A correspondent of an exchange asks: “What is good for cholera?’’ It is believed that sliced cucumbers, immature or over mature fruits, mixed with a good deal of ice water and whisky, are about the best and most accessible things for oholera, but we would not like to recommend them for the patients, Sciencb is inexorable. The “bloodstained hatchet ” which was to convict Lizzie Borden of having murdered her father and stepmother has been examined by a microscopist, who finds that the red spots are not blood at all, and that the hair found is not human. He also iyids no blood upon Lizzie Borden’s clothing, and no trace of poison in the stomachs of the dead people, and so disposes of another police “ theory ” which many people in Fail River were strongly inclined to accept as the equivalent of a proved fact. What evidence there may be against Lizzie Borden it is impossible as yet to say, but the evidence on which her neighbors and the police were so ready to believe her guilty seems to have been no evidence at all. For the first time in political history electricity will play quite a prominent part in the Presidential campaign this fall. Orders aggregating several thousand dollars have already been given for electrical torchers, lanters and helmets, and electrical supply houses throughout the country are repeiving inquiries as to the cost of these new alfis ■- dazzling display and parades every day. The old foul - smelling and decidedly dangerous torch will be in a great measure supplanted by an electrical torch which will give out ten-fold as much light without a particle of either danger or smell, and enthusiasts will parade in large numbers with helmets brilliantly illuminated by aid of storage batteries and concealed wires. In this one respect at least the campaign will be an improvement on its predecessors. If Friday be an unlucky day this country has very little to hope forColumbus sailed from Palos on Friday, first saw this country on Friday, and reached Palos again on Friday.

TOPICS OF THESE TIMES. M’KINLEY'S BILL VINDICATED. 1 tm Benefits to Working People Even Greater Thau the Author Dreamed Of. Albany, N. Y., Aug. 28.— Charles F. Peck, Commissioner of Labor for New York State, issued his annual report to-night. A large portion is devoted to figures of interest in relation to the tariff. In order to prove whether “ protection ” as advocated by one political party, or “tariff for revenue only” would Erove of advantage, statistics have een gathered to show in every industry in the State the increase or decrease of production and comparative increase or decrease in wages. The period covered by the investigation includes the year immediately prior to the enactment of what is termed the “McKinley bill” and the year immediately following its becoming law. That is, the data upon which the report has been made was for the year commencing Sept. 1, 1889, up to and including the 31st of August, 1890, and the year commencing Sept. 1, 1889, up to and including the 31st of August, 1891. The methods employed to secure the necessary data were almost entirely those of the blank system. It was not the original purpose, nor is it now pretended that thedataand statistics presented present any but purely wholesale manufacturing establishments. To have undertaken to cover the retail and custom manufacturing establishments of the State would have been a physical and financial impossibility. Some 8,000 blanks were addressed and mailed to as many separate establishments throughout the State, and of this number 6,000, or 75 per cent., were returned fuliy and correctly answered. From the tables it appears that there was a net increase in wages of $6,787,297.08 in 1891 as compared with the amount paid in 1890, and a net increase of production of $31,315,130.69 in the year 1891 over 1890. A simply analysis of this table further demonstrates the fact that of the sixty-five industries covered 77 per cent, of them show an increase in either wages or product, or both, and that there were no less than 87,897 instances of individual increase of wages during the same year. While the industries are but 67 in number the total trades represented amount to 1,121, and give employratat to 285,000 workingmen and workingwomen. Of the 67 industries included 75 per cent, of them show an increased average of earnings in 1891, while the total average increase of yearly earnings of the 285,000 employes was $23.11. The average increase of yearly earnings of the employes in the 51 trades showing an increase was $42.96 in 1891, as compared with 1890. In addition to the investigation of this special subject the bureau has continued its annual investigation of all labor disturbances occurring in the State during the past year. The total number of strikes repoi'ted for 1891 was 4,519, as against 6,258 occurring in 1890, a decrease of 1,739. Of the total number in 1891, 2,370, or 50 per cent, of them, were in the building trades. ANOTHER RESULT OF THE M'KINLEY LAW. London, Aug. 28. —Several Welsh tin plate manufacturers closed their works on Saturday. Sixty works are now closed and 10,000 men are idle. Many sailed on Saturday to find employment in America. POINTS OF CONTRAST, Indianapolis Journal. Persons in search of political truth and light may be interested in the following points of contrast in the platforms of the two great political parties. The Republican platform says: “We reaffirm the American doctrine of protection. We call attention to its growth abroad. We maintain that the prosperous condition of our country is largely due to the wise revenue legislation of the Republican Congress. We believe that all articles which cannot be produced in the United States, except luxuries, should be produced free of duty, and that on all imports coming in competition with the products of American labor there should be levied duties equal Jto the difference between wages abroad and at home.” This is a reaffirmation of the doctrine of protection for American industries under which' the country has made such wonderful progress during the last twenty five years. It asserts the right and duty of every j country to legislate for its own interests, without regard to the interests of other countries. The Democratic platform says; “We denounce protection as a ■ fraud on the labor of the great majority of the American people for the benefit of the few. We declare it to be a fundamental principle of the Democratic party that the federal Government has no constitutional power to impose and collect tariff dui Lies except for the purpose of reve-

nue only, and we demand that the collection of such taxes shall be limited to the necessities of the Government when honestly and economically administered." This denies the right of Congress to legislate for the protection of American industries or interests in any manner, or to any extent whatever. The practical result of the enforcement of this doctrine would be a complete surrender of the American market in many lines of manufactures to foreign producers, and a large reduction in American wages. The Republican platform says; “We point to the success of the Republican policy of reciprocity, under which our export trade has vastly increased and new and enlarged markets have been opened for the products of our farms and workshops.” The policy of reciprocity has already resulted in a great increase of our trade with those countries to which it has been applied, and its benefits have but just begun to be realized. The Democratic platform denounces this beneficial policy as a “sham reciprocity." This “sham reciprocity,” says Mr. Reid, “has been in effect but a short time —with some of the more important countries only four months or less down to the fiscal year on June 30; in most of them less than a'year- —but the increase in our exports to those countries in the articles affected by agreements, down to June 30, was over $10,115,000. In some of the countries the increase was over 500 per cent., and the articles affected were largely agricultural—corn, wheat, flour, pork, butter, etc. In other countries the increase extended also to our cotton, iron and wooden manufacturers. Would it be wise to throw away a policy that in the first few months brings such results because the Democratic party chooses to call it a sham?” The Republican platform says: “The interests of the producers of the country, its farmers and its workingmen, demand that every dollar, paper or coin, issued by the government shall be as good as any other.” This is a declaration in favor of honest money and a national banking system which furnishes a currency absolutely safe and of uniform value in all parts of the country. The Democratic platform says; “We recommend that the prohibitory ten per cent, tax on State bank issues be repealed." This would be an invitation for the re-establishment of the old system of wild cat banks, when every State had a different system, and when every person had to consult a “ bank note reporter” before he dared to take a note of any bank or denomination. In those days of “yellow dog” and “blue pup” currency a man who went to bed at night with his pockets full of paper money lometiraes found it terribly shrunken by morning. Nowadays a national bank note Issued in one State is good in every other, and the holder of a national bank note can never lose a dollar, even if the bank fails, for the law provides for the redemption of the notes. Nobody ever heard of any person ever losing a cent by the depreciation of a national bank note. The Democratic platform, in effect, demands the abolition of our present banking system, and the substitution of thirty or forty different State bank systems, with as many different kinds of currency. The Republican platform says : “We favor the extension of our foreign commerce, the restoration of odr mercantile marine by home built ships, and the creation of a navy for the protection of our national interests and the honor of our flag ; the maintenance of the most friendly relations with all foreign powers ; entangling alliances with none, and the protection of the rights of our fishermen. ” This favors a truly American policy, which would assert our rights at all times aud in all places, and make the American flag respected in all quarters of the globe. Such a policy appeals to the patriotism of every true American. The Democratic platform says; “We view with alarm the tendency to a policy of irritation and bluster, which is liable at any time to confront us with the alternative of humiliation or war." This is a cowardly, cringing declaration, The firm assertion and maintenance of American rights is designated as “a policy of irritation and bluster, which is liable at any time to confront us with the alternative of humiliation or war.” The way to make the American flag respected is by a firm assertion of American rights, and if it becomes necessary to confront the possibility of war it should be done without hesitation. A nation that does not respect itself sufficiently to assert its rights can not expect to be respected by other nations. BRAZILIAN MARKETS. New York Press.

A DEMOCRATIC VETERAN’S FIGURES. “This,” said Chairman Gowdy, handing the Journal reporter two type-written sheets, “was given me by a Democratic soldier who has been searching the records to see if the Democratic claims that Democratic Congressmen are true friends of the veteran. This Democrat,” continued the Chairman, “told me he was using the sheets to convince other Democratic veterans that they should not vote the Cleveland ticket.

R In 1891, under Republican reciprocity, during the correspond0 ing period, our exports of such articles to that country amounted C in value to $118,073.. This increase of $31,152, or 1 3.55 per cent., was caused by Republican reciprocity. T Y -=■■■;-’■■ “The pirates have captured the Democratic ship, ’’ says the Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier, referring to the Tillman-Alliance party. In Kansas, however, a portion of the Democratic party has joined the socalled pirates. The Democracy as a whole is a queer thing. Reports from all parts of the country where votes are counted as cast indicate that protection Democrats are accepting the invitation of Henry Watterson to get out of the free trade church, in which their room is better than their company. They are leaving behind them a large number of empty seats in the back benches of the Democratic meeting house. THINGS WORTH KNOWING.
