An amusing incident has just been brought to light in connection with the “Q” strike. Dan Cummings was one of the Brotherhood leaders when the strike began. As it did not succeed, he went into the grocery business at Lincoln, Neb., where he found he could ship to the best advantage over the “Q,” and did so.

Mr. John Dillon has written a letter on the Irish land question in which he says: “Recent events add new courage to the evictors and rack-renters who last spring were utterly beaten, but who now seem to be inspired with new hopes. The land courts are rapidly becoming, branches of the machinery for the op-' pressing of tenants, to whom they are a delusion and a snare.” 1 An Ottawa special of Saturday says: Mr. Sherman’s statements on the relations of the United States with Canada is accepted by statesmen and public men generally, irrespective of party throughout the Dominion, as an intimation that leading Republicans have decided tnat

Canada must annex or fight for her independent national existence. It id expected that Annexation Clubs will be started shortly throughout Ontario, Quebec and the maritime provinces.

THE NEWS OT THE WEEK. WASHINGTON.

There are only about fifty members of the House in Washington. President Cleveland has signed a private pension bill which he had formerly vetoed. Referring to the annexation of Canada, Senator Sherman said, Friday: “I consider that it is only a question of time until Canada is a part of the United Stateß. Whether it would be one year or ten years, Canady would undoubtedly be annexed.” Senator Morgan has confirmed the rumor that the Republicans of the Senate (Committee on Foreign Relations had made an effort to pass a resolution empowering the President to open negotiations with Great Britain for the purchase of Canada. The nrice to be paid was the assumption of Canada’s debt of $300,000, 0f oby the United States. The annual report of Wm. A. West, chief inspector of the postoffice department, shows that during the last fiscal year 791 persons were arrested for offehses against the postal laws; 213 were postal employes, 172 were burglars and mail robbers, and 406 were persons unclassified.

TORN TO PIECES BY BULL DOGS

James Rife, a farmer living near Shippensburg, Pa., keeps three full-blooded English bull-dogs. On Saturday Isaac Lifter, a peddler, drove up to his house and entered the yard. As he opened the gate the three savage dogs sprang upon him and threw him to the ground. There was no one at home but Mrs. Rife, and she was afraid to go to his aid. The dogs dragged the peddler out into the road and down the road for a quarter of a mile, where they left him lying unconscious. Mrs. Rife ran to the nearest neighbors, two miles distant. When she returned with help Lifter had recovered consciousness and had dragged himself to his wagon. His eyes were torn from their sockets,the flesh was entirelystripped from the face, his throat was torn so that his windpipe and all the tendons and arteries were exposed, and the "flesh on- hislegs and body: were. gashed to the hone in twenty-eight different places. Both hands were torn off. He was carried to the farm house of Daniel Lyons, where he died soon after.

A Complete Town in One Block.

N. Y Bun. If the .block on West Thirtieth street between Sixth and Seventh avenues was suddenly set down in the middle of a huge uncultivated and untenanted prairie it would not be long before it would have a railway station, and figure in all the guide books and maps as a yery important place, indeed. This block has all the necessary ad-Ttmets-of -a thriving city,.and it needn’t care a rap what happens around the corner or any where else. Besides an army of people and scores of big buildings, it has a public school, a police station, two undertakers, two doctors, two drug stores, a bakery, two , laundries, an employment bureau, two groceries, a meat market, a branch of the Public Works Department, a mission house, a church, a fire engine house, an insurance patrol, three barber shops, a Wheelwright, a cabinetmaker, a shoemaker, three livery stables, a tailor, a cigar manufacturer, a boarding house, a dressmaker, a coal yard, an express ojfice, and several saloons.

Gold Fishes.

People who buy gold fishes are easily deluded by designing dealers, as a general thing, because they are not familiar with the characteristics of the life of this specimen of _the finny tribe. The gold fish is white when small, but turns to a beautiful gold color at a year’s growth, and will probably remain this color for three or four years, when old age again turns it a cream like white color, and its fins and tail by this time are very beautifully developed. The fish of course sells for the highest price when it is of a gold color. When it is white the customer is told that it is a very different fish, and sometimes sells it for a silver fish. There is a genuine silver fish. Sometimes one will have a gold spot on its head, and then it commands a much higher price, as the customer is made to Knlinvfl tlmt. it in a amirl finK UCIIC TC vllCVt it ID Cm Cv/IU 110X1 ,

Dreamed or His Death.

Francis Newby, coachman at the Royal Hotel, Attleborough, England, dreamed that lie would meet his death at a' certain lodge gate. It impressed him so that he took every pains to avoid the place, and even when once he had to drive by there, he got a lady in the carriage to hold theorems until the place was passed. The other day he had to go by the spot with a remarkably kind and gentle horse. Jußt in front of the gate something in the road upset the cart he was driving and he was thrown out and killed.

MR MORTON ACCEPTS.

The following is Levi P. Morton’s letter accepting the nomination for Vice President: v. To th Son. M. M. Eltceaud others, Committee: “Gentlemen—ln making formal acmy nomination as the IteSublican candidate for the Vice Presieucy, I desire to express my grateiul appreciation of the confidence reposed in me by the convention. ‘.‘The duties devolving upon the Vice President as presiding officer of the Senate, and In certain contingencies a participant in the legislation of Congress, make it proper that the p«6ple should know distinctly and unreservedly the political views of the candidate who may be presented for their suffrages. It fortunately happens that this duty, for myself, is easily discharged by referring to the principles embodied in the resolutions unanimously adopted by the National convention. The resolutions, unequivocal and comprehensive in character, reflect my personal convictions and have my hearty approval. “It is difficult, in a political campaign, to fix popular attention on more than one issue, and in the pending election every voter in the United States clearly sees that the controlling question l is whether the protective tariff duties now in force shall be so’ reduced as to destroy their efficiency, or whether these duties shall be retained with such modifications and adjustments as shall better adapt them to the great end of protecting the vast and important industries of the whole country. Tne Republican platform, while recognizing the necessity of deducing the. revenue, declares that this reduction must not be made at the expense of these industries and of American labor. The American people have now enjoyed the protective Bystem for a longer continuous period than ever before in the history of the national government. The result is that for more than a quarter of a century they have realized a degree of industrial and financial prosperity unprecedented in this country, and never equaled in any other. The pressing reason given for once again trying,tbe old experiment of a revenue tariff, without protection as a motive or is that the present tariff - has producecf 'afid is producing a surplus in the treasury. But it is not easily within the wisdom of Congress to adjust the national income to the national expenditure without sacrificing, or even imperiling, an in-, dustrial system which has brought untold advantages to the entire /country? Admitting that the present tariff, by lapse of time and the large expansion of trade which it has stimulated, needs revision, is it not wiser and more patriotic to revise it with a careful regard to the interests of protection than with the purpose of lessening its protective features? These are some of the questions which must be answered at the national polls in November. For myself, as a citizen and as a candidate, I do not hesitate to declare that, from long observation, I am an unwavering friend of the protective system. In a business life now extending over forty years I have witnessed and compared the effect upon the country of a revenue tariff tending to free trade with a protective tariff encouraging home industries. Under the former the development of the country has always been arrested, while under the latter it has uniformly been promoted. To the men who earn their bread by the sweat of their brows the difference between the two systems is of narrowing chances on the one hand and expanding opportunities on the other. Free trade would open America to competition with the whole world. Protection reserves America for Americans, native and adopted. The industrial system of a country is as sensitive as public credit. A hostile movement creates distrust in the. public mind, and confidence, the only basis of successful trade, becomes impaired. New enterprises wither in the bud, capital grows timid, the field of labor is contracted and pressure for employment inevitably reduces the wages of all workingmen. “With the views oi the convention, frankly expressed in its resolutions upon all other , questions of public interest, I find myself in hearty accord. In relation to silver and its important bearing upon the "currency, as well as its connection with and influence of the prosperity of large sections of our coinmon country; in its advocacy of a judicious settlement of the public lands policy, in urging the necessity for better coast defenses and the

duty we owe to the shipping interests of the country, the platform but repeats the approved principles of the Republican party. The Republican platform proposes a distinctly American policy; not one of narrowness and bigotry, but one broad and philanthropic—a policy that best helps the whole world by the example of a great growing, powerful nation, founded upon the equality of every man before the law. It is for the American people to develop and cultivate the continent to whiph, in the providence of God, they have fallen heirs. They should accept a policy which looks steadily to this great end. With no spirit of narrowness toward other people, but rather in the highest interest off.il, they should find under their own fla£ a field of limitless advance in the direction of the improvement, the prosperity and the happiness of man.' “Very respectfully yours. v “Levi P. Horton.”

POLITICAL.

Mr. Thurman was the guest of the President at Oakview over Sunday. The county convention of the New York County Democracy .'nominated Abram S. Hewitt for Mayor. The statement is made that Judge Thurman’s contribution to the campaign fund was $2,000, made through a Congressional friend. The followers of Governor Hill, in New York, are trying to force from Cleveland an indorsement of Hill similar to that given Colonel Fellows. Tammany has nominated Hugh J. Grant for Mayor of New York, after making various overtures to the county Democracy, which declined to accept any of their recommendations. Mayor was renominated on a citizen’s ticket. It is announced that Chairman Quay,, of the Republican national committee, has deposited in the Garfield National Bank $25,000 as a fund to reward persons furnishing information leading to

the conviction of violators of the registration law in New York. There will be paid $2,030 forthe first conviction SI,OOO for the second, S3OO for the third, and $250 foieach subsequent conviction until the fund iB exhausted. Reports received by the National Prohibition Committee in Chicago are to the effect that# largely increased vete for the nominees of that party over the returns of 1884 may be expected next November. The- reports from New York State as well as Wisconsin, Minnesota, New Jersey and Indiana are of an especially encouraging nature. Leading members of the party say that, according to present indications, fully .6,000,000 of ballets will be deposited for Fisk and Brooks.

The little town elections which took place throughout Connecticut Monday are of no general interest except as indicating the political drift. The Republicans have for years controlled a majority of the towns, and the returns from one-third of the State show that they have not lost by this election. The city of South Norwalk, heretofore Democratic selects a Republican Mayor. The Democratic majority in Meriden dropped from five hundred last year to eighty. The result in Hartford is substantially the same as last year, the Republicans electing two selectmen and the Democrats three. The hall of the Harrison and Morton Dry Goods Club in New York is one of the noisiest political rendezvous in that city. Nearly 2,000 Republicans gather there daily and sing themselves hoarse. One of the attractions of this politicomusical entertainment is the presence o i a beautiful young woman with a Psyche knot and blue eyes, who sings the solos. Bhe sells Republican campaign songs st the door between the meetings. These daily services of Republican song are mildly ridiculded by Democrats, who nevertheless confess that they are more attractive than the ordinary campaign meeting.

The greatest novelty that the Democrats of Buffalo have so far invented, started its travels Monday night. It is a canal boat, carrying several tons of campaign literature, and having in its cabin a number of well-known orators. There are drawing rooms,sleeping cabins and the wine room has not been forgotten. The route lies over the Erie, Champeam anrl Oswego Canals,and thetrip will last until election day. Monday night passengers will include Bourke Cochrane, ten well-known Tammany orators, Congressman Breckenridge and several local speakers. Thomas Jefferson is the name of the boat, and simon-pure Jeffersonian Democracy will be expounded at all the stopping places. Forty car loads of the most enthusiastic Republicans that have yet appeared in Indianapolis came down from Chicago, Saturday night, the last section of the

delegation arriving here at 8:30 o’clock. Stops at Danville, 111., and Crawfordsville, where large crowds had gathered at the railway station to be addressed by speakeis accompanying the crowd caused the late arrival in this city. There were a dozen or, more campaign organizations from Chicago and its suburbs, Englewood, Pullman, Lake View and Hyde Park, represented in the delegation. When General Harrison, accompanied by Stephen A. Douglass, Jr., appeared upon the platform, he was given a greetingdar more enthusiastic thap any that has ever before been of the septs, but the - aisles and every inch of space in the hall was occupied, and when General Harrison was recognized everybody arose. The cheering continued for fifteen minutes without a break, and the air was filled with waving flags, handkerchiefs and hats. Introductory speeches were delivered by exGovefnor John M. Hamilton and Judge E. W. Keightly, and both were unusually long. The demonstration had visibly affected General Harrison, and when he arose to speak it was evident that he had not tally recovered Control of his feelings.. He spoke at a greater length than usual.

TWENTY-FIVE LIVES LOST.

It has just been learned that the British ship EarlWemyss, from San Francisco, May 29, for Queenstown, and the ship Ardenchapel, whiph left Liverpool on July 31 for Calcutta, collided at sea off Pernambuco on Aug. 25. The Karl Wemyss sank. The wife of Captain Colquhoun, his three children and nineteen of the crew were drowned. The Ardenchapel was badly damaged, and several of her crew deserted and took refuge in the life-boats of the Earl Wemyss. Captain Colquhoun and several of the crew of the Wemyss also took to the life-boats, and were saved. All of the survivors were picked up by the ship Creedmore, irom Manitee, which will arrive in New York in a few days. The Ardenchapel put into the port' of Fernando do ~Noronha for repairs.

A NEW CHIEF JUSTICE.

The Hon Melville W. Fuller, of Chicago, was installed Monday, as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. The oath was administered by Justice Miller,senior Associate Justice. The court room was filled with personal friends of Mr. Fuller and distinguislieji members of the bar. Immediately after the installation court wastadjodrned and the Justices called upon the President to pay their repects, a custom in accordance with immemorial usage.

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.

The Senate Finance Committee's sub* i stitute for the Mills tariff bill, introduced in the Senate Wednesday, embodies! the entire revision of tbe tariff schedules and the administrative features of the present law proposing the re-enactment of all such features as in the opinion of the majority of the committee ought not to bb changed. According to ... the estimates made by the committee the bill provide! for a total reduction of abont $75,000,600 made up approximately as follows: Sugar, $27,759,000; free list, $6,500,000: tobacco (internal revenue,) $24,5(10,000; alcohol in the arts*, $7,500,000- other reductions in customs, $8,000,000. • u ■ In the Senate, Thursday, majority an<| minority reports were presented from the committee on the new Tariff bill. The majority, signed by all the Republicans, favors the measure-, and as against the Mills bill, opposing the latter for the reasons: (1) That it will probably increase instead of reducing the revenue. *' (2) That it provides no remedy for undervaluations, but on the contrary invites and gives immunity to ’ fraud by substituting ad volorem for. specific duties. (3) That it does not remedy any of the inequalities or anomalies, or cure any of the defects of existing law. The minority members of the committee say they were not consulted or informed of the contents of the bill until it was reported to the full committee on September 25. They claim that the subcommittee spent its time in hearing the arguments of manufacturers who have a personal interest in maintaining a high tariff, while the great body of the people were ignored. The report says that the bill offers to the people “practically free whißkv and tobacco, while it leaves the expensive revenue machinery in full -force, and inereasee taxatioa-apoa the actual necessaries of life.” It is also claimed that the bill would increase tbe tax on steel ingots, etc., half a million dollars; c otton ties, a quarter of a,million, trace ehains, etc., 25 to 40 per cent. Mr. Beck made an amended report eulogizing the Mills bill, and insisting that the majority bill would increase the cost of goods to the home consumer and close the markets of the world against imports and exports as well.

A FRIGHTFUL WRECK

A frightful collision occurred near Hannibal Station, N. Y., on the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg railroad at 8 o’clock Friday morning. A Lehigh Valley passenger train using the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg tracks between Oswego and -Sterling Junction collided with a wild cat train from Oswego on a curve in a deep cut. The wild cat was running, it is said, fifty miles an hour, and the Lehigh Valley train about forty. They- came together with a terrific crash, and the two locomotives were smashed into thousands of pieces and the cars were nearly demolished. Engineer Martin D. Slattery, of the wild cat, remained on l his engine with his hand on the lever, and was instantly killed, the lever going through his body. His fireman, John Riley, jumped, but was caught in the wreck and frightfully scalded. Conductor Moss and brakeman Thomas Maxy, of the wild cat, were also badly injured. All of the latter are from Oswego. The crew of the Lehigh Valley train were from Auburn. A. F. Hatch was engineer. He and his fireman jumped. The latter escaped, but Hatch was badly cut-about the head and was aeverely sealded. Julius Smith, the baggageman, and W. Westgate, conductor, were in the baggage-car eating lunch when the crash came. Both were injured,and Westgate may die. It is said the crew of the wild cat attempted to take one more station than ordered.
