BANER CARLISLE ON THE MAIN TSSUE
The same tpicstion which Mr. Blaine has
M submitting to thc people of Miiinc, with
o clearness and power of illustration, and
which he has gained a verdict that wll
felt in other States, is also treated as the
al quMtJon of the time by Speaker Carlisle
the carefully prepared interview wheh
s just l?een published at Cincinnati. Mr.
rlislo take* what he considers the Dem
ratic sitlc of that ipiestion. lie maintains
it revenue must lie lessoned by a reduction
the tai iff. Within one or two years, lie
seryes, thc entire bonded debt that can
w lie redeemed will fae out of thc way, and
tm a large surplus revenue must either ac
mulate in the Treasury, which would cause
taster to all industry through contraction
tho circulating medium, or it must bo cur?
ded by reduction of taxation. He maintains
at the people "will never stand it" to have
liskey and tobacco free while "a tax re
tins upon the peoples clothing and implc
ants of tittde."
It will ba observed that Bpeaket Carlisle
kes precisely the position yvliich, in a recent
view of tho tendencies of partier, The
anim allowed that {he traditions, thc
vjudice* and the supposed interest of Tlie
MtoenteC party inclined it to take. Mr.
taine, on tho other hand, has powerfully
Ivocatcd the Republican view, as reapeeta
a reduction of thc tariff. De 1ms shown in
astcrly argument in Maine that thc wonder
il development of national prosperity under
o system of protection, during the last
renty-five yean, hm made it utter folly to
?c:ik down that system, and with it the in?
uit rics in walch a great part of the Mpital
id enterprise of the country have lieen in
wted. Thc benefltl of that development to
ie laboring people have been set forth, and
.<? votes cast in Congress dining the litsi
asian prove that the Bcpublicani of every
late, with the possible, exception of ninne?
tta, are well-nigh unanimous in supporting
ic system Which thus prOtOCta anti uplift.
nieiican labor.
Thus the isaue described by Tm: Tbibtjhi
. ih" one certain to overshadow all others
i interest, and 1<> control the division of par?
es, is presented from Opposite sides by the
teogniaed leaden of the two Brent parties.
W Mr. Carlisle is moro truly than President
loveland the leader nf thc Democratic party
i dingies* and in the country. Democratic
inventions have been denouncing the Boall?
ia] eouiM of the Administration, while ap
roving tho ooune of the Democratic major
y in the Howe, and four-fifthl of thc llcm
iia'ic memben took sides on all disputed
uostiona arith kr. Carlisle, and againat Thc
>dministration.
Mr. Carlisle shims lightly over tlie fatal
mit in his. iiliin ol action. He would reduce
in- tariff, and the tariff only, in order to gel
id of the rarplM revenue which, as his fig
net show, is likely to exceed $100,000,000
early, unlcm Democratic extravagance in ap*
'i opristioM WMtra much of thc public money.
tut how can $100,000,000 be taken fruin a
tostOBM revenue of less than $200,000,0001
h. Carlisle is noi a man of great wisdom, but
i intelligent enongh t" know that a reduction
f one-half in tbe linties now collected would
o vasily increase imports ;u?. t<> make the n v
niic larger limn it is bow, instead of smaller.
?mit-, tim indeed be entirely abolished, a?
especti ariieles called raw materials, with -ill
he disMtroM consoouences which that would
nvoive, and yet there would remain a reduc?
ion of vast amount to be effected in du'io
>n manufactured products. Thal reduction
?ould only be effeeted by ohangea which would
"ltii'lei-iv prostrate home industries, Mr.
Carlisle docs not venture to face this di {fr?
uity, nor will any other Democrat dare to
leal with it candidly.

A TROUBLED " \ OICEV
Tho Maine election has, of course, brought
consternation to the organ of thc third patty
?shall wo say movement T It whistles loud
to keep its Morago np, and says that the re?
sult of the election is ''The Greatest Victory
Yrt ''?vihich may 1*0 interpreted La mora ways
than one. In another part of thc paper it
rather "gives itself away,"' however, by de?
claring, "splendid as WM our yote in Maine
last Munday, not half the men voted our ticket
who ten days ago intended to vote it." And
what, gentle reader, do you BllppOM was tho
MUM of this alleged change 1 Neither more
nor less, according to Thc Voice, than the pub*
lication by Tm: Timbtxe of that very in?
teresting interview with Neal Dow. Now wo
arc disposed to believe that 'Jhe Voice is right
in asserting the mflueneo of that interview
upon public opinion in Maine, for it certainly
did constitute a damaging exposure of the un?
reason, insincerity and Inconsistency of tho
third party. It is not often that a man tangles
himself up as hopelessly M Neal Dow did in
that perfectly genuine interview. The truth
was?and all who read it saw it?that thc old
i'l'tihibitionist could not justify his position at
all when brought face to face with the actual
facts.
That Interview made it clear to all who
could put two and two together that malice
against the Republican party had much more
to do with the third-party action in
Maine than love for the temperance
mom, A more indefensible, impolitic
and fatuous course, in tact, never
was liken than that led by General Dow in
thc late campaign, and the result of thc election
proves that the thud party has sustained a
crippling, if not a fatal,blow in the itronghold
..f Prohibition. No wonder Thc Voice otters
nnccrtain ami contradictory toondi under the
circumstances, A much better trained Voice
might be spoilt d by inch a disaster. For thc
Maine elcoUon hxs demonstrated that the
Maine Republicans, being for the most perl
Prohibitionist!!, emphatically repudiate tho
third party charlatanism j that they regret
Neal Dow'i contradictory and mutually suit id
al assertion! about the effeotivencM of Pro?
hibition legislation; that they take no st.uk
in the proposition to iry Prohibition under
Democratic auspices; that, in short, tiny be?
lieve in helping temperance by maintaining
ibo Republican organization. "Tin* greatcsl
victory yet,' was it, Oh, troubled Pbfei I
Well, it Will not take many inch to end the
jin si nt third-party malignity anti folly. The
people Mho wan I a third party more than they
want temperance are being found out.
REAL ESTATE ACTIVITY.
The activity in real estate at New-York
has boca most gratifying to those engaged
in that busincM. Ike records show that prop
crty valued at about $200,000,000 has changed
hands m 'his city alone linoc the year began,
and thal buildingi have been begun which are
expected to cost about $45,000,000. The in
rrease in amount of sales, compared with the
previous year, has 'sen about 25 per cent, and
tue inrro.i-o in cost ot buildings projected
nearly 40 per cent.
Bul it is well to remember thal ihis activity
in ieil estate dralings, and the advance in
prices of land, dwellings, and building! occu?
pied f..r industrial or commercial purposes,
has tts unfavorable side. It threatens a higher
coal "f living and a highoi coal of production
in N'-u-Y'iU m compared with other com?
peting pom's, lt is true that a similar activ?
ity in real estate operation! \v.ia appeared ai
some Other cities. Hut if there has keen a
'?'.irespotiding activity everywhere else, and I
corresponding advance in prices, the effect
npoi. the financial and industrial condition of
the country must prove important. Thc as
seised valuation of property in Mew-York lu
1880 was about 018 millions, out of about
2,800 millions in the whole Btate, If kales
of real Mtate amounting to 200 millions have
been effected in only part of the yew at New
York, at an advance of something like 25
per cent in prices, and if similar changes have
occurred elsewhere- ii is easy to estimate that
the amount of capital withdrawn from othei
employments and poimanentiy fixed in icu1
ratals must have been very large. The addi?
tion to the cst of production and to the CMl
of living will in the end provo a serious Im?
pediment, .^_______^______

lake out a patent for it ami exacts to realize
a few million fram s profit from Mg nie.
Ile claims that thc liquor will become a staple
drink among tho poor. He says it will lie
wold cheap, so that a large family may subsist
for a week on a fianc's wotth of the liquor.1'
It is evident that if Succi's African herb liquor
is what he claims, it will fill a long-felt want*
Ho is now undergoing a fast of thirty days
and thirty nights in order to demonstrate tho
virtues of his elixir. At tho beginning of
thc fast he took a few drops of tho liquor,
ami he was to take a few drops more In the
middle and a third dose at the end. Ho has
fasted now some thrco weeks; ho is closely
watched, and it is reported that though he
has lost some flesh his strength has apparently
not diminished, and all tho vital functions
continito to lie performed with nounal vigor.
Thc circumstance that his e.\|>critiicnt is not
made, like Dr. Tanner's, to show the endurance
of tbe human organism, but as an advertise?
ment of tho "Only Genuine and Reliable
African Herb Elixir," may weaken confidence
in his discovery, but there can lie no quest ion
M to the importance of that discovery, sup?
posing it to bo real.
For while thc attention of civilized people
has for some time Is-en taned to tho drink:
evil, it is perfectly ch'ar that tho eating evil
is a far moro serious and porvasivo one.
'?Uh, Hunger ! "?Mad a mo Boland might have
exclaimed if she had thought of it?"How
many crimes arc committed in thy namo!"
In fact, a largo percentage of all the mischief
done in the world may lie traced to this dis?
agreeable gas4 ric sensation. In tho provcrlis
of all nations it is set down that a Hungry
man is an Angry man. It is notorious that
the rash wife who asks for a new bonnet l?e
fore instead of after dinner always fails dis?
mally in her suit. The man who has not
dined is morose. The man who cannot dine
ii the enemy of his ipecies. Thc pursuit ol
wealth, which according to many thoughtful
observers ia leading the world into crass ma*
i.-rialism, is, when analysed* but the cndeavoi
to Keora an illimitable supply of dinners
breakfanta and suppers. The average rici:
man aims al rarrounding himself at meal timi
orilh luxury. As to the poor man, all
his time and energy are consumed in satis?
fying the cravings of ii perpetua] hunger, tai
I.is ideal of Heaven is of a place wi.eic "squall
meals " tue furnished without money and with
oin price,
Now comes Succi and declares that ho ii
in a position to change all this. Under tin
new regime there shall l>o no more luxor]
and profanion on the one hand and no mort
suffering and privation on the other. He ii
going to start a Prohibition movement agains
rating. He is to revolutionize civilization li
abolishing tho kitchen. Possessed of thi
African Herb Elixir the laborer and il"' mill
bonaira will stand on equal terms. A feu
drops of ihe Elixir in the moaning will settli
the whole qnestim of subsistent for tbe da;
or possibly for tho week. The grOM appctiti
which keeps so many good fellows for hour
at the table will disappear, and the energie
thus entrnnchised may lie turned to bette
account. It may l?c that at first the elTec
will I*' prejudicial to the growth of sociability
Ko doubt the epicure! will rebel against i

while it must is- admitted that kl will lie han
upon hotel! and n-s it'irints and boarding

elimination of hud cookery ; of the light whicl
will be shed upon Countless households whet

ippeari a* the modern David who is to sin,
the giant Dyspepsia with his African Ih-i
Elixir* and the contest will be watched witl
deep interest by millions. We foresee bu
ono really serious difficulty, namely, that 1
the Herb Elixir proVM a success it may b
rejected by thc suspicious poor on the issump
lion that lt is only a new capitalistic dodge t
pave the way for a general reduction of wage.*
If that apprehension can be removed th
Elixir will doubtle-s be welcomed everywher
with enthusiasm.

This ls why girls In China are not allowed to go to

Chinaman now in thti country: "They (women) would
not have a drunkard (or a huiband, but they would drink
a glass of wine with a fast young man. They would not
ute profane language, yet they lore the lociety of men
who they know are profane out of their preience. They
would not wish to be considered dishonest, out they use
deceitful wordi and countenance the loelotyof mon
known as deceivers. They would not be Irreligious, but
they *iiitle upon the most irreligious and eton Immoral

Nkwport, Sept. 1G [Special'.?In order to
show the facilities which are offered ships ot the oil
pattern for rigging a torpedo defcuce, tbe United -tat.-*
flagship Tennessee was almost stripped ot her spars to?
day. Masts and yar ls were taken from aloft, put over?
board, rigged out from tho ship's aida and
oounected with each other by heavy hawsers.
The ropes, ipari aud nettiu.-* were Intended
to keep ? .il any boats tnat might want to leach the *hi|/o

which bad been faning all day long untie the assigned
time one of the greatest advantage to tho enemy's lor*
petlo flotilla. Of course lt was not advisable to Ml
broadside guns for the reception of tho euemy, bat
something a* serviceable for the occasion batt besa
adopted with which to glvo the torpedo flotilla a hearty
welcome should they venture too near tbe ship's sids.
-team had been gotten up on one of tho boiler* an 1 lb!
hose attached to the ste vu aud hand pumps ando
nozzle was in readiness for its destructive work on botk
bow and quarter.
A nun.ber of sinai: boats had be?n sent out o:i patrol
duty to watch tho enemy's approach. A report from
the forecastle about I o'clock, "lloat righi un the port
Pow, slr." caused a great excitement, and sure enough a
torpedo-boat OMM ? u-hlng at full aoee.1 toward lita
Tennessee, but was discovered ami ruled out before s'n
could ram against tho strong breastwork. The pump!
wete started and a stream of salt water surprised tho
enemy, who had received agood tiueklug. Hy t..i- lim!
another boat approached the ship, hut vtas duly warned
off by the officer ou tho bridge, who shuutod turougu hu
trumpet :
" Bring the hot water hose this way. Hurry np witk
the hot water. Make it gt-.id and warm."
Numerous boals now attacked the frigate from all di*
rectloti*, but the fortilleallous were built bu stroug
and secure that lt wm a hard thiug for
anybody to get his torpedo near enou.h to do any
serious damage. Sharpshooters aud the Gatling gum
flied blank cartridges at the boat* as thoy cairn- wllhia
range, mi.all torpedoes fastened at the end of tu*
booms were exploded from the ship aol lt seemed a!
ttioogb everybody m-aiit real billlue*s. All the boat!
were discovered before they oame close to the vessel hf
the vigilant lookout kept ali over the ship. Ibo exercise
continue 1 for fifty minutes before tho la*t boat waa
