tleman of this city said to me recently
You see, during the ! asst congressional
campaign l was in the habit Of visiting
Jay A. Hubbell's headquarters. This man
Hutchinson, came in one night and after
ordering basket of champagne and other
necessaries, said to Hubbell-
Jay, want to buy Congressman tonight,
How much will It COST
Hubbell replied that If he had 81, 900 he
could elect VanHorn, in Missouri.
Making out his check fer the desired
amount Hutchinson said
All right.
And, my informant also stated
He repeated this performance on four OF
five occasions.
If he is nominated lively time may
be expected among "the boys" He
evidently has high contempt for the
filthy lucre where polite al stakes are
at issue and will largely invest the
aforesaid "where it will do the most
good" In fact, in an interview pub

mates as much. He says:
If nominated there nsed be no doubts about
my election. IaoiR insure that.
In other words, if necessary he will
buy his way through. He has secured
a portion of the Montgomery delega-
ton, and if Mr.. Urner fails of re-nom-
ination l believe he will receive the
Urner influence. Besides, should Mr.
Urner fail Montgomery will demand
the right, as she did in the democratic
convention come years ago, to name
the standard bearer.
Mr.. Urner is etill ahead, ard if his
own county delegates do not fail him,
will secure denomination.
Mr.. McComas is his most popular
competitor and I know has many
friends in Allegany.
1t is not at all unlikely that your
people will have the deciding vote in

The outlook for the FdU Trade,

The OatJOOH for the FdU Trade.
The financial and commercial situa-
ton still show signs Of improvement,
and this is not to be wondered at when
the condition Of the crops in this
country and in Europe respectively
is taken into account. 1t is now
known that the wheat crop will great
ly exceed that of any previous year
in the history of the country; large
cotton yield is assured, and in regard
to corn, oats, hay and other crops, the
accounts from the great producing
regions of the West are most satisfac-
tory. 1t is proverbial that good har-
vests mean large and profitable buai-
ness distributed through all the
channels of trade, and at this time,
therefore, the glowing accounts re-
ceived from the commercial and man
ufacturing centres Of the United
States create no surprise among men
of business.
The best evidence Of the growth of
general trade is afforded by the rail
road traffic, which is now unusually
heavy both East end West, and which
is fast calling into requiaition all the
rolling stock of the leading lines.
Many roads are now suffering for
want of cars, and il is to be remarked
that the fall business has only just
opened. When the farmers have done
harvesting and begin to spend the
money derived from the sale of their
crops, the country storekeeper, the
jobber and the city merchant will in
turn have a more extended maket for
their wares. The city hotels are just
now filled to rerlation with country
merchants, who are laying in their
stocks of fall and winter goods in an
ticipation of a heavy volume of busi-
ness. The buyers who are here in
vestigatins the stocks of merchandise
are buying more freely than hereto
fore, and speak in high terms of the
commercial outlook for the near future
in the Northwestern and Southwestern
States, to which sections immigration
has been chiefly directed and which
consequently have shown a relatively
greater Improvement than other Sec
tions of the country.
The condition of affairs at home, as
compared with last year, is vastly i'm
proved in all respects, and the foreign
trade of the United States has al
ready taken favorable turn. Last
year our supply of exportable pro-
ducts was deficient, while the crops
in Europe were generally much better
than an average. The position is now
reversed and a new pressure Of de-
mand is put upon us by the bad or
Indifferent harvests in various parts
of Europe. Europe's agricultural
difficulty is always Americas com.
mercial opportunity, but this year the
difficulty and the opportunity are in
creased BY the Eastern complications,
which will practically remove Egypt

TIE MILK IN The cocoANur

We reprint an article from the San
Francisco Exchange, which shows in what
estimation the Examiners scurrilous as
saults upon the Central Pacific managers
are held in that city, and which points out
that the real cause OF the Examiners anger
against the corporation is the defeat of its
owner, Hearst, at San Jose. The fact is
that this man, who is utterly unfit for any
public position, both hy reason Of his gross
ignorance and his bad character, under.
took to buy nomination for Governor.
OF course such person could only hope tc
make such bargain with the Democratic
party. He imagined that his iil-gotter
money would overcome all opposition, but
he was defeated Notwithstanding his
sack, and now he has given orders tc
his Bohemians to make war upon the rail
road company, because he affects to be
heve that it could have prevented his
disappointment. There is of course Nc
mystery about this matter. Every one al
all acquainted with politics thoroughly
understands the anjmus of Hearst's organ
1t is said that Hearst still cheriskes polit
icsl ambitions, however; that in fact he
has desire to go to the United States
Senate. We are inclined to think thai
another disaster awaits him in his new

FAILURE OF THE TAX BILL

Congress has at last fairly abandoned
the Internal Revenue bill, after tinkering
at it until nobody knew what it was like.
The many debates had upon the measure
only served to bring into high relief the
prevailing ignorance of both Republicans
and Democrats upon the questions in
volved. The kind of politicians who go
to Congress nowadays can discuss ques-
tions of machine politics from morning
to night, but their general information is
very defective, and what they are unable
to "cram upon, by hasty resort to the
Congressional Library, they are fain to let
alone. On complicated question like in
ternal revenue their inferiority was made
disagreeably plain, and probable the wisest
thing they could have done was to drop the
bill for the session,

A STUPID BLUNDEREG.

The other day the Chronicle wrote itself
down an ass by gravely asserting that the
price of American manufactures is in no
way affected by the tariff. Not content
with this achievement our venal and i'm
beetle contemporary yesterday plunged
into figures with characteristic recklessness,
and endeavored to show that the paying
off of $40, 0O0. 600 of debt by the people OF
this State in less than three years somehow
proved the Central Pacific Railroad to be
extremely wicked. Our laundering con.
temporary, however, tripped over the mi
tial proposition, and dealt with the so,
COO, 600 referred to, not as an extinguished
debt, but as the earnings of the community
during the period referred to. AS the
money was not earnings in the Chronicle,
sense, of course its deductions are alto.
gether preposterous as in fact figures Of
that kind usually are. This indeed every
school-boy knows, but journal which
thinks the tariff has no effect upon the
prices of American manufactures is idlotic
enough for any absurdity.

WHITE SAVAGES.

That is horrible and disgusting story
which comes from Arizona about the
white transfers who roasted an Apache
Indian alive. When Apaches torture their
prisoners we feel an indignation at their
cruelty which not even dispassionate

have been bred in civilized ways copy
the most revolving brutality of the In
dams it is difficult to characterize the
atrocity, with sufficient force. A white
savage is as much worse than a copper
colored one as his intelligence is higher
than that of the Indian. OF course, too,
some innocent prospector or trader will
have to bear the penalty of Indian ven
geance for this hideous act of barbarity.
