Philadelphia Telegraph Ind..): There
are political as we'll as other conditions
which are indescribable and it may be
recognized, without being capable of
explanation, that the position Of the Re
publican party has greatly improved DUR
ing the last month, and that that of the
Democrats has correspondingly fallen off.
There is feeling in the air, as il were of
Republican success, the existence of which
even the Democrats admit by their siren
uous efforts in behalf of their candidates

1t must be admitted even by Democrats
that Harrison has decided advantage
over Cleveland in this campaign. The
latter is hampered by his Free Trade mes
sage and his letter of acceptance, by his
abominable administrative record, and his
utter want of enthusiasm. He is not at
all in touch with popular sentiment and
his British and Bourbon allies operate to
his disadvantage. But Harrison knows
how to use good American language to
help his cause. His speeches abound in
common sense lucidly expressed, and
they inspire the Republicans like bugle
blasts. You do not have to read them
twice to be sure you get the sense Alright.
He says what he has to say in clear, plain,
forcible Anglo-Saxon, and the boy just be-
ginning to take an interest in politics can
understand the meaning as easy as the
gray-beard of sixty winters. His speech
es are an epitome of Republican doctrines.

Whiskey in the Mills Bill.

Some of the Democratic papers are deny.
ing the statement that the Mills bill proposes
to remove all federal burdens from the retail
liquor business and make saloon keeping free
throughout the land, so far as the general
government is concerned. If they will turn
to the bill in question and look at the fortieth
section thereof they will find it to read al
follows:
That all clauses of section 1924 of the
revised statutes, and all laws amendatory
thereof, and all other laws which impose any
special taxes upon manufacturers of stills
retail dealers in liquors aud retailers in malt
liquors and retailers in malt liquors are here
by repealed"
How does this strike the Prohbitonists
who are laboring so fearlessly and industri-
ously to keep free whiskey Democracy in
power?--Erie Dispatch.

A Warming.

The modes of deaths approach are various,
and statistics show conclusively that more
persons die from diseases of the Throat and
Lungs than any other. 1t is probable that
everyone, without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the system
and where these germs fall upon suitable soil
they start into life and develop, at first slowly
and are shcwnby slight tickling sensation in
the throat and if allowed to continue their
ravages they extend to the lungs producing
Consumption and to the head, causing Ca
tarrh. Now all this is dangerous and if al
lowed to proceed will in time cause death.
AT the onset you must act with promptness
allowing a cold to go without attention is
dangerous and may lose you your life As
soon as you feel that something is wrong with
your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, obtain a
bottle of Boschees German Syrnp. 1t will
give you immediate relief.

CONDITION OF TRADE.
X. G. Dun s Co.'s Weekly Review of III,
Ganernl Situation.

L. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review OF the
General situation.
NEW YoRK, Oct. OR. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says: Out
side of New York there is a general in
crease in bank clearings over last year OF
about l2 per cent. At ali ports the i'm
ports for the month of September were
81, 900, 900 smaller than last year, while
exports were $S,400,000 smaller, SO that
the excess of imports over exports Of
merchandise was only $2,24D,S24. But
prices OF breadstufIs do not so yield as to
promise free movement, and the ex-
cess of imports over exports for the past
eight months has been more than S94,-
060,000.
Better activity in the stock market one
way or the other is generally expected
soon after the election. The collapse OF
the lead corner and the failure Of the
chief speculation has increased the dis
trust OF other speculative movements
which disregard legitimate considera-
tions. The general level OF all prices
settles downward, iu spite OF the contin-
declined about per cent during the past
week.
The iron market is less firm, though
still OF a waiting sort, butSthere are init
nations that less than SIS has been &c.
cepted for rails. The coal trade also
shows signs OF weakness, while the out
put for the last week reached 96S,540
tons, and accumulation Of stocks seems
rapid. In wooden and cotton manufac-
lures no change is noted, but although
dry goods transactions are called irrcgu-
lar, symptoms of a better demand are
reported, Less trade activity is noted at
Pittsburgh.
The treasury continues to supply the
market with funds, having paid out
during the past week $l,500,000 more
than it has taken in, the excess being i'll
silver certificates. The business failures
for the week number 24G, as against a
total OF 224 last week, and 227 in the
week previous. For the corresponding
week last year the figures were PIG.

II is a question for every workingman

whether he shall lay down his hammer

NEwYoRK, Oct. 26.-The National Dem
ocraticC Committee has not only instructed
its subcommittee in the various States
ofthe Union to get up Chinese parades a
few nights before election, equiPping
Chinamen with Republican transparent
cies, but is also having its agents till
the windows OF Chinese laundries with
pictures Of Harrison and Morton, urging
the voter TO cast his ballo: for the Re-
publican nominees, it bring desperate
effort to make it appear that Mr.. Harri-
son is unduly interested in the welfare
OF the Cinnamon and that he is antago-
nizing American worEingmen by his
love for Chinese labor. In u few towns
where the Democrats have put pictures
of the Republican candidates in the win
dows OF Chinese laundries, indignant
Republicans have at once entered the
building and removed the pictures,
This has had a pretty wholesome effect
and the Cinnamon are apparently not 80
willing to become the tools Of the Dem
oCrats as they were before the Republic
cans took things in their own hands.

ELPAso, TEXAS, Oct. 20.-!The task Of
enforcing the Chinese exclusion act
proves to be no easy one along the Mex.
ican frontier, Elpaso and Paso Del Norte,
Mexico, are separated only by the Rio
Grande, which is at present practically
dry and is fordable for ten monthsof the
year. There are two or three hundred
Chinamep in the two cities, and hereto.
fore they have crossed from one to the
other. Collector Atagotiin is enforcing
the law as fully as his small force OF in
spectors will permit, but it isl an easy
matter for the Chinese to violate them.
Moreover, Cinnamon can easily come up
the Mexican Central Railroad across the
country from Guaymas, or other Pacific
points, and slip across the line into the
limited SLatnE.

New YoRE, Oct. 26.-Irish Catholics
here are expressing in round and un
measured terms their indignation ovel
the action Of Lord Sackyille-West il
writing that letter practically advising .
British American voter in California to
vote for Cleveland at Che ensuing elec.
tion. The letter is talked OF in the ho-
heis, on the streets, in the cafeO, at the
theatres between the acts, in the street
cars. Nearly every opinion expressed is
adverse and the usual conclusion to u
conversation is "West ought to co." It
is rumored that the Democratic National
Committee has been sending out pri-
vateiy Lord sackville's letter to voters
OF English descent and nativity. The
committee hoped that the letter would
not ind its way into print. Ot course
they repudiate it now and think Minis
ter West has been very indiscreet,
but has not done enough for
the President to ask him for
his passports. The concensus OF
opinion expressed everywhere is that
Lord Sackviiie desires both in his pri-
vate and official capacity the reelection
OF Grover Cleveland. Irish Americans
who have been interviewed on this sub
iect express the opinion that an irrepar-
able error has been committed which
the Democratic party will not be able
TO clear away to the satisfaction OF Irish
Nationalist. c.H.

Attorney General Webster Still Delivering
tho Speech Begun Several Days Ago.
LONDON, Oct. 2G.-The Parnell Com
mission again listened to Attorney Gen.
eral Webster's presentation OF the Times
case to-day. The speaker continued to
recite a catalogue ofoutrages supposed to
be traceable to members OF the League,
and then quoted from speeches Of Mr.,
Dillon and other Parnellites to prove
their support of the plan Of campaign.
He dealt in succession with series Of ut,
terances made by Messrs. 0'Brien, Soul
ly, Cox, Kenny and Matthew Harris, to
show their sympathy with outrages, and
he iBtimated his intention TO deal al
length with violent orations OF League
members made in County Clare during
the years 1885, 1886 and 1887. AT this
Presiding Justice Hannen's patience
seemed to be exhausted, and leaning
forward, he asked the Attorney General
Il he did not think he had already given
sufficient indication OF the line OF argu
ment he intended to adopt.
Sir Charles Russell, counsel for Par
nell, suggested that the Attorney Gen
eral might hand him copies Of the speech
es ho meant to quote from, and thu
save time.
The Attorney General replied that he
must deal with all the Irish counties hl
had picked out as atfording the mos
striking proof Of the character OF thu
Leagues agitation. He quite understood
Justice Hannen's hint, and he was desi
rous OF adopting any practical sugges
tions which would enable him TO short
en- his remarks.

to induce either or both sides TO forego

have met with fiat failure. Should the
two columns, which are certain TO con.
tain several thousand men each, como
together there is no telling, in the pres
ent state of feeling, how many would be
hurt. A big free for ail fight will, it il
feared, be the outcome OF a double dem
