BEWARE,

The Blaiao managers and their allies
are resorting to ell sorts of lodges in
order TO pick up every faction and ism
and bring them up to the support of the
tattooed candidate. The strenuous eff
fort thus put forth Is evidence of tho
weakness of their candidate. AT Grst
they set out to capture the Irish vote
by promising them that in case their
candidate should be elected "Sigorous
foreign policy" would DO established
which it was intimated, would result in
war with Great Beitain. Then, when
the business men of the country began
to declare that they were opposed to
needless foreign war, and, therefore,
would oppose the election of Blaine, he
was forced to take very conservative
position in his letter of acceptance on
the subject of our forign relations. This
has fallen fiat on tho average Irish
mind, and the Irish boom for Blaine has
tlattened out. Then, when the prohibi.
tionists met at Pittsburg, to nominate
Presidential candidate, these Blaine
managers became so alarmed at the
loss of the prohibition vote, that they
caused two prominent federal officials
to proceed to Pittsburg to head off the
movement, but these men of great NOR
al ideas" reported to their masters thai
the prohibitionists could neither be
bought off nor hired to so home.
Then, through such subtle influences
as republicans know so well how tC
WELD, they induced Neil Dow to de-
clare that Blaine was good prohibi-
zionist aud that he would support him.
THIS was to capture the prohibition vote
for Blaine. All this aroused the Ger.
man voters, who in large numbers, are
declaring against Blaine, aud We no"
find the Chicago Tribune, and some 9TH
er anti-prohibition Republican papers
declaring in the most positive terms that
Blaine is not prohibitionist, that he ID
friendly to the liquor interest. Then
to get the Catholic vote the fact is quiz
etly circulated in Catholic circles that
Blaine's mother was Catholic, and in
Protestant circles the fact is circulated
that he himself has apostatized and is
now a regular COMMUNICATE at Pro
tes!ant church. Such is the character oi
the campaign which Blaine and hi'
friends are compelled to make. 1t must
indeed be humiliating to self respecting
republicans to see that party belittled
and bedraggled in the dust 10 that way.
But already many. sensible men have
deserted the sinking ship and many
more will yet do so.

RARE VIRTUE.

As 40 - A0AV NAAta9 Whea 1V&AAS VNAA-
tors In writing political articles to ad-
here to the exact truth. Their polIt-
ical bias and love OF party are much
stronger than their love of truth.
They write long articles calumn.atlng
political opponents which articles are
q strange admixture of truth aud
falsehood. Notable among this class
are the New York Tribune, the Chi
cago Tribune and the Toledo Blade.
Other papers carelessly take up their
cry and reproduce their falsehoods
accepting them as truth, aud thus
show themselves TO be tho dupes Of
unprlncipled party leaders. OF this
latter class the Hidctte of Salem seems
10 DO conspicuous example. Week
after week In It's attempt to build up
corporaps guard OF supporters for
Butler,it vllllfles Cleveland by calling
him monopolist and puts words into
his mouth that he never used. The
Vidctts In speaking OF Governor Cleve-
lands veto message Of the five cent
fare bill says the Governor ain his ve-
to message TO the New York Legls-
lature took the ground that the leg
islative power which granted a cor
poration charter, could never alter or
amend that character. Now, Gov
ernor Cleveland never said anything
OF the kind, nor nothing from which
the Tiaette's statement might be even
inferred or implied. AS touching
this point, wo give what he did say.
He said: ~ suppose that while the
charters of corporations may DO alter.
ed or repealed, II must be done in
subordinatIon TO tho constitution OF
the United States, which Is the su-
preme law of the land. This leads 10
the conclusion that the alteration OF q
charter cannot be made the pretext
for the passage OF law which impairs
the obligation of contracts" The
truth Is that the Legislature of New
York could not conslitutionally pass
the five cent fare bill for the reason
that it had agreed that 1T should not
do so until the net proceeds should
amount TO certain sum, and In this
matter the owners of the elevated
railroad had acquired vested rights
which the Legislature urder IL
agreement could not regulate or con-
troll. Governor Cleveland heartily
sympathlzsd with the people 10 thei,
demands FOR cheap fares a. will be
seen from the following extract from
IFS message:
al am not unmindful OF the fact
that this bill originated In response tc
tho demand of large portion Of the
people of New Y srk for cheaper rates
Of fare between their places OF employ,
ment and their homes, ard / realize
fully the desirability of securing 70
them all the privileges possible, but
the experience of other states teache.
that we must keep within the limits
Of law and good faith lest 10 the end
we bring upon tho very people whom
we seek TO b~nefit and protect, q hard
ship which must surely follow when
these limits are ignored" No one but
demagogue seeking TO deceive the
people would insist that Legislature
might exercise a power which did
not belong to it simply because
the public voice demanded II. We
hope the Tidette Will desist from this
puerile style OF attack.

The Jewish Advocate, an able and
influential organ of Hebrew opinion,
published in New York City, studies
the political situation with judicial
calmness, and reaches some interesting
conclusions. Among ether things it
says: cit is strange coincidence that
the nominations of both parties should
have been such as aroused vehement
opposition within the parties, Neither
Mr.. Blaine nor Gov. Cleveland has
enemies among the opposing parties SO
determined and implacable as in their
own parties. But there is this note
worthy contrast, that, while Mr. BIaines
opponents are men who command re-
tpeet by their intelligence and high
moral principle, Gov. clevcland's enc
mics are the men whom tie people
regard vith distrustn y

SCANDAL

A correspondent of the New York
San at Washington writes that there is
a person who can expose scandal about
Blaine which will exceed that which has
been circulated about Cleveland. The
writer says it relates to an adventure or
adventures with woman, but the Sun
declines to publish it.

BIGOTs.

The most potent influence in promo
ting infdelity and skepticism is that
spirit among professed christians which
leads It's possessor to continually parade
before the pagan world the claim that
no one can be an accepted follower Of
Christ unless he believe as the possessor
of this spirit does. In our time we have
seen those who would shun and avoid
all church and even social intercourse
with those who disagreed with them in
religious belief. This narrow, bigoted
course is siezed upon by such men as
Ingersoll and used as mighty engine
in propelling forward the car of infdel-
ity and atheism. Fortunately for the
christian world these bigots are few and
far between, and growing beautifully
less, and, in this enlightened day, are
regarded as wrecks of the dim past.

THANKSGIVING.
The Origin. the History and the In
spiration of the Day.


OF al the annually recurring religious
festivals celebrated in this country, there Is
none more fully IN accord with the senti-
ments Of the people As a nation, none which
can be said 20 be as thoroughly American As
this day, set aside b. the President OF the
United States for National Thanksgiving.
Instituted By the Pilgrim Fathers IN l6zl,
less than year after the Mayhower" had
landed them on the roek-bound coast OF New
England, . the harvest having been abund-
ant at Plymouth" as a national feast day II
has no impress of church, no ear-marks OF
pagan superstition. First introduced In
New England, and fostered by the descend
ants of the Pilgrims, as souvenir OF the
early trials OF their fathers, IL was gradually
adopted by the several States, until 1867,
when il was made a national anniversary
As that epoch marked the destruction OF
the only institution which prevented this
nation from becoming one indeed, it is now
the more fitting to celebrate as day which
helps To weld those bonds of Interstate
brotherhood more closely, as well as to
cement the ties of personal friendship and
family affection.
If the exiles on the barren coasts OF New
England could in their comparative wretch
edness find cause for thankfulness, it need
REQUIRE no especial effort on the part of the
people of this day and generation to be as
| fully impressed with the bounties that are
| showered upon them. With peace and more
| than plenty at our doors, we, as people,
would be ungrateful if we did not in some
becoming manner recognize the blessings
we enjoy.
With peace, plenty, and that charity which
| recognizes all mankind as brethren, this day,
| of all the year, can be made one that will
make all akin, tighten the burdens of life
| and help to lift every one to a higher level OF
! enjoyment and usefulness.
| In social and family circles, Thanksgiving
| Day is pre-eminently one that carries with II
| benisons that will remain green in the store
| house of memory from early youth to de-
erepit age. About the groaning board to-
day will assemble parents and children
brothers and sisters, in happy family re-
! unions, under conditions which can never
recur again to the participants as time rolls
on. Toward this day memory will turn IL
after years, and every kindly word spoken
every graceful act performed, every expires
sion of love or friendship, after separation
has broken the circle, will hallow thi;
| Thanksgiving day as others have been IL
years gone by. To enjoy this day properl,
| then, is 10 make the fire of our hearts glow
| warmer, as those on our hearths burr
brighter, to make the melodies of our homes
| sound sweeter, the voice of friendship ant
love more tender, and to gather about III
endearments which will curtain US in
canopy of pleasant recollections when dis
tance, time or misfortunes shall have sepa
rated us from them.

WATSON VS.. WATSON.
The Jury Charged. But No Verdict
Yet Rendered.

Yet Rendered.
The Watson versus Watson seduction case
has again reached the hands of the jury in
in Circuit Court. The counsel in the case,
as Judge Montgomery remarked in his
charge to the jury, "took wild range"
The SO courtesy of the CLOTH was somewhat
strained, and the patience of the Court severe
ly tried, when the learned counsel INDUCED in
personal illusions rejecting upon the prac-
tice of their opponents. 1t was contended
by the defence that the plaintiff in her infor-
nation, charging bastardy on the defendant,
before Justice Potter, had naturally varied
her statements as to dates and places, from
that which she gave few days ago in the
witness stand, and that that fact strongly re-
flected on her credibilty as witness
for herself. Further, her counsel was
several times interrupted by the
opposing counsel, by objections based upon
his giving to the jury matter for their con-
sideration which was not referred to in his
opening speech and which the defense had
had no oppurtunity of rebutting. Judge
Montgomery gave the jury careful and
well adjusted charge, after which they retired
and at late hour last night nothing decis-
i've was heard from them. From the general
complexion of all matters concerned in the
case, it would seem more than probable that
disagreement of the jury will follow, OF
that verdict in favor of the defendant will
be the result
