HILLISM IN NEW YORK.

If the constantly expressed desire Of the people for purer methods and more wholesome laws be half as earnest as it ia noisy, great will be the de feat of the Democratic party ia New Tork at the November eloction. The Secretary of State, who will head the Democratic ticket, and every Democratic candidate for a seat in the State Legislature, will go to the country as a mhn approving of the post and pledged to the future policy of Governor Hill. It will, be Hillifliu against reform, and even against decency, in the New York campaign. - And what is Hillism? The reform element demands high license as a means of cheeking the great and growing evils which the mul.Utude of ' saloons have begotten and forever are begetting all over the State, and especially in the large cities. Governor Hill has vetoed every measure which the Legislature has passed as a check upon th-liquor trade, -end-his -call to the Demooratio convention has stopped little short of. an open declaration of hostility to any and every form of legislation which may hinder or lessen the sale of intoxicating liquors. Governor Hill also vetoed, with undisguised contempt, the Saxon bill, althongh both parties had demanded electoral reform in their platforms of 1888, and although the bill contained all that is best in the Australian ballot law. He gave active aid and support to the defense of one of the most guilty participants in the scandalous "ceiling steal" connected with the Capitol Building. Though lxtU parties pledged themselves to labor for the reform of the civil service, Governor Hill has surrounded himself with the most unscrupulous gang of officials that the State ever has been burdened with. He defeated the jwpular desire for a Constitutional Convention. He has done everything that the liquor sellers, the ballot-box staffers, the dishonest publio contractors have desired him to do, and he has. left undone everything that the friends of temperance, the advocates of an honest ballot, the promoters of civil strrvice reform, the champions of honesty in the making and securing of publio contracts have wished him to do. This is Hillism, and Hillism is what is to pass as Democracy in the next K ew York election. It would seem impossible that any nomination of good Republican candidates should fail to overcome the array of Hillism at the polls. It would be impossible if the ballot-boxes in New York City were as carefully guarded as those in tho lesser towns and rural districts of the State. The hope of Hillism lies in direct bribery, in that indirect bribery which saloonKeepera can exercise toward many of their customers, and in that thinly disguised intimidation whioh one set of minor officials can bring to bear upon tho criminal classes, and which another set can exercise toward those who are dependent upon it for place or profit. Yet tho prospects of Democratic success are far from bright. There is a protest against Hillism, even in the Democratic party, and there is steady hostility to it among the Independents. New York is becoming impressed with the belief that the defeat of Hillism is as much a necessity now as the defeat of Tweedism was aforetime. Chicago inter Ocean, , Bosh! Periodically and especially upon the eve of a political campaign the Democrats discover Republican conspiracies for negro colonization and raise a clamor that Republican leaders are running negroes into election districts with the intention of vctinr them and then running them ont again. There has not been an election in Illinois, Indiana, or Ohio these last dozen years when the story has not been started that, negroes were crossing the river into the southern counties of these States for this nnrnose. and in everv case the reports have proved to be lying fabrications. Now a similar clamor has been raised concerning a conspiracy to induce negroes to emigrate from the South into the Northwest, and particularly into Montana and 'Washington, as a political move to help the Republicans in the pending new State elections. So far as any organised movement of negroes into these territories is concerned, there is just the same basis of truth that there has been in the other movements- to which reference has been made and no move. So far as opportunities for labor are concerned in those localities and so fax as inducements can be held ont to the negroes that they can better their condition there may be a movement on the part of such of them as can find the money necessary to make the change, just as there is on the part of white men, bnt that the movement will amount to anything like a general exodus, or, in fact, amount to anything more than a change of base on the part of individuals here and there, there is no reason to believe, and those clamoring Democrats know it. The conditions of olimate and soil and the opportunities for agricultural labor in the new States do not present any4ndueementn strong enough to attract the Southern negroes. The climatic conditions "of- Arizona and New Mexico and both the climatic and agricultural conditions of California, which runs farther south een than the Gulf States, are well adapted to the negro, and access to them by the great transcontinental lines has been easy for the last fifteen or twenty years, and yet hardly a nanarui 01 negroes nave been induced to leave the South and go there, notwithstanding the injustice, brutality, and outrages inflicted npon them in the cotton States. Even in Missouri there are no more negroes, comparatively, than there were during slavery times. If there is ant- general move-1 ment of negroes in the (South it will be toward the rich cotton lands along the Southern rivers and toward the alluvi al districts of the Mississippi valley. This is already shown by the gravitating of large bodies oi negroes from North Carolina into Southern Alabama and MiSBissippi, and this to such an extent that the whites of these States are even now dreading; the increase of the existing black numerical superiority. To whatever extent Washington and Montana may iuoniaso their vonulation by colored men, it will be due only to the inducements which those States can hold out to them in tho way of labor at more remunerative wages tnan tney are now receiving ana to tlie prospect that they may in time get land of their own and be allowed to njoy the result of their own industry without any regard to polities. How great or how little the movement may be time can alone determine, but the experience of the past is oertainly un-

favorable to the expectation that the movement will ever reaoh dimensions entitling it to be called colonization, or even sufficient to attract general ob-m-rvation. Be this as it may, it comes with 'a ill grace from Democrats, who pose As the friends of labor, and pretend to love the laboringmen, this continuiil'i clamor and hullabaloo every time the negro manifests a desire to betttir his condition and seek some plaoo -where he con secure just and ecimlisble remuneration for his work.

A jftlaxy of brilliant and well-known statesjaen discuss in the Press the various positions in relation to the now apportionment to be made on the populatioijp&turns of 1890. In the letters, we find a great variety of opinion. Fo examVue. a Texas statesman thinks the, Howie of ItepreseoUtdveS' should -be) cut down to lou, wmie his colleague from Kansas would gladly sod it increased to 430. Some think Congress too unwieldy now, while others think by aboiisiung tlie desks an increased number of representatives could easily ie proviaea ior. There is much that is instructive and interesting in these letters. The table presented below also has a value. The minimum estimate of the popula tion is based on the returns of the sev eral State censuses, upon the vote of last fall, atod the general knowledge of the drift or migration from one State or one pan of the country to the other, It is probably as near correct as any estimate. Some statisticians believe the population of the United States will be G7,00,000 in 1890. The estimate of the census office, on which the cost of the forthcoming census xs base m, is ua,uuu,uuu. -lie rreas estimate does not ouite reach this figure. The general idea as obtained from the published letters is to increase the population per Congressional district, and to lessen rather than to increase the number of Congressmen. For ex ample. Senator Hawley thinks a popu lation of 190,000 to a Congressional district about right, which, if carried out, would not increase representation, but leave it where Hon. William Al. Springer, of Illinois, thinks it should be left at 330. We have therefore figured it oqt on the present basis of representation, say ssu members, giving a population of 192,999 to each district, and: also on the basis of 215,000, 2-0,000,. 6,000, and -30,000, re spectively. The results may 1e sum marized as follows in tne tmectorai uoilege: 1 s a 4 5 BepubUcan States 198 184- ISO 178 173 Beruocratio States 181 153 16 141 140 Donbtfnl States 54 49 49 48 40 1192,999 to ene district: 9 818,000; 8-2 000; 4225,000; S-,000. Here we have an Electoral College aggregating respectively 414, 380, d73, 365 and SCO. It is not necessary for us to present the various combinations, but one thing is certain namely, that the pleasing fiction that the Republicans can elect tho next President with out tire doubtful States is likely to da a good deal of harm in the JKepubiioan ranks unless counteracted by the cold facts and figures. In future contests the Republicans will undoubtedly stand the best chance, but our plan of. campaign must contemplate not only I every doubtful State, but two or three I wavering States, fought out on tius Ixne, the republicans will sorely elect a President on the new apportionment, on whatever basis it is made.

The value of the livle is no small nart of the value of the animal, A moderate estimate would place its value at one-fourth the total value of the animal. But for several years the valuo of hides has been steadily de clining, and by a coincidence that is easilv explainable, that decline has gone right along over since they were put upon the free list. Few people not interested in toe Business realize how extensively hides are imported into this country. The following table prepared by Mr. W. F. Wakeman, of .Kansas Uity, a gentleman wno nas made special investigations of the sub' ject, shows the enormous volume of this importation since 1860: I860...; eio.e,c99 1670 .. !. 1890.... 30,002,254 1881 ..1 27,477,019 1882... 27,841,128 IBS) 27,640,030 181........; 22,350,903 18ft( 80,586,443 1680 38,099,013 1887 St,81,101 TMH 23,959.3:9 1889 S15,l-,750 Stockmen will readily understand that hides that are imported free come into direct competition with them, and that they have to meet lower prices by reason of this fact. Since hides were put upon the free list, their value has steadily declined from 12 cents a pound to about one-half that amount. Every man who deals in hides is interested in getting better priocs for his product. But with hides upon the free list, he is virtually at the mercy of a foreign market, and obliged to out his figures to meet the competition from abroad. An effort will undoubtedly be mode to have the ranchmen and the stockmen given the same protection that is given to tho wool growers. Wool is protected for the benefit of the wool growers. Why should not bides be protected for the benefit of stock raisers ? When legislation for this purpose is proposed, the Democratic party will oppose it with all its power. Every stookman should bear this fact in mind, and oast his vote with the party of protection to American industries. Ibtoa State Xegitter. Tub black man is usually "the aggressor." He "makes threats." "He is armed," and "gathered in large numbers" in some swamp and ready, to swoop down upon the defenseless, white population. But it should bo remembered that he does not control the Associated Press, nor send special telegrams, and even under such circumstances, word seldom comes that ho has scourged or killed white people. With brave, courageous men should such defenseless condition excite pity instead of revenge. A vavkr known as the National Democrat has. just been started at Washington, v. u. it seems iue a voice from the tomb. The last paper of that name of which the country had any previous knowledge died at Peoria last year after a mortal illness of more than a quarter of a oentury. It was the most emaciated framework of skin and bones when it finally did die that tho pitying eye of man over gazed upon.

For a number of years the old Point House, 011 the old Telegraph Hill road, has been ocoupied by a number of colored people and an old white woman called "White Dove," or "Granny Scales."

When asked if they were doing snyt hing for him the occupants of the air-oust le replied that he was' tin ' a fit and could eat or drink nothing. What keeps him alive is a mystery. Nothing is being, done excepting that his tender-hearted associates turn him over to keep the sunbeams from bis face. Patents Issued to Indlani Inventors.

The tragic death of a man and woman, whose bodies were found in a field nest Windsor, Canada, with no means ot identification save a tax receipt from Bub 1 County, Indiana, and a gold ring marked "M. A. ).," developed the fact that Silas Dunsmore, formerly a resident of Brookville, but for some time a resident of Bentonville, Fayette County, abotit three weeks since married Myrtle ; A. Green, and they were making a wooding trip at the time of the tragedy, Friends believe that it may not have beer, suicide, as Dunsmore had considerable money when he started. K double murder occurred at Menter,. a small town located about five miles from Huntington. Andrew Tussly, Marl in Hillmell, and John Tussly had beer, drinking pretty heavily and were indulging in a regular spree. As one of the trio expressed it they were "painting lihe town red." They finally become involved in a quarrel over a petty matter in dispute, drew their knives and began slashing each other. The result was that Andrew Tussly was killed outright by John Tussly, who also fatally wou:ided Hillmell. Andrew Tussly and Mart in Hillmell were in good oiroumstanses and the fathers of large families. 'Babe Roberts," the woman re cently whipped by the White Caps, tell a reporter at Leavenworth that there were twenty-five in the crowd of White Caps, but only twelve calle d at the bouse.

"When they were through with me," said Miss Roberts, "I told them that they had killed my mother, and they earried her back into the house. They struck me twenty -nine hard licks and my boy got three or four, and the cuts were as big is onv'a finger." She says she knows three of them, and proposes to ask I heni why they whipped her.

When he was rescued not a shred of olotitingwas on his body. His shoes warn split from top to toe. A large gash was cnt in his forehead, his arm broken in three places tshree ribs were crushed, and his heels, where they struok the floor with each revolution of the wheel, went mashed to a pulp. In this condition the man still lives, and there are hopes of his raoovory.
