GOVERNOR-ELECT HILL.
He Congratulates the Party ON its Vic.
tory, and Tells his People What it
Means.

ELMIRA, N. Y. November AIN his
speech to his fellow-townmens tonight,
Governor Hill said:
"Even those who differ from me in
their views of national politics will par
don me for speaking briefly at this time
few words of congratulation to the
Democratic party of the State and ma
tion for the decisive victory which it
has won. That victory means that the
great Empire State of New York is a
Democratic State under any and all cir
cumstances. 1t means that the inde-
pendent voters of our State are not con-
trolled by self-appointed leaders of
hypocritical newspapers. 1t means that
these independent voters have aban-
doned the party of hypocricy and sham,
and have effected a permanent alliance
with the Democratic party in the inter-
est of reform and good government. 1t
means that the people are weary of Sec
ti0nal strife and have no sympathy
with party that seeks to obtain power
by keeping alive the dying embers of
of civil war. 1t means that capital and
labor shall receive equal protection un-
der the law, and that the efforts of the
workingmen of the State to better their
condition shall be aided by the neces-
sary legislation.
'In closing, I desire once again to
thank the people of Elmira, without dis
tinction of party, who SO frequently
honored me in the past, for this re-
newed evidence of their confidence and
esteem.n

THE NORTHWEST
THE EDMUNDs LAW.
How It Affects the PolygamOus People
ofUtah-What Bishop Sharp
Has to Say of II.
Especial Dispatch to the Enquirer

OMAHA, NEB., November 4.-Bishop
Sharp, of Utah, who passed through
Omaha en- route East to-day, said the ex.
element over prosecutions of polygam-
lists continued to run high, and is
spreading. Although trials for this
term of Court are over with, the Grand
Jury Is still taking evidence. Bishop
Sharp says that it is true his course in
pleading guilty and pa wing a fine and
promising to obey the law has gained
for him the enmity of the elders of the
Church, and his former friends with
whom he has associated for lifetime
and been linked with in church work
have turned against him. II am now
comparatively ostracised," said he,
shut acted according to the dictates
of my conscience, and Just as in all wis
dom should have acted. NV letter,
which published at the time, explains
my position exactly. lido not renounce
my religion, nor any part thereof /
simply give up the practice of polygamy
because the United States laws forbid
my indulging in it any longer. AS long
as am a citizen of the United States I
do not see how | can do otherwise. If
sI were unwilling to comply with the
statutes would be at liberty to go out
side of United States limits and con-
tinue the practice Of polygamy. think
that after time there will be reac-
ton, and that the people will come to
see that have pursued the best and
wisest course. If those who are so BIT
ter against me could be induced to read
the letter which I wrote at the time,
they would, think, see the wisdom of
my pleading guilty, as did: but they
do notread 1t. AS to any serious results
from the present trouble, it is difficult
to predict any thing. There is some
rebelli0us muttering in certain quarters,
though others are inclined to acquiesce.
[ think there is bound to come reac-
tion to the stand that / have taken.
MOrmons are stubborn. but when they
are threatened with the penitentiary,
when they pass into the shadow of the
States prison, as / did, for instance, it
is reasonable to suppose that they will
come to their senses. The Edmunds
law Is a, severe law, but it does exactly
what it was intended to do. It sends |
men to prison who refuse allegiance to |
the United States in declining to give
up polygamous practices. However, / |
DO not think this great issue will be |
disposed of until represen-
tatives Of the United States and men of |
the Mormon Church meet and discuss
the matter as men of wisdom and justice
should to devise some means of solving
Che question In as speedy and amicable
q manner as Is possible.n

Business and Poitcis.

Nothing can be more diverting than
the ingenious efforts of party organs
and orators to turn the business situa.
uon to account in this Pennsylvania
election. The commercial and financial
columns Of the newspapers perpetually
makes six and seven of the speeches
and editorials. On all hands the orators
and organs witness nothing but busi-
ness distress and ruin as consequences
OF the political change. The mills are
silent, workingmen hunger, trade lam
Euishes, the markets are deserted, John
Roach has been driven to bankruptcy,
the wheat harvest is bad, the corn crop
is too good, the cattle disease is making
beef dear, the Stock Exchange is as
quiet as crematory--all because the
Democratic party is in power.
Yet when the commercial and finan-
cial editors come to report the situation
they put In Q ludicrous light the gloomy
assertions OF the campaign orators and
organs. In the whole stock list there is
d steady advance. In many depart
ments of trade and manufacture greatly
increased activity has prevailed. But
the people are not deceived by the fig

down or provisions and prints are up.
They know that business takes its
course with little regard to the vicissi-
Sudes Of politics. Upon the current
trade of this country European markets,
0verproduction, the spirit Of specula-
uon, the varying relations Of supply
and demand, have tenf0ld more in
dncnce than all the results of party
naneuvering and management.
During twenty-five years of power
the Republican campaigners have never
failed to extract all that was possible
ant Of the business condition Of the
country. When great financial crash
like that of 1878 intervened, or when
the recent depression crept over trade,
politics, they insisted with considerable
truth, had nothing to do with the
calamity. But when prosperity re-
turned with abundant harvests they
claimed all that belonged to heaven for
the genial sunshine and the rain. AS
soon as the Democrats came into power
the same frankly absurd orators and
editors charge upon the malign in
duence Of Democratic administration
all the vfcissitudes In trade, from the
decline in corn to the rise In hops

the Romans did-with a "brIdge of gold"
 Truly does this days work exalt the republic. On this day we stack the arms and haul down the battle flags of life. and call truce in it's sharp conflicts. On this day We clasp hands and forget our aspi-a. tions and hates, turn our backs upon disappeintments and cares, ignore tue inevitable to morrow, with it's obligations and anxieties.
 Having left all else behind that shall distract our thoughts, We may honor our deed and our country, by dedicating ourselves anew to the maintenance of that union under the constitution, bought by the blood of a common ancestry, and now freight ed with more of human hopes and human freedom than all the govern ments of earth combined.
 Let us bridge the abysses of civil strife-not with bridge of gold, but with bridge of patriotic devo tiou to tho institutions of the land we love.

TIE Gazette and Democrat of Lit tie Rock have at last had their toes tramped on by tue railroads. Dur ing the session of the recent legisla- ture it made no difference what the proposition was affecting the rail roads. these journals were the first to take up the fight against it and the loudest to maintain 1t. Then, whatever the hardships were, they were endured by the people at large, but now the laugh has got over on the other side, and the railroads are playing some music and our contem- poraries are waltzing to it as though it was something new. Well, we wish them success in the fight. The matter at controversy between these papers and the railroad is the heavy advancement oi local freight rates, and such an advancement as will yir tually cut trade off from Little Rock. A good many of our merchants were figuring to place orders with Little Rock, and especially for all heavy freights, but with local freights ad. vanced from 33c to 45c on fourth class freight, this will stop. The papers and business men of Little Rock have taken hold of the matter in earnest, and it is to be hoped will succeed in restoring rates to former figures. We think it a very bad step on the part of the railroads to under take to offset increased taxes by in creased freight and passenger rates. The valuation of railroad property in this state we think Is certainly very reasonable and very low, in comparison with that of private eiti- zens. They should be willing to bear something like their share of the public burden, and thIs disposi- ton to extoruon on the public in freights because they cant have their own way in virtually escaping taxation by diminutlve assessment, will do more than anything else to arouse the public mind to where 1t will demand legislation. In talking with our merchants we find them unanimous and outspoken Tn their condemnation of this enormous and unjustifable advance. A great many are of the opinion that this policy by the K. R. will necessitate some means of protection on their part, and already we hear projects talked of looking to that end. It would be good thing for the rail roads to do to restore thelr former schedule of freights.

An Elequent Extract.

The address Of Hon. John Fl Rog. CTS on memorial day, was a most elo- quent effort and one that contained many noble and patriotic sentiments. We quote this choice extract:
 A great writer upon political ethics says that in the history of ali free counties there is no instance of a people being unanimous in senti ment and acton unless they were made so by the imminence of some great and common danger, or by the inspiration of some enthusiastic sen. timent.
 In no free country is this truth so forcibly illustrated as in this coun try of extensive territory. various productions, conflicting maternal in- terests and frequent elections.
 Whatever tends to soften the as. perities which these conditions en- gender, tends to promote the peace, the happiness, and the condition of our people, and to strengthen our devotion to the principles of the re. public.
 It was this patriotic impulse that moved the noble and generous spirit of Charles Sumner to offer the resolu. tion In Congress to strike from the battle flags of the Union army the names of Southern battle fields! That moved the chiyalrous and sin gularly gifted and accomplished $. s. Cox to offer resolution to abolish the iron clad oath, and inspired his splendid utterances: "We are here to exalt the republic. We should remove every suspicion that poisons political integrity or embitters pat riotic union. Why, even Caesar wept for his great enemy. Rivals sleep together in the Walhalla of Bavaria. Even Russia permits a monument to her Polish foes at Ora. COW. The factions of Italy are en tombed under one roof at Santa Croce. Let us bridge over the abysscs of civil strifes as

Crop Notes.

Perryville News: Ike prospects for good fruit crop was never bet ter in this country.
 Paragould Press: A good many farmers are blowing up their cotton ground and planting It in corn. The dry weather prevented the cotton from coming up.
 Columbia Banner: The reports from all portions eff the county are fine, fruit crops, and good prospects for excellent corn and cotton crops.
 Edorado Herald: The weather now is all that farmers could wish The farmer who is behind with his crop now, will be behind in every thing as long as he. lives-sure.
 Malvern Meteor: The strawberry crop will soon be all in the market and fruit growers will turn thelr at : tention to the shipment of early peaches of which there is an abun- dant crop.
 Lonoke Democrat: The straw berry crop around Austin and Cabot, has resulted in very large yield this year and up to the time the Illinois berry ripened. good profit was realized on shipments north and west.
 Osceola Times: Tie crops on Frenchman's Bayen are reported as in bad fix, owing to the drought and cut-worms -the latter being very destructive. and tue prospects at this season for corn and cotton are worse than have been for years.
 Clarendon Sun: D, N. Brake field, who resides in the Pine Ridge settlement, this county, brought us a specimen of wheat which was grown by himself, and it was as fine as any we ever saw, some of the heads measuring four inches. He reports that large crop will be planted in his neighborhood next fall. A good move in the right di- rection.
 Camden Beacon: The prospects for crop generally, in this entire section of the State, were never more favorable than now. The truth is all crops are clean and growing of finely. All the crops in this sec ton are reported in good condition and growing off fine,--this from va rious farmers, and from all sections of the county.

IF the communication from Apple ton signed "Vulgn" in last week s issue had come under the eye of the editor, It would not have come to the light for the sake of peace. We had seen and talked to some of the good people up that way, whose judgement coincidiDg with our own, was that nothing more on the ques- ton that divided that splendid com munity, calculated to add fuel to the fire, ought to be said just now--that nothing at all ought to be said in print except what would tend to pacify and heal up the breach words and sentiments large enough to take the whole community in the scope Of their good will and pacific purposes.
