It Is too soon TO know what the Demo
cratic newspapers OF the country arc say
ing about the FREQ trade "brcak" in tho
report OF the Secretary OF the Treasury.
The returns will begin to come in to-day,
and II they prove pleasant reading for
Republicans We shall miss our guess.
Il is n very fortunate thing for tho Re-
publican party that nothing occurred be.
fore the election 10 draw from Secretary
McCulloch these or similar recommcn.
dations. We have lost the President
without Mr.. McCulloch's help, but we
might easily have lost moro States and u
considerable number OF votes III every
Northern State. Republican newspapers
and speakers were referring with conf.
dence TO the record OF the party,
the platform and to the let
tiers OF acceptance OF Blaine
and Logau-in good faith assuring the
country that the Republican party was q
progressive protective tariff party. 1t
would have taken the wind out OF our
sails il the Republican Secretary OF tho
Treasury had turned loose sucl, u docu'
lncnt us the one he has Just sent to Con-
gress.
Acknowledgements thcmatter, Prcsi'
dent Arthur might have found somebody
morci in accord with Republican policy oil
the tariff question. Alr. McCulIoch had
made his record and tho President knew
whatit was. ButP President Arthurhas been
unfortunate in the selection OF two OF his
three Secretaries OF tho Treasury. Secrc-
tary Folgcr's report OF II year ago was far
from satisfactory 10 Republicans, because
it was far ii, III sound on the tariff gu s.
ton.
II MI. Blaine had become President his
Secretary OF the Treasury would not have
mortitieiand iunliliatcd Republicans with
irce trade recommendations.

faculty nuI student.

A college student, whoomits to send his
name, forwards an account OF an unpleas-
ausuess at Thanksgiving time between
some OF the students and tho faculty. For
the reason that the student does not ac-
company his communication with his
name he will not expect to see it i'll print.
Some comments will not be out Of
place. a student who spells it "anchient,"
and believes that college faculties derive
their just powers from the concent OF the
Students ought not to insist too strongly
on holidays; and he might find it to his
advantage not to neglect his s%pelling-book
while he is inquiring into "metemp-
sychosis and archaeology"
Young men who are not willing to sub.
nit to college discipline ought not to be a.
college. The faculty is the power in the
college state, and it must be obeyed, OF
there is an end OF that well-ordcrcd civil
society in the college life without which
class rooms and professors are useless pro.
visions. The first lesson is obedience to
the power which has u right to command.
II the young man has not learned that
lesson before entering college he ought ia
esteem il n great pr yilcsc to be allowed
to take his degree in obedience after he
gets in.
It is to be presumed that the faculty is
reasonable that it will rather lead than
drive; that it understands something OF
human nature; that it will endeayor to
use its power for the welfare OF the stu.
dents committed toits care. The faculty
ma decide upon acourse the wisdom Of
which is not nj once apparent to the stu.
dents; but the presumption is i'll favor OF
the experience and sagacity OF the older
heads, and of their desire to strengthen
their institution.
In the matter complained OF the faculty
may have been wrong; but this is not the
inference We draw from the students
communication. It seems that the stu
dents we're wrong and that their error led
them into naturalization. This is . bad
beginning for persons who arc to be citi-
zens and electors OF the Republic.

The old Madison house, where Dolly
Madison held her court after her husband,
tho President, died, is d big brick, with a
baby window, probably Of recent con-
struction ut the back. 1t was built by
Congressman Cults, even before tho days
Of the Cochran House, and Cuts had 10
borrow money OF Madison TO erect It.
This hc was never able to pay, and at
Maiison's death II fell into the hands OF
Ills wife. Dolly Madison vas the prince
OF entertainers. She never forgot a name
nor u face, and scores Of stories are alloat
here regarding her memory and her
kindness. One old story which Is cur
rcn. Ii In reference to,a green youth at
tho White House who was standing. up at
one OF her receptions there, when she,
seeing that he was embarrassed, came up
and attempted to make lin more ut
home.
The boy was drinking d cup Of coffee,
aud he had about half finished It. When
he saw Mrs. Madison coming he was so
frightened that he cmttied the rest Of his
coffee into the saucer aud put the cup into
his coat pocket. Mrs. President Madison
al once engaged him IN conversation
asked after his family and every ono OF
his torty.sccond cousins, and treated him
80 well that he soon forgot his embarrass.
ment lie managed to remove the cup
from his pocket during the talk and drank
n second cup with his hostess before he
left.
Mrs. Madison was n tall, fine looking
lady, and she spent agreat deal in dress.
1t Is said her tutban caps, which she al
ways wore, cost her $1,000 II year, and she
kept them on through every change OF
fashion. During her late years, however,
she became very poor through the ex-
ccsscs Of her son, Payne TODD, who was
I gambler and q rogue. President Madl.
son left her M estate Of about 100000,
but during her later years she vas at
times dependent upon one Of her old
negro servants for the necessaries Of life.

THE COM MISSION
On South American Commerce-W Willis
Bartlett's Idea.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 81.
Several prominent business men appeared
before the Commission on South American
commerce. Among them were Willis Bart
lett. who is connected with the cotton manu-
facturies in New England. His idea was that
the government should advertise for proposals
to establish steamship lines and act in the
same way as the Commercial house. Naval
vessels should lie stationed in South Ameri-
can ports to protect consuls in the discharge
of comme ercisl and other duties Print cloth,
he declared. could be made in this country
and shipped to England, thence to Spain and
finally to South America, cheaper than il can
be made in England and sent to South Amer
lea direct. If they could be forwarded direct
to South America from the United States the
cost would be much lower. To establish
these direct lines, he continued, there will
then be way of going and returning and
the classes of saleable goods would soon be
ascertained. He thought the government
should have the steamers, even if only the
national duty they did was to take out empty
mail bags.

FIRE RECORD.
THE CARTHAGE FIRE.
The Homeless Night that Followed the
Day-One Hundred and sixty
Dwellings Burned.

CARTHAGE, y. Y, Oct 2l.
One hundred and sixty building were
burned by yesterdays fire, which was the
largest that ever occurred in this city. Among
the buildings burned were all the school
houses, the Presbyterian, Baptist and Epis-
copal churches, the church of the Disciples,
the Harrison and Town halls
WATERFOWL, n Y, Oct. 2l.
The Carthage fire was the most disastrous
that has ever visited this part of the State.
/. began in the rear of manufacturing build
ings on the west side of Black river and the
heavy wind blew the sparks for a half mile
across the river to two islands which were
filled with manufacturing institutions. Every
thing on the Islands was burned and the fire
struck into the resident part of the town and
swept buildings from about 75 acres. This
was the Oldest part of the town and contained
beautiful shaded streets with fine dwellings /;
but today this territory is mass of smould-
ering ruins. One hundred and fifty dwellings
were burned besides manufacturing institu-
tions and the Episcopal, Presbyterian, Baptist
aud Disciples churches, the Town hall,
Academy and all other school buildings.
During the night hundreds OF homeless
people were roaming the streets or lying in
spots which the fire had not touched. Every
place of shelter in the village being crowded
bv the women and children. committee
has been formed 10 this city to administer
temporary relief, and over one Thousand
dollars was raised in an hour. Work in this
line will be continued until shelter is provid-
ed for the homeless people. Money will be
sent to Allen Z. Kelly and C. z. Rybher of
Carthage. No one was burned to death, but
a score of people were badly burned, includ-
ing tiremen. The loss will foot up half a
million. The insurance will not reach one
third of that amount.

and coal yard of J. r. Cotterell. situated on
the east bank of the Blackstone river at Paw
tucket. The large yard was full of wooden
buildings, coal sheds and piles OF dry lumber
In short time the local fire department
reached the scene. The whole yard seemed
to be in flames Aid was asked for and sent
from this city and Central Falls. The air was
filled with glowing cinders, which stiff
breeze carried all over the town and set build
ings on fire.
Before the alarm finished sounding the
buildings of the Pawtucket Coal Company in
the yard adjoining took fire and many other
buildings. Part of the fire department were
called off and sent to five other fires. BY
sparks. II. l.. Dorsey's dwelling on Elm street
was badly burned.
The Pawtucket coal cOmpany's yard and
Catterelrs yard and buildings were entirely
destroyed but at 80 the fire was under con
troll though still burning tiercelv. One man
of Hose |, Pawtucket fell off the roof of
building and is seriously injured and another
fireman was burned Cotterelrs loss is esti-
mated at $50. 900 to SIS, 900 and other losses
will bring the total up to Sl00, 900; insurance
is not yet ascertained.
At midnight. fire in the Pawtucket coal and
lumber yards was still luming, but has been
under control for hours. The losses are as
follows; Cottrell $4,000, on building and
contents with no insurance; Pawtucket Coal
Company $3.50 and is partially insured.

LONG DROUGHT.
from Washington Southwark
Effect on Cotton Crop.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.
Rains have fallen during October in Ten
nessee and the OHIO valley and the Lake re-
gion. Atlantic. South Atlantic and Gulf states
The little rain that has fallen has not been
sufficient to do any good to the crops in these
sections. At Atlanta, Ca. rains have not
fallen for over two months aud il is estimated
that the cotton crop in that vicinity will fall
short forty per cent.
Near Shreveport, La, il is estimated that
the cotton crop will be only two-thirds of an
average, In the vicinity of Petersburg. Va,
it has become necessary to close the cotton
factories on account of the scarcity of water
An officer reports indications of light rain in
this vicinity soon, and says there is a heavy
rain storm in the Lake region. There has been
no rain of consequence in or about Washing
ton for nearly three months. The shade trees
along the streets and in the parks are showing
the effects of the long continued drought The
grass in many places is dead In several in
stances it has burn, d, when accidentally fired,
like the dry grass on the praries.
