Gtx. IS. F. Ectler intimates very clearly that the many wrongs under which Massachusetts is laboring cannot be cured by the Republican party, simply because they are the outgrowth of Republicanism, a natural consequence. Wunr a Republican paper is confounded with the facts showing the amount of public lands stolen under Republican administrations, and the amount which a Democratic administration has restored during two years past, it simply tries to balance accounts by yelling "bloody ahirt." The growth of Texas is phenomenal. In 1870 the State bad a population of SOO.000 and about 2,0C0,0OO acres of land under cultivation. In it bad a population of l.t-CO.COO and an area of 12.000,000 acres under cultivation. Now Texas bas a population of 2,500,000 and 20,000,000 acres of land under eucces&ful cultivation. Texas could support a population of "0,000,COO and still have a surplus. iOTWiTHTASDiisa the Government is doing its utmost to maintain the supply of shad In the bays, inlets and rivers along the Atlantic coast, there is a marked decrease in the catch year after year, and tbeie is daDger that not a an&dow of a shad wiil be left at a very early day if prompt measures are not taken to protect the pilgrims in their swim from southern to northern waters, and New Jerseyis moving in the matter in downright earnest. It is stated authoritatively that the demand for wrought iron pipe has more than doubled duiirg the past fire years. The diecovery ot new natural gas and pe troleum neids, ana tne determination oi telegraph, telephone and electric light companies to do away with overhead wires, has created an immense demand for wrought iron pipe. At present Pittsburg supplies 75 per cent of all the pipe used in the country, besides shipping luantitiei to Canada, England and Russia. And now it appeals that Jay Gould can not obtain possession of the Baltimore and Ohio telegraph property which happens to be within the jurisdiction of the State of Pennsylvania, as the statutes of that state absolutely prohibit the consolidation of rival telegraph lines. The only way out of the difficalty will be for Jay to purchase the next Legislature of Pennsylvania and have the objectionable law repealed. If the Legislature is Republican, he can do it for a moderate um a fact which none anderstand better than Jay Gould. Pap.005?, one of thi convicted Anarchists, th one who was a Texas carpetbagger, and who, with otherj of his kidney, sought to perpetuate anarchy in the South, has written a book of r.00 pages, in in which he gives a history of anarchy, and the proceeds of the sales of which he hopes will support hia wife. Parsons was -as good a Republican aa Guiteau, but it is not saown that at any time, like Marat Halatead, he suggested the murder of Abraham Lincoln, or any other man, fcr the gcod of the country. DISPOSING OF THE AMER GREENS. It is all nonsense to talk about the disgrace of the state or of a county when murderers like An; er Green are killed by aa indignant people. Ind. Sentinel. It Is inch talk from recfcless newspapers that encourages the mob spirit. It is not "nonsense" to say that a state or a county Is disgraced by murderous mobs Mob law is never right not even when they happen to murder a criminal who is entitled to be hunsr by the law. The law shares its prerogatives with no other earthly power. All taking of human life lawlessly is murder and that is no remedy for similar crime. . It Is simply reverse which is not known to the law. So lo'i-;; as newspapers condone mob law In any form and under aoy circumstances, just so long will we have mobs and barbarous executions that would Iis rrace savagery in ita worst forms. YinrennesSun. Oar esteemed Vincennes Contemporary, we regret to say, appears just a little aaxions to make a point against the Sentinel. The Sun makes a mistake when it intimates that the Sentinel encourages the 4,mob spirit." The Sentinel discourages the murder spirit; but we will not say that our esteemed contemporary favors murder, auch aa that perpetrated by Amer Green, or any other wretch as unspeakably vi'e, The Vincennes 8nn reasons according to accepted theories, it talks well enough of theiule, but omits all reference to exceptions which it is always proper to consMjr, and which communities, courts and juries alwajs consider. An illustration or two will auce. A man, a husband leaves hla wife In the morning in the security of home to attend to businefis, he returns after a few hours to find that his home baa beea invaded by a beast in the shape of a man that hla wife has been assaulted, overcome, and made the victim of rape. His wife is not dead, though she wishes sue were dead. She describes the iumaa beast, tells of her struggles, and the hatband listens, witnesjes the wreck and then goes forth to hunt the monster, finds him and kills him. If that murder? Xoea that disgrace the husband and hin Jiome? Doee it lower bim to the extent of ft millimeter of a hair's breadth In the estl jualloa oi zaea or an&elj? Will the San

answer? Ia there a jury in the world that wonld render a verdict of guilty of murder In any degree? On the contrary, ia not the universal verdict "well done?" Does not the slayer of the fiend receive a baptism of benedictions from men and women, wives, mothers, sisters and children for killing the monster? What has the San to say? But in the case cited, the human beast did not murder the wife, he perpetrated tha outrage, and left her alive in agonies worse than death pangs. Some times such demomzed creatures as we hare referred to, outrage and then murder their victims our esteemed contemporary, the Sun, has doubtless heard of such cases. Then the horror spreads to all homes in the vicinity, then every heart is touched, every manly lip is compressed, every hand becomes a clinched fist there is detestation In every heart, and fire in every eye. Then good men assemble, the guardians of the home, the protectors of wives and childred, and they conclude to hunt down the wretch and if found, kill him. What has the Sun to say about it? Does such an act "disgrace" the fathers and brothers? Do they constitute a murderous mob? Ia the editor of the Vincennes Sun a husband? Is he a father? If eo, he can put such questions to himself and tell his readers just bow he would act. We have no hesitancy ia crowning him with all the high prerogatives of manhood; and realizing his responsibilities God imposed, before statutes were made he goes forth, loyal to a higher law than constitutions and statutes and slays a creature in all regards worse than a mad dog or a wild beast. What of Amer Green? What ot Luella Mabbitt? Wedonotcaretorehear.se nor re-hash tne story. To oar own mind's eye there stands the home of old man MabbittWe paint no fancy picture of the home, but it was home. There is no more sacred spot. It may be humble, still it is home. We have no poetic fancies for the child, the daughter Luella. Was she the pet of the home? Was her voice melody and her smile a benediction? Wedo tot know. Bat Amer Green, a wretch whom it were a compliment to call a villain, and an insult to the whole canine race to call a dog, allured her from home, murdered her in the dark and tied. Captured, he was returned, and brought into close proximity to the place of his crime. Then what? One sentiment took possession ot men ot staid habits, farmers, husbands, fathers, brothers. Each felt his share of indignation ; it massed like stormcloud, when cyclones and tornadoes are fashioned for their work. It was a resistless impulse, not of vengeance, but of retribution. Put into plain English it was that Amer Green had lived too long and that justice demanded his death. His damnable, demonized deeds demanded his speedy removal. Law, justice, all things sacred to home, the weakness, the innocence, the purity of wives and daughters demanded tbat Amer Green should die; and in killing him no disgrace attaches to city, county nor State, unless it can be shown that Amer Green ought to live. The Vincennes Commercial, referring

to Amer Green's record as kept by himself, and with which the people are familiar, says: "For the good of the world he is out of the way. We deplore mob law, bat even mol law in this wretch's case did not come soon enough. Green's entire life was one of infamy." Snch upheavals as those which ended the career of Amer Green, are not mobs ia any legitimate sense. They are exhibitions of no disrespect of law and order they are not composed of bad and dangerous men. They are the results of natural laws which cannot be revoked and when called into operation are resistless. It matters little how the Amer Gleens of the State go, and he or they who rid society of such indescribable monsters are benefactors. WOOL. '1 he chief of the Bureau of Statistics, at Washington baa prepared and published a special report, relating to the imports and exports of wool and its manufactures in the United States and the principal foreign countries, also its production, cansanation and manufacture, tariff duties imposed etc.. The report is exhaustive and of great value to those who desire to study the wool question. It is stated that the total number of sheep in the United States and Territories in lfS;, was 4 V22,"31 and in 1SS7, 41,750.311, being a decrease in one year, of 3 .v.017, but if a period of twelve years is considerel, it is shown that the number of theep has increased 10,073,91 1, or 02 per cent, since 1S75. Referring to the quantities of wool produced in the United States and territories, the report tajs the production in 1880 was JlCCO.COO pounds, valued at $!0,230,r37. In 1S80 Ihere was imported 12s,131,747 1-ouDds of woo), valued at $17,013,vw, making a total of S-3,131,747 pounds of dorr es tic and imported wool, valued at $108,144 203. The total manufactures of wool in 1.-S0 amounted to $267.252,t13. The tax on the wool Imported In 1330 was, say :H cents a pound this tax per pound was added to the domestic production, and necessarily increased Its cost for manufacluring purposes about (1.320,000. The imports of woolen manufactures in 1330 was $31,831,517, upon which a tax was levied of $21,801.153, about 70 per cent. and this 70 per cent, was added to the value of the home manufactures, not for the benefit of the wool growers, became they were protected by the tax on wool, but for the benefit of the manufacturer who employed, In 1340, 13.S03 hands. The figures of the report show that In 130, the value of domestic and foreign wools amounted to $103.111,20."; the amount of wages tbat jear paid to hands was $17,3M, 07; total value of wool and amount paid for waze. $155,513,200. The value of the product was $207,252,013, showing a bal ance in favor of the manufacturers of $111,710,023. The total capital invested in woolen manufactories, in l.80, was $150,0fl,8O; allowing 20 per cent, on the cap ital invested, $31,813,373, there would still be a remainder of $79,801,250 to be di Tided among the monopolists, the beneficiaries of a robber tariff. Referring to still later figures, showing the outrage perpetrated on the people by the present Republican tariff, the Chicago Tribune, In a recent Issue, says: Last vsar the tariff receipts from the duties a wool amouatel to TJ5,12;.193.

While those on woolens foot up $27,278,".27. In other words the manufacturers 40t nearly six dollars to the farmers' one foliar. Nor is that either all or the worst. Sesides imposing a tax of this magnitude on the corn; try for imported woolens, there ia the far greater indirect but no less burdensome bounty tax on domestic woolen goods through the enhanced cost to the consumers. The average rate of duty on imported woolens ia nearly 70 per cent, ad valorem. And as the consumption of domestic woolens is no less than $400,000,000 per annum, these goods, without the war tarifl of 70 per cent, were only worth $225,000.000, the loss to the consumer being $1(0,000,000. The $41,000,000 worth of imported woolen goods, with the $27,000,000 of war tariff added, cost the consumers $68,000,000, without counting the middlemen's profit, charged on the duties as well as on the foreign value. Thus it appears in order to procure $27,000,000 of unnecessary revenue on imported woolens, there is added about $200.000.000 a year to the cost of woolen clothing of the American people. And this ia called "protection." Those who clamor loudest for dear woolen goods and are the most blatant for free whiskey, would do well to consult the figures and see if a reduction of the tax on woolen goods cannot be reduced fully one half, and still have sufiisient protection for manufacturers. That would not be free trade, but it would be less taxation and therefore a more honest trade the consumer would be required to pay less tribute to the rich and would be able to purchase woolen goods at lower rates. We are satisfied that the people will comprehend the necessity of reducing the tax on the prime eentiais of life, until the surplus of the Treasury disappears, and until the most rigid economy becomes the policy ot the Government Indeed, auch economy U the policy of the Government; and the lapping oil of unnecessary expenses, only increases the surplus while unjust taxation prevails, and daily brings into bolder prominence the iniquities of the present tariff.

RAILROAD DISASTERS. The Chatsworth disaster is now ancient history. It came like an earthquake shock. It horrified the country. There was some sort of an investigation; the dead were dug out from the ruina and buried; the wounded, crushed and mutilated, were cared for; some died. Some live; maimed for life. Live to tell the story of a disaster unparalleled in the history of railroading, but the great majority of the people have forgotten all about It. Other disasters, not so extensive, not quite so horrifying, claim attention for a day or two, and are forgotten. The old system of negligence prevails. Human life is cheap, and in a population of 00.000,000, the killing of a few hundred is not a matter of special importance to the great public or to the railroads. Our attention is called to the Chatsworth calamity by an article ia the Riilroad Gazette. It is a lengthy article, but not too lengthy. It is fruitful of thought. The writer is familiar with railroading. The statement is, 87 were killed, 130 were wounded; total killed and wounded, 2!7. The writer says: "The daily press, as usual, demand severe punishments, and tell us just the remedy, but their suggestions are as impracticable as ever." The daily press of the United States imy make impracticable suggestions. Newspaper making is not railroading, and yet all the great daily papers in the country devote more or less space to railroading;, and em ploy special writers for that branch of journalism. Rut hitherto the suggestions of the daily press, in most cases when a railroad wreck was to be recorded, have been regarded by railroad managers as specially practicable. The press loaded down with free passes, generally suggested that "nobody was to blame," except pos sibly, Divine TroYidence; and as a general proposition. Divine l'rovidence shouldered all the responsibility, and there the matter ended. At the funeral of the killed, ministers would say, "life is uncertain," "all must die," "the Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away," etc. But a great many people have concluded to try their case in court, and damages in large sums have been awarded. The Divine Providence theory cuts little figure in court, and the very fact that railroads are responsible when passengers are killed and wounded, for large damages in dollars, is conclusive that any suggestions of the daily press relating to the prevention of dieasters (now that free passes are largely done away with) may be practicable and of the highest value to the traveling public. We note with special interest the following suggestions of the daily press as printed by the Gazette as impracticable. True, they relate to the Chatsworth disaster ob the Toledo, Peoria and Western Railroad, but have, nevertheless, wide application. The Gezelte says: They (the daily press) want watchmen at all the bridges, but do not explain how a road is to be made profitable with such an expense item; they want Iron bridges and stone culverts, but have nothing to say on the subject when praising a road for reducing its fares and giving bene fin to the public; they say this tram should have traveled more slowly, but cannot tell how a road is to comply with such a demaad when its competitor makes quicker time. They refer in scathing; terms to the past financial vicissitudes of ths road, and say, doubtless with ; justice, that daring its connection with the Wabash system it was managed so that its profits went into the wrong pocket And jet the Toledo, Peoria fc Western is no worse and no better than numbers of other roads with thoasands ot miles of track. Most likely it is fully up to the average. It hai wooden bridges OTer short openings: bnt so have important trunk lines. It does not afford night track walkers; but neither do many roads with twice or four times the business of this one. It runs heavy cars at tbe rear of trains, and places the weaker one io iront, where the heavy oaes cia crush them; but older aud larger roads set the example. It runs "double headers" and leaves the forward engineman wholly powerless to handle the train brake, in disregard of the warning of the Carlyon accident some years ago; but numbers of "first class'' roads keep It company. It rani trains in the blackness of night and without tbete safeguards as fast as it would In the brightness of noonday; but what superintendent has the courage to be so old fogy isn as to slacken speed at every culyert? The reader will readily discover in the foregoing the impracticable suggestions of the dally press, as also the running comments of the Gazette. The daily press ane-e-ests "watchmen at all bridges," It suggests "iron bridges and stone culverts," a alow speed in the dark where bridges are Of wood and the culverts of other material Jthaaatons, That ths earnings ot roafc

shall not go into the "wrong pockets" etc. What, we ask, ia there impracticable in tne suggustions of the daily press, as set forth by the Gazette? What, that ia not absolutely in the Interest of safety, in the interest of tne travelling public, and in the interest of railroading? If the suggestions of the daily press had been acted upon by the Toledo, Peoria and AVestern Railroad, the Chatsworth disaster would not have occurred. Is a suggestion impracticable which points out flagrant errors In the construction and management of railroads? It ia because shcu suggestions have not been made, or have been discarded when made, that ninety psr cent of all the railroad disasters of 'the country occur. - s Thugs have come to a pretty pass in Indiana when Gov. Gray feels obliged to call upon the United States authorities to assist him in putting a stop to the depredations of the band of marauders known as the White Caps. Theee midnight visitors, who have established a reign of terror in a number of the counties in that State, have control of the local courts, so that nothing can be done with them in this way. It is claimed that the Federal statute designed to suppress the Ku-KIux in the South will justify the government officers in prosecuting the White Cape. Governor Gray has made a mistake, we think. This is pre-eminently a case for the State authorities, and there ought to be enough lawabiding citizens in Indiana to put down any disorder. New York World. J ust what Gov. Gray has done to warrant the comments of the World Is not known hereabouts, but we feel safe in saying Gov. Gray has done nothing calculated to comprom!3e the dignity of the State of which he is Chief Magistrate, or to. intimate that Indiana is not amply able to arrest and punish law-breakers within ita jurisdiction. Manifestly, such statements as the World publishes are well calculated to injure the reputation of Indiana abroad, and we do not believe they are well founded. Indiana is not in a condition to require Federal aid to suppress "White Caps" in any county in the State. It is asserted that reports as published relating to the marauding of the "White Caps" are largely Munchausenish, shamefully exaggerated, in numerous instances downright lies; but enough, after all, is true to demand the extermination of the gang. Indiana is equal to the emergency, and the fact ought to be promptly demonstrated. In answer to certain newspaper reflections upon General Black, regarding the treatment of Jap Turpen, by the Pension Department Mrs. Tarpen has written the ollowing letter: Washington-, D.

Los mn, October SO. Mr. Chamberlain was interviewed on board the truria at (Jaeenstown to-day. He said he had thoroughly enjoyed the trip from Liverpool, though the weather had been squally and cold. On his arrival in New York he intends to go direct to Washington, not to Ottawa first, as Canadian papers have stated. He laughed heartily on hearing the rumor that the Irish Attorney-General would accompany him, and' said that the Canadian press ought to have known that the Attorney-General'a work was cut out for him In Ireland. lie attached no importance to the strictures which certain Canadian and American papers had thought fit to pass upon him. He said: "I shall enter upon my duties unaffected in the slightest degree by any outside hostile criticism. I do not intend to return to England, directly my labors are finished. Not having been in America before, I am awfully anxious to see the country and its institutions. It is aleo my purpose to vii'. Canada. It is therefore unlikely th-1 shall return shortly before the assent .ng of Parliament." On being qai.- ioned regarding Homerule, be said i- ad ceased to be a politician for a couple of months. He had, however, no hesitation in saying that those who were sanguine of soon seeing a parliament in Dublin, would have to wait much longer than they expected. "I will go a step further," he continued, "and say tbat I am inclined to think that if a great and generous scheme of local Government were granted to Ireland, the feeling which is represented as being .so intense, especially in the South, in favor ot a separate parliament, would gradually die away. Previous to the passing of the Dis-establish-ment P.ill, religious feeling between the Protestants and Catholics ran very high, but now it has almost disappeared. I firmly believe that it is not beyond the reach of statesmanship to make Ireland peaceable and contented with a full measure of local Government." Chamberlain said he was confident his mission wonld be successful. He expected a cordial reception in America. Nobody was more desirous of maintaining good re lations between England ana America than he. For some time his mind would be occupied more with official matters than with politics. laUng the Folice. Prw.ix, October 00. At Kanturk to-day O'Brien eluded tbe police and addressed an immense crowd of people, some of whom were mounted. He said this was probably his last day of liberty for some time, and he was proud to spend it there. He ridiculed Balfour'a idea of repressing agitation by confining Irish members of tbe House of Commons. "These members," he said, "are outpojts ot an army of twenty millions of the Irish race. If this is conspiracy, it ia conspiracy, with every element to make a national and great cause that is unconqu?rable. Continuing he said. "Tbat the tenants who bad adopted the plan of campaign were sare of a decent roof over their heals this winter and a comforting Christmas dinner, which was more tban many oat-afthe-elbow rackrenteis expeeted. Where ever the tf aants had the manliness to use the plan of campaign and discipline to stick to it, it protected their homes, striking God's fear into the landlords' hearts. Of ten thousand persons evicted during the past year, only 110 had adopted the plan of campaign. The advantages of the plan were thus proved, and it wouid be organized on such a scale this winter as would reward tenants for their efforts. He depreciated outrage, but if patience was necessary, manhood was still more necessary, if they wish to win an Irish Parliament and ownership of the soil. Blunt Wiites to Churchill. London, October 30. Wilfreid Blunt, who was convicted of violating the Crimes Act in speaking at a proclaimed meeting at Woodford, and who was released on bail, an appeal against tbe sentence baring been taken, has arrived here. be has written a letter to Randolph Churchill with reference to tbe latter'a speech at Stockton. He says he does not doubt tbat if l ord Randolph had been at Woodford last Sunday, and had known of the doings of Clanrlcard's, he wonld have done as the writer did. He concludes as follows: "I am ready to bear bard labor or tny other penal treatment which Balfour may decree, and I shall bear tbe same well. Bat, as concerns the law, be plays with loaded dice. Tbe new Crimes-act Is modelled on those hanging commissions which you and I denounced in Kgypt five years ago. I hope that if you can spare the time, you will attend the hearing of my appeal in January. Tbat would be far better than recommending me to Balfour's mercy, which I don't want." Gaits la Karope. London, October 30. A terrific gale rsgtd in the south of England Saturday night. Many buildings were unroofed and there were numerous shipping casualties in the Channel. A boat with a party of twelve persons, which left Weymouth for a night's trawling, was capsizsd and ten of tbe psrty were drowned. A sloop was wrecked oil Dunkirk: and four men were drowned.

Fearsons have been for tfpaie years interested in aiding the needy students of the Chicago Theological seminary, and they have given suSicient to support two students for the last three years.

BEER FOR VETERAH3.

A Itadnction ia the Drunkenness mi the Dayton, O., Home. Dwtos, Ohio, October 30. Geneml Fatrick, Governor of the Soldiers Home, says of tie eSect ot selling beer at that institution : "The Mayor of Dayton reports the arrest of 4 SO soldiers' between Jul7 12, 1SM5 and July 1, lsSG. While for the same length of time after the beer hall was opened at the Home, Jaly 12, lS3 i to July 1, 1887, but 274 arrests of soldiers' were made in Dayton. The surgeon of the institution reports that the small number treated for alcoholism this year was fourteen aa compared with thirty-eiht in 18stjr and thirty-five in 15, is to be credited.to the lees number of soldiers' who are given to protracted debauches and bad liquor." "Since the opening of the beer hall not one-fifth as many cases have been treated at the guard-house or hospital after spreeing, this year as in former years. The discipline and good order of the Home have never been as good as now, nor have the men been as contented. More money is eent by pensioners and employes to their families tban ever before. The Governor ea$8: 'I em bappy to say that candid men SDd women of the most intense prohibition proclivities, who have been at the Soldiers' Home, investigating on the spot fairly, bave decided that, nnder the circumstances, it is beat to leave the Home aathorlties to the exercise of their own judgment in this matter.'. "It is only the theorists snd fanatics at a distance, who know nothing of the circumstances, who keep up the cry, down with tbe beer saloon at the Soldiers' Home. It is the opinion of every otlicer of the Home, whether Prohibitionist or otherwise, that under existing circumstances, the .beer hall has reduced vice, crime, debauchery, sickness, aud the waste of money that should go to tne families of soldiers. Tbe average number of inmates of the Home at present, 4,2it. Average present and absent, 5.17Ü. Whole number cared for during the year, i.Oi--'."

Wl, by persons claiming to enter the same under the settlement lawsof the United State, then bona tiiks purchasers from the ra'.lroad company, ii quali :iti as to citizenship, their heirs ori-s-signs ruav make ptyment to the United States tor such lands at the ordinary Government price for the lanR aud receive patents thtrefor.
