A PITlFUL STORY


OF Suffering, Destitutiou and Death. that
Comes from East Liverpool.
EAST LIVERPOOL, o., Marh ll.-A far'
mcr coming to town to-day reports ter,
riblo case Of sickness, destitution and
death near Calcutta township, in ham
lot three miles from this place. Living
in .two.roomed house were Samuel
Cooley, his wife and three children, the
youngest but two years old. A fort
night ago diphtheria came in the little
home and the eldest child sickened and
died. A few days later the remains of a
second child were Inferred in the little
cemetery. Five days ago the babe was
taken with the dread malady and the
next ,lay the iather WIS laid PROSTATE.
Worn out and grief stricken, the poor
tired mother at last snccumbed, and to-
dAy the dreadful SORES are forming in
her throat. What makes her condition
worse is the fact that she hourly expects
to give birth to another child. All the
members Of the family resided in the
one room down stains and in that apart
mcnt the children died. The house is
snid tobc fillcd with the nauseating odOrs
that accompany diphtheria, and the
sick ones were unattended save by one
brave woman who for IN hour each day
calls and administers to their wants.

The republicans of Oregon have
achieved great and unexpected VIC
tory. Returns from all parts of the
state of the election last week Monday
indicate that Hermann (republican) for
congress will have seven thousand ma
iority and the republicans will have
the legislature by eighty majority on
Joint ballot. This insures the re-
election of Senator Dolph (republican).
1t is stated that the prohibition vote
was small, which shows that the tenn
perance people of Oregon have faith
that the republican party is accom-
plshing all in the line of temperance
reform that is practicable. The re-
publcans made gains in every county
in the state and the democrats carried
only two counties.
Oregon has usually been a close
state. In 1873 democratic congress
man was elected by l, 151 plurality, in
1880 a republican was elected by 1918
majority and in 1882 by 1856 majority.
In 1884 Blaine had 2,256 plurality. In
1856 Representative Hermann had
l ,G35 plurality and democratic gov
ernor was elected. The prohibition
candidate had 2,753 votes. This year
the prohibitionists boosted that they
would largely increase their vote and
give the state to the democrats, but
their strength has dwindled to almost
nothing.
The result in Oregon inspires the re-
publicans with great courage and
shows that the democratic hopes of
carrying any of the Pacific Coast States
for Cleveland are Elusive. 1t was an
out-and-out fight in Oregon on the
tariff issue. The wool and lumber
interests of that state are large, and the
people are not disposed to accept the
anti-protection theories of the admin
istration. The result is very depress-
ing to the democrats, for it is well
known that extraordinary efforts were
made by the administration to carry
the state. Smith M. Weed and other
democratic politicians Gone federal
office-holder) were sent to Oregon to
fix things" by the employment of
their customary inscriptions methods.
Their mission signally failed and they
can now carry on their " fine " political
work nearer home.

Notes and Opinions.

IT has recently been decided by the
supreme court of Pennsylvania that
Sunday marriages are null and void,
THE business in congress during the
past week has been light. The tariff
bill still consumes the greater part of
the time in the house.
MAYOR HEWITT of New York de-
clares that he will not vote for Cleve-
land for the reason that the president
has no craftsmanship.
THE Rochester Democrat thinks the
republicans could lose Minnesota, Wis
consin and Indiana and yet win with
the East solid for their candidate.
THE newspaper editors in Dakota
will hold convention in a few days to
express their desire to have the terri
tory divided and admitted as two states.
CLEAvELAND AND THUsMAN" is
the style in which the democratic
Woodstock Age prints the st. Louis
ticket. The proof-reader appears to
be abroad.
EX-GOVERNOR PORTER of Indiana
has been selected to present the name
of Ben. Harrison to the republican con-
vention. 1t will be a notable speech.
Let the Indiana delegates stick to
Harrison.
ELEVEN of the sixteen delegates
from Maryland to the Chicago conven-
ton who were for Blaine first, last
and all the time, are now for Depew,
and Harrison is their choice for the
second place.
HARRISON had father who whipped
Tecumseh, grandfather whom Wash
ington admired, and further away
ancestor who fought with Crom-
well. This is a good wear-and-tear
record for any anvass.-NeW York
Herald.
MOST of the Pennsylvania delegates
to Chicago, when asked where they
stand on the presidential nomination
now that Mr.. Blaine is out, have de-
clined to commit themselves and have
resolved to reserve their judgment un-
til they can act with full knowledge.
THE prohibition convention at In,
dianapolis Endorsed nearly everything
female suffrage, protection, free-trade
abolition of internal revenue, civil
service reform, uniform marriage and
divorce laws, etc.-but failed to put into
its platform faith-cure plank, though
there are several holes where one
would fit.

Adopting Confederate Ideas.

The Boston Traveller of last Saturday
has an editorial which presents phase
of the domination of the democratic
party of confederate ideas on free-trade
that deserves attention, and from which
the following extract is taken: "The
democratic party is composed of the
old slave states and the city of New
York. OF the slave states eleven were
in the confederacy. They made a
government, they framed a constitution
and in that constitution they set forth

The United States Senate.

The closeness of the United States
senate politically is a matter of no
little interest at the present time. The
senate now stands thirty-nine repub-
licans and thirty-seven democrats, and
the election of a democrat in Virginia
to succeed Riddleberger, if there are
no other changes, will make the senate
of the next congress stand thiry-eight
republicans to thirty-eight democrats.
The republican triumph in Oregon Sc
cures the return of republican sue
cessor to Senator Dolph, which will
leave the figures as already stated.
The republicans whose terms will end
on the 4th of March next are Bowen of
Colorado, Cullom of Illinois, Wilson of
Iowa, Plumb of Kansas, Frye of Maine,
Hoar of Massachusetts, Palmer of
Michigan, Sabin of Minnesota, Man
derson of Nebraska, Chandler of New
Hampshire, Dolph of Oregon, Chace of
Rhode Island and Riddleberger of Vir-
ginia. OF these Mr.. Wilson has been
reelected and democrat (Mr. Bar
bour) has been elected to succeed Mr..
Riddleberger. The outgoing demo-
Gratis are Messrs. Morgan of Alabama,
Berry of Arkansas, Salisbury of Della
ware, Colquitt of Georgia, Beck of Ken
lucky, Gibson of Louisiana, Walthall
of Mississippi, Kenna of West Virginia,
Mcpherson of New Jersey, Ransom of
North Carolina, Butler of South Caro-
lima, Harris of Tennessee and Coke of
Texas. OF these Messrs. Beck and
Walthall have been reelected. OF the
democrats whose seats remain to be
filled New Jersey is probably the only
one in which the republicans have a
good chance of electing a republican
senator, though they have a possible
chance in West Virginia. OF the out
going republicans whose successors re-
main to be chosen there is not single
seat that can be considered doubtful.
The admission of South Dakota as a
state by the next congress would give
the republicans two more senators, but
this gain might be offset by the admis-
sion of another territory that would
come in as a democratic state. All de-
ponds, however, upon the political COM
plexion of the next house of representa-
tives. In any event the next senate
promises to be too close to be comfort.

their ideas as to system of protection.
The last clause of section eight, article
one, of the constitution of the confeder-
ate states, is in these words: But no
bounties shall be granted from the
treasury, nor shall any duties or taxes
on importations from foreign nations
be laid to promote or foster any branch
of industry Here is concise declara-
ton of a free-trade policy as dis
tinguished from the protective system.
Have the men who formed that govern
ment undergone any change in opinion?
Are they not the men who are now rul-
ing the democratic party and debating
the policy of the country?
We have not taken the trouble to
examine the list of representatives
from the confederate states. OF the
senators we can speak. We name the
senators who were in the military or
civil service of the confederate states
Morgan and Pugh of Alabama, Jones
and Berry of Arkansas, Pasco of Flor
ida, Brown and Colquitt of Georgia,
Blackburn of Kentucky, Gibson and
Eustis of Louisiana, George and Walt
hall of Mississippi, Vest of Missouri,
Ransom and Vance of North Caro-
lima, Butler and Hampton of South
Carolina, Harris and Bate of Ten
nessee, Daniel of Virginia, Kenna and
Faulkner of West Virginia and Coke
and Reagan of Texas. Here are
twenty-four senators-many more than
majority of the democratic party
in the senate-who either aided in
making the constitution of the confed-
crate states or accepted office under it.
They are now the controlling force in
the government of the United States,
and they are engaged in transferring
this feature of the constitution of the
confederate states into the policy OF
the United States.
elm presence of this peril there is
one chapter of history to which refer
ence can not be too often made. II
there had been free elections in the
South from 1874 to the present time nc
serious attack could now be made upon
the labor and capital of the North
There can be no trustworthy American
policy until there are free and hones
elections in the South. The manufac
turers and laborers of the North SHOULD
understand that when they abandon
the negro in the Gulf States they pu
in peril their own dearest interests
By force and fraud the men who
organized and defended the confeder
acy have been transferred to the con
troll of the government of the United
States, and they are now striving tt
substitute the constitution of the con
federacy for the Constitution of the
United States in reference to the sys
tenn of protection"
