ALL THE CLAUSES PASSED.
The Government Makes No Con.
cession to the ParneIlites.

LONDON, Aug. 2.--Mr. Goschen,. ,.replying
to Mr.. Healey in the House of Commons,
said that Mr.. Smith had not interviewed the
editor of the Times; that he had not seen
him and had held no communications with
him regarding the commission, and, also said
that he did not know whether or not Mr..
Smith sent to the reporters gallery the
manuscript with reference to the commission
bill which was read in the House, July 18th.
and that the words "and other persons" did
not appear in it,
Mr.. Labouchere called the attention of the
House to the breach of privilege of which
the Times today was guilty in charging the
the Parnellites with trying to drown the
ism unparalleled in the history Of Parlia
ment.
Mr.. Goschen moved that the debate pro-
ceed, to investigate the charges against the
Parnellites, and to this the House agreed.
He next moved that the chairman have pow
er, at O'Clock in the morning, to put the re-
naming clauses. Various amend
ments were offered and rejected. Mr..
Labouchere moved lthat the letters be in
quired into and reported upon before the
other matters. He did not think any men,
Der Of the government was so vile and base
as to refuse this reasonable concession. Ii
the government refused he recommended Mr..
Parnell to sue the Times Sir George Trev-
elyan and Mr.. Sexton supported the amend
ment. The amendment was lost.
The remaining clauses of the bill were
passed after the Parnellites had left the

Bad Democratic Precedent.
lst. Louis be-DemOcrat.I


The Globe-Democrat recently pointed out
the fact that no Northern Democrat has ev-
er been reelected to the Presidency, as well
as the other fact Of even greater significance
at the present time. that no resident east Of
the Allegheny Mountains has ever been
elected to the Presidency since 1886 when
opposed by man living west of that line.
Still another fact may be cited which is q
bad precedent for the Democrats this year.
This is that resident of New York, when
the sole candidate Of either of the two lead
ing parties for Vice President, Is always
successful.
New York has furnished the nation with
seven Vice Presidents. These were Aaron
Burr, George Clinton, Daniel ID. Tompkins,
Martin Van Buren, Millard Fillmore, VIII
liam A. Wheeler and Chester A. Arthur.
Burr, who was candidate for the Presiden-
cy, was chosen Vice President In 1900 under
the original provision Of the constitution
which gave that office to the person having
the second highest number Of votes for
President; Clinton In 1904 and 1908, TOmp-
kins In 1916 and 1920, Van Buren, in 1882.
Fillmore in 1S4S, Wheeler In 1876 and Ar
thur in 1880. These were all the Vice Pres
idential nominees which New York provid-
ed for either of the two great parties except
Rufus King, Nathan Sanford and Francis
Granger. King was confronted by another
citizen Of the same State, while the parties
to which Sanford and Granger belonged
were divided on nominees at the time they
were candidates.
The record shows that fortune favors the
New Yorker when he is the Vice Presiden-
tial nominee. Many candidates for Presi-
dent residing in that State have been de-
feated. For example, since 1886 Martin Van
Buren, John G. Fremont (whose home was
In New York City at the time Of his nomi-
nation), H0rati0 Seymour, Horace Greeley,
Samuel ]; Tilden and W, 5. Hancock, all
citizens of the Empire State, were beaten
when Presidential standard bearers Of their
party. But no New York man, when the
sole nominee Of either of the two leading or
CARNATIONS for Vice President, has failed Of
election, except when opposed by another
New Yorker, as Rufus King, the Federal
Vice Presidential candidate in 1904. was by
George Clinton, from the same State, who
was the Vice Presidential candidate on the
Jefferson ticket, in which year Clinton
won.
In 1888 the Republican party selected its
Vice Presidential nominee-Levi z. Morton
from New York. Morton is not only the
sole candidate of the party, but he Is the on
ly Vice Presidential nominee from that State
which is in the field. Blaine would undoubt-
edly have been elected four years ago II the
party had chosen well-kn0wn and popular
New Yorker, such as Morton, Warner Mil
on the ticket. In Morton's own case, in
deed, 1t may be said that not only the pre-
cedents, but the probabilities and proprie-
ties, also, point to his election, which means
that Harrison, not Cleveland, will be the
next President Of the United States.

ton In November.

LocKPoRT, N. Y, aug. 2.-Asher Free
man bought farm near Middleport, in this
county, and moved on there with his sons in
1915. He and his sons helped to build the
Harrison log cabin in Lockport in 1910, al
though two of them were not old enough to
vote. They also were foremost contributors
of logs, pork and beans and hard cider for
that memorable campaign. Seven sons and
the father voted for Gen. Harrison. The
eldest son, William Freeman, of this city,
now S5, but clear in intellect and almost
sprightly in movement, said:
"Yes, seven of us voted for Gen. William
Henry Harrison in 1910, and we hope God
will spare our lives until November that the
nine OF us may cast our votes for the grand
son, Gen. Benjamin Harrison"
The ages of these remarkable men are as
follows: William, S5; Samuel, SO; Philip,
81; Daniel, 70; Isaac, n; Asher, "a; John,

State Prison WORK.


RoCKLAND, Aug. 1.-The introduction of
new branches of manufacture at the Maine
State Prison is not proving successful VEN
ture. The new classes of work introduced
are broom-making and furniture manufac-
ture. The reason for the ill-success of the
new work is the lack of skilful workmen
When carriage making was the only indus.
try two or three good overseers could keep
the working force in the right line, but with
the introduction of every new branch OF
manufacture there must be an increase OF
the force of:skilled men.employed to oversee
the work. On this account the new venture
has thus far proved the reverse of remuner-
ative. The output Of brooms is about twen-
ty dozen day. In the furniture branch Of
the new work, roller and flat-topped hard
wood desks are manufactured. They are
handsome pieces of work, but for the reason
stated cannot be sold at the going prices
without loss to the State.
