"The fast Australian mails, which ar
rived in San Francisco on October 9th,
and were forwarded by special train,
arriving here ON October 18th, reached
Queenstown on the Goth. They were,
however, detained at Queenstown fog
twelve hours, for some reason at present
unknown, and therefore failed of de-

the British postal authorities displayed

1t is generally conceded that the
Democratic plan is to declare the New
York vote for Hancock, in case Cali
fornia' and Nevada are Democratic,
otherwise even this bold scheme will
fail, as without them Hancock would
probably fall short. The Democratic
managers are conceding nothing yet as
to the general result or the result in
New York, hoping to receive eneourag
ing news from California.
The official returns from 81 counties
in Indiana give Republican majority
of 4,4S9. OF the remaining eleven
counties six gave Republican majority
\ in October of 1926, and five Demo
cratic majority of 749. The counties
heard from show Democratic gain of

AN EXCITED RAG-MAN.

The DEMOCRAT Ia in receipt OF letter from
n New York paper dealer who is not wholly
unknown In New Orleans and who appears
to be excited. We Infer from the tone OF his
communication that he has seen some Of the
DEMOCRATS articles on the subject OF the
recent remarkable rise In paper and paper
material, and that he has experienced an up
heaval OF some sort in consequence. Our
correspondent Is oblging enough to believe
that we would not knowingly publish such
gross and glaring misstatements"-th mis-
statements alluded to being to the effect that
there has been corner In paper-and there
fore undertakes to set us right II he thought
we knew better 1t Is evident that he would
take very severe measures with us, but our
ignorance protects us and we are, for the
moment at least, safe.
The letter Is sufficiently long and, as they
say OF a big speech In the Legislature, ex-
hausting. It takes the ground that the ad-
vance has arisen from purely natural causes,
that the oppressed manufacturers have real
ly been making paper to accommodate the
country during the past few years. at dead
loss to themselves, and that 1t isn't much OF
an advance after all. He asks US with tears

SOCIALIsTIO LABOR PARTY.

Aprcpos Of Mr.. Ludwig Geisslor who, by
way Il only worth noticing In connection
with the idea he claims to represent 1t Is In
teresting to observe the manifestations of So
cialism which from time to time occur
throughout the country. A few days ago, In
New York, for instance the party held pub
lie meeting for the purpose Of listening to an
address from d Mr.. John Swinton, one Of the
apostles III the creed. This address took the
form Of series OF answers to propositions
propounded by the listeners at random,
rather than Of a set speech after the usual fash
ion. 1t seems. however, that Mr.. Swtnton
speaking for his party, demands an ''eaui-
table" distribution OF property among the
masses. The aecursed system" at present
pursued has, SO Mr.. Swinton claims, broken
the spirit Of men and destroyed their souls
1t being a system under which men can ac-
cumulate property only by industry, thrift
and brain work, 1t Is Of course "accursed' In
the estimation OF fellows who propose to live
by OF her means, and has thus become an OBJ
ject Of especial hate and fury to the Social
lists.
When asA-ed how he thought 1t proper to
carry his plans Into effect, Mr.. Swinton re
piled that for the rest OF the world he consii-
cred the method attempted the other day Ia
st. Petersburg the st-that L. he advocated
assassination, arson and any and every form
Of violence. For the United States, however,
