letter from Mexico TO the San Francisco
Chronicle says:
"Mexican brlgands are waking up to the
fact that their occupation is gone. Rapid
travel lays bare lives and methods that dis
tance and inaccesslbility have hitherto en-.
yeloped in a veil Of romance. Yet the old at.
mosphere still fingers protectively about few,
which accounts for tho fact that 0hurcho oil
Poto, the notorious bandit, who was captured
at Queretaro the other day, was made prisoner,
while the less famous ruiIlans were all shot.
He has as many friends In Mexico as the
James boys had In Missouri, and has escaped
the clutches OF the law again and again, uutii
he won the name OF The Mysterious Mani"
has been imprisoned in the past and made
daring escapes, as he will probably do IN the
future. One OF the secrets OF his popularity is
that his code Of honor allows no Mexican to
su1rer at his hands; while he has robbed for
tunes from unfortunate travellers, he has al
ways spared his own countrymen and has es-
pecially delighted In proving upon Spauiards.
His methods have often been original and
fearless, yet he has % also played the common
pulsation In the black heart OF this ruthless
robper beats In unwavering faithfulness and
idolatrous love for his daughter, beautiful
girl eighteen years OF age, whom he is educat-
ing In Brussels, who is ignorant OF the true
character OF her bandit father, and upon
whom he lavishes almost all the money that
comes into his hands by his system OF forced
loans. Nl
"More romantic than Churcho oil Poto 10 the
little can gather about gang OF wreckers
who were pursued aud shot less than month
ago In the State Of d durango. Tho leader OF the
band was well known to the Mexican public
by sight and through record of daring deeds
and bloody crimes. Young and boyish In ap.
pearance, handsome, dashing and so braved
and beloved by the entire clan OF Eighteen
brigands that the identity OF this chief was
never betrayed nor suspected. Tho other day
the rurales tracked them down, sent eight bull
let's through tho captains heart and destroyed
the whole band, not leaving one to tell the
story, which all Will long TO hear, as I did
when learned that the handsome bandit boy
was only bit OF successful masquerading, for
when the riddled sombrero was removed and
the bulletburnt blanket thrown aside, n
shapely form was revealed and the astonished
soldiers learned that the leader OF tleipa5es
had been a woman"

Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1884-10-28

The MOnSISG NEWS has repeatedly
called attention % the very unsatisfactory
mail facilities in this section Of Georgia
and in Florida. The main cause Of this
condition Of affairs is the schedules Of
several railroads which are the only
means Of communication with certain
parts Of the country doing business with
Savannah. In addition to this the postal
officials contribute their share towards
the trouble. on Oct. l. the scned-
ule on the East Tennessee, Virginia ana
Georgia Railroad was changed and orders
were given by Supt. Terrell, Of the Rail-
way Mail Service, TO send the mans rom
this city via Jesup. instead of by way OF
Macon. BY this arrangement mails leaN-
ing this city in the morning would be
delivered at places on the line Of that rail-
road the same day. This was very sat
isfactorv change and was hailed with de-
liglt by those interested. 1t appears,
however, that the change has not i'm
proved the mail service. The mails are
now slower in getting to places on that
road than ever. Subscribers TO the MORN
ING NEWS at Cochran, Ga, say that the
paper is four days old when it gets 70 that
town. The papers are mailed regularly
and promptly from the Office Of publiea-
ton, and their failure TO reach their desti-
nation at the proper time is the fault Of
the post Office officials who handle them
after they are mailed. The subscribers TO
the MORNING NEWS may rest assured that
nothing will be left undOne to correct the
present outrageous mail arrangements,
not only in the case under notice, but in
every other instance where they have not
the mail facilities to which they are en-

While Blaine Is mentally the superior Of
Logan, the latter does not think so, and
Mrs. Logan Is said 70 be much superior to
Mrs. Blaine. both in social rank, culture,
and especially in the tact Of making and
holding friends both for herself and her
husband.
II has been predicted that in case the
Republicans are victorious there would
be open war before the term was half
expired. Logan would spare no effort to
make himself the next President. He
would eRdeavOr to control as much

and right here the clash Of Blaine's plans
and his own would come about. The fact
that Logan has given up his modest rooms

\ Plea for a Reduction of the
Tariff.

the open letter which the Manufactur-
ers' Tariff Reform League has addressed
% Hon. George II. sharpe, Chairman Of
the Commission on Commercial Relations
with Central and South America. Is
entitled % he careful consideration OF the
commission and Of Congress.
As is well known, the aim Of the CON-
mission is to pave the way for closer COM
mercial relations between this country
and Central and South America. The
trade Of the countries south Ofus properly
belongs to US. We now enjoy a very
small share Of il. Its controlled mainly
BY England. The value Of British manu-
featured goods imported by the South
American States in 1850 was S51, 235, 600.
The value Of manufactured goods i'm
ported from the United States during the
same year was only S3,S92, 900.
Il is certain that English merchants are
not more energetic and enterprising than
those Of this country. There must be
some reason, therefore, why this great
Central and South American trade is al
most m0nopOlized by England.
The Manufacturers Tariff Reform
League shows that our manufacturers
have burdens TO bear that English manu-
facturers do not have, and that the En-
glish merchants have facilities not en-
loved BY our merchants. The league says
that among the things that operate against
Us are t1) price, t2) shipping accommoda-
ti0ns, (3) width, length, patterns, style,
packing, ETC., and { A. credit and banking
facilities.
1t is plain that the chief thing in our
way is the price. If we could compete in
price we could quickly remove all other
obstacles. The price of our goods, to a
certain extent, is fixed by our protective
tariff. For instance, in the manufacture
Of cotton goods our manufacturers are
forced to pay in excess OF what the Eng
Iish manufacturers have to pay 50 per
cent. for dyestufTs, 80 per cent. for
coal and - per cent. for machinery. In
addition to the burden imposed BY the
tariff the valuation Of fixed charges in
consequence Of inflated valuation Of fixed
capital, taxation and interest rate are so
per cent. in excess Of British charge on
manufacturing.
Notwithstanding the disadvantages IN
der which our manufacturers labor 1t
seems that they have made some Roadway
in introducing their goods into the South
American States. The success with
which they have met is almost wholly due
TO the superiority Of their manufactures.
The duty of the commission and Con-
gress is plain. Let the commission rec
Ommend reforms in the tariff and let Con-
gress act favOrably upon the recommends
ton. We cannot hope to compete with
England in South America as long as our
manufacturers have to bear the burdens
imposed BY high protective tariff.

DEMoCRACY,s GREATEST DAY.

OutpOuring of New York Merchants
1900 of Them in Line-The Men
who want an Honest Government,
and They will Vote for Cleveland and
Hendricks.
The merchants parade in New York on
Saturday was the greatest demonstration
of the kind ever seen in that city. The
following is an extract of the HeralPS
report of it:
1t was ten minutes to O'Clock when
the strains of martial music were heard
and the downtown contingent was seen
coming up Broadway, preceded by a
platoon of mounted police. The Dry
Goods Club gave one continued cheer,
which must have been heard at the City
Hall, and which was answered by the
lusty shouts of the men OF the Stock and
Petroleum Exchanges. Every window
and rOOt-top on Broadway, as far as one
could see up and down Broadway, was
filed with sight-seers, waving hats and
handkerchiefs and cheering for Cleveland.
At five minutes to the first and second
divisions of the dry goods men wheeled
into line at the rear of the companies from
down town, as the end Of the procession
passed along Broadway at Worth street.
Meantime, the third division had marched
down to Leonard street, and it too fol-
lowed on, bringing up the rear Of the
great Cleveland army.
SCENES ON THE ROUTE.
All the way up Broadway every stoop
and almost every window was packed
with spectators, while over the c0rnices
of the roofs were rows of heads whose
sole function seemed to be TO cheer. One
stoop near John street was Epacked with

The business part Of the issues Of this cam
paign must not be forgotten. The Repub-
lican press has insisted week in and week out
that Democratic success would mean great
business depression and starvation for the
workingman. Yet the Republicans have been
in power for a quarter Of a century, and at
this moment labor and business are more de-
pressed than they have ever before been. The
stock market affords no evidence Of anything
else. The announcement that Ohio had gone
Republican by q large majority was followed
BY greater depression than there had been Tor
