CINCINNATI, July 15.-The United
States Circuit Court to-day confirmed

ledo, Cincinnati & st. Louis railroad in
Ohio, subject to payment provided by
the terms of sale, to be paid prior to the
first mortgage claims and subject to the

mortgage. The Master Commissioner
was ordered to make report on the
10Th of such claims of this kind as are
not disputed. Receiver Craig resigned
the receivership of the Cincinnati

SWEARING AFTER PRAYER.
The Curious Mistake Religious La
dy Made in the Custom House.

Z An elderly lady with delicate features,
and refined manners entered the New
York Custom House with timid steps.
It was evident that she had never been
there before, and she seemed bewild-
cred by the whirI, hustle and clatter of
the rotunda. The doorkeeper directed
her to the desk where she could transact
her business. This was Of a nature that
required-as i.early everything at the
Custom House does-an oath.
"You'll have to swear to this, Mad
am, ''said the Deputy Collector to the
lady. Her pious countenance became
very thoughtful and troubled at the an
nouncement. She said nothing, but
anxiously watched the Deputy Collec-
tor make out her papers. This done he
said:
"Do you swear to this, madamT
The old lady had clearly made up her
mind that it was necessary for her to
pass the ordeal. So, witha sweet but
hesitating voice, she replied:
"God have mercy on me-Damn it"
The Deputy Collector was dumb
founded by this reply, but a glance at
the lady assured him of her sincerity.
She had mistaken swearing" for pro-
family, and had actually believed that it
was necessary for her to utter "swear
word' in order to get her papers.

THE Republican panic has extended
to the Blaine family. Mr.. Emmons
Blaine, son of James q. Blaine, was in
terviewed in Syracuse the other even
ing, and betrayed rather sad state Of
affairs in the Maine household. When
asked how his father would view the
nomination of Mr.. Cleveland, he said:
"There are other men whom he would
rather have in the field against him
than Gov. Cleveland"
"Your father thinks that Cleveland
will make a strong run for PRESIDENT"
"He would rather have seen any man
mentioned in the Chicago Democratic
Convention nominated than the New
York Governor
"What do you think Of Cleveland's Is
prospects through the eWest?"
'"They are as good as any Democrats
prospects could be. There will be a
hard fight in Ohio, New York and Con-
necticut."
It is not understood, however, that
Emmons will join the bolters. He will
60 down with the old man.

A dispatch from Columbus, Ohio,
states that the Ohio Coal Exchange has
imported large numbers of Italians and
Hungarians to take the place of the 81
600 American miners now on lockout
in the Hooking valley. Coal is pro-
tected by a heavy tariff duty, and coal
operators combine to keep up stiff
prices, but when wageworkers kick
against reduction of wages, or COM
bine to get better wages, they are bull
dozed by Pinkerton's sharpshooters, as
they are in the Hooking valley to-day,
and italian and Hungarian pauper la
borers are imported to supply their
places. The wages paid to American
miners in the Hooking valley is seventy
cents day. Protection, forsooth! J. Val.

1--WE ARE BUT SEVEN"
Graphic Story of the Greeley Rescue.
A CHASTITY Sight-Lying in Each 9th
ers Arms to Die-Greely's Shriv-
eIed Form---Crying for Food.

ST. JoHN's, July 1S.-Norman, the ice
pilot of the Thetis, who was the first
man to enter Greely's camp, gives the
following graphic report of the rescue:
At 8 O'clock on the evening of June %,
having found records previously three
miles north of. Cape Sabine, we pro-
ceeded in the steam launch to spot in
dicated as the camping ground of the
Greely party. AS we approached with
in two yards of the shore we saw man
staggering down the hillside. He had
a small flag in his hand attached to
which was a piece of handkerchief.
This he feebly waved. As soon as the
steam launch struck the shore, Capt.
Ash, of the Bear, and myself jumped on
the shore. The man proved to be Long,
one of the Greedy party. He wore
haggard, gastly look, and was scarcely
able to stand. He muttered out his
words. We asked him how all hands
were. He replied: "There are seven
of us left" ran up Immediately to the
place where he pointed out the camp.
Capt. Ash and Lieut.. Colwell went
back to the launch to bring some penn
mican biscuits and some stimulating
drink. When / reached within few
yards of the tent, I cried out, tsCheer
up, Greedy" as that you, Norman2'
family replied Lieut.. Geeely, who knew
my voice, although three years had
elapsed since babe him farewell i'm the
Proteus in Lady Frankling sound. A
fierce storm was blowing and the tent
had fallen on its wretched occupants.
I cut and tore it open, entered, and
there saw with horror the pale, shriv-
elled form of Greedy lying. In the mid
die of the camp, encased in sleeping
bag, was Ellison, with his hands and
feet Topped off by the frost, since the
first of the previous year. Beiderback
lay down listlessly in front of Greely.
ConnelI pointed at by his comrades as
dying, was reclining in motionless
posture on Greedy. Brainard lay down
alone under the shelter of the corner Of
the tent, and was separated from his
comrades in misfortune. Immediately
Capt. Ash, Lieut.. Caldwell and the
chief engineer arrived, and we at once
began to administer small doses of food
of the ightest description. The mer
: were at first ravenous and loudly in
sisted on getting more. We refuse tt
crafty their wishes, fearing disastrous re
suits from over eating. The launch wa
dispatched to. the steamer and brough
on shore to our aid doctors Ames ant
. Greene and Commander Schley. Pre-
parations were at once made to convey
the party on board. All the records
were gathered and everything worth
J saving carried down to the launch. W.
left nothing behind but some clothing
, and few caas ofwretched food on whicl
Greedy and his men were living fo
weeks. This consisted chiefly of scrap
{ of sealskin cut up in a small piece
3 about the size of q cent piece. It hat
been stewed and converted into o kin,
of broth, with some shrimp and sea
: weed. This repulsive stew formed tn
sole diet of Greedy and his unfortunat
comrades.

THE IRISH NOT BoLTERs.
A Voice From Kansas.

At rousing ratification meeting in
st. Marys, Kansas, Saturday night, the
following resolution was adopted unani-
mously:
Resolved, That the Irish-American
citizens represented in this ratification
meeting, having seen it represented in
Republican papers that the Irish are op-
posed to Grover Cleveland and in favor
of James G. Blaine, we take this
method of resenting the insult by
pledging ourselves to use every honest
endeavor to elect Grover Cleveland and
the Democratic ticket, and we say we
are unalterably opposed to the indorse-
ment of Minister Lowell by j. G. Blaine,
to his Mulligan method, and to his
Chief Marshal, Star Route Elkins.
This from the irish Americdn: OF the
result of the struggle-the success of the
Democratic ticket-we do not entertain
the slightest doubt. Aside altogether
from the exalted character of the can
didates it has presented to the country,
che attitude and temper of the Conven-
ten at Chicago afford the best assurance
that in this fight the Democrats
throughout the Union will be united
and in earnest and with the assistance
which, in the work of roform, they must
receive from all good citizens, of what
ever previous political leanings, they
cannot fail not only to hold all that,
in 1875, they conquered under the ''old
ticket,n but also to carry such States as
Ohio and Michigan-whicht the Repub-
licans themselves now concede to be
doubtful strong probability of
gaining such States as Wisconsin and
those of the Pacific coast. The prospect
is cheering one and its very bright
ness is not only an incitement to labor,
but an incubation of the necessity for
the most earnest work on the part
of every Democrat. .
| And this from the Plain Dealer:
CLEVELAND, o., July 81, 1884.

porters. Ifall of Sixteenth Amendment

islands q poor show of ever being Presi-
dent, and there is no doubt that the

Blaine's Farewell Address.


in his so-called Letter Of Acceptance,
indulges in denagoguery so transpar-
ent as to disgrace even a Republican
candidate for President. He truly says:
"The Agricultural interest is by far
the largest in the Nation, and is entitl-
ed in every adjustment of Revenue
Laws to the first consideration. Any
policy hostile to the fullest develop
ment of Agriculture in the United
States must be abandoned"
He then says of the farmers:
"They see plainly that during the
past twenty-four years wealth has not
been acquired in one section or by one
interest at the expense of another sec
ton or another interest. They see that
the agricultural states have made even
more rapid progress than the manu-
featuring states"
He then takes Massachusetts, and
Illinois to demonstrate the truth of his
proposition, and says:
''The farmers see that in 1850 Massa-
chusetts and Illinois had about the
same wealth-between eight and nine
hundred million dollars each-and that
| in 1880 Massachusetts, had advanced to
| twenty-six hundred millions, while
Illinois had advanced to thirty-two
hundred millions"
Look at the miserable demagoguery !:
In 1850 Massachusetts, had population
of l ,231, ,066 and Illinois had LII ,951.
In 1880 the population of Massachusetts
was 1,7S3, ,0S5-an increase in twenty
years of only 552,019; Illinois in 1880
had population of 3,077, ,S71-an in
crease in the same time of 1885, ,923-
an increase in population of nearly
three to one. 1t will thus be seen at a
glance that the increase of wealth has
not by any means been in proportion to
the increase of the population-the per
capita wealth, being in Massachusetts,
greatly in excess of Illinois. To make
it still palmer: In Massachusetts, 1,7S3,-
OS5 persons, in twenty years, accumula.
ted $2,600,OO0,0OO while in the same
time 3,077, ,S71 persons in Illinois accu.
mulated $500, 100000. Being in Mass
achusetts 81 ,45S for every individual
and in Illinois only $1,055. In othel
words, Massachusetts, gained $4,745 fol
every person added to her population
, while Illinios gained only $2,342 fol
each addition to her population.
The census reports do not stop here
with their figures. Let us see whethel
agriculture derives it's acumulation
5 from protection or from labor. Massa
| chusetts has 3,359,O79 acres of land, Ill
inois has 3l,673, ,645-the former stat
having under cultivation 2,12s,3 ,311 acre
and the latter 26,115,154 acres. In 1877
u the product of these two states was a
follows. g

1t does not require much sagacity to
see that the wealth of the West comes
from the soil and is the direct product
of labor, while the wealth of the East
is derived from enormous profits on
manufactures and the increase of sur
plus capital to which the farmers of the
West pay tribute. Nor should it be
forgotten that the increase of wealth in
the West is mainly the result Of the in
crease in the value of real estate, made
so by labor, which cannot escape being
listed for taxation, while, as everybody
knows, capital always succeeds in
smuggling from the assessing officer at
least two-thirds of its value.
By looking little farther into the CEN
sus reports we find invested in the
United States in 1,005 iron and steel
working establishments, capital of
$3.50, ,971 1884, employing 14O,975 persons
at an average pay of SLIPS cents per
day. We also find that the annual
product of this industry was worth
1896, ,557 1856, that the aggregate amount
paid labor was $55, ,476, ,785, the cost OF
raw material amounted to $l25,316, ia,
leaving as the earnings of capital $l15,-
764 1856, being little over so per cent
on every dollar invested.
In the light Of these facts, does it not
seem like mockery to talk of protection
benefiting labor and agriculture? And
is it not trifing with misery to say, al
Blaine does in his letter:
i "The Republican party has steadily
aimed to maintain just relations be
tween Labor and Capital guarding
with care the rights of eaeh." And
!, ''labor is indispensable to the creation
end profitable use of capital, and capi
tai increases the efficiency and value o
labor.n
