ReroIt of the sta1warts.

Sixty Republicans OF the stalwsrt fac
ton. who reside at Utica, New York,
Conkling's old home. have issued a circu-
lar deDouncing Blaine and affirming their
purpose 70 oppose him by every means in
their power. They say that they repre-
sent several hundred stalwarts in their
county.
This Is the first indication Of a revolt
among the stalwarts. Il is one Of the
hardest blows that Blaine has yet re-
ceiyed. With the stalwarts against him,
the most enthusiastic of his supporters
can have little or no hope that he will
carry New York.
He has no reason 20 expect the stall
warts to help him. He has never been in
sympathy with them and has used his in
fuence to crush them. It has been shown
beyond all question that in May and June,
1880, his brilliant cousin, Mary A. Dodge,
wrote a series Of bitter editorial articles
attacking the stalwarts, which were in
dorsed by Blaine and printed in the New
York Tribune. These articles show the
greatest contempt for Logan, Cameron
and Conkling and other stalwart leaders.
Senator Hoar and other Massachusetts
statesmen are characterized as political
hermophrodites. Even Grant comes in
for a share OF abuse.
Blaine's dislike CT the stalwarts was
further shown when Secretary Folger was
a candidate for Governor OF New York.
He virtually advised the half breeds to
allow Folger to be beaten, and TO look out
for members OF Congress.
With record like this what reason has
Blaine TO expect the support of the stall
warts: II they do not make him feel their
resentment they wiz show themselves to
be possessed Of more forgivIng DISPOSE
tons than are generally found among
those who take an active interest in po-
Htical matters.

A 5000 Cleveland Fund.

A correspondent, who is willing
to head the list, proposes in to-day's
MORNING NEWS TO be one u twenty-five
persons to give 500 each to make
a $4,000 Cleveland and Hendricks cam
paign fund. This would be a handsome con-
tribution to come from a Southern city. We
don't think, however, it would have any
influence with President Grover Cleve-
land in his acts regarding any national
legislation affecting Savannah's interests.
But such fund would do good just now
in helping our Democratic brethren in
the North in counteracting the effect of
the millions which are being contributed
by Republican monopolists and Office
holders to buy voters in Northern States.
Every city and every citizen will be bene-
fitted by the triumph of the principles
represented by Cleveland and Hendricks.

The Origin of Banging the Hair.

The desire Of fashionable lady who,
but for a villainOusly low forehead would
have been handsome, to set fashion that
would place her on a footing with her
more fortunate rivals. is said to have been
the origin Of bangs" but tradition has it
otherwise, viz: In the Jardin des Plantes,
in Paris, the Department Of Natural His
tory has place appropriated to apes. A
leader Of the ton asked to see how a large
female ape would act before looking
glass. Her request was granted. The first
thing the ape did was TO look behind the
glass, neXt to attempt to break it open.
She was, however, prevented from doing
it any harm. She finally got an idea Of
its use, and at once COM
menced banging the little edging of
hair over and near her eyebrows. Amused
at this, the lady determined to try her
power In setting the fashion among
women Of banging the hair. She put her
idea into practice. Few French women,
however, were caught, while the Ameri-
cans in Paris took it up with enthusiasm
and carried it over the Atlantic, where it
is now more fashionable than ever. Some
philosophers consider this a very strong
argument in favor of the Darwinian
theory Of the origin of the human race
from Simian progenitors of arboreal hab-
its, and of the degeneration of the Eu-
ropean type in America, as once held by
the scientists OF the old world.

THE ARTFUL DoDGER.
Blaine and the Electoral Commission

Blaine and the Electoral Commission
Bill.
The two leading Independent papers
Of Massachusetts, says the Buffalo
Courier, have recalled the action Of Blaine
as a United States Senator from Maine on
the electoral commission bill Of 1877, un-
der which Hayes was counted in. Blaine
was one of fourteen Republican Senators
who voted against the bill. With refer
ence 20 this vote the Boston Herald says /:
she Blaine) did Oppose the bill at the
last moment, when he was sure that the
bill would pass, but the day before he
went to Senator Howe, OF Wisconsin,
and urged him, with a good deal OF mag
netic elOquence, IN labor with Senator
Hamlin to get him to vote for the bill.
The writer of, this paragraph had
the fact directly from Senator
Howe. Blaine wanted the bill to
pass, but thought vote against 1t would
be better for him politically, for obvious
reasons" On this as on other public
occasions Blaine acted as an "artful
dodger." He perceived that the coup
d'etdt which a majority OF the Republi-
cans in Congress faYored-tne counting
the votes by the President of the Senate
would either be abortiye or ruin the party,
and he therefore wanted a peaceable and
orderly solution of the dispute. Yet he
had not sufficient courage and firmness to
separate himself from the desperadoes
who favored an utterly lawless act be-
cause they could not believe that any
tribunal would sustain the electoral
frauds. Blaine, therefore, exercised his
influence in one direction and voted in the
other.

TheSsptember crop report of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture Of Tennessee places
the yieldof corn, cotton and tobacco much
below the average on account of the pro-
longed drought. Owing to the same cause
little preparations for sowing wheat had
been made up to the end of the month.
The sorghum crop, now quite large in
some sections, is reported as fine. The
report Of the State Weather Bureau is
quite interesting, and is a valuable docu-
ment. Every State ought to have a
weather service connected with its agri-
cultural department. The reports Of the
United States signal service are very
valuable, but are too general to do away
with the necessity for State weather bu-
reaus.

To Give Him Another Lesson.

Y. tells the story of his duel to friend,
says the Paris Figaro:
"You see, about three months ago we
got into a discussion about politics, and
ne gave me slap in the face. OF course
after that all amicable arrangement was
impossible, so demanded satisfaction -
"And got itr'
eyes; we met next morning and got
a thrust in the ribs, and this is the first
time I've set foot outside of the house,"
"Ah. there he goes noW-On the other
side of the street."
'Yes; so it is. BY heavens, he is
laughing at the way am crawling along.
Never mind; only wait till / get round,
and then see if don't give him another
lesson"

The Laekawanna Pa. Iron and Steel
Company has made contract to furnish
the Canadian Pacifcs Railway Company
with steel rails at $2s so per ton delivered.
This is cheaper than the English mills can
afford to take the contract at. How far
this transaction goes to show the folly of
continuing the present prohibition tariff
on steel rails is question 10 be decided
by every intelligent man for HIMSELF
Probably the most outspoken protection
list will not contend that the roads of the
United States should be at the mercy Of
the American rail mills in order that the
Canadian roads may be furnished at a
low price.

The clerks in the departments at Wash
iBgton who claim residence in doubtful
States are having a pretty hard time of it
this year. They are taxed not only to
help along the State elections, but are ex-
pected to contribute to the success of the
national ticket. Jay Hubbell, it was
thought, was the prince of collectors of
campaign assessments, but he was a mere
child in the business compared to the men
who are now squeezing the employees of

The next President will have an oppor-
tunitv to appoint two Major Generals and
two Brigadier Generals of the regular
army. Within the next four years sew
eral general officers will reach Ga years
OF age and win be placed on the retired
list. The four Generals to be retired are
Brig. Gen. Augur, who will go out on
July 10, 1885; Maj. Gen. Pope, March 16,
1886; ms. Gen. Sackett, April IA, 1886,
and Maj Gen, Hancock, Feb. IA, 1888.
The retirement of Gen. Augur in July
next will probably bring to Col. Wesley
Merritt, of the Fifth Cavalry, the star Of
a Brigadier. Maj. Gen. Pope, who is the
Junior in his grade, will probaly be sue
ceeded by Gen. Howard, who is first on
the list of Brigadiers, which will make a
vacancy to be filed by the promotion of
Colonel of the line. Upon the retirement
of Gen. Mckenzie the vacancy was filed
by promoting Col. Stanley, of the Twenty
second Infantry. Should Col. Merritt, of
the Fifth Cavalry, be selected to succeed
Gen. Augur next July the vacancy which
will occur in March, 1886, upon the re-
tirement Of Gen. Pope, should be filed
from the artillery, of which arm Col.
Ayers, Of the Second Regiment, is the
senior Colonel. Gen. Sackett will, Of
course, be succeeded by an officer of his
own corps. The ranking Colonel of this
corps, Col. Nelson Il. Davis, is marked
for retirement on Sept. 80, 1885, and Lieut..
Col. Roger Jones is therefore likely to be-
come Inspector General upon the retire
ment of Gen. Sackett.

MAGAZINES.

MAGAZINES.
The November number of Outi1d brings
the magazine into new prominence in the
added space given to yachting matters.
This form of outdoor pleasure is represent
ed in several articles Of unusual interest,
by full record of nautical events, and
by the "Yachtman's Song" words and
music by L. F. Abbott. "a Winters
Cruise in a CatbOat," by J. II. s., is a
practical paper, timely and entertaining.
"a Memorable Voyage is a sea sketch
of great interest, by Frank II. Converse.
ga Scamper in the Nor'west," by J. A.
Frazer, profusely illustrated by the
author, is the leading article, and gives
the reader some fascinating glimpses of
the shores of the "big sea-water'' of Supe-
rior. The Wheelman Company, It's IRE
mont street, Boston.
The November edition of the Century is
the largest ever printed of that magazine.
Besides the first chapters of Mr.. Howelps
new novel, 1.-THE Rise of SiIas Lapham,"
the story of an American business man,
its fiction includes "a Tale of Negative
Gravity" by Frank r. Stockton; "Free
Joe and the Rest Of the World" an illus
trated story by Joel Chandler Harris, and
s'The Lost Mine," by Thomas A. Janvier,
with full-page picture by Mary Hallock
FOote. Gen. Beauregard, in his article on
the "Battle of Bull Rum" gives the rea-
sons why the Confederate victory at Bull
Run was not followed up by an attack ON
Washington. He also discusses his per-
sonal relations with Mr.. Davis, and criti-
cises, with much plainness of speech, the
subsequent conduct OF the war on the
Confederate side.
The November Eclectic, made up of the
cream of the current foreign magazines,
sustains its high reputation. The selec-
ton is good, giving the reader pleasant
alienation of light and grave matter.
Among the more solid articles to which
special attention may be called are
Modern Mysticism" by W. S. Lilly:
"What Dreams are Made Of" by DR..
Andrew Wilson; English Supremacy In
the East" by F. Buckley Johnson; "Pro-
lection from the Workman's Point of
View" by William J. Harris; and 1.-THE
