THE FOREIGN VOTE.

The Chicago Tribune gives ns a secondary cause of the election of Cleveland was the fact that of the new votes cast io the Northern States by a careful estimate -100,000 were those of men who have become naturalized since 1888 and voted for Cleveland, to not more than 50,000 who voted for Harrison. In the Eastern States no man of foreign birth is entitled to vote who has not been five years in this country. In most of the Western ones, with the exception of Ohio and Illinois, all that is necessary is a residence of a year in the State and a declaration of intention to become a citizen to make a voter of an alien. There were naturalized this fall in the city of New York 30,000 foreigners, and 15,000 in Brooklyn and 15,000 in the rest of the State. Some of them wero fraudulently naturalized, as they had not resided live years in the United Stfites, nor even two years, for Tammauy has no scrupleB on that point. Nine-tenths of those persons, or 54,000 voted for Cleveland, and about 0,000 for Harrison. This gave him his majority in the State. The prediction made by Chancellor Kent fifty years ago that the foreign voters of New York city would rule the State, has been fulfilled. Thirty thousand men have been naturalized in Cook county since the early months of 1891. Fivesixths of these, or 25,000, voted for Cleveland and the Democratic candidates. It is easy to see where the latter get their majorities. What is true of New York and Chicago is also true of Wisconsin, Indiana, and other cities or States in the East and West.

GHOVEU CLEVELAND ir. his speech at the Chamber of Commerce banquet on Tuesday evening gave utterance to the following: "Let r.s avoid tram^iling on each other in our anxiety to be the fir6t in the distribution of shares, and let us not attempt to appropriate the shares of others." Does this mean that he intends to go slow in the matter of appointments? As Postmaster Bonneil's commission does not expire until January, 1894, must the very hungry and very thirsty go a whole year before they know who Bhall drink at Uncle Sam's table in Crawfordsville? It will be fun for the outs.

IT is now proposed to reorganize the Supreme Court of the United States by increasing the number of Judges from nice to fifteen. The six additional Judges of course will be appointed by President Cleveland. These 6ix together with the three Democrats now on the bench will make the court Democratic by a majority of three. It will thus be seen that the results of the recent election are far reaching in their consequences.

THE only oflice the Democrats captured in Fountain county waB that of Treasurer. The Republicans elected everything else on the ticket, their candidate for sheriff going in by eight votes. The defeated Democrat takes his medicine in a manly way and doen not propose a contest. Crying over spilled milk is indulged in by children and rarely by overgrown men.

IF a $14 suit of clothes can be bought for S4 under free trade, the sooner the McKinley tariff law is repealed the better. The people have demanded a change in our tariff laws and if they are not given free wool, free iron, free lumber, free tin and free nearly everything else the devil will be to pay.

WE have EC-lected Crawfordsville as our home and expect to spend our lives here. Why not mako it as pleasant a home as possible. Everything that will tend to promote convenience, liealthfulness and beauty should be heartily favored by all progressive citizens.

THE Indiana Legislature will stand HF. follows: Senate—Democrats, 35 Republicans, 15. House—Democrats, 63: Republicans, 37. Total—Damocrats, 98 Republican's 52.

GOVERNOR CHASE has issued a Thanksgiving proclamation and designated Thursday, Noveinbbi 24, as the day, to conform to the day of National Thanksgiving.

THE Democrats will have about 212 members of the next House, the Republicans 133, and the Populists 11 r:4te

SOME of the citizens state that they will petition for brick streets in the

spring. Crawfordeville nmls a good system of sewerage first. I I MOVTOOMKHY county has a system of roads seldom equalled in Indiana, but they can be improved and extended and must be if we realize our greatest prosperity. Attend the Indiana Eoad Congress nt Indianapolis on December (!, 7, and S.

THE plurality for Claude Matthews for Governor over Ira T. Chase is (5,973. The Prohibition vote in the State was 12,-1(53, and the People's Party vote was 21,(592. The total vote in the State is 518,380, against 536,810 in 1888.

THE directoi-s'of the World's Fair by a vote of 2(5 to 4, have put themselves on record as favoring its opening on Sunday. A strong effort will be made in Congress this winter to reverse the action of that body last spring. "v t-

NEW MEXICO, Arizona and Utah together with the "twin relic of barbarism" will now be admitted as States. This will add six Democratic United States Senators.

BHICK street paving seems to be a certain thing. But the people should insist upon a sanitary survey of the city for the purpose of sewerage before any paving is done.

Ouit city water is the best in the State and all this talk of long toothed microbes lurking in it to snap up the innocent drinkers thereof is the sheerest nonsense.

HAVE MUCH TO PO.

WASHINGTON*, Nov. 14.—Monday, December 5, three weeks from now, the Fifty-second congress will meet in linul session. In the interest which has centered round the probable makeup and action of the Fifty-third congress sight has been lost for the time of the important work yet remaining' •uncompleted on the calendar of the Fifty-second congress.

Tho Anti-Option 15111.

One of the first mutters to be brought before the senate will be the Washburn anti-option bill, which lias already passed the house, and has shown that it has a clear majority in favor of its passage in the senate. The title of the bill is "II. R. 7845, an act defining 'options' and 'futures,' imposing special taxes on dealers therein and requiring such persons engaged in selling certain products to obtain license, and for other purposes." Its provisions are so sweeping that they would practically. it is charged, shut up the Chicago wheat pit, the New Orleans cotton exchange aud other institutions of like character. A strong opposition was developed to the bill in the senate, but there was still a stronger movement in its favor. Senator Washburn (Minn.), who had the bill in charge, only consented to lay it aside so as to allow of an adjournment of congress, when August had far advanced, 011 condition that it should be made the first special order for the next session and should be fought out to a finish.

Other Important Measures. This accordingly has to be done. The senate has a number of other important house bills on its calendar, including the "free wool bill" and othei so-called "pop-gun"' tariff repeal measures of the house. These have slumbered hitherto in the committee on finance, but a determine :1 effort will, no doubt, be made to bring them out and to send them up to the president for his action. The house may possibly be given an opportunity to reconsider its action and to talce up the senate's free coinage of silver bill. The silver men will try to bring this about.

The appropriations for the current year will probably evoke little discussion, except in one important respect. Secretary of the Treasury Foster, to whom the law requires that all estimates shall be sent prior to the meeting of congress, has already intimated informally that those estimates will simply be a duplication of the appropriations which congress has already agreed to be necessary for this year, and that no recommendations will be made for any increases of expenditure or of force. The one exception, upon which a lively discussion may be looked for, is that part oi the sundry civil bill which makes appropriation for expenses of United States courts, commissioners, marshals and deputy marshals. Senator Allison (la.) stated to the senate, when reporting the sundry civil bill for this year, as agreed upon in conference, that the reductions made by the house would inevitably result in a deficiency.

To IMsciiss Klectlou I.awn.

The senate wished to appropriate S900.000 for "fees and expenses of United States marshals and deputies:"' the house cut the amount, down to $675,000 and stuck to that figure. gave SI 45,000 for fees

The senate of United the house

kt

States commissioners knocked off 845,000.

The senate appropriated S 2'25,00!) for fees of clerks, etc.: the house reduced the amount-to SI75.000. Any attempt to appropriate for deficiencies under these heads will surely precipitate debate which will bring up the whole question of the election laws and their enforcement.

In the absence of Senator Allison (la.) in Europe attending to his duties as a member of the international monetary conference, Senator Hale (Me.) will be acting chairman of the senate committee on appropriations.

KNIGHTS OF I.AHOK IN SESSION. ST. LOUIS, NOV. 17.—The report of General Secretary and Treasurer Hayes, ot' the Knights of Labor, begins with a .statement of the condition of the benefit insurance feature of the order's work, which, owing to lack of support by the members, has not been very successful. He urges the delegates to adopt measures to arouse the interest of the membership in this part of the work of the order. 11 is tinancial statement shows that, including the balance 011 hand at

the. beginning of the fiscal year July 1, IS'.H, the total receipts of the order have been §(50,01-1. L'J, and the total expenditures S50,74S.82, leaving a balance on hand 011 .Inly 1, loOS, of SS05.:i7. The membership of the order has increased slightly dm ".ng the past j'ear, and has now over '200,000 members in good standing. Kxeept slight balances due some of the general officers on salary, the order is entirely clear of debt all its property, including the general headquarters in Philadelphia, some coal mining property in Indiana, and other property in this state and elsewhere, is fullv paid for, and foots up a total value of in the neighborhood of 5100,000. l'owiierly's Address.

The annual address of General Master Workman Powderly to the sixteenth general assembly of the Knights of Labor was extremely lengthy, occupying over an hour in its delivery. A spnopsis follows:

After congratulating his hearers on tho present prosperous condition of the order, he reviewed the labor movement at length. There were too many labor organizations, he said, and the tendency of the labor movement seemed to be divided up, while that of tho opposing force —capital—was to consolidate, and thereby to gain strength to combat the forces of industry, when, single handed, they were arrayed bs fore them.

Itnllot Reform.

The members of this organization are to be congratulated on the gratifying result of tho agitation for ballot reform which was inaugurated by the general assembly a few short years ago. When the question was first presented to the general assembly no state in the United States held elections under laws which would secure the voter in the right to cast his ballot without intimidation, scrutiny or without subjecting himself to the espionage of those who might have it in their power to injure him for voting contrary to their wishes. Now there are some thirty states in which the secret ballot law is in force. In some of these states the laws are not up to the standard established by this order, but theso laws maybe amended— none of them should be repealed. There must be no backward steps taken 011 this great question. It is the opinion of the general master workman that wo should go still further in advocating the passage of election laws which will render it impossible for any person to vote unless he can read his ballot. He asks that a committee on initiative and referendum be appointed here for the purpose of presenting a plan on which an agit ition of this question may be carried on during the coming year.

Immigration.

Mr. Powderly dwelt on the matter of immigration, advocating the total exclusion of all immigrants who are not self-aupporting011 landing in this country. "There should be a llxcd term of years," he said: "ten would be e::ough, during which 110 immigrant should be allowed to land with a view to remaining unless each could prove that he had sufficient means to sustain himself and those depending i.pon him for one year."

Strikes and Lockouts.

Iti-port of the Kxfcutlvo Hoard. The general executive committee in its report approved the plan adopted last year of requiring each member in good standing to pay five cents to a fund for the payment of railway expenses of delegates. Much space wa^ unvoted to the review of the trouble with the combine of clothing manufacturers at Itochester, N. Y., and the efforts that have been made to settle it.. The report says on this point: "In spite of all devices and expedients of the combine, the boycott has been steadily and effectually prosecuted aud million^ of dollars of trade diverted from them." It is urged that the fight be vigorously prosecuteu with a prophcoy of ultimate victory. Tho

irtrd also reviews in detail the casj brought against National Master Workman .lames Hughes by the Rochester manufacturers, which case is

,w 111 1,16

hands of (!ov. Flower in the

shape of a petition asking for Hughes1 pardon. The, statement is made that Gov. Flower refused to act 011 the ease until alter the election, and there is an indirect charge that the jury which convicted Hughes was packed.

The trouble between the. Knights of Labor aud the World's Columbian Exposition was given at great length, together with the elforls made by the knights to settle the diilicult v.

The report closes with a recommendation that the constitution of the order should be shortened by giving to the local and district assemblies greater power to make laws regulating their own affairs, merely retaining in the hands of the central body a general supervision.

Discussed Desired Legislation. The afternoon session was devoted to the report of the com in itt.ee on laws, which was made as soon as the session was called to order. The suggestions of the committee were 111 Wen up one by one and discussed by various members, and this discussion will be continued until all are disposed of.

The proposition to insert a clause in the platform providing for the use of the referendum scheme was, after much discussion, adopted. Another proposition was adopted providing for the establishment of an employment bureau by the order. A suggestion that there be stricken out of the platform the plank providing for a graduated income tax aroused considerable discussion, and instead of the suggestion being adopted the plank was made ail the stronger by the adoption of an amendment providing also for a tax on inheritance. Several minor matters of interest only to the initiated were also disposed of.

S

\V. T. T'. O

During the afternoon Mis. Ingalls, of St. Louis, representing the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union, made a fraternal call on the order and was granted a hearing in the interest of the organization under whose auspices she was sent, an appropriate reply being made by General Master uninian Powderly.

lliirrifton lioii5t to Ilullaiiapolu. WASHINGTON", NOV. 15.—A member of the president's family said Monday that President Harrison would go to his home at Indianapolis as soon as his successor was inaugurated. "The president has just reached this conclusion," said he, "and beyond this lie has made no pi tins. It is his impulse at this time, however, after returning to his old home, to make soi^e visits to his daughter, Mrs. McKee, in Boston, and friends at other points and possibly he maj' take a little tilp to Europe. After a good rest Gen. Harrison will settle down at Indianapolis. What he will do he has not yet decided.".

Minnesota's Congressmen.

ST. PAI'I., Minn., Nov. IT.—The congressional excitement in Minnesota was ended Wednesday by the receipt of the returns from the three missing counties along the Canadian border. They show that Haldwin (detn.) is elected over Searle (rep.) in the Sixth district by a plurality of 205. and Koen (pop.) over Feig (rep.) in the Seventh by a plurality of 313. This makes the Minnesota delegation stand: Four republicans, two democrats and one populist.

Referring to strikes and lockouts Mr. Powderly said that during the last six months Unpeople of this land had wiltu xsed such attempts of making the power of aggregated wealth supreme as were never dreamt of before. Whether it was at Coeur d'Alene, at llomes'ead, or at Buffalo tho instinct which guided the rapacious hand was the samA Centralized wealth, he said, drow the tire of scattered labor, and as a natural result labor lost in each battle, Mid if the lessons were taken carefully to heart the sacrifices would not be in vain. He continued: "The future must be a strike for tie rule of the people. We can decry politics as we please, but we must be politicians or the slaves ot politicians. We may shirk our responsibilities as citizens, but we are but piling high the wrath which follows neglect of duty. In a word, we must be law makers or law breakers. When we, in Hie last extremity, are driven close to the wall and deprived of right and privilege, it is done through the law. If the law is obscure or defective, a hireling judge can alwajs be found to construe in favor of the wealthy as against the poor. If every citizen of Pennsylvania understood and knew his rights: if he performed his duty under the law intelligently and as he ought to, no judge would dare to charge treason against workmen who but struggled for recognition. The battle of the future must be fought out 011 different lines from those which marked tne shifting progress of the past. These lines must diverge from and center at the ballot-box. Not as slaves to party bent on obeying the will of a boss or master, but as free men who value freedom and would maintain it should we vole."

A Complete Cure by HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA. This is from Mr. D. M. Jordan, a retired farmer, and one of the most respected citizens of Otsego Co., N. Y.

Fourteen years ago I had an attack of tho gravel, and have since been troubled with my

Liver and Kidneys

gradually growing worse. Three years ago I got down so low that I could «cnrccly walk. I looked more like a corpse tlian a living being. I had no appetite and for five weeks I a«e nothing but gruel. I was badly emaciated and hadno more color than a marble aiutue. Hood's Sarsaparilla was recommended and I thought I would try it. Before I had finished the first bottle I notlend that 1 felt better, suffered less, tho inflnminatioa of the bladder had subsided, tho color began to return to my face, and I began to feel hungry. After I nad taken three bottles I could eat anything without hurting me. Why, I got so hungry that I had to cat 5 times a day. I have now fully recovered, thanks to

Hood's Sarsaparilla

I feel well and am well. me marvel to see me so well."

Castoria.

"Castoria is an excellent medicine for children. Mothers have repeatedly told mo of Us good effect upon their children."

D11. G. C. OSGOOD, Lowell, Mass.

Castoria is tho best remedy for children of which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not far distant when mothers will consider the real interest of their children, and use Castoria instead of the variousquack nostrums which are destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium, morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful agents down their throats, thereby sending them to premature graves."
