minds that he would run, and expected to
vote for him or some other distinctive can
didate anyhow, SO that the appearance Of
the letter had no effect upon the relative
vote of the two principal parties in Indiana.
NEW ALBANY.
In relation to the candidacy of Butler and
its probable effect, Hon. John o. Greene,
the Greenback nominee for Attorney Cen
eral, says: Butler will draw votes from
both parties, but it is my judgment in In
diana he will draw three from the Demo-
Gratis to one from the Republicans. and his
candidacy will defeat Cleveland. 1t is GER
tain TO lose him Indiana, New York, and
New Jersey, and secure Connecticut, Ohio,
and California for Blaine beyond perad-
venture. The Democratic workingmen will
vote for Butler, and he will get the solid
Greenback and Anti Monopoly vote. In
this pant of Indiana Butler Will draw heavily
from the Democrats. L acted with the
Democrats before uniting with the Green
back party"

DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN OPINION.
Gen. Buffers declaration that he will
stand by the Greenback and Anti Monopoly
nominations is looked upon by politicians
about town as having lost its importance
from long delay, and neither patty seems to
derive any particular satisfaction from the
prospect of his drawing off part Of the Irish
and labor vote. The Republicans contend
that he can not poll very large Irish vote,
and whatever support he gets he must draw
from the regular Democratic rank and file.
The Democrats say, however, that he will
draw off the dynamite Irish, who would have
gone to Blaine had Butler not run, and
it is limited that the whole thing is
planned with the hope of throwing the
election into the House. 1t is argued that
this can be done by keeping the Irish away
from Blaine, and, the House being Demo-
cratic, Cleveland's election would thus be
assured. But it is generally admitted that
Buffers plans are too deep for the under
standing of ordinary mortals, and Secretary
Post about expresses the general feeling by
likening it to the Irishman who, being
asked by the Judge before whom he was
brought to answer to criminal charge, If
he was guilty or not guilty, replied: If
its all the same to yer Honor, L prefer to
hear the evidence before answering yer
question.
Secretard Mcpherson, of the Republican
Committee, when asked what he thought of
Buffers letter, said: He is doing with the
Democrats Just what he did with us when
he was Republican. He's regular bull
in a china shop. He has done as everybody
expected when he was SO ANONYMOUSLY
snubbed at Chicago. He'll run now as q
Labor Democrat They now have two can
didltes in the field. Butler will carry
large Democratic vote. He will take some
Democratic votes which would have gone to
Blaine, but these are few, and we are very
willing to lose them, in view of the vast
number he will get that would not have voted
for Blaine.

Washington telegram: Private advices
received from the Utah Commission at Salt
Lake City state that the late sweeping
Mormon triumph there was not unexpected,
in view of the failure of Congress last win
ter to act upon the recommendations of
the commission respecting the Edmunds
bill. Gov Ramsey, Chairman of the COM
mission, complains of the monotony at
tendant upon their duties, and the other
members seem to be disheartened because
they have not been able to accomplish any
thing beneficial in regulating polygamy in
that Territory. They feel that Congress
has not strengthened their hands as it
should have done, and that the labors of the
commission have failed in consequence.

The Blaine opinion of Buffers candidacy,
as voiced by the journal, is that if Tamma-
ny and the New York SIN support him it
settles the Presidential question in advance.
THE Republicans expect that he will draw
largely from Cleveland in New York, New
Jersey, and Connecticut, but admit that in
this State the effect of his candidacy will be
to reduce Blaine's majority"
The Democrats are thoroughly mad, and
swear all manner of things at their late idol.
At a meeting which the State Committee
held to-day to talk over the situation 1t was
said that the Butler vote in this State would
be about 10 900. On the street, however, the
estimates differ widely from that. some 60
ing as high as $4,000. 1t must be admitted
that the situation in Massachusetts, is great
ly complicated, and, with four tickets in
the field, the chances favor the field rather
than the favorite.

In an interview at Saratoga, the other

Gen. Buffers letter puts an entirely new
face on the situation. With three candi-
dates in the field the canvass will be very
much complicated.
What will be the resu,t?"
1T is too early to make predictions.
You know Butler well?"
Very well. He is very popular with the
working classes and will poll a large vote.
Wait till his letter is published; by that
time the mists will have cleared and it will
be safer to make predictions.

The effect of Buffers acceptance in this
Congressional district (the Twenty fifth

their party. There is some disaffection
among the workingmen in both parties, and
the votes of the disaffected will go to But

In the current number of the North Amer can Review the benefits of protection are dis cussed by a number of writers. One of the most notable of the articles is that by MT. John Roach, the well-known shipbuilder. England, MT. Roach points out, is for free trade in wheat, etc., for she cannot by any legislation increase hor product; also in lum Der, she cannot increase that product; and cotton, which she cannot grow herself. She is for free trade in coal and iron, for she can produce these cheaper t han any other coun- try in the world on account of her cheap la bor and the short distance that she has to haul-them. She is for free trade in ships, because she can build them cheaper than any other nation; but in running them she is the most radical protectionist in the world, for, in order to break up the shipping of other nations, she has paid over $26O, ,O00, 900 in the past thirty years-five times as much as any other nation-in the form of subsidies to break down her competitors on the seas. But the United States are very differently cir cumstanced, having practically inexhausti ble mineral wealth and boundless area for agriculture Why, asks MT. Roach, should we turn our DacKS upon Gnl6 UouuGllul pTo- vision of mineral wealth, these many fields of enterprise opened to us, or be content with exercising sur energies in 8 few fields of in dustry, as agriculture, stock-raising, and pe- troleum-e exploitation, leaving our natural resources undeveloped, and our capacity for diversified industrial pursuits unexercised! Must we not rather provide here career for every talent, and work out the problem of the highest civilization obtainable by man? 'tAn American should not have a word to say for free trade till he has thoroughly studied the resources of his own .coun- try. It were a disgrace were we to leave un- developed, like the red Indians, the vast re- sources of America; and, while we possess the gifts of nature in greater abundance than any other nation on earth, go abroad for that which by industry we may produce at home"
 This is well put. It really does not seem necessary that the people of this country should help England until they have done the best and the most that they can for them SaIves

 Children's fall costumes are in keeping with the hue of the fall foliage. Plaids in olive-green, gold-crimson and bronze are used for school dresses, with plain Jersey waists. The skirts are generally laid in broad side plaits from the waist down and the Jersey is sewed on so as to keep it down. A sash of the plaid then passes-its folds over the hips and ties in a tasteful bow in the back. White linen cuffs and plain high linen collar, caught by 8 bow of ribbon and @ little pin, complete the suit, which is to be the favorite one for school wear during both fall and winter.
 A handsome dress has just been finished by an uptown modiste. It is for little girl 10 years old and is made of wine-colored silk, en princesse. The edge has plating of the silk, which reaches one third of the length of the skirt, and over this at the sides are ar ranged little paniers that form sash in the back The front is formed into Feodora puff, caught with three rows of shirrs at the neck again just above the waist, then below the waist and ending at the top of the side pleating A bow of the silk and little turn down collar finishes the neck, and a bow of ribbon is again placed on the third TOW of shirripg.
 Jersey waists in dark-blue, wine color and black are fashionable for school wear. Many of them are embroidered in the same colors and finished in the back by bow of satin ribbons.
 Sailor blouses with plaited skirts are still in fashion for small boys not yet in trousers Cloth in all the dark shades are used for them, and sometimes gold or silver braid trim the collar and cuffs.
 Sugar-loaf hats in. crimson, dark blue and other colors are popular for school wear They have a high pointed crown and wide, rolling brim. Blue and crimson tips with long streamers of satin ribbon make pretty trimming for the red and blue ones, and brown satin ribbon for the dark brown.
 All dark colors are seen in the fall hosiery. Some of the newest are blocked in plain tints, also in plaid squares.
