A RARE PROCEDURE.

In the case of the United States
against Samuel J Tilden, in which the
latter is charged with withholding a
portion of his income from the Internal
Revenue Assessors to avoid paying the
tax thereon, and while testimony was
being taken at Marquette, Michigan on
the 18th ult., two men suddenly enter
ed and siezing the books of the New
York Iron Mine, on which the United
States principally relied to prove his
excess of income over the reported sum
made their escape Warrants were is
sued for their arrest and officers started
in pursuit The act caused great ex-

SENSIBLE TALK.

Vice President Wheeler recently adj
dressed the farmers of st. Lawrence
county, New York, the old Gibraltcr
of Republicanism in that State, and
made a speech, which for brevity, ap-
propriateness, and force, could not be
excelled. He reminded his hearers OF
the truth, which all history proves, that
there was no panacea that would give
prosperity to a people who fail to de-
serve it by their honest labor, and no
said, among other things: Ny friends,
we have a great many panaceas offered
in these days for financial bills under
which the country suffers Born in the
old school, have no faith in the new
nostrums. The fact, hard as it is, re-
mains, that We can never regain our
old-time prosperity without return to
the old paths. We must have sober
views of life We cannot regain this
prosperity until after the stronger por-
ton of our people become willing.
through patience and manly toll in the
useful and productive arts of life, to
earn every dollar they received. Our
young men must learn that they cannot
with impunity, ignore the lower rounds
of the ladder on which their fathers
climbed with patient, toilng steps, and
come to property and reputation with a
bound. Ia manly occupation and man
ly independence only can be laid the
foundation of honorable, permanent pros
perity. The proprietors of the soil
stand and sit at the basis Of all society.
and, as remarked by one Of our leading
statesmen in another State the other
day, are the guiding and controlling in
iluence in the government 1t is a great
responsibility, and wish it were every
where fully appreciated"

WHEN two veteran gamblers spend
whole night in trying to cheat each
other, it is not easy to find out who
has been the most swindled. This
seems to have been the case with the
Tilden and Anti-TiIden parties at SYRIA
cuse. Even the organs of the respec-
tive factions have not vet been able to
figure up accurately the losses sustain
ed by each side And it will take some
time to find out whether alleged gains
were not losses. For instance. the Til

THERE is no State in the Union whose
political fluctuations are less susceptible
of calculation beforehand than those of
Ohio. Great changes take place even
between the October and November
elections. For instance, in 1872 the

October, and 3i,26s majority in No
vember, one Of the most remarkable
cases of the rapid increase of MAORI
ty ever known in the history of our pol

had a majority Of 1902, but in 1873
