In Portland, the other day, met
an old line democrat, who had just
returned from Washington, and ask
ed him his opinion of Tabulator
Chase's nomination. s'The only way
out of it," said he, "is to get the
President to withdraw the nomina-
ton, and that the leading democrats
in Portland are trying to do. In
Washington, last week, met Simon
Brown. He had Just made call on
President Cleveland. Brown told
me the President said to him, the
first thing, Il guess l made mistake
in nominating Chase of Portland,
didn't ? l asked Brown what be
told the President, and he said he
told him he didn't You may believe
| pitched into Brown and let him
know my ideas OH the situation with
out reserve. We must either kill
Chase or he will kill u.s."
But while the anti-Chase men are
INDUCING in this sort of conversation,
the Captain calmly and imperturb-
ably awaits the progress of events,
with his helm hard down and his
sails ready to catch every Whit Of
favorable breeze that may come
along. His mouth is screwed up
more tightly than usual, and the only
remark that passes his lips is some
thing of this sort, Gentlemen, |
have very interesting letter file
and if should take a notion to pub
lish some of the correspondence
which l received along in 1879 and
1880, some of the virtuous democrats
of Portland would have less to say
about my connection with the pro-
ceedings of the Governor and Coun-
Gil at that time" The Captain hints
in about SO many words that although
some of the heightened democrats
of Portland are making an under
hand fight against him, they dare
not oppose him openly, for the rea-
son that he has letters written to
him by these heightened democrats,
endorsing the count-Out while at the
same time they publicly pretended
to condemn it. The fact has leaked
out that some of these letters relate
to the formation of wholesale brib-
cry fund.-RdmJler in LeUiston jour

These were the last words aszoyer-

and a charuhhAk ypung lady who called
on him at the taxidermic studio. 1919

'.Yes," said the artist to the reporter

s'Why, hasn't she got it buried yet
lord, sir, she'd faint if anyone spoke
to her about burying it
.sWhy, very few persons care much
about cats, dead or alive. and ! should

exception, would like to have a dead cat

"The clay stRrst'is soft for moulding

leave it to harden. In "a little time it

The wOrn-Out stairs.

The Washington correspondent of the
Jersey City Argus called at the white
house a day or two ago. The sound of
hammer and saw filled the surrounding
groves of trees with echoes. and three
sturdy negroes with hickory sticks We're
beating presidential carpets on the south
lawn of the exective mansion. The cor
respondent approached a tall carpenter
who was at work on the grand staircase.
and observed:
"You seem to be quite busy, my
friend? p
eyes," replied the man Of saws and
hammers, these stairs leading to the
presidents office lfave been considerably
worn since March 4. 4 The great ARMY OF
office seekers, congressman and politi
tians who have clambered up them since
Cleveland took his seat would foot up a
legion. They not only Wore out the
silk Brussels carpet, but they most beau
tifulIy reduced the stair boards to a ro-
tundity. l venture to say the white
house has not been subjected to such
wear and tear before in ten years. 1t is
no wonder the president finds it necessa-
ry to go to the mountains fer recreation.
If he is used upas badly as these. stairs
are he should stay away from Washing
ton for about six months. But con-
cluded the carpenter philosophically Il
should not complain. This job is paying

MILWAUKEE SALOONISTS.

The con test on the license question
is W aging warm in Milwaukee; the
city has about 1000 liquor saloons,
most of which will resist high license
to the utm ost. A Milwaukee paper.
called the Hsyold, espouses the cause
of the liquor sellers, putting in plea
in their behalf, that many of them are
poor and have no other means of sup.
port. So the city is asked to help a
class of poor whose occupation is to
make the already poor poorer. The
Herold paper also claims that the sa-
loon keeper earns his money as Iegiti-
mately as the merchant or the grocery
man. The Herozd forgets to state the
difference. The merchant and the
grocer, if they expect to do business
must sell their articles at fair profit
say twenty to thirty per cent. The
saloon keeper sells his beer at profit
from three to four hundred per cent,
and his Gust omers, in the judgment of
most right shrinking people, get no
whatever for their money.

DEAD.

A telegram from England received
at Racine on Monday last announced
the death of John Tapley, one of Ra-
cine's prominent citizens. Mr.. Tapley
with his wife and niece sailed for
England in May last, intending to
spend ABOUT year in the land of his
nativity. He came to Racine in 1850,
where was his home up to the time of
his death. He was widely known in
business circles in Racine county, also
in Kenosha. He was for several years
connected with the publication of the
Racine Adoocatc; held the office of Post.
master at Racine eight years, and for
ten years held prominent position in
the office of j. l. Ca & Co. He was
director of the Manufacturers Ma
tional Bank. A few months ago he ac-
cepted the situation of Secretary of the
Board of Trustees of the large estat Q
of the late Robert H. Baker. Mr.. Tap
ley was born in Walton House, Kent,
Eng, in 1924. His remains will proba-
bly, be brought to Racine for interment.

UNFAVORABLE HARVEST
WEATHER.

1t is the general expression of Keno
sha county farmers that there has not
for years been more unfayorable
season for haying and harvesting than
the present year. The frequent rains
interrupted the securing of the hay
and grain crops, and rendered farming
operations difficult. This affords the
opportunity for drawing contrast be-
tween the present farming facilities
and such as existed thirty or less years
ago. We have only to consider if
there had been no introduction of i'm.
proved farm machinery since 1850, the
hay and grain crops of this year, could
have only been partially gathered, and
the greater portion must have gone to
waste if hand labor had been the only
reliance. If the old-fashioned grass
scythe and the hand rake, instead Of
the moving machine and the horse
rake, had been relied upon for cutting
and gathering the hay-had the sickle
and the grain cradle, instead of the
modern reaper and binder been the
only implements of harvesting, two
thirds of the hay and grain of 1885
must have remained ungathered, pro-
vided there had been no additional hand
labor. Without mentioning other
modern improvements III agricultural
pursuits, these facts alone illustrate
what labor-saving machinery has done
for farming communities. Since ma
chinery has done so much to relieve
the most exhausting kind of labor,
there should be less lame back people
than a generation ago.
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1885-08-28

entirely monopolized by European ma
tons, while the geographical situation
for trade with the United States is
more favorable. Many important
facts were obtained by the commission
ers; twenty lines of steamers from Eu-
rope connect with the principal ports
of South America, while there is no
regular steamer communication with
the United States. From forty to six.
ty steamers arrive at the port of
Buenos Ayres every month from Eu-
rope, and none from this country.
This is but sample of many facts.
IF the commerce of Central and South
America were secured, as it might be,
the immense surplus of our manufac-
turing interests would find market,
much to the relief of our home trade.
And why is this great avenue of COM
merce not enjoyed by this country 7
One reason, and perhaps the chief, is,
our government has done less to en-
courage trade in that direction than
other nations.

on election day. No charge was pre-
ferred against the men; he arrested
them simply to prevent their voting
Mullen was arrested for this high
handed villiany, convicted in the
United States Court, and sentenced to
Imprisonment. No valid excuse on
the trial appeared for the act. But
the State election is soon to occur in
Ohio, and Mullen being an expert at
doing dirty work, his services are
wanted. Cleveland pardoned him out
Of prison, and Mullen is free to once
more serve the Democratic party.

effect; the main facts hav not been

TELEGRAPH REVOLUTION PRO-
POSED.

The ABSORPTION of the telegraph lines
by the government is not a new sugges-
ton. Itappears the proposal to put the
telegraph under government control
has received a new impulse at Wash
ington, and the measure is likely to be
pressed more vigorously than before.
The negotiations for the consolidation
of the large telegraph companies, if
consummated, will do away with all
competition and leave those who now
do business with telegraph offices at
the mercy of monopolists. The Wash
ington correspondent of the Inter
Ocean says: "The sentiment in favor
of the ABSORPTION of the telegraph bus
mess by the government is growing
fast, and sooner or later such a result
is inevitable"

CHURCH DTSESTABLISHMENT,

One of the issues which will be
made at the next election in England,
when about two million of new voters
will for the first time exercise this
right, it is stated, will be the disestab-
lishment of the English church. The
radicals will make this the main plank
in their platform, and insist that the
church fund shall be applied to educa-
tional purposes. A manifesto has
been Issued urging the enlarged con-
stituency to demand the abolition of
church and state, It is understood
the Episcopal church in this country
favors disestablishment in England.
