ONLY ONE vote in the North and
East, the one from Delaware, was
given Mr.. Carlisle. But Mr.. Cox stood
on the same platform as Mr.. Carlisle,
with regard to the tariff, and his vote,
added to the Carlisle vote, therefore,
expresses The strength of the tariff
for-revenue principle in the caucus !:
For tariff for revenue, 1856; for PRO
lection, 55. There should be a still
greater difference than this, and there
will be whenever the people have an
opportunity to correct the wanton er-
rors of some of their representatives.
The states which gave Mr.. Carlisle, in
the caucus, a majority vote or their
entire vote, without counting the
states in which Mr.. Cox, or Cox and
Randall, had a majority, will cast POP
votes at the presidential election,
which is majority of the whole cleo
toral vote. And the states which gave
these POP votes do not include New
York, Florida, Maryland and Virginia.
Taking the congressional vote as cast
in the caucus as an indication, the
Democracy can elect their candidate
for the presidency in 1884, on the plat
form on which Mr.. Carlisle was nom
mated for speaker.

A Bride Imprisoned.

A newly-married couple going East
on the Union Pacific, last week, Gre
ated little excitement for a time.
The lady had gone to the ladies'
dressing closet to arrange her toilet.
upon entering she closed the door,
and when prepared to return to her
seat was surprised to learn that she
could not unlock the door. The train
was making about twenty miles an
hour, and of course the prisoner was
unable to make her voice heard above
the roar of the cars. In the course of
an hour the bridegroom became IN
easy and proceeded to hunt up the
missing bride. He was Mortified upon
learning that she was locked in. The
conductor was appealed to, but he
could not get the door unlocked; as
the bolt had in some way become
fastened. He informed the excited
husband that as sUcn as the train
reached the next station they would
have an employe enter through the
window and unlock the door. Stoop-
ing down to the key-hole, the fond
husband called out to the imprisoned
bride to 'he composed, dear; we will
have the door opened at the next sta
ton, and it will only be four min
utesl" Upon reaching the station the
door was unlocked and the lady liber-
ated and restored to her husband. He
acted as though the hour of her i'm
prisonment was the longest one of his

The postal telegraph bill introduced
by Senator Edmunds provides that
the heads of the state, war and post
Office departments constitute a tele-
graph board to locate four lines of
telegraph from Washington in differ
ent directions, offices to be established
along these lines and additional lines
built from time to time; rates for the
use of these lines to be established by
another board consisting of the heads
of state, treasury and postoffice de-
partments; lines to be constructed
under the direction of the secretary
of war; all telegraph clerks, opera
tors, ETC., to be selected under civil
services rules; lines to be operated
under direction of the postmaster gen.
eral. Individuals and corporations
are not prohibited from carrying on
the business of operating telegraph
lines. 1t is impossible to tell what
will oe the fate of the bill, but THE
STATESMAN, if disposed to bet, would
stake money on its defeat.

STATISTICS show that the over
grown commerce of New York city is
decreasing. The imports for the fiscal
yeer, 1928, of foreign merchandise,
aggregated $5O8, 7OO,476, and the ex-
ports of domestic merchandise, $780,
571 ,653. The total foreign commerce
is stated at 1892, ABS, 1888, although the
reader will observe that the total of
the above exports and imports makes
only $871,272, 1879. The merchandise is
said to include bullion, and the diff
ference must be ascribed to the foreign
merchandise exported, $21, 1865 Al
though the fiscal year ended five
months ago, we have not yet received
the government figures, and are
obliged to depend on those published
in the newspapers. For the preceding
fiscal year the imports of merchandise,
coin and bullion, at New York,
amounted to 1921, 275,S 1897, the exports
of domestic merchandise, coin and
bullion, to S37O, 1874, and the ex-
ports of foreign merchandise, coin and
bullion, to SIG, 162, 1927, m aking a grand
total of 1907, 936,515. The decrease is
consequently $l5,497,527.

clipping containing some words upon capital
and labor attributed to the general. The
recently predicted there would soon come an
armed contest between capital and labor, and
that the better classes are tired OF these insane
howlingS OF the lower strata and mean to st p
them. Gen. Sherman in reply, which he pub
lished in John SwintOn's paper, says: Il
in Jest. OF course it is not true, but that you
already know, because the report on its face
shows its own contradiction. l am sure the
words capital labor, gun-pOwder and arson were
never spoken. I don't think the New York
papers OF the day reported me as belligerent
as represented. But distance and time swell q
runfOr in the ratio OF cube OF distance. Our
less in their misstatements. / commend you

and you will sleep SOunder. / will gladly give

measure OF prosperity than to-day, and never
