From all directions comes the
story of reduced wages and harder
times for working people. Yet there
is no commercial depression, no finan-
cial crisis; none of the conditions
which usually produce this state of
things. Legitimate industry is occu-
plying the same relative position in
regard to trade that it did a year ago.
Stocks are dormant. The money
market is safe and easy. There are
no startling enterprises on foot, which
are likely to unsettle values. Yet
wages go down. The demand for
manufactured goods, while not ex-
cessive, is no less now than year
ago. The prices for every staple are
the same as formerly. Our export
trade has not diminished. We have
no surplus in agricultural and domes-
tic produce. There is as much actiy-
ity on the farms, in the stores, in all
the avenues of commercial traffic, as
usual. Every article of domestic use
commands its ordinary price. Yet
wages are falling, and the demand for
still further reduction is increasing.

CONGRESSIONAL wHITEwAsH.

We published some four weeks ago ex-
tracts from the brief Of Hon. A. G. Botkin,
contssting the Delegateship with Hon. Mar
tin Maginnis, showing the most glaring
frauds In the election Of 1882. To an Inn
partial reader the argument was conclusive
that number Of persons not entitled to vote
for Delegate for Congress, did vote for Ma
ginnis, that votes were canvassed and re-
turned for Maginnis which were never cast
and were fraudulent, and that with these
votes excluded and only the legal votes cast
counted, canvassed and certified, Botkin
should have been given the certificate. The
printed testimony accompanying the brief
sustained It, and with this evidence before
us We are firmly convinced 1otkin had
majority Of the legal votes cast, and should
have been the Delegate. This evidence was
submitted to the House and referred TO the
committee on elections, and their report,
embodying resolution, which was adopted,
declaring Maglnnis the duly elected Dele
gate, Is one Of the largest buckets Of con-
gressional whltswash that has been spread
by that body. 1t simply shields some frauds
by technical bubbles and entirely ignores
such gross outrages - the returns from
"Wooley's Ranch, on the Musselshell," where
no sotss were polled, and which place did
not In fact exist, and It takes no cognizance
OF "Poil Book No. 2" ct Miles City, In
which 400 bogus votes were returned TO cor
respond with the 400 ballots for Maginnis
"stuffed" therein, or the several other out
RACES and shameful wrongs cited, sworn
and proven and In evidence before the COM
mlttee. These matters u dIsposes Of sum
marily as follows:
Yonr committee do not find that illegal
and fraudulent votes were cast for the con-
testec In Custer, Dawson and Mlssoula coun-
ties. In our Judgment the proofs are en-
lirsly wanting to show that 10 Custer, Gala
tin and Missoula counties men employed in
the construction and operation Of the North
ern Psci6c railroad were coerced TO vote for
contestes By intimidation and threats Of
BY contractor, sub-contractors, or
other employer. In our judgment, no

Gould Hard Up.

NEW YORK, July 10.-The Herald sdito-
rally says: Jay Gould seems to be follow
ing fast In the footsteps Of Willard, and has q
leaning toward the Same terminal of grand
collapse. Gould borrowed q half million
dollars on Thursday, giving as collateral
blocks OF Missouri Pacific and Western Union
and before he obtained the loan, Gould was
forced to sign an agreement that as soon as
there should be any delay in making a good
margin the lender had the right to sell the
socks in the market without further notice.
Thus Gould Is forced 20 tie him self up with
all kinds Of restrictions, just as Willard was
when tottGring to his fall. Gould, however,
Is more unfortunate than Willard, In that he
has fallen upon harder times. The failure
Of Willard, the loss and ruin It caused, re-
suited In shock to public confidence. The
further shrinkage of values has rendered II
impossible to raise msnsy on his Western
Union and other stocks, as he might other
wise have done. So 1t happens that in his
efforts to borrow he Is forced to make ster-
ling loans and ~ the number of houses that
make these is limited, he Is obliged to bor-
row from the identical people with whom
Willard did similar business one year ago.

Precautions to Prevent Contagious

Precautions to Prevent Contagious
WASHINGTON, July 14.-Sscretary Ere
linghuysen to-day instructed by cable con-
sular officers 1t London, Liverpool, Marseil-
les, Havre, Bordeaux, Bremen and Ham,
burg to at once appoint competent physi.
clans to inspect all vessels and passengers
departing for the United States from the
ports mentioned. The consular officers re-
ferred to are instructed to refuse clearing
bills Of health in all cases except upon the
Recommendation Of the sanitary inspector
that such bills were given. Consuls are in
structsd to report by cable any case Of in
fictitious or contagious disease known to sx-
list on board Of any vessel ut the time Of her
departure for the United States. This course
is adopted In order that the health officers in
our ports may have timely notice Of the ap.
preaching danger and be prepared to take
such measures a. shall prevent the scourge
from gaining foothold in this country. II
Is probable that under the authority con-
ferred BY the contagious disease clause Of the

Independents Indor.inq Blaine.

PHILADELPHIA, July IA. The Press
prints an address to the Independent Repub-
lican, signed by the chairman, ]. d. Mckee,
and sixty members Of the Independent State
committee, also fifty other prominent citi-
zens. The Press says the signers are the
most influential Of the Pennsylvania indie
pendents. Some Of them were the active
supporters Of the Wolf revolt, and oil were
prominent followers of John Stewart In '82.
The address bases Its claim for confidence on
the past acts Of the Independents, which In
1881 and 1882 received the support Of fifty
thousand voters, and declares through the
labor Of the Independents the unit rule was
overthrown, direct representation established
and 1t became possible to hold National
Convention that was representative In the
true sense. Iscannot be gainsaid that Blaine
is the choice of the masses of the dominant
party in the United States, and that the late
convention, better than most of its predeces-
sors, gave heed to the demands Of It's con-
stituents. To oppose his election would then
seem to be an attack upon the results of
Independent work. Such opposition would
not only be difficult to defend upon theory,
but would be disastrous In its results, since 1t
involves the proposition Of surrendering the
control Of the country to the Democracy, q
party which has been on the wrong side Of
the important question settled In the most
eventful period of American history, and
which has to look back TO the time of Jack
son for its achievements and to the time of
Jefferson for Its virtues. Nor would such
opposition be justified by the fact that charges
are made against Blaine. 1t should not be
forgotten that these charges have been met
by the State of Maine, which has since
elected him to the Senate, by Garfield, by
whom he was made Secretary Of State, and
by the great party which has chosen him for
the Presidency. Every presumption Is In
favor of the man who has been 50 trusted,
and as to weight 1t Is not enough that such
charges should be made-they must be con-
clusively proved.
The address concludes: ave need him,
whether or not Blaine was our choice for the
nomination. His election will best serve the
interests Of the people, and that TO defeat
him would be TO aid in the restoration Of
machine methods, and to entrust with gen.
sral power party which has given every
evidence Of inability to exercise IL in such =
wsy as to promote the general welfare"

THE BEST TIME ON RECORD,

Westnont, the PAGER, with Firebrand As run
ming mate, to wagon. As Campbell drove
his remarkable PAGER cut on the track, IL
looked as though they meant to show speed,
and as they came down the stretch for the
word every one watched the flying horses.
After they passed the turn BY the club house
the whole crowd was aware that remarkable
time was being made.
The quarter pole was passed In 0.S0t the
PAGER kept his gait steadily and left the half
In LOO The three-quarter pole was passed
faster than ever before, at $50, and still the
gait seemed to increase In swiftnsss. Tho
crowd began to cheer, and just as the team
came to the distance stand Westmont broke,
coming in under the wire in 2.01s, the fastest
recorded time. Had the crowd repressed It's
sxultation for second the time, no doubt,
would have been less than two minutes.
The attendance was 10000. Westmont was
purchased tonight by J. NJ. Hill, the tbeatri-
cal manager, for $4,000.
