They ought to stop counting up in Maine ; 20,000 majority is enough- When Cleveland hears from Maine he will wish he had stayed in the woods. A solid Republican Congressional delegation from Maine. 'Turn the rascals out.'" It is thought that the chills with which the Democracy were troubled last week, produced the present cold wave. Aktek long waiting, Tammany last week endorsed Cleveland, with a wink oyer its shoulder at the wid ow llutler. TwEXTY-two thousand majority in Vermont, and twenty-one thousand in Maine, is not a bad send off for the campaign Ohio will be the scene of the next pitched battle. As Blaine and Pro tection are the watchwords, there is no fear of the result. Five hundred Mormon converts landed at New York last week. There will soon be a large accession of Democratic voters. The temperance men of Maine mean lusiness. The majority for the prohibitory amendment to the Constitution is over 40,000. The Democrats made a still hunt in Maine, and they are still hunting for the disgruntled Republicans that are going to slaughter Blaine in his own State. The Independents started out to hunt with a brass band. Since Ver mont and Maine have been heard from, a penny whistle makes louder music than they care to hear. Mrs Belva A.

Mort.x once aid, "Demo crats alwaye ride with their backs to the engine, and never see anything until they have passed it." The fact as never better illustrated than the late election in Maine. The Democratic editors jvho eoti' ceded 15,000 Republican majority in Maine, while they gloeiuUy assured their friends in private that it woujd AOt be over five thousand, builded beVjei than they knew. Bo.NKt has eight trotters in lite -stable that Las cost him $327,000. They are Ive Elliott, Edwin Forest, FA ward Everett, Startle, Pocahontas, Dexter, Rarus and Maud S. He is only a poor newspaper man. It having been charged by the Democrats that Mr. Blaine had promised General Neal Dow to vote for the Prohibitory amendment, the General comes to the front and says the statement is a falsehood. From New York comes the repori that it is practically pettled that Mr. Blaine ia to make a trip to Ohio for the purpose of waking up the can vass. Cleveland, Toledo, and Cin cinnati are designated as the points to be visited. When the Republican of Maine estimated that their majority would be from S,000 to 10,000, the Demo crats insisted that unless it was 20,- 000, it would not signify anything. Well, it is more than 20,000. Is that significant eneough ? Three more States will vote before the November election. Georgia for Governor and Legislature, October 1st ; Ohio for minor State officers and Congressmen, October 14th ; and on the same day West Virginia will elect State officers, Congressmen and Legislature. Two years ago, Secretary Folger was defeated for Governor of New York by nearly 200,000 majority. Last week forty thousand people with evidences of profound sorrow followed his body to the grave. Alas 1 for the folly, and fickleness, anj gpeen 0f the populace r Before the Maine election, Dem ocratic journals were chuckling over the fact that the Republicans had no "soap ;" that the clerks in the de partments would pay no assess ments, and that Blaine's friends were in desperate straits. Now we are told that the State was carried by bribery, and that the Republicans spent $200,000 in the canvass. The attempts of the Democrats and Independents to persuade them selves that, after all theri wasn t much of a shower in Maine, are most laughable. Among others, Col. McClure, of the Philadelphia Time, with most subluue assurance, turns from his falsified predictions and cheerfully falls back upon the assertion that tne old parties are rapidly disintegrating and that the Western Suites, will, in November, assure the overthrow of the Repub licans. Better put up your urub'ella, Col onel. A few more shower, such as that in Maine, will not only spoil your natty clothes, but may drown out of you thegifi of prophecy. Never was there an engineer more handsomely "hoist with his own petard," than were the Demo crats of Maine with their prohibition enrine. With the intent of using the vote in favor of Prohibition in that State against Mr. Elaine in Ohio and other vVestern States, con taining large numbers of Germans and other anti -prohibitionists, they sought to swell it up to the full measure of the Republican strength, Uv nuietlv castinor their ballots for it But in their eagerness, and in their ignorance of the general senti ment of the people, they piled it on too thick, and consequently prohibi tion has 44,000 majority where the Republicans have but 20,000, thus proving that there were as many Democratic as Republican votes cast for it, and in a most laughable man ner exposing their trickery, uncov ering their hypocrisy and leaving them naked to the scorn of their en emies.

For the first time within the memory of man the noise and brag and bluster has been knocked out of - them, and for once in their lives they realize what ri diculous assea they have made of themselves. When they have re covered lrora their stupor, and by pinching themselyes and tweaking their noses, and in other ways ascer taining, "J f this be I, as I suppose it be," thev will commence blustering and shrieking and making a spectacle of themselves by boasung that Unio will certainly go 'JDemocratic, for here the liquor dealers and the Ger mans will resent to Mr. Blaine the prolubition .vote in his own State, and the people unswayed by elate pride or by hi immediate presence, will sternly rebuke his lack of per sonal intecritv. Cut the fajt cannot be discounted that the people of Maine, wbo know nim beet, nave indirectly passed upon the charges of personal dishonesty and lack of official integrity, that have been brought against Mr. Bldine aad have set their emphatic verdict upon him. Sustained by such an overwhelming victory at home, there can be no doubt that the Republicans of other States, when the proper time comes, will approve the verdict of their fel lows in Maine, and that in Novem ber next, James G. Blaine will be se lected as the next President of the United States. HMalaWaVWM CLEANINGS. . He Knows Him.

Mary's Institute Journal a Catholic paper published at Ams terdam, New York, wants Horatio Seymour put at the had of the Democratic ticket in place ol Cleve land, and gives the following reason for it ; "It is time to read our Na tional conventions the lesson that the placing of a leecher in nomina tion lor the highest office in the gift of the people is an outrage on the Christian sense of the commu nity." There is trouble in "Alt Barks." The Democratic candidate for coun ty treasurer it has been discovered allowed his old mother to live and die in the poor house although he was worth $30,000. The decent Democrats declare that unless he is taken off the ticket they will not only refuse to vote for him but they will vote against him, and the pres ent outlook promises that this num ber will be large enough to defeat him. More than half of the Irish voters of Augusta, Mr. Blaine's home for thirty years, voted the Republican ticket on Monday. At the Repub lican jubilee that night J. J. Mahler a leading Irish-American made a speech, in which he 6aid that they had decided to strip off the rusty shackles of Democracy and vote for principle, and thre rousing cheers were given for the Irish Americans of Augusta. And yet, according to the VW, Mr. Blaine was once a Know-Nothing, and indorsed iha action of a mob in tarring and feath ering a Roman Catholic priest. PiltMiury Commercial Gazette. The editor of the New York World whines through a column because James G. Blaine owns a house and lot in Washington which brings him several thousand dollars per year rent The Indianapolis Journal in reply says: Mr. Joseph Pulitzer entered life a coachman, so reported. He now owns the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and the New York World. Did Mr. Pulitzer rise in the world honestly, and is his present wealth the result of legitimate business ability and methods? We think it is; and we honor him for his capacity and suc cess. It is a pitiful, cowardly, dirty innuendo which would make it ap pear that any man in public life who has gained a competenae has done so dishonestly. Speaker Carlisle's private secreta ry, Henry L. Nelson, certifies to the Boston Herald that Mr. Cleveland, "late sheriff of a back county in New York," ia a good free trader. He says : There is no doubt of Mr. Cleve land's position, and he is as thor oughly in earnest in the cause of revenue reform as is his friend Mr. Dorsheimer. In the contest in Con gress last winter he 6tood with Car lisle and Morrison, and against Ran Dall. It is within my personal knowledge that he wrote letters to New York members of Congress urg ing them to vote with Mr. Morrison, both on the question of consideration and on the motion to strike out the enacting clausa of the Morrison bill. At least one vote, and perhaps more, was gained for the bill by these let ters. It is cheering to know that Mr. Cleveland is with the free traders, not only on the main question, i. e., whether ther ought to pasa a Morri son bill, but also "on the question of consideration," i. e., how much they ought to geL Inter-Ocean. Gratifying Kiffure. Augusta, September 10. The fol lowing dispatch was forwarded from, here to-day: Hon. John A. Logan, Illinois. Returns from .remote sections of the State increase the majority be yond all expectation. In 353 towns the Republican majority over Red man exceeds 18,000, and the pros pect is that in the complete returns the majority may reach 19,000, and possibly be the largest ever given in the history of the Republican party in Maine, with two exceptions at the close of the war. The latest returns show that the Republicans have carried every county in the State, and have elected every member of the State Senate. The magnitude of the Republican vote is a surprise to both parties, and shows that a large number of Democrats joined our ranks. Walker Blaine. Logan Iti Ohio. Toledo, September 11. General John A. Logan was present this af ternoon on the grounds of the State fair Association and made a speech to an audience numbering seven or eight thousand persons. He spoke about half an hour on the commer cial, manufacturing and agricultural interests of Ohio and their wonder ful growth. He was presented by ex-Governor Charles Foster. Gener al Logan was received by the fair committee and committees of local Republican organizations on arriving in this citv this morning.

Senator Cullum, of Illinois, arriv ed in New York yesterday from Maine, where he assisted in the can vass. He was in Augusta on elec tion day, at Mr. Blaine's residence. He 6ays that the Republican major ity was more than double that antic ipated by Mr. Blaine, who had been expecting from t5,000 to 8,000, and would have been satisfied with the minimum estimate. Mr. Blaine he reports to be in most excellent health and spirits, and confident of his elec tion. THE TARIFF QUESTION. Harrisburg, September 11. Among the Dauphin county people at present in Europe is Mr. A. S. Matheson. one of the owners of the "Middletown Tube Works, the largest manufactory of the kind in America. Mr. Matheson writes from Scotland to a friend in Middletown as follows on the tariff question, having visited the iron districts of Great Britain for the purpose of comparing notes : "In traveling through the country here one cannot fail to observe the many idle mills and factories, par ticularly those in the iron districts. Many large and extensive blast fur naces and mills are going to ruin, having stood idle for years. In one part of the Staffordshire district I visited many plants were standing idle and a great many more had been totally destroyed and swept out of existence. These are all ob jects that cause one in the present agitation in our country of protec tion or free trade to consider serious ly whether we CAN STAND FREE TRADE. "England, with her pauper labor and many idle mills to start up, conld swamp us in a short time with free trade, and our only protection at present is our tariff. Or without it, then we must have pauper labor also, and I doubt if our workingmen can stand this, after living like men, compared with the pauper condition of the classes here. I hope the workingmen of our country will not be led away with false notions in the present Presidential campaign to vote the Democratic ticket, for in the success of that party lies the deg radation of our working classes. Great Britain wants the Democratic party to succeed, and is doing all she can to assist that party. That is sufficient proof to us that the Re publican party suould be upheld. AFRAID OF BLAINE. The British fear the election of Blaine because they know he is a representative man, and will hold the position of our Nation with prop er dignity, and look after the protec tive interests of our people. The papers here rarely mention Ameri can news except of a damaging char acter. They take good care to men tion the bad said of Blaine and all the good of Cleve land. My visits among the mills in our own line show them far behind us. You see men doing things about a mill that we uever allow men's hands to touch and when you ask why they do it of the manage ment they say : 'Oh, labor is cheap and a few men extra is no object to us,' an evidence that though their product is so small compared with ours, that without our tariff they could undersell us, because their item of labor is of no importance, being only 20 per cent, of the total cost of manufactured iron materials while in our country it is some CO per cent, for labor alone." A Ilnel With Kni.ca. South Boston, Va., September 11. A deadly encounter took place near Whitmell between John Dixon and Jackson Davis, two rivals. A Baptist revival has been progress ing in the vioinity since Monday night, among the visitors to which was Ellen Afton, aged 19, who re ceived much attention from the young men. Dixon and Davis were the most persistent admirers. She inadvertently made an engagement with both of them for last night, and each repaired to her house at the hour fixed to escort her to church. She settled the matter by accepting Dixon '8 escort for the evening, as she thought he had the prior claim. Davis sulked all evening during the religious exercises. After Dixon had taken his charge home the men met in the road near her house by agree ment. It is understood both, were armed with knives, and had a duel in which Dixon left hia rival lying in the road and fled. Davis' worst wound was a terrible stab in the stomach, which is believed to be mortal. Bnrned to leath. West Newton, September 10. A family by the name of Barnes keeps the toll gate one mile west of here. The parents were away and the chil dren remained at the house and dur ing the course of the day, desiring to make a fire in the stove, they pour ed oil into it The can exploded setting fire to the dress of a little girl 11 years old and burning her in a frightful manner. In four hours the was relieved from her terrible suf ferings by death. The clothes of a little four-year-old brother, who wu standing near, also took fire and he was badly burned, but he will recov er. The house was also set on fire, but it was extinguished before much damage was done. Work of an Incendiary. Washington, Pa., September 3. A tenant house on the premises of J. B. Miller, Canton was totally destroy ed by fire, the work of an incendiary late last night' The family of S. Kisner, who occupied the building, $ed in Ihejr night clothes. They saved but little of their property. Mr.' Miller's loss is $1,000. There is no insurance, A ifortbweKcrii CyctoM. Clear Lake, Wis,, September 10. A cyclone struck this place late yesterday afternoon and devastation was the result Three lives were lost and the greater portion of the town is in ruins. The scenes after the storm passed were horrible in the extreme. Men, women and chil dren were running about in a perfect frenzy of excitement and fear. Here and there people could be seen com ing out of their cellars, almost para lyzed with fear. The strongest roan was as a little child, for no human power could resist the terrible force of the wind. A house was taken from its foundations and turned completely around. A large barn was blown away, leaving the floor ; and mangers with the horses peace fully eating their supper, a ihu child was taken in the arms of th tempest and landed in the branches, of a tree, only slightly injured. A large farmhouse was blown com pletely out of sight and not one par ticle of the house or contents could be found, although search for a mils was made in the track of the storrm. The family had fortunately take refuge in the cellar. Many families are left destitute. At Marine, Minn., fifteen or twen ty houses were wrecked by the cy clone and a number of persons were injured. Nearly all the doctors of this city are out there. The house of David Lvman, four miles above Stillwater, on the road to Marine, was blown down and some of the in mates injured. Onlv a small por tion of the storm struck Stillwater and some of the tents at the fair grounds were torn into ribbons. One-half of the lighter structures in Clayton. Wis , were blown down by the storm last night. The cy clone struck there about 6 p. m., do ing nearly all the damage in fifteen minutes. The storm at Chippewa Falls, Wia., waa the worst of the season. The river is nowsixtpen feet above low water and in still rising rapidly. Competent judges look for a much higher rise. In this case the upper bridge over the dam will probably go, as it is badly strained. Rock Rapids, Iowa, September 10. The heaviest storm of the sea son commenced at 6 o'clock last night and continued until 10.30 p.m. Some hail accompanied it. No spe cial damage has been reported in this vicinity. White Bear Lake, Minn., Sep tember 10. A cyclone struck this place at 5 o'clock yesterday after noon. Its track was less than a mile and a half wide. There was the usual funnel-shaped clouds, slightly green in color. Mr. Drakes fine large house, to the west of the town, suffered seriously. Most of the windows were blown in and other damage was done. The sheds of the Duluth Railroad were demol ished and hundreds of trees wer blown across the track between White Bear Station and Dellwood. Some persons assert that ttere wer two BtoroiB, one from the southwest and the other from the northwest, and that they met at White Bear. Frank. James At a Fair. AIoberly, Mo., September 11. Frank James, the horse thief, train. robber and bandit, known here a joi. james, arnvea in wooeny 1 uesday evening accompanied by his son, and in the afternoon occu pied a conspicuous position in the Judges' stand at the Fair grounds during the races. He did notstarv the horses, as advertised, but offi ciates in that capacity during the re mainder of the week. The distin guished bandit is the guest of Theo. Priest. Early yesterday morning the Colonel drove out to the Fair Grounds, and in the language of the evenings paper, "Every one wanted to get acquainted with him and many succeeded in doing so." In the afternoon he was on hand early, and held quite a Icee in the office of the secretary and weighing stand on the race-track. Last night there was a parade of the local military company, the Fire Department and citizens bearing torches. "Col." James reviewed the parade from a carriage, and after wards took a stroll down the main street, which was brilliantly illumi nated by perhaps a thousand Chi nese lanterns. The attendance at the fair yesterday was not very large but an increased patronage is look ed for lo-day, now that the surroun ding country is informed that Frank James is really here. Arming Agalast Horse Thieves. Nashville, September 10. Word reached here to-day that the citizens of Smith county, on the Upper Cum berland, are organizing under sher ilf Morgan, for the extermination of a band of horse thieves that haye t long in res lea tnat section, lirana, one of the gang, was arrested and placed in jail to-day. He confessed that there is a regularly -organized band, with strongholds at points through Tennessee and Kentucky, so thot stolen property can be rush ed from station to station with safe-: ty. Great quantities of stock have been stolen and the citizens are arm ing to clear the State of the despera does. Trouble is anticipated. Sher iff Morgan was formerly one of the most renowned of the moonshiners, but has reformed, and has since done much valuable work toward riddjngth,e State of lawlessness. The robber band is composed of desper ate outlaws. Depression In iron Trade. Pittsburg, September 11. On ac count of the depression in trade the Edgar Thompson Steel Company to day notified their employes that un less they accepted a reduction of wa ges a suspension of operations would be necessary. Andrew Carnegie is the head of the company which em ploys nearly 5000 men. The proba bilities are that the reduction will be accepted, as the number of idle men in this vicinity is greater now than it has been at any time dur ing the past ten years- Qnly about half the miljs and glass factories are in operation, and there is great dis tress among the poor in consequence! Fearrai Death. Clear Springs, September 12- Thursday Henry Sprayer went out with hia mower and horses to cut clover. While going around the field the horses became frightened at something and ran away. Mr. Sprayer was unable to hold them and when making a short turn he was thrown from the machine in front of the knirei. Unable to get away in time, the keen blades caught him and severed bis legs and head almost completely from his body. 7be unfortnnatp nian was a. tanner and farmer, was quite rih an4 held in high esteem in the community in which he lived. Death and Deatrwtloa. Eao" Claire, Wis., feptember 11 The boom on pine creek, a tnbu tary of Chippewa river, went out late last night ana tne water in me unip newa rose rapidly. This with the floating logs carried away the upper bridtre of the Wisconsin Central Chippewa Falls, and also the lower bridge between mere ana mis city. The Milwaukee & St. Paul bridge and all the city bridges here and the citr bridge at Chippewa Falls are carried away. The Omaha bridge at the latter place has not yet gone, but there is no telling what may happen as the water gets higher, The Omaha railroad bank is being badly washed. The water is flood ed the streets of this city, doing great damage. The Mau Claire and Chip pewa rivers are higher than ever known before. The water is run ning over the principal streets, and many building on the lower grounds are floating away. Half a million feet of logs hsve broken from a boom near Eddy Mills and are floating down the 6tream. GREAT DAMAGE INFLICTED. Both Chippewa and EauClaireriy era began falling at noon, ai'ter reach ing the unprecedented height of 26 feet, 3 feet higher than the great flood of IbisO. Every bridge on the Chippewa has gone out five railroad bridges and five wagon bridges. In this citv the loss property is appalling. No satisfac toi y estimate can be made at this ticae, Between Chippewa Falls and Ea uClaire the loss will not fall short of $1,500,000, and may greatly ex cede that sum. The EauClaire Gas Company lose 350 tons of coal and all the buildings valued at $45,000. Be siness houses on both sides of tbi two rivers are submerged Gr eat apprehension is felt lest when tht waters recede the foundations mi y be so much impaired as erc.mble the walls. In this city ovt -r two hundred houses have been sw ept away. Only one hie was lost as. lar as heard from. While this dia patch is being written three bni Idings on BrHge street.

The latest from the flooded dis- trit its indicate that the waters are re ceding at Chippewa Falls, but rising at Eau Claire, where the water is fou r feet deep in the Western Un ion office. SOME LATER DETAILS The water in Chippewa has fallen about three feet since noon. .Near ly 40 dwellings have been swept away or wrecked, and 2,000 people are depending upon neighbors who livti on high ground for shelter and food. To-night relief committees have been organized and hundreds of people are being fed in the Court Ho use and gospel tent of Y. M. C. A while the most destitute are being tak en care ot in private houses 'Che lumber companies all lose veiy heavily, but the heaviest losses are suffered by the poor people who have had their homes swept away.

The situ ation here continues of a most dis tressing character. The dreadful epidemic increases hourly in its rav ages. A feeling of the deepest gloom pervades the city. The misery and suffering among the poor is simply appalliog. King Humbert was yes terday prevented from visiting the poorer quarters of the city. During the twenty-four hours end ed at 9 this evening there have been 9G5 fresh cases and 328 deaths from cholera. In other parts of the prov ince during the same time there were 19 fresh cases and 14 deaths ; at Avellino, 4 fresh cases, 2 deaths ; Bergamo, 11 fresh cases 9 deaths ; Campobasso, 3 fresh cases, 2 deaths ; Caseria 13 fresh cases, 6 deaths ; Cremona, 2 fresh cases, 3 deaths ; Cuneo, 12 fresh cases, 10 deaths ; Spezea 20 fresh cases, 17 deaths; Carrara 9 fresh cases, 2 deaths Par mea, 8 fresh cases, 6 .deaths ; Reggio 2 fresli cases, 1 death ; Genoa, 36 fresh cases, 21 deaths. At Nouaro. Potenza and Salerno there has been one death each place. One death is reported at Rome of Asiatic cholera. The situation is lightly improved.
