Harper's Weekly, regrets the fact—if it is a 2 7 ient has contributed 0,000 to the Democratic campaign fund. We fail to detect any cause for regret or any thing inconsistent with a genuine reform of civil service. Political expenses must be met so me way.—Prom the Louisville Courier Journal (Dem.) Honest bnt Imprudent.

Tha vote has fallen oif in Ver mon and in Maine in comparison with fig ures of 188(5. There are peculiar reasons "why it a in New York. The Democrats have nominated in Governor Hill, a man particularly objectionable to the temperance men, Boston Herald (Mugwump). Democracy Defined. The assault upon our protective system'js open and defiant. Protection is assailed as unconstitutional in law, or as vicious in principle, and those who hold such views sincfirely cannot stop short of an absolute elimination from our tariff laws- of the prin ciple of protection. The Mills bill is only a step, but it is toward an object at the legis lation have clearly in mind. The important question is not so much the length of thestep as the direction of it.—General Harrison's Letter. A Sensible AYorkingman. A Feint. If Brice makes any fight in the western states it will only be in the nature of a feint. His real struggle is to add New York to the solid south by means of the slum vote of New York city and the practical consolidation of the eastern corporate monopoly interests to keep the rule of the country a way from the west. The republican hope is that outside of the Gould-Brice class, with its motto of "The public be d." outside of the slum vot ers of the metropolis, outside of the "northern men with southern principles," enough votes can be had to save the state of New York.— Chicago Tribune. Knifing Cleveland, The Iowa democratic state convention .adopted the following resolution: The democratic party, now as heretofore, declares itself onposed to prohibition, and strongly condemns the same as injurious alike to our business interests and the cause of temperance. 7 Republican Gatliags. Democratic Consistency. How these brethren do dwell together in Baity! I a horn they do, but nowhere else. Says Mr. Jones in his mugwump New York Times: Nobody teaches at the full amount of the duty is added to the price of the pro tected domestic products. I suppose at it is needless to explain at all these duties and assessments are added to the price of the articles upon Inch they are levied. Said a Democratic workmgman in Newcountry. York the other day I would rather pay one cent more for a dinner pail and establish an industry worth $30,000,000 annually to this nation than continue to support 100,000 Englishmen in making tin plate, when at number of Americans want employment." The argument is sound. I is sound from the workingman's standpoint especially, and it is sound from the standpoint of every intelli gent American citizen. Impudence. I is sheer, bald-headed impudence on the part of the Democracy to go on talking about their "tariff-reform." They are for giving us the Irish end of British free-trade. They would go back to the colonial system from which weescaped at the cost of the Revolution ary War. They would secure the operation in the tariff regulations of the Confederate Constitution. They put up Texas and Arkansas to legislate for New England and Pennsylvania. There is no capacity of reform of any kind in the ranks of the Democratic party. Tha party is as deficient in business ability as in partriotism. In matters of busi ness Carlisle and Mills are babies at the public breast.—M. Halstead. This is a very peculiar resolution for ,a democratic convention. Peculiar because it is true. Prohibition votes are liable to hurt every business interest in the country, as well as the cause of temperance, by helping to elect a man for president who represents alike free trade and the saloon. Are the democrats of Iowa knifing Cleveland?—New York PresB. A Little Fable New York Tribune: Once there was a man who got caught out in the rain. was hailed by Noah as he sailed by in his ark. A the time Noah hailed the man the man was standing tip-toe on top of a flag staff which was planted on the roof of the tallest building at the man could find. But even then the man at the time Noah hailed him was up to his chin in the water, "How does the wet weather suit you?" inquired Noah. "Oh, replied the man, I really hadn't noticed any humidity to speak of. Moral—This fable teaches what The Even ing Post means when it says at "theDemo •crate are satisfied with the Maine election." How Maine Went: Jus for the encouragement of the Demo cratic brethren, who still continue to discuss the political situation down in Maine, the central facte of the situation are given as fol lows. 1. Ever congressional district in the state was carried by an average plurality of about 5,000. 2. Every county in the state elected, for the first time in years, a Republican to the State Senate. 3. Every county in the state also gave a plurality for the state ticket. 4. The plurality in the entire state was abou+ 22,000. 5. The majority overall waSsomethingless than 18,000 when the Republican managers gave it out cold a few days before the election at they confidently expected 12,000. 6. The total Prohibition vote in Maine— the mother of the Prohibition was 2,000. Now, it is not worth while for our Demo cratic friends to get out of temper and sulk. The truth is that four years of Democratic experiment has furnished sufficient amuse ment for the American people, and they have determined to quit, and return to the virtu ous in government. Not Freo Traddcrs 0, No be Speaker Carlisle—All trade should free as possible. Grover Cleveland—I believe in free trade. Roger Mills—I fosire free trade, and I will not help to perfect" any law at stands in the way of free trade. Henry ^fiptterson—The Democratic party is a free-tratfe party or it is nothing. Th Democrat who is not a free-trader should go elsewhere. Secretary Fairchild—Add to the freelisl as many articles as possible. Reduce duties upon every dutiable article to the lowest point possible. Congressman Hare—If we did not require money to defray the expenses of government I would be an absolute and uncompromising free trader. Henry George—Mr. Cleveland stands before the country a champion of free trade. Mr. Mills' speech is a manly, vigorous and most effective free trade speech. S. _S. Cox—It would be a glorious consum mation of this debate could we only have gen tlemen on the other side join in this invoca tion to paper and type and to the hearts oi honest men to clear the way for British Cob den free trade. What the Kepnlican Party has Done.- ,. I subdued Rebellion a"nd saved the Union. I conquered war and established peace. I gave freedom to a race and a free ballot to all men. It was patriotic enough to create a debt to carry on war and honest enough to make provision to pay at debt. It made liberty universal throughout the States and the flag honored throughout the world. I made treason odious and loyalty the badge of respected citizenship. I raised the nation from bankruptcy and secured for our public credit the faith of the financial world. I made persons and property freedom of thought and of expression secure in every part of the land. It has dignified labor and secured its right ful reward by protective tariff laws. I has practically given each citizen a free home by securing the public domainfrom the monoply of capital. I has, by a rigid supervision of corporate franchise, made transportation cheap, safe and rapid for persons and property. It has, by wise economies and just laws, re duced the public debt and the interest upon it. It has, by generous, and yet just, appro priation for pensions, illustrated its love and respect for the Nation's gallant defenders. I has made competency a condition for appointment to office and fidelity to duty the tenure for holding it. It has reduced the public expenditure to the lowest point consistent with the general welfare and collected the tax from sources best able to pay it. It has made religious liberty more secure to all forms of faith by an enlightened public opinion and establish free schools with no sectarian denomination in them. I has, by fidelity to public trust, by its constitutional amendments, by its statutory enactments, Federal and State, by the life and character of its long line of statesmen, heroes, orators and martyrs, by its sacred traditions, and its matchless history of great things 'accomplished, proven itself competent and worthy to achieve the great things yet to be done forth good and glory of the A Millionaire—But, Oh, So Homely. The homeliest man in the United States was in the Capitol recently, and all the clocks stopped at once. His name is Melville Dennon, he hails from Dakota, is worth $5,000,000 in cash, has over 100,000 cattle on his ranches, and owns so much land out in that Territory that he does not know how much it is worth or how many acres there are. To look at him you would size him up as being worth just a ten-cent plugged dime. He is travelling for his health and to see if he cannot better his homely looks. State Senator Erwin would be an Apollo alongside of Mr. Dennon for beauty. "I know I am not good looking," he said, with a smile that started all the clocks again, "but do you know my homely looks saved my life once? How? Well, when I first settled out in Dakota the highways were filled with desperate road agents who were ready for murder and rob bery at any moment. I had consid erable dust with me when I started out prospecting for land. "I had been on the road for about three days, riding a white horse and looking about me. Fortune favored me, f6r I had not run across any of the road agents until about sun down of the fourth day, when I saw ahead of me several suspicious looking cus tomers. They gradually approached me, and when about twenty-five feet away suddenly halted. They were all agents, on horseback. They whispered for a few moments among themselves with frightened looks, and then the leader shouted: 'Great Scott! boys, it's the devil on horse back. Let's git,'and off they flew, as if Old Nick himself was really af ter them." Mr. Dennon is rather proud of his homely looks, because it makes him an object of attraction." He has fiery red hair and an extra ordinarily large head, but his looks are indescribable. In addition to his pleasure trip East, he is looking for a wife also, and went down to New York City to see if he could find one who will share his $5,000, 000 and lands with him. He was told he had better stop right here in Albany for a day or two, and he promised to come back if he could not find a wife in New York.—Albany Argus. a The Uncut Leaf. From the New York Star. lEfe/Sl^feS^^^S .Vt1,/**jiSft' iift4l:Jl'-^-l? One of the fossilized absurdities and inconveniences of our time is the uncut leaf of the book or magazine. It amounts simply to an unfinished book or magazine. The trimming of each book can be done by a machine in the fractional part of a minute. The reader is now required to do this part of the publisher's unfinished work. The custom is almost "Early English" in its origin, and dates as far back as the time when the Eng lish man hadn't many printed books, and was so proud and careful of his periodical as to want it sent him with the leaves uncut as a proof that no one had read it before him. Twobrought hundred and odd years ago it was a "big thing" to have any kind oi printed matter, and books were then regarded with actual reference. But the uncut leal is one of the many barnacles of custom and usage we stagger under and endure, along with the idea still currrent with a class that a woman has no head for business, or that a man can learn no new art, trade or profession aftei fifty. '&£ ?.* x* w«. FIFTIETH CONGRESS. Saturday, Sept. 22 SEITATE.—The Republican senators spent four hemrs in caucus to-day. Mr. Allisor. says at no vote wasstaken upon any sub ject and that the tariff bill is to be reported. Much regret has been expressed by some of the Republican senators because the tarif bill is not reported. Those who hold thi^ view, say at if the report shall be much longer delayed, the Republicans will able to derive any benefit from any bill that they may report. HOUSE.—A special meeting of the House committee on appropriations has betn called for Monday, to consider the Senate bill making an appropriation of $100,000 forthe relief of the sufferers by yellow fever in the South. The special committee of the House investi ating the charges against representative tahlnecker, New York, took a further ad journment to day until Monday. Congressman O'Neill, of Missouri, saw the President today and believes at his labor arbitration bill which has passed both houses, will be approved. Monday, Sept. 24, SENATE.—The Senate finances committee's tariff bill ha* been finished by the sub-com mittee, and will be reported to the full com mittee to-morrow morning. I will be with held for a brief time from publicity to give the minority an opportunity to frame its adverse report which work Senator Beck is superintending at Fortress Monroe. I is estimated at the bill will reduce the revenue about $65,000,000. A bill was introduced by Senator Stewart, directing the president to inform the Chinese government that the relations of peace and good order of the United States require the abrogation of the treaty stipulations be tween China and the United States, so far as they relate to the entry and residence in the United States subjects. HOUSE.—On motion of Mr. Thomas, of Wis consin, a bill was passed authorizing the construction of abridge across the Missis sippi river at a Crosse, Wis. Mr. Craine offered a resolution (offered by him some days ago but refused immediate consideration), empowering the judiciary committee to report at any time a bill for the suppression of trusts. Referred. Tuesday Sept. 25. SENATE.—The Senate passed private pen sion bills which were on the calendar to which there were no objections. Among the bills passed was a Senate bill granting a pension of $3,500 a year. to the widow Gen. P. H. Sheridan. Mr. Berry said he was opposed to the bill, but would not make any argument against it, contenting himself with voting on its passage, which he did. HOUSE.—The House passed an amendment to the naval academy bill declaring that here after the minimum age for the admission of a cadet to the academy shall be 16 years and the maximum age 21 years. The house passed a joint resolution, accept ing the invitation of the imperial German government to the United States government to become a party to the international geo detic association. Mr. Hitt called up the joint resolution, re questing the president to negotiate with the government of Mexico for the creation of an international commission to determine all questions touching the boundary line be tween the two countries. Wednesday Sept. 20. SENATE.—The resolution of Mr. Sherman, which, authorizes the senate committee on foreign relations to sit during the recess and to make an inquiry into the relations be tween the United States and Great Britain and Canada, was to-day reported back to the senate without recommendation. This means at the resolution is to be made the text of speeches, and it is not expected that it will serve any other purpose. The retaliation bill has been referred to a subcommittee of the committee on foreign re lations and at subcommittee, in a parlia mentary sense, is a nurse that cares not for it." There is no expectation in the commit tee or in the subcom»inittee that the bill will be reported to the senate unless it shall be with an unfavorable report. The expectation is that there will be no report. HOUSE.—The house to-day passed the Northern Pacific forfeiture bill. The signifi cant fact about this action is at it was taken without a word of debate. I would have been possible for the opponents of the bill to have prevented its passage by raising the point of no quorum for there is no quo rum, and is not likely to be one until next De cember. But no one is raising that point as to land grant forfeitures bills six weeks before election. A forfeiture bill of such magnitude has probably never before passed the house without material opposition or debate. Hol man was not present. The bill now goes to the senate, where it will follow the ordinary course. Thursday, Sept. 2S. SENATE—The senate committee on finance began the inquiry into the operations in this country of the French copper syndicate. The information obtained was that the syndicate took all the surplus copper produced in America and sold it abroad, payingthe Amer ican companies one-half of the sum realized above 13 cents a pound and making the deficit good when the price realized was less than 1 3 cents, whether sold at home or abroad. The feature of today's session of the Senate ivas a lively political debate over Mr. Chan Iler's resolution for the investigation of the Louisiana election outrages. The discussion, drifted into the political outrages in Texas, in acrimonious debate ensued between Sen ators Coke and Spooner. The Senate committee on finance resumed the reading of the tariff bill for an hour yesterday, and has now progressd to page L35, the first 87 pages being the Mills bill. HOUSE.—After concluding the testimony the committee investigating the charges against Stahlnecker went into secret session, and a few minutes resolved unanimously to report to the house at it found the charges against the accused to be unsustained. Friday, Sept. 28. SENATE.—The senate committee on finance devoted four hours to the reading of the new tariff bill to-day and reached the end at halt past 3. Senator Harris expects to receive from Senator Beck on Monday the latter'* suggestions in regard to the minority report and to be ajble to submit them to the com mittee by Wednesday. HOUSE.—Mr. Rice of Minnesota presented in the house the report of the special commit tee which has investigated the charges against Representatives Stahlnecker of New York in connection with the new library building. The report finds the charge not sustained, and says the committee is satisfied that Mr. Kelley, who set on foot the inquiry, was actuated by the most honorable motivee and a sincere desire to vindicate the honesty of the house. The work of the house is substantially at an end. The deficiency is the last of the ap propriation bills, and itisthe opinion of both sides of the house at nothing more will be attempted at this session. The Democrats are understood to have agreed upon, thf policy at no more bills which appropriate money shall be permitted to pass, and that no bills. of any nature shall b( up except it be some bill for a bridge or a. right of way. The color less bills which can be passed by unanimou consent have been nearly all passed. Tin calendars of the house and of the commit tees are filled with bills, but they are bills a* to which there will be controversies anc which are certain not to pass in the absence of a quorum. mm i'jf^ A man was arreBted as Tascott atj Denver, Col.

A lad seventeen years of age name Wer ley Yail was out duck hunting on the mill pond, when he accidentally dis charged the entire contents of one barrel of his gun into his face, killing him instantly. John Bowman, six miles south of Ada, was attacked by a vicious steer aud severely injured, and probably would have been killed had it not been for the brave efforts of hisTHE son, a lad of twelve years, who drove the vicious brute away with a club.

Mrs. James Huron has sued her mother-in-law, Bridget Huron, for 3lander, and places her damages at $1,000, all at Wabasha. I seems that Mrs. James was not conducting herself in the most decorous way and that her mother-in-law attempted to give her some advice, hence the diffi culty. Frank Dadeck, fourteen years old, had his right leg badly injured in the trimmer at Libbey's mill at Hastings, his apron catching in the shaft and pulling him over into the endless chain.
