and doubtless will be here. His stop
at Kenosha will be twenty minutes.

The general business of the country
is not regarded prosperous, nor is there
stagnation. The necessares of life
were never more abundant and easy
OF obtainment. Employment for work
ing-men is not more than ordinarily
difficult to be found Still business Of
most kinds does not move on smooth
ly; there is hesitancy. 1t very natur-
ally might be inferred that with our
bountiful harvests, and with no par
ticular stringency in the money mar
ket, trade would be brisk and activity
every where prevailing. The truth is i,
the country is in a state of distrust,
and there is lack of confidence. The
reason for this condition of things is
apparent; what may happen on the
first Tuesday in November next, in the
minds of great number, is matter
of doubt. With change of admins
tratiOn there win come changes of
governmental policy. producing dlsas-
trous consequences. The Democrats,
if in power, would not be content to
let we'll enough alone. The country
has been in condition of unparallel ed
prosperity, financially, since the Repub-
llcan party came into power, except
there have been money panics, caused
by heavy business failures, for which
the government was in no way re-
SpoDsible. The Democrats insist that
every thing is going wrong, and they
propose to right it. When asked to
tell what part of the financial ma
chinery of the government is wrong,
they cannot answer; they really do
not know. During all this fall cam.
paign no Democratic orator has at
to point out any radical de-
feats iN the general machinery of the
government, as it has been running for
a dozen or more years. But nothing
would be more natural, in the event of |

Of the Democrats, than that they should !
begin tinkering with the currency,
which is the best system in the world. |
All past history proves that legislative
with currency regulations
invariably produces a panic in the bus
ness affairs of the country. But it
nay be said the Democrats will not

Probably almost every one has heard
of the terrible tragedy at La Crosse
last week, on Thursday night. Mr.. F.
A. Burton, prominent citizen of La
Crosse, President of the Blaine and
Logan Club, was shot and killed with
out warning by vile miscreant by the
name of athaniel Mitchell. Mr.. Bur-
ton was engaged arranging Blai le
and Logan club in the order of march
ing when the shooting was done. The
murderer was Immediately arrested
and taken to Jail, but was soon after
taken from prison by Infatuated citizens
and hanged to a tree.
No one will attempt to make political
capital out of this most foul and in
famous murder; it will be denounced
alike by all parties. But this killing
at political gathering very naturally
brings to mind the frequent killing at
political meetings in some of the South
ern States, and which are now referred
to, not because the La Crosse affair has
any relation to them, but mentioned
simply as matters of history. When a
Republican is shot at a political meet
ing or election in Mississippi, or some
state of like character, the murderer
is not seized by the mob and hanged /,
nor thrust into prison, but is sheltered
from the penalties of the law. Prob
ably the reader will recollect case in
point which occurred last spring in
Copiah county, Mississippi. An infiu-
entail Republican leader, white man
and not a carpet-bagger, by the name
of Mathews, was shot and killed by a
man named Wheeler while in the act
oe voting. Wheeler was not arrested.
and when it was proposed to summon
coroners jury, Wheeler said, it was
unnecessary to go to that expense, for
all knew he killed Mathews" The ex-
cuse for killing Mathews, he was a
troublesome Republican" 1t will be
remembered that this case of violated
law governing elections was brought
to the attention of Congress, and that
a resolution was offered in the Senate
to appoint committee to investigate
the non-enforcement of law in Coplall
county. The record shows that the
Democratic Senators all voted against
the resolution, but the Republicans
carried it by a close vote. The com
mittee Investigated the condition OF
affairs In Copiah county, found the facts
substantially as here stated, and re-
ported accordingly. Here the matter
ended. If courts and juries in the
South will not convict for criminal
offenses in political matters, then crime
goes unpublished.
Lynch law is dangerous exercise
of brute force, and never ought to bt
encouraged, but if ever there was a de.
mand for swift justice, without the
laws delays, it was at La Crosse on the
night of Thursday, last week.

would be known of the policy until
after the fourth of March next, there
fore there would be a long period of
doubt, conjecture and business demon
alizatlon. Let the spirit that animated
the people to save the Union in the
days of the rebellion again come to the
front, and save the country from i'm
pending calamity.

Preparations have been made for

Our Democratic neighbors affect to be
amazed to see how Republicans can be
content with their majority in Ohio.
Their grounds for contentment are the
following: Last year, at the October
election, the Democratic majority in
Ohio was 2,529; and suppose this year,
if it were only 10000 Republican ma
jority, 1t shows Republican gain
since October last year of 22,529.
Such gain gives the Republican party
cOntentment.

1t appears from the Ohio returns
that the Prohibition vote in the state
has fallen off one-half from two years
ago. This is not because temperance
has refrigerated in OtiO, but for the
reason intelligent temperance men
were unwilling, in this important
election, to throw away their votes on
st. John when they were needed to
sustain good government.

no man in America surpasses Mr..

states he has sometimes made a dozen

fers from what he had said before. His
speeches are always dignified, neverin-

1t has been limited that perhaps
after all New York will not get a
Cabinet place notwithstanding the
prominence of the State. The sup
position is based upon the a.sump-
ton that Cleveland will make it his
aim to heal up all the breaches in
the party, and to strengthen it for
the next Presidential election
Washington Telegram.
It is well-known that the Demo-
cratic party of New York is divided
into two factions, which are nearly
even numerically. Cleveland was
nominated as compromise candi-
date" for Governor IN 1852. He
was not a prominent politician and
not identified with either wing of
the party. When he entered upon
his Gubernatorial duties he labored
to avoid the factional whirlpool and
succeeded pretty well. But after
he became an aspirant for the Pres
idential nomination he met the OPP
position Of one Of the two wings.
1t is this breach in the party that
the above telegram refers to. But
is it not little early " to tax
about preparing for the next Pres
idential election ? The Democrat
ic party is composed of extremely
discordant material, both in lead
ership and rank and file. This
hungry mass is to be appeased by
office, and the material will run out
and become exhausted before one
tenth of the office seekers are sat
isfed. The two wings of the
party in New York both ask
for seats in the Cabinet. Both
cannot be grati6ed. Hence some
one suggests that New York better

the sake of harmony. Bat Office
seekers cannot live on and will not
be satisfied with harmony"
