"With Thurman to make the speeches and Cleveland to write the messages, it OCCDI3 to us that the ground of the campaign ia about covered. If the other fellows say anything it will be old straw threshed over. If the Democrats do their whole duty says the Boston Globe and cast all their votes for the Democratic ticket, the electoral vote of Massachusetts w 111 go to the Democratic President. All the other elements aie favorable for Demos cratic success. Cait. Manton, United States Con sul at Uruguay, says that the American &.g is seen less in Uruguay ports than even that of Turkey, and, what Is more, American shipping gets but 6 per cent, of the f-250.0OO,OOO of the commerce from that countr's ports every year. England carries the greater part. Judge Thurman arbitiated the dif ference between the Hocking Valley miners and operators, deciding that the former were entitled to an ad vance of 10 per cent, on their wages. This is a much better record as a "friehd of the woikiDgman" than Levi P. Mortan, the Republican candidate, can boast of. Tni Shah of Persia has announced his intention of again visiting Europe. It la not known what the object of the Shah's visit is. Diplomats are of the opinion he is desirous of making the best terms te can with the Czar of Rus f ia, who threatens to occupy pait of his territory, and, failing in that, to secure the support of some European power in opposing him. The Democratic State Committee which met at Harrisburg on Tuesday, nominated Henry Meyer, cf Allegheny county, for Auditor General. Resolutions were made endorsing President Cleveland's efforts to preserve to American fishermau their rights and demanding that Congress shall forth wllh strengthen bis hands by enacting the legislation he has recommended. Quay has got Harrison anchored on a lonely island in Lake Erie and Is con gratulating himself that at last his can didate, if not keeping his mouth closed, is in a locality where he can not be heard. Quay's next problem is to get Blaine to visit Harrison and then burn all the boats that ply between the island Aod the balance of the outside world. What a relief it would be to Quay to bave Blaine and Harriton silenced until after the election. In the Berks county Democratic Con vention held at Reading on Tuesday, Congressman Ermentrout was defeated for fifth term. All opposition candi dates united on the third ballot oa David B. Bruner, who received 9 votes to Ermentrout'a 70. Resolutions were adopted endorsing the Democratic members of Congress for the passage of the Mills bill and especially commend ing the President for bis bold and patri otic stand on the subject of the Canadi an fisheries. The resolutions also endorsed the course of their representa tive Hon. Daniel Eimentrout in Congress. Allen G. Tdckmas, the Old Roman was wildly cheered all along the route to and from Port Huron last week and at Chicago more than 30,000 people turned out to do him honor. He made a number of plain convincing speeches on the tariff question, and those who had the good fortune to heir him are stronger than evf r In the opinion that the tariff is a tax not only upon import ed but also npon domestic products ; that the prefect high duties are unne cessary, unequal and unjust, and that they are of direct benefit only to mon opolists at the expense of the work In g ncen. Judge Thurman also spoke in caustic style of the the Know-nothing party, to whom an Irishman was an abomination at abominations, and of how the same people who wepe engaged in the pro scription of American citizoa for conscience' sake are now seeking the It'.sli vote ty misrepiea)atiDg Graver Cleveland and asbertkg that he is ucder liiitibb influence. The Democratic State committee on Tuesday, sajs the Pittsbur; rost. nom inated Henry Meyer. Esq.. of this city, for Auditor General. Mr. Meyer stands high here at home in his party and with his political opponents. He is thorough ly welt qualified for the position, and will make a good roo. Whether Le gets there or not it is quite certain that Mr. McCamant will haye to hustle to beat him, and the red-haired and hypocritic al Republican chairman will need to marvbal his cohorts to the test of his ability. Mr. Meyer ought to be elected. The office of Auditor General ia an import ant one. It has been in the control of the Republicans for a good many years, and it ia time there was a rotation and change in that office. We had a pretty general overhauling of Capitol nill when Mr. Pattison was Governor and Mr. Africa Secretary of internal affairs, but even at that time the Treasury and the Auditor Geueral's cilice were in the bands of the Republicans, and were not weeded out as all departments should be. There may be nothing wrong in that department of the State Govern ment, and then there may be. We believe that Mr. Meyer can be elected. He is a fine specimen of man hood morally, mentally and physically. He is perfectly adapted to the task of overhauling the Auditor General's de partment, and administering the office in the best Interests of the State. He is not known as a practical politician, and is not a chronic office seeker, but be is a man of affairs, a representative of the young Democracy, as Governor Pattison was, with a pleasing presence that wins friends everywhere by He frank, earnest honesty. Allegheny coubly will do its duty by him. It will give him a rousing good vote, comprising the solid and harmo nious Democracy, with a very respecta ble Republican contingent. If it did less than this it would not do half its duty. And the prospects are that the rest of the State will get out more than an off year's vote for him. In fact. Democracy is blooming in the old Keys stone State this year, and baa a buzz saw that is not safe to monkey with. It bas a righteous cause to fight for, and that is a big element of strength in a ilght. In Mr. Meyer it has a good candidate to fight for, and thereby Is strengthened. The 1'ost bespeaks for the candidate nominated on Tuesday the best efforts of every Democrat in the State as a man worthy of their franchises and good wishes. And it bespeaks for him the vote of every honest man in the State Whether he be a Democrat or not, con fident that such votes will not be mis placed. And the Post believes that there are a great many honest men in this State, not strictly Democrats, who are going to vote Democratic tickets in the interest of good government for the people. The Republican Senate having re jected the treaty with Canada which was believed to be a fair and equitable adjustment of the Fisheries question. President Cleveland on Thursday of last week sent a message to Congress and the Senate recommending a plan of re taliation. It came upon the Republican Senators like a thunderbolt from a clear sky and completely dazed them. They rejected the treaty from purely partisan motives, intending to cbaige the Presi dent wllh neglecting to protect Ameri can interests in Canadian waters but tte President has taken them at their word and asks of them the power to retaliate on the Canadians. If they grant his request and be rails to protect our In terests then they may have some cause to complain. But the reeponsibility is now on the Senate to sustain the raLri oiic position of President Cleveland, or bow in humble submission to British influence Tbe Canadian question briefly stated Id this. Our fishermen have been subjected to all sorts of annoyances, tbe greatest or which Is tbe refusal to allow them to ship their fih free of duty. It was a disputed Question whether they had a right tinker the treaty of Washington, which baa expired. At all events they have no such rights now. That Is plainly ahown. To settle everything peaceably a com mis. slon was appointed to draft another trpatv Meanwhile the Act of 1387, known as the re taliation Act, was passed, giving the Presl aent power in case of provocation to sus pend all commercial relations with Canada Supposing that Article 29 was still la force Mr. . Edmunds led bis artisans Into i declaration against any new treaty, claiming that all that was necessary was to enforce our rights. Article 29 Is dead, consequently mere la nothing left for Mr. Eamonde base bis claims upon. Do bas releeted the new treaty and has refused to suggest any amendments that would be satisfactory to Dim . Negotiations with Canada are now aff Tbe Tresldent bas done his best to settle all questions by arbitration. The Senate bas defeated this, and be now meets tbe Senate face to face on its own ground. Chairman Quay, says the Cincin nati Enquirer, baa been advised to take Mr Blaine in charge and keep him from running away from tbe Republican plat form. That ia too big a job for Quay. While Republican journals bave been circulating misrepresentations about tbe situation in the Democratic Cam paign Committee the Republican organ ization has been at loose ends. Mr. Quay, the Chairman, seems to be the least influential person in tbe party establishment. lie was against any tinkering with the tariff in tbe Senate, but was overridden. He was in favor of rt-cogniz ng the Mahone element in Virginia, but was overwhelmingly voted down. And now there seems to be a conspiracy to get bim politically entangled with Blaine, and killed. The people are now paying J130.000-, 000 annually for tbe privilege of contin uing a prohibitory tariff. This large amount of money is extracted from the pockets of the people on necesaarta of life. It ia tlGO.000,000. remember, more than every legitimate demand for running he Government. Thia money is simply robbery. It is the penalty for continuing the Trusts. It is a premium to prohibitory tariffites. It benelta tbe , manufacturer at the expense of the j farmer and tbe consumer. j Ske that every Democrat in your j diatiiot it rrgUteird. The Message and the SltaaUoa. The masterstroke of public policy achieved by f he President last week has a moat important party effct,but is not, on the President'" aide, of partisan ori- 8,Secretarv Manning, as well as Presi dent Cleveland, early In the present ad min ietrattoo wrote vigorous State papera on tbe fisheries dispute, and united in predicting that unless diplomacy was successfully invoked to terminate the difference between tbe United States and England's North American Domin ion more radical measures would neces sarily be resorted to. Tbe fisheries treaty was rejected by the Senate for no other conceivable rea son than to prevent tbe advantage that Democrats would derive from tbe set tlement of so important a qaestion by President Cleveland. It is true that fault was found with some of the pro viaiona of the treaty aa agreed upon, but it was within the power of the Senate to pass amendments securing the re moval of any objectionable features. Tbe Senate exercised such power In the ease of tbe Chinese treaty when 'it was politics" to do so, and tbe amend ments thus made were the occasion of the postponement of tbe actual operation of that very bappv solution of a danger ous auestlon. But the Senate, which amended for partisan motives in one case, refused for similar reasons to even take amendments under consideration ia tbe otbei case, thus making contra i dictory records on similar matters with the sole purpose of "putting Cleveland In a hole." But the President was not made the victim of the Republican plot to fasten noon bim the blame for the contiuanee of British annoyance to our commerce and fisheries. In bis message be com pletely turned the tables by the coura geous discharge of a manifest duty. He asked an extension of tbe power of retaliation conferred upon tbe Execu tive, to that, if Canada continues to Impose upon our citizens, punishment upon tbe unneignnoriy uominion may be inflicted without injury to Ameri cans. Any suspension of intercourse regard ing tbe fisheries or of direct commerce between Canada and tbe United States, would necessarily inconvenience Ameri can business. i3ut Canada bas long enjoyed, through our good nature, tbe privilege of transporting in bond across our territory goods taken for through shipment by Canadian transportation lines. In this way tbe British bave nearly absorbed the trade, via America, between China and Japan aod Europe ; and there is no reason to suppose that tbe English lines would soon monopolize that important commerce, because their routes are shorter than ours, tbe dis tance over any of them being nearly 1,200 miles less than that of anj United States line. Senator Gorman ot Maryland explain ed this matter very fully in tbe debate which occurred la the first week of this month. Few foresaw that tbe heated discussion of that day would be but a prelude to an exciting agitation in which all the people of the United States would be engaged. In the field cf party politics tbe force of the President's position Is simply this : Tbe Republican campataru on the cry of Democratic subserviency to Bri tish Interests Is silenced. There can be no more flaunting of the Union Jack in the face of American voters to induce their suffrages in favor of the Republi can party. The American flag is now. in tbe sight of all, as it ever should be, the symbol of Democracy. It is the Democratic President wbo Hands for American rights against all comers, be the consequences.wbat they may. It is tbe Republican party that exercises the Senatorial veto power to prevent the vindication of American equality with Great Britain and to cripple the author ity of our Government to compel justice to its citizens living abroad or engaged in pursuits that take them beyond our borders. The question is complicated as well as Interesting, and must furnish food for niucu discussion durinsr the eamDairn Tbe issue of tariff and taxation will not be dropped, but the people will realize that Democratic administration if run ning upon i.s recoru, and that every thing President Cleveland and his ad visers have done in matters of Impor tance is to be lasen Into account in determining bow votes shall be cast on Election day JV. 1'. Star. A Blew at Canada. The President's message to Congress oesires legislation wnicn shall give tbe Executive nower Mto suioend bv nrrj-ia mation tbe operation of all laws and re gulations permitting the transit goods, wares and merchandise in bond across or over tbe territory of the Uni ted States to and from Canada." The snarls which come from Canada tell how hard tbe Mow falls there. Senator Ed munds' only recourse ia to charge incon sistency, to befog the subject and to de clare that the President already bas tbe power to retalitate. So be bas in one way. He can en force the Act of 1SS7. it is true. The Act denies Canadian vessels en trance to our ports and is so sweeping that its passage alarmed the grain States of tbe Northwest. That Act would not retaliate. It would injure the United States fully as much as it would Canada. Tbe President's plan is to strike at Canada directly, aud last year's Act does not give him tbe power be asks. The twenty-ninth srticle ot tbe treaty of Wasbington made reciprocal the right to transmit goods in bond. Tbe mistake that Mr. Edmunds baa made all along Is tbe supposition that that arti cle is still in force in spite of the fact that the treaty itself bas expired". The President clearly shows that that article is dead. Then why can be not deny Canada the right to land goods at Port land, Boston and New York free of du ty? Because on the 28th day of July. 18GG. an Act was passed which reads as follows : All merchandise arriving at the ports of .New lork, Boston. Portland, in Maine, or In any other pert specially designated by the Secretary or tbe Treasury, and destined for places in tbe adjacent British provinces, may be entered at the Custom Jlouse and eonveyed In transit through tbe territory of the united State without tbe payment of do tie, nnder such reffolatlons as tbe Secre tary of the Treasury may prescribe. That is the reason why. and the Act can only be suspended by tbe permission of Congress which Is just exactly what is asked in the aieesage. It was sup posed that there was a like law which gave Canada tbe right to export as well as import In bond, a right which was incorporated In the treaty ef Washing ton. Such legislation nas not been found, however, and if there is none the exportation of goods by Canada across our country must cease. One privilege which the President desires will thus be granted without the consent of Mr Edmunds in fact it will be mandatory. Tbe legislation which the President asks will strike Canada to tbe extent of not far from f 5(1,000.000 a year. About two-thirds rif this sum comes from im ports. PAtZ. Times. Experiment.

Tbe Republicans in Washington bave not yet recovered from tbe confusion aod dismay into which they were thro wby President Cleveland's message While tbe whole nation rejoiced over thia firm but moderate assertion ot Its rights and honor, a few partisan ene mies of the President busied themselves, aa they did with the treaty, in vain ef fort to pick flaws tn it, After taking twenty four hours to regain their equa nimity, senators Edmunds and Sher man undertook to parry tbe blow of tbe President by asserting that be now pos sesses in tbe Reprisals Act of 1857 and nnder tbe Tieaty of Washington all tbe power be seeks. If there should be any doubt on this score these Senators pre tend further that President Cleveland has only to invoke the Act of Congress of 1866 authorizing tbe Secretary of the Treasury to grant, nnder certain regu lations, tbe shipment of goods la bond through tbe United States to Canada as if tbe authority to execute an Act of Congress granting a certain right car ried with it the power to deny that right. If Secretary Falrchild should use this alleged power to defeat a law of Congress, none would be swift er or mors sealous in demanding bis im peachment than tbe Republican foes of tbe Administration, and. as be truly says, he would deserve impeachment. President Cleveland has declined to use the power conferred upon him by tbe Reprisal Act of 187 as long aa other and better ways of attaining the end sought in the dispute with Canada should remain open to bim. One or these was the fisheries treaty, which conferred on tbe fishermen of this country every right they could reasona bly claim, and which was rejected by a partisan Senate on tbe paltriest of pre texts. Tbe other is such an application of the right of making reprisals upon Can ada as would Inflict the least possible injury npon the trade of this country. For this power the President bas ap pealed to Congress. It would be poor reparation to put an embargo upon the whole trade with Canada, and thus do more barm to American commerce then to that of our neighbor. Tbe Canadi ans would send" their Isb to other mark ets, as they are doing now. and tbe New England Fiab Trust would make this article of food dearer to every poor man's tabl in tbe United States. There is no doubt that the Republican politicians hoped to goad tbe President into declaring a warfare of trade re prisals against Canada, and they would then bave been the first to cry ont against so wanton and destructive an assault upon ptacefnl commerce. But President Cleveland proved too wary as well as too patriotic to fall into their trap, and hla Senatorial enemies may now reflect at leisure upon tbe parable of Lim that diggeth a pit. ten.tor Edmunds insists that Article XXIX of tbe Washington Treaty au-f thorizing the Executive to suspend by proclamation tbe operation of all laws and regulations for the transit of goods in bond to and from the United States and Canada is still in force. Tbe Pres ident, on the other hana. maintains that this article bas fallen with the rest of that treaty, and with his accustomed deference to tbe legislative department of the Government he appeals to Con gress for authority to mete out to tbe Canadians tbe same measure of discrim ination which tbey give to this country. It is possible that Senator Edmunds may Induce a caucus of his Republican associates to resolve that this XXIXth article is still in force, and that no legislation ot Congress is needed by the President to execute the purpose Indi cated In his menage. In such case there would be an end of tbe policv of reprisals, unless tbe Canadians should, by future outrages upon American fish ermen, provoke the exercise of tbeie taliation Act of 18S7. Resort to this extreme measure would hardly be ne cessary, since tbe arrangement of the modus Vivendi will remain in operation for two years, and may never De disturb ed. At all event the President has shown that be yields to none of his Senatorial ma'igners in tbe determination to de fend the rights of American citizens against Canadian outrages. He bas snown, too, that while negotiating treaty ne did not yield one inch in bis position toward Canada, and that be Knows a great deal more about the poll cj buu euects or a warfare or commer cial reprisals than do bis enemies in con gi ess. I'UxLa. JUcord. TthatSexlI The Republican party is certainly in a dilemma and no one knows this fact oetier than tbe Republican party itself -uiruiao vuay, wno is engineering Its unpopular campaign, bas himself ly intimated that tbe Republican lead ers are indulging in too much injudici ous taia-ing and be bas otherwise expressed himself in a manner that gives the impression that tbe "grand old party" is engaged in its last contest. After nominating a Presidential ticket tbe rapidly decaying party of tbe monopolists shouted that tbe fight would be between tbe advocates of tbe present tariff system and the champions of tariff reform. Then a Republican Senator made the discovery that tbe Northwestern States are strongly op posed to the present tariff and be com municated this fact to bis brother Sena ton. For the purpose of overcoming this trouble the framing of a tariff bill was suggested and tbe question, to frame, or not to frame, is still pending. Of course, this blunder was a biow to the high protection party, but when the great and only Blaine, ot whom mighty things were expected, made his speech m defense of Trusts. Quay was simply enraged, and be bas privately denounced the "Uncrowned King" in langcage strong and bitter. Beaten on every aide the grand old party took up the cry that President Cleveland was in sympathy with Fogs land and the President's message on tbe fisheries question knocks the silly false hood "a high as Gilderoy's kite." And now as tbe people would like to know what will be the next move of the grand old party of monopolists. China men and Hungarians. Jlarrisbttra I'tt- L triof.

Democrats baye no fears as to tbe effect of such forgeries ; but this work shows that Republicans are willing now, as they always bave been, to use any means, no matter bow disreputable to bring success.

Oa the death of their two heirs tbe Duke took possession and refused to acknowledge tbe doctor's claim, and to give np tbe estate. Freder ick II. Condert. ot New York, Is Doctor Mulcaby 's counsel. Tbe losses by tbe late storm In South western Pennsylvania appear to bave been enormous. Tbe losses at Pittsburg are placed at 11,000,000, and tbe losses in the surrounding counties will aggregate as much more. Fortunately the loss of life by the unprecedented rush of waters was com paratively small. It will require a week or two for tbe railways to get In complete run ning order again, but as tbe waters are sub siding the damage will be repaired at a very rapid rate. Passenger travel la mov ing nearly as freely as usual already. Madame Virginia Sherwood, at one time the most daring bare back equestrienne In the country, died at Pittsburgh on Sunday of consumption. Mrs. Sherwood, after tbe death of ber husband several years ago, having amassed a considerable fortune re tired from the show business and bas since lived In tbe old homestead In Pittsburgh. She was tbe mother of Chaa. Sherwood, and Mrs. Robert Htckney, both famous riders, and the sister ot Madame Brldgetta, wbo waa trampled to death during a circus per formance in New Orleans, many years ago. Several weeks ago tbe store and dwel ling belonging to J. C. Rummell, clothing merchant at Shlppensburg, Pa., was blown to atoms, along with several adjoining build ings, by a dynamite cartridge which bad been placed in the cellar of the building at midnight by an unknown person. Since then detectives bave been working up the ease, and on Monday tbe guilty person George Carroll, alias "Jumbo," a worthless colored man and a native of Shlppensburg waa arrested near Chambersburg by Officer Rlppey. and la now In tbe Cumber, land county jail. At Wlnthrop, Mass.. recently, workmen digging to lay foundation stones struck two Indian akeletons thought to be about 200 years old. The position of tbe most com plete skeleton was peculiar. Tbe head was bowed upon tbe breast, tbe knees drawn up to tbe chin, elbows on tbe knees, with bands flat upon that part of the cranium where the cheeks once were. No bones of the ankle. foot or hip were found. Tbe skeleton lay facing the west on Its left side. Immedi ately under the skeleton were the remains of a fire, and clam and mussel sheila were scattered about, particularly near the bead. A farmer at the town of Rutland. N. Y.. baa a dog that carries tbe mall for bim regularly. The farmer's bouse stands near ly a quarter of a mile from tbe main road. along which the mail stage rolls every after noon. Tbe driver brings tbe daily papers from tbe post-office and throws them off at tbe cross roads, where he always finds tbe dog waiting for them. Tbe dog bas not missed a mall for three months, and during that time he baa not been reminded of bis duty more tban half a dozen times, tie seems to know the right time and does not waste bis time loitering at tbe corners. On Saturday as some track repairers were at work under the Broadway railroad bridge, at Olneyvllle, R. I., their attention was attracted by a scratching and thumping noise in a freight car, one of a long train side-tracked near by. Tbe door of tbe car was opened and a man about 30 years of age, wasted away almost to a skeleton, tumbled out lie said that be bad boarded tbe train In Chicago seven day sago to ride to the seaboard. Tbe car, a Chicago and At lantic one, was drawn In at Olneyvllle four days ago. When asked If be wanted food be feebly answered : "No, I've been hun gry too long." Tbe man bad shouted so long that be was almost too hoarse to utter a cry. Tbe car contained a miscellaneous freight, and be expected that It would be promptly opened when It arrived at its des tination. The process of sheep shearing by ma chinery Is now performed In Australia by an ingenious kind of device, the results, as represented, being very satisfactory. Tbe apparatus in question is a very simple one, being made cn the same principle as tbe cut ter of a mower or reaper, and the knives are worked by means of rods within the ban dies, these la their return being moved by a core within a long flexible tube, which is kept in a rotary abaft, and wheels driven by a stationary engine. The comb is In tbe form of a segment of a circle, about three Inches In diameter, with 11 conical shaped teeth. Each machine Is worked by a shear er, and, as tbe comb Is forced along '.be skin of tbe animal, toe fleece Is cut. The mas chine can be run either with a steam or gas engine, or by ordinary borse power, and does not easily get out of order. An accident that resulted very seriously to four young women of Philadelphia, em ployes of Strawbridge & Clothier, occurred at Montclare, Montgomery county, on ;Sats orday last. Tbey bave been spending their vacations at CollegevlUe, and drove over to tbe post office at Pbosulxvllle In the morning to gel tbelr mall. Aa tbey were driving across tbe canal bridge at Montclare their wagon collided wile another coming from tbe opposite direction, and all tbe girls were thrown Into the canal, twenty feet below. A party ot young men went to tbe rescue, and but for their timely assistance the girls might bave been drowned. One bad an ugly gash In her fee, caused by atriktng against a jagged rock, and another bad ber arm sprained. Tne other two escaped with a docking. Tbey refused to give their names to their rescuers, and were driven to their boarding-house at Celleteville, M. Ballingsley, a wealthy business man of Bronaugb, Mo., and bis wife were stop ping at tbe New Albany Hotel. Kansas City, Mo for several days. They left Fri day morning for borne. Friday afternoon tbe proprietors of the hotel received a tele gram stating that Ballingsley bad lost $1. 000 in the hotel. Tbe clerk made a careful search aod the money was finally found be tween tbe slab of tbe bed and the mattress It was done up In a Etrange fasbon. Around along leather purse that contained the money a piece ot coffee sack had been sew ed tightly. Around this was wrapped a towel, which was also tightly tewed, and the wbole waa bound up In another towel. loosely stitebed together. Mr. Ballingsley arrived this morning and got his money, He explained that bis wife bad done it up In that manner so that she could wear It as a bustle.
