The honest confession of Henry Watterson in the Forum is ^ood for his soul if not for his party: "I should be entitled to no respect or credit If I pretended that there Is either a fair vote or eount of the vast overllowof black voters In states where there Is a negro majority, or that, In the nature of things at present, there can he. There was not when the ballot-box was guarded by federal bayonets. There Is not now."

In (Jermnny, so lotif* n^o as the Mth of May. ISS'2, Bismarck, in a speech before the Herman reiahstng, paid to the Republican tarilT high eulogy. He said:

The success of the I'nited States In material development Is the most Illustrious of modern time. The American nation has not only successfully home and suppressed the most, gigantic and expensive war oT all history, but Immediately afterward disbanded Its army, found employment lor all Its soldiers and marines, paid otT most of Its debt, given labor and homes to all the unemployed of Europe as fast as they could arrive within Its territory, and still by a system of taxation so Indirect: lis not to be perceived, much less felt. Because It Is my deliberate judgment that the prosperity ot America Is mainly due to Its system of protective laws, 1 urge that Germany has now reached that point where It Is necessary to Imitate the tarltf system of the t'ntted Suites.

Republican victory, the prospects of which trow brighter every day, can be Imperiled only by lack or unity In council or by acrimonious contest over men. The Issue of protection Is incalculably stronger and g-eater than any man, for It concerns the prosperity of the present and generations yet to come. Were it possible for every voter of the Republic to see Tor himself the condition and rtvompense of labor In Europe, the party of tree trade In the I'nited States would not receive the support of one wage-worker between the two ocean.-., it may not be directly In our power as philanthropists to elevate the European laborer, but It will be a lasting stigma upon our statesmanship If we permit the American laborer to be forced down to the European level. And in the end the rewards of labor everywhere will be advanced If we steadily refuse to lower the standard at home.

Yours with sincerity, •TAMKS G. BI.AINK.

We are uncompromisingly In favor of the American system of protection we protest against Its destruction us proposed by the president and Ills party. They serve the Interests of Europe we will support the Interests of America. We accept the Issue and contldently appeal to the people for their Judgment. The protective system must be maintained. Its abandonment has always been followed by general disaster to all Interests except those of the usurer and sherllf. We denounce the Mills bill as destructive to the general business, the labor and the farming interests of the country, and we heartily endorse the consistent and patriotic action of the Republican representatives In congress In opposing Its lassage. We condemn the proposition of the

Democratic party to place wool on the free list and we insU.t that that the duties thereon shall be adjusted and maintained so as to furnish full and adequate protection to that Industry. The

Republican party would effect such needed reduction of the national revenue by repealing the

taxes

upon tobacco, which are an annoyance and burden to agriculture, and the tax upon spirits used In the arts and for mechanical purposes, and by such revision of the tariff laws as will tend to check Imports of snch articles as are produced by our people, the production of which gives employment to our labor, and release from Import duties those articles of foreign production (except luxuries) the like of which can not be produced at home. If there shall remain a larger revenue than is requisite for the wants of the government, we favor the entire repeal of Internal taxes rather than the surrender of any part of our protective system, at the Joint behest of the whisky trusts and the agents of foreign manufacturers.—[National Republican platform.

KiiRllsh Interest in the Result. The electioneering campaign In America ought to be most interesting to the English people for historical, political, philosophical and economic reasons. The main question at issue Is English free trade against the continental system of protection. The Republic is on trial. Good, conservative government, under Cleveland, Is opposed by the rule and ruin party of Blaine, whose friends nominated Harrison, and who would certainly be the secretary of state under a Harrison administration. Thus the American people are directly Involved In the contest through their pockets, which will be affected by the tariff, and their future, which would be seriously Influenced by the restoration to power of such a fire-brand as Blaine, with his home-rule sympathies and antlCanadlau policy. The American electlou Is Infinitely more Important to Englishmen than their own Internal politics just at this juncture, and they should observe every ph ise of the campaign closely and understanding! It Is from this point of view that the copious dispatches to the Sunda Times are cabled. The result of the American election will help to decide many Important Issues in Great BrltaIu.-[London Sunday Times, .Inly 15,1888.

Every one in this part of the state likes CofFey.

It will be a great Chase to catch .up with him on the stump.

On second consideration we don't be lieve there are seventy-five members of that Democratic Railroad Men's club.

It is the same General Hovey who a few days ago 60 mercilessly scored Matthe son for his neglect of the interests of soldiers.

While General Hovey is at his post of duty doing what he can for the soldiers, Matson is at Long Branch with a select coterie of lobbyists and highflyers.

With Harrison, Hovey, Chase, Lemcke and a few other soldiers on the ticket Indiana Republicans show that they have not forgotten the war and its heroes.

A syndicate of Democrats has bought the Freeman's Journal, a Catholic weekly published in New York and it is to be made a catspaw for Cleveland. The new editor says "The paper will lean toward free trade in its tariff discussions."

The Voorhees speech is a boomerang. Indeed the senator has such a varied record that when he "hurls" a charge against a Republican candidate or the Republican party it is always found that he himself has supported or voted for the very proposition he assails.

Mr. Voorhees Saturday night savagely assailed General Harrison as one who wanted to "sprinkle the streets of Indianapolis" with the blood of railroad men. Monday more names were addedJ,o the Republican Railroad Men's club here including those of several Democrats. Let 'er go Voorhees.

They had an election in Alabama on Monday and it was all one way—Democratic. The census shows that the population is about equally divided in that state. The vote cast was not nearly so large its the white population. Now, is it reasonable that the election was a fair expression of the will of the people? Granted that no "niggers" were killed, Btill isn't the very result proof that violence or some undue means has secured this result?

THE STATE CONVENTION.

The work done at Indianapolis yesterday i8sure to be hailed with great joy by the Republican party in the state. The platform and the candidates fully meet the wishes of the great majoritj of the party. Considering the fact that there had been some confusion owing to the extreme zeal of the party to do the best thing possible in the selection of a candidate for governor, the result is the happiest possible one. General Hovey is the ideal Republican candidate because he was a soldier from among the people and is a statesman.

The platform is plainly drawn. It leaves nothing in doubt and can be courageously advocated by all true Republicans.

Indiana Republicans are now fully oquipped for the contest. From this time on they are a persistent, intelligent and hopeful army, lighting for a good cause under unexcelled leaders.

TKKRK HAUTK, August H.

A. MOGUIKK.

MR. AND MRS. BOWSER.

There is no question but that Mr. Bewser is a good man at heart, but he has his peculiarities. Like all other husbands, he is a bit selfish and inconsistent. When he came home one day last week and found me sick abed with a snapping headache, he appeared both surprised and indignant. "What! you sick!" he shouted, just as if the female sex were made of cast iron. "I—I've got a headache, Mr. Bowser." "Oh, you have! In order to upset the house, you have a headache. Very kind of you. I was going over to Green's to-night to have a game of cards, but this headache comes just in time." "Can I help it?" "Of course you can! Take proper care of yourself and you'll never have a headache. Look at me, Mrs. Bowser!" "You may have one some day." "Yes, I may. Some day I may lill my stomach with candy, lemonade, green apples, raw turnip, ginger ale, caramels, and watermelon, and next day I shall probably have a headache. It's a wonder that any of you women live to be 30 years old."

He went banging around the house without a thought of me, and after supder he came up stairs to say: "Being as you have deliberately gone to work to bring a headache upon yourself, and being as you had rather be quiet this evening, I think I'll run down and fix up that matter with Davis." "I have an awful headache." "Certainly but am I to blame? Did I advise you to eat turnips and caramels?" "It will be lonesome for me." "Bosh! Here's the baby and hired girl. Mrs. Bowser, you are getting to be a very silly, selfish woman. I wish you would hnve a little more dignity."

He went away, whistling as he clattered down the front steps, and I was abed and asleep when he came home. Morning brought me a clear, cool head, and Mr. Bowser took occasion to remark: "Don't make an idiot of yourself again. A woman of your age ought to have some sense. Suppose I had hung over you and shed tears and pitied you last night! That headache would probably have terminated in a fever."

I think providence has an eye on some husbands. I verily believe that providence picked up Mr. Bowser's trail as soon as he left the house and began to plan for revenge. He seemed a little "off" when he came up to dinner, and half an hour before his regular time for supper he came home with his lip hanging down. "Well, what is it?" I queried. "This change of weather has affected me." "No! Has there been a change? Is it serious, Mr. Bowser?" "An awful, awful headache." "Is that all? You startled me for a moment. A headache, eh? Well, you shouldn't be so careless." "Who's been careless?" he shouted putting up his hand at the same time to see if the top of his head was really loose. "I'm afraid you have. Soda water, mint julips, strong cigars, lager beer, and loss of sleep last night have upset you. A man of your age ought to know better. Do you think your stomach is a dump-ing-scow, Mr. Bowser?"

He staggered over and fell upon the lounge with a groan. I picked up baby and galloped twice around the sittingroom, singing and laughing, when Mr. Bowser rose up and yelled: "Great cats! but you are insane? Didn't I say I had an awful headache?" "Yes but you mustn't upset the whole house on that account. Mrs. Jackson was over to invite us to come in this evening and play whist, and I told her we'd come." "WhiBt! Mrs. Bowser, do you know that I am awful sick?.' "Bosh! Only a headache! Look at me, Mr. Bowser!" lie groaned. "It's a wonder that any of you men live to be 30 years old. I'd like to see a man—just one single specimen—who knew how to take care of himself." "Won't you—you get a wet cloth and put on my head?" he entreated. "Yes, I suppose I'll have to, but don't let this happen again, Mr. Bowser. You must have known when you were filling your stomach with that trash what the result would be."

He thought I was done with him when I tied a towel around his head, but I wasn't. "Being as you have maliciously and willfully gone to work to bring on this headache, which doesn't amount to shucks, and being the best remedy for headache is quietness, I think I'll take baby and spend the evening at mother's." "Great guns! but you wouldn't do that?" he gasped. "Mr. Bowser, don't be so soft! You will be all right in the morning." "But don't go! I may want a doctor. I don't know but I'm dying now."

I had him cadly scared, »nd so decided to stay, but 1 wasn't through with him yet. I went to the telephone and rang up, and the following conversation took place: "Is this Dr. Beeswax?" (Yes.) "Well, doctor, Mr. Bowser is very bad off. Can you come up?" (Not before midnight.) "Then I'll try to save him that long. Mustard? All right, doctor. Onions? Yes, we have some. All right, 111 do so. Good-by."

I made a strong mustard plaster and clapped it to the back of his neck, and then I got a big onion and told him to hold it to his nose. Then I played a quickstep on the piano, encouraged baby to pound on a tin basin, and told the "hired girl to leave the kitchen door open and rattle the stove every three minutes. Mr. Bowser stood it for a while and then plaintively asked: "Mrs. Bowser, do you want to kill me?" "Why, no." v'You seem to be trying to. Perhaps you will be happier when I am under the sod." "I might, but it isn't likely you will die this time. You are getting to be a great booby, Mr. Bowser." "Booby! Can I stand everything?" "But this is only a headache." "Only! Only a

He sank back and gave up. He even shod a tear or two. I got consciencestricken then and put on more wet towels and more mustard, and did not go to bed until midnight. When I awoke Mr. Bowser stood before the glass investigating the work of the mustard. The whole back of his head and both ears were blistered. "Mrs. Bowser," he said, as he saw that I was awake, "let this be a great example for vou." "How?" "How? Wasn't I within an ace of death's door? Didn't I put will power

"Mrs. Bowser, don't talk that way to me! No doubt you hoped I would die, but providence cares for some people. I did not die. I stand here a living proof of the power of mind over muscle. I'll forgive you this time, but don't do it again. Don't push me to the wall!"— [Free Press.

ANOTHER HORROR.

A New York Tenement House linrns and With it Four People. NEW YORK, August 8.—At 4:10 o'clock this morning the four story tenement house, at 1020 Avenue A, caught fire. The family of Gustav Berg, who lived on the top floor, were burned to death. They were Gustav Berg, 40 years his wife, aged 36 his mother-in-law, and his 12-year-old daughter Libbie. The other occupants of the building were Peter Block, John Rupin, Samuel Stern, Thomas Fitzgerald and Oliver Lichter. All their furniture was burned, but they escaped.

It was not until all the people living in the house, except the Berg family, had gotten safely out that the engine arrived. A second alarm was now sent out, although at this time it was believed that all had escaped from the building. After the flames were all out, somebody remembered that in looking at the burning building from the opposite side of the street he had seen the face and form of a woman at one of the front windows on the top floor, and that she had suddenly disappeared with a despairing gesture. A detachment of firemen at once made their way to the top story, and there saw a sight which proved the truth of the man's story. On the front floor, within a few feet of the window, lay Mr. Berg on his face, dead from suffocation and burns. In another room, Bitting upright in a chair, was the burned body of Mrs. Laura Berg. Upon a bed in another room lay the daughter, Lizzie, and the grandmother. The child had died from suffocation, while the grandmother's dead body was horribly burned. The origin of the fire is unknown.

Prohibiting Chinese Immigration. WASHINGTON, August 8.—In the senate to-day, Mr. Sewart moved the regular business (bills on the calendar) be laid aside and the Chinese prohibition bill be taken up. Agreed to—yeas 40, nays 3 (Senators Berry, Coke and Jones of Arkansas). The bill was then passed without division. The bill provides that from and after the date of the exchange of ratifications of the pending treaty between the United States of America and his imperial majesty, the emperor of China, signed on the 12th day of March, 1888, it shall be unlawful for any Chinese person, whether a subject of China or of any other power, to enter the United States, except as in this bill provided.

WAGES HERE AND THERE.

A Claimed Democratic Recruit Tells Why He Is For Protection. Many years ago Mr. William Broadhead established at Jamestown, N. Y., near the beautiful Lake Chautauqua, the first alpaca mills in the United States. Recently the Democratic papers have been announcing that Mr. Broad head had become a free-trader because the free wool of the Mills bill would benefit him. Mr. Broadhead has written a letter denying this, and it will be seen he takes a broader view of the matter than simply free wool. He believes in good wages for his employes- instead of the low wages in free trade England. The following extract from his letter is worth reading by all who are interested in the subject of wages: "Such statements and reports (that I have become a free trader in belief) are alsolutely false. While traveling through the most of Europe, as I did one year ago, visiting many manufactories in most of the principal cities, and viewing the agricultural interests in many localities there, I was more firmly convinced of the wisdom of our American system of protection. I visited the village in which I was raised and there I found men laboring for from ten to twelve English shillings per week, which in our money, would amount to §2.50 and 83. For this same labor I was then and am now paying 82.25 per day. I found men there doing for from four to five English shillings per day, which was less than one-half what we were and are now paying for precisely the same work. Many laboring men in England came to me while there, and wanted I should hire them and bring them to this country. All the reply 1 could make to this was that if they came to America I would endeavor to give or find them employment. The reply was invariably that they were working for from 10 to 12 shillings per week, all of which was necesssarily consumed in bare living expenses, and that it was impossible for thern to accumulate enough to pay their transportation to this country. I came to this country a wage-earner myself. I have watched with interest its material growth and prosperity under a high protective tariff. Under this system I have seen it to grow to be the richest and most powerful nation on the globe. No, I am not in favor of free trade, neither am I in favor of tariff for revenue only. I am a stronger protectionist than ever. I am entirely in sympathy with the platform adopted by the Republican party at the Chicago convention. I admire the ticket our chosen delegates have placed in nomination, and shall do what I can honorably to secure its election in November next."

THE FEDERATION MEETING.

Agitators Who Have Sold Out to the Democracy Go Too Far. The called meeting of the State Federation of Trades Unions on Tuesday, at Indianapolis, was a great fraud. The little coterie at Indianapolis carried things with a high hand and overdid the thing. The purpose was to denounce Harrison and the Indianapolis Journal, the latter as a "rat" office, and this was done by excluding all delegates except those who were in the movement. Among those barred were E. J. Ileaton, president of the Typographical union, Terre Haute William Michels, Fort Wayne Henry McLean, Terre Haute R. A. Penna, Carbon, president of the State Miners' association J. V. Mattox, Brazil, C. A. Bookwalter, of the Fort Wayne Typographical union Past Master Workman Feldis, of Laporte, and others. These asserted that they held properly accredited credentials.

So forcibly did the excluded delegates feel the injustice which they claimed to have been put upon them that a consultation was held last night, and it was resolved to appeal at once to their respective organizations. It will also be taken up at the meeting of the State miners, to be held here the latter part! of this month.

The net result of the scheme will be a most deserved rebuke to the three or four agitators at Indianapolis who have labored not in the past dozen years except with their jaws.

One gentleman who attended the convention said that from the very start the purpose of the whole scheme was evident, no attempt being made to conceal it and anyone who in anyway opposed the effort was ruled out. As an illustration lie gave several incidents in the proceedings. One delegate was asked what county he hailed from, and on replying, was ruled out of the convention because he came from an overwhelmingly strong Republican district. Two gentlemen rose and opposed the methods in force, asserting them to be unparalleled in the history of labor organizations. Their reward was expulsion from the convention. Everyone whose sympathies were not known to be with the Democratic party was ruled out, and whre there was any doubt the applicant was declared ineligible to prevent mis take. Only one of a large number of Terre Haute men succeeded in getting in, and to say the others are indignant will not express their feelings. The Vandalia shops were well represented by delegates, but by the political pros titution of the convention were barred out with all the others. Captain Allen and others are justified in feeling outraged.

ROBERT GARRETT BECOMES VIOLENT.

He Imagines Tie is About to be Mordered and Tries to I.eap Outof the Window. NEW YORK, August 8.—Saturday night, it is said Robert Garrett became so violent that the whole floor on which his rooms are were aroused. About 11 o'clock that night he jumped out of bed and attempted to leap from the window, but was restrained by his two attendants. He endeavored to shake them off, and almost succeeded until the two men were reinforced by two hotel servants. Between them the men forced him back on the bed and held there, notwithstanding his cries. He seemed to think that he was about to be murdered, and shrieked, "Help! help!" at the top of his voice. Two passers-by heard the cries outside of the hotel, and, thinking something was wrong, rushed into the hotel. Since that time the patient has been comparatively quiet.

Fair Notes.

The fair is growing, for applications are made daily for space and stalls. Every mail brings applications for premium lists and rates from a distance, indicating that the out-of-town exhibitors will be more numerous than usual. It is settled that the heard of black Angus polled cattle and the West Highland cow, from Beloit, Kan., will exhibit here. The week following they will be shown at Buffalo, N. Y. An interesting feature will be the exhibition of quite a menagerie of animals, trained by Mr. John Bodewin, who has remarkable aptitude for training.animals.

The society is advertising extensively outside of town, 8,000 bills will be distributed on the T. H. & P. railroad alone. All the railroads will make a one fare round trip rate, instead of the usual one and one-third rate.

Sheridan's Writings.

The autobiography of -General Sheridan, it is expected, will be published by the last of this month. His last hours were devoted to it, he having read the proof of certain chapters two days before his death.

The doctors are now telling why General Sheridan died. It would have been quite as well had they told the whole truth about his illness before his death. We trust that it is no violation of the medical code of ethics to make this suggestion.

A Liquor T.nw Sustained.

ST. JOHN, N. B., August 8.—The court yesterday affirmed the validity of the Scott act in Portland. The judgment has fallen like a funeral pall upon the liquor dealers of that city. The act was adopted in 1886, but has never been enforced, owing to doubts of its validity.
