A Sensitive Candidate.

Who Is tie meanest man you ever
saw? shouted Congressman Hatch at
the Democratic picnic at Breckenridge.
AS the speaker propounded the inter-
ogatory with a highly dramatic -four.
ish, he turned and fixed his gaze on
Gen. Marmaduke who occupied seat
on the platform. who is the meanest
man you ever saw2 he repeated, adj
dressing Col. Morehouse. Silence
was the only response. Col. Hatch
then answered his own conundrum by
saying the meanest man he ever saw
was one who deserted the ranks on the
eve of battle. As he finished the re-
ply, the crimson face of Marmaduke
flushed like the fiery glow of an Itali-
an sunset. 1t dawned on him at once
that he deserted his post in April, 1861,
when the sound of preparation for
conflict between the champions o!
freedom and slavery rang throughout
the land. He who had been educated
at the expense of the republic, and
honored with command in its. army,
dlsregarding the oath he had taken to
truly serve his country, betrayed the
trust and deserted to the enemy. Col
Hatch did not design to harrow up the
soul of Marmaduke with shadows C
the past. His purpose was to shame
thousands OF Democrats who have re-
solved to vote for Ford and dissuade
them from so doing, but the sensitive
Marmaduke made a different applica-
ton Of the metaphor. Hereafter Col.
Hatch should be more guarded in his
comments on deserters from the army.
especially in the presence ofthose who
deser ted at the most critical period o
the nations existence.

now there is an immense feet of them

ginning of February stream of ice
bergs and foes has been passing down
toward the Gulf Stream at intervals.
AT one time during the present month
seventy icebergs Of uncommon size
were visible from Signal Hill, St. Johns,
passing southwark. Some great move
ment must have occurred in the Arctic
regions of an unusual character to
cause such an abnormal disagreement
and call into existence the vast ice ar
gosies of the past seven months.

Blue Laws

The existence in Massachusetts OF
strict laws restraining the running of
trains on Sunday, is not generally
known. These laws are rigidly en-
forced, and are by no means to be
classed with what are popularity known
as the Blue Laws. which, although
they have never been repealed, are
generally regarded as dead letters.
The state authorities, however, have
been prevailed upon to allow another
Sunday train to run through the Hoo
sac tunnel, thus enabling the Wabash
railway, in connection with its new line
via Detroit, Niagara Falls. the West
Shore route and Fitchburg railway, to
run their Pullman sleepers Qeaving St.
LOUIS at 6:4o p.m.) through to Boston
every day in the week, and as a con-
cessian to western enterprise, will be
duly appreciated.

LEXINGTON, Mo-, October Joe
Shelby, an incorporating democrat
who enjoys wide acquaintance through

Your correspondent having an intima-
ton that Gen. Shelby had some ac-
quaintance with the facts regarding
Mr.. Blalne's marriage in Kentucky,
approached him on that subject. Gen.
Shelby said:
'At the time Of Mr.. Blaine's secret
marriage l was clerking in Mr.. Sam
Jackson's store on Cheapside, Lexing-
ton, KY. Mr.. Jackson, by the way, IS
father-in-law of Governor Crittenden.

calculated TO injure his standing in the

"No, Sir never No man whether
at home or abroad, enjoyed greater
confidence than he.'
How do you regard the reports
concerning his alleged improper course

Had the people in the section ofthe
country in which he resides believe
that he had been guilty of any immor-
al act he would no. be among the Pres.

you state to a crowd on the street that
you knew two gentlemen now living In

panied Mr.. Blame in a stage from
Georgetown to Lexington, thence to
Paris and thence to Millersburg, and
who witnessed Mr.. Blaine's first mar.
rage, to which he alluded in his letter
to Mr.. Phelps?'

the first families of Kentucky

No sir but if Mr.. Blaine needs any
proof of his first marriage, it can be
easily forth coming from the source

wages paid in the former was IS 40
per cent greater than the latter. To
maintain this difference In wages the
United States has protective tariff,
given to it as measure for revenue
and protection to its manufactures by
the Republican party. To keep wages
at the present standard ten years from
now, the party the in power will have
to make tariff not only against the
cheap labor of Japan, China and the
Indies.
At that time there will be but three
countries who will nave the free trade
cry that the Democrats have had for
the last half century, and these will be
China, Japan and the Indies for no Eu-
ropean country can work at Oriental

THE FATE OF DUNDEE.
Do not thing that East India conf
petition mas only an imaginary exist
ence. Ten years ago the City Of Dun
dee was the most fourishing city in
Great Britain. The manufacturing
of jute was so profitable as
to cause mills to be erected as
rapidly as possible, and in their haste
they turned cotton mills to jute mills,
so anxious were they to get the profit
of the trade. Now many of these mills
are idle and jute goods can be land
down in the City OF Dundee, goods
were manufactured in Calcutta and
shipped at a profit TO the shipper.
What has occurred with jute will occur
with cotton and other material.
PRINCIPLES PASS AWAY, BUT THE PARTY
HANGS ON THE RAGGED EDGE.
"The times were once when the
brains were out men were dead" Mo-
so with the party called Democratic
After a free-trade cry of half century
they speak of protection. "They would
wear the livery of heaven to serve :he
devil in" And now we find then
with platform which reads, dowr
South, free trade, and 'ur North, pro
lection. A protective tariff Democra
is a knave, who has Wing and Repub
lican doctrine grated on a free-tradt
carcass. He has not the honor o.
nobility to belong to party whose
principles ne would steal.
THE AMERICAN POLICY.
In view of the future what must bt
the American policy =? Just as laic
down by Mr.. BIaine--we must buile
up our own manufactures, people ou
cities, have a home market for on
wheat, and not pay, as we farmers nov
do, 1-2 cent per pound to shippers te
get our grain to distant places with :
foreign competition that ruins US.
Trade does not regard friendship
the lowest price finds the earliest buy
ers. They who argue that a protec
tive tariff will cause free trade buyel
to turn aside and pay higher price tc
. others, know but little of the law:
governing trade. Without the protec
; ton OF a tariff no great cities can exis
in the United States, unless the wage
. of labor is at the same rate as othe
great cities of the world, and as the ad
vent in the fields of agriculture, trade
. and manufactures of 5000, 900 o
Asiatlcs is now upon US, we canno
. avoid the necessity Of putting on TIT
/ armor of defense. There is nothing
inconsistent with our having a hom,
market in our great manufacturing
cities for our wheat and cotton, and a
f the same time avail ourselves of ar,
demand for these that may occur l.
t foreign countries.
