scnator sherman ON the Situation.

senator Sherman, an able man and
shrewd observer Of the signs of the times,
thinks that we are approaching Il political
crisis something Ike that which shook
England t. its foundations Il couple OF
years ago. The sectional issues are set
tied, us far a1 they can he, he thinks, and
there now remain the question of the con-
tlict between labor and capital, the tariff,
and others of equal Importance, in respect
to which both the Republican and the
Democratic parties are divided. SEN
atOr sherman does not anticipate
the formation of new parties, but
rather expects to see the recasting
of the old ones. Thus he says that,
if Mr.. Cleveland carries out the policy of
civil service reform, he will disappoint
some elements of his party. But he will
doubtless draw to himself large faction
that supported him in the last election.
If he follows out civil service reform ideas,
he will disappOint his southern cunstitu-
ents, and they will do much to cmbarrass
his administration in this direction. II
they should it is possible that four years
form now the South may be divided us to
the Presidential succcsSOn-a consumma-
ton devoutly to be wished But however
this may be, Mr.. sherman thinks that the
future Will see parties divided upon new
and great questions, instead of by an i'm
aginary line drawn through the country
below the middle States The disposition
of the revenue, the ratification or rejection
of commercial treaties and the settlement
of economic, industrial and social ques-
tions will he the light Of our future politi-

CLEVELAND AND BAYARD.


An Albany special to the 1'ribIutC says :
1T is strongly suspected here that Presi-
dent-elcct Cleveland has followed the eN-
ample OF Abraham Lincoln by Offering
the Office of secretary of State to his chief
rival at the National convention of his
party. Thomas +, Bayard of Delaware
was Mr.. Cleveand's rival, us William H.
Seward was Mr. Lincon's. Mr.. Bayard's
vote was SO much greater than that given
to any of the other Democratic candidates
that he most be considered as Mr.. Cleve-
lands only prominent opponent. Sena-
tor Bayard quietly remained in Washing
ton while the Democratic National conven-
tion was in session, and mt its close sent a
cordially worded telegram of congratula-
ton to MIR. Cleveland. At 1890 saturday
night Senator Bayard arrived at Albany
A rainstorm of great violence was prevail
ing at the time, and few railroad men,
dripping with rain, were the only persons
who saw the Senator alight from the train
They did not recognize him. Mr.. Bayard
was met at the depot by friends of the
Governor, was placed in the Governors
carriage and was taken to the executive

The New York Evening Post and the

The full vote of Tennessee like that of
Virginia and West Virginia, shows that
these States are much more nearly Re
publican, and less pronounced in their
preference for the Democracy, THANH gen
orally supposed In 1876 Tilden had 43,
600 plurality III Tennessee; in 1850 Han
cock had nearly 10000 plurality; this
year Clevelands plurality i'll Tennessee is
only 9270. The Democratic majority in
Tennessee is less than 3 per cent of the
total vote We think these figures indi-
cate that Tennessee is good, fair fighting
ground for the Republican party.

The Catholic plenary council held its
closing session at Baltimore Sunday.
The most important measures of the coun-

their positions, and the adoption of a more
democratic method for the selection of the
three names from which the bishop of a

Work on the Washington monument
was completed on Saturday. AS long ago
as 1889 the National Washington Monu-
ment Society was formed, of which Chief
Justice John Marshall was first president,
and contributions were then first received.
The corner stone was laid on the 4th of
July, 1S4S, the Hon. Robert c. Winthrop
delivering the Grafton. The work of
building went on internationally from
year to year until 1876, when Congress
was induced by much oratory and great
pressure to appropriate 100000 for the
building fund, and since then the shaft
has risen rapidly and Systematically. The
grand shaft now rises in its majesty of
SO feet of completed grandeur. On the
DIST of next February there will be Il great
celebration, upon which occasion the Hon.
Robert c. Winthrop will deliver the ora
ton The cost of the monument is esti-
mated at 81 ,13J, O00 and in plan ii is sim

square and 555 feet in height.

The latest use Of legal injunction was
the resort to it in Ohio, for the purpose of
restraining doctor in II public institu-
ton, an Orphans Home ut Xenia, from
administering to sick child medicines
which its mother did not approve as rene

as the child's nurse, to allow the prescrip
tions to be given to the patient When
the doctor and his official assistants at
tempted to compel the giving Of the medi
cines, the mother got Il lawyers help, and
procured an injunction from the court
forbidding the doctor to proceed with the

also decided that the mother had right
to employ any physician whose practice
suited her, and accordingly she put the

1t sounds strangely enough, in Vermont,
10 hear that Nebraska farmers are burn
ing corn for fuel. Yet such is the case.
They have figured the matter out to their
own satisfaction and are confident that it
is cheaper to burn corn than it is to sell it
and buy coal Soft coal is worth in that
State about twenty-five cents a bushel and
corn does not find ready sale in the rural
markets for more than twelve cents. EX-
perimentS have shown that two bushels
of corn will produce more warmth than
one bushel of coal, and farmers are thus
burning the former and saving themselves
the trouble of hauling it to market and
drawing the coal home again.

At last the British Lords have concluded
for them, as we predicted would be the
case. They have passed the franchise bill,
which gives the right to vote To two mil
lions Of men who have not hitherto en-
joyed it. 1t is II great measure and a great
step in the march of representative pro-
gress. The apportonment for members
of parliament, which is to follow. is also
very important as equalizing representa-
ton in Parliament. These measures are
great triumphs for the Liberals.
Congressman Dingley of Maine tells an
interviewer that he finds the leading
Democrats not at all enthusiastic over the
situation, but on the contrary cautious
and apprchensivc. The narrow margin by
which they won. and the many dangers
that they will not be able to maintain
their ascendancy, but brief time. As to
Mr.. Blaine, all he wants says Gov. Ding
ley is to he permitted to settle down
quietly in his home and to 90 to work
upon his book. Upon that subject he is
enthusiastic. He harbors no revengcs,
and is not embttered by disappointment.
No one has heard him say an unpleasant
or an unkindly thing of auy Republican
who opposed him. GOV. Dingley thinks
Congress will do little besides passing the
appropriation bills.

BOSTON, MASS. ,Oct,6.--A special from
Providence says that the failure Of
Emil Dahlheimer & Co. of Cincinnati
has caused much excitement among
the manufacturing jewellers Of this
city and Attleborough, who appear 10
have become involved to the extent OF
$40, 900 to $50, 600. From statements OF
those who are in position TO know,
excluding the manager of Dun's mer-
camille agency, there appears that
the whole affair was deliberately
planned swindle. July 2S last Dahl
heimer called at Dun's mercantile
agency and made showing to the
effect that he was worth from 1000
to $50, 900 in stock and fixtures and
owed between $4,000 and 5000, which
was his whole Indebtedness. He
promised to substantiate his state
ment, but failed 10 do so. 1t had al
ways been surmised that he was con-
nected with Charles j. and Joseph
Steiman, who recently failed, but he
had made positive denial. II has
since been ascertained that the denial
was untrue. Among those in this city
Of whom he bought goods who have
sent them are j. G. Richardson, At
wood & Co., William Hamilton
& Co., Cary d Williams, John
McDey, Chas. Shine, w. II. Richard
son, VIM. Butt, Ball & Babbitt and
Cameron. He ordered largely from
others who fortunately have not sent
the goods. He bought mostly plated
goods. IL was reported that 1t had
been discovered lately that he would
buy goods heavily here and almost
simultaneously sell them out West at
ten per cent. below cost. One of the
heaviest losers reported Is John Etzns-
berger OF Attleborough.
