V ISP" The anarchist who shot Canovas, the Spanish prime minister, a few weeks ago, suffered death by the garrote Fri­ day, He was defiant to the end and gloried in the fact that he had avenged his anarchist friends who had been exe­ cuted through the influence of the Span­ ish minister. |©~The not very cheering advices come from across the Atlantic ocean to the effect that the Spanish anarchists are fleeing to America in considerable num­ bers. The authorities should be on the lookout and-stop them at Castle Garden as this country has "rede" enough of its nativity to look after without being , in­ flicted with the foreign kind. IfeifThebank clearings of last week passed the mark of 1S92 when 40 per cent, the gain being distributed all over the entire country. Larger transactions in dry goods, clothing, shoes, wagons and farm implements is reported than for any week in four years. The tenden­ cy of prices continues steadily upwards, and the coal miners' strike is the only hindrance. It is thought that this will soon terminate. The Syracuse Courier speaks the truth in this pungent fashion: "A news­ paper man offered one of the kidnappers of the Conway boy in Albany S2.500 to take him to the place where the child was concealed and the fellow actually did it. It stands to reason that any full grown man who will for an instant believe a newspaper man to be the possessor of $2,500 has got no business stealing kids for a living. He belongs in an asylum for the feeble minded. . . I I B^°To Senator Teller is credited the foolish remark that theMcKinley admin­ istration wants to retire the greenbacks and make all debts payable in gold. The senator ought to know, and probably does, that all debt6 have been virtually payable in gold since 1879. Stewart, Altgeld, Pennoyer and other silver lead­ ers found this out a good while ago, as is shown by the care which they took to stipulate that all their mortgages should be payable in gold. If W.J.Bryan has aiiy money due him, it is safe to say that it is made payable in gold. In fact there is a pretty close correspondence between the shrill shriek of the Populist leaders for 42 cent dollars for other people and their precautions to extort 100 cent dol­ lars for themselves. 16®°" P. D. Armour, the well known meat packer who has just returned from Europe, says the new tariff bill is the best thing that ever happened to the business interests of the United States. Germany and France have quit threat ening retaliating and both are taking down the wall they had built up against American products, and in a few months our goods will find a market there which they have not had for years. The people of the United States are masters of the situation. Europe is obliged to buy our cereals and there can be just as much wheat exported at $1 per bushel as at 75 cents. The people of Europe will pay one price just 'as quickly as the other Mr. Armour takes a roseate view of the future business prospects of the country i3 sure that confidence has been restored and an era of universal prosperity once more inaugurated. I6T" It should be a source of pleasure to every American citizen to know tha there was a return of prosperity to the country. The casee of the present boom in the west is undoubtedly due in gr< at measure to the large crops and high prices caused by the failure of crops in other countries. But the fact that prosperity has set in in the east, cannot be accounted tor in any other way than by the wise policy of the Republican party in restoring a protective tariff The present boom is not spasmodic, but but will continue to increase, and not only,the manufacturers, but the people generally will soon realize that it is only with a protective and sound financial principles that the counry will be pros­ perous and remain in that, condition. With the restoration of confidence will come a restoration of prosperity.-- Presi­ dent McKinley. UST" The sixteen to one men are now busy explaining that wheat and silver keep abreast under normal conditions, whereas present conditions are abnor- r • _^mal. Do they, indeed, keep abreast under normal conditions? From 1865 to 1893 the statistics show that wheat and silver rose and fell together just ten times Were the other eighteen years abnormal? Or were the ten instances of coincidence nothing more than that? The fact is that the nearest wheat and silver ever approached each other in pricc was in 1865 whes the cereal averaged §1.27 and and the white metal $ 1.33, plus. During the next eight years the two factors so much involved in thiB dispute, went up together once and down together twice. In the other five years of the eight they passed each other five times. It A TRIP UP MOUNT WASHINGTON. 6,300 Fe«t Above the Sea. KBNKBBtr&k POET, ME., Aug. 24,1887. EDITOR PI»AIHI>EAI,EB:-- That is about the height of Mount Washington, where we spent the night of August 19. We left Pabyan's, six miles from the base of the Mount, at 4:40 P. M. in open observation cars. After a ride of about twenty minutes we were trans­ ferred to the train that was to take us up the mountain side. Seated in the car. with the engine behind us--the cars are pushed up the grade, one car to each engine--it seemed impossible that we could be going up such an incline. The maximum grade is 1980 feet to the mile and the average grade is 1300 feet to the mile. During our stay in the mountains we had had many carriage rides over the mountains and had learned to be brave both iD ascent and descent of what seem­ ed almost perpendicular roads. We were getting so brave that we did not curl up our toes in our shoes in our efforts to "hold on." ; But this ! Well we held our breath and clutched at thebacks of the eeatsin front of us, shut our eyes for the start, then on we went at the rate of three miles in one and one-half hours^ Not a tearing rate of speed but quite fast enough for our nerves. As the car started up the incline we turn our backs toward the window, but soon our curiosity and in­ terest got the better of our fear atad we ventured to look forth. Rocks and treen and mountain brooks, with their clear as crystal water, near at hand, while moun­ tain peak after mountain pe ikrose in th<- distance. The higher we went and thf colder it grew, the shorter and more stunted grew the trees. As one ap­ proaches the tree limit he is impressed with the tremendous struggle those trees have to live. Trunks gnarled and twisted, branches thrust out and wound around neighboring trees like the arms of person stretched out to his neighbor for help to live. In one place two trees grew side by sid* so close that the branches of each grew around the trunk of the other, so gnarled so twisted, they looked as though they had fought and struggled until dispair had seized them and they had thrown their arms around each other and died. There they stood, with naked trunks and branches, reminding one of so many human beings, bent, worn and discour­ aged, in their struggle for life. Around them grew what seemed to be their mor< fortunate brothers, the evergreens, smooth, sleek and trim. Higher upon the mountain the evergreens were cover ed with a long hanging moss looking a? though they had just donned their winter furs to prepare them to withstand the cold. A little farther and the same tall evergreens had dwarfed to shrubs, only a foot or two high. Later still to but a few inches in height, apparently creeping on the ground. Then they dis appear entirely and nothing but gras- and the little Alpine flowers are left on the rocks. When we think of the efforts put forth in our western cities to make trees grow with all the earth beneath them, and then drive through the mountains and see large trees growing on the bare rockf- we wonder at the strangeness and par­ tiality of nature It is no uncommor thing in these mountains to see fair sized trees growing on the top of a largf boulder, their roots reaching over and down to find nourishment for the branches. But to return to our trip. After an hour and a half slow toiling up tbt mountain we reached theSummit House. The wind, ladened with a mist that wah almost snow, nearly took us off our feel as we stepped from the car which stopt- directly in front of the house and but a few steps from the door. We were ush­ ered into a large square room that eervt as office and reception room, warmed by a large coal stove which stood in the center. Behind the stove lay two of the largest Mastiff dogs we ever saw. Their like is not to be found in a days journey. In one corner of the room was the sou­ venir counter, without which no moun­ tain house is complete. Baskets of all kinds, sizes and colors, silver souvenir spoons, photographs, views, paper weights, etc. The first time you see them you are tempted to buy the entire stock. The last time you see them you would like to make a bonfire of them all ->The woman at whose house we spent ^Khree delightful weeks said to us one day^ "Every fall I have a bonfire, and burn up the presents I receive during the summer If I did not I should have no room for anything else." On our way up we were told that if wa would register at the Sum mit House we would see our names in the the mountain arrives. Also that the paper would be ready for our in­ spection at 4 A vi. Think of itl Getting up at 4 o'clock to see your name in print Everything at Mt. Washington comes high, to be in harmony with the moun tains we suppose. When we asked the agent for tickets up the mountain he said: "Return tickets') four dollars each." Knowing there was a stage down the other side we answered, "Just up, please." "Same price," he answered. We had no breath to reply. He had taken it completely away, eo we meekly laid down our eight dollars, took our grips and boarded the car. Four and one half dollars a day is the rate at theSummit House, with just such fare and accommodations as at any or dinary hotel. It is said that women like to see their names in print. To prove the saying true we ordered four of the papers, Among the Clouds. "Forty cents, ten cents each," said the boy. They believe in garnering in the shekels while the tourist is abroad, for loLjttfe winter cometh, when no man or woman can venture to the top. As their rent for the season is $12,000 we will forgiye them and hope that others will help them as freely as we have done." We had heard great things of the place and the stormy; HO,; after dinner- we retired for the,night with] a prayer in our hearts if not on our lips, that the fain and sleet which we heard beating against our win­ dows might vanish and be gone before morning so that we could see theBun rise. About half past four the next morning we were awakened by the barking of the dogs in the halls. We had been told that we would be awakened at that hour so that we could be ready to see the sun come up. We did not ask, but we took it for granted that the dogs took the place of "ringing bells." As it was still raining and the clouds were thick about the house we concluded that we would take our accustomed morning nap. But no such pleasure was in store for us. The sleeping apartments are heated by steam, and when it was turned into the pipes they snapped and cracked, making noise enough "to raise the dead," if noise would do it. After many unsuc­ cessful attempts to sleep we gave it up and prepared for breakfast. Raising our curtain we tound that we were literally among the clouds. We could notseeBix inches outside our window for the clouds that surrounded us, except now and then when the wind, which was blowing a gale, would lift the clouds and carry them away for an instant. Then we could catch a glimpse of the blue sky above, of the rocks below and of moun­ tain peaks in all directions around UB We had intended taking the morning car down, but concluded we would waitfo the afternoon train hoping the clouds would clear away and give us the longed for viewB. We watched and waited and shivered--it was only 37° and growing colder--and about eleven o'clock we were rewarded for our patience by having the clouds disappear, giving UB a view not to be described by words. Standing at the base of the mountains they seem to stretch away up to the eky. Standing above them and looking down they seemed to dwarf to half their height as viewed from below. The houses in the valleys looked like toys that one could take up in one's hand, the streams like little silver threads running through the picture. As far as the eye could see were brown peaks and green peaks, green val­ leys and fields dotted here and there wich white houses and barns in red. The railroadB were two long black threads running in and out, up and down among the trees and on the mountain sides. Afar to the northward Lake Umbagog could be seen; in another direction Port­ land Harbftr away on the Maine coast was pointed out to us. The ranges around about us were clearly defined. No one can have any idea of its beauty and wonderfulness until he sees it with his own eyes. "Descriptions never de scribe" unless it be to those who have seen. At two o'clock we began dur descent this time with the engine beneath us to hold us back. Ic takes just as long to descend as to ascend. One place where there were good walking beside the track (no one is ever allowed to walk on the track) a young boy stepped off the train and walked, easily keeping up with the train. The view coming down is much finer than going up, or should I say, in coming down your opportunity of seeing the views is much greater. Going up you look against the side of the moun tain. Going down you look off and away over the other mountains. When we reached the bottom we were both glad and sorry. Then the short ride back to Fayban's and only a few minutes to procure tickets for Portland. Our train comes, we are on earth once more and steaming away through Crawford Notch, which every one should see who comes this way, with^its^Willey Bridge and Frankenstein Trestle that make your head dizzy in riding over them. The latter is 79 feet high and 500 feet long. And on to Portland where arrive tired and hungry, at 8 p. M., to find all hotels filled with visitors to the State Fair. After searches and delays, thanks to a persistent cabman, we are finally taken iu and made comfortable for the night. We have "done" the mountains and are now on our way to the sea. We con­ clude that the pathway of the tourist is not always a bed of roses--at least not thornless ones. MKS. E. H. WALKER, MISS EDITH A. MARTIN. FIFTY PAIRS . LADIES' DONGOLA SHOES.
