THE DAILY NEWS

TUESDAY, OCTOBER , 1684

It Is not presumptuous to hope that the fervency of summer is spent, and that with these October rains some < 'ctober weather will begin. Now since President Theodore Woolsey who at first was quoted with much unction as being opposed to Blaine, has written a letter approving of him, the Independent anti Blaine press with one accord, agree tha' hla faculties are not In their full vigor or In other words that the venerable gentleman Is a babbling dotard. May a kind providence, defend the American people from such another cam pafgn as this!

The Boston Herald echoes a sentiment which we gave utterance to the other day, thus: Mr. Blaine deserves credit for saying a true word for President Hayes and his administration. Tho condition of the country and the tone of public life at Washington greatly Improved during his term. Four years ago all the republican orators were boasting of this, and urging the people to “let well enough alone.’’ Now none of them, except Mr. Blalcc, have had the decency to be just to the man whom they thrust Into the presidential chair, and who regained the confidence of the country for their party. If retribution meets parties as well as men the republican party will have to smart for Its treatment of Hayes. Just as the Herald says, four years ago (when he was still president) he was treated with all respect, but now, like the sick Hon, there Is never a jackass that can not filng his heels In hls face. It is clearly Illegal, in consonance with the terms of the street railway company’s charter, for It to permit smoking In the street cars. An ordinance in council to put an end to It has been “referred to a committee.’’ That this committee should hesitate or refuse to report It for adoption will be Inexplicable upon any fair grounds. The present condition of things Is disgusting and outrageous. We do not believe Col. Johnson would like to sit, or have the members of hls family sit, next to a “hog” In a street car, who would fill eyes and nose and throat full of foul, smoky exhalations. That Is what people have to submit to who are compelled to ride and are not rich enough to own a conveyance of their own. Let the city council order that there shad be no enaoKIng, and this law is then as binding on passengers as on street car drivers, and can be easily enforced. Tub tariff must be a queer thing if Mr. Blaine’s statement concerning it In hls Grafton, W. Va.. speech yesterday be true. He said “A repeal of the protective tariff, according to the terms of the Morrison bill, wonld cost West Virginia a vast sum of money.” .That bill provided that in no case should the rate of tariff duty go below that of the Mon 111 tariff law of 18151. That

was an Increase over the then present tariff In time of !be war. Since then the tariff has been still more Increased: now, If West Virginia after twenty three years of benefit from those high tariffs could not return to the Merrill war tariff without great loss, wherein has this twenty-three years of tariff 'axalloB benefiited anybody ? The logic of Mr. Blaine’s statement Is that tariff Is a sort of trade stimulant like a nerve stimulant—morphine for Instance—which once Indulged In means death to quit atd no ease but continual increise of the dose—and that means death, every body knows.

BLAINE AND -TOY.

While an effort is making In Illinois in this campaign to elect a legislature wi.Ich will repeal the Harper high license liquor law, figures are fiven to show the beneficial workings of a similar law, the Downing law, In Missouri. In the few months that the Downing law Las been In force, the number of drinking saipons have decreased 12 per cent, or from 2,001 to 3,150. The number of places In which strong drink is sold is decreased over 33 per cent, or from 3,409 to 2,115; an offset to this Is an increase of OIS wine and beer saloous, which in Missouri, at least, is held to be an Improvement; but even ILls offset stlil leaves the totals decreased as stated. In the city of 8t Louis the dram shops have been decreased over 35 per cent , or from 1. 725 to 1,083, as a measure of revenue it Isas pronounced a success It puts the m'nimum license at |550 per year and :he maximum at $l,2<-0. In almost every case, with that leniency which characterizes the application of a new law, the county courts have chosen the minimum license, and the county revenue has improved from this source alone, injd.OOO, or from 1385,000 to f 1,104,000, that Is more than iOO per cent. This revenue goes directly to the counties, and as the decrease In the number of saloons makes the survivors more profitable. It Is thought tne tendency of administration will be to put the license higher and higher until county revenue will enjoy annually at least |1,500,000 from this source. A,s we ehowed In these columns the other day progress of this kind Is making In very many states—over half of all perhaps—while the tendency In the other half Is In the same direction. Indiana can not long resist this tendency. On the south of us ts Kentucky rapidly becoming a prohibition state by means of local option. North of us Is Michigan with Its high license system, west of of us Illinois, with the same system; east of us Ohio, bent In the same direction. Our own people should ponder this thing. We for one believe high license and local option to be the tme principle upon which the liquor trafllc must be dealt with now. It may not be the true principle a half century hence, bu| it 1?, we believe, now. It is democratic; it rests for its support upon the majority of opinion In each community; it can be enforced upon no community except by a majority sufficiently large to carry it out with all the beneficent effects which fiow from a law enforced, and it brings to the public treasury that which is so much needed In debt-burdened American communities, namely; more revenue wiilnut more taxation upon those things unable to bear taxation. SAVING A FUGITIVE. Tlie Late Mr Garrett's Treatment of a Violator of the Fugitive Slave Law. [Clicago BeraWi -Train 1aX" “Mr. Garrett’s death reminds me of a stoiy,” remarked an old railroader not now In service. “It was before the war. I was running an engine on the Baltimore A: Ohio rallrcad. In those days there were a good many slaws getting away from their masters In Virginia and making for Pennsylvania. Bo the owners clubbed together and established a patrol along the Baltimore A Ohio railroad. For more than ICO miles they kept an average of three men to every mile where there was timber, watching the track at nights with dogs and guns to catch any slave who would attempt to cross. One night I was running a freight west. All of a sudden before me In the light from my head-light I saw a colored man standing on the track. I2e had a heavy stick la hls hand, and was fighting for life with a pack of dogs. Down the track I saw three slavehunters running toward the negro. I tell you It was a sight that made my blood boll. Acting on the Impulse of the moment I shut oil steam, whistled down brakes and set up a fearful whistling. I also released the safety-valve and made her blow off steam. 1 hoped to frighten the dogs, and did. Th-y turned and looked at the big light of the engine, and some of them ran way. But ibe slave was nearly as badly frightened as the dogs. He stood motionless on the track. To this day 1 can see hls figure as it was outlined against the darkness. It was a statue of despair. Fearing that we would run over him I clambered out of the pilot and shouted to him just In time. He roused with a start, jumped to one side as I passed and called to him to get on the train, which by this time was running slow. I watched him get on, when I gave her a full head of steam, whU-tled off brakers, and we sailed by the slave hunters so fast they cculd not get on. They tired at me, out missed. My fireman carried my dinner bucket back to the negro. He devoured It like a starving man. He must have been a pecular negro, for when my firemau came back there were streaks d own his coatbegrimed fac e. He had been crying. He saM the nigger embraced him with joy and prayed for him on hls knees on the top of a box car. My bucket was empty when he came back, and then the fireman took hls bn k to our passenger, it was emptied, too. The man was famishing. Well, that slave got Into Ohio, and after an Investigation my case was laid before Mr. Garrett. To satisfy the slave-owners he discharged me, but got me a job on the Pennsylvania road, and paid me full wages all the time I was Idle.”

An Engllah Wedding Costume. At a late fashionable wedding in England the bride wore a petticoat and walstcoit of gold brocade, bodice and train of ivory satin marvtllleux, trimmings of Limerick lace, and her mother’s bridal veil of old Limerick ace.

Bf-v. Henry Ward Beecher Relate* a Conversation with the Latter Concerning the Candidate The following letter has been g’ven to the

public:

To General R. A. Alger. Republican Candidate for Governor of Michigan: Leap. Sik—The publication of your tele gram to James F. Joy, of Detroit, but now in London, and his reply compels me to puhlUh the facts connected with my interview with him at his house on or about September 29, J877, in order to clear myself of the charge of bearing false witness against him. I nave steadily refused to’give to the public press the story of that interview at hU hospitable boaro, his private house, but as the utterance of a public man about a public mac, I had a right to mention it privately amorg my intimate friends. In what way the partial and Imperfect story of that Interview got into the newspapers I do not know. Cerialniy It was not with my knowledge that you were misled by these reports and that jou telegraphed Joy In London: DetBott, Sept. 30, 1834. To Joy fesre Frr.-an. hiiepttrl & Co.. Loni c.

Henry Ward Beecher said nothing of the kind, as you wi 1 scon see. It was easy for Joy to reply: Loxi.-s. Sept 20, 1504. T'- It. A. A'.giT. Let Bhilne never made me any offer to app<uut a coum.iUeeio suit me in any manner or form for any consideration of any kind whatever. J. F. Jov. Piease send to him the following narrative and you may depend upon It Joy will not contradict Its substantial accuracy, neither will any one of the several gentlemen who were at the table with me. nor wli! the other witnesses deny thut the same substantial statements have been made by Joy to others not unfrtquentij: Toward the close of dlnerr, September 2'', W?, political matters were Introduced, among other things Blaine’s failure to receive the nomination chat went to Hajes. Joy spoke with a contemptuous severity of B alne, and gave this statement: “When the difficulty occurred in r< gird to certain 'anis lu the southwest in v, h’ch 1 was interested and the committee was about to be appointed by congress to g\ Amine the matter, Blaine being speaker of the house, through a friend I asked Blaine to have one sound lawyer appointed on that committee. I did not cire of which party, 1 simply wanted a sound lawyer. In a day or two Blaine sent me word through a friend that he had certain depreciated bonds that If I would enable him to place them at par ‘I could have my committee as I wanted It I cannot forget wiih what scorn Joy leaned back In his chair, ard said: “That is the kind of a man Blaine is.” And he added, “I refused the offer, and as the courts soon s*tied the matter no cmmtttee was appointed.” At that time I knew nothiug'of the lands In question nor of tte bonds allud< d to, but I did understand fully Joy’s opinion of Blaine. What changed Joy’s notion and led him to nominate Blaine at the Chicago convention of 1880, I do not know; but t can probably be found out by inquiring of the editors of certain great daily newspapers who hardly found language bitter eni ugh for years to inveigh against Blaine, who now can not find language enough to pour contempt upon men who do not approve of i lacing Blaine in ihe presidential chair. I shall not prolong my letter by narrating Blaine’s views of matters In an interview with me which took place after my speech at Copper Union during the Garfield canvass, at bis own request, in tne Frith Avenue hotel. I can hardly believe he has forgotten that. I can not but admit the indomitable plutk with which Blaine is deiending himself acaiust such a cloud of charges as was never made agalcst any other presidential candidate since the govornmenfe began, yet I can cot ailow myself to be misled by sympathy. With his undoubted kindheartedness, courage, audacity, unsound in statesmanlike judgment.ucscrupulousin political methods, dlm ejedin perceiving the distinction be twnn truth and untruth, tbsorbtngly ambitious, shortsightel a» to the methods or liia'.lfylng hls ambition, but with genial s oisl disposition, brilliant rhetorical capacity. Blaine makes an alluring candidate, but would make a dangerous president. I pray you to excuse my adding to the cares of jour canvass the consideration of these matters. It was, however, but just to you to point cut how misleading way your telegram t > Joy, and how irrtlevant to the subject mailer was his reply. IlEMiv Wakii Beecher.

England, Ireland, and Egypt. The reports made to the KogUsh cabinet, jt-teruay, at the council meeting, were not ecconr agin g. Egyptian affairs are very unfavorable. Dispatches were forwarded to Gem ral Wolseley, which are supposed to refer to acceleration of the expedition up the Nile, In order to llmitthe cost thereof, which latter Rem is reported to alarm the ministry. At the opening of parliament the Jgovernmect will a-k for a further credit, put the amourt. is at present unknown. The cost of the Nile cxptdtt on Is estimated at 1150,000- a day. Col. Stewart, en route to Dongola, stuck on the rocks in the cataract at Wady Ga'ni He bargained there with Arabs to provide camels and guide the party across the desert to Merawl. The treacherous Arabs murdered the first party that landed, then boarded the steamer and killed the remainder, including Stewart, and, It is feared, Mr. Power, correspondent of the Times. Earl Sptncrr sent the government gloomy reports relative to the prospect for tbe coming winter in Ireland. Although the harvest Is reported good, low prices prevent the tenant farmers making pajment for their rent. Should the landlords insist on their full legal rights, evictions would ensue and crime revive. The cabinet also considered dispatches from Sir iieiculcs Robinson, governor of the colony qf the Cape of ».o>d Hope, urging that reinforcements be sent him to act against the Boers. Notable Crime* on Kiturday Gusta McKlsson, wife of Silas McKlsson, of Edinburg, Pa., got her husband to load a sho'gun, and, going to a field where Patrick Forbes was at work, discharged the weapon at him, inlllctine fatal wound?. The murder was the result of a family fued. The woman has been arrested. At about the same time near there five masked men entered the residence of John Shtrry, and gagging the Inmates robbed the house of f0,200. The trial of young Bateman, who outraged ami then murdered the McLaughlin children at Flag Springs, Mo , a IRtle over a month ago, began at Savannah, yesterday, but was soon ended by Judge Keely accepting a plea of guilty from the prisoner and sentencing him to be hanged October 31. Bateman refused to have counsel appointed to defend him, sajing he deserved death and wanted to die. Intelligence has just been received at Tmcor, A. T , that Josh Winfield and S. Fritz and th.elr wives, were found murdered, October 3d, at James Rafferty’s ranch, In the Huachuaca mountains. Rafferty, who is missing, is also believed to have been murdered. It is rumored that a band of Mexicans from Sonora committed the murders, In revenge for the death of a Mexican Qulnoua, who was killed July 10. Oddities In Millinery. Bonnet strings must match the material of the drees. Feather thistles appear among other eccentric novelties in millinery. Lace is used in excess in millinery, and even forms the entire bonnet even for midwinter in some casts, the trimming being feathers and bands of fur. An odd combination, but fashion has no rules.

A Timely suggestion. [New York Sun.] Thes were expecting the minister to dinner. “Is everything already, my dear?” asked the head of the house. “Yes, he can come now as soon as he likes.” “Have you dusted the family Bible?” “Goodness gracious!

On one occasion he traveled seventeen miles over a back road to see a man wt o was said to have a sure cure for the affliction. When he reached hls cabin he was nearly dead. The man told the judge that the cure was Infallible, for uncle Jonas Alnsley had used It two years before and never had a touch of the asthma since, although he had suffered with It for more than thirty years.

Barnett’s victim pursued him two squares after receiving the wound, and a citizen followed the murderer half a mile, but the mule he was riding balked and allowed Barnett to escape. Mrs. Berryhlll, widow of the< late W. O. Berrjblll, was found Saturday morning lying on tbe lioor in her bouse, ; north of Lebanon, near the residence of her father, Elisha Kilty, with her skull fractured and unconscious Dr. Garrison raised the depressed porti m of the skull, and she has been Improving since, but's still unable to g’ve any account of the came. It Is generally thought she fell on a fruit can, which was found on the floor near her, but there are susplclois that jffie was fully dealt with. The unusual spectacle was witnessed at Logansport yesterday of thirty-three immersions in Eel river. The persons baptized were converts to the Seventh Day Adventist faith, and[were gathen d into the fold at the camp-mietlng now being held In that city, and which Is attended by about seven hundred people from all over Indiana. The converts are all from other towns In the state. During the baptizing a team belonging to one of the brethern took fright and ran over Mrs. Carroll, a spectator, nearly killing her. Tbe yearly meeting cf Orthodox Fsiends, at Richmond, resumed business yesterday, bestowing Its afentlon first on the annual report of the committee on foreign missions. The most. Important of the society’s foreign missions is the Mexican. It has been energetic and fruitful during the year, having conducted schools, printed and distributed tracts, and attended and aided tbe poor. In some of Its department 1 , however, It has needed more money, and there has been a scarcity of teachers. The receipts of the mission during the jear were $.",225, but its expenditures were $5,689, and it nowrcSts uad i5 aa Indebtedness of $324. The meeting approved of the report, appointed a new committee, and appropriated $1,000 fo: its use. A committee, appointed a year ago, to consider the advlsablilty of changing the time of holding yearly meeting, reported against the change. The alumni of Earlham college were authorized to nominate two of their * number for appointment, by the lepresentaMves, ai trustees of the college. The meeting has received ihe following statement respecting the college’s finances: Running expanses during the last year, $1,225.50 ever the ncelpts, making the college indebtedness now $3 355 13.

[Cta.1) Jnn’!\ lew with Chairman G >nuati.] “There Is probably an Influence at work in the Catholic church to help Blaine. I do not charge this, but In common with obseivk g democrats we think we see an Influence with the Roman ecclesiastics and priests operating In favor of Mr. Blaine. It Is well known that hls mother was a member of this church, and that most of her children were brought up In that faith. If you could get to see a Mr. Dp* ard he will ttll you a very ex raordlnary tale about Blame. I do not know anything about it myself, but I have heard this story. It seems Mr. Lippard Is a prominent officer of itfluence in the order of United American Mechanics.” I can not recollect the name of this order as Mr. Gorman mentioned it to me, but he cont nued: “This order was originally got up to fight the influence of the Roman Catholic church. Lippard says that Cape), the Eoglith priest who has been some some In this country, came here for the purpose of converting a nember of the prominent American public men. Two of the persons he added to the fold were Blaine and George Bliss, according to Llppard’s st >ry. Mr. Blaine, when Capel called upon him, was writing hls book in Washington, and had abandoned any idea of ever becoming president. He thought hla prospects were exhausted to lead hls party In another national contest, and he was willing to listen to a celebrated man like Capel, who Is very Ingenious and effective in hls private argument. The story goes that Capel received him Into the Catholic church again. Boon after this was done, Blaine’s political pros pects increased, and he finds himself the national candidate. We have reason to believe that the Catholic Influences everywhere are working for him. We think that influence is seen in Kelly’s and Grady’s leaning toward Blaine.” It Batislied Her Fa [San Francisco Chronicle. 1 “I have come, sir, to ask you for your daus liter’s hand. ” “I beg your pardon, what name did you saj?” “I have not had the pleasure of meeting you except casually. My name Is Smith.” “Have you any references?” “Certainly, your daughter.” “Ob! Thank you. It Is so good of you to ask me. It Is enough that you didn’t elepe with her. I don’t know you, but I * suppose you’ll live in the house and we’ll ' have an opportunity to become better acquainted. Good morning.” New York's Gratest Industry.
