Steamer Seized.

PANAMA, Oot. ia revolutionary
movement has been on foot here for several
weeks and the leader of the enterprise, Gen.
Benjamin Ruiz, has been for some time in
possession of Tartan and Pampano, with
considerable force. Although only four or
five miles distant from the Capital, neither
the State nor the national government has
made any attempt in force to reduce him to
submission or to preserve order in the State.
So long as he committed no overt act both
rested satisfied with negotiations which
eaded in nothing. Gen. Ruiz, embroidered
by this action and being DESTROYS of uniting
his forces with those of other revolutionary
leaders in Los Santes, Cocle and FeraguaS,
resolved on brilliant enterprise, and day
or two ago, with two hundred armed men,
boarded the English steamer Alajucla, and
quietly took possession. The captain sub
sequently coaled and provisoned the ship
from stores belonging to the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, though the agents of
that company protested against such action
aud then started down the bay.

A SAD DISAPPOINTMENT Sacrament
10 the other day man was on his last legs
with pneumonia. His life was insured for
several thousand dollars, and it appeared
to him little tough that he was to get no
fun out Of sll this money. Determined TO
do The best he could under the circumstan-
ces, he made will that he thought would
cover portion OF the ground. His will
provided that Mt his funeral every hack
in town should be employed, and all his
friends and acquaintance invited to attend
and take ride afterward. All who attend
ed were also invited to participate in q
grand banquet in the evening at the hotel,
at which brass band, which should lead
the funeral procession, was to enliven the
occasion with music. After making his will
he was So tickled with the idea Of the whole
affair as he could see it in his minds eye
and with the thought of what q large slice
of the insurance he was thus having the
fun Of spending, that he at once began to
mend, and In spite of himself got we'll.
Now he is as far as ever from the insurance
money, and mourns the loss of tho grand
banquet, the brass band, and the other big
things that were to make his funeral n
notable event. Territorial Enterprise.

Hon. JOHN s. BARBoUR.-The people Of

the Hon John g. Barbour for organizing
Victory within their borders at time when
the public mind was filled with the gravest
apprehensions. The opportunity to cancel
in some measure that obligation does not
now present itself to them. 1t does how
ever present itself to the voters of the 9Th

reclamation of his party for seat in Con

some appreciation of bis services that will

Bile of idle vaporings. Mr. Barbour is to-

him. He is on committees, State and ma

The SOLID SoUTH.-In these closing
days of the campaign the republicans have
losttheir heads ard are slashing wildly. Mr..
Blane's speeches in Indiana show signif.
cant lack Of the persistent purpose he dis
played in Ohio. He has dropped the tariff,
and is striving to stir up sectional animosi
ty. The North and the South, he declared
at Terre Haute on Thursday afterncoou,
are not yet in harmonious relations, Dor will
be for at least ten years to come. In the
same unpatriotic spirit Mr.. Evarts rallied at
Brooklyn Thursday night againstthe Solid
South" and hurled great many ugly adj
jectives at it from his copious vocabulary.
But that old game cannot succeed. 1t Is
PLAYED out. Mr.. Blaine and AIR. Evarts
both know every intelligent man knows
that the only reason why the South is solid
in this Presidential election is because the
main matter at Issue is honest governmen t
If it were the tariff, as Mr. Blaine till lately
pretended, the South would not be solid.
On economic questions it would divide, and
several Southern States would range them
selves with the republican party. We were
In nope that this election would turn on
those questions. But the nomination Of
Mr.. Blaine made that impossible. When
! the republican convention put him up il
forced the issue Of administrative reform
OF the cleansing Of the government from
corruption, and the substitution Of frugality
for profigacy in taxes and expenditures
Mr.. Blaine's own character forced this; and
it is greatly to the credit of the South that
it il solid on the side Of honesty and frugal
ily. The North also ought to he solid on
the same side.-N \. Herald.

THE New YORK Herald, in it's account OF

"If the republican party was defeated 1t
would be because there was strength
enough in the solid South. AS to the cry
that had been made that no party SHOULD
remain too long in power,h con.ended that
in this country the party that was lcyai
should always be in power. The triumph OF
the democratic party meant the rule
of the solid South. 1t was the South
against the North. I don't make that
division, said the speaker, the repu6-
lican party does not make that divi
sion, the interests of the country don't make
that division and don't follow it. 1t Is
made by a cohesion of the memories of the
mast and the resentments of the past.
will hold again the memories of the glory
of the republican party OF the country.
will uphold the memories and resentments
of that division in our country"
And vet the Mahoneites and Southern
Blaineites are so ill-informed as to pirate
about the kind feelings entertained for the
South by Mr.. Blaine and his supporters in

will accrue to the South from the election of

WHEN A Mahoneite comes Cabling
around workingmsn about the benefits of
the protective tariff, he can be effectually
squelched by asking him if the protective
tariff has not been in operation for the last
twenty-four years, and if days wages
now will buy larger supply of the neces.
saries Of life than when it commenced. If
after quarter of q century the effect of the
tariff on the two most protected industries
in the country, mining and the manufac-
turs of iron, has been to reduce the price of
labor to sixty-6ve cents a day in the former
and ninety five in the latter, and that, too,
on halftime work, as is the case, the SOON
er that kind of tariff is abolished the bet
ter, at least for the workingman.
