CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS wrote a letter |
TO the Democratic meeting in New York |
on Thursday, and expressed the hope
"that proper means may be resorted to
for the purpose of securing an honest
election. free from the corruption and IN
reference of intriguing volunteers with
suasion in their pockets. A repetition OF
the events of last election would, IN my
belief, seriously shake our government to
its foundations"
FROM its turbulent beginning to the
present writing the State OF Kansas has
been a state of surprise From one end
of it the telegraph now brings us the cry
of famine, in the other end is pot-bellled
plenty. The proper thing for persons
generously disposed to do seems to be to
buv corn from the farmers in Eastern
Kansas and send it to the farmers III
Western Kansas thus establishing be-
nevolent equilibrium.

GERS and Congressman Georgia, Oct.

tor; Indiana, Oct. u, for State officers,
Congressman, and Legislature which
will choose q United States Senator;
Ohio, Oct. II, for State officers and Con-
gressmen; West Virginia, Oct. II, for
State officers and Legislature which will
choose a United States Senator. After
these five elections no more will be held

Nov. 2.
DELAY does not improve the aspect Of
affairs in Turkey. The German Ambas-
sador has labOred for four hours with the
Sultan, only to find him stubbornly re-
solved not to order the surrender Of Dull
cigno unless the naval demonstration is
abandoned. The Austrian Consul has
been trying to reason the Albanian chiefs
into submission, but they went away un-
convinced. The feebleness Of Turkey
may excuse these attempts to make mat
ters easy for her, but the interests Of
Europe will hardly warrant any further
delay in enforcing the surrender of the
Albanian village.
THE policy urged upon the Irish ten
ants by the agitatOrs and leaders in the
Land League movement is that of pas
sive resistance. Mr.. Dillon, NJ p, SCUM
ded the key note when he said in speech
that was denounced by Mr.. Forster, Sec
retary for Ireland, as cowardly anC
revolutionary: With three hundred
thousand Irishmen enrolled in the Ma
tional Land League all the armies of Eng
land could not levy rent in Ireland.
That did not mean rising in arms to b.
shot down by British bullets, but thC
pledging of every man to resist eviction
so long as he could peaceably, and whel
he was put out, to see that nobody els
was put in, SO that the property would g
to waste on the landlords hands.
A New York journal sums up the cos
of summer pleasures to the citizens O
that busy town, and shows that Cone,
Island alone has taken in ST., 1,0OO,OO
during the season. This represented 4,
100000 visitors, and an expenditure O
S2.45 per capita. The total number Q
visitors at Coney Island, Long Branch
Highlands, Rockaway, Long Beach, Gle
Island and Fort Lee is summed up at
grand total of 7,95O,OOO, and their ez
penditures, outside Of transportation, g
S14,752,0OO. To carry them the roun
trips cost $3,972,5OO more. Il is ais
estimated that several millions were COZ
sumed in excursions to remoter places

Coney Island and other adjacent spot
however, were transient sojourners j

A SOCIETY IS in operation in Philade
phia whose object it is to receive deposit
from the worthy poor in sums of te
cents, and not cIceeding one dollar, ft
the purpose Of providing fuel to the d
positors to the extent of their deposit

ulated savings are laid out by the socet
in purchasing coal in bulk from the dea

siderably less than the retail price, at Il
homes of the depositors. Last year ov

Such an association, under careful ma
agement is capable of accomplishing
good work, and the merit of it is that
encourages saving, is in consonance wi
spirit of independence, and in no tT
sense charity.
