic
families and the arrest of Gwyneth
caused a decided sensation. The
Spinks say that after selecting the
salvers and candelabra, she ordered
crest to be made upon them. The
order was filled and then, by
direction of the firm, the articles
were sent to her residence. They
were not paid for, but as soon as
Gwyneth received them she pawned
them.
This is not the only charge, against
the girl. A representative of a fur
company was in court and made a
charge against her of obtaining a
seal skin mantle, ackci and muff
without paying for them. It is
thought that she obtained in this
manner
over $2,500. When she was
arrested she said: "It's my mothers
fault." The magistrate remanded
her, refusing to acept-bail.

CALIFORNIA GONE DKMOCItATIO.
Sufficient returns have been
received from California to show
that Cleveland has carried the state
by 3,000 plurality. Returns are in
from nearly three-quarters of the
precincts in the state, including
practically all of San Francisco, and
those give Cleveland a plurality of
2.500. Thccliairmanofthcdcmocratic
state committee clams that Cleve
land's plurality will be 4,200. The
republican committee admits that
the state has gone for Cleveland.
The congressional contest is still
doubtful. Three democrats, one
fusionist-democrat and a people's
party man arc elected and probably
three republicans. The republican
committee admits that the demo
crats will have a majority of one
or more on joint ballot in the
legislature. The democrats claim a
majority of from six to eight.

WASHINGTON" REPUBLICAN ALL ROUND
Washington gives Harrison 5,000 to

The legislature is republican on joint

ticket. Unofficial returns received
by both committees at Columbus
show a nearly even vote.

Abont Yonr Breath.
The average human being gets
about one-fourth as much air into
his lungs as he needs certainly not
more than that. A lady who was
thought to have consumption was
told to begin and breathe slowly and
deeply, taking in at each breath all
tlie air her lungs would hold, breath
ing only through the nose. In twelve
hours a marked change for the better
was noticed. She coughed less than
she had done in a month her eye
had a sparkle: her face had begun to
lose its parchment color. She had
the grit to continue the same deep,
slow breathing, and that was the end
of her consumption.
It is laziness that prevents us from
getting the air we need. It is a bore,
and troublesome at first to remember
to fill your lungs as full as they can
hold with air at each inspiration,
letting the resulting contaminated
air slowly and gently out at the nos
trils, but there is magic in it for the
individual who will continue. The
Bible saying that the breath is the
life is exactly true. Wc draw into
our bodies through the nostrils the
very spirit of life itself. Thin blood
is so because it is starved for oxygen.
Give it plenty of that to work on, and
its purifying fires will cleanse your
body and set you free. Good, rich
blood will take the place of the old,
starved, thin fluid your complexion
will become white and red your
whole being elastic. Try it. Take
in air like an ox drinking water—by
the pailful—and you will see what
wonders it will work. Then keep it
up.
New St. Louis*
"St. Louis is already the fifth in
size among the cities of the land, and
would be the fourth if Brooklyn were
rated what she is in fact—a bedcham
ber of New York," writes Mr. Julian
Ralph in Harper's Magazine. He
tells about the remarkable second
growth which the fine old city has
taken on within the past ten years.
The inhabitants now claim a popula
tion of 500,000, and even its rivals do
not deny to St. Louis 470,000 residents.
Mr. Ralph's story illustrates strik
ingly what a city may become when
its own citizens begin to hustle for it.
A few years ago progressive men of
St. Louis began to consider that their
city was getting left in the march of
progress. They resolved it should
not be. The Merchants' exchange
inaugurated the new movement with
a boom. They began to advertise
their city. They started the Autum
nal Festivities association, which pre
pares a sort of Columbus celebration
for St. Louis every fall, coming just
after the leading crops are harvested.
It has brought to the town money,
fame and business.
A new tide of migration has set
towaic! the southwest in the past de
cade. This passes through St. Louis
and leaves its contribution as it goes.
Tlie city is the heart of a vast agri
cultural and mining territory, whose
future development cannot be fixed
by the imagination at present. The
town is not all huddled together, but
its business district covers a large ter
ritory. It has 214 miles of street rail
way tracks, and most of them are
traversed by electric and cable cars.
New York would open its eyes in
surprise at the size of these electric
street cars. Some of them are twice
as large as New York street cars.
But a stranger from the east feels
more at home in St. Louis than in
any other western city, Mr. Ralph
says. He hastens to explain, how
ever, that this is nothing against St.
Louis.
In a comparatively short time he
prophesies that the city on the Mis
sissippi will have a million inhab
itants. Her greatest manufacturing
industries are leer and tobacco. The
city has the la! gist brewery on the
continent-, if io in the world, and
she is at the licarl of the list in the
trade in chewing and smoking
tobacco.
St. Louis has one heart's desire at
present. It is that the United States
government should so improve the
Mississippi river from St. Anthony's
falls to the gulf that it will have a
channel ten feet deep at all seasons of
the year.
OOI.DEN WEDDING IN A I'OOHHOUSE.
Something Akin to .Joy in the Milwaukee
County Institution.
There was a golden wedding
celebrated at the Milwaukee county
poorhouse last week, that of Mr. and
Mrs. .Joachim Borgward. Fifty
years ago, in Altenliagen, Germany,
Mary and Joachim Borgwarn were
married, and ten years later tiiev
caineto America in search of wealth.
Since then their lives have been the
counterpart of many other lives and
now, bowed and feeble and gray,
without kindred or near friends, the
old couple are passing their last days
in a poorhouse. Hearing that the
golding wedding of the two old peo
ple was approaching, the women of
the flower mission and Superintendent
and Mrs. Weidcnkamp determined
that the anniversary slionld not pass
without being duly celebrated.* So
out at the poorhouse there was much
excitement and something that was
almost akin to joy. The door of the
little cell like room, which is all the
old couple can call home, had been
gaily decked with evergreens, wreaths
and stars of gold paper. In the
sitting room, which is used in common
by the inmates, evergreen wreaths
and golden stars were arranged. On
a big table were displayed the gifts
given by the women of the flower
mission and Mrs. Wiedenkamp, wife
of the superintendent. There were
two gorgeous cakes made by a fashion
able caterer. One was illuminated
by fifty wax candles and the other
resplendent in a wreath of golden
leaves, surmounted by a golden
spinning wheel, a compliment to the
bride of fifty years, who is called the
best spinner in the poorhonse. Then
there was a roast duck, crisp and
brown, a bottle of wine, and a big
basket of grapes to add to the
wedding dinner. The old man was
made happy with a fine new pipe, a
big package of tobacco, and a fine
silk bandana, while the little old
woman rejoiced over two fine white
aprons and a red silk handerchief.
WIT HAPPENED.
The Chicago Inter Ocean Think It
Knows.
The democrats will claim that
there has been a charge of sentiment
in the agricultural dictricts regarding
protection. They have all through
the campaign claimed that the
farmers were in favor of tariff for
revenue only. The election of Cleve
land does not prove this. It does not
show that the farmers are in favor of
the democratic platform. Illinois is
a great agricultural state, and the
agricultural districts stood squarely
by the republican platform and the
republican candidates. But Chicago
like New York, with a great floating
vote has overcome the farmer majori
tics for Harrison and Fifer. As New
York state stands to-day for pro
tection outside of the great city, so
does Illinois stand for protection out
side of its great city. Ohio and Iowa
are great agricultural states, and
they are loyal to protection. Indiana
and Minnesota arc agricultural
states, and they are republican.
Kansas and Nebraska are agricultural
states, and tlicy are opposed to Cleve
land.
The democratic victory is due to
two causes and they will both worry
the democratic party as much as the
republican party in the near future,
One' is the fraudulent vote in the
South, where democrats no longer
pretend to say ahe elections express
the will of the people—not even the
will of the majority of the white
people. The other is the great float
ing vote and its corruption in the
great cities. The free use of over
$2,000,000 of money in this campaign
has given this vote to Cleveland.
These are the two dependencies of
the democrats. Both these must be
the subject of reform in the near
future if the republic is to endure.
The people are showing a restlessness
regarding both these agencies of the
democracy. How much longer will
they submit to a handful of old
malcontents in the south, subordinat
ing the will of the people in the
section by fraud, and handing over to
the democracy the solid electoral
vote made up and majorities agreed
upon before election instead of after.-1
They may yell "force bill," whenever
this subject is mentioned, but the
north will not much longer submit
to such control of the government.
The other agent, the purchasable
vote of great cities, is already
regarded as a serious menace to free
institutions, not only by republicans
but by democrats.
Both these enemies of the republic
will some day be defeated. The
democratic, party has profited by
their existence in this election. Will
they have the courage to correct both
evils or will they encourage both
until there is an uprising among the
people to smash a fraudulent solid
south as tlicy smashed slavery, and
rid the suffrage of the scum of
creation that infests our great cities,
and is regarded as scum by all parties
except at times of elections? The
farmers and the mechanics are still
for the basic principle of this govern
ment, protection of American insti
tutions and American industries.
And in the end they will control this
government.
BULL-FIGHTING IN CHICAGO.

A bull tight is soon to be announced

A real, sure-enough bull light, too,
with matadors, toreadors, banderillas,

And. what is of more importance,
it is intended that the fight shall be
given right in Chicago. A local com

theater will be erected, and the most

needed to emphasize the impudence
of foreigners, it was furnished when
the humane society was overlooked
and an application made to tlie expo
sition company for a concession.
By the side of this the Sunday clos
ing and the liquor questions pale into
insignificance. New resolutions will
have to be drawn up, ECW petitions
signed, and at its next meeting the
national commission will have to
listen to a new lot of orators.
The matador really does intend to
invade Chicago. But the bull-fight
lie wishes to make is child's play com
pared to that indulged in by Spain,
Cuba or Mexico. Last week an ap
plication was filed with the ways and
means committee for a privilege for
the. lights to be given at Jackson
Park. The gentleman who desires to
arrange for the concession will guar
antee that all cruelty will be abol
ished. The bulls' horns will be so
padded as to make it impossible for
the animals to do any goring. Tlicy
will also wear upon their backs pad
ded blankets, into which the small
spears will be hurled. The picadors
will carry blunted lances, and the*
swords
of the matadors will be mere
stage swords, arranged so that the
blades will curl back into the handle
i\stead of entering the bull when the
death blow is given.
It is hardly probable that the expo
sition will give a concession, as there
is a lack of space at the park. But
the fights will take place just the
same, and it may be will prove as
popular as they are in Madrid.

Peter Schultz, the sixteen-year-old
boy who was convicted of the murder
of a three-month-old child, Mary
Werthemer, last week has' been
sentenced to death during the week
beginning Dec. 10 next.
The horrible crime for which he
was sentenced has been fully told.
Hitherto the prisoner had evinced
absolutely no feeling in regard to the
crime or his own fate. Even his
counsel could not see the least signs
or trace of fear or remorse, but yes
terday, after he realized the fearful
fate which awaited him,he weakened.
He begged piteously with terrs stream
ing down his face, that his counsel
interfere in his behalf to do some
thing to save him.
Schultz will be the youngest victim
to suffer death by means of the elec
tric chair, unless he is granted clem
ency by Gov. Flower. He has no
friends in this country to look after
his iLtere:-ts.

A Warning to Matrhmukcrs.
New York Ledger: It may be
questioned whether It is not much
more injudicious to urge marriages
than to prevent them. In tlie one
case the wretchedness maybe slower
in coming, but it is none the less
sure and far-reaching in it evil effects.
It takes a vast deal of grace for
people to live together in harmony
the year in and the year out, and
there must be some natural attraction
or something more than somebody's
whim or convenience to keep things
even and preserve that unity £nd
sympathetic consideration that are
absolutely necessary to make home
life worth the living. Therefore,
whatever else you do, never urge a
marriage. Marriage is one of the
things that must be desired, and
that ardently, by the contracting
parties. No one has a right
interfere,

general
health is excellent, but his Majesty's
spirits are much depressed. Several
specialists have been in consultation
and pronounced the cause of the re
turn of the old trouble to be the effect
of a cold. You can see from this, how
important it is that we should take
care of a cold, no matter how slight
it may be. A cold is apt to settle in
any part of the body and especially if
there be any chronic trouble, it seeks
it out and aggravates it. When you
take cold get a bottle of
