AN INSUFFICIENT DENIAL
From the New York World.

The Republican papers endeavor to
dispose of ex-senator Dorsey's stories of
the campaign of 1880 as lies, unworthy of
consideration.
They cannot thus evade the conse
quences of the disclosures of Republi-
can who has occupied Mr.. DOrsey's
prominent position in their party.
All they can say against Dorsey is that
he was tried on charges of defrauding the
Government in the Star-route conspiracy
But he was acquitted If he was guilty
why did not the powerful Republican
party and the Republican Administration
convict and punish him?
The Star-route business was matter of
nOtoriety before 1880. Mr.. Dorsey's
connection with it was known. Partic-
ularly was it known to James A. Gar
field, member of Congress engaged in
the Starroute Investigations.
Yet after this knowledge Dorsey was
made Secretary of the Republican Nation.

A Balloon Breaks Away and Carries the
Aeronaut Miles in the Air on the End
of a Rope Wound Around Two
Fingers-His Rescue.

PARIS, Aug. "a.
At Royan, on the Gironde NJ. Gratien, a
well-knOwn aerOnaut, was about tomake al
ascension in a hOt-air balloon called La
VidOuvillaise, last Friday MdlIe Alder.
tine, the heroine of several balloon ascen-
siOnS, was seated in the car, and NJ. Gratien
was holding in his right hand
loose coil tied to. one of the cords
that served to attach the balloon.
The air-ship unexpectedly broke loose, and
the cord, unrolling itself with lightning ra.
pldity, caught in a sort of running knot
around the first and second fingers OF
Gratiens right hand. The aeronaut was
Immediately whisked off into the air COG
meters high. In vain he tried to haul him
self up on the cord and loop it over his arm.
AftuI frantic efforts he became exhausted,
and hung at the end Of the cord suspended
solely by his two fingers, and suffering ex-
cruciating agony.
Owing to the Jerking of the balloon the
cord cut like razor through the flesh to the
bone. In that situation Gratien was car
ried to the distance of nearly four miles at
the height of 600 meters above the earth.
the situation, tainted away and sank help
less to the bottom of the car As the air in
the balloon became cool it descended but
bumped against the earth in the midst of
dense mass OF thorny shrubbery. Gratien
was not only stripped of his clothes, but his
skin was literally torn in strips from his
body as he was dragged for nearly nalf
mile through the thorny brambles. Some
peasants finally managed to CT the cord.
Gratien appeared to be a mass of wounds,
and to be near bleeding to death. Strange
to say, he did not lose consciousness for a
single instant. He suffered 10 internal in
! jury, and although his condition is critical
| he will probably recover.
When the rope was cut and the balloon
was freed from the weight of Gratien's
body, it again arose in the air carrying off
Mdlle. Albertine. By singular good fortune
it soon landed in marsh, and the lady at
last stood on terra firma. She was sorely
distressed in mind and badly scared, but
| otherwise safe and sound.

ovation by Vice President Arthur and all
the leading Republicans of the country.
Can Republicans now repudiate this
great leader of their party as 'liar" and
an "outcast" Certainly not!
Can they brush aside his charges as
unworthy of consideration?
One of these charges is that a Judge
of the SUI rene Court of the United
States holds his Office by purchase Is
this unworthy of consideration?
1t is charged that Garfield before elect
ion pledged himself to fill vacancies
which were certain to occur on the Su
preme Court bench in manner satisfac
tory TO certain interests. These interests
were largely concerned in railroad suits
before the United States Supreme Court
In consideration of the pledge thus CIV.
en- it is charged that two millionaire mon
opOlists contributed 100000 to aid
Garfields election. 1t is alleged that the
money was paid to the campsign mana
gers through the hands of ex-senator
Thomas G. Plat One vacancy occurred
and the monop0lists got their man. "
Are these charges worthy of consider
alton?
Can any more serious crimes than these
he charged against a party?
The Bench polluted; the Presidency
degraded; the purity of the elective
fran chise destroyed!
Does any one stand forward and brand
the statement as hes?
The President in whose interest the
the purchase money is paid is in the
grave. The alleged contributors of the
800, 900 are as silent as the tomb. The
Judge wraps himself in his soiIed ermine
and makes no sign. The eX Senator who
is named as the person who carried the
purchase money to indianapolis offers no
denial
Is the story, although not officially
denied, improbable?
Unfortunately it is not rendered so by
what is known of Garfeld's character.
Stanley Matthews does not stand above
suspicion. The methods of our railroad
kings are not inconsistent with the story.
Ex-senator Dorsey's statement bears
the impress of truth. If it is false, fonr
men are named who are living and who
could brand it as false viii any one of
them do so?

THE NEXT ELECTION.

Few people realize what grip the
democrats have on the next presidential
election. Indeed it is difficult to see how
they can be beaten. They will certainly
carry all the states that belonged to them
in 1890; add to these the vote of New
York, and a democratic president is
elected
1t is not generally understood even
now, how near Hancock came to the
presidency three years ago in spite of the
vast corruption fund which Garfield
raised by selling himself to Jay Gould and
other monopolists. Garfield had fifty
nine more than Hancock, apparently a
very considerable majority, but mark
upon how slender thread it hung.
Subtract New YOrk's thirty-fve electoral
votes from Gartields total of PA votes,
and add them to HancOGk's 15j and the
latter will have eleven majority. Gar
fields plurality over Hancock in the state
was only 81 900, on a total vote Of 100,
600 The democrats would have carried
the state but for the feeling of hopeless
ness engendered by the purchased repub-
lican victory in Indiana the previous
month They would have carried it but
for the treachery of John Kelly. Neither
of these causes alone might have been
sufficient, but together they were able tc
defeat them. Kelly's strength was prin-
cipaliy in New York and Kings counties
1t is suggestive fact that had these two
counties given the majOrities they did
when the party was united Hancock
would nOw be president.
New York is naturally democratic
state. The democrats had 300, 600 ma jor
ity last year They are now united Will
the republicans are divided. 1t vii
surely be democratic in 1884. If we adj
to New York the vote of Indiana anC
Connecticut, both of which were carried
by Tilden in 1876, the majority of thu
democratic candidate will be very large
II he should carry few of the othe
states which gave heavy democratic
majorities in 1882, such as Ohio AM
Pennsylvania, it would assume mammoth
proportions. At any rate the democrati
majority is likely to be so large that tn
election cannot be stolen as it was i
1875 or purchased as it was IN 1880.

Henry Irving, the English actor. who
is coming to this country shortly, made a
little speech at the close of his season at
the Lyceum theatre, London, in which
he said: This theatre will not be closed
long; for on the lst of September lady
will appear before you whose beauty and
talent have made her the favorite of
America from Maine to CaliforGia-Miss
Mary Anderson, lady to whom l am

Dor to the SOIL there is no such thlng, ne
said, as general oyer-produetlon, although
there may be special over production; the
secret is, there S production in some
thing else, and labor can not obtain work
and thus get the means of paying for the
articles 1t needs.
This state of things arises from the diff
Guilty in obtaining access to the natural
sources of land which, as the country be
comes more thckly settled, becomes a sub
ject of land monopoly. Vast tracts of land
in the West are becoming owned by few
private individuals who obtain it at small
cost and hold it: Homestead laws, which
aim at giving every man home, have, in
many instances, had just the
opposite effect. The telegraph bust
ness should be under control of
the Government. 1t would be managed
much more cLeaply, and it would to great
extent supersede the postal service. All
Improvements made in telegraphy would
then directly benefit the public. The. AS
ISOLATED Press, in connection with the West
tern Union Company, has been the means
of defeating the recent strike by influencing
the public press to take a stand adverse TO
the telegraphels. Neither capital nor labor
now gets its fair share of their joint prod
uct, the great portion going to landowners.
THE TRADE AND LABOR CONGRESS.
NEW YORK, Aug. "a
AT Tuesday mornings session OF the
Federation of Organized Trade and Labor
Unions of the United States and Canada,
the Legislative Committee appointed last
year at the Cleveland Convention reported
that encouraging progress had been made
in the formation of local unions and in
creaSing the memberships of the unions
previously formed. The report reviews the
history OF labor agitation in the past year,
and the efforts made TO obtain legislation
favorable to wOrkmgmen. Ii was recon-
mended that a prize of fifty dollars be
offered for the best essay on Trades Unions
and Strikes" 1t was also suggested that
steps be taken to secure harmony and una
nimity among all the trade and labor organi-
cations of the country.
The Secretary was instructed to send a
letter to the next national conventions OF the
great political parties, setting forth the de-
mands of the workingmen. A resolution
fayoring the establishment of Government
Postal Telegraph system was adopted. The
| Executive Committee was instructed to
communicate with all national and inter
| national trades and labor organ
iZatiOns, with view of obtaining
basis by which more
| through unanmity might be secured. Mrs.
| Charlotte Smith and f. II. Foster and Fred
Blend were appointed committee to adj
dress letter to the working women of the
country, urging the IN to unite for self
| protection. Thanks were voted Senators

OPERATIONS OF THE FRENCH FORCES.
LONDON, Aug. "a.
The Times correspondent at Hong
Kong, referring to the movement of the
French in Tonquin says the enemy Is
mainly composed of Chinese, armed
with Remington rifles. General B0uet
commanded the left column Of the
French troops. 1t is believed that the
enemy's loss was small The French
physicians complain of want OF medicine
and stores. The operations of the French
have been stopped for the present, the num-
Der of troops being insufficient to attack
SOntay and Bacnmh, which are the strong
est positions in the Delta The repulse of
the French disheartened them and encOur-
aged the enemy. Four thousand native
Christians are being armed.
A SENSATIONAL ARTICLE.
The article of the North German Gazette
referring to the attacks of the French
journals on Germany, and declaring that
France alone threatens the peace OF Europe,
startled Paris, alarmed Europe and caused
prices on the Bourses of Paris, Vienna and
Berlin TO fall The press everywhere ex-
press surprise at the Gdzette's attack
on France and wonder as to what
the object is. The French pa
pers repel the charges contained
in the article, and intimate that France is
better prepared now to to say that Bismarck
is seeking pretext for quarrel or for the
imposition OF fresh army burdens. The
Austrian press asks if the article means
