An organization is being perfected for building Il
large number Of iron steamboats,. for excursion
purposes in New York harbor ard vicinity The
enterprise, which is certainly graz i one. calls
for an Investment of about $40 900 900 The
steamers are to be built of iron and steel not ex
cepting even the decks, and are to be constructed
with compartments in such a manner that they
cannot sink They will be Of light draught but
substantial in construction. Their cost will vary
with the size, as it is proposed to have three class
es Of boats, adapted to a diversity Of purposes.
The range will be from $4,000 to S23O 900, the
latter sum providing for steamer capable of carry
ing 1000 passengers at once Several of the boats
will be built in season for the Spring trade and all
of them-a fleet of thirty-in readiness for the
Worlds Fair of 1888.

A good deal Of space in this issue of
the Journal is devoted to our brave farm
ers We call them brave, for Dryden
says, "None but the brave deserves
the fair;' and the reports of the fairs
given in other columns show that our
Waldo county farmers are eminently de-
serving. The unusual excellence of the
exhibits in all the departments this year
indicates that the labors of the husband
man have been handsomely rewarded,
and that full barns, bins and cellars are
the rule and not the exception.

THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS
Ohio Gives 20, 200 Republican Plurality
INDIANA PROBABLY REPUBLICAN,,

Voting in Ohio on Tuesday last proceeded quiet
ly in all parts of the state. Only the usual and
unimportant individual disturbances are reported.
Challenges were freely issued, and few persons
charged with attempts at repeating were arrested
at the instance of both parties. Business was sus-
pended and the general excitement was intense
In Cincinnati there were number of slight dis
turbances at the polls but except in one instance
the police were able to preserve order and that
was in the Sth ward, where the Republicans asked
| aid of the police to give them equal chance at
the polls. Two men attacked policeman and
tore off his clothes Extraordinary precautions
were taken to preserve the peace. The sheriff
organized force of special aides at each polling
place, but his authority to make arrests was not
recognized and his prisoners were not received at
the station houses. The militia called ont by
the Mayor were kept all day in the armory, and
discharged when the polls closed The vote polled
in Cincinnati was 20 per cent larger than ever
polled before, and it is thought that one of the
heaviest votes i'll the history of the State has been
pollcd Tie latest advices indicate Republican
plurality of 0,000 on the State ticket, which will
ensure the election of l3 and probably OF l5 Con
gressmen The present delegation in Congress
consists of 8 Republicans and II Democrats.

rather her heirs, in the settlement of a
pension case. This, of course, Mr. Eng
llsh Indignantly denies. The matter will
probably get into the courts. Then a
member Of Gen. Hancock's military fam
lily has authorized the publication of a
private letter, in which it is said the
Generals health is in a precarious condj-
ton, and that excitement would bring on
fatal attack Of apopleXy. But the most
serious blow the Democratic candidate
Tor the Presidency has received comes in
the gulse OF interviews, in which General

Two seasons have passed since menhaden were
taken in Maine waters. Their non-appearance on
this coast has been the subject of much specula-
ton. new theory and one that seems reasona
BILE, is that the fish have been driven from their
old feeding grounds, in shallow water, and are now
only to be found some thirty to forty miles off the
land and in deep water The whole coast line
having for the past few years been run over al
most every day by fishing vessels, the fish have
had no chance to remain in any one place for any
length of time. If this theory be correct the men

The Republican journal., 1880-10-14

The increase of malarial teyers, and
especially Of the form called intermt-
tant tevers, or fever and ague, in New
England, is attracting attention and the
State Board Of Health Of Massachusetts
IS investigating the subject. In sections
OF Connecticut and Massachusetts the
proportion Of cases to population is said
to almost equal the ague districts of the
South. 1t would be idle to speculate on
the causes which have led to the spread
OF this disease in New England, as the re-
suit of official Investigations will soon be
made known. But it is safe to say that
defective drainage and decomposing mat
ter have had much to do with it.
We give in another column, as Il mat
ter of interest to large number of our
readers, the result Of the deliberations of
the Ship Owners Convention held in Bos-
ton last week. 1t will be seen that there
was perfect unanimitv on retaining our
coastng trade for American built vessels.
The measures adopted are generally Judi
cious and deserve to be practically test
ed. The Democratic policy of free trade
in ships was decidedly condemned by this
non-poltical body, which spoke for the
merchanrile and ship building interests OF
the country.
