Terrible Disaster Averted.

BOSTON, July 20.-The excursion
steamer, Empire State, had a narrow
escape to-day from terrible disaster.
The vessel left Boston at 1890 a. m
for trip along the north shore, hav-
ing nearly thirteen hundred passen-
gers. In returning, the inside route
between Thatcher and Rockport was
taken, and when about half way
through the channel the boat struck
ledge. The passengers were mostly
on the upper decks and no panic oc-
Cured, as the vessel Immediately
came off the rocks, having stove a
hole in her bottom, and was headed
for Gloucester, reaching that port in
half an hour. The passengers were
landed without accident and returned
to this city. The boat is fast sinking
at Gloucester wharf.
The Empire State has run in these
waters for several years, and made a
most enviable reputation as an excur-
SiOn steamer

MATTERS ROUND ABOUT WADY
HALFA.
CAIRO, July 22.-The shelkh oi
Kharjeh, in an interview, said ht
thought collision with the rebel:
probable. Colville did not consider
this would prove of sufficient impoI.
tance to make it necessary to change
plans. The messengers stated the in
habitantS of the oaS1S are now friend
ly to the English. A month ago
however, when Major Wolsley's adj.
vance guard appeared, 500 natives
offered feeble resistance, but were
quickly dispersed at sight of forty
rifles of the guard. The sheikh OF
Kharjeh informed the English officers
that the messengers of the mahdi had
passed through Kharjeh, on the way
to Tripoli. Colville expects to reach
Selimah July 26, and Wady Halfa by
the beginning of August.
GUNBOATS INCREASED.
Carlo, July 22.-The number OF
gunboats between Assoua and Wady
Halfa has largely increased.
MILITARY MOVEMENTS.
WADY HALFA, July 22.-Messen-
gers from the oasis of Wash FL
Kharjeh report that Colonel Colville
and Major Wortley, with a Bedouin
force, had arrived at BeriS, in that
oasis, after seventy days march from
Assiout, 200 miles distant. Their
horses are in good condition, notwith-
standing the great heat.
Col. Colville hoped to proceed south
ward to Selimah, July 16, nine days
journey from Kharj'h. The route
lies through the very heart of the
dtseir, and there is no water fit for
drinking. Colville's intention was to
have taken 125 men mounted on cam
els, and also camel train of one
hundred camels, carrying water suffi.
cient for ten days and food enough
for two weeks. He expected to direct
his line of march across the desert by
compass, and hoped to strike the Nile
at Ammara, some distance south of
Wady Halfa.

Mighty Mean.

A down East Yankee has been look
ing over the files of the old Kennebunk
Journal, of which James G.. Blaine was
at one time the editor, and reprints one
of Mr.. Blaine's editorials, as follows:
We need stringent laws to regulate
the Irish immigration from Europe.
" " ~ If the present abuses are not
corrected, and corrected speedily, we
shall become worse than Botany Bay;
in fact, we are worse now, for more
Irish reach here in single year than
were ever transported to the penal col
onies in ten years. And these convicts
and felons have hardly got our dust
upon their feet before they are allowed
to vote and control our elections.
And yet, with these facts, plain as the
light, demagogues will tell us that our
European immigration is nothing but
benefit to us. We hope, and we sim
cerely believe, the day is not far distant
that this whole subject will be impair
TALLY reviewed by the law making pow
er, and then the just and honorable
pride of being an American citizen will
suffer no blush from having our pater-
nal rights bestowed in full equality up
on those who are not of our household.

A Fable.

A Laboring Man whose place in O
Mine at rs cents a Day, Had been Civ.
ed to an italian Pauper at GU cents
Happened, as he was Going home to
Break the News of His misfortune to
His Wife, to meet the Republican Pro.
tective Tariff.
"You are the Very man I wish to
See," said the Laborer. II have Been
discharged From the Mine Because
wouldn't Work for less Pay than | can
Live upon, and I understand it to be
Your business to Protect me-"
"The Republican Party Told you
That, My poor Fellow" answered the
Tariff, "but it Isn't true; it is my Busi-
ness to Protect American manufactur.
ing Firms and Corporations against
foreign Competition"
"How do you Do it?"
"By a tao upon american Industry"
"What's that you say?'
'"By tax upon American Industry!
It is not My Business, therefore, to Pro.
tect You, but to tax You, sir-ttr yol!''
"You must Be mistaken; 1 never
Paid Cent of tax to You in my Life"
II perceive That you are Dupe; but
Listen to me: The company that has
just Discharged you because You would
not Agree to Work for Starvation wa
ges, enjoys my Protection against for
eign competition, Whilst you, as you
have Just experienced, haze no Protec-
ton Whatever! And this is what the
Republican Party calls Protection to
American Industry"
~ don't Quite understand You, IL
"Hold on, till I Get through. You
don't understand Yet how I Manage to
tax you. Here are two pen-knives of
exactly equal Quality and Value. One
was made in England and the Other in
this Country. L tax You SO per cent.
ad valorem on the English knife, which
adds 25 cents to it's price, and by way
of protection, the same sum is added to
the price of the American knife. In
other Words, | tax you 25 cents Upon
the Pen-knife You Pay 81. 90 for; and so
it goes with Every thing you buy. BY
depriving You thus of the Benefits Of
the free markets of the World, I Pretty
Nearly double Your living expenses.
When you Vote, therefore, For what
the Republicans Call protection to
American Industry, you Simply Vote q
tariff tax OF 4O per cent. upon your liv-
ing Expenses If You Earn $500 in a
year, $l20 oft goes for tariff tax! The
laborer has no protection Under the Re-
publican tariff policy; ON the contrary,
he is Oppressed and Robbed by it.
Don't you know that the Men who
Employ Labor in this country, alaOdys
bargain aOtth its Necessities? You will
be Compelled to 60 to work again very
soon and to take whatever you can Get
for it; and no matter how poorly you
are Paid, am certain to Get 40 per
Cent. of It'll"
"Then you tax the laborer for the
Benefit of his Employer, eh?"
"That's the Size of it, Exactly"
MORAL: The Republican Protective
Tariff, in the guise of e friend and pro-
tector of the working man, is, in fact,
his cruelest enemy and most relentless
oppressor.
Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1884-08-07

A Colorado congressman has intro
duced bill fixing an annual tax of 10
cents per head on cattle and cents per
head on sheep grazing on lands belong
ing to the United States, the taxes to
be applied to educational purposes.
This seems practical way to secure to
the people the benefit of the public
lands. But the price is too low. Ten
cents rent for 10 to 20 acres of fine
grazing land is ridiculously inadequate.
Private owners of fenced lands in Col
orado and New Mexico charge So per
head for pasturage. Why should the
people as represented by the govern
ment be expected to accept one-twen-
tieth of that sum?
