Hopes of Peace at Lima.

PANAMA, Sept. 17.-Advices from Lima
state that the revolution is apparently draw
drawing to close. The III success which
attended Gen. Caceres' attack on Lima
served to dampen the ardor Of the revolu-
tionists and served to strengthen the Igelias
government. The number killed on that oc-
casion was only about $50 on both sides.
Great moral effect was caused throughout
the country by the governments success.
Signor Pacared, Italian counsel, had bis
patent Withdrawn for sympathyzing with the
revolutionary party. This is the second case
Of that kind. Caceres is at present a fugf-
tive flying from place to place, but is still
doing all in his power to injure the estab-
lished government. All his officers who were
captured viii be tried by courtmartial. The
condition Of affairs throughout the republic
seems to be regaining a normal standpoint.

THE oHIO OUTLOOK.

An editor Of one of the prominent Demo-
Cratic daily papers in Ohio wrote to friend
in ST. Paul as follows:
We are going to carry Ohio il present indlca-
tons. based on past campaigns, are not falla-
cious. Labor is discontinued aud work scarce.
wages low, wheat at the bottom, and when these
are factors in campaign the result has never
been doubtful. We are within six weeks Of an
election, and the Republican cause painfully re-
fuses 10 boom. We have all the Offices in the
state. majority OF the cities-in fact nearly all
sll of them. a majority of the counties; our
Democrats are sliye and active everywhere. We
have strong state ticket, and the Republican
who says openly his party will carry Ohio in Oc-
tober does not feel it down in his heart.
Ohio is Democ taric state outside OF the cities,
and Democratic in them. We viii, in my judg-
ment, do as well as we did last year; perhaps
better, without something occurs during the
canvass that cannot now foresee.

! In the state of New York. As the Mentor
letter writer says, the truth is, Garfield as
sured Conkling ''before the election and af-
forwards that he would not appoint Robert
son Collector of the port of New York; yet
this man Blaine, after he got into the Cabin
| ct, persuaded him to go back on his promise,
and hence the assassination. These facts
are not calculated to enthuse the friends of
the lamented President for Blaine. They
will not enthuse worth cent. So far as this
campaign is concerned the Republicans of
Lake, Geauga and Ashtabula are taking but
very lit lie interest in the fight. The treat
ment of Garfield men by Arthur and his adj
ministration has not been calculated to make
them friends but enemies instead. They
have received no favors whatever, but have
been utterly ignored in the appointments to Of
fee. The Blaineites will have to ''skin their
skunks" during this falls campaign" And
own yet, with this condition of things existing
Blaine and Logan estimate mankind from
so low standard that they expect few dol
lars and few honied words from knavish
lips will turn the scale in their favor. Out
upon such Rascals.

OBITUARY.
Death of the Late Ex-Governor Swift's
Mother.

Death of the Late Ex-Governor Swift's
Mother.
Upon Monday last, at Ravenna, Ohio, Mrs.
Eliza Swift, widow of the late DR.. Isaac
Swift, died in the eighty -fifth year of her age,
she having been born at Pittsfeld, Massa-
chusetts, January IA, 1900. She was the
eldest of the seven children of Isaac Thomp-
son, who removed to Ravenna in 1914, where
the subject of this memorial thereafter re-
sided. January Is, 1918, she was united in
marriage with DR.. Swift, who died July IA,
1874 in the eighty-ffth year of his age, he
having emigrated from Cornwall, Conn, in
1916, making the journey on horseback, with
all his effects in his saddle-bags.
Mrs. Swift was the mother of six children,
the third of whom was Governor Henry A.
Swift, of Minnesota, whose death at st. Peter
occurred in 1870, his remains being
taken to Ravenna and placed in repose by
the side of his kindred In 1926 Mrs. Swift
united with the Ravenna Congregational
church, and for a number of years had been
its oldest member. She was q woman who
possessed great strength of character, made
potent and charming by many womanly
graces. In her family she was the most de-
voted and affectionate of wives and parents,
and in large circle of friends she was be-
loved for her womanly purity and truth and
the interest she manifested in the welfare of
ALL
In 1868, with her good husband their
golden wedding was celebrated, on which
occasion Governor Swift was present, his
last visit to the family homestead with its
then unbroken circle. Though gen.
erations sped by her she kept apace
with the spirit and progress of the flying
years, taking lively interest in current
events and maintaining constantly grow
ing interest in the best thought and highest
culture of her time.
Upon pleasant street of the quiet village
for sixty years her pleasant face was seen
and her cordial greetings given which made
her the bright charm in the homestead where
peace and good will abode. The lapse of
years only served to make her more patient
and her life more and more beatitude, and
when the end came the passage from earth
to heaven was painless, and knowing neither
sickness nor struggle she entered into rest.

Chicago Exposition.

The twelfth consecutive annual interstate
exposition will be held in Chicago Septem-
Der to October is, inclusive. Except, pos
sibly, the old American institute, the Chi
cago Industrial exposition is, we believe, the
on,y organization of its class which for a
.Ong series of years has held its exhibitions
without intermission, or which has been uni
formly successful in the high character of its
display or in financial results. Having only
s173, 900 from subscriptions to its capital
stock in 1878, it has paid It's current ex-
penses, made all necessary repairs and ex-
pended over six hundred thousand dollars
on construction aud personal property ac-
counts, and is entirely out of debt to day.
The average annual attendance of visitors
paving admission is about 40e, 900 or 10, 900
per DAY for forty days. No similar organi
cation in America show any such record of
we'll deserved success. Like the CITY OF
Chicago and the northwest its progress has
been without parallel.
For the current year, we are informed,
the applications for space have been even
more numerous and urgent than ever be-
fore. The mammoth building is full to over
flowing with novel and interesting exhibits
in all departments. No pains or expense
have been spared by the management to
renderthe exhibition attractive and usefully
educational.
AL transportation lines in the northwest
will give their lowest excursion rates to Wis
itors. Admission to building, adults %
cents; children Is cents. The exhibition
viii be open every day except Sunday, from

Der aggregated s519, 900. The earnings for
the same period in 1888 were S531, 900, show
ing decrease of S12, 900.
Mr.. G. II. Warren, general passenger

Grafton. There was large bag full of them
and they weighed all the way up froGa one
pound to pound and half.
The committee of railway superintendent,
in session at Boston have examined no less
than seventeen different inventions of coup
lers. Yesterday afternoon the committee in
spected the operations of number of coup
lers in actual use. To-day the inspection
will continue.
1t is reported that proposition has been
made by eastern parties to the st. Paul Ele-
waited Railway company, to furnish an cleo
trio motor power. A little more certainty
and definiteness about the road, and same of
it completed will be required before it goes
very deeply into the motor power business.
Seventeen cars Of cattle from the Cont
mental Land Co. to Gregory, Coaley 81 Co,
left Dickinson Sept. 25; also 16 cars from
the Dickey Cattle company for Gregory,
Coaley s. Co., left the same day; also Is cars
from the Wyoming Land and Cattle COM
pany, at Mingusville, for Geo. Adams & Co.,
Chicago.
1t is alleged in St. Louis, both in and out
side of railroad circles, that passenger rates
to New York are being cut and that tickets
have been bought as low as SIS, but none
of the railroad men will acknowledge It.
Freight rates are also said to be unsteady,
and rebates and concessions arc easily OBJ
tainable.
The Northern Pacific road has issued the
following circular to agents and connecting
lines: The agency at Cinnabar, Mont, at
terminus of Rocky Mountain r. R. at Mon
tana, (National Park branch), will be dis
ontinued October I'd. On and after recent

now stands the agreement is not binding un.
I'll the amount is made good, and no new
agreement can be entered into until a set

STEVE ELKINs says, as a member of the
national Republican Committee, that ''the
election of Blaine is mere question of f.
nances." Congressman Page of California,
says, II can carry any doubtful state in the
Union with mony," Sometime since this
patriot advised raising million dollars in
Wall Street to be used in carrying Ohio, max
ing the declaration that fifty thousand votes
could be bought in Ohio for the sum of ten
dollars each. The attempt is now in pro-
gross to carry out the scheme. Blaine has
gone there, Logan has been providing about,
the Maine Postmaster is there with dead
loads of money to buy the state. 1t is well
enough to keep these facts in mind, and

LErrER FRoM NENroR.

THE Republicans on the Western Reserve
of Ohio, Garfeld's home are not enthusiast
tic for Blaine, aud in the strong Republican
counties cannot be aroused to enthusiasm
letter written By Republican residing at
Mentor makes the significant aver
ment that one great reason why
the Republicans OF the Reserve don't
enthuse in this campaign as formerly, is
found in the fact that Garfield is dead, was
killed by one of his own party. s'Garfeld's
neighbors in Mentor says the letter, "con-
tend that had not Jim Blaine been in the Cabi-
net Garfield would have been alive to-day. This
belief is shared with Republicans throughout
the Rescr We counties and is extending all
over the state. The Republicans Of Mentor
hold Blaine indirectly responsible for the kill
ing OF Garfield, and the arguments they adj
vance are plausible and susceptible Of proof -
This feeling is strong among Gar6eld;s old
neighbors who are well grounded in the be-
lex that Garfield promised Senator Conkling
lie should have voice in the appointments

EFFECTS OF REPUBLICAN M1sRUnE

EFFECTS OF REPUBLICAN MISR ULE.
Last week there were two hundred and
twenty-six failures involving the loss of
millions and the financial wreck of many
men who have hitherto stood high in their
respective communities. During the cor
responding week of last year there were only
one hundred and eighty failures.
Is it not evident that we are on the down
grade under Republican rule and is it not
about time to make radical change in the
administration of the government What
has been the cause of so many failuresa 1t
is the withdrawal from circulation of nearly
five hundred millions of dollars by the high
protective policy of the Republican party.
AS this enormous surplus increases
by continuing the burdens upon the
people, failures will increase, and when
all of the circulating medium has been paid
over to the government by way of taxes, and
locked up in its vaults, then utter and COM
plete financial ruin will be the condition OF
the country. Save yourselves while you have
the opportunity. Elect Cleveland, and the
affairs of the nation will be conducted eco
nomically, the tariff will be revised, taxes
will be lessened, money will be more abund-
| ant, and failures less frequent.
| Some will say that if the tariff is reduced
our laboring men and women will be placed
on level with the pauper labor of Europe.
This is all nonsense. 1t will always be ne
cessary to raise revenue to defray the expen-
SEES of the government, and the duties on i'm
ported articles coming in competition with
our own productions can be so levied as tc
protect our own industries, and the laborers
of this country will be able to secure good
wages, and, what is far more important tt
them, constant employment.
The cry, ''you will be placed on leve
with the paupers of Europe" is the cry Of
the demagogue, who seeks to secure
your suffrage in order to continue theil
lease of power. The country is accustomed
to hearing of failures. The unemployed men
to be found in all of our cities, the cessation
of the hum and buzz of machinery, the gen
eral paralysis of business, all these and many
other ills which afflict us, are the fruits Of
the present policy of the Republican party.
Will the people, the great source of power
in this country, vote in November to con-
tinue the Republicans in powerl

was rather weak, but sol per
per cent. higher than Thursdays close, except
for st. Paul, Lackawanna, Union Pacific and a
few Others which closed 140S per cent down.
Governments were strong and higher, railways
a fraction lower, and state securities dull The
bulls came through the Chicago wheat market
with flying colors, the market closing 1lsc
stronger than it did Thursday At Milwaukee
wheat was stronger. The opening was sc up,
and after few slight fluctuations the market
closed hi@&c up from the opening. The ST.

Professor, President seelye, of Amherst
college has evolved moral thesis, emf
nently betting a college reeluse, where
practical ideas, in meeting life's response
biliies aud accomplishments are wholly

reasons ike philosopher, but unfortunately
his premises are not founded on every day,
stubborn facts and actualities. A hypercri.i-
cal morslist ike President Seelye, rests his
argument en- what human nature ought to
be, not on what it is Thus the rezsoner
throws away the just foundation Of his aFgu-

assumptions of unsubstantial, dreamy con-
illusions. The platitudes of President Seelye,

THOSE near Mr.. Tilden, and having cog
nisance of his purposes, have known for
some time that it is his intention to make
his response to the resolutions of the Chicago
convention, the occasion of his final political
address to the country. Mr.. TIlden would
have presented his appeal to the public be-
fore this time had he been able to prepare
it. For some little time he has been gaining
in strength, and there is reason to expect
that but few days viii pass before his ap-
peal to the friends of Honest government
will be submitted. In this paper Mr.. Tilden
will eloquently advocate the election of
Grover Cleveland to the Office of which he,
himself, was robbed and defrauded. The
Republican managers have been hoping that
some circumstances would arise to prevent
this searching address from reaching the
people, so greatly do they fear its effect upon
the public mind.

THE sentimental Mr. Blaine sent an invi-

Gus on its migration in Ohio and Indiana,
the purpose being to exhibit the old man to
arouse interest in the waning Republican

is trife singular that Blaine is unable to
attract to his standard any but tattooed men.
Here is Fremont a, railway speculator I'M
