The Tidal wave.


There has been much heard during
the present campaign about the "Tidal
Wave" The tidal wave is failure.
The tidal wave in Vermont and Maine
has settled the question. 1t was to
float Horace Greeley into the White
House and sweep General Grant out of
power. Unfortunately for these gentle
men, their wave does not rise, their tide
Gibbs instead of flowing According to
the rosy picturings Of the early canvass,
by enthusiastic journalists, the gather
ing in Cincinnati was as the resistless
rushing of a mountain torrent, and Bal
tmore was to be the flood As the tidal
wave comes in, jaded political wire
pullers, whose worn and weary looks
tell most plainly that they are disheart-
ened in their futile grasping after the
evidences of the great popular uprising
that was promised for Mr.. Greeley, the
great Sun, to which they looked for
beams of official comfort and rays of
liberal salary. The man to beat Grant
had come, but it now has the appear
ance Of a funeral. The present demon
allied condition Of the Liberal Demo
cratic party shows the paucity of its
numbers, and there is not left any lead
ing popular idea or policy upon which
it can further appeal to the people. Mr..
Greeley was taken up in the hour of the
Democratic party's distress only to be
beaten. He can count on a very small
vote following after the ''tidal wave" in
Vermont and Maine, which shows how
the party is to be beaten in November
Mr.. Greeley will be let alone severely
by Liberal Republicans, and beaten more
decidedly than any other candidate in
this half century.

KEEPING FISH FRESH WITH SUGAR
A method adopted in Portugal for pre-
serving fish consists in removing the Wis
cera and sprinkling sugar over the inte-
rior, keeping the fish in horizontal po-
sition, SO that the sugar may penetrate
as much as possible. 1t is said that fish
prepared in this way can be kept COM
pletely fresh for long time, the SAVIOR
being as perfect as recently caught. Sal
mon thus treated before sailing and
smoking possess a much more agreeable
taste, table spoonful of sugar being suf-
ficient for five pound fish.

Late Dairy Markets.
CHEESE.


Monday was another dull day at Utica.
A large amount Of cheese was represent
ed-not less than 5000 boxes, as csti-
mated by the buyers-but only about
1000 boxes were registered. There were
only three sales. These were made at
123@124@134@134c. Of course stock is
accommodating; but twowechs ago every
thing fit to ship, and some not yet fit,
was generally cleared out. The stock
in New York, if past reports were cor
rect, is not enough to have any material
effect on prices. What has been export
ed is said to have mostly gone into con-
sumcrs' hands. There is waiting now to
see what effect the putting Of the Eng
fish make on the market is going to have.
Offerings of private dairy were less,
the market was duller and prices were
lower at Little Falls than for last week.
Five hundred and forty-two boxes were
offered, sold and shipped. The ruling
prices for these were t1@12c. Three
lots sold for 12!c,
The market for factory was also dull.
There was but one lot sold before four
o'clock, which, in reality, was an hour
later than the closing time of the mar
ket About 1000 boxes were offered,
and 1000 sold, nearly all of these at a
late hour in the day. The ruling figures
were between 10 and 13c. Seven lots
sold for 1910, and one choice lot at 1890.
There were 1859 boxes shipped last
week, being the smallest shipment of
the season. There were shipped, during
the month of July, 25,087 boxes of
cheese, whose aggregate weight was
1855, 685 pounds. During the month of
August, the shipments were 25,527
boxes, whose aggregate weight was
1, 491, 900 pounds.
The receipts of cheese during the past
week, at Boston, were 4, 343 boxes and
% tons. The market ruled quiet but
firm during the week. There was a
moderate demand from the trade, with
sales principally at 13@14c for fine New
York and Vermont factory, and 1870
13Jc for choice Ohio. At the close buy
crs We're less inclined to operate at cur
rent rates, and with the lull in the ship
ping demand in New York, it would not
be surprising to see a decline in prices
during the remainder of the week.
The receipts at New York for the
week ending Saturday last were $4,000
boxes, and the exports were "a, 131
boxes. The cable was Cos. Gold closed
at 113, and the highest quotation for
cheese was lac. For the corresponding
week last year, the receipts were 50, 446
boxes, and the exports were A, 464
boxes. The cable was 49s. Gold closed
11355, and the highest quotation for
cheese was lie.

Greeley to be Thrown Over.

The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia S,nday Repu5dc thus
writes under date Of Sept. T:
'From present indications under the
pare for political surprise, in the shape
of a formal withdrawal Of Horace Gree
ley from the field. All the whisperings
among the knowing ones at Democratic
and Liberal headquarters within the few
DAYS past lead to the conviction that
there is really something important in
the wind, and that it will not be long
before it is made manifest. The
fact is, since the result Of the elections
in North Carolina, western Virginia and
Vermont have demonstrated that the
Liberal element has really brought no
strength to the Democratic camp, the
old foxes are realizing what terrible
political mistake they made in making
their bed with the 'farmcrof Chappaqua,
and the question with them now is, can
the burden be got rid of without demon
alizing the party worse than it is al
ready? IF the Maine election, which
comes off next week, does not show any
Roadway for Greeley, depend upon it
that question will be pressed to praC-
teal solution, and if the result is not the
substitution of the nominee of the
'Straightouts, the probability is that
some new man will be placed at the
head of the ticket. to lead what may now
be looked upon as indeed the most for
lorn of all hopes.

REVELATIONS OF THE CENsUs.-The
history of the Western continent scarce
ly furnishes a parallel to the rapid and
substantial development of Iowa, which
now has one million two hundred and
fifty thousand inhabitants, against two
hundred thousand twenty-five years ago
and her increase in all material resources
has been in equal and even greater ra-
ito than her population. From 1850 to
1870 the increase of assessed valuation
has been from 1923, 714,63 to $7I7, 644,-
$50, an increase of 1908, 930,11 In
the single item of wheat, the product of
Iowa in 1850 was one million five hun
dred thousand bushels, and in 1870 it
swelled to twenty millions.

THE DISCONTINUE OF THE REBELS
The leaders of parties in Washington
agree that the result in Maine is a deci-
sive indication of that to come in No
vember, and some of the prominent
friends of Greeley go so far as to say
that his withdrawal is the only re-
source left to escape total defeat The
falling off in the straight Democratic
votesin Maine from that of 1868 is noted
as particularly significant, and as PROV
ing the weakness of the new and I'M
natural alliance.

How HE FELT. A short time since,
the indomitable Henry Clay Dean, of
Iowa, addressed large meeting i'll one
of the towns of New Hampshire, pitch
ing into the Republicans with much
force and eloquence. At the end of one
of his most fowery sentences, he asked
if there was a Republican in the hall.
IF there was, he would like to have him
stand up and tell him how he felt. No
one responded, and he repeated his re-
quest two or three times, when, at
length, a venerable farmer in the rear Of
the hall stood up and announced that he
was member of the party which the
speaker had so eloquently abused.
"Well," said Dean, with an air of tri-
umph, chow do you feel?' 'Well, ."
drawled out the tiller of the soil, loud
and clear, II don't 'zactly know; but it
pears as if | felt like a sound egg in a
bushel of rotten ones" Shouts of
laughter and rounds of applause were
willingly awarded, even by the old mans
opponents, and it is hardly necessary to
add that the meeting came to an early
conclusion.

GREELEY MONEY IN MAINE. The
Washington correspondent of q New
York evening paper gave the following
news Tuesday:
"One of the most prominent Greeley
men here said to-day that money had
been wasted in Maine like water, and
that great mistake had been made in
not abandoning the contest in that State
entirely and spending the funds in
Pennsylvania and Indiana. The mem
bers of the Greeley Campaign Commit
tee are no longer sanguine as to the
election of their candidate"
The hoeus-pocus about the transfer
of percentages" does not deceive the
Greeleyites themselves. They see plain
ly enough that the people regard their
entire scheme with disgust, and every
where refuse to support it.

The LIBERALS IAN UNKNOWN QUAN-
TITY.-The New York Herald of We'd
nesday says: ''The Maine election, in
its general and specific results, proves
that the Liberal Republicans, as rein
forcements to the Democratic party, are
an unknown quantity in Maine, which
signifies nothing, and coupled with the
verdict in Vermont, the judgment of
Maine means that in New England the
lines of the administration party remain
unbroken. In October, from Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana, Nebraska and
Iowa, we shall hear something in the
way of election returns which, taken al
together, will pretty clearly foreshadow
the issue of the great national field day
between Grant and Greeley, and, from
present indications, October will main
tain the political music of September.

of note.
The receipts of butter, at Boston,

THE FALSE PRoPHETs-The Chicago
Times says that the followers of Greeley
are like prophets of Baal. They cut
themselves and leap upon the altar, but
fire don't came. At first they said wait
for North Carolina. The fire would
come then. 1t changed a Democratic
into Republican majority. They said
it was fraudulent voting and corruption
that played the mischief. Then West
Virginia came, still the fire was missing,
Vermont was to give the grand exhibit
ton, and it comes in the shape of
largely increased Republican majority.
Then Maine was the refuge. Thus it be-
comes apparent that the Liberal god Baal
is talking, pursuing, on a journey, or
asleep. The Times vows that there is
nothing of this god but an old white
coat and hat, and that it is time Demo
Gratis saved themselves from contempt
by giving up pursuit.
