Allan G. Thurman, the next Vice
President of these United States, was
the guest of President Cleveland at
Washington, on Sunday last.
The sn gar trust last week threw
1,000 men out of employment in Boston
and Brooklyn by closing refineries.
Yet the trusts, according to Mr.
Blaine, although maintained very large

'private affairs.
TriE Republican National Committee
has offered several liberal rewards for
the arreet atd conviction of any persons
guilty of violating the election laws in
the city of New York. (Quay's Penn
sylvania friends will hardly recognize
their leader under his mantle of purity.
By an oversight in the present electo
ral law the elec;ors of the several States
are required to send their lists of votes
for President and Vice President before
the time fixed for the meetings of the
electoral college in the States. The
law will probably be amended before
the November election.
By a recent decision of the courts a
qualified citizen cannot be disfranchised
because of making a bet on the election.
The court held that the rights of a citi
zen who has complied with all the re
quirements of the law cannot be de
prived of bis vote on the complaint of
any one who might choose to challenge
him.
Senator Plumb, of Kansas, has
written a letter to a brother Republican
of that State,which somehow has got in
to print, stating that the Republican Na
tional Committee is greatly worried by
reports from all sections of the West
regarding the growth of tariff reform
principles and that there were grave
reasons to fear that the entire North
west would thereby be rendered ex
tremely doubtful si far at the Repub
licans were concerned.
A temperance advocate named
Foote of Hartford, Connecticut, got
away with a gallon of whiskev Inside of
two days this week. In moving a stone
he felt a crick in his finger. Soon after
the finger began to swell, and on going
back he found a copperhead snake un
der the stone. He drank several cop
fuls of whiskey, which had no effect on
his brain. His hand is all right and
now he is not certain whetker be Is In
favor of total Piohlbition or not.
Wnarx in Congrees in 1880 Levi P.
Morton voted to put salt on the free
list, on the grounds that the salt In
dustry needs no protection, and that the
foreign salt is best adapted to the mak
ing of butter. As lat as November,
1880, he boaated of that vote for free
salt. What does he think of the Senate
bill, which does not even propoee a re
duction of the high duty on this abso
lute necessary of life ? Whatever he
may think, the Republican candidate
for the Vice Presidency will swallow
the Senate bill as meekly as be swallow
ed the Chicago free whisky platform.
The Empire, the chief government
organ in Canada, asks : "Has It ever
happened In the history of the world
that one country took such liberty with
the possessions of another as tne Uni
ted States are taking with Canada,
without having first resolved upon
going to war with the insulted na
tion ?" and after a long argument In
the negative. It says : 'We are
5,000,000 of British subjects, and al
though In the past we have submitted
patiently to the United States Inter
ference by methods more offensive than
language can well express, the time Las
at length arrived when, on both sides
of the International boundary, all fair
minded men must agree that thedlguity
and honor of both countries call for the
abandonment of an attitude which con
veys a alanding insult aud ;ei.aCtj to
the Cicadua Joni:sio;;."
Hugh McCvLLOcn, an old-line Re
publican. Secretary of the Treasury of
the United States uuder Presidents
Lincoln, Johnson and Arthur, and a
conscientions and upright man says the
Philadelphia Jlerall, is going to vote
for Grorer Cleveland and Allen G.
Tburman because those men staud for a
lioeral and progressive reform of the
tariff.
Mr. McCollocb belongs to that large
class of our citizens who, earnestly sym
pathizing with the Republican party
when It meant something, have always
been In harmony with the Democratic
idea of low ttia'ion and economical
public expenditures. With the disap
pearance of the issues and the accom
plishment of the aims which called the
Republican party into existence, they
have maintained a nominal connection
with it for the stke of what it has been
for past associations sake and In the
hope that that orcanization would at
tempt something in answer to the over
whelming popular demand for relief
from the burden of needless taxation.
The present campaign having clearly
demonstrated the utter vanity of such
hopes. It Is but natural that earnest.
conscientious men of the stamp of Hugh
McCnlloch should either vote for Mr.
Cleveland this time or give in their
positive, absolute adherence to his par
ty without any qualification whatever.
Every day that passes seems to dem
onstrate more clearly the gathering
force of the reform wave and to show
the wisdom of President Cleveland In
forcing the issue early in the canvass.
and every day, as it brings the great
contest nearer, brings with it increased
hope that the needless burdens shall be
lifted from the shoulders of the toilers.
and that the time is not fardistant that
he who must earn his bread Ic the
sweat of his face shall not have that
necessity rendered more grievous by
the act of his own government.
Tiie proceedings taken by Attorney-
General Tabor of New York, against
the leading corporations in the Sugar
Trust are in conformity with the Dem
ocratic doctrine defined by Judge Tbur
man, that the formation of trusts U
punishable under the eemmon law, and
that in this country the law should be
put in force against them. A corpora
tion holding powers and privileges from
the State Is an artificial persou of limit
ed rights and well-defined obligations.
It is a delegate of the State, and Is, as
far as regards the formation of combina
tions, liable to the application of the
legal maxim. Delegatus Delegare non
potest. It cannot transfer, with propri
ety, the responsibilities the State has
vested in it ; still lees can It transfer its
powers, while decreasing its account
ability by the attempt to vest them in
another.
The case, conducted upon these lines
on behalf of the State of New York by
direction of its Governor, will be watch
ed by every one with the utmost interest
s a manly effort to protect the people
agaiust impositions and exactions which
make living dear and tend to distress
labor. With the principal article of
food now forced to aa unnatural price
by a gigantic combinations, the problem
of how to prevent systematic and un
conscionable extortion Is a very press
ing one.
The Issue is one that cannot be di
vorced from party politics, inasmuch aa
these capitalistic aggregations are off
shoots of the Republican plutocratic
system to which Democracy is irrecon
cilably opposed.
The Democrats of the Senate, says
the Philadelphia Record endeavored to
fix a time for closing the taiiff debate
in order that a vote might be reached
during the present session. But this
did not suit the Republican majority,
and the proposition was eyaded. The
conclusion from the course of the Re
publican Senators is that they have not
come to an understanding among them
selves, or that in spite of their profes
sions in behalf of revenue reduction
they have determined to prevent any
vote on the question. Of course, no
measure of substantial Tariff Reform
can be expected of the Senate at this or
any future session so long as that body
shall remain under control of the bene
ficiaries and attorneys of Monopoly.
As at present constituted the Senate Is
incapable of legislating in the interest
of the people, and the sooner this truth
shall come to be understood the better
for the country.
Last week, in New York, a Peop le's
meeting nominated Abram S. Hewitt,
the present mayor for re-election and
County Democracy have endorced him.
The Tammany Hall Democrats have
nominated Sheriff Hugh J. Grant for
the same position, although the Tam
manyites are not united. Whether the
Republicans will nominate a candidate
of their own or endorse Hewitt ia not
yet known. The fight in the city will
have a tendency to bring out an in
creased vote which will be favorable to
to the Democrats, but there Is daoger
that in the fact loo al fight a large
amount of trading will de done, and
with some of the Democrats the city
offices are deemed of more importance
than the office of Preeident. The New
York Democrats, of all factions, how
eye r, claim that the National ticket
will not be affected and that the in
creased vote brought out by the fac
tional fight wl'l make the National
Democratic ticket that much stronger.
Tub S'.ate of Indiana is red hot with
politics this week and the Hooziers are
treated to the best speeches that the
political market can afford. Governor
Hill, of New York, ia telling the people
of Indiaua why tbey should vote for the
Democratic ticket and good govern
ment, while James G. Blaine is asking
them to vote for Harrison and telling
them why "trusts are largely private
affairs," and the lessor lights of both
parties are making the cross-roads re
sound with their eloquence. Hill and
Blaine are fit representatives of
their parties, both went into politics
poor Hill is now as poor as when he
began, although be has occupied high
places, and Blaine who built up a large
fortune on his salary aa a Congressman
is a fit representative of the trusts acd
combines that are the favorite children
of lLo Rryublicau party.
Prospects la Indiana.
Outside of a very few enthnslastie
Republican editors whose scent of vic
tory Is tbt keenest when defeat stares
them In the face, every one concedes
that the contest in Indiana will be very
close.
The Republican hope of carrying In
diana is based on the expectation that
Candidate Hirrlson having bis residence
there may induce many, from &tte
pride, to support the Republican coin
lnee. The tariff, scare is not a phase of
the campaign that can be extensively
worked in Indiana, so tnat the Demo
cratic position upon the tax question is
not likely to add any new votes to the
Republican party. The heaviest man
ufacturing district of the State is along
the Kentucky border, a section that is
intensely Democratic New Albany
and Jeffersonville. both of which are
directly opposite Louisville, Kentucky
are large manufacturing towns but their
Democracy is nnflincbicg. New Al
bany teems with glass and iron furna
ces, while at Jeffersonvllle are situated
the largest snip yards along the Ohio
River. In both the iron and glass in
dostriea of New Albany strikes have
been too momerous to make those em
ployed in them believe that a high tariff
keeps op wages that are constantly
falling.
Statistics show that in recent years
Southern Indiana has grown at a much
more rapid rate than have the towns in
the northern part of the State. This is
particularly true of the section south
or the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, a
region that gives a very large Democrat
ic vote. Along the Ohio River Border
are many towns inhabited almost entire
ly by Germans and their descendants.
and even the most careless observer of
politics will admit that the big prepond
erance of the German vote this year
will be cast for the Democratic nom
inee. Notwithstanding the fact that
the nomination of Harrison was intend
ed to take Indiana from the doubtful
column by arousing great enthusiasm
for the Republican candidate, even the
Republican leaders now admit that the
selection of an Indiana standard bearer
has failed in Its mission. Harrison's
friends guaranteed that if be was noraw
Inated tbey would take care of the State
and leave the National Committee free
to conduct the campaign elsewhere.
But the first State Committee to call
for assistance from the National Com
mittee was that of Indiana.
It is hardly to be expected that organ
ized labor, which is very strong in In
diana, will enthuse over a candidate
who all his life has been a corporation
and a railroad lawyer. And when that
candidate is warmly supported by a
newspaper that for years has been fight
ing organized labor, it is but natural to
find a bitter antipathy amoog the work
ingtnen againt the Republican nom
inee. General Harrison has done
nothing to win the admiration of the
laboring men and in bis own State he
has done considerable to offend them.
This year the Indiana Democrats are
making a much more actiye and enthu
siastic campaign than tbey did four
years ago, when Cleveland carried the
State. Opposed to a candidate who is
almost ao experiment in national poli
tics, the Democrats have one who not
only has the prestige of a successful.
honest and economical administration.
but one who has firmly stood op against
favored class legislation and boldly de
fied monopoly.
When Harrison's warmest friends
admit that Indiana is a donblful State
it is an acknowledgement that tbey see
that the drift of political sentiment is
against them. Indiana was Democrat
ic four years ago and recent conditions
have strengthened the Democrats and
weakened the Republican. Philadel

Pennsylvania Politics.
The campaign as conducted by Senat
tor Quay and his associates has been
marked by the introduction of what
might be called Pennsylvania methods.
Addition, division and silence" have
been the watchwords. Secrecy has been
enjoined upon all the clerks at Republi
can Head quarters about the most trivial
things. The canvass was to be a still
hunt, with a lavish and corrupt ose of
money on election day. Every nerve
was strained to drag contributions out
of the manufacturers, and the money
obtained in this war has not been spent,.
doc noaroea. ii was not worth while
to waste It in documents when it could
be ssved nntil November and spent in
buying votes.
The Pennsylvania Senator baa felt
obliged to abandon his economical theo
ries this week, much to bis disgust..
There ha? been a great deal of belting
on the election, and the odds all over
the country have been in favor of Cleve
land. One of the first principles of
Pennsylvania politics is to make a bluff,
and this condition of affairs did not
please the Senator. Accordingly one of
his clerks. Colonel Swords, was sent out
into the highways and byways with a
roll of bills in his hand to bet on Harri
son. His wagers were all snapped op,
and be returned to the Republican
Headquarters without having accom
plished anything in the way of chang
ing the odds. It is the Senator's belief
that tbe fact that the betting is in favor
or Cleveland all over tbe country wilt
have a disastrous effect on doubtful
voters, but be is now afraid that ba-
eacaot change this without risking t no-
much money, that may be osed wh.
more effect on election day ; and wheth
er be will let Colonel Swards loose agic
remains to be seen.
ben a tor Quay will Cad too late that
the donbUul methods- that have beer
successful in a corrupt State wil not
avail in a national caanpaigo. Taia is
a contest that is to ba won by prlosiple.
not by money. The- honest votes who
favors tariff reform because he believe
that his business will be beneOed. ia
not likely to change bis opinion simply
because the betting happens to be
against bis candidate. This belting
move of Senates Quay is too rtfteavWos
to be considered seriously, but the plans
of wholesale Intimidation ao bribery
that he has laid) out are a meaaee to the
purity of elections and the prwpertiy of
tbe country. If the people of PennsyU
ama win loierais mis aorta knavery

Is It Merely a Private affair!
During tbe last ten days tbe sugar
trust haa shut down two sugar refineries
In New England by order from tbe di
rection of tbe combine. It was done to
limit production and enable tbe monopo
ly trust to maintain or Increase ua ad

The owneis of the shut-down sugar

combined profits of tbe monopoly com
bine and make vastly more money than
thev did when running, their works In
legitimate competition for consumers.

Another Blaine Blunder.
If tbe volominons and volcanic Blaine
be not called off by the managers of tbe
RepuMican campaign, poor Mr. Hani-
son wHl soon not have a friend left.
His Iat maladroit performance is bis
denunciation of the Cleveland adminis
trates for depositing surplus money in
natiooal banks. Instead of letting it lie
idle ia-the Treasury. This is denounced
as a scheme for tbe emolument of Dem
ocratic bankers at tbe public expense.
As tbe banks which secure deposits
of public money have to put op Govern
ment bonds tbe market value of which
is in excess of the amount of such de
posits as a seenrlty therefor, the differ
ence between tbe available use of tbo
money and the bonds is inconsiderable.
There is no great profit for tbe banks.
Tbe orject or the Government in put
ting th BBOoty where it might be used
was to prevent the mischief resulting
from the withdrawal from circulation
of mosey needed in current business
operations. When there was a tighten
ing or tbe money market last year Re
publican newspapers were argent in in-
slating taal tne Treasury should use its
privilege of making deposits in national
banlts h order to relieve the stringency..
ir tne mosey deposited in banks bad

premise would have been unreasonably
