TILDEN s.OWN UP.

1t is in Tildrn's assumed chsracte As q
reform" Governor that General Xix shows
Tilden up in clearest colors. He illustrates
how Governor Tilden allowed bill, in
which one Of his friends was interested, to
become = law by pretending to q want of
time for its examination, when he know it
was fraud of S55, 600 on the State Treas
ury. The following is Governor Di1's
language:
THAT the want Of time to examine it
was a more pretext to cover npa gross de-
reelection of official duty, and that he de-
liberately permitted bill to become law
authorizing S55 900 to be paid on a con-
tract which he had stigmatiz- d az hav ing
been fraudulently over paid 5 5000. Tha,
his conduct is utterly indefensible is ma l.
lest from the fact that he might have vetoed
this part of the bill, under a recent amend
ment Of the constitution giving the Gov
ernor power to disapprove one item in a
monev bill and approve it a. to the residue
"a power he has exercised in other Cases
Such was the first act in his role as re-
former-an act which destroyed all cobti.
deDce in him among fair-minded men,
by making it IN anifest than his pretended
reform was a mere scheme to make politi.
cal capital on which he might trade for the
Presidency"

TERRIBLY SCARED.

Baker, of the Commonwealth, is terribly
frightened, and We learn from his paper Of
yesterday morning that the Republican par
T. in Kansas has been SO fearfully democrat
lied by the nomination of George I. that
there is imminent danger, not only of
Georges defeat but Of the defeat OF so many
Republican candidates for the Legislature
that the Democrats will have majority on
joint ballot next winter, and will elect John
Martin to succeed Governor Harvey in the
United States S,nate. What wonderful
change has come ever the spirit OF friend
Bakers dreams now, that such a horrible
ghost as. this should iise up before his ter
ri6ed vision Hasn't be told us, time and
again, that The opposition to George T..
wouldn't amount TO anything? Hasn't he
insulted the intelligence of the people
OF the State by saving that they won't be-
heve the truth when it is presented TO
them? Hasn't he insulted the decency and
seil:respect OF every Republican voter in
the State by saying, in substance, that the
more acts OF fraud and corruption a man il
guilty o.. the larger his majority will be I?
And hasn't George I. Anthony been
proved guilty OF more such acts than any
other man who ever asked for the support
of the people of Kansas? Then what are
you crying about? What is it that has
wrought such fearful decentralization in the
party that you can see Democratic L. S.
Senator looming up before you?
But il Mr.. Bakers worst fears in this
respect should be realized, who would be
more to blape than himself? Alter This
mans rotten character was shown. and tho

There is first printed the name Of the per

Read This, Gentlemen

The Albany Times, Democratic, publish
ed where Mr.. Tilden passes his official lie,
suggests:
"A thorough investigation of the census
bureau in Albany, within stones throw
Of the executive chamber, would discover
some sweet specimens Of 'reform'-such re-
form az Tildenism begets and has Bigelow
and Dorsheimsr for his apostles. One Of
the first things the next Legisla-
ture should do is to appoint a committee
with power to send for persons and papers
and ascertain whether any incompetent and
improper persons have been employed, and
how many have drawn salaries when doing
work, in the census-bureau. And this, IT.
respective Of politics; for the giving Of
places to Tilden Republicans in preference
to Democrats is merely party matter with
which the Legislature cannot be expected
to concern itself"

JAPANESE PROGRESS.

Later intelligence from Japan states that
the Mikado of that country will preside al
the opening of the railway between Kiote
and Oraka- A few months ago the frs. rail
way in China was opened, but the enter
prise received no recognition from the high
Chinese officials. This difference illustrate,
the stage of progress in the two nations
They are both advancing. But japan
moves forward with gigantic strides, the
whole influence Of the Government being
zealously exerted for the purpose of Fastening
the adoption of all useful modern improve
ments. while in China the march onward il
made slowly, and often rather against the
wish OF the Government than by its aid.

POLITICAL NOTES.

The success or failure of the reform"
campaign seems to depend entirely upon
the number Of fraudulent votes.
Tilden's par,isans are making desperate
efforts to advance in New York city by
fraud and in the rest Of the State by brsg,
but it won't avail.
No United States Senator is to be elected
in Indiana until the legislative session Of
1889. But the SeDatop Just elected, who
hold for four wears, will have . voice in the
choice of United States Senator At that
time.
Let it not be forgotten that Samuel ]
Tilden was the man who, according to the
sworn testimony of Oakes Ames, drew up
the notorious Credit Msbilier scheme, vhich
brought such diseIace upon the nation.
The var is . failure, let N Immediately
cease hostilitiea, said Mr.. TiIden At Chicago
in 1864 At this time Gov. Hayes was
helping to prove that it vas not . failure,
and he did not cease until it was proved to
Be . success.
Governor Tildep il credited with saying
that il he can't carry New York State he will
move out Of II. Judging from present in
dications, he is trying to save his residence
BY moving the entire floating population Of
other States into New York.
Mr.. Tilden's income in the year 1865
reached the princely figure of $50, 252
The come return he made for this period
gave $4,000 only as his receipts. He made
oath that this vas q true statement, and
thereby defrauded the Government of SlS,-
600 taxes.
A significant "strau" has Just turned up
in New Albany, Indiana There vas .
special election for an alderman in the
Fifth ward of that city, and, after . spiri-
ted contest, the Republican candidate Wa
elected BY . majority Of II, an increase Of
25 over Harrisons majority. The loyal
men of Indiana intend to carry the State
in November.
Samuel J. Tilden was one of the princi-
pal leaders in the celebrated secret meet
ing At Delmonico's in February, 1853 The
oeteneibie object Of that meeting was the
.diffa-ion Of correct political informa ilon :"

accident, and proved to be an organized

AsMoDEL SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.

A school for ladies has been opened in
Berlin on plan decidedly novel, but very
practical. The building contains lodging
rooms for forty girls, school rooms, working
rooms, an immense kitchen and perma
nent bazaar. In the school rooms every
branch that will fit the girls for situations
in banking, commercial or mercantile es-
Establishments is taught. Various trades that
ladies can follow are exemplifed by skilled
operatives. The kitchen is, perhaps, the
chief school room, Tor all the work that is
done by the girls is under the supervision
of the best cooks in the city. This feature
has become so popular from the large num-
Der of betrothed maidens who flock thither
to obtain good domestic educations, that
the managers have begun to charge for in
structions in cookery, and the receipts gen.
orally pay the expenses of the other de-

Mary stuert's Hair.

The question az to the color Of beautiful
Mary Stuart's hair has been hard one to
answer, for her pictures all differ among
themselves, and historians art not more sat-
i-fying. A sentence, however, in Theodore
Martins "Life of the Prince Consort"
throws light on the subject:
The remembrance of this plessaD, even
ing may have been in the late Lord Belha-
ven's mind when he made a b.quest to Her
Msjesty OF a cabinet which had been
brought by Queen Mary from France. and
given BY her to the Regent Lord Mar, from
whom it passed into the family oil Lord
Belhaven. This cabinet, which contains
lock of Queen Mary's hair and purse
worked by her, is now in Windsor Castle
The lock of hair is large-s full tress of
beautiful golden h 'ir-very fin in texture,

INDIAN MEMS


ST. PAUL, MIMI, October 3l.-The "Pio-
neer-Press" has SPECIAL from Bismarck,
which says that Gen Miles had succt So
full fight, after an unsuccessful council, with
Sitting Bull on the Dist and 22nd, on Cedar
creek, killing q number of Indians and
wounding many, his own loss being two
wounded. He chased the Indians about 20
miles, when they divided, one portion going
toward the agency, and Sitting Bull toward
Fit Peek. Gen. Miles followed. Gen.
Hazen has gone to Fl. Peck, with four COM
panies of infantry, and rations for Miller.
Sitting Bull crossed the river below F..
Peck on the 24ih, and had sent word TO the
agent that he was coming in and would be
friendly but wanted ammunition.
FEARS
WASHINGTON, d. C., October 3l.-Two
citizens OF Baltimore have sent to the De-
parrment of Justice, letter, stating that it
is currently reported that the Sheriff Of that
city, through hi, deputies, is contemplating
the arrest of sufficient number of United
States deputy mar.hals on or before next
Tuesday, with the evident intention Of weak
eDing the force and power of these officers
on election day, and that fears OF insufficient
protection from the U. S. Government IN
case of the arrest of sid deputy marshals,
has produced pro iound sensation among
the Republicans, iich makes it exceed
ingly dif'cultto procure a sufficient number
of volunteers for the position on election
day.
Sheriff Mills says the reports are untrue,
and that he will assist the U. S. Marshals
with a posse IL called upOn.

New YORK, October 3l-A raid was

A Reading correspondent of the Phila

ocratic barbecue in that city, says: "There
were three big attractions on the fai,
grounds-two buffalees and General Nc.
Clelian-and the houors we're pretty evenly
divided between them" Well, that is very
complimentary to the buffaloes, at any rate
Probably the assembled democracy were
afraid the buffaloes might get away before
they were roasted, while they knew "Little
Mac" wouldn't move without reinforce.
