The latest news from the town eleo
tois in Connecticut indicate the usual
Democratic majority at the November
election. The voters in the 'and or
steady habits have their eyes open to
tbe best interests of the country.
The approach of cold weather it is re
ported is causing a decrease in tbe
yellow fever patients at Jacksonville,
Florida. The severe frosts that have
done considerable damage to some por
tions of the country have been a blessing
to the fever stricken districts.
The State Supreme Court, now in
session at P t sbuig, on last Monday,
rendered a decision in the case of the
Commonwealth against John E. Dubois,
for Collateral Inheritance tax. The
Court below is sustained, and the sum
now due will reach nearly 5100,000.
Political meetiegs at all pointa in
the State of Indiana both Democratic an
Republican, are beiog more largely at
tended than in any previous campaign
in the history of the State. No speaker
in tbe Stat, unless it is Tanner, is ad
dressing more people and larger crowds
than Colonel Matron, the Democratic
candidate for governor.
London is uow stirred from the cen
tre to the circumference with a start
ling sensation. Six abandoned women
have been brutally murdered and their
bodies cut up and mutilated during the
past two weeks, in the neighborhood of
Wcitechapel, in that city, and the de
tective force of the city are unable to
Cad a clue to the perpetrator. The peo
ple In that vicinity are living in a state
of terror and dread, aud other districts
are fearful that the perpetrator may
change his place of operations Into other
localities. The murders are all evident
ly the work of one man and the police
are at a loss to find a clue or a motive
for the crimes.
TnE Republican papers are laying the
sweet ubctlon to their readers souls that
Cleveland atid Hill are fighting each
ther in New York. They may pretend
to believe It in order to Induce their
readers to think that tha g. o. p. has
some show In the Empire State but
when Governor Hill takes tbe stump iu
Indiana for Cleveland and Thurman it
will require considerable explanation to
Induce a well-balanced mind to believe
that while Hill is dealing his sledge
hammer blows to the enemies of Cleve
land lu Indiana, he is engaged knifing
him in his own State. The idea is a
brilliant conception and well worthy of
tbe party that believes In the theory
tbac the higher you tax a man the rich
er ha becomes.
TnE pensioners of the United States
oa account of the war for tbe Union
number 413,783. The amount paid out
io pensions since 151 is about f 1,000,
000.000, and the cost of disbursing the
fund exceeds S3 000.000 per year. Dur
ing the twenty four years comprised in
the terms of Lincoln, Grant. JohnsoD,
Hayes, Garfield and Arthur the special
pension acts approved by Presidents
number 2,001, white during the first
three years of the present Administra
tion no less than 1 3r.". such bills were
eignedty Cleveland. The additions to
the pension roll during the last fiscal
year weie CO, 2.72 names. Not only has
the liberality of Democratic administra
tion in authorizing the paying of the
pensions been crreater than that of its
Republican predecessors, but the coat to
beneficiaries of obtaining the stipends
baa ben gieatly reduced by tha econom
ical and direct methods of General
Black, who is the implacable, foe of the
ring of pension sharks. The records
demonstrate that Union veterans have
reason to acknowledge the uniform fair
ness of the prt-aent AdocloUtration and
its firmness in enforcing their rightsaod
rrorcciin them agaiust imposition.
The Lumtfrmin, the principal organ
of the lumber and timber trade in this
couotry. and strictly non-part .san, in a
letter from the Pacific coast tells tbe
story of one of the tariff trusts tbe
sawnr.il trust," a combination formed
by tbe lumber lords of the Pacific to
gobble up all the fine timber land,
squeeze the consumerand import cheap
labor to supplant American working
men. These condition exist in Wash
ington Territory, Oregon and California.
In th Pugets Sjuod region, under
the protection of the existing trun and
monopoly tariff, a few large capitalists
have foimed a combination, which Is
gobbling up all tbe choice timber lands
in Washington Territory. This "saw
mill trust," as it is called, ships lumber
to Australia, South America, China and
Japan, and set's it to the iop!e of those
countries at ?150 per 1,000 feat lees
than it charges the people of the United
States. It has to sell its exported pro
ducts at bottom figures, because they
are broght into direct competition with
the lumber from British Columbia.
But the saw mill trust Is "protected"
in its home market against the latter,
not only bv the cost of transportation
to San Francisco and Eastern markets,
which is a big item $1.40 to $1.55 per
1,000 feet but by the duty of ?2 per
1,000 feet which the Mills bill proposes
to repeal in the interest of the whole
people. This monstrous wrong of sell
ing protected products cheaper abroad
than to our own people, is not confined
to lumber. Tbe salt, tbe copper, and
some of the iron and steel monopolists
do the same. Think of it ! Tbe Amer
ican people are taxed by high prices
that the same products may be sold
cheaper to foreigners, and lo cap the
climax this tax helps to produce the
surplus that is a threat to business and
a corrupting agency in legislation.
The saw-mill trust of Washington
Territory pays pauper prices for labor.
It charges war prices for its product,
which enters into the consumption of
every human being on tbe Pacific slope,
and is the raw material of nearly all
the important industries in that
country. The new settler who has a
home or a Darn or a fence to build is
heavily taxed for tbe benefit of this
greedy ring of protected "working
men." What is said bere o! the lumber trust
on the Pacific coast is equally true of a
combination of a similar character in
Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota.
On next Monday, something new and
novel in the way of a campaign tour
will start from Buffalo, New York.
A huge caual boat, with comfortable
accommodations for passengers will
leave that city accompanied by a band
and glee club and a number of promi
nent speakers. Along the routs of tbe
Erie Canal the people will be told night
and day ot tbe benefits to be derived
from tariff reform and tbe disaster that
will ultimately follow from a coutmua
tlou of the so-called protective tariff.
Eight horses will pull the vessel, mak
frequent stops between Buffalo and
Albany while the speakers express
Democratic principles. Challenges are
to be issued at tha various landings for
joint debate on the issues of the cam
paign. Arrangements for receptions on an
extraordinary scale at the towns and
hamlets visited are already under way
and a monster demonstration will greet
the expedition on its arrival at Albany.
From that point to New York where it
will arrive on tbe lth a aeries of meet
ings will be held along the route and a
grand mass meeting and parade of
Democratic clubs will follow. Many
speakers of prouilueuce pill deliver ad
dresses. Blaine's speeches do more harm
than good to the g. o. p., aud Chairman
Quay and his committee are using their
best endeavors to keep him quiet.
Blaine was billed for five speeches in
Indiana but the committee have cut
him down to two and detailed other
speakers to fill bis remaining three ap
pointments in that Slate. It is said,
however, that Blaine will nil his ap
pointments, make a stumping tour at
all bazzards and that tbe Indiana hooz
iers must listen to five of Mr. Blaine's
speeches if they should sink the g. o. p.
Quay and the National committee think
that too oiuch Blaiueism has already been
Injected into the campaign and are anx
ious to hare the man from Maine take a
back seat while the jlDgo statesman is
determined that the Republican party
cannot exist without his being the lead
er. We have heard of two cata being
tied together by the tails, hung across a
clothes line and left to fight to a finish
and suggest to the g. o. p. that it would
be the Lest thing they could do with
Blaine and Quay how the fur would
fiy Blaine would make tbe most noise
but Quay would do s me lively scratch
ing. The Indianapolis Ectung Xetcs the
leading Republican paper of that city,
and a staunch supporter of General
Harrison gave vent to its feelings in a
very embhatic way when the news that
Blaine's engagement to speak iu that
State had to be cut short. It sijs :
The announcement that all Mr. 3laina'a
appointments la Indiana except two have
Oeen canceled, wilt be more surprising than
disappointing- to many Indiana Republicans.
The shortening of Mr. Blaine's In
diana trip ha caused no regret, nor has It
given na to any grave apprehensions tnat
by tbe cancellation of any of his appoint
men's there la le probability of a Republi
can victory In th State, It Is well known
to those acinalnted with the pr vailing ferl
ln that Mr. Ulaine's presence In Indiana
baa at no time been eagerly desired : but
the plain truth la. it baa been really dreaded
by th party manager, who have various
reasons for tx-inir fearful of tDe political
effect of ms yiilt.
From 2 ,000 to 30,000 women have
registered in Boston and will vote for
s:hool controllers at tbe coming elec
tion. The exclusion of Professor Swin
ton'a general history from the public
schools and the discission following led
to this action on the part of the women.

A Dip Into the Probabilities.
Five weeks remain of the Presidential
canvass, aud it will be five weeks ot the
most untiring political effort that has
ever been put forth in the States of New
York. New Jersey, Indiana and Connecticut-
These are the pivotal States
that determined tbe election of 1SS4
and acceptei as the battle ground this
xear. But there are other Slates that
take their place in tbe doubtful column
that four years ago voted for Blaine ;
and the fight is about as lively in New
Hampshire, Michigan, Minnesota, Wis
consin, Illinois, Nevada and California
as in the four States first named. We
think the probabilities are strong tbe
Democrats will carry three of these
States. California elected a Democrat
ic State ticket and legislature In 1SS6,
the majority on governor being C54,
witb 18.0UU votea scattered on Labor
and Prohibition candidates. Biaioe's
plurality was 13.000. Ia Nevada Blatne
bad 1,C15, and In 1SSG tbe Republican
candidate for governor 594. Michigan
gave Blaine but 3.308 plurality, and
in 1SS6 the Republican candidate
for governor bad 7,420. Tbe State
polls about 450.000 votes, and is gener
ally consul eied doubtful. There are
Republican dissensions, and tbe farmers
are aroused on the tax and tariff ques
tions. While Minnesota gave Blaine
41,620 in 18S4,the Republican candidate
for governor in 1836 had but 2,433.
At tbe same election tbe Democrats
elected three of the fiva members of
Congress. Tbe Republicans of this
State have virtually declared for tariff
reform, precisely on tbe lines laid down
by President Cleveland and tbe St.
Lonis platform. If there is the land
slide among tbe Scandinavian voters re
ported Minnesota will cast its electoral
vote for Grover Cleveland. Illinois and
Wisconsin are likeiv to vote Republican
as they did in 1SS4, but witb reduced
majorities. The chances favor tbe
election of General Palmer as governor
of Illinois. There is promise of Demo
cratic gains of congressmen in all tbe
Western States. On this interesting
question of probabilities and possibili
ties the Chicago Times figures as
follows :
Tbe whole number of the electorate Is 401,
making 201 necessary to a choice. Of these
tha States freely conceded to Cleveland
f arniso 153. In order to be again success

Tbe Maine election favors tbe view
that Cleveland will carry all the States
named. It discourages the prediction
that tbe presentation of tbe tariff ques
tion would precipitate a political revo
lution. The Republican gain in Maine
was 2 per cent, on the vote of 3SS4. the
one occasion in the previous four years
wben a full vote was cast. The Demo
cratic gain was 5 per cent. Apply the
same ratio to tbe other States and
Cleveland will carry by increased ma
jorilies all that voted for him in 1884
and add Michigan to tbe number.
Unquestionably a marked feature of
this campaign is tbe changes that are
going on. Tbe 'floppers" are numer
ous, and each party claims tbe drift is
iu its favor ; bus the count of tbe bal
lots is the only thing that will deter
mine witb exactness. We believe it is
largely in favor of the Democrats ; that
while they have only to hold their old
to elect Cleveland, they are doing a
great deal better. In Maine, Mr.
Blaine and the R-publican press of the
State declared several tbonsaud Demo
crats voted with them at the late elec
tion. Admitting this to be true, the of
ficial returns demonstrate a greater
number of Republicans "flopped" to
the Democratic side. The bett:ng
everywhere seems to be in favor of
Democratic success, and while this is
not ao infallible barometer, it shows
the drift of opinion among a very acute
class of people. PiUslurg Post.
Political Methods.
Our dispatches given from many of
the counties show that the Democrats
(Thursday) pat into practical operation
their method of contesting the present
political battle. There were not less
than 1,200 Demvrat!c meetings held io
Pennsylvania on Thursday and probably
more.
Tbes meetings wereentirely Inexpen
sive. They bad. as a rule, no deafen
ing bands, no flaunting banners, no
pompous prades, but they were held
in tbe townships, at tbe cross-roads, in
the villages, in the valleys and other
places convenient for district conference
on the political situation. At many of
them there were do orators, out the
President's tariff message or the Mills
bill was read, and serious consultation
whs had as to tbe dutv of citizens in tbe
selection or the next President.
Oa Saturday next tbe Republicans
will exhibit their method of conducting
tbe battle. They will hold grand mass
meetings in every country town of the
State ou that day, with imposing pros
cessions, bands of music, uniformed
clubs aud able speakers to enthuse the
party. It will b very costly ; it will
call out great numbers for a frolic, but
will it impress tbe people as will the
quiet, inexpensive, common sense
method adopted by the Democrats ? ;
This is a campaign or education ; of
sober consideration on tbe part or tens
or thousands of voters in Pennsylvania
and it is a campaign of dollars and'
cents. It is not a campaign of cash for
votes, but it is a campaign that brings
up for study the wages of labor and tbe
cost of necessaries of life ; and it is
therefore, more than ever in the past, a
campaign of dollais and cents. Io such
contest, which method will win the
most votes 1PUila. Tine.

Barney" Frost offeis to put up 5100 -OUU
on Cleveland's re-elect lou. Last
week, it is said, Mr. Frost made ibis

appeared to hanker arter that lOO.WiO
so Mr. Frost asked takers in New York
Pniladelphia and Chicago.
Mr. Edward K. So in born made what

would carry New York State by oyer
13.000 majority. Tbe sum wagered by
Mr. Somborn is said 10 have been put

Historian Blalae.
Mr. Blaine made a historical s beech
in New York on Saturday nlgbt. His
tbeme was tbe tariff. lie began with
the administration of Washington,
and following, down tbe line to Cleve
land, ascribed all the Industrial vicissi
tudes that have conspicuously affected
the prosperity of tbe country, whether
for good or evil, to the rate of Custom
House taxation. The exbaastien that
followed the debt-paylnz years after
tbe war of 1812, tbe speculative land
panic of 1S37, tbe bank panic of 1S37,
were audaciously imputed to tariff re
ductions. Good times, on tbe contrary,
tbe distinguished gentleman insisted,
uniformly followed as a result of high
tariff taxation. From his glib summa
ry of tariff legislation, which he called
'a historical view," he declared it in
eontestably established that tbe country
never prospered when the tariffs were
low and always prospered wben they
were high.
Every man who troubles himself to
think, or observe what is going on about
bim, knows perfectly well that while
the tax rate Is an important matter,
there are other elements affecting the
continuous growth of tbe country which
are much more influential in pushing it
forward or pulling it back. Good or
bad crops, immigration, war financial
mismanagement, speculative disaster,
and tbe complications growing out of
tbe political or warlike contentions or
other nations, bave profoundly influ
enced our industrial and commercial
progress. No person knows this better
than Mr. Blaine. Even his superb in
difference to whatever fact stands in
theorizing did not allow bim to pass
over without ao attempted explanation
tbe remarkable prosperity that followed
the adoption of the revenue tariff of
1S4G. From 1846 to 1SG0 there were
fourteen years of unexampled national
progress. Neither before that time nor
since has the nation advanced witb
equal pace. Mr. Blaine undertakes to
account for this low tariff progress by
ascribing it to: an extraordinary series
of incidents or accidents, such as tbe
war with Mexico, the European revolu
tion of 1848. and the discovery of gold
in California in 1849. There would be
no difficulty in accounting for high
tariff progress in the same way, by look
ing outside of the tax rate for the mas
terful conditions nf business movement.
But, taxing Mr. Blaine at his word, as
the picayune war witb Mexico was a
means of growth in a low tariff era,
what shall be said of the influence of tbe
stupendous war following upon tbe tar
iff of 18;i. from which Mr. Blaine dates
nearly twenty-eight years of extraordin
ary industrial activity ? If the outturn
of the California mines from 1S40 to
1SC0 added to prosperity in those years,
was the prosperity diminished by the in
creased output of go'd and silver in the
high tariff years thnt followed ?
Mr. Blaine is as unfortunate in bis
explanations as he is crafty io his up
pressions of recent history. While
falsely attributing tbe bank panic of
1S37 to the effect of a low tariff be ne
glected to state that tha Republican
majority in Congress voted to further
reduce tbe tariff in that year. He also
forgot to mention tbe panic of 1873.
which, coming midway in his era of
high tariff revival, shook the business
of tbe country like an earthquake from
one end of it to the other.
Mr. Blaine should not attempt his
torical statement until he cau cure him
self of his habit of pettifogging his esse.
His defense or tbe tariff is hardly more
calculated to advance bis position as a
competent leader in the battle for
protection than was bis defense of tbe
tariff begotten Trusts. rhila. llecord.
The Republican Parfy Hauls Down its
Flag.
Tbe announcement ia officially made,
as we print elsewhere, that tbe Republi
can party will not discuss the Tariff bill
at this session of Congress. The des
mand for a measure of some kind from
the Republicans." we are informed, "is
a just one and will be met by the Sen
ate. At tbe same time that legia'ative
body will frankly say to the public io
their report that more time is needed
and more testimony solicited. In this
way the piopoeed measure can be modi
fled and injustice to either labor or cap
ital avoided. The Republican party
cannot afford to act tastily in this nat
ter." 'Let a tent ati ve bill be presented
and then refer the whole matter bck to
the Finance Committee."
Since swindling and falsehood have

the tariff. Almost a year has elapsed
since the President called the attention
of Congress to the surplus as an evil
threatening tbe nation's credit. Tbe
Democrats worked out a remedy in the
Mills bill. The couotry expected tbe
Republicans to follow their example and
Congress decide between tbe plana.
Wben tbe rumor came that ao serious
discussion ot tbe tariff was intended by
the Republicans, that Mr. Blaiue and
Mr. Quay had so advised, this was de
nied with Indignation. But rumor was
well informed.
If tbe Republicans were in earnest
their tariff bill should bave been ready
as soon as the Mills bill. They bad as
much time as the Democrats, and knew
their own mind quite as well. But they
wished no bill, and so. after falsehood,
delay, promises, misrepresentations,
pretending to examine, take testimony
and inquire, we are officially told there
will be on bin. "The Republican party
cannot afford to act hastily in this mat
ter. Why should the Republican party act
hastily ? The monopolists are in power.
Labor bears the burdens. The Carne
gies amass mammoth incomes, the re
sult of oppressive imposts. The tariff
suits the oppressor. It is a vested in
terest, like the land ; sacred, like the
Crown and the Established Church. If
ten years are to be consumed in dis
cussing" a new tariff measure, it will
mean ten more for the monopolists to
enjoy their plunder.
So on this tariff question the Repub
lican party hauls down its flag. There
is an end of that comedy. And on the
business of retaliation against Canada
Mr. Sherman likewise hauls down tbe
fhg. Retaliation might hurt Portland,
Me., as 'Canada's winter port," and
that would never do. For nnder this
blesaed Republican domination the
whole country may stiver or burn pro
vided no harm comes to the slightest
Yankee interest.
The flag is hauled down. Mr.
Blaine's orders bave been obeyed. The
pretence which Las held Congress to
gether until autumn-namely, that there
would be ao honest vote on tbe tariff
was a fraud. The Republicans never
meant to act.
But tbe people bave something to say.
ana tbe more clearly they understand
the nature of this bare'aced fraud the
more emphatic will be the response In
