Incendiarism at CIeveland.

CLEVELAND, O., Sept, 26.-Five incendiary
fires occurred here last night in large business
blocks, mostly set in water-closets Not much
damage was done, but, coming the week after
the two lumber-yard confagratians and smaller
but mysterious fires, people here became some
what excited lest an organized band is trying to
burn the city. The Board of Underwriters to-
day offered reward of $500 for the arrest and
con nviction of any incendiary, and the City Coun-
Gil will probably follow suit at its next meeting.
Tonight there were three more incendiary fires
in business blocks, but no great loss resulted.

Governor Hoadly. of Ohio, re-
ferring to the Cincinnati riots says:
1.-THE root of the difficulty lies in
the unwillingness of reputable cit
liens to respond to the calls of pub
lie duty"
Commenting on the remarks of
Governor Hoadly the New York
Sun says the Discrimination of busy
men to serve as jurors is notorious
ia every large city. If those who
are most competent to do justice in
the jury box and thus evade their
obligations to the public in this
respect they have. no body but
themselves to blame if guilty men
are improperly acquitted. Gov.
Hoadly suggests that the law should
admit no excuses whatever from
jury service, but should compel
every qualified citizen to serve
when duly summoned. There are
strong arguments in favor of this
plan.

Chris. Buckley, the San Fran
cisco politician, recently made a
warm speech against the San Fran
cisco representatives in the legisla-
ture. He said:
We must bring a sufficient pew
er to bear upon these men to force
them to do their duty. We should
hold a mass meeting ard let the
people express their views, and
then if these men betray US they
should be driven from the State.
We sent out of this community, in
1856, men who were a great deal
better than these Senators; if they
betray the people in this emer-
gency. I am in favor of treating
these traitors as the thieves and
murderers were treated in 1856.

A modern Greek legand invests
the holm oak with a very bad rep

about to take place, all the trees
met together and determined not to
lend their wood to the construc-

their word with the exception of
the holm oak The other trees
broke in pieces when an attempt
was made to utilize them for cross
making. The holm oak alone al
lowed itself to be made use of:
wherefore it is looked upoh as &C

The result showed that Clay was
right. This idea is gaining ground
daily that q man must not be too
smart or be known tee veil to be
successful in politics, and this is
what makes the nomination Of
Blaine. Logan, Grant or Arthur
improbable. A recent New York
dispatch says:
1.-The Independent Republican
Conference Commute, held another
meeting yesterday. Letters from
prominent Republicans in the
county were read, showing strong
feeling in favor of Edmunds and
Lincoln for the Presidential ticket.
Although Blaine had many friends.
they expressed grave doubts of his
ability to carry New York, and his
policy, if elected. It was the gen
eral opinion that Blaine, Arthur
and Logan are not men whom it
would be safafor the party to NOM
mate, as candidate should have
better record than any of these"
In saying that candidates should
have better record than these, they
might have said with propriety a
LESS" record.

clusion of our painters and sculptors
from rich foreign fields So it is as to
the more important productions, wheat,
corn, cattle, pork and cotton. If we
adhere to high protection every foreign
country that now trades with us in them
will do all in her power to become in
dependent of lis regarding them. And
why not? Is it not natural? England
is doing it now in making abnormal
efforts to promote the growth Of wheat
in her colonies, and in hampering all
she can our export to her markets of
our slaughtered or live meats. Ger
many and France discriminate against
our meats, too, particularly against our
pork, which their people want but can
no longer buy. In fact our ante dilu-
Wan ideas of restricting trade by a
high tariff are badly crippling many Of
our industries, and notably that Of
agriculture. AS Ex.-Gov. Seymour
says, the claim that it is the duty of our
government to fence out importation
of foreign products which conflict with
our own is reproach to European
governments because they do not i'm
pose duties upon our agricultural pro-
ducts. How very little of these duties
it will take to make such difference
in the price Of our exports as will beat
them down to an Improbable figure.
The 'home market theory will very
quickly be dispelled whenever that day
comes. AS if Yankee would pay five
cents bushel more for wheat, just to
protect his pet theory of protection,
than it would bring in New York for
shipment to Liverpool We have had
years of selfishness and demagogical
appeal to prejudice in this country, but
at last there seems to be chance for
broader and more enlightened views,

tions can no longer be answered by
frantic wavings of the bloody shirt.

Now just read this as an antidote to
Mr.. Blaine's venomous inferences in
regard to the negro vote in the south.
Here is what negro says about the
negro vote. Mr.. Blaine should put it
in his pipe and smoke it: Henry c..
G. Atwood, United States consul to
San Domingo, who has been promi-
nent colored leader in Louisiana, re-
ferring to Blaine's speech says: sits
all bosh. The statement that the COL
ored people in the south were not al
lowed to vote, is not true. There is
some intimidation in the country dis
tricts i'll the south, but very little in the
cities. Certainly Blaine has no cause
to complain. In the third Louisiana
district he got 5000 majority, while
Kellogg was defeated for congress.
The colored people vote as they please.
Look at Bisbce's district in Florida for
instance. Bisbee is republican, but
he was defeated by colored votes. No,
the south was not made solid by the
democrats this time. Blaine lost every
southern state because the colored peo-
pie are stalwarts and friends of Conk-
ling, Grant and Arthur. The slaugh-
ter of Folger hurt Blaine as much in
the south as it did in the north"

CONGRATULATIONS TO GOV. OLEVE.

Baltimore, Nov. 20.-William L.
Vessels, a prominent colored demo-
crat, telegraphcd the following
message of congratulatiOn TO Gov.
Cleveland:
Hon. Stephen Grover Cleveland,
president of the United States. NV
Dear Sir: Please accept the congratu-
ations of 4 colorcd man who used every
effort in his humble way to secure your
election. The civil war liberated the
colored man from actual slavery.
Your election has broken the bonds of
his political slavery and left hlm free
to act inteligently and without preju-
dice on matters touching the best in
terest of himself and society. He can
now join freely and without fears with
the best elements in every community
to advance the good and repress the
bad. This he never could or would
have done had the Republicans succeed
ed and Democratic success continued
to excite superstitious fear, as if por-
tending calamity to his race. Hoping
that you will ever unite with the best
and most conservative of our party in
reaping rich harvest from the seeds
which have just been sown and tha. You
may have before your time has cx-
pired the confidence and esteem not
only of few but of all our people.

tonight the only reply he received to
these dispatches was message saying
that his friends would investigate the
matter and let him know. 'I think it
is hoax" he said, "but if it is really
true the only thing we can do Is to
make the best of it. | know that it
will be a terrible blow to MIR. Willard
for he was sincerely attached to my son
and looked forward to the marriage
anXiously, as something that would Sc
cure the happiness OF both"
The frustrated wedding was to have
taken place at the Metropolitan Pres
byterlan church in Washington. Young
Simpson sent out about 100 invitations
to his personal friends before he left
the city to visit his father i'll Orange.
About 400 others had been sent out by
Mrs. Willard, the design being TO have
the cermony, so far as the church SER
vice was concerned, quiet affair.
Miss Willard was Il student at Il FASH
ionable private school in this city two
years ago, at which Simpsons sister
was being educated. The Simpsons
say the two girls were the very best of
friends, and that her relations with the
rest of the family were also of the most
cordial kind.
1t was said at the house in Orange
o-night that young.
SIMPSON KNEW BUT VERY LITTLE
of Paxton. lie had seen him but once
at Miss Wizards house, and the Young
lady never intimated to him that she
cared straw about him beyond her
mere acquaintanceship with him as
visitor to her parents home. Simpson
had been in Kansas City for several
months previous to his last visit to
Washington, however, and of course
was not aware of what might have
transpired between the young lady and
her old lover. But very few persons
in Orange outside the family knew of
the clopement to- might. lit is hard
thing to tell what any woman will do,
any way" said an acquaintance Of
young Simpson, "and Franks expert
ence shows it in rather uncomfortable
way. He's jolly good fellow, though,
and will be likely to get over the adj
venture. He's not the sort of fellow
to force match of this sort, and if he
had really known that the girl loved
another fellow lie would have grace
fully yielded to her preference"
THE UNHAPPY HERO.
Mr.. Frank Simpson is well-known in
this city and vicinity, having been born
at Independence and having resided in

Our republican friends are pluming
themselves upon their quiet submission
to the results of the election, and
boasting that the fact that we are not
in revolution is proof of the strength
of our institutions. Pity they didn't
think of submitting in 1876, when
Samuel j. Tilden was elected by the
people and r. B. Hayes was counted
in by ten white men and two negroes,
whose memory should be forever in
famous
