GAssEs OF LABOR.

From this II appears that each top
filler atthe Cleveland furnaces handles
95 per cent more stock, and each bot
tom filler 81 per cent more than each
workman Of a corresponding class at
the Pittsburgh furnaces, though bis
wages are much less.
There is still another method OF
indicating the great difference in the
wages of labor at the furnaces of the
two countries, that is the relative labor
cost per ton Of pig. The money wages
in England are less, the amount Of
work done per man is greater, and the
labor cost per ton of pig in this conn.
try il still greater. The total labor
cost, at the furnace, of ton of pig
iron, at the, Pittsburgh furnaceas given
above, is 81 62, at the Cleveland fur
mace, 81 $40 cents, or about l40 per
cent more at Pittsburgh than at Cleve.
land, while the average excess of rates
OF wages is only 70 per cent H
There is still another comparison
that should be made to show how
much better of the American furnace
workman is than the English. The
theory of wages now generally adopted
is that the wages question is question
Of the distribution of product. This
is the theory of sliding scales ami Of
cooperation. On this theory the
workmen that get, as. wages, the larg.
est share in this distribution, (other
things being cquaD, get the highest
wages. Last Fall the selling price of
English hematiie pig in England WAS,
say t$l2 80; of similar grade in
Pittsburgh, $21 90. Taking the labor
costs Of these pig irons at 81 8 10 cents

THE OHIO ELECTION.


The result Of the election in Ohio is
such as to do away with the moral eff
feet that it might have had ON the
National contest in November. The
index state has failed to indicate A
majority of anything less than ten
thousand for the Republicans would
have left them without hope and an
approximate to double that amount
would have insured them a victory.
As it is. the result in November re-
mains predetermined, but if it imports
anything, the Democrats have most to
hope from the Ohio augury.
Democrats certainly have no cause
for dependency. Taking all things
into consideration they can draw COM
fort and congratulation out of the APP
parent defeat. We submit the follow
ing table showing the vote cast in that
State at the October and November
elections in Presidential years, begin
ming with 1856:

THE NEW EDITOR ON THE AVALANCHE

The many friends OF Mr.. H. M
Doak throughout Tennessee are glad
to learn that ne again has charge of an
important paper in this State. He
has been made chief editor of the
Memphis Avalanche, which paper he
recently purchased in conjunction
with two Memphis genslemen.
The Avalanche will afford a fine
field for the exercise of Mr.. Doak's
talents. 1t circulates largely in the
three states of Tennessee, Mississip-
pi and Arkansas, and thus occupies an
important position among Southern
Journals. .....
Mr.. DOak is a writer of marked in
dividuality. His diction is clear and
his ideas well defined. His greatest
force lies in the fact that he is thor
oughly conscientious; what he writes
carries with it the strength of the
writer's conviction.
The political changes that are GER
tain to occur in the South, and per-
haps the Nation, at no distant day will
do away with the One-sided phase of
journalism in this section, and the
Avalanche, under Mr.. DOak's manage
ment, will be one of the powers in
the land.

A BLOODY ELECTION.

There has never been such spec
tacle presented to the country as the
manner in which the Ohio election of
last Tuesday was conducted. -H
Republicans have talked loudly OF
1bull doing" and "the shot gun policy
in the South, but even their highly
colored pictures of such outrages in
this section do not equal the real meth
DDS resorted to to carry Ohio.
There was whole army of thugs
invested with the power OF United
States deputy marshals, who assisted
Republican repeaters in casting their
illegal votes, inundated Democratic
voters at the polls, interfered with po-
lice and State officers in the discharge
of their duties and shot men down in
the street like dogs. #'
The bloody scenes in Cincinnati
were hardly surpassed by those that
were witnessed during the riots last
Spring. The news from the election
reads like the report OF battle. The
following is from the Associated Press
dispatches: s.. 81 ..
Killed, Albert Russell, colored.
Wounded, Joe Lowry, shot in the
spine. fatal; Bridget Hughes, struck
IN the breast with a bowlder, danger
GUS; John Murphy, shot in the stOm-
ach, flesh wound; Andrew Bennett
colored, shot in the side, not danger
Gus; John Dalton, shot in the leg, not
dangerous; Sam Taylor, colOred, shot
in the side, serious; Mike German,
policeman, shot in the back, danger
Gus; Henry Brown, colored, shot in
the abdomen, fatal. The last three
were wounded in an affray at the cor
ner of Sixth and Freeman streets late
last night. Between fifty and one
hundred people took part in the fight,
which grew out of an attempt of
German to arrest a negro. The Ger
man was shot in the back by some I'M
known persons and a general fusilade
followed in which 100 shots were
fired. The riot alarm was sounded and
the disturbance was quelled after the
two policemen and Brown had been
shot. . ..f ... t.... '...
This is only an indication of the des-
perate and terrible struggle that the
Republican party will make to retain
its grasp on power. 1t calls Cor re-
newed Democratic effort to throttle
this monster which in the frantic eff
forts to save its life threatens to sub
vert the freedom of elections.

The following from the Rev.
James Freeman Clarke's speech In
Boston the other day is thea most
solemnly accurate des criptien Of the
present extraordinary political stu
alton we remember to have seen
yet, and we commend it as, suchgto
all honest men, and especially
young men, whom as many of their
elders-some of them ministers,
4too-are daily on the stump invit-
ling into paths Of dishonor and
shame: tf
| agree with my old friend Bishop
Huntington, of New York, that
Cleveland, having risen above these
past errors, and left them behind
him, is not, if we follow the princi-
pies of the Gospel of Christ, to be
prevented from rising to any height
of usefulness. He has shown his
repentance in a true way, by doing
works meet for repentance. 1t is
only hard and narrow bigotry
which would condemn a: man fons
ever for a past ill deed. '!aBut,"
YOU may say, twill you reward a
man with the Presidency who has
committed this ofense against So
cial morals?" Public Office is not
a reward, but duty. If we make
him. or any other man, our Presi-
dent, it is because he is well fitted
for the work of a President. The
people of Buffalo took him because
they needed him to do work !;
and he did it honorably and well.
The people of the State did not re-
ward him when he j was chosen
governor. He was taken because
he was the right man in the right
place. If elected President it will
not be as reward of merit, but as
selected to do the work because he
has the power. The difference be-
tween Blaine and Cleveland as can
didates is that the offense of Mr..
Cleveland is not disguised nor ex-
cused, nor defended but that of Mr..
Blaine is denied, or excused, or de-
Tended. The great harm to moral
ity does not come so much from the
wrong action as from it's being de-
Tended, palliated, and called right.
This great injury to the public NOR
ais is now being done by Mr..
Blaine's advocates. They are put
ting evil for good and good for evil,
darkness for light and light for
darkness, bitter for sweet and sweet
for bitter. No young man who has
seen what an awful burden Grover
Cleveland has had to carry, in con-
sequence of his one offense, can
possibly be tempted by his exam
pie to any like iniquity. But when
man. who has devoted himself to
making money out of Office, is de-
Tended for doing so by our best men
when asking to be paid, for doing
justice in high judicial POSITIONS
treated as mere accident when
asking man to perjure himself by
writing letter prepared for him
full of falsehood, is considered as
something not worth speaking of,
then the morals of society are being
cankered at their heart.

We have seen small circular float

Democratic paper published in Clarks-

the Democratic Executive COMMITTEES,
or words to that effect,
We don't mention the matter to

If our very esteemed contemporary
should claim TO be the only religious
journal published, and to have a Divine
endorsement, we don't presume that
the Christian Advocate, or any other

deny the claim. We are in a like at

All we wish to say is this: We had
not heard before of the endorsement

we would iketo know at what session

/ From these figures it will be seen
that the Republican majority in Ohio
has been greatly reduced since the
Garfield election, the last time full
vote was cast, and is much smaller
than ever before except in October
pending the Hayes-Tilden contest.
This is in the face of the TACT that the
Republicans concentrated their whole
power on the State and put forth the
most herculean efforts to carry it.
Their best orators, including their
Presidential candidate, stumped the
State and money was spent without
stint Indeed, the power of the gener-
al government and all the machinery
of Federal offices were brought into
action in their behalf. An army of
1000 deputy U. s. Marshalls intimida-
ted voters and gave aid to Republican
frauds. 1t was a battle for life. A
Democratic victory in Ohio would
have been the death knen of the Re
publican party. The great organiza-
ton was brought to bay and fought
for existence.
Then, too, there was division among
Democrats in Ohio. A powerful fac
ton of the party is under the control
of an INSCRIPTIONS Boss" and he was
strongly suspected of playing his usual
trick of "knifng." ~
But it was only the moral effect of
the Ohio election that Democrats cared
for. They have never counted on its
electoral vote. The moral effect is
more In their favor than that of their
adversaries and they continue the fight
with undiminished ardor. val ..
There will be numerous pivotal
states" in November and the Repub-
licans can't concentrate their forces
as they have done in Ohio. A free
and untrameled vote will undoubted-
ly elect Cleveland, and for these Ireas-
ons we think the outlook is favorable
to Democratic success. ......-s

fesoed loyal democratic editors, to
scratch the names of Savage, Turley
and. Gordon off the ticket on the

willie American has come out on the
side Of the "scratchers," and advises
democratic voters to scratch the
commission candidates off the tich ct.
The Nashville World and a few
country papers are c0ntending for
the entire ticket. There is any
thing but harmony and concert of
action on the part Of the leaders and
the press Of the party. 1t Is charged
that Col. Savage WAS appointed to

by Gov. Bate to reconcile the dis.

Gov. Bate said he appointed him
tor that purpose.
