The French yiutare,.

This years vintages In France are likely to
be OF quite exceptional excellence. Agood vim
tage, however, does not, unfortunately, mean
what 1t once did, the ravages OF phylloxera our
ing the past sixteen years having so largely al.
miDished the number OF the vines. few ilg-
ures will show what havoc has been made by
this scourge OF French vineyards. Fourteen
years ago there were two million four hundred
thousand hectares OF vineyards, and now there
are not more than one million hectares under
cultivation. Tho production has fallon within
the same period from sixty.two million to
thirty million hectolitres. Not only has ex-
poriation become immensely reduced, but I'm
portation has to be resorted to for the supply
OF this country. Within only the last four
years wines have been brought into the country
from Spain, Italy, and Greece to tho value Of
one milliard francs. OF the million and O
half hectares devastated, not more than twenty
thousand hectares have as yet been replanted,
which is not to be wondered at, considering
that 1t costs as much to replant as the soil It
self is worth. -

Pennsylynnia ConI Trade.

Pottsyille tPa.) Mlners Journal
The week Of suspension relieved the New
York marketof a considerable quantity OF It's
surplus coal, and that going forward this week
is all being disposed OF. There will be no
further suspension this month, and the talk
ON this subject has been postponed indef-
initely. 1t does not appear that there will be
any necessity for further suspension this
proved for nearly all the sizes, and that for
coal for domestic use is fully equal TO the sup
ply. Prices arc more stable, ana the general
condition OF the trade exhibits a marked i'm
proyement. The quantity OF coal sent to
market for the week ended october was
60,50d tong, as against S36,151 tons for the
week previous and 701, ,523 tons for the same
week OF last year. The quantity for the year

FRANK HURD writes to q friend here
that Ohio is sure to 90 Democratic next
Tuesday, because she always has boon for
Free Trade. If that is all the reason Frank
has for believing that the Democrats will
carry Ohio next Tuesday, he might as we'll
own up that he is defeated now, for of all
the States west Of the mountains Ohio is
the most intensely for Protection. That
doctrine has been preached to her people
by the Corwins, the Ewings, the Hurds,
until the people believe in 1t thoroughly,
and have so voted whenever they have had
an opportunity. Frank himself has enough
TO do to save his own head on account of
this very faith prevailing among his own
reople.

The Republicans have always tried to
increase our trade with Mexico and Gem
tral and South America. General Grant,
when, in office, worked several years at the
problem, and Mr.. Arthur has tried his hand
at the same. Those who thoroughly under
stand tho plans and theories of Mr.. Blaine
say that If he is elected he will bring the
whole weight Of his administration to bear
in securing favorable solution of this
problem. The Republicans have developed
our internal trade enormously. Now they
will take hold of our foreign trade, aud
they will solve that question in way that
will greatly rebound to the prosperity of all
sections Of the Union.

THERE was liar loose in Now York last
Thursday night, and his name was Hewitt,
an M. G., and more's the pity. This man,
with brazen brow and lying tongue, as
serted in public speech that the differ
ence between the Republican party and tho
Democratic party is this:
The Democratic party hos faith In the peo-
pie, and believes in their honesty and intelii-
gence. The Republican party holds that the
people are not ht for self-government, but that
they must be governed by a special class who
are to rule tho great mass of the people.
Will this fellow Hewitt tell us why it is,
if the above assertion is true, that the De.
mocracy in large sections of the Union re-
sort to murder, perjury, forgery, arson and
fraud, in order to throttle the free choice Of
those whom Mr.. Hewitt says his party SO
implicitly trusts?
If the Democratic party so implicitly
trusts the people, why is it that in his own
city-nay, in his district-the most gigantic
frauds have been engineered by such Demo-
cratic saints as Mike Walsh, Rynders, Bill
Tweed and others? Nay, if the Democrats
trust the people so fully and unreservedly,
why was Cleveland forced upon an unwil-
ling party by the adoption of the unit rule
last July Why the resort to tissue ballots
of tho South? Why are the Democrats of
Ohio to-day trying to utilize machine or
process for canceling honest ballots in such
a way that the canceling is not visible for
some hours after the honest voter has been
tricked out of his vote? But why ask
these questions of this fellow Hewitt, when
next December he will hail as good Demo-
Gratis mon from whose hands tho clotted
gore of murdered Republicans is still drop
ping? Did he ever raise his voice in behalf
Of the people until he discovered that tho
people were turning their backs forever on
his party? Never And he would not
now be pleading his party's trust in the
people unless he had reason to deprocato
the wrath of the people.

ore people on the streets at La Sale, and

more people on the streets at La Sale, and
al least twice as many torches were in line ;
and il was noticeable fact that Of the
1900 or 1900 hundred torches in line very
few were carried by minors while the
number of men who did not carry torches,
over three hundred from Ottawa alone,
must have swelled the number of men in
line to at least $500 voters, making it the
largest "torchlight procession seen in the
county for at least 20 years.
The Ottawa delegation numbered over
300. The boys had to have that many to
satisfy the cupidity of the railroad compa
nv; and more tickets were sold than that
number. Leaving at 705 P NJ. the train
dragged its slow length along until il
reached Utica, where a carload Of torch
bearers-at least 100-ioined them.
Arriving at La Sale shortly before eight
o'clock, they were met by several hundred
torches and band or two. The boys were
formed into line with Fltzgerald's band at
the head, and marched up the hill into
town. The procession was then formed,
with Nevlns' band in the lead followed
by company of torch-bearers after whom
followed the Ottawa delegation. Then
came Lenzen's band and the Peru crowd 4;
then Mendoza and her band, banner with
a huge portrait of Our Carter and dele
gates with huge hand lanterns, making IA
very fine effect; then followed delegations
from Streator, Tonica, Wenona, Minonk,
Hennepin, Arlington, &c, &c, with four
OF five more bands. The line of march
was up First street to the |. G. depot, thence
10 the residence of f. G. Hegeler, who en-
tertained Mayor Harrison and Mr. Haley,
the speakers, who were thence conducted
down town to the speakers stand, on First
street
The scene on the street was an animated
one. 1t was brilliantly lighted for nearly
the whole length by "A number OF electric
lights hung over the middle of the thor
oughfare, TO which was added the blaze of
light from business houses many of which
We're tastefully decorated for the occasion,
La Sale was certainly out in her fine
clothes, and never looked better in her
life.
Mr. A. }. O'Conor was president of the
evening and introduced the speakers. Mr.,
Haley, our candidate for congress, was
first introduced He spoke but few min
utes, recognizing the fact that the people
were anxious to see and hear Harrison :;
and devoted his time to the tariff, which
he dwelt upon in the light of the platform
Of the Democratic party, as enunciated at
Chicago He also dwelt upon the para
mount necessity of an enlargement of the
Illinois and Michigan canal, to the accom-
plishment of which he pledged his supreme
efforts.
He was followed by Mayor Harrison,
who for an hour or more held the large
audience as a unit, with his elOquence, wit
and sound sense.
1t was about midnight when the meet
ing broke up, and the excursionists return
ed to their homes.
