New YORK, Oct. 27.-The address

lican national committee with paying

his strong faith; that among the anti
temperance people he was coaruser,
and not only drank himself, put treat
ed others.
In this present canvas it has been
found out that he has appealed to
prohibitionists to desert their condi-
date (Mr Olin) and support him (La
Follette) because he Ola Follette) was
as good a prohibitionist as Olin and
the anti-prohibitionists were fighting
him for it. Among anti-prohibitiou-
lists he has appealed for support, say
ing that the prohibitionists were max
ing an especial fight on him on &C
count of his drinking propensilies.
Now the whole thing has been
brought TO focus by the indiscretion
of one of the federal Office holding
ring who are scheming to get La Fol
lette into Congress. The letter ex-
plains itself, and shows how Ii Fol-
lette is playing double" to get votes.
He is directly challenged to deny that
he has been doing this.
This letter has been published some
days and he has not denied i.
He will not do so unless it be on the
eve of election when it is too late to
publish the afhdavlts. Voters should
be on their guard. But affidavits of
parties in Darlington, Mineral Point,
Highland and Madison are IN hand
for publication if he does deny it.

A RIDICULOUS ALTITUDE.

~
There Is no more ridiculous attI-
tu1c in earth than that of the republl-
can party Of Wisconsin on the tariff
question. They were the original IN
ventors Of the declaration, "we favor
n tariff for revenue only" Now they
arc trying TO scare the people with the
idea that tie democratic party will
rum the country by reducing the
tariff to an extent necessary to raise
revenue for the purposes of govern,
ment economically administered.
Two years ago they were demanding
very considerable reduction of the
tariff. TO day they are denounoing
the democrats for an unsuccessful at
tempt to reduce it. Two years ago
Wisconsin republican senators and
members voted for % per cent re
duction of the tariff. To
day the democrats arc denounced for
voting for 20 per cent, reduction. A
few months ago the Milwaukee Sen
tinel was calling the Pennsylvania
school Of protecLIonists high tarltl
cranks" TO day that organ rs ser
vile follower of those crauks in ar
guing against reduction of the tarif.
Two years ago, several of the repub-
lican legislatures III strongly republl-
can states memOrializad congress to
put lumber on the free list. To day
republican organs are demanding the
defeat of democrats because they
have voted ID take the tariil oIf from
lumber. Two years ago a republican
president was universally applauded
for declaring The tariff too high and
inequtable and unjust. A rcpubh-
can secretary of the treasury
was applaudcd for saying
the same thing. To-day, with the re
publican party admitting tho fact that
the tariff is toe high and unjust and
irregular, the mthinkiug and any
policy to win republicans of Wiscon
sin are following Blaine like sheep
in panic in denouncing the dlmo
Gratis for Il conservative effort to re
ducc the tariff to the needs Of the reve
nue.. With the republican platform
promising tho people to reduce the
surplus" the Wisconsin republicans

FLIES AND SWALLOWS.
Two Stories to Show Their Moral
Feeling.

Feeling.
The moral feelings of animals being
interesting ss tleir intelligence, per
haps the readers of Nature would care
to hear of a curious instance that l
just now witnessed of fellow-fecling
in the common house-hy. A number
of them had collected in the top of a
window, and 1 was about TO open it
to let them out, when l saw wasp
seize one as have seen many seized
this year, but never before, though l
have often seen them feed greedily on
manned bees. The wasp was about 10
sever the head from the body of his
victim, when a fy-by no means a
large one-fung itself violently
against the captured one, trying ap-
parently to knock it away from the
wasp; It did not attack the wasp. This
was done again and again, whether
by the same fly or another could not
tell the action was SO rapid; at last the
body of the fly was knocked away.
but the wasp retained the head and
devoured it. 1t then grasped another,
and again a fly dashed at it, and
another, and another. though they
were all evidently afraid of the wasp :;
and no wonder; it seemed very fierce
and hungry. The action of the flies
was quite 1nmistakablc. l called
another person to watch it with me,
and she was as much surprised as l
was, and inclined to kill the wasp; but
thought we could spare few flies,
Notwithstanding this unexpected dis
covery of fine feeling in them, and I
would not let her disturb the balance
of nature. I was once a delighted
| witness of still more curious instance
| of fellow-feeling in some young swal-
lows. Six of thena were sitting on a
low roof. and were being fed by the
| old bird, who flew hy from time to
time, and put something into one or
two of the open beaks. Each time,
as soon as they saw the parent COM
! ing, which was some time before did,
they all stood up, whirring their wings
and chattering; all, that Is, except the
| last but one, and that seemed to be
weak and unable to rise, and so got
nothing. At last the two that fianked
1t, managed to False 1t up by putting
| their beaLs under its little white
| bosom: and then and there the dear
| little brotherly things wedged it up
between them with the prettlest air of
compassion and patronage, SO that it
had a fair chance With the others.
And it seemed quite chance which
was fed, yet all sat down apparently
contented and good-humored after
ward. 1t was q pretty sight, and !
was grieved when. some boys coming
by. they took 10 flight.

BLAINE. THE BLUNDER AND THE
BURDEN.

BLAINE, THE BLUNDER AND THE
BURDEN.
The republicans are III their hearts
curSing the midsummer readiness
which led them to dominate Blaine
After election they will assuagc some
what the bitterness Of their defeat in
venting their rage upon the element
which beloved Blaine's nomination
through at Chicago by the mere brute
force of lung tissue. Had not Blaine
been forced upon the party there
would have been no d,Sltlectiou in
New York, Massachusetts,, New Jersey
or Connecticut, rendering 1t only pos
siblc for the party to succeed by pur-
chasing votes enough to make
good the loss OF those who vote
upon conscience and conviction. But
for Blaine the giants of republicanism
in the east, now putting forth their
mighty energies to defeat the party,
would be doing their utmost TO uphold
it. But for the nomination of this
great disturber of party peace, no
wedge would have been driven into
the party to clcave it asuEdHr past all
reuui,ing.
The republican party never had 4
worse calamity than James G.. Blaine.
His greed, ambition, selGshness
and trickery have kept republic
ans by the ears for years. But
for him there would have been no
factions. no stalwartS, half breeds, no
defeat OF Folger in 1882, no rupture of
the party in New York in 1884. Dl-
rectly to his intermeddling aggres-
siveness and the quarrels, hates and
agitations engendered thereby is to be
attr outcd the great quarrel which
eliminated in the assassination of
Garfield. He has caused his party
more discord, more unseemly quarrel
ing, more abuse of its best men, moro
iNgratitude to its noblest men, more
exaltation of its worst men than any
other ton bad men in it.
And while the party is now groan-
ing and sweating under its weary bur.
den, compelled to expend milh.ns to
purchase votes in order to stand the
remotest chapce of an election of their
odious candidate, there arc already
thousands of muttered curses of the
folly that led to the nomination oi
the greatest party-splitter and discord
breeder of the age.
