BLAINEps TRIP TO OHIO.
The Magnetic Statesman to be Made a
Part of Cincinnati's Big Show.

The Magnetic Statesman to be Made a
Part of Cineinnatrs Big Show:
Other interests, says a Washington
special, besides those of the Republican
party are to be benefited by the proposed
visit Of Blaine and Logan to Cincinnati.
Indeed, information has been received
here to the effect that the Republican
leaders did not originate the matter, but
that it was started as a scheme to put dol
lars into the pockets of various shrewd
business men, both Democrats and Re-
publicans. The parties originally most in
terested in securing the presence of the
candidates were the managers of Gin
cinnati's big show, of the rail-
roads running into that city, and
of the organization known as the
Society of the Cincinnatus. The
latter is a recently formed association,
whose object is to manage a street show
OF about the same character as the New
Orleans Mardi Gras festival. 1t occurred
to somebody that if Blaine and Logan
could be persuaded to visit Cincinnati
they would add immensely to the attrac-
lions of the exposition and the street
parade and would draw an extra crowd of
spectators, all of whom would have to
pay for their sightseeing. Steps were at
once takepstO put the brilliant scheme in
to execution. The leaders of the Blaine
forces were approached, and they fell in
with the project at once. No arguments
were needed to convince them Of the de-
STABILITY of a visit from the magnetic
statesman. Mr.. Blaine's trip to OHIO is
thus to serve the double purpose of en-
riehing the exhibition, the Society of the
Cincinnatus, and the railway managers,
and giving the Republican leaders
chance to work up boom for the candi-
dates in a place where such an institu-
ton is sadly needed.

ITEMS or INTEREST.

THE effect of cheap interior telegraphy has
been felt most happily in France, where the
number of kilograms has multiplied in the
most extraordinary manner. Last year there
were fifty-eiGht kilograms for each lC0 inhab-
itants.
BISHOP CoxE, of Western New York, says
that during his twenty years OF observation
in that field there have been some improve
mepts in religion and morality, but the in
crease of Impiety and infdelity is. on the
whole. apDalling. 1.-The most blasphemOus
publications are circulated, frightful atheism
is uttered, and gross licentiousness abounds."
LocUsrs have lately descended like storm
upon the central provinces of Spain, and in
Cindal Real every municipal district has been
visited by the scourge. When on the wing the
locusts obscure the sun like a cloud, and in
some places trains have been obliged to wait
until the track was cleared. The winged
pests leave hardly green thing IN the dls-

THE Paris Prefecture of Police has just
issued a new order to improve the sanitary
condition of lodging houses. 1t is forbidden
to let chambers which are not of the regula-
ton height and do not supply certain guam
tity OF air to each person. Rooms with more
than four beds must possess chimney, or
other means Of ventilation. There is pro-
hibitIon against letting cellars in lodging
houses where inmates are incommoded by
having entire families in subterranean holes,
without light and air. A corps OF special IN
spectors is charged with the execution OF this
ordinance.
THE animals in the Central Park menagerie
suffered greatly during the hot weather, even
the tropical beasts and birds feeling the heat
much more than in their native jungles. The
fur bearing animals and the eagles were
most affected. The former, however, had IA
cilities for bathing which were denied to the
latter, and the Polar bear was cOnsoled for
the absence Of his native icebergs by being
cooled of every hour with refreshing stream
of water. Though the monkeys are said to
have eniOyed the heat, the fact that they did
not exhibit their usual activity seems to indi-
cafe that they, too, experienced the feeling OF
denressjon which was the common lot OF ami
mated nature. both within and without the
menagerie. during the torrid term.
SOME TIME AGO a number of students OF the

a Crime tbat Nfust he Cbecked.


The arrest Of a cOlored man at Albany,
Ga.-who, up to the date Of his arrest, had
borne a respectable character-eharged
with being at the head Of a secret society,
the members Of which were engaged IN
wrecking the train that vas taking the
Albany military to Dawson on Aug. "a,
is an event Of more than passing import
anee. The military were moving under
orders of the Governor to insure the en-
forcement Of the law in the case Of the
execution Of criminal. The crime for
which the criminal was to suffer death
was one of the most heinOus known. In
stead Of assisting the authorities in en-
forcing the law, these colored people at
tempted to murder those who were sent
to assist in enforcing the law.
The press of the country contains
almost daily accounts of fendish assaults
upon white women and girls, and pro-
badly but a small number Of the attempts
to commit this crime is given to the
public. The sufferers and their friends
prefer to hide the nameless shame. In
many instances one crime is followed by
another. The helpless and ruined victims
are not permitted to live to tell the hOrri-
bic story Of their wrongs. The South is
the scene of most cases of this crime,
but the North and West are also sufferers.
The mystery of the mutilated body Of
beautiful Elite Watson, which was for
weeks the horror of New Jersey, has been
solved by the confession of her negro
murderer. The latest outrage of this
kind was in Florida, and resulted in the
death OF the lady and the hanging of her
murderer. Georgia, however, leads all
the States in the frequency with which
the crime of rape is committed within her
borders. Twenty-four cases of this crime
are known to have occurred since Janua-
~ last. 1t is impossible to estimate how
many have been concealed. The fearful
penalty Of the law does not seem to be
any protection against the lust of negro
brutes. In several instances when an
rested these criminals have not only con-
fessed the crime with which they were
charged, but others which, until then,
had been unknown except to those who
were the sufferers. 1t is almost too much
to expect Of human nature to try such
brutes in the cold and formal way de-
manded by the law and the rules OF
court. a short rope and no mercy is the
natural inclination Of those who capture
such criminals or who are sufferers
By their acts. The popular verdict
is for their prompt execution.
The people of Georgia, however,
in the "a cases referred to, .ex-
cept in two instances, have quietly al
lowed justice to take its course instead Of
taking the law into their own hands.
Every decent white and cOlored man is
interested in uphOlding the laws, but if
the punishment Of such crimes Is to be
interfered with by negro societies and ne
gro mObs, there will soon be a condition
of affairs that will permit very little
mercy to be shown to those charged with
the crime of rape. Lynch law, as much
as it is deprecated by every civilized COM
munity, will supersede the law admins
tered by court and jury, even though the
innocent, by mistake, may sometimes suf-
fer for the deeds of the guilty.

The Eden Convention.

The Senatorial Convention at Eden yes
terday seems to have tried to see how
many ballots it could take without being
exhausted. 1t certainly made no progress
towards accomplishing the work it had in
hand.
The friends of Chatham's candidate,
knowing as they did the temper of the
delegates, would have acted with more
wisdom if they had adopted the majority
instead of the twO-thirds rule. At least,
one Of the delegates opposed to Chatham's
candidate expressed that opinion, and it
is probable that he voiced the sentiments
Of all who opposed Chatham's choice.
With the majority rule choice would
have been made on the first ballot. Now it
is not certain that the real choice
Of either the majority or of two-thirds will
be nominated. A compromise candidate
will probably be the result of the conven-
TONS work.
The country delegates ought not to feel
aggrieved at the desire Of the city dele
gates to name the candidate. The city
has so much more at stake that it seems
reasonable that the city ought to have the
naming of the Senator. The indications
are that decision will be reached to-day
before as many ballots are taken as were
taken yesterday.

Swinging Around the Circle.

Blaine apparently has great confidence
in what his admirers call his magnetism
The gOod-sized majority which the Re
publicans had in Maine is attributed
largely to Blaine's presence and manage
ment. The country will accept, proba-
bly,, without question, the statement that
TO Blaine's management the Republican
success in Maine was due, especially
since the evidence seems To be OveTwhelm-
Ing that the victory was purchased. 1t Is
not difficult matter to carry State with
money. The first thing to be determined
is the number of votes needed, and the
next is to bargain for them.
Blaine is not unfamiliar with bargains
in politics. In fact, his bargains appear
to have turned out very advantageously
for him. They turned out so well that ne
has a very handsome bank account to
draw uDon when it is desirable to put
money where it will do the most good.
A very considerable sum was put in
Maine. and now it is announced that
Blaine will soon start for Ohio. He.
doubtless. sees where he can make him.
self useful there. He is not accustomed
as he himself has said In one Of the famous
Mulligan letters, TO be a deadhead in any
enterprise.
Blaine, no doubt, hopes that his pres
enee in Ohio viii stir up some OF the en-
thusiasm that was once felt there for Car
field. It is admitted, even by Republicans,
that the Indifference as to the result Of
the October election, particularly in the
Western Reserve-Garfeld's old district
is in striking contrast to the enthusiasm
which prevailed there in the Republican
ranks in 1SS0, and in previous campaigns.
Ii remains TO be seen if money will do
as much in Ohio as it did in Maine. 1t is
probable that Blaine and his managers
will ind difficulties in their way in the
October State which were not noticeable
in the September state.
It seems, also. that Blaine is to be taken
70 Indiana and given a chance TO exert his
magnetic powers on the voters Of that
state. Before he goes there, however, he
ought TO answer the interroga-
tories which have been filed in
the libel suit which he brought
against the indianapolis Sentinel or
course, his delay in answering is not to
be construed as indicating that he can
not truthfully answer them without DAM
aging his case, but it excites a suspicion
that he is not so prompt to enter upon a
trial OF the suit as he was to bring it.
It's a question whether it is a good
policy for a Presidential candidate to ex-
hibit himself over the country. Those
who adopted that plan were defeated.
Douglass. Seymour, Greeley and others
tried it. but not with success. 1t
So be that their speeches con-
trf5uted nothing 70 their defeat.
The fitness D, things seems to indicate,
however. that cassI1af gniag is not in keep
ing with the dignify~sf.a5'f ssldential can
dfdate. In deciding Who's sftake part
in a political canvass custom appears to
have very properly drawn the line so as to
lust include Vice Presidential candi-
dates.

There is no prospect Of any political eX-
citement in this State this year. In
few. OF the counties there may be a little
str over local offices. but it viii not be
sufficient 10 attract attention outside o.
the localities interested. There is, prac-
ticalIy. no opposition to the Democratic
party. The Republicans, knowing that
they have no chance whatever Of carrying
the state for Blaine, viii not take the
trouble TO have the state canyassed, and
the Democrats are so certain that they
will have everything their own way that
they viii not bother themselves about
forming campaign clubs and holding po-
litical meetings.
In some respects this condition Of af-
fairs is a source Of satisfaction, and in
Others it is TO be regretted. It is a source
OF satisfaction for one thing, because the
attention Of IabOrers on farms and planta-
tions will not be drawn away from their
work. and. for another, because there
will be wanting the decentralization and
excuses that are closely connected with
exciting political campaigns.
The absence Of the stirring scenes Of an
exciting campaign are TO be regretted, be-
cause the people are apt to lose their in
terest in political matters, and TO be sat-
fsfed to permit inferior men to admins
ter their local. state and national affairs.
In the country districts the people depend
very largely upon the campaign orators
for their knowledge Of the issues involved
In the contest, and for their impressions
of the qualifications Of the candidates.
Some haven't the time and many haven't
the inclination to read the newspapers
closely, and, therefore, when they haven't
a chance to hear campaign speeches they
know very little Of what is going on in the
world of politics.
It's a good thing for the people to hear
their political leaders discuss live pOliti-
cal issues and show up the weak points
of the policies of the opposing parties.
Georgia has had her years Of political ex-
element, when almost every voter felt
deep interest in current political events,
but she is destined to have quiet time
this year. There will not be a contest
even for the State House offices. The
great political orators will devote their
talents to making converts in other States.
Georgia will attend almost exclusively to
gathering her crops.

THE CHOLERA IN NAPLES.
The Rapidity with Which the Victims
Die


The attack of the cholera on Italy, says
New York Sun dispatch, is now admit
ted to be far seyerer than that on France.
Almost incredible stories are told of the
rapidity with which it has carried off it's
victims. In some families four or five
members have been swept off together
An old woman and boy, falling together
in the street in Naples, were both taken
up dead; lady seized with vomiting
while at mass died on reaching home. In
fact, death in many cases has occurred
within ten minutes of the first symptoms.
Many persons have died within three or
four hours, and the fatal cases have rarely
lasted more than five or six hours.
The plague has led, according to all ac-
counts, to a revival of religious feeling
so strong that the Archbishop himself
has had to discourage religious process
sions, as tending to increase disease. The
gambling spirit has also received a great
impetus. Thus, one day fifty-twO mothers
rushed to school and took away fifty
one children, and everybody played these
numbers in the government lottery, and
all won. On another day the numbers 3,
and % correspondent to current events
in the streets, aud were played extensive
ly, and all three came cut. The result
was a loss of 1000, 900 francs by the gov
eminent, a general debauch by the lucky
inhabitants, and violent increase of the
cholera. The King is the reigning hero
of Europe, and George Augustus Sala, the
celebrated journalist, gives as one of his
many virtues that he wears in public in
Rome a low-crOwned hat.

Production and Consumption of
Cotton.


In reviewing the cotton movement and
crop of1SS3-S4 the Commercial and FiRdn-
cial Chronicle gives some very interesting
statistics on quite a number of points.
The statistics relating to the cOnsump-
ton and production of cotton, for in
stance, contain very valuable informa-
ton.
The annual increase in the cOnsump-
ton of cotton is very steady. Expressed
in 4OO-Ib. bales the average amount con-
sumed each year, throughout the world,
during the six years ending in 1S71-12
was 5.419, 600 bales. The average amount
consumed each year during the six years
ending in 1S77-7S was {, S6S, 900 bales, and
the amount consumed each year during
the six years ending in 1SS3-o4 was s, IOo,-
600 bales.
1t is interesting to note the relative in
crease of consumption in the localities
where cotton is consumed. From 1S66-6'
to 1SI1-I2 the annual consumption in
Great Britain was 2,646, 600 bales; on the
continent l. 7O3, 600 bales, and in the Uni
ted States $4,000 bales. From 1928 to
1S77-7S the annual consumption in Great
Britain was 3, 1l6,O00 bales; on the cOnti-
nent 2,271, 900 bales, and in the United
states ], As, 900 bales. From lSTS-I9 to
1888 81 the annual consumption in Great
Britain was 3, 496, 600 bales; on the conti-
nent g, O74.OOO bales, and in the United
states >, I3S, 600 bales. From these figures
itappears That increase in consumption
has been much greater in this country than
anywhere else. 1t is noticeable that our
manufacturing capacity increases as our
cotton crop increases.
The worlds supply of cotton for the
past Is years is shown by the following
figures. The bales are rated at 4OOpounds.
The average crop in the United States
from 1866 to 1872, was 8, 10000 bales,
and in all other places ,, 3S7, 900 bales.
The average crop in the United States
from 1872 TO 1873 was All, 900 bales, and In
all other localities 2,O22, 600 bales. From
1878 to 1884 the average crop in the United
States was 6, 721, 900 bales, and in all other
localities 100000. The increase in the
worlds supply of cotton, therefore, was
furnished by this country. 1t is highly
probabIe that the contributions to the
worlds supply of cotton by other coun-
tries will remain about stationary in the
future.
The demand for cotton is all the time
increasing. The increase must be sup
piled by this country. 1t is reasonable to
suppose that within the next six years
our cotton crop will reach 100000 bales.

His Paper Advocates the Election of q
Democratic President

HIS GAReE advocates the ItNSeASA - =
Democratic President.
All the Irish, says O'Donovan Rossa's
United Irishmdn, are going for the Re
publican party. So say the Irish papers
that are bought up. We make bold to tell
the Republican party the big mistake
they make in supposing that because
they purchase a few newspapers they pur-
chase the Irish vote. The Democrats are
becoming united on the Presidential can
didate, and it is very likely the Democrats
will win this time. The country seems
to be tired of the rule of the Republican
party. During its twenty-four years Of
administration the character of the nation
at home and abroad has fallen so low that
the name Of american citizen" is
thing spoken of only with contempt.
We have seen this Republican admins
tratiOn give England permission to arrest
Irishmen in the city of New York, and to
hold them in prison there because Eng
land suspected those lrisFmen had
committed some political Offense in Ire
land. We have seen the Republican adj
ministratiOn in Washington grant war
rants for the arrest of p. j. Sheridan in
New York because England suspected"
that he was connected with the killing of
two of the English Governors in Ireland.
We have seen the Republican administra-
ton in Washington give the New York
post office into the hands of English spies,
| that those spies may have the run OF let
tiers passing through the post. We see
England doing everything she likes to do
with this Republican administration OF
| ours and naturally and instinctively we
| find ourselves in the humor to arrest Eng
lands march through the channels of the
nations life.
We have lively recollection of every
administration of the Republican party
during the last six terms, and from the
| first term to the last term-frOm the day
Gen. Michael COrcOran was court-mar-
tailed for refusing to parade his regiment
| through the streets of New York in honor
of England's Prince Of Wales, to the day
the present President hOnOred the Queen
of England by presiding at the opening of
the Brooklyn bridge on her birthday, we
have seen nothing but tOadying to En-
| gland and Englishmen. That salutatiOn
| to the English flag at Yorktown looked
| like an invitation to England to lay her
wires to take charge of the cOun ry again;
| it was an insult to the memory of our
martyred dead; and for no other cause
| but because of that insult and outrage,
no American, with Irish blood or any
other manly blood In his veins, should
vote for keeping in power a party who
| thus outrage the sacred memory of those
who fought and fell for tn , freedom we
