Ouitman correspondent NEWS, Sept. Is:
The delegates from the precincts metlat the

for the next Legislature. Mr. VIM. Hopson,
of the mercantile firm of Hopson Bros, went
before the delegates and announced him.

will run In. Horton several years ago offered
for the Legisl AZURE, but received only forty
votes. One negro will not vote for another,
so we do not fear the result: but at the same

straighten out politics IN several counties and

BIaine,s Assumed Indirerence

Blaine saws that he has no fear that the
new batch of MuIligan letters will dam
Sge him. All he asks, he says, is that
people will read them through and not
take their opinions Of them from the editO-
rails of hostile journals. Blaine's organs
say that the effect of the letters was
discounted long ago, and that they show
nothing discreditable to their candidate.
No reasonable man for a moment thinks
that Blaine speaks sincerely about
the letters, or that his organs believe
what they say about them. What he and
his organs. say is simply for effect.
Nobody can read the letters and believe
that Blaine is an honest man. If the let
ter to Fisher, asking for a certificate OF
good character, was the letter of an hon.
est man, why did Blaine ask Fisher to
burn it? 1t contained no secret. Blame
wanted Fisher to say that he, Blame,
bought and paid for his Little Rock bonds
lust as others bought and paid for them.
OF course Fisher refused to say any
thing Of the kind. He had already said
in a letter to Blaine that Blaine's share
of the bonds and stock did not cost Blaine
a cent. Was it a proper thing for an
honest man to do to ask a friend to write
a deliberate falsehOOd for publication
Blaine appears to have been looking
out always, while a member Of Congress,
for ways to increase his private fortune.
His suggestion to Fisher that he could
arrange it so that he, Fisher, could have
a national bank at Little Rock, was in
keeping with his Little Rock and Fort
Smith Railroad transaction.
of course the Mulligan letter business
will damage Blaine. The question is,
How much will it damage him? There are
plenty Of Republicans who will vote for
him, firmly believing that the charges af-
fecting his official integrity are true.
They believe in standing by the party I'M
/ der all and any circumstances. There
must, however, be a very large element in
the Republican party who would rather
| see their party defeated than to have a
notorious political jObber for Presi-
dent. If Maine had known the way
| that Blaine gOuged some Of her most
prominent citizens in the Fort Smith and
Little Rock Railroad business she might
not have given the Republicans so large a
majority at the September election.

A New Theory About Yellow Fever

A New Theory About Yellow Fever.
A new theory relative to yellow fever,
it seems, has been advanced. 1t is given
In a Washington special to the Times
Democrat as follows: "The latest reports
of the United States Coast Survey on the
structure of the basin of the Gulf OF Mex
leo and the Atlantic coast from the Caro-
linas TO Rio Janeiro, are claimed by dis
tinguished authority to present a COM
plete explanation of the origin and distri-
button of yellow fever. 1t appears that
the shores of the Gulf are faced by an I'M
broken belt of shadows for the whole cir
conference Of the basin. This belt varies
in width from 90 to 40 miles, the inunda-
ton Of the tides extending at different
points from to Z miles beyond the ebb
tide water mark, 50 that on the diurnal re-
cession of the overflow a considerable
margin, covered with the flOtsam and jet
sam of the sea, is left exposed to the sub
tropical sun, generating tine nOxiOus gases
and germs concerned in the propagation
Of the disease"
The above may do very well as matter
for speculation. but it will be good while
probably before it will be accepted as
containing any truth. Before accepting
this theory OF the origin and spread of
yellow fever, it would be well to inquire
if the same conditions exist along the
shores of other countries where yellow
fever prevails. If they do not, it is hard
" probable that the shadows on the South
Atlantic and Gulf coast have any con-
nectiOn with yellow fever.

DEPRESSED INDUSTRIES.
ADuil Campaign in pennsylvania.

A Dull Campaign IN PennsylVahia'
There never was so dead campaign in
the State of Pennsylvania, says a Pitts
burg special, as this one. The bituminoUs
coal regioEs are turbulent with strikes.
Eight thousand miners are idle along the
Monongahela alone. The Edgar Thomp-
sen works, near Pittsburg, threaten
to smut down. Half the glRsswork-
ers are out of employments The
pour authorities are driven to the utmost
limits Of their means to provide against
actual want. Near by the outlook is most
grievous in every aspect, and from every
quarter, far or near, come reports Oh
wages cut down, and threats of stoppage
in the immediate future. The roads are
alive with tramps; and yet with wheat
at from 60 to IS cents a bushel, how are
the farmers going to feed the multitude OF
the idle and destitute, and provide for
themselves besides? How are the work
ingmen to be helped?

TROUT FLAKED WITH GOLD.
Where the Only Beauties of the Kind
in the World are Found.
LntLo Ln1anen6enf

The waters of Kern river, California,
and it's tributaries, excepting the head
waters of Whitney creek, are occupied by
the speckled brook trout so often found
in the streams and lakes of the Sierra,
whose meat is hard and sweet because
bred in water so fresh and cold. The
species found in the headwaters of Whit
ney creek are peculiar to that place and
creek, and are known as the 'golden
trout" They are found, as we understand
it. at no other place in the world, and
have as yet secured no scientific name.
They do not excel in delicacy of flesh
the other varieties found here, but are
noted for the beautiful color which flakes
their sides; as purely golden as if they
had been submitted to a coating OF gold foil.
This popularity of color and their distinct
species is preserved by natural barrier
existing between them and the other yarie-
ties which are found in this creek. A Sc
ries of high and rocky falls prevent other
fish from ascending and mingling with
them, and so, from generation to genera
ton, they then, have, by natural barrier,
been able to preserve their distinct char
acter.
At times some of them have descended
into the lower courses of the stream and a
mixed tribe of trout, combining the speck-
led and golden trout, has been formed,
individuals of which are often caught.

Nfr. Hendricks and ana Mest.


Perhaps no man is better qualified to
speak Of the political outlook in Indiana
than Mr.. Hendricks. He is familiar with
every part of the State, ard is thoroughly
acquainted with the sentiments OF the
people. Indiana, says Mr.. Hendricks, is
entirely safe for the Democracy. There
is no reason to doubt that his statement
will prove to be correct. Mr.. Hendricks
is very popular in Indiana, and his name
on the national ticket will be worth
thousands of votes.
The Blaine organs, day or two ago,
published statement that Senator NOOr-
bees had expressed the opinion that In
diana would 90 Republican. OF course
the statement was not believed by any
body who knew the Senator, because he
is, if possible, more confident Of a Demo
cratic victory there than Mr.. Hendricks
is. He promptly denied that he had ever
expressed or entertained such an opin-
ion, and offered to put the author Of the
falsehoOd in the penitentiary if he would
make an affidavit that he had heard him
state that Indiana would give the Repub-
licans a majority. 1t is needless to say
that no affidavit was made.
Mr.. Hendricks returned home last week
from Ohio and yesterday went to Illinois.
He is doing very effective campaign work.
His speeches are able presentations of the
issues of the campaign from the Demo
cratic standpoint. There is no compare
son between them and Gen. LOgan's eff
forts. 1t is not easy to understand why
the Republican National Committee
allows Gen. Logan to remain on the
stump. His plumbers are the occasion
for a great deal Of ridicule. For man
who has had as much experience as he
has in public affairs he displays a vast
amount of ignorance relative to the polit.
ical history of his party.
Mr.. Hendricks is sure to make votes for
the Democratic party wherever he comes
in contact with Gen. Logan. Eyenin ILL
nois, Gen. LOgan's State, he is pretty GER
tain to make better impression thar
| Gen. Logan. 1t is noticeable that the
Democrats are making greater efforts III
the West than they did at the beginning
of the campaign. The reason is that the
indications justify them in thinking that
they can carry several of the Western
States. Mr.. Hendricks is satisfied that
they can. A very large portion of the
German vote is lost to Blaine, and the
ariff-for-revenue-excl sentiment is
very strong there. The Western farmers
are tired of paying tribute to the great
manufacturing monOpOlies Of the Eastern
| States.

The New York Sun says ''if, instead OF
having to advocate such a man as Cleve-
land, Thomas Francis Bayard were him
self the candidate, what a different pre-
dicament the Democracy would be in,
and what a glorious prospect Of success
would be opened before itl' 1t is more
than likely that if Mr.. Bayard had been
the nominee Mr.. Dana would not have
been happy. He would, doubtless, have
now been yelling ''free trade" or "rebel
svmpathizer' in the interests of Blaine as
loudly as he is decrying Gov. Cleveland.
He appears to be achronic obstructionist.

Where the Union Armies Came From.


1t is one of the favorite boasts of the
orators and organs that the Republican
party saved the Union. The boast is
usually accompanied with assertions like
the following, which appears in Mr.
Blaine's evening organ in Chicago: "The
Northern Democrats of those days were
popularity known as Copperheads and
Fire-in-the-rear Bourbons. They were
too cowardly to go to the front, but gave
all the aid and comfort to the enemy they
could by denOuncing the leaders of tie
Republican party and resolving in the
conventions that the war for the preserva-
ton of the Union was a failure" There
are no statistics directly showing the po-
litical complexion of the soldiers compOs-
ing the armies of the Union, but there are
statistics which pretty thoroughly estab-
Iish the emptiness of this boast and the
utter falsity of such assertions. Take for
instance the following:

clusion is inevitable. The offer of the bank

1t is thus seen that the States furnished
SS0,01S more Union soldiers than Lincoln
votes. If half the Republican voters had
volunteered (which is a very liberal esti-
mate }, they would have made up an army
of only 933, 176, whereas the men furnish
ed by the States numbered 2,746,370, leay
ing 1873, 1914 that must have been drawn
from other sources than Republican voters.
The quota of every State, it will be seen,
was largely in excess of its Republican
vote. Illinois sent 81, 900 more soldiers to
the field than she cast votes for Lincoln.
Maryland cast 1924 votes for Lincoln and
sent 59,316 Union soldiers. Kentucky
cast 1864 Lincoln votes and sent 79,025
Union soldiers. Missouri sent 100, Ill
Union soldiers to the front while she cast
but II, 028 Lincoln votes. 1t seems pretty
safe to conclude that there were about as
many Democrats as Republicans in the
Union army. Certainly there is nothing
to sustain the claims made ON this point
by the Republican organs and orators.
