It is pleasant to read that the opin ion against the wicked Democratic gerry mander of legislative districts in Wiscon sin was written by the Itewccratic Chief Justice Kinney of that Hale, a great law yer and an honest man .

"Beware of the Greeks nhenihey bring gifts." Amoxu the iron-workers in England 2.5 per cent, own their own homes. Among the iron-workers in the United States 20 per cent, own their own homes. This explains why the iron-workers fa vor protection in this country. The decision of Attorney General Hen eel that September 13 was the last day for filing certificiies of nomination was inevitable, under the law. The name of Josiah D. Hicks, the Republican candi date for Congress in this district, will be regularly placed npon the ticket and his election will follow as a matter of course. The faverite argument of Democrats against the abolition of slavery was, "Do yon want yourJaughter to marry a nig- per The favorite argument of Demo crats to-day against protection to Ameri can industries is, 'Do you want negro domination?" The country paid no at tention to the first bogy bat abolished slavery. It will pay no attention to the present bogy but protect American inter ests against England. The People's candidate for President, Gen. J as. li. Weaver, and Mrs. Lease, the Kansas "cyclone," were shamefully treated by a mob of Democrats in Geor gia, and prevented from speaking in be half of the cause of their party. Free speech is evidently not popular with the outlaws who have terrorized that State all tese years, and who propose to pre vent any innovations even if they have to cause a corner in egs in doing it. No country in the world is bo pros perous as is the United States, and none is keeping stride wiia ns in our forward march. In no other country is labor so amply rewarded, or the laboring man so well fed, so well clothed, so well housed, or his wife and children so well cared for. In no other country does the farm er receie si great a remuneration for his toil or have the benutof so ample anil profitable a Lame market. No other country in the world could have provid ed for and paid the enormous debt with which we were burthened by the war for the Union, aad io country in the world has better credit, or stands higher in the marts of trade and commerce. And yet with grand present, and glow ing future we have it daily dinned into our ears bv the Democratic party, that the Protective system under which we have so prospered for the last thirty jears isa frau,!, a robVry. and nnccn fclilutiocal, and must be wiped out Hear ye I good men and true! and answer at the ball ct box ! Is i:is letter cf scccptanee Grover Cievt lacd innkts a bid for the soldier vote br devoting a paragraph of hypo critical j raise to the men who saved the nation in the hour of danger. The veter ans know Mr. Clevelsnd. They know Bel j iraia Hrrison. No suionnt of flat tery by the Democratic candidate or of falf-:fi;-alion by hi party organs can ob literate the record. Herewith is the first absolutely accurate statement published showing the facts in regard to the treat ment of the Union veterans by Mr. Cleve land and President Harrison. During his four years of office Mr. Cleveland signed I 4ti pension bills and vetoed 24. Up to the present time lierjamin Harrison has signed 1,570 spe cial pension bills and vetoed notit. Veterans of the Union, which w ill you support, the politician w ho sent a sub stitute to the front and as President took a malignant pleasure in adding to his pension vetoes every sneer of w hich his clumsy wit was capable, or the loyal comrade who shared your perils with you, and whore pen has gladly signed e"ery bill to relieve jour needs that haj come before Lim? S rKs3ofthe Democratic platform adopted at Chicago in June last, declares that: AVe denounce Republican protection as a fraud, a rTw of the great majority of the American people for the benefit of the few. We declare it to I a funda mental principle of the Democratic party that the Federal government has eo right to impose and collect tariff duties, except for tie purpose of revenue only, etc In bis letter of acceptance, published a f w days since, Mr. Cleveland twists and quibbles in bis discission of the tar iff question but nevertheless declares that protection is unconstitutional, a perni cious doctrine, nnjost and unfair. So satisfactory i th is letter to the Free Tra ders, that Henry George, w hose reputa tion as aa opponent of protection is world-wide, says of it in the free trade Standard: "The Democratic candidate has not swerved one ft.tir' brr.ith from the radic al declaration on the tariff qnestion made bvithe Ieniocratic party at Chicago, and frankly, fully and unequivocally declares against protection, high or hit, as anti American, and unconstitutional, as a robbery and a fraud." The issue is now fkirly joined, and no amount of wriggling, or equivocation, can change it one iota. Every Democratic leader since the days of Thomas Jeffer son has declared protection to be uncon stitutional, and the bowl now raised against it is but a repetition of the cry nu tred by modern Democrats against eve ry measure adopted by the Republicans. The war for th preservation of the Un ion was declared unconstitutional, as was the issue of greenbacks, the abolition of slavery, etc, etc-, ad tauvim. On one side of the issue stands Grover Cleve land with Henry Watterson, Henry George, Roger Q. Mills and other disci ples of John C. Calhoun and Jeffersca Davis behind him endeavoring to put in force the doctrines of the Confederate Constitution, which would blight our in dustries and lace American labor in un restricted competition with the serf and pauper lalwr of the old world, while on the other side stands Benjamin Harrison and the entire Republican party, reso lutely advocating the protection of American industry, the development of new manufactures, the payment of high wages nnd the security and prosperity of American homes. This is the one great issue of the pres ent campaign, and we have no doubt of the result when the verdict is made ap in November next. Let the cry be Harkisox amd Pbotectios! No FHt Trade! No I'aitpkb Labor! The Real Trouble In New York. From the Chicago Inter Ocean. The National Iemocratic Campaign Com mittee has tried its beat to bring about har mony in the De-jocracy of New York. To that end all iw energies and strategic re sources have been directed. That was good politics. The Democrats must carry New York or the Eht is lost, The Slate was never so absolutely pivotal as it is now. But some way the more they bring the factions together the farther apart they are. Govern or Hill and Ikmrke Cockran have each made a fjieech or two, and, to every demand of Tammany, the committee has said yes with an.aiacrity bordering hard on cringing servili ty. But those few men are powerless. They can cry harmony till they are black in the face without bringing it about. The committee is iu favor of uncondition al surrender to Tammany. A local election city and county, is to be held in New York City at the same time with the National, and Tammany demands ail the spoils, and that without a fiht. The County Democracy rebelled against Hill and fought him success fully. It got Cleveland, and that, contends the tiger, should satkfy the "anti-snappers." The committee thinks so, too, and Mr. Cleve land is perfectly clear in his mind that the concession demanded should be made. He sees himself under a microscope. To his way of thinkinir. G. C. are the initials of political reform in all its phases, and his own personal promotion to office the omega of every aspiration for better government. He has just returned to New York City, abandoning Buzzard's Bay for the season that he may nrge his view upon bis friends. But the County Democrats still persists in the determination to put a ticket in the field. The real danger to the Democracy of New York lies mainly, however, in the wide stead distrust of the better element of the party. By the ' better element" we do not mean the gentlemen who wear imported clothes ar.d measure everything by the Brit ish yardstick, but the men of intelligence and reflection w'ao put country before party, and as for the spoils of politics care nothing about tbem. This class of Democrats do not jump up and waves flag to attract public attention, but when they go to the polls they will see that their vote is not for free trade and hard times. The longer the campaign goes on the mare such Democrats there ate. Mr. Cleveland's letter of acceptance, with ail its evasive platitudes, can not undo the mis chief of the platform. It is now twenty-eight years since George B. Mct'lcllan was Doninated for President. He wa bound to be defeated any way. The electoral vote stood : Lincoln, 1'12 ; McClel laa, 21. But branding the war aa a failure greatly lessened the McClellan vote. The poor man tried to knock out that plank, bat he could not do it any more than Cleveland can knock from under him the plank which declares protection a fraud, and unconstitu tional at that Lilly Macbeth 's band with its indelible blood stains may well serve as an illustration of the hopelessness of all attempts by a candi. date, or his friends, to get rid of a bad plank in a platform. The people know that the resolutions adopted by a National con vention are a truer guide to the real senti ments and purposes of a party tbaa any thing else could be. It U now forty yeaM sincsthe last Whig campaign for the Presi dency. Horace Greely tried to save the day by promptly and vigorously announcing that while he supported the ticket he spat upon the platform. He sought in that way to conciliate thj anti-slavery element of the party. It did no good. General Scott, w.th all his brilliant military record, waj utterly routed, and that, too, by a very weak candidate P.ai forms, when ones ta ulc, can not be unmade. New Ycrk is a vast beehive of skilled in dustry. The carrying out of the free trade policy as outlined in the Chicago platform of last summer or in Cleveland's letters and messages would paralyze the industries of the State eome directly, others indirectly, but all would suff-rone common disaster. I Therein lies the great weakness ofGrjver Cleveland's candidacy. Can't Figure up the Expense. From the P'gh Chronieale Teleirrapa. The Country Commissioners are not at tempting to figure on the expense of the coming election, as they have do idea what it will be. At a rough guess they calculate it will take about $JJ .Goo to pay for the print ing of tickets. They bought 450 ballot boxes at a cost of (3,73 a piece. This U over fl.Got) more. The cost of delivering the tickets to the various polling places will be anothtr considerable item, as it will take a horse and wa.on to every 8 or 10 d stricts. There are 427 districts. Then tbey expect to pay a considerable sum for rent for rooms in which to hold the election. For instance, take the second district of Braddock Township w hich has l,ul registered voters. This will Lectsitate the ruttinu up of 20 booths. As each booth o tcupie a jce of 30 in-Le it ill take lr) (vet of room to set up these heaths. There are several other places w here nearly the same space Li required. Another tl.irg that puzzles them is the printing of the tickets. This matter his not been de-ciJed yet, but it is more than likely that the width of the ticket will te increased instead of the length. HIT THE BOOLE! BANS, The Leaders Died With Their Boots On- Ramsey is Captured. Usioktows, Pa, Oct, 2. Frank Cooley, the leader of the famous Cooley outlaw band, was shot and killed to-day at his father's home by a posse under Ehcriff McCormkk, of Fayette County. Cooley has been in the habit of spending bis Sundays atjiheold homestead, and Sheriff McCormick. learning of this, quietly bad the place surrounded last night Thirty of the famona Cooley family are still alive and at liberty. Jack and Frank are dead, killed because of their lawlessness ; Albert is in the penitentary and Dick in the workhonae. The story of the killing of Frank by the sberia's party yesterday is a thrilling one. Jack Ramsey, who was lying beside bis chief in the sun jumped op and broke into a run for the woods close by, but Cooley was game and began to shoot, showing no signs of fear. Sheriff McCormick was in the lead of his party, and Cooley directed his fire toward the seriff alone firing six shots at McCormick. When the last ball was fired the sheriff was so close to the bandit that be was knock ed down by the wind of the bullet which whizzed within an inch of his bead, and dropped on his knees. Not until then did the sheriff fire. A large snag or stomp was directly between the two, and the sheriff's shots could not reach the outlaw. The coroner's inquest did not develop who shot Cooley. Other members of the sheriff's posse were to the right of the two principal combatants, firing at the outlaw, and were in a better position to hit him than the sheriff was. It is evident that a bullet from the gun of the party to the right hit the out law, the ball that killed him being fired from a lar-e old fashioned smooth bore rifle (hoot ing an extra large ba!L Sheriff McCormick testified before the coroner that when he reached the wounded outlaw he as dy. tig and could only gasp out : "You Lave done your duty." Several letters were found on Cooley 's person, one dated last March and directed to Frank Pierce, Sedalia, Mo. Its contents indicated that the letter was from his home at Smithficld to the outlaw himself, who bad left during the hot hunt tSat was then iu progress for him here and bad gone nnder the name of Pierce to the west The other letter was a recent one written by a dentist in the southern rt of Fayette county to the outlaw chieftain. Its purport was a proposition that Frank should deliver him self to the writer on certain conditions regard ing the $1,5j0 reward, the writer modestly only wanting f3t0 for his services in making the transfer, the balance of the blood money to be at the disposition of the outlaw for giving himself up and saving further trou ble. It was evidently not considered very favorably. The wound in Frank Cooley's back, which last night was taken to confirm the story that he was the man young Priu key bad shot at Gibbons Glade during the raid of a week ago is now unaccounted fur in the light of a new story that comes from a reliable source this morning. The relator ssys that he knows that Jeff Swaney, one of the gang, is now lying mortally wounded at his father's house, above Ilaydentown, and that he was the one Prinkey shot The posse that pursued Ramsey hunted for him all night They had him surround ed and headed off from the mountains, but in the darkness be eluded them. They did not give up, however, and just before noon the news eeached here that Milton Mc Cormick, Rev. Hunter and A. J. Hicks had captured Ramsey several miles above Fair chance, and now have him in custoJy in McCormick 'a house at Fairchance. He had exhausted his ammunition, and had to sur render. They w ill bring him to jail at once. This effectually breaks up the gang, and the people of the community feel freer than the have for two years. The thanks of the community are being showered in on the sheriff for bis persistency and courage in the hunt for the outlaws. Secret Service Detective Fisher is also deserving of much of the credit for the last scenes, for it was he who went to the country and shadowed the gang until he learned their habits and enough of the country to plan the raid that was so successful yesterday. The question of who is entitled to the re ward of $l.oU0 for killing the outlaw is free ly discussed. The reward was offered tor Frank Cooley alone, as he was considered the most dangerous man of the gang : It was not offered for him "dead or alive," but for the delivery of his body to the jail or the keeper of the jail. Sheriff McCormick will not bring the body to jail, the body being in his custody as keeper of the jail by being guarded at Lute Cooley's house. The date for Cooley's funeral has not been set A Campaign of Cowardice. One feature is prominent both in the let ter of acceptance of the free trade candidate for the Presidency and in the arguments of his supporters, and that is a cowardly pur pose to achieve by indirection what they dare not openly maintain. The course of tha free traders, Cleveland, Russell and the res, reminds on very much of the attitude cf the Copperhead Democracy in 18o4, when Adlai Stevenson and his associates were ex citing among the brave men at the front the feelings expressed in the old war song: Tell the traitors all around you That their cruel wonts we know. In every battle kill our soldiers liy the help they give the foe. The Democracy then was for peace with secession as the Ietnocrary to-day is for free trade. But the Copperhead speakers and writers did not dare to come out in plain terms for what they wanted, so they de nounced the war, and did what tbey could in aa indirect and cowardly way to cripple the arm of the government. The loyal people, however, saw the real issue at stake, and decided against secession. From the moment that the result of the election of November, lW, was known, the final col lapse of the Confederacy began, and the in surrection terminated a few months later. The enemy by which the industries of America are menaced to-day is just as dan gerous to the welfare of the t merican peo ple as the enemy of ISO t, and the freetraders of Great Britain, like the following of Jeffer son Davis, look for success to the treachery and misrepresentation of their allies in the councils of Democracy. As the leopard can not change its spots, so the Democracy can not change its methods, and cowardly sub terfue is stiil characteristic of the Champi ons of free trade now, just as it was charac teristic of the champions of disunion and free trade thirty years ago. The same cow ardly tactics are pursued, the same fraudu lent methods are resorted to, and the same rrsultwillbe recorded at the close of the polls in November. It is a mistake for a political candidate to act upon the ansa mo tion that the American people are fools. J. D. Micks' Name Will be In the Republican Column on the Official Eallot. Secretary Harrity on Monday addressed a letter to Attorney-Gent ral Hensel asking to be advised whether, ender tbe present ballot law, the last day for filing certificates of nominations fell upon September 12th or Ittb. The Attorney General yesterday answered to tbe effect thai the law should be literally construed, and, after citing authorities, he decides that September 13th is at least fifty six days before the election, and certificates filed on that date entitle tbe candidates' names to be placed on the official ballot. The ;ame principles apply to the other lim itations in Section 5 of the Act. This legalizes the papers of J. D. Hicks, the Republican candidate for Congress in this District, and the Democratic nominee for the Le..rU'.aLure in Venango, both of which were filed on September I3th. Highest of all in Leavening Tower. Latest U. S. Gov't Report ABSOLUTELY PURE Held .For Treason. Pmssrio, Oct, 1. Nothing done since the first trouble at Homestead, except possibly, the attempt on the life of H. C. Frick, has caused more talk than tbe act of Chief Justice Paxson in issuing warrants for the arrest of thirty- three Homsstead men charg ed with treason. This is the first time that the charge of treason has been brought in any State for acts arising from a strike or labor trouble, and it is the talk among the attorneys that it certainly is proper that the great industrial State of Pennsylvania should be first to settle this question as to whether armed resistance to law is treason. All the judges of the city, consulted over the cases yesterday in their chambers in the court house. District Attorney Burleigh and Lawyer P. C. Knox were sent for, and held a long consultation with the Chief Justice, after wbich the Justices again consulted, and then District Attorney Burleigh and Mr. Knox were instructed by the Chief Justice to prepare informations, and County Detec tive Beltxhoover was ordered by the Chief Justice to make information and tbe Chief Justice signed the warrants for the arrest of the accused. It is not likely that any application for release on bail will be made to day, but applications will be heard Mon day. The most novel part of the cases will be their subsequent dispositions. Tbe Chief Justice will hear application for liail and before tbe cases go to the grand jury he will call that body before him and deliver to it a special charge on treason, fully defiuing the crime and commenting on thecases. Soould true bills be found, a proceeding never seen before will occur. Chief Justice Paxson, an ex-oflicio judge of the court of oyer and terminer, will si in that court for Alleg heny county and try the cases. This will indeed be a novel and heretofore unknown thing and will attract the attention of the world and make the cases by reason of their peculiar circumstances of world-wide noto riety. Messrs. Brennan and Cox, attorneys for the strikers, are highly indignant over what they term persecution of the defendants, and made some Very uncomplimentary remarks about the cases and those engaged in pro secuting them. They claim to have no fear about the outcome, and ray it will not be possible to make treason out of the acts of the Advisory Committee. They hinted that the long contemplated seuits for treason against the Carnegie people would now be pushed. O'Donnell, Critchlow and Clifford,' three of the accused, are now in jail, mak ing nine already under arrest It is exist ed that more arrests will be made to-day. "Shotfcun Protection."

A pathetic inci dent to-day marked the progress of the se vere epidemic of diphtheria which, during the last two weeks, has carried off many children and has caused the closing of sever al of the public schools.

The Postofhce Department will place the new return postal card on sale early in Oc tober. Postmaster General Wanamaker has approved two designs, one for domestic and tbe other for international service. The half of the double card (the domestic), to which a reply is desired is 21 inches wide by 51 inches long. On the top of the card the words " Postal Card with Iaid Reply" and " United States of America'' are engraved. In smaller type are the words: "This side for address only." In the uj-per right band corner is a vignette of General Grant This is encircled by a frame, with the words "Message Card" at the lop and at the bot tom the words " One Cent." The face of the return card is similar to the message card. But instead of words " Tostal Card for Reply" there is substituted "Reply Postal Card." Tbe international card is slightly smaller than the domestic At the top of the card are the words " Postal Card with Paid Reply" and a French trans lation and " Universal Postal Union" and " United Stales of America." The message and reply card are one piece of cardboard folded together and creased in the middle.
