Poi,siosl Matters In New YORK..

NEW YORK, Oct. 3O.-The journ-
ais are filled with political matters,
which seem to Increase as election
day approaches. Last night Fred.
erick Douglass addressed the COL
ored men, whom he implored to
sustain the Republican ticket. In
Brooklyn John Kelly spoke to an
immense meeting, which Demo-
cratic journals say was packed with
Cornell Republicans. Kelly is
described as speaking well, using
the best of language, but has no
persona, magnetism.
American Mieaionary AssoeiatioU.
CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-The Ameri-
can Missionary Association this
morning heard the report of the
Committee on Church Work in the
South, showing that the increase
since 1864 has been from almost
nothing to 1900 members, all this
being accomplished in the face of
open opposition, moral apathy and
ignorance of the oppressed negro
race. A. III. Bross, of Michigan,
submitted the report of the COM
mittee to which had been referred
the papers OH China. 1t spoke
highly of the Chinese nation, dep.
recated the spirit of the anti-Chi-
nese bill, and recommended more
considerate treatment of the Chi
nese. 1t was adopted.

The Texas-Yaeils ana iis Ab4n-

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-The Times,
commenting on Yesterdays dis
patch that the Texas-P Pacific will
ask for no subsidy, says: With the
disappearance from the Congress.
ional lobby of the Texas Pacific,
the criticism to which it has been
subjected will, of course, cease.
Less Is heard of tho development
that is going on in the vast region
TO the Texas-Pacific route
than that which is quietly revolu-
affairs In the remote
Northwest, but that it is equally
re markable few careful observers
will doubt. The mineral resources
of Arizona are attracting
attention. Lower California
and Sonora are yielding their
hidden treasures to American min
ing companies. Northern Mexico
Is regarded with increasing inter.
est as field admitting of great
extension of profitable trade. The
Topeka and Santa Fe
Railroad is pushing for ward in the
valley of the Rio Grande at a pace

count Of its medicinal properties. The
ladies carefully gather and dry its
loaves for winter use. Five Or six OF
the dried leaves are stepped in every

the added flavor is said to be delicious.
The lemon verbena is used al q tonic

made with hot water and sugar, and
