Cen Hancock on the Tariff.

NEW YORK. Oct, "a representative
OF the Patterson New York Guardian
yesterday interviewed Gen. Hancock
After some general conversation, the re-
porter said:
There is one thing. General. I desire
to speak about. The tariff question is
creating good deal of talk In Patterson.
particularly among manufacturers and
working classes. Now how ls that going
TO work?
That question. said the General. cannot
affect the manufacturing interests of the
country in the least. My election could make
indifference. either one way or the other.
There has to be a certain amount-millious
of dollars raised by a tariff that can be got
10 no other way. and THAT must certainly
give protection TO the manufacturipp
interests OF the country. The election OF
Ia Democratic president or the
election of Republican president
cannot interfere with or inhuene
that in the least. The Patterson people need
have no anxiety whatever that will ever
favor anything that interferes with the
manufacturing or industrial interests of
the country. They will have lust as much
protection under Democratic administra.
ton as under Republican. The tariff
question is local question.
The same question was brought up once
in my native place. in Pennsylvania. 1t is
q matter that the general government sell
dom cares to interfere with, and nothing
Is likely ever to be done that will interfere
with the industries of the country,

Serious Railroad Accident

HARTFORD. Oct. 9.-There was an acci-
dent on the New York and New England
Railroad. at Hop River, near Willimantic
last night. caused by a collision between
the passenger accommodation train leaving
this city last night. and an extra freight
train going west from Willimantic. The
wreck was bad one. Engineers Reagon
and Flood, and Firemen Forsyth and
will probably die. The conductor of the
freight train is said to be to blame for the
accident, as he should have held his train
at Willimantic for the passenger train to
pass.
Later-Aldrich, the conductor, is dead.

Cat tarrhal
POI s ON

Wei De Meyers Treatise on Catarrh,
explains the following important facts:
/. That Catarrhal Colds become pei-
sonous infection, at first local, and finally
constitutional.
?. That. being Constitutional. the infection il
beyond the reach OF mere local remedies.
s. That impurities in the nostriis, arc
necessarily swallowed into the ssouaach and
inhaled into the lungs, thus poisoning the
Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-urinary organs.
4. That Catarrhal virus follows the mu-
cous membrane and causes Deafness. Dyspepsia,
Chronic Diarrhea, Bronchitis, Leucorrhea
and Consumption,
5. That Smokes, Douches, Inhalstions, and
Insoluble Snuffs, cannot possibly remove in
iectious infammations from the organs named.
g. That ansantidote Tor Catarrh must pos
sess an inocu1ative affinity for, and the qualit,
Of being absorbed by, the purulens mucous

criticism, of which the following is an
extract, was not prompted by malice /:
The play Of "Stratee lists" was presen-
ted to small audience at the Opera
House last evening, about one hundred
dollar houss. 1t was advertised tocontain
nothing appertaining in any way toward
variety business, but in the first act a
Dutch comedian named Gardiner sang
one or two stale songs, and in the third
act Miss Vickers, in short clothes, also
produced one or more very old Dutch
songs. If he (Mishlsr) had advertised
some of the language made use Of dur
ing the play, he might hare had a
Madame Rentz house. We would ad-
wise more discretion in the managers
next tine.
