THE SCOTT LAW DECISION.
How 1t Is Regarded by Democrats and Sa-
lOOn-Keepers-MOney To BE Refunded.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
Mr.. Hawkins, sheriff of Hamilton county, and
a Democrat said:
IF the Supreme Court so far forgot its dig
nifty as to come to this decision in order to aid
our party in the November election they made
eggregious asses of themselves. If this idea was
not uppermOst in their minds then why decide
it at all until after the presidential election; or,
if they must decide it with political motives in
view, why did they not so decide previous to the
October election, when it might have converted
a few wavering Germans to the Democratic
partyl Now it makes no difference TO the Ger
man element They are independent of beer in
politics. and they will walk up and vote for
Blaine In my judgment it is grave mistake,
and one which will rebound to the prejudice of
the Democratic party for years to come The
Scott law was good law, it brought hundreds
of thousands of dollars to this city, thereby re-
ducing the rate of taxation, benefit enjoyed by
the members of both parties. When you strike
mans pocket, you strike him where he lives;
and, in my humble judgment, this decision at
this time will cause many Democrat to for
sake his former allegiance and vote dead against
Cleveland and in favor of prohibition. This de-
cision, at this time, looked at in the light of po
tical policy if it can be Judged in that light is
a colossal mistake, and will damage the Demo
cratic party thousands of votes"
Colonel Frank Harf, of Harff G. Cramer said
that he believed the decision would give the Re
publicans an increase of some 5000 or 10, 600
votes. II paid $400 tax on my Vine street
place and the Highland House, and did not
complain of the law, nor did any of the saloon
keepers of my acquaintance" added he.
II will tell you," said friend of Mr.. Harf's
who was present, this thing will eventually
make prohibition State of Ohio
Yes said Mr. Harff. "that is what fear.
do not exactly blame the judges, but it will GER
tainly help to give largely increased Republic
majority"
Mr.. Crainer was seated at an adjoining table,
dining with Mr.. Abe Steinau. Mr.. Cramer be-
ing asked his opinion, replied that he believed 1t
would give an increased majority for Blaine.
Yes" said Mr. Steinau; SAY there is "a fuc-
tuating vote of eighty thousand; sixty per cent
of this will now go to the Republicans next
Tuesday. The taxpayers and not the saloon ele-
ment will complain"
''rhat is my opinion" chimed in Mr.. Cramer;
land many of the saloon-keepers will wish the
matter had been left as it was, as it cannot but
rebound to their disadvantage" "a

linery trade was represented by a truck bearing
a large cannon labelled Protection to Amer
lean industries" Then came two ranks
of men with lamps in their hats,
with blacked faces and shovels and
pick axes; this was the Engineers Club. The
hardware trade, the West-side merchants and
the paper trade followed, and the carpet men
came next, having a banner with the words,
''rhe man good enough for Garfield is good
enough for us" The dry-goods men, between
1000 and 5000 strong, followed with truck
load of dry-goods boxes decorated with pictures
of Blaine, and following them the porters and
drivers of the dry goods trade, bearing board
mounted staff with crow, and
top the words Democratic feed" In the dark
ness, rain and mud the marching continued un-
til $40 Broadway was lined with people from
Bowling Green to and beyord the Worth monu-
ment the reviewing ground, while here and at
other special points on the line of march the
people were massed in great force and cheered
those in the procession most heartily. Mr. Blaine
was most enthusiastically cheered on his way to
and from the reviewing stand, and while he was
there it seemed one continuous roar.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
New YORK, Oct 29.-Shortly after the minis
ters call upon Mr.. Blaine ended and they had
retired, Father Hugh ONeil, of Indianapolis,
was shown into Mr.. Blaines parlor where he
was most cordially welcomed by Mr.. Blaine
Father O'Neil then in a brief but happily worded
speech presented him an elegant gold headed
cane voted Mr.. Blaine, as the good father in
formed him, at Catholic fair in Indianapolis
Mr.. Blaine received the gift evident pleasure
and with much fervor requested Father O'Neil
to convey his warmest and kindest thanks to
his Indiana friends. The father, by reason of
his mission, attracted 10 little attention. He is
a full blooded Irishman, but two and one-half
years in this country-a man of large and i'm
posing figure, with kindly and expressive blue
eye, forid, healthy countenance, ready wit
and pleasing manner A very brief conversa-
ton with him was sufficient to convince your
correspondent that he is thorough Republican,
warmly attached to the fortunes of that party.

rain, the parade of business men here, in honor
of James G. Blaine, is pronounced by its pro-
moters all they desired. Twenty-Five thousand
is the estimate of the number of the men in line,
and the procession occupied two hours and forty
minutes in passing the reviewing stand. The line
began to form at Bowling Green about 3 o'clock,
and at $3.50 the procession began its march up
Broadway. At the Worth monument stand
had been erected, and despite the rain, it be-
came filed
Mr. Blaine arrived on the stand at half-past 3
o'clock. Soon after, Colonel G. B. Mitchell,

SERIOUS LOSSES BY FIRE.
Burning of a Chicago Business Block
Foreman Carrs Heroic Sacrifice.

CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-The large brick building
situated on the southeast corner of Lasalle and
Michigan streets, the lower floors of which were
occupied by hide dealers and the Upper portion
by Fishers cigar box factory, caught fire about
noon and was completely gutted One man was
killed by jumping, and two others were smoth-
cred on the stairs. The factory girls on the
upper floor escaped with the greatest difficulty
It is believed all are safe. The loss will reach
100000 The building was owned by Mr..
Culver of Culver, Page & Hoyne, and was a
five-story structure, occupied by Schnabel &
Co., barbed wire manufacturers; the Campbell
Printing Press Company; Daneheizer Bros,
chewing gum manufactur ers, and W. E.
Fishers cigar box factory The latter was in
the top story and employed twenty-one men and
eighteen girls. The foreman of the shop
James Carr. got all the people
together In good order, and coolly led the band
to the fre-proof stairs and safely to the ground
He was troubled with doubt as to whether any
had been left behind, and he quickly returned to
the fifth story, but remained few moments too
late-the flames had cut off every avenue of es-
cape. He hurried to the roof, and, amid the
wild excitement of thousands of people below,
was thrown a rope from building ON the oppo
site side of the street. Making the line fast he
commenced his perilous descent, while fremen
held heavy tarpaulin beneath as a precau-
ton. Suddenly the rope snapped under
the mans weight, or was burned
by bursts of flames. Carr's body
shot downward, head foremost, and, to the hor
ror of the people. went directly through the
tarpaulin, and was picked up from the stones.
His neck was broken and the body mangled be-
yond recognition.
Another thrilling scene, meanwhile, was taking
place at the fre-eseape from the chewing-gum
factory. Eighteen young girls, panc-stricken,
came down pell-mell, and when within twenty
five feet of the ground thu last eight jumped to
the pavement, falling in confused mass Mirac
ulously, none were seriously injured, except
three, who received painful cuts and bruises.
LATER.-Carr, whose neck was not broken, as
at first supposed recovered the way to the
hospital, but died this afternoon. 1t cannot be
ascertained that there any other loss of life.
The losses and insurance are as follows: On build
ing, loss, $65, 600 insurance $4,000 Campbell
Printing Press Company, loss $4,000; insur-
anee, 10000 Schmell & Co., barbed wire. loss,
$50 0OO insurance. $4,000. Fisher & Co., cigar
boxes, loss, $l5 900; insuance, $4,000.

A DISASTROUS STORM.
Terrific Gale on the Lower California Coast
Many Vessels Wrecked and Lives Lost.

SAN Francisco, Cal, Oct 29-The following
further particulars of the disastrous storms on
the coast of Lower California were learned this
morning. The news was brought here by the
captain of the steamer Newbcrn from Guaymas
He says the steamer Estado dc Sonora left
Mazatlan Sept. 20, and the first storm broke on
the following day. 1t ragged with such terrific
fury that the Estado was unable to put back,
and it is supposed she rolled over and went
down, with fifty-seven souls aboard Nothing
was ever afterward heard of either passengers or
crew.
On October IA the Newbern passed large
quantity Of wrecked stuff near the entrance of
kle Gulf of California. Among it was pilots
compass. A lot of brass work had also been
picked up by the natives of San Jose Island; they
had stripped off all the wood part and burned it,
leaving only the brass work. There were no
marks on any of these, but ii is believed they
were all from the wrecked steamer. Some of
the brass work was sent to Guaymas for the pur
pose of identifying it. The Estado was COM
manded by Captain Rede, nephew of Captain
Charles Wilson, formerly DANISH Consul at this
city.
The second storm began Oct z, and lasted
three days. being more violent than the first
The only particulars are that such a tremen-
dous sea was running that the Newbern was un-
able to touch at the cape. She passed through
fields Of loose candles, believed to be part of the
cargo of the schooner Dora. Out of all the
small coasters only one has been heard ola
small sloop name unknown, with five people
aboard two of whom were saved-a young boy,
son Of Mr. Green, manager at Cape st. Lucas
and sailor The latter held the boy sixteen
hours in his arms in the water OF nine
schooners lost, four we're the San Pablo, the San
Pedre, the Cisne, and the Antonio. The names
of the five others are unknown

YOUTH AND NIGOR.
From tie Oan6uru Reporter.

Old men are splendid for counsel,
says the Richmond State, but give US
young men for actual war. Let us
have all the youth and all the vigor
we can possibly obtain and utilize in
this canvass. There is nothing like
the elan and enthusiasm of youth,
even though it may occasionally Gear
ry the war into Africa
Make your appeals to the young
men of the country and those who
have come to the voting age during
the past ten years, instruct them in
the politics Of their State and country,
teach them the true principles under
lying our government, its fundament-
al principles, but don't be prosaic.
Stir them with your eloquence and
vehemence while you instruct. I'M
part to them some of your own spirit,
and do not let them go home from the
meetings as cold and unimpressed as
if they had returned from a visit to
the North Pole. Bring up to their
recollection facts within their own
memory respecting their State Gov
ernment and the trials through which
it has passed. Harness the youth
now for battle and send them forth
to win their first laurels, the theme
is one to give tongue to inanimate
stocks and stones and cause them to
cry out.
Youth has a very broad perspec-
tive before it while we sometimes fear
that age is too much taken up with
its own sad retrospectives. So do not
-darken or cloud the prospect, but
make it bright and cheerful; and 10
90 this give the high hopes and noble
aspirations of our young men, rein
and spur.
Let US push the young men lut us
bring all the youthful, fresh, warm
blood we can into this fight, and press
1t tar to the front; and we think we
shall find it still true that ain the
bright lexicon of youth there is no
such word as fail"
