Lnrjre Meellns; Addressed by the Mrmbrr from the Klfth District. ALEXANDRIA. Sept. 23. Special. The Hon. George W. Cooper addressed a very large and enthusiastic audience here last night. The meeting was composed of men of all parties, many republicans being present. The meeting was held In the open air because there was no hall In the enlarge enough to hold the crowd. Mr. Cooper spoke for two hours and a half, during all of which time he was given the clo.-est attention, broken only by rounds of applause. He made a strong argument in favor of fre raw miterials "What was it." he said, "that had transformed this great county of Madison from a purely agricultural community into a human line of mechanical industries? "Why do you now hear the scream cf the steam whistle and the rattle of machinery where but a short time since quiet was only broken by the lowing of cattle or the vclce of the plowman? Did protection do this? Maj. McKinley, the grreat high priest of protection, went to Elwood to celebrate the opening of a new tin-plate factory, claiming, and by that fact endeavoring to create the impresEion that to him and his law was due credit for the establishment of this new enterprise. (A voice. 'They did claim it and they make the same claim here now.) Well, If they do they make a false claim, and not only so. they make an Impious claim. Any man who has enough sense to be entitled to vote knows that the cause of all this unexampled development and unsurpassed prosperity is due to the fact that you have free fuel, a free raw material that an Almighty and unseen band has created and stored ud for your use. This is prime cause of your present prosperity. "Cut now I learn that you are to have a new and extensive tin-plate works at Anderson. "Why should not that event be hailed a3 a triumph of the Wilson bill, and why should not that gentleman be present that he might be decorated with such honors as are bestowed upon the supposed authors of such great and benenclent work3? "Xc, gentlemen, you are not indebted to either of the?e, nor to either party, but to the fact that you have a cheap, I might say in the true sense, free raw material." Mr. Cooper said that Grant. In his messages to congress, as -well as Garfield and Arthur and other leading republicans, had recommended free raw materials, but that unfortunately for the country such men had not written the schedules, but men who either represented or were interested in special industries. That tariff legislation was not controlled by the statesmen and patriots, but by hucksters and stock jobbers. He urge ! the people to stand by their representatives in this great contest; their interests were arrayed on one side and those of the trusts upon the other. After three cheers for the speaker and three for Ilynr.m the meeting adjourned in the greatest of good humor, feeling that the campaign had been auspiciously opened. IJE.MOCHATIO Y IN' ORANGE. A.

Lnro and enthusiastic crowds attended both meetings and the speakerswere at their best, and much good will re.-ult from their efforts. They defended the work of the democrats in congress and proved to all that for lasting and beneficial work f or the people the last much-abused oong-ers was away ahead of any of its immediate and many of its remote predecessors. They spoke at length upon the tariff question, admitting that the new law v. as not what was desired, but a grand stride in the right direction and a wonderful improvement over McKinley Ism. The beneficial legislation of Indiana democratic legislators f'jr the people in general, and the laboring classes in particular, were pointed out. and were warmly applauded and approved by th audiences. The new opera house, in which th? West Baden meeting was held, had been handsomely and artistically decorated with flags, banners, burning and evergreens by a Chicago artist, who was visiting the springs, and the beautiful and spacious room, with its decorations, the hotel orchestra and suitable ushers, were generously tendered for th? use of the meeting. That it wa3 appreciated was shown by the many kind expressions toward the genr-rous doner and by the unanimity with whi h the meeting adopted a resolution of thanks, offered by Chairman Buskirk at the conclusion of Mr. Bynum's able and eloquent address.

Tals district, the Fifth congressional, has been claimed by both parties but it is the expression of many that if a few more speakers in the nature of Brown's address are given the doubtful feature will be eliminated. A large number in the audien?e wore farmers, ar.d without an exception they all agreed that Mr. Brown had made a most auspicious opening for the democratic party in this city.

Notwithstanding it rained most of the day, the farmers flocked to the city in great numbers, and filled the court house long before the time announced for the meeting to open. Senator Turpie was a former resident of this county, and the voters here, regardless of policies, were anxious to hear him. He was in excellent health and voice, and being surrounded by men who he had personally known for many years, he addressed them a3 a neighbor and friend, and so cbarly explained the difference between the democratic and republican positions on the issues of the day that much good will result to the democratic party here as a result of his speech.

When young New Englanders in the early days of the colony wished to enter the state of matrimony, they did not find It any too easy work. In the fir?: place, no young man would "make a motion of marriage" to any young woman whose fair face or deft fingers or sweet disposition had attracted his fancy or his affections without first obtaining the consent of the fair one's father or guardian to thus address her. He was liable to arrest, fine or imprisonment If he spoke to her first and thus "inveigled her affections." Many a bold and headstrong swain was punished for that natural offensc in early days, and I doubt not many another slyly inveigled, unpunished and undiscovered, in order to find out from her own lips the state of affection borne toward him by the one he loved. It must have been somewhat of a damrer on lovemaking to have to make such a formal beginning, but there was no lack of marriages. Indeed single persons were much scorned in the Puritan community. "Ancient maids" were few and much to be pitied. Bachelors were looked upon with open disfavor, were not allowed to live alone and sometimes had to pay a weekly fine to the town as long as they remained single. With all these penalties it was plain that all would seek to marry early in life. Ladies' Home Journal. A Protection Against Dort. A Saratoga county clergyman has discovered a method of protection against the attacks of strange dogs. He was walking a street one day when a large and apparently ferocious canine came toward him. growling and showing his teeth and otherwise giving evidence cf a disposition to do him bodily harm. All attempts to drive the animal away proved futile. At last a happy id'a struck the reverend gentleman, and he proceeded to put it i!jto execution. Ha parried an umbrella, which he opened suddenly ln the face of the dog. The belligerent attitude of the dog changed instantly, änd putting his tail between his legs, fte slunk away. Whenever after that the clergyman was compelled to pass that way and the dog was in evidence, the latter kept at a safe dirtance and never even ' so much as barked or growled at the passerby. The clergyman has tried the experiment with many other dog3 since that time and reports that it never has failed to put the animals to flight, no matter how ugly they appeared to be. The umbrella defense is certainly worth remembering If ! one carries the umbrella. Albany Exi nress. A Pathetic ? Ik lit. Every Wagner night of the Soldi concerts at Brighton Beach an old blind man has occupied a front seat, accompanied sometimes by his faithful wife, and sometimes by a devoted daughter. Until the first note he lt3 gloomy, and Hont, but at the preliminary wave qf the leader's Uaton his whole spirit seems to change. Then, as come the glorious harmonies of the great composer's symphonies, the old man lifts up his sightless eyos and seems transported to another world. As the floods of music roll forth they pasa In waves over his face, and his. whole soul held in darkness appears to surmount his affliction. As the music grows sad and low his head sinks down sympathetically, but when the harmonies rl3s again in Joyful bumste, listener's face lights up and responds to ever' tone, and he pities those who cannot feel the power of music.

Cars for the fair were packed until 3 o'clock and by 1 o'clock the attendance on the grounds was enormous. As soon as the races began the grand ptand filled up and when the gong sounded for the first race there were no vacant chairs in the amphitheater. The races were all that could have been desired and were appreciated. The several buildings, stables, barns, pens and departments were crowded all day and the attendants were kept busy from early till late. In the show ring the afternoon was devoted to awarding premiums on horses, cattle and sheep, the amphitheater facing the ring being partially tilled all afternoon. The exhibits in these departments were especially fine and admirers of line stock had plenty upon which to feast their eyes and about which to pass admiring comments. Awards were also made in the women's building and among the exhibits of the children. The great exhibits in the mechanical department were not neglected by the crowd and the machinery was surrounded by interested spectators. Farmers were busy mastering the details and workings of the n:w labor-saving devices that are being shown, the corr.-hukcrs being especially interesting as novel and ustful. The fair Is now an assured miccess and the management has reason to be proud. THE AWARDS. Oood IIoren Exhibited. lint Not Mnny I :x hi I1 tori Cnttle Drpnrtmrnt.

CENTER SHOTS. The poopi, by a tremendous mij 'fity, had tried and condemned the M-rCinb highway robber: their verdict w is -le;. and congress should have guillotined ii at once, instead of torturing i: to death. Devil-fish though it was, vj y i publican in congress pleaded for it and succeeded in predonging its cri? .inal txis:ence. The democrats. howev r. final! fueo"t.ie(j in sending it to the in--rue. I confess that the democratic law. could have boon made still t.-Uer. bur the fact that it is a vast Im; r ivrincnt upon the McKinley bill must l.e aeepted as a splendid triumph for tai:lT reform. Secretary Myers at Auburn. Having produced the panl-; themselves It being but number four in the republican series they con.-: p. rod Xi charge it upon u. But wh -n f cam such effrontery? From the pucces of, their previous tirade of violent abuso' against the liberalism of the d. n. oratio party.

MacVeagh at Chicago. Governor Matthews sail that th democratic party cannot be held rsi.nsible for any of the evils of which ihi farmer complains, ev; under whi hi labor ha- groaned, urd r whieh individ ual (t:ot irporat-) industries drooj e I find u1"d, and honest, manly competition withered and dis tp; care 1. Th- ?-, hsail, were the -v;' of legislation, the, legislation of the republican party. llr declined that the widespread commercial' disaster that has recently swept over th country w.u the result of such legislation, and wh ! the republicans attempted to lay It at the d-or of th? democratic party they placed .on exceedingly low estimate up -n the intelligence of the pe p e. Warsaw t p ia 1. There is a brutal and senseless rpirit of accusation in certain quarter at .his time against the democratic parly because it has not. in the first eighteen months of its legislative ascendancy, been able to upro it, tear down and de-' molish the entire system of vicious legislation whereby the republican party for more tloan a generation has practically' revolutionized this government, made it a plutocracy Instead of a government t the plain people, established privilege an 1 caste in all our publl affairs; made the ri h richer, and the poor pxrer, aggrandized the power of capital and ground and oppressed every organization of labor, and every branch of industry under the American flag. Senator Voorhoes at Terre Haute. All that the republican party could d, all that monopoly could do, oil that in-s-l nt organic -d v.e.ilth could do, all that wicked trusts and ooi-.ioines could do to thwart and defeat democratic efforts was brought to i-ar. In the far.j of these unexampled ditliculti.-s, with curage and fidelity," we threw down th gige of battle to the enemies of th-i plain people an l the work of reform wa begun. We passed laws greatly reducing taxation and equalizing the burdens of the same, a livv making all money taxable. A law taxing the incomes tff wealthy individual-! and corporations. A law rest--ring freed-m of elections. And laws greatly reducing th public expenditures. No party, 1 know, was ever confronted with such dilii cultics, and nparty, 1 am sure, ever did so much in so short a time f,,r th.' relief of the 100ple. Congressman Brookshire at Covington. Our republican frier; Is have been delighted beyond measure because at th time and tdnee President Cleveland and th- democratic administration have com into power the financial and commercial conditions of the country were in a state of Ot predion. They have supposed that this would be of immense value to them Politically, and they have not ceased to comment uion it nor to point to it as an evidence of the incapacity of the democratic party to manage the public affairs. There was nevi r anything ia politics more unjust; there was nothing that Justified it. The accusation, is fal and the men who make it are Insincere. They have not done it from ny high or patriotic purpose, and I have sometimes thought that they gloated over the. misfortunes of th--ir fellow countrymen because of the depravity of their ioltieal claims or a'pirati'-ns. Congressman Cooper at Columbus. IlBI.l, OX KAHTII. The Xew Pennl Settlement Which 1 V. ill Micoeeti Miiorin. A St. Petersburg letter says it has been decree. 1 by the czar'3 government: that Sibreia is too good for convicts, an i as soon as the new Trans-Siberian railway has penetrated its gloomy depths it will be turned Into a "paradi -e" for agricultural settlers and mining sharps, while nihilists and oh-r refractory members of the Russian s -ci.-ty wiH in the fiünro te n ecc m in v 1 ." t e ! on the islanii of ( Saghalin. off the coast of Russian Mananuria, the eastern terminus of the czar'3 ! possessions, north of .lepan. So revolting and h orriole to civiuzel nations is Saghalin that the czar consented to its adoption as an open-air pris hi only aflrr the assassination oC Ca mot and the discovery of the recent plots against his own life. The peopi and the convicts of Siberia never speak of the Island other than '"the hell of' Saghalin," and its e-limMe is said to b-j so much worse than that of Siberia as t rob this appellation of an exaggerated character, even in the mouths ..f these lost ones. The island is separated from the mainland by th- gulf f Tartary and its eastern coast is washed by the Sea, of Okhotsk. The g,overn-r of Manchuria, -h.as reported that a human being not born on the island cannot live more than a year there. There is no moans cf escape except in the winter, when. If a prisoner can -manage to make his way 10 miles north from the prison, it Is possible to reach the mainland over the ice. Tiie ice ibridge is guarded: still, two or three prisoners have escaped by dodging be'hind masses of snow and ice", or, what is far more prjoabie. -by bril-Ing officials. At the present moment the most interesting colonist of Saghalin is Sophia Bluhstein. a full-blooded Russian, in splt of her German name. She achieve! criminal renown by pressing her attention upon the shah of Persia during n batter's visit to St. Petersburg. Sophia had avowedly no Intention of adding i majesty to her list of admirers, bus sought his acquaintance merely (for th purpose of relieving him. if possible, of some of his diamonds. She was foiled ia ber efforts, but succeeded ln having her private car attached to the shah's special train. For this piece of enterprise ehe was banished to Siberia for a year, and while there organized a band of cutthroats and robbers whose services she controlled on ,the continent after their terms had expired. She Is said to b the sharpe-st criminal living, and in sending her to Saghalin the Russian government claims to have conferred a lasting benefit upon the wealthy classes. The Pumncr Mnlden.
