The following facts are copied from
the Chicago Herald in reply to General
Logan's recent statement shat the expens
es of the present administration are S54,-
100000 annually in excess of President
Arthur's administration:
The present administration has only
had one complete fiscal year as yet, that
which began on the 1st of July, 1885, and
ended on the 3Oth of June, 1886. During
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1885, which
included portion of Mr.. .Arthur's admin
istrat1on and four months of Mr.. Cleve-
lands first year, the expenses of the gov
ernment were $3.50, 900. The expenses
Forthe year before that, wholly within
Mr.. Arthur's term, were S244 100000
for 1882 and 1888 respectively, both also
within Mr.. Arthur's term, the Federal
expenditures were S2s7 ,OOO,O 900 and $685.
100000. The expenses of the govern
ment during the first complete year of
the CT evelsnd administration, viz, be-
tween July 1, 1885, and June 80, 1886,
were S242, ,OO0, 900, which is S2,O00,oOo less
! than the most economical of the years in
Arthur's administration, and S23,000,O0O
| less than the most expensive one"
| This knocks another republican cam
paign lie in the head.

in the state are rapidly Frightening, and
if something unthought of does not oc-
cur, the entire state ticket may be ex-
pected to GO in with flying colors. Re-
ports received at democratic headquar-
ters are most encouraging, while at the
republican meeting place you have only
to say prohibition" or riot ISSUE" TO
have some of the leaders foam at the
mouth. Thomas NJ. Nichol and the
other stock orators who were hired
for the campaign were loaded
full of blood anG thunder about rioting,
and now that they dare not go into the
country with that they are in quandary,
as the state platform of the party left
them nothing else to talk about. Hod
Taylor still tries TO look boyish and smil-
ing, but his effort has as much the ap
pearance of being forced as the merri-
ment of clown in pantomime.
Lieutenants are being summoned from
all parts of the state, and star chamber
consultations held, but nothing seems to
help the patient. 1t is currently reported
that Senator Sawyer has said he will give
$1,000 to help carry the Seventh sena,
torial district, and that Henry Fink will
try and make the race.

Given the Lie bv History.
La Crosse Chronicle


Chairman Taylor has stopped over.
His address TO the voters of the state is
an incoherent mass of generalities that
worn out assumptions that events have
given the lie to time out of mind. 1t as
sumes that the republican party is the
friend of the laboring man. All the land
stealing. all the monopolies, all thu sub
sidy Credit Mobelier thievery has grown
up under and has been fostered by the
republican party. Mr.. Jay Gould, the
ight-hand friend of James G. Blaine, has
made his millions by republican legisla-
ton. There is not a laboring man or far
mer that is groaning under or striking
against inequalities in taxation and in
the distribution of the earnings of labor
that is not striking against system ofleg-
islation inaugurated and defended by the
republican party. That party has voted
away the land patrimony of the laboring
men of the nation without compensation
to them. 1t has voted millions of dollars
of the peoples money out of the treasury
into the pockets of favored Individuals
and classes, not only without compensa-
tion to them but to their direct impover-
ishmeut. 1t has kept up a system of war
taxes after twenty years of peace, for no
Other possible purpose than the inordi-
nate enrichment of the favored few, and
the inordiuate impoverishment of the
wage earners Of the country. And yet
this party, through its committee chair
man of the state of Wisconsin, has
the effrontery to claim that it,
the party of special legislation, this party
that has created millionaires without
number through legislation, is the friend
of the laboring man and tiller of the soil.
If these are the friends of laborers and
producers, it is about time for laborers
and producers to be delivered from their
friends.

substantially the same, and are we'll
shown in what Mr.. Hopkins says:

like 10 see him elected by 10000, al
though the democratic nominee l consid-

himself up to be Knocked down. With so
much labor agitation as at present exists,
want to see Rusk endorsed solidly.'

from the delighted columns of the chief

1t Grows in Popularity.

Every day increases the popularity of
the democratic state ticket The demo
cratic party is making stubborn and
honest fight for the people against the
combined forces of the monopolistic and
corporation influences in the state, and
against the odds of the false issue raised
by the republicans that Governor Rusk
must be elected as a vindication of his
past acts and as rebuke to anarchy
and mob rule. The republicans cunning
ly hope to cover up the true issues of the
campaign. They expect to down the cry
of the laboring men and the masses OF
the people generally by the absurd howl
that the republican party stands alone as
the representative of law and order.

which he told thsm that they could come

dition of things prevailed at the other
houses and the Pinkertou men still main
tanned their positions, guarding the prop

was caused by the fact that no stock was
ready for slaughtering. Hogs will be On

Emotional Nonsense
New York Star.

The pretense, then. that the question
of the preservation of public order is an
issue in the present canvass is not emily
false, but it is insulting to the people of
Wisconsin and damaging to the credit
and good name of the state. The men
who put forth the suggestion that the re-
publicans are the only people in that state
who are opposed to anarchy, or com
petent to hold in check a mere handful of
ignorant desperadoes. are guilty of an
offense which falls little. If any, short OF
that of the rioters themselves

STOCKHOLM is the head quarters of n
benevolent ar-tip-saving association,
of which the King of Sweden is president.
All members of this society provide
themselves With an apparatus for cutting
off the ends of cigars, with which is com
bined n box for holding the fragments.
This is carried in the pocket, and can, if
desired, be attached to or made part of
the cigar case. At convenient times the
contents of this box are emptied into q
suitable receptacle, kept at home, and
toward the end of the year the entire col
lection of cigar-tips is forwarded to
Stockholm. There they are sold at auc-
tion and the proceeds employed in pro
viding a sumptuous banquet for poor chill
dren. At this banquet, which usually oc-
ours at Christmas or New Year, there is
an illuminated tree on which presents for
the poor children are placed. Branches
of this association have been established
in Germany and Great Britain during the
past few years, and the revenues of the
society are now very large.

How the Riot Issue is Regarded in Milwaukee


MILWAUKEE, Oct. 19.-It is amusing to
notice how fiat the republican riot issue
in Milwaukee has fallen since people
have looked into it and seen on what a
Aimsy pretsxt Gov. Rusk has attempted to
pose before the people as grand old
man, standing as bUlvark before the
people and their liberties, firm
as the everlasting rock against
which the waves of anarchy
would beat in vain. All this sounded
very pretty back in the summer, but, like
paper umbrella, it wont wash" and
the majority of people know that instead
of going into the bulwark business while
here last May, his e1ceIlency and staff
were safely domiciled in the ar
mory guarded by cavalry, artil-
| lery, two companies of infantry
and two Gattiing guns, and that the old
man had no more personal knowledge of
what was going on than he would have had
| if he had remained at his Office at Madi-
SON, and applied deputy's ear as dill
gently to the telephone as he did here.

As Others See Us.
= - -

The political situation II Wisconsin
grows beautifully interesting. The dem
ocrats and republicans have their re-
spective candidates for governor, as have
also the labor party and the prohibition
lists. The latter promise to cast a larger
vote than ever before-larger than their
vote of over 1900 in 1850. The labor
party, on the other hand, are making des-
perate e1ertions, directed especially
against the republican candidate, Gov.
Rusk, toward whom they are deeply en-
bittered by reason of his course during
the late labor troubles In the state. The

Pinkertou Men Fire Into Jeerins Crowd
They are Arrested.

lheN are Arre>tcd.
CHICAGO, Oct. l9.-Shortly after noon
q special train was made up at the stock
yards TO convey q hundred discharged
Pinkerton men back to Chicago. il hsv-
ing been decided to dispense with the
services of 500 of them to-day. As the
men marched into the cars they were
greetsd with yells of derision by the
crowds of strikers and their sympathizers
that surrounded the track. As the train
started, the crowd yelled and threw stones
st the cars. A similar scene occurred at
10th street, where the crowd was very
large and abusive. At this point. one of
the Piukertou men eNasperated by the
jeers pushed his Winchester rifle through
window and fired into the crowd. His
shot struck Dennis Bagley, a we'll to do
teamster of the town of Lake, and it is
believed that he is fatally wounded. The
crowd made desperate rush for the
train which, however, started of at
high rate of speed and has now reached
Chicago. When the train passed through
the crowd at Halsteal street, the men were
again greeted with jeers, when stout
man IN finkerton uniform stepped out
on back platform and fired his revolver
into the crowd. This was the signal for
SeueEh NeusI' ana utteen or twenty
Pinkerton men began to fire their rifles
from the car windows, Fully thirty shots
were fred. Word was Immediately sent
to TIE Chicago authorities, and upon the
arrival of the train here the entire lot of
Piukerton men, together with some
forty nonunion workingmen, who were
also on the train, were arrested, and they
are now all locked up i'll the Harrison
street station. From later accounts, il
appears that the shooting was not con
fined to one man, but that all IN. Fink

About O'Clock William rinkcrtou
went To the armory, and six rinkertou
men were identified rs having done the
shooting who were locked i'll cells. The
remainder of the Pinkerton men were
discharged.

The democratic state ticket this year
is one OF the best ever put up by the
party in Wisconsin. Colonel G.. NJ.
Woodward, the candidate for governor,
was a gallant soldier, and is an able, hon
est gentleman. He would be governor
of the whole people. He would not be
nest-hiding with the gang of corpora
tion fuglers that at each session of the
legislature forms the lobby working in
the interests of monopolists and seeking
to exempt railroad lands from taxation.

minded, honorable gentleman and one
