When the Demo cracy framed the Mills bill as the em bodiment of tbelr intent and views, the tariff on common ware was slight ly reduced, in accordance with the idea of cheapening the goods consum ed by the masses. The duty on tho liuer grades and decorated ware re mained unchanged. In addition to this, the duty was replaced on crates* packages, etc., which, according to conseratlve authority, would have vir tually Increased the tariff ou all grades of ware. This btll was heralded as a “free trate measure” and terrible tales of woe were pictured as impending in Doetry circles if it should become a law. This was told, notwithstanding that the Republican tariff commissioners had recommended as a horizontal reduction of twenty per cent, in the duty on crock ery a short time previous. The Seuate bill, framed for political purposes at the time the Mills bill was before Congress, cut the tariff on crock ery five per cent, lower than the “just what was wanted.” Such actions were ridiculous, but they were not different from the usual stock iu trade statements given to the public.

Tha Damocratic Speakers Who Went Through the West on an Organizing Tour Were Weil Received Iverywhere, and Did Great Good Work — The Need is Newspapers. Special Telegram to the Htgieter. Washington, October 22.—Senator Faulkner, before returning to Martins burg, talked with the Register corre spondent very entertainingly about his recent long trip through the west. He said: “Yes, I reached home last Sat urday evening, after one of the most in teresting aud instructive trips I have ever taken. In thirty-five days we traveled over 8,000 miles and held thirty-six meetings. We found the De mocracy of the northwestern and west ern States thoroughly aroused to the importance of organizing the party and making a vigorous fight for victory in ’92. “Washington was the best organized State wo passed through. The organ ization of the party iu the States of North Dakota, Montana, Oregon, Cali fornia, Colorado and Nebraska, and the Territory of Utah, was not as efficient as we are accustomed to in the East. In four of them, however, State organiza tions were thoroughly perfected, t'iere being representatives in the conven tions from every county. In tho others, great energy and enthusiasm was mani fested, and by the spring of 1392, the party in all of those States will bo thor oughly organized in every county. The meetings were all large aud enthusiast ic. After speaking at the most promi nent place in each State our party was divided, and in charge of committees, would bo taken to other points of im portance where meetings would beheld. “I was struck with the fact that in every place where we spoke the towns were provided with most beautiful opera houses, and In all the hotel accommoda tions far exceeded those of cities of the same size in the East. The trip was very exhausting ana laoonuus, out uw generous hospitality extended by the people of the West, and t.he earnestness and enthusiasm of the Democracy fully repaid every member of the party for the labors which it imposed upon him. I was surprised at the number of West Virginians that I met in every city at. which we stopped, and I am glad to say that their energy and enterprise have placed them among the foremost in tha battle for success with that aggressive population. Heretofore, business has so monopolized the attention of those rapidly developing communities, that the importance of thorough political or ganization has beeu lost sight of. but this will not bo the case in the future. “One of the most gratifying evidences of political regeneration that I noticed in the West, was the largo number of young men, many of them educated in the East, who, notwithstanding the ties of inheritance aud family traditions, were espousing thoeauseof Democracy, and rallying to the support of it^ policy of tariff reform. The terrible burdens imposed by the McKinley bill seem to have aroused them from their lethargy, and stimulated their energies in behalf of the people in opposition to the crimi nal policy of favored elsss legislation. “What we want more than anything eDe in the West to assist the active and aggressive leaders is the newspaper. Three-fourths of the morning dailies are Republican, aud in the counties the Republicans have a large number of wide-awake papers maintaining the pol icy of their party. The press is a great power, and those who have watched its course in the East, must realize and appreciate the assistance we have received from it in the great contests in this soction for a revision of the tariff, and a reduction of the war taxes. It Is but just and fair, however, to the Republican press, for me to add that they treated all of our party with the greatest consideration and fairness.’' And it should bo said that the Sena tor’s appearance bears out the asser tion that he had received the best of treatment in the West, lie looked in excellent health and was full of anima tion and enthusiasm.

Mr. Blaine said that for nearly a month after reaching Bar Harbor before he began to realize an improvement in his health, but from then on the gain had been greater thau he could have hoped for. However, he added! “I suppose some of tho worthy correspondents will heep up the old story of exhausted nature, shattered constitution, etc. My appe tite is vigorous—almost inconveniently so. Nov;, thero is nothing so exhaust ive to the average man as travel. Well, I have done a great deal of that in my time, but this summer I did none, aud found that rest from that alone was highly beneficial.” Mr. Blaine spoke of the political situ ation in New York, Massachusetts and Ohio, and seemed to feel a strong confi dence that in all the States the Republi cans would win. Mr. Blaine met a dele gation from tho Merchants Association and talked with them quite freely and fully upon the reciprocity question. He made a conditional promise to speak thereon in Boston some time during the coming winter, qualifying his promise with tho statement that ho did not wish to bo over-sanguine about his physical restoration and that ho could not put the requisite test upon his strength un til after the resumption of his Washing ton work. During all the time Mr. Blaine remained in his rooms lie re ceived and dispatched numerous mess ages.

Sptcial TtUqram to the Regitttr. Weston, W. Va., October 22.—The Board of Directors of the Hospital for the Insane, closed an interesting ses sion here to-day. During the progress of their deliberations five of their num ber, two Republicans and three Demo crats, constituting a commitee for the purpose, investigated the recent acci dents at the institutions, about which there has been so much published by newspapers known to bo prejudiced against the management. Their report completely exonerates the officials and all connected with the Hospital, and gives a black eye to these persons who have been so assiduous in their attacks upon the institution. After reciting the circumstances at tendant upon the two accidents and one suicide, that have occurred amongst the patients during the last six months, the report says: “The committee is unanimously of opinion that the Stiper In tend ant, assistants and attendants are free from blame in the premises; that accidents and suicide could not have been foreseen, and that in the manage ment of the Institution great care is taken for the safety of the patients.” The report is signed by Messrs. Louis Bennett, J. S. Ilyar, A. G. Giffin, €. L. Thompson and John A. Preston. These gentlemen, who are all prominent in public alTairs and interested in the good name of the State, made a very thor ough investigation with the above re sult. Their report will undoubtedly counteract the false and infamous accu sations alleged against the management and certaiuly dispel any anxiety that may have been entertained by persons who have friendsconfined in the asylum.

There are now 919 persons under treatment at the hospital and the genera! health of the inmates is good. AMERICAN ASSOCIATION MEETING.

Ah the applications were deferred, with small hope of being finally granted, un less the clrcut should bo enlarged to twelve clubs. KfMult of the Chilian Klectlon*. Santiago, October 22.—The election re turns show that the Liberals have a large majority in the Electoral College, the du ties of the members of which are, to a great extent, those of the Presidential Electors in the United States, with the important difference that the members themselves select the President. The members of the Chilian Senate serve a term of six years, and are elected directly by provinces. The members of theChamber of Deputies serve three years, and are elected by depart ments* The popularity of the Liberal par ty is shown by the f&ct that it has elected thirty candidates for the Senate, while the Clericals have elected only two.

The Head of the Catholic Church Ready to Leave Romo. THE CONSPIRING POLITICIANS Of Italy art to Blim* fcr ihu 8UU of Aflair* A Yery Inlemuap Interview With Cm of tho Chief Cardinal* — There is No MUnadtrstanding It. Rome, October 22.—Interviews with eminent Cardinals who are In a position to know all the secrets of pollcai opin ion at the Vatican, confirm the accur acy of the statements cabled in these despatches a few days ago in regard to the feeling at tho Vatican touching the demonstration of French pilgrims at the Pantheon. Au Associated Press correspondent has had an Important interview upon the matters referred to with one of the most Influential Cardinals, a prelate who is an intimate friend of tho Pope and in every way thoroughly qualified to express opluions on the subject. He said In substance: “Our position in Romo has undergone a radical chauge as a result of the events and of the die orders of October 2. “The investigation which wo havo made into that incident has proved that tho demonstration, justified under a chimerical pretext, was prepared vid arranged in advance by the Govern ment and Monotti Garibaldi, against the Radico-Republlcan demonstration of Nice and against the Pope. The King, the Ministers and the Llberal-Mrmar chi&l party were fearful of tho conse quences which might arise from the alliance of the Republic with tho Radi cal Republicans. “Resides we all know that tho Triple Alliance has been Informed of this game, and that It approved of this man ifestation as a reply to tho fetes at Nice, and as a direct nttark upon-the Pope and the pilgrims. It was a doslred af firmation, premeditated, of inonarchlal right against the French republic and against the statu quo at Rome. “You caunot imagine tho anxiety and fears of our liberal and official world in face of the Isolation of tho Holy See. Our Liberals had expected that the religious war waged in France would prevent all rising of opinion In this country, and that It would remit sooner or later in a violent rupture with the Holy Soe. Throughout tho summer our populations have boon looking forward to tho pilgrimages ns If they were the temporal moaslah spreading broadcast both gold and silver. . . t V IL «_A— 4.1a aLI. ••Hut when the Mnerai party ini snis popular current spreading; when they saw the people fraternizing with the pil grims; when It found Itself above all, confronted by the Incomparable and uu miotakable manifestations of popularity exhibited towards tho Holy Father, It was afraid.” ••Will the Pope accept this now situa tion?” “Never!” was tho firm reply, “oven though his life Is throatenod since the Vatican Is surrounded nnd placed In a state of selge. Hut the conscience of the Pope Is Incorruptible and Inflexible. His energy is Indomitable.” “But what will tho Pope do eventual ly?” said the correspondent. “I do not yet know,” was the reply. “He has caused a diplomatic note to bo sent to the Papal Nuncios touching directly upon the real significance of Pantheon scandals. Leo XIII, who weighs and weighs again his acta before coming to decisions, will wait before taking any stop, for the public mind to be well fixed upon the origin and the character of she liberal manifestations. When this work of preparation Is ac complished he will act.” “Will the Pope leave Home?” was tho correspondents next question. “Nothing Is yet decided” answered the Cardinal “but everything l« ready for such a step. Since October ? the ecclesiastical work has been partly pre pared for such a grave measure but more recent events have, to an appreci able extent, changed the state of mind. Kverybody 1* persuaded that the adver saries will go on to the bitter end.” “How about the conclave?" a.kod tho correspondent. “Tho same sudden rhango occurs there. Our clerical world Is dreading an e.xodn* and an Innovation and we were divided as to the decisions to take. Beeont events have caused a long step to bo taken In the idea of bolding the conclave abroad. We all fee I that the situation Is drifting fatally toward ex tremes. Wo thought that In the ca«« of war alone should we be compelled to seek for a Pope abroad, but events have enlightened us as to the last de sign* of the Italian revolution. We . shall be obliged to give way for a mo ment to force and to leave for abroad." Working forth* World'* Fair.
