people were represented, each sharing
equally In the division. Everybody
was satisfied with the result, excepting
one or two professional and chronic
grumblers
The people at large say they believe
this has been the most equitable and
the most honorable distribution made
in Ness county, as no sections or fa:-
orites were given preference in the
least. All Of the northwest was repre-

GABRIELLE AND CHINESE LABOR.

General Garfield chose the right adjective when he characterized the letter on the Chi nese question said to have been written by him as stupid" forgery. Anything more stupid has rarely been pushed into political campaign MT. Barnum, who sent it out, said:
 1. The letter was mailed by General Gar field.
 ?. It was sent to Henry l.. Mercy.
 B. Who was member, and a prominent member, of the Employees Union in Lynn. 4. Henry L. Mercy died recently 5. This letter was found among his effects.
 Investigation has revealed the following facts:
 l. There was no Employees Union in Lynn in January, 1880, when the letter was said to have been sent.
 ?. There had been no organization of that nature for years previous to that date.
 3. No man named Mercy was ever con- nected with that organization while it ex- isted.
 4. As far can be ascertained, no man of that name lived in Lynn two years ago. or ever.
 But this is not all. The statement comes from Lynn, over the signatures of employees representing business of nearly ten mil lions capital, that there never was an asso- citation in Lynn called the Employers Un- ion," and that no man named Henry l.. Mercy was ever a resident of the city.
 Fortunately we are left in no doubt at this time as to General Garfeld's real attitude toward the Chinese question. In his letter of acceptance, written July 12, he said: The ma terial interests of this country, the traditions of it's settlement and the sentiment of our people have led the Government to offer the widest hospitality to emigrants who seek our shores for new and happier homes, willing to share the burdens as we'll as the benefits of our society, and intending that their pos terity shall become undistinguishable part of our population. The recent movement of the Chinese to our Pacific coast partakes but little of the qualities of such an immigra- tion, either in it's purposes or its result. It is too much like an importation to be welcomed without restriction too much like an inya- sion to be looked upon without solicitude. We cannot consent to allow any form of ser vile labor tc be introduced among us under the guise of immigration. Recognizing the gravity of this subject the present admins tration, supported by Congress, has sent to China commission of distinguished citizens for the purpose of securing such modified tion of the existing treaty as will prevent the evils likely to arise from the present situa- tion. It is confidently believed that these diplomatic negotiations wills be successful without the loss of commercial intercourse between the two powers, which promises great increase of reciprocal trade and the enlargement of our markets Should these efforts fail it will be the duty of Congress to mitigate the evils already felt, and prevent their increase by such restriction as, without violence or injustice, will place upon sure foundation the peace of our communities and the freedom and dignity of labor.

THE PARTY OF FREE TRADE.

The desperate effort to show that the Dem ocratic party is not the party of free trade is not at all successful. The facts against it are too many and too well known And prominent Democrats, even, are protesting against the unseemly exhibition which those who are ''going back on' the record and principle of the party in this matter are making of themselves Henry Watterson, the editor of the Louisville Cou7ler-JournaS, who is principally responsible for the tariff plank in the Democratic platform, is one of those Democrats who dare to assert, even in this trying hour, that the Democratic party is a free trade party. In defending his ac- ton and that of his ce-laborers in the con struetion of the platform, he calls attention to the Democratic platform of 1876, which contained the following:
 We denounce the present tariff, levied upon

Another Register Sensation.

 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Under the heading of Republican Out rages'' in the Register of yesterday an attempt was made to show that the Republican Board in Orange were denying Democratic appli- cants their rights. Alfred J. Edwards and two other Democrats were cited. The fact of these cases is, first, that the case of MT. Edwards is simply put off until Monday, Che having been notified to this effect at the tlme) in order that the Board may be better prepared to decide on the question at issue, upon which former Boards in this town had in three instances given decisions which would be adverse to the admission of MT. Ed wards
 As to the two young men being put of until next Monday, it was simply because the Board was busily engaged in the examination of several applicants who had been sworn just before the two young men appeared in the room and whose examinations were not concluded until o'clock. So long as the Register continues to publish rumors from it's political babblers in West Haven so long it's sense of justice will be likely to cause it to retract and correct as has re- gently been the case regarding West Haven political matters.

their opinions next winter than they were last session, because the restraint of a presi- dential election will not be upon them. Du- ring last winter Democrats were urged not to press tariff bills, but to permit the party's record to remain as indefinite as possible on that question until after the election Re- publican members from the West who favor free trade were induced to tacitly approve protectionist ideas for the effect that might be made in the East in the presidential elec- tion. Next winter there will no such infiu- ence at work in either party, and there will no doubt be determined effort made to pass bill providing for immediate revision of the tariff
 The hop product of this country last year was about 125, ,0OO bales, and will exceed that figure this year by 10000 or 15 GOO bales, the average weight of bale being 1So pounds Of this amount four-ffths are raised in New York State in the section of country around Utica. Of the other fifth the largest part is grown in California, though Wisconsin pro- duces few thousand bales yearly The average product of an acre of ground devot- ed to hops is 500 to 1000 pounds, though sometimes as many as 1000 pounds are grown to the acre. The average cost of raising hops, as near as can be ascertained, is 12 cents pound, so that what is realized above that figure is profit. They have been selling as high as 20 cents this year, but are now quoted at from 16 to IS cents, with few sales. Three-fourths of the cost of hop raising is in the labor, fully one-fourth being the ex- pense of picking alone. This is done al- most entirely by women and children, some women earning as much as $1OO in the four weeks the picking season lasts. For the last few years 5O,OOo bales of hops have been ex- ported annually, the yearly value being near ly $2, 50O,O0O. The brewers of this country take the rest of the crop, and also few thousand bales of imported hops from Ger many. Utica is the center of the hop grow ing interest.
