A Democratic paper of Indiana ig-
norantIy wonders that a Door man of
its acquaintance will persist in voting
the Republican ticket, when the Re-
publican party has made him pay
$685. per cent. more than it was
really worth for the Wo0len hat he
wore, and 71.04 per cent. more than
it was worth for the cloth coat he
was kept warm with, "calling it tar
iff." But the secret of his voting the
Republican ticket lies in the fact that
If it were not for that very tariff the
"pOOr man. could not wear the WOOL
EN- hat and cloth coat at all. Go to
Europe and see the poor mans cloth
ing there; the coarse cotton cordu-
r0ys, and moleskins, and smock-
frocks, some of them ragged at that.
Look at the poor man here, dressed
like a prince compared with his
brother there dressed so we'll, in
fact, that the foreign visitor to these
shores, being unable to distinguish
him from the capitalist by the dress,
involuntary asks, where are your
lower classes ?' Another part of the
secret is that the poor man with the
66.92 per cent. hat and II .04 per cent.
coat gets more than 100 per cent.
every day for his labor over the
wages of the laborer in other coun-
tries, and gets it solely because of
that protecting tariff to which DEM
OcratS are so averse. Ask the poor
man anywhere if he is willing to
have reduction made of 60 to 70 per
cent. on the cloth and wooden appar-
ell that he may need occasionally to
buy at the cost of reducing his every
day wages at least one-half, and see
how Indignantly he would spurn the
Democratic Free Trade offer! The
poor man votes the Republican tick
ct because he knows that the daily
wages of agricultural laborers in Eng
land are 60 cents against S1.25 here;
of mechanics, S1.35 in England
against SO here; of engineers, $1.5O
in England against S4,75 here
and so on throughout the list. The
The additional cost for all his wants
imposed by the tariff is a very small
percentage of the additional price he
can by the same tariff get for his
labor--a mere bagatelle compared
with double wages. And it is this
very thing ofdouble wages for Amer.

ingman's paradise. The only Won
der is that any workingman can be
induced to vote the Democratic ticket.

An analysis of the official returns
from eighty out of the lightweight
counties composing Ohio reveals
many surprising results. The total
vote will be about 100000. Last
year it was 627 900. and in 1880 it was
7Z9'9OO. When Foster beat Ewing in
1879 there were 670,700 votes polled.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, who has been at the trouble
to examine the returns, shows TWEEN
ty counties in the State gave an in
creased vote, and these, with few ex-
ceptlons, were all counties containing
cities of the first and second classes.
In all counties where there was an
increased vote the Democrats made
gains, except Greene county. Here
the Republicans made slight gain.
The Democratic gain in Hamilton
and Cuyahoga net about $1,000, and
gave the Democrats four Congress.
men. This oYercomes the Republic
can majority of $4,000 of last year,
and gave a majority of 5000 for the
Democrats to go into the State with.
The remaining $4,000 of the Demo-
cratic majority was gained in Toledo.
Dayton, Columbus, GAINESVILLE and
other cities. Only two Democratic
rural counties, Butler and Auglaize,
showed any considerable gains, and
these we're from 500 to 800 in each.
Of fourteen counties that show Re
publican gains, thirteen Of them are
Democrats.
This correspondent does not find
anything to Justify the talk of Ohio
having swung permanently into the
Democratic commn. With $4,000
votes in reserve. which Democratic
laundering can bring to the polls any
year, it is not safe to place Ohio per-
manently in the Democratic column.

The great Berlin professor. Du Bots

riddles of the world:
1. The nature and essence of matter
and force.
2. The origin of motion.
3. The origin of life.
4. The apparent design of nature.
S. The origin of consciousness.
6. The origin of national thought
and language.
7. The freedom of the will.
Any philosopher profound enough,
can easily guess all these little riddles,
but all the philosophers of the world
put together cannot for the life of

them all, which is this:

The Next COngr3 ss Safe.

There is hardly a possible doubt
that the next Senate will be Republic
can. There is hardly a possible doubt
that the next House will also be Re-
publican. The result in Ohio is likely
to prove blessing after all. Repub-
licans everywhere see the folly of
internal dissensiOn in the face of the
enemy, and the necessity for union
on the eve of a great battle wherein
the great issues of free elections, an
honest count, and protection to labor
are involved. They see chat what
ever chance there may be for neces-
sary reform must be sought within
the party, and not from without, and
that there is no earthly sense in bit
ing ones nose to spite ones face. The
advices from both North and South
are most encouraging, and those adj
vices are conservative and reliable.
1t is within the truth to state that the
Republican majority in the next
House will exceed that of the present.
But none the less is it the duty of
every Republican to work with re-
neWed zeal every hour until sunset
on election day, especially tor the
Congressional candidates of his party.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN, WHILST so
much is being said against Judge
Alvey, is the Hon. A. X. Syester to
be overlooked? Is he unexception-
able? Does he not at the present
time occupy position as counsellor
for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
Company at a salary of seventy five
dollars month? Is it necessary for
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Com
pany to have another Judge on our
judicial circuit identified with their
interests thereby controlling our Cir
cult Courts? We all known the bias
that has controlled one of our Judges
and if another B. & o. r.. II. Judge is
elected, IA single citizen will have very
little show to gain a lawsuit against

Sad Drowning Accident.

MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK, Oct. 26, 80.
ED. REPUBLICAN A very sad oc-
currence took place a short distance
east of here, at Lake YoughiOgheny,
on Friday morning Of last week.
Quite early in the morning Mr.. Hen
ry Lower, accompanied by three of
his sons and two other young men Of
the neighbOrhOOd, came to the lake
for the purpose of shooting ducks.
After trying in vain to kill small
clipper" they all started up the
stream except Archibald Lower, who
continued shooting, and finally sue
ceeded in killing duck. He start
ed in after it on small raft, and was
Just in the act of picking up his game
when the raft shot from under him,
pitching him into the lake. His
younger brother, who was watching
him from some distance above, called
to the Others for help; but they hay
ing gone some distance, and being on
the other side of the stream only re-
turned in time to see him sink for the
last time. Mr.. Michael Garrett and
gang Of men under his employ, who
were repairing the dam, came to their
help, but they did not succeed in
finding the body until about noon,
when the body was placed in Mr.. H.
Fl. Van Meters wagon and conveyed
to his home.
The water was not so deep but he
could have waded to shore, but the
opinion is that he was seized with
cramu and persisted before aid could
reach him. Archie was genial young
man, in the Dist year of his age.
Miss Jennie Smith passed through
her last Saturday, on her way to Ken
lucky, to attend a convention.
Mr.. G. w. Billiard and family left
for Wheeling on last Saturday.
On Tuesday Mrs. Blake, of Balti.
more, was here with her contractor,
Col. McCool, and located her cottage,
which she desires to "close in" before
winter. Hope others will follow her
example. VIDI.

4 PluckY Iowa Girl.

For some time past, says The Charlton
Patriot, Miss Joe MILAN, of this city, has
been closely watching aquarter-section Of
land in Harlan county, Nebraska, which
she was particularly anxious to call her
own, as it was not only a very desirable
tract of land, but was located between
the farms of her brother-in-law and
nephew. Unfortunately. however, it was
already prc-empted by one Of the sterner
sex, but he forfeited his right by aban-
aoning his claim for q greater length
than the law permits. Another man
pre-emptedit as a timber claim, but Miss
MILAN knew that his claim was not n
good one, as there were about forty acres
Of timber on the tract, whereas the land
laws hold that land taken as timber
claims must be destitute of timber. The
occupant, however, tested his rights in
the general land Office, and from there
TO the interior department, at Washing
ton. Before leaving Nebraska, last
Summer, to return to her home in this
city, Miss MILAN made arrangements to
have the result of the investigation at
Washington telegraphed to her as soon
as the decision was made. On Monday
of last week she received a dispatch con-
tanning tho single word Come" and
took the midnight train of that night for
the disputed territory. Owing to a tedi-

A Flower That Ernlodes.

In some seasons, says a Ceylon letterin
San Francisco Chronicle, natures great
est blossoming effort astonishes and de-
lights the traveller in presentation of the
talapat tree ~(carypha umbracelifena) in
bloom, which marvellous flower, it is
said, appears only at intervals of many
years and then bursts from its sheath
like q rocket, with a report like a small
cannon sending out immense feathery
sprays of a pale yellow or white color,
laden with an oppressive perfume.
