Tho Democrats and Free Trade.

The contention between the protec-
tionists and free trade elements of the
Democratic party promises to disturb
the harmony of the brethren in the next
Congress, when they will have the low
er House all their own way.
The tariff question is now o more
prominent issue than 1t has been toE
wears past, and unless the Republicans
succeed in revising the present sGhed-
ule during the coming session the Dem
ocrats fear that they will be called up,
ON to do it, the country demanding that
some legislation on the subject be en-
acted, and then the trouble will begin
II was because of the discord in the
party that it could do nothing relative
to the tariff when it had control OF the
Forty-ffth and Forty-sixth Congresses
and Speaker Randall and others, who
are compelled by reason OF having pro
tectionist constituencies, succeeded III
preventing the matter from being tully
considered and the issue squarely met,
The Free Trade factors has gained
something by the recent Democratic
victories as we'll as by the operation oil
the apportionment law, and may sue
ceed in overpoweriDg Randall.
The issues will be the principal one
in the canvass for the Speakership, al,
though Randall Is anxious that 1t shail
not he. and for that reason there IL
some doubt of RandalPs success.

Results Of u ester days Storm.

A very severe storm ragged yesterday
morning before daylight, ct Buffalo
1t was at its height abont 3 o'clock,
when 1t was accompanied by thunder
and lightning. Signs were unhinged,
trees blown down, and the windows in
some houses blown out. The schooner
j. W. Ooan, from Erie, was driven
ashore here and totally wrecked. She
was valued at $4,000. The sShooners
Groton and A. H. Moss were also driv-
en- ashore, but no lives were lost. Two
other schooners broke loose from tow,
and are missing. All the steamboat
lines report their boats safe, so far al
known. There was q revival Of the vio'
lence Of the gale later in the morning,
and at eleven o'clock the floating aleva
tor American Giant" in the Black
well Canal was blown down. The loss
Is estimated at $4,000. The new ma,
chine shops OF the Lackawanna Rail-
road, in East Buffalo, we're also demol-
ished. The water In the river rose very
high, and many houses in the lower
part of the city were flooded. The only
casualty reported is that of boy injur'
ed by falling sign. The captain of the
propeller Fountain City, who arrived
at Detroit on Thursday night, says
there will lie heavy loss to shipping
from the gale which set In that day,
The schooner q. B. Benson, was aground
on Colchester Reef, Lake Erie, flying
signals of distress, her crew lashed to
the rigging.

Opposed TO Monopoly.

GLOUCESTER, Mass. Nov. 23, 1882
An indignation meeting of those oppos-
ed to fish monopolies was held in the
City Hall this evening. The audience
was largely made up Of fishermen and
masters of vessels. Resolutions were
presented and unanimously adopted
setting forth that an important crisis
has arisen in Gloucester; that for NUT
ual protection it is absolutely necessary
that some action be taken to retain it;
that the Boston Fish Exchange has
been broken by the manly action OF
ono firm sustained by the determined
cooperation of the fishermen; that the
New England Fish Company Is fully
az dangerous and obnoxious, having q
monopoly of the halibut trade, so that
no party could buy load of halibut
in Gloucester without the consent of
this company and its allies.
The resolutions closed with resolve
that a com mittee of twelve be chosen,
to be known as the "Committee of
Protection, to take into consideration
this state of affairs, devise some proper
remedy and secure therefor pledge Ot
support and Endorsement Of the entire
fishing industry of Gloucester.

The Water witch Fair.

With nothing special on hand last
evening q representative Of the RE-
PUBLICAN dropped ilto the Water
Witch fair, now in progress at the In
stitute Hall and was surprised at the
number OF articles displayed on the
various tables, and the number OF good
looking ladies' In attendance. The
newspaper man wandered leisurely
around for while unmolested but ne
was not thus to be left alone, and was
soon surrounded by number Of the
fair ones, with books In their hands
soliciting votes and chances on the
goods displayed. Upon refusing to
help them they would say: ooh, take 3
chance, it Is only five or ten cents. !"
"You are real mean if you DON'T" and
other expressions of q similar charac-
ter greeted him upon every hand. The
newspaper man grasped his pocket
book (Which was devoid of nickel)
with firm hand and took things calm
ly for awhile when he was again ap.
preached by several friends and he was
compelled to ''shell out" as it were; and
it was not long before be was rid OF all
loose change in his pockets. AS it was
for a good cause he did not mind 1t
and thus an hour was whiled away. The
ladies are very active in soliciting
votes and chances, and their books are
rapidly filling up, and 1t is to be hoped
that the efforts of the "Witch Boys"
will be crownedi with success. The
Fair News meets with popular favor
and it's columns are eagerly perused by
those in attendance. A number of at
fractions are offered for next week and
large crowd should be present every
evening.

ReOO. 900 stol en- from sho MAILS,

DENVER, COL, November 23.-There
Ia no doubt that the mails between
Denver and Eastern cities, particularly
New York, Cleveland and Buffalo, are
being systematically and successfully
robbed. The New York and Eastern
mail which left Denver on December
20, 1881, never reached its destination,
aud eince that time losses are almost
constantly being reported. The postal
authorities claim to have been thus far
successful as to locate the trouble east
of the Missouri River, but still the rob-
berries go on under their very eyes.
The real losses in valuableS and cur
rency can hardly be estimated, but
losses in drafts, bills of exchange and
postal money orders will aggregate
over 5000, 900. OF course these last are
lot real losses, hut Denver banks and
business houses have been forced to
make their transfers of money through
express compani es, much to their cost
and inconvenience. The more recent
robberies occurred on October Z, IL and
81 and November 7.

Arovembor Suow Srorm.

Advices from Charlottestown, Prince
Edwards Island, state that the snow
slorm on Sunday night and Monday
was very severe over the whole island.
On the railway the snow was ex-
tremely heavy and packed into ice very
quickly. Trains were stuck at several
points, and the telegraph lines betS cen
Mount Stewart and Souris were broken
in twenty places by the sleet accumula-
ting on the wires. Communication
east of ChaIlottestown was suspended
until late in the afternoon. Two Indi-
ans, named Labobe and Paul, who left
Indian Island in canoe to go to Nal.
peque, have not been seen since, and it
is supposed were caught in the snow

So,ourner TRUTHS Real Age.

From tho Christian Advocate.
Sejourner Truth has not sojourned so
long In the vale of tears as current re.
ports make out. Having heard her
spoken of as about go, IS or 30 years
ago, the recent statement that she 10
1O6 or 108 years old seemed improbable.
The Rev. Samuel j. Rogers, in the
Christian at Work of OCT. 26, has un-
raveled "the yarn," by quoting from
the narrative Of life-prepared by q
friend at her direction, when she was
in the prime of life, and her mind was
clear, and published in Boston in lb7-
the following statement: "The subject
of this biography " " was born, as
near as she can calculate, between tho
year 1897 and 1900" All the incidents
and details OF the narrative which Mr..
Rogers had before him confirm the
statement. Two or three years before
1910 she was first sold at auction for
500, being then only 9 years old. AT
her last masters she lived IL years,
beginning in 1910, and had been there
several years before she was married,
and in 1928, when the slaves were
emaucipated in New York, her children
we're small. She Is probably not more
than So years old, or at the utmost, 81.
Mr.. Rogers says very beautifully;
"DurinR the years Of the war Sojourner
was o welcome and frequent visitor to
our home, and it is because of the high
esteem in which we held her that l
would make less of her age and more
of the real nobility Of her character"

urave Defender of the HIaE KILLED.

Charles T. Vansant, who was killed
on the Pennsylvania Railroad recently,
was the hero of one of the most gallant
episodes OF the late war. He bore the
colors of his regiment at Balls Bluff,
and when, during desperate charge
his Colonel was shot, he bore him from
the field, and then returned, amid
hail of bullets, to rescue the flag. Five
times was it captured by the rebels and
regained by Vansant in hand-to-hand
struggle, At last he broke away with
the flag and reached the river. His
enemies were at his very heels, but he
plunged into she water, dived to the
botto M, placed the flag there under a
stone, and then swan 20 the other shore
and escaped. Afterward he revisited
the spot and succeeded 10 finding and
restoring to the regiment the flag he had
so desperately defended.
