The British stsel-makers are angry be-
cause the British government has given
an order to the famous French and Ger
man iron masters, Schneider and Krupp
for the steel for $30,O0O,0O0 worth Of new
steel cruisers, on the alleged ground
that British steel is not of a sufficiently
good quality. This allegation il true,
If the quality is to be anywhere near as
good as the United States is using; and
even Krupp and Schneider cannot pro-
duce as good steel as that in the United
States cruisers, Bat the British steel
makers assert that the British admiral
ty has given the orders abroad in order
to get cheaper prices, If this is true the
British ironmasters ought not to COM
plain so long as they are free traders;
for it is the very essence of free trade
doctrines to buy in the cheapest market
even il it ruins home Industries.

IT is reported that Cleveland has yir-

the position Of postmaster general, I'M

Lean, of the Cincinnati Enquirer. 1t is
also stated that number of prominent

pressing names from their respective

ONE OF the most interesting facts
shown by the collated returns of the pop
ular vote in the recent election is the
comparative insigni6cance of the vote
outside of the two great parties. OF the
100000 votes cast all but about 3OO,-
0Co were cast for Cleveland or Blaine.
In other words only three per cent of the
vote was thrown away. This was a
smaller proportion than the third party
and scattering vote in 1880 and very
much smaller than in 1882 in the Con-
gressiOnal election.

IT has been generally supposed that
the war of the rebellion ended with the
surrender of Lee and his army at Apo
mattox, but according to the Charleston

Democratic jubilee which was being
prepared for the following week, in
Charleston, over the election of Cleve-
land to the Presidency, 1t says: "Hers
the Confederate war began. Here, at

Cleveland as Confederate victory, in as

brought it about, and feels that the south
has cause to be jubilant. Force and

by the tie in the Illinois Legislature.

MADCAP;
THE STORY OF A SIN.
By HELEN d. MATHERs.

But the more dangerous Unan ali, Ino
events of the day on which he had come
upon Hester at the maying.. had pro-
duced an effect on his mind that, Sleep
ing or waking, was never effaced. Hes
ter's attitude toward Madcap was that
OF revenge, and once given the oppor-
tunity she would tell the whole truth;
her pretended affection for the child be-
ing device to hide her real object in
remaining in the village. 81 IAa s
AT that very moment. when standing
alta dozen PAGES from Madcap, his eye
was caught and instantly fixed by a
slight movement in the boughs of the
hedge behind which she was sitting.
"See," he said suddenly. there's
danger yOnder," and instantly drew a
pistol from his breast-pocket, and fired.
Good God." cried Frank, going for
ward, IF It was Hester, you must have
killed her.'
why not?" said Mr.. Eyre. "she had
her warning; and you'll go round to the
other side of the hedge and see; and
don't be alarmed" he added. in differ
ent tone, as he took Madcap, who had
started up, in his arms. and smoothed
her hair. ''You didn't know l carried
this pretty toyp" and he showed it to
her, smiling at the fear with which she
touched 1t. Its for vermin; some
times those creatures harm what's bet
ter than themselves, and killing is no
harm; and a sinful heart does not at
'aooys make feeble hand-see how firm
mine is. And yet, Madcap, it was only
IA roOkl"
She laughed, not detecting the poison
ed imagination that jests amid tears;
and at that moment Frank appeared,
pale, and looking unlike himself.
"Well?' said Mr.. Eyre. looking at
him fixedly, and still holding his wife
''You missed your aim," said Frank,
with an effort.
''But the intention was the same,"
said Mr.. Eyre, as he drew Madcap's
hand in his arm. And now we'll 60
and eat strawberries-as Boteler says,
doubtless God might have made bet

and I'll never let you sit so close by a

.RepubIican campaign Orators.

As showing the utter disregard for
facts, that characterizes the average
Republican campaign orator, the Par
kersburg Sentinel Of late date
dissects in mastery manner
speech recently made by Judge
Loomis. at Republican meeting in
that city, and exposes many grossly
false statements. There are no less
than seven points cited upon which
the speaker was altogether off aud en-
tlrely at variance with the facts. Tho
first statement was that at the close
of the war the Republican party,
without aid and with no greater rate
of taxation than now, paid expenses
greatly larger than at present.
I" This is utterly untrue" says the
ISentinel. The Republican party
levied for years rate of taxation
one-half greater than thatof The pres
ent time. And in addition to the
revenue so raised, received from the
reorganized State of Virginia $780,
Tl.46, and from the United States
$500, ,G79.2S, making S498, ,45O.74.
Sec Auditors reports 1868, '64, '6S,
'69. Another false statement was,
that the Republicans went out of
power leaving surplus for State pur-
poses of S213,0O0 in the Tresury.
Auditor Boggess, Republican; in
his report to the Legislature, (See
House Journal for year 1871, page
255) says, that the total receipts for
the year ending October 1st, 1870,
were S643, ,975.25 and the disburse-
ments were $3.50, ,655.1T The bal
ance was $213, ,42O.OS, rs the entire
fund for school purposes and State,
but there was due the school funds at
that date S273, 948.42, making a
shortage of $50, ,528.3 81 to the school
fund. The same report page IS,
shows that on October 1st, 1870,
there were unpaid appropriations
amounting to S32, ,O23.92 which, adj
ded to the other deficiency makes a
total of S92, ,552.1G This affords a
sample of the many wild and .un-
founded charges made by Republi-
cans on the stump and through their
press. In addition to the legacy of
debt left by the Republicans, ali tho
public buildings were incomplete,
and many hundreds of thousands of
dollars have been spent in their
completion, and enlargement. Tho
irreduciblc school fund has boon i'm
creased very largely, with an in
creased expenditure for school pur-
poses. With all these facts staring
them in the face the brnzcn checked
Republicans persist in charging tho
Democrats with reckless extrava-
gance, and make great howl about
an illeged dcbto $500, ,OOO.OO which,
if it does exist, is accounted for by
