The Democrats have discovered that •the people want free trade, and it is on ust that issue that they are going to Win the election in Indiana.—[Indianapolis Sentinel, September 6

"I have no personal grievance with SOT. Cleveland. I shall speak from the jreeord, and I will ask to be ostracized jrom all decent society if I cannot point io corruption stalking straight to the tfoorof the executive mansionjind knockMg at the door and coming out of the door, with all that corruption sought at ,*he expense of the people, if I cannot prove that bribes known to fall In the assembly in 1883 were placed so near Mr.

Some of oar Democratic friends this district apparently intend to give us a few exhibitions of Yazoo politics.

"Grover Cleveland's affair with Maria Halpin is andenied," says the CourierJournal. Then, why insist upon calling the Kev. Mr. Ball and those who first told the story liars?

Forty thousand copies of Carl Schurz' Brooklyn speech charging Blaine with corruption were circulated in Maine. We now understand why the Democrats were not surprised at the Republican majority. Being on the inside they knew about those speeches.

The nail works, the car works and the rolling mill are shut down and everybody oat of work in Terre Haute yet Terre Haute is a protection town.—[Marshall Illinoisan.

Our Marshall contemporary, like our esteemed afternoon contemporary, would be thrown into hysterics of joy if a panic came upon the country.

The paragraph taken from thp Illi noisan is well turned, but is somewhat faulty. The nail works and the rolling mill are not shut down, and everybody is not "out of work" in Terre Haute."

Cleveland speaks of "allegations" as "it." In bis dispatch to the New York World he said:

If your dispatch refers to the allegations that I have written letters to congressmen to influence their action on tariff measures or legislation, you may deny it in distinct terms on my authority.

Perhaps he means "your dispatch1 can be denied? Then perhaps he doesn't know what he means, and in this, the nearest approach to a public expression on the tariff issues, his mind became confused and his Ian guage involved. A great Clveveland—in avoirdupois.

A protective tariff is of thrice-fold benefit. It yields necessary revenue, protects established interests and develops new industries. The duty on sugars is to the point. The revenue from sugars and syrups amounting to $46,000,000 last year might seem an onerous tax to protect Louisiana alone which supplies only thirteen per cent, of our sugar, but the time will come when all of the 2,000,000,000 pounds now used in a year will be made in this country, when the hundred million dollars paid for it will be retained within our borders, hastening the day when all sufficient for itself this country will be its own beBt consumer and purveyor and quite independent Europe's or India's myriods. The ex perimentc made in France under the first Napoleon to supply beet suger when England embargoed all Europe and shut France and her allies from the ^est Indies were not as promising as oar own in making sorghum sugar. No one dared to quarrel with Napoleon's tariffs and penalties and beet sugar had to be used when it cost SO cents a pound seventy years ago in lieu of all other. Just as our own goods fostered by tariffs gradually decline in price under internal competition,beet sugar increased in supply and declined in price until to-day, Germany and France supply their own 82,000,000 people and export $50,000,000 a year to ttroat Britain, The United States is the only good customer left to the West India sugar planters.

the south. The protection to American sngar will develop a great business .not only in Louisiana bat in a score of states, and anew pursuit will enlarge the farmers' resources and add to that diversity needed in a country running too much to wheat and corn.

There could have been no encouragement to sorghum growers and sugar makers if .Cuba had sent us sugars free of duty, at about 2c to 3c a pound, as the lowest price thus far for sorghum is about 4c cost, but when our system is perfected, our crops growing and mills running, the probable first cost of sugar will be two cents a pound before refining. There will be a great saving in cutting off the India trade. Last year we exported to the West Indies $33,000,000, but imported $82,' 000,000, the largest item of the imports being sugars. Tfiis tariff on sugars which now favors the south, will before many years benefit the west still more. When the partially successful methods now used to make sugar of sorghum are perfected we can look for a rush into cane-growing and sugar-mak-ing. The increased manufacture of grape-sugar from corn and cane-sugar from sorghum will benefit western farmers, and hasten the time when it will pay to enclose every acre of the the Wabash bottoms with dyke or levee, to grow a crop that will pay one profit as cane and another for its seed, and probably another for its fibre, since it is found that the bagasse or refuse fibre of the crashed sugar cane makes a good paper stock.

The tariff on cotton goods built up a great market for southern cotton in the north and is now extending it back to

Let Us Be Fair.

N. Y. Star (Kelly). Let us be fair. The Bepublioan governor of Maine is elected by a majority of about 21,000. The prohibitory amendment is carried in Maine by a majority of 45,000. Obviously the unavoidable inference is that a majority of the Maine Democrats either voted for the sumptuary amendment, or, like Blaine, did not vote upon the issue at all.

,man

One staunch Republican who has the courage of his convictions and the money to back them up in betting on the election has with undaunted aggressiveness practically got the Knox .county Democracy at bay. Of course Democrats are too numerous for any good use in Knox and naturally they think Democrats are as numerous all over the county except (Maine) as they are in Knox. Their talk has been wild accordingly and they bluffed and blowed until no one was found to dispute their claims. Then Captain Isaac Mass came to the front and of fered bets aggregating[up in the thousands on the general result, that Blaine would carry Indiana, New York and Ohio, also that Cleveland would not get over two northern states in the Union and several hundred dollars that he would not carry all the rebel states. About five hundred dollars were raised by the democrats toward taking up the bets, but after the captain left his check to cover all or any part of the wagers the democratic fund failed to increase. The result is that the democrats down in Knox are not so sanguine as they were.

How the Blarney Stone is Kissed. Baltimore Sun. Among the Baltimoreans just back from Europe is the Rev. Dr. J. W. M. Williams. Speaking of his tour in Ireland, he said to a reporter: "We went to Cork and visited the famous Blarney Castle. I was determined to kiss the Blarney stone. It is attached to the end of an iron rod extending some distance below the gallery. I had two stout fellows hold me by the heels and lower me downward to the stone. In that posture I found my nose very much in the way, but I finally succeeded in kissing it, and, on getting on my feet again, saluted a lady of our party, whom I had aright to kiss. It was then her turn to kiss the Blarney stone, but she would not comply witl the rule."

Curiosities on Cnffs.

Laundress in Cincinnati Enquirer.

"There are quite a number of pe* culiarities connected with cuffs. We have one customer, a clerk in the Third national bank, who is in the habit of figuring on his cufts. Sometimes he uses an analine pencil, and it takes a good deal of work to get the marks out. Then he has a habit of always turning his cuffs and marking^ up the other ends, so that by the time they reach the laundry they look more like two dirty telegrams than anything else. Quite a number of reporters have the same habit, and I found the text and the leading outlines of a minister's sermon upon a pair on Wednes day morning."

OBMJNAA or TBS CONTORTION—Oat of the abundance of my heart I thank you for the honor whieh your favor has conferred upon me. It builds up a man's political constitution to take a front 'view of the fighting strength olthe republiesn party ialowa. If any of yon have friands that are bothered with political dyspepsia who find trouble in aetooWng from the printed bills of fare of Bepubli•w® politics, I advise yoo to bring them here and let them look in the face of this magnificent assembly. Before me and aronad me I see many of the leaders of all the great Iowa «aTnpaijn«- Some of them enjoyed their first hand to hand contest with the democratic party before the youngaefc were bom. salute the veterans of the republican party of Iowa. We who are younger in the serrioe bow in bunlble gratitude before the leaders of politic* in a state that for twenty-five years has not needed a change bad enough to ask for it. The Democrats of lows are the farthest remored from office of any part of the human race except our Greenback fcreathren. In this fortunate state the Republican party, never without able leaders, hsa never suffered from any monarchy,, regency or other despotism whatsoever. Your conventions have alwaye been deliberative, your nominations representive, your campaigns popular and your bal-lot-boxes too full for utterance of straight Republican tickets. Consequently, a Demorcrat has not been seen on the streets of an IOwa city after 9 o'clook on election night for a quarter of a century. The music of the telelejrraph offioe .has been their annual elegy of grief. They look upon a bulletin-board as aa enemy of free government, and accept the first part of Franklin's maxim, "Early to bed," when the returns are doming in. It is understood that the .purpose this year is to combine theeapital of the Democratic party with what atoek in trade remains unsold of General

Weaver's political business. The plan has no terrors for the Bepublicans of Iewa. The time: has r-""* in this state whenc self-constituted little board of political trade—a mere bucketshop—oan get together in the Sixth district and cast lots for the people's offices like a court house ring stealing land at a tax sale. The Republican party enters this_ campaign against the field with the most confidant assurance of success. -The first act of the Democratic party is to file a schedule in bankruptcy, Already their property is out of their own name. Their rational utandard is in the hands of a whose name is not disclosed by the Democratic national record. Four years ago his name oould have prudently been uSed as an under which to travel incognito all over •the known world outside of Buffalo, To elect him preeident would be like lending money to a stranger on the train.

made not so much to repre

sent the party as to disguise it. In its long struggle for existence the men who have made the history of the party go to the wall. It is the only party that ever existed whose candi dates and platforms never throw any light whatever either on its management Or its faith. In fact, modern Democrats of the practical school have no creed, except the oath of office. All the important Democratic principles are unfit for use. They have been left out in the field just where they were used last, with not even a bunch of swamp grass thrown

them—in sun and rain, until rot and rust have done their fatal work. It is true they talk piously of the need of reform, and with an inexcusable libel accuse the integrity of the Republican civil service. They work their favorite classical allusion to the Augean stable fa all there is in it. These, they assert, must- be cleaned out. Yet, from the general appearance of the crowd that is on hand to do the business, the average citizen is likely to con elude that their intention is to steel the fork rather clean out the barn. It is true, they pre-empt all sides of the tariff question, They profees to settle that issue by a jargon of words without precedent in the annals of Conssnse and confusion. You might as well try to fit the hundred-headed dog of the an-

eisnt

fable with a straw bat as to place a oan did and intelligible tariff platform under the feet of the Democratic party. They approacl that question, and nearly every other, like a man emptying hard coal ashes in a high wind, with their eyes shut and their backs to the gnbjeet. What must be the thoughts of a man like Thomas A. Hendricks as he sits in his law office and looks at the top shelf of his library and counts thelong row of dusty Congressional globes from 1860 to 1880, from the fugitive slave law to the resumption of specie paymentsT Dean Bwift used to say, that censure is a tax a man pays to the publio for being eminent. It is not the fault of Mr. Hen&rioks that the Congressional Record connects him with all the blunders and treasons of recent politics. It is the tax a man pays to his generation for theluxury of having been an eminent Democrat.

Victor Hugo, somewhere in the masterpiece of prose fiction, relates a singular dream of Jean Valjean, in which the unfortunate man is carried back in his vision to the streets of his native village, and there in the midst of the gloom and ashee and dust of things is interviewed by a gentieman who solemnly aaks him: "Where are you going? Do yon not know you have been dead a long time?" I have sometimes thought that if Mr. Hendricks oould once get himself enlightened by an appropriate vision and wander back in his dreams to the fpmilUr

annnaa

oratic party. Mo though' that remembered. He is avowed purpose of reviving the superstition tw surrounds the electoral connt of 1877. With characteristic stupidity the Democratic managers still think that the American people have never slept well einee the celebrated question of mathematics was np for meat. They seem to be afflicted with a sort of intellectual shiftlessnees that keeps them from the understanding that the fraud issue diod at Cincinnati in 1880 by the hand of Thomts A.

The indictment of an alleged mo

mentous outrage cannot be dismissed for want of proeecution and the papers in the case left the dust of eight years without .losing interest to the traveling public. With due respect to Celonel Villas, of Wisconsin, I say the statute of limitations does run. The deof Cleopatra might as well bring suit against the estate of Mark Antony, aa for the Democratic managers to parade the venerable gentlemen who were caught between the wheels of the electoral commission. In truth, the American people remember the long years of political rapine that have given the south to the Democratic party, and finding in Mr. Tildan and Mr. Hendricks the immediate and responsibls bsoaficiaries of thoeeyeare ot felony the ballot-box in the south, have never, to any visible degree, bewailed their memorable failure to catch the rail of the hind car in 1877. For one I thank the Democratic party for the fraud issue miserable and useless in itself, it affords the country a proper oooaaion to recall that strange decade during which ruins of the famous conspiracy against the civil rights of the people, that in ten states has left the balletbox a fraud and the election day a farce. La the great French Liberal, BOW dead, just after the civil war in the United took occasion to say that "the Bepublioan party of America holds in its hands the future of civilisation." That was tree then. It is tree

It is more oertain that the Bepublioan aarty shall have a future than that it has had a listory. Now and then you find a Republican who enjoys the momentary importance that belongs to the kicker end the scratcber. The shoitast roadtooelebrity now-a-days is to ad~se your cooscienco in the newspapers. There are Bepublicans who treat their con-

science as if it were the stock in trade of a bak-ing-powder factory. They solemnly protest that everybody's conscience has alum it it except theirs. They adopt the doctrine of Matthew Arnold and insist that in order to be safe the nation must furnish the remnant with complimentary tickets and a front eeat. They would have the country govern itself by the advice of persons whose namee, if I may borrow a phrase Cram your good friend Governor Carpenter, are written in the herd book of high political grade*, Only last month a convention was held in aNew York parlor, in whieh the credentials called for by the oommittee a written pretence of holiness, and the only creed required of the membership was "I believe in the communion of the saints of Beacon WTIl and Franklin Square." Let them oommnne. I trust they will stick to* gather till they get thoroughly acquainted with each other. I have a curiosity to see the effect of a genuine Democratic candidate on an unusual sanctified nostril. This campaign it long enough to show to every sensible man's eyes, that no possible combination o) tight pants and hay few can defeat the anxious will or the real conscience of this country, the Republican millions of America. Bo not alarmed. The Democratic party must disappear before the question of reorganising the:

Republican party can arise. Until the last Bourbon caucus has adjourned without day, and the last Rourbon platform* taken its place amoog the curiosities- of literature, the Beremain whers the profit—the master ofthesitmade a new

ministration is as distinctly apart of history as the Babylonish captivity. Every footstep of the national progrees for thirty years has been dogged by Democratic barking and bitting at the heels. The tears of Democratic statesmen have fallen upon the tomba of every abomination that this generation has potswsy. The weighty organisation ot opinion, beginningthe grave of John Quincy and moving steadily forward with the divine hate of slavery in his heart, and the divine oath of loyalty upon his lips, until at last the nation was lifted out of political barbarism and joined in holy bonds unto liberty forever—that is the Bepublioan party. And if anybody supposes that the Democratic organization, or the reoognised exponents of, the Democratic faith bore any oredi table part the aohivements of this generation, he ought to cOnneot himself with a library association,

In the face of such a record the marvel is not that the Democratic party fails, but that it exists. The history of this generation of Democrats is an obituary notice, both of men and doctrines. Yet even here in Iowa, there are men who have got themselves galvanized into the belief that the time has come in the bourse of human events for the procession to turn out and let the corpse take the road. It is even hinted that this is the year few the young men of the country to cast their lot with the Democratic party. I venture to say that no young man*—no man not yet hardened •by the search for office—not yet fallen into that most humiliating of all paganisms, the idolatry of bummer-worship—rnot yet lost to a fair prospect and an honest stake in society—can look withont shame on the' only vital thing left in the Democracy of Iowa. Every school house in Iowa "opens into the Republican party. A young man can not get into the National Democratic party without leaving his history of the United States on the outside. In the dark ages the- had a custom of disposing of obnoxious doctrines by burning up ths books that contained them. They answered a man's book with kindling wood. If Qiia were a dark age you would see the Democratic managers out with sn oil can picking up copies of the History of the United Statee in the interest of reform and free trade. The younftmen of the country are faithful to the Bepublioan party,- not only because of the service of the party and the age, but because the Standard of the party is to-day in the hands of a man who bears the grandest'brain ever covered by an American hat, and the best heart ever wrapped up in an American veet. The people of country like brains—nervous matter under the roots of the hair. In James G. Blaine they find a man the scope of whose faculties is a perfect horison—a man who knows the size of this nation—a man who knows the history of this nation—a man who knows the strength of this nation—a man who knows the rights of this nation—a man who comprehends with a serene faith the mission of the republic and its sublime destiny in the midst of the nations and the ages. Not in vain tuis this great state, correot in its opinion, upright in its consoienoe, laid at the feet of Blaine the royal tribute of its affection. He Stands to-day at the very opening of the campaign, at once a standard bearer and a vicior. Mr. Cleveland, as his letter informs us, believes in Providence, and has the grace to say in closing, that in his opinion, "the Supreme

conscientious discharge of publio Iowa believed that before Mr. Cleveever thought of suoh a thing. God's vidence, yon may be oertain, never identified the names of Blaine and Logan in eternal reputation with jthe most splendid pages of Amerioan history—the one as a statesman, the other as a soldier, only to see them defeated by a person who at tiie age of thirty-foar deserted a learned profession to become the hangman of aback county in New York. I beg your pardon, gentlemen. I have squandered your time without knowing it. The work of this convention is simple and easy. No man,.wko knows the record of Republican conventions in Iowa, doubts that it will be rapidly and wisely done. Thanking you again for the embarassing distinction you have given me, I sit down, the obedient servant of the convention's pleasure.

Bebuked are envy's evil labors By the prompt verdict of his neighbors, Which weighs more with a justice lover Than Beecher's bill of health to Grover —r^J^. The people's voice—the oertain sign Of victory—all along the line.

Gath: Nearly all the effective work ing and writing men in the renegade Republican press here are for Mr. Blaine. Their spoiled and subsidized Blasters cannot even deliver their own staffs to the hangman.

New York Sun: A pamphlet enti tied "The Political Reformation of 1884," which is intended for use as a campaign text book, has been published by toe national Democratic committee. It is judiciously edited. It contains Thomas Jefferson's inaugural address, Samuel J. Tilden's farewell letter and the Mulligan letters. Only three of its three hundred pages are devoted to the life of Grover Cleveland.

Indianapolis Journal: In 1872 the Democratic state central committee circulated a document to show that Thomas A. Hendricks was a better temperance man than Thomas A. Browne, and would do as the temper* ance people desired—approve the Baxter law. It was that pledge that elected this remarkably "popular" Democrat the oialy time he was ever elected to that office by the people, though he has been a candidate three times,

Chicago Inter-Ocean: The postmaster at Athens, Qa., is a colored man by the name of Madison Davis. He was once tbe slave of the Hon, B. H. Hill. "Some time ago," says an Auusta dispatch to the Courier-Journal, the Hon. Emory Speer addressed Davie a letter aa 'My dear Matt."' This letter fell into the hands of Democrats "and defeated any political aspirations of the popular young politician." Democrats could not quite allow a man with a white skin to say "My dear Matt" to a nigger, no matter how intelligent, honest or capable.

THE M'SWKENEY CASE.

Mr. John Flnerty, the Irish M. C„ GlVM the Facta as They Were. Chicago Citizen.

Daniel McSweeney was at one time a resident of California, and no doubt became a citizen of the United States. In 1876 he returned to his native place in Ireland, near Cardonagh, Donegal. He took up a residence there, occupied a farm and tilled it, and after a few years was elected a poor law guardian for his district ef the Dunfanaghy union. In 1879,1880 and 1881 he took a very prominent part in the Landleague movement. His American experiences made him the

moBt

aggres

sive Land-leaguer, perhaps, in all DonHe was suspected by "BuckShot" Forster, was arrested under the coercion act in July, 1881, and claimed •American citizenship. This, it will be remembered, was after Garfleid had been shot and while he was lying on abed of pain. About a month after he was arrested McSweeney wrote to Mr. Lowell, who is a slow-going person, and particularly slow when the cases of Irish-American citizens are concerned, communicated, with Mr. Sims, the American consul at Helfast, and requested him to investigate the McSweeney case. Mr. Sims did as requested, and reported that McSweeney, though at the time an American citizen, had apprrently returned to his former allegiance, inasmuch as he had accepted office in

Ireland—an office created by the British government, contrary to the protest of the Irish people—and had taken up his domicile permanently under tne British crown,thereby forfeiting his claims to American citizenship. Mr. 8ims advised Mr. Lowell that Mr. McSweeney's case was not one for the interference of the American government. While this correspondence was going on, Mr. McSweeney became impatient and wrote to Mr. Blaine, then secretary of state. Mrs. McSweeney also wrote. Mr. Blaine, of course, referred their letters to Mr. Lowell, who communicated back to Mr. Blaine the result of his investigations. Mr. Blaine advised a further scrutiny, because of the appeal made by Mrs. McSweeney.

Before the reply to the American minister at London was received Garfield had died, and Frelinghuysen had Mr. Blaine's place. The action of Mr. Blaine, however, had been productive of good, and ih a few months after Mr. McSweeney was released. These are the facts as far as his case is canC6ro©d

Mr. McSweeney, to be sure, complains that Mr. Blaine did not answer his or his wife's letters. This is foolish. If the secretary of state replied to every complaint made there would be •no surplus in the treasury—-that is certain. Mr. Blaine did what was meet and proper under the circumstance. He referred the case to Mr, Lowell, the American minister to Great Britain. Mr. Lowell acted, though tardily, on Mr. Blaine's instructions.

Now it must be remembered in this connection that Mr. McSweeney had acted as a British subject in Ireland by holding office. He has held the-same office ever since. He is now a pMrlaw. Dom months ago British court at Londonderry, Ireland, at the suit of an officer of the union. He is also a candidate for parliament. If elected he would have to take an oath of allegiance to Queen Victoria, though when he became an American citizen he foreswore allegiance to that personage. ,.

What would American citizens think of a man, an Irishman, or an Englishman, or a Scotchman, for instance, who, after accepting the office of alderman, county commissioner, or supervisor, should, when arrested under American law, claim Britishprotection? McSweeney, the Donegal poor-law guardian, claiming American protection is a parallel case, is it not?
