No graver campaign blundcr could have
been conceived than the social scandal
against Cleveland, made public through an
obscure paper in Buffalo and spread by COW.
ardly inuendo through most of the party or.
gans and by most of the party leaders. Hon
orable exception must be noted of the lead
ing Republican journals Of Buffalo, both Of
which have refused to soil their columns
with the approval Of a calumny that is GER
tain TO react overwhelmingly in favor Of
Grover Cleveland in the community where
he is best known
Another campaign blunder is now deveI-
oping into grave proportions and returns to
vex the fool Blaine leaders 1t is the idiotic
prominence given TO few generally char
acterless Irish leaders, and the attemp te-
hurrah of the whole rlsh-American vote to
Blaine. II has reacted simply because it
could not do otherwise, aud the wonder is
that party leaders credited with political sa-
gacity should have fallen into such blum
der. 1t has reacted for many reasons all Of
which should have been foreseen By leaders
Of ordinary intelligence. It has reacted be
cause it has called ont Mr. Blaine's offcns-
i've Know Nothing record in his own state,
where every Irish man was excluded from
company OF more than ouc-thrd Irisnmen
could not be organized in Maine. 1t has re-
acted because the pretended Irish leaders
who proposed to deliver the whole Irish
American vote to Blaine are recognized, az
a rule, as mere corrupt party traders in Ire
lands woes, and they have disguised the
overwhelming mass Of honest Irish voters
It has reacted because the disreputable and
ostentatious trading with disreputable Irish
leaders has aroused the latent hostility 10
Irish domination in Amerlcon politics that
Mr.. Blaine planted and watered years ago,
and now there is a danger Of the loss Of the
whole honest Irish vote and Of the loss Of
tens Of thousands Of honest American votes
because Of the subordination Of great M
tionaI campaign to few blatant Irish pollti-
cal dynamiters, who own and represent
nothing, but who propose to sell and deliver
everything.

WEST SEVENTH STREET PEOPLE
Appeal to the City Attorney to Ascer'
tain Their Rights Regarding
the Street Railway.

meeting was held at the Mission school
on West Seventh street last night, of resi-
dents and property owners of the southern
limit of the Fourth ward, to protest against
the action of the street railway company in
the abandonment of that portion of the track
on West Seventh street between Randolph
street and Lee avenue. The attendance was
quite large and the proceedings were char
acterized by an earnestness and force that
seemed to indicate business.
1t may be stated that up to a few weeks
ago the street railway company ran its cars
to the old barn on West Seventh street, or
more properly speaking, to Lee avenue.
Recently the company abandoned the track
between the streets named. making the term
mus of the road at Randolph street, and
thereby cutting off the facilities of transpor-
tation to the very large population resid-
ing beyond that thoroughfare and
on the line of Seventh street.
The action of the company in depriving so
large number of citizens of the privileges
formerly enjoyed aroused a spirit of indig-
nation, and the feeling crystalized into call
for the meeting which was held last night.
The meeting was called to order at s
president and Mr.. j. T. Kerker secretary.
Mr.. Trudgeon explained the object of the
meeting and read two communications from
President Lowry, of the Street Railway
company. The first communication
was dated August Is and referred to a con-
versation with Mr.. F. b. Clark regarding a
! bonus which was to have been paid the COM
panv for laying certain portions of the track,
and Mr.. Lowry stated that the company was
ready to carry out their part of the contract,
and that if the citizens would fulfill their
agreement, the cars would be run as before.
The second letter, dated August 81 re-
ferred to the call for the meeting and init
mated that us the company was both able
| and willing to protect its legal rights, the
sooner war was commenced, if this was what
they wanted, the better.
A general discussion ensued in the course
of which it was explained that, according to
an old contract, made over two years ago,
the citizens agreed TO pay for the cost of lay.
ing the track, providing that it was put down
! by Sept. 20, but that it was not laid for some
time afterwards, and moreover that the COM
pauv had never called on the residents for
subscriptions. but that the track had been
abandoned without their consent or knowl-
edge. 1t was also explained that the com
panv now demanded the price of the double
track before running the cars to the old ter
minus.
1t was then decided to appoint commit
tee of three to confer with the city attorney
and city engineer with the view of ascertain
ing the rights of the people in the premises.
Messrs. Orme, MeVeigh and Kerker were
appointed as such committee, and they were
also instructed to confer with the president
of the company. A vote Of thanks was ten
! dered the members of the press in attend
ance, and the meeting adjourned until next
] Eriday night at the same place.

PlenrO-PnenmOnia,

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ell DR.. Salmon, of the
agricultural department, has made report to
Col. Carnan, acting Commissioner, upon the out
break of the pluro-pneumonia among the Jersey
cattle IN Illinois. He says, in part: ''This is
the most serious outbreak that has occurred for
a long time and unless prompt action is taken to
stop it, the Jersey cattle interest in the west
will be ruined, and pluro pneumonia be beyond
control. Several Of the finest herds in the state
are now infected. One affected animal in the
herd examined to-day is worth $780, some
other animals in these herds are worth MORE
and two of the herds contain over forty head
EACH Dr. Salmon further says the state autho-
tiles agreed to cooperate with tho government
in exterfninating the disease. Acting Connie
soner Carmen has telegraphed him to take all
means necessary to ill the extent authorized
by law. officials at the agricultural department
saws this ig the first time the disease has ap-
peared in the west. DR.. Salmon with four or
five assistants, is at present engaged in trying to
discover the parts Of the country from which the
cattle were originally shipped. The report Of
Salmon, which is a lengthy one, was anticipated
in. all its main features by the Associated press
dispatches from Chicago, published this morn

sick and dead cattle, presumably of Texas
fever In seven days after unloading at De-
catur, several head of Mr.. JONES' cattle
were taken sick. OF the forty-eight
head, nine have died and nine others were
sick, but have recovered. Although the
cattle were in the pasture with others, none
haye been sick or exhibit symptoms of the
disease. These cattle were given epson
salts and fed green corn, which seemed to
have good effects. Mr. Fullenwilder asks
the press; of the states of Kansas, Mime

Dakota and Montana to request all stock
men to furnish him with a list of all deaths
in their herds, with the cause of same, from
January last to date, with future reports to

BLAINE,s PETTIFOGGING.


1t may be of interest to those who pin their
faith to Blaine on account of his supposed
regard for the rights of American citizens
abroad, to read his opinion in the case OF
O'Connor, a naturalized Irishman, who was
arrested while on a visit to Ireland, under
the notorious act of March, 1881. This act
provided that any person living in pro-
scribed district might be arrested at the will
of the Lord Lieutenant and sent to Windsor
without bail or trial. It was under this ne
farious act that O'Connor was arrested, and
soon after his case was brought before the
administration at Washington. The follow
ing is the opinion which Mr.. Blaine filed in
regard to the application: ''The act OF par
lament he said,
Under which Mr.. O'Connor is held is law
of Great Britain, and it is an elementary princi-
pie of public law that in such the govern
ment of that country, in the exercise Of its var
led functions, judicial and executive, admins
tiers and interprets the law in question. The
right of every government in this respect is alb
solute and sovereign, and every person who vol
unfairly brings himself within the jurisdiction
of the country, whether permanently or tempo
| rarily, is subject to its laws. whether he be a
citizen or mere resident, so long as In the case
| of an alien resident no treaty stipulation or
| principal of international law is contravened
| by the proceedings taken against him. In
stating this familiar principle no more is con-
| coded to Great Britain than every country may
of right demand, and it is one of the sovereign
rights that the government of the United
States has always insisted upon and maintained
| for itself.
| When it is remembered that under the act
of parliament the act of habeas corpus was
suspended, and the liberty of any person
within certain limits was at the mere whim OF
an individual, it is not apparent
that Mr.. Blaine took that decided
course with Great Britain which it is expected
heis to take by Irish supporters. If he
would not interfere in the case ofan Ameri-
can citizen arrested without warrant, and
confined in prison without the privilege oil
bail or trial, in what case would he make
himself felt? His opinion above given, and
which appeared in the Congressional Record,
Nov. 25, 1881, is one of the most cowardly
imaginable. 1t proves that he is willing that
any outrage may be perpetrated on any
American citizen, provided 1t is done under
cover of local law. In the same spirit OF
subserviency he would not object to the mas
sacre and eating of Americans by cannibals
for the reason that it is permitted by the law
of the country in which il should occur.

A CAMPAIGN TRICK.
Government officials Substitute Re-
publican Lies for Democratic
Truths.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-Secretary Post OF
the Democratic congressional campaign COM
mittee, discovered to-day that the committee
was helping along the Republican campaign
by distributing Republican documents. The
Democratic committee has been sending out,
as one OF its principal campaign documents,
speech delivered by Senator Voorhees,
on the Imprisonment of McSweeny, an
Irish suspect, by the British officials during
the Garfield administration, and copies OF
the speech are obtained by the committee
by requ1sition upon the senate folding room.
They are delivered to the committee in large
quantities of several thousand at time,
already folded and in wrappers, and are ad-
dressed by the committees employees and
placed in the mails. 1t appears to have been
the custom of the committee to rely alto
gether upon the integrity and care of the
senate folding room officials, and to
mail the documents received from them
without examination. To-day, however, an
employe of the committee discovered, on ac-
cidentally opening one of the documents he
was about to mail, that instead of Voorhees,
speech the committee was distributing
''where they would do the most good''-a
Republican campaign document entitled
s'History and bencfcence Of protection, !"
made up of speeches on the .protectionist side
of the tariff question, delivered in the house
of representatives last winter An exarni-
nation followed, and disclosed
the fact that all the supposed
Voorhees, speeches in the possession
committee were copies of this document.
Secretary Post went at once to the superin-
tendent of the folding room and took him to
task about the matter, and was informed
that the substitution of one document for
another Was an honest mistake. 1t is not
known how many Republican documents
were sent out by the Democratic committee
They themselves have no means OF estab-
fishing the fact.

The question whether France will carry the

blocking open ports in China. If found
necessary, it says, those will be chosen that

merce. IL TEMPS calls attention to the
absence of an actual declaration of war.
