den behind his words. They are pure
Saxon, and reach the understanding of
the dullest as well as the most acute in
tellect. His letter of acceptance is classic
for its clearness, it's directness, and its
patriotic American tone. 1t is as fair in
its statement as it is sturdy and invinc-
ible in its logic. What could be more
forcible or concise than this paragraph,
which in few plain words states the
whole case in controversy on the tariff
issue between his own party and the Re-
publicans?
We seek to reduce taxes upon the
necessaries of life; our opponents seek
to increase them. We say, give to the
masses Of the people cheap and good
clothing, cheap blankets, cheap tools
and cheap lumber The Republicans, by
their platform and their leaders in the
Senate, by their proposed bill, say, in
crease the taxes on clothing and blankets
and thereby increase their cost, main
tain high duty on the tools of the farm.

which they need for the construction OF
their modest dwellings, shops and barns,
and thereby prevent their obtaining
these necessaries at reasonable prices.
That is the whole case in a nutshell.

vaults of the Treasury are filed with an

CRIMINAL CARELESSNES
Fatal Collapse of the New Insan
Asylum at YanktOn.

YANKToN, Oak, October 22.-The
walls of one of the new wings to the in
sane hospital, now in course OF construc-
ton, caved in this afternoon on account
of the giving way of an arch. Christie
pher Thompson was instantly killed,
Jacob Lee fatally hurt, and Superintend-
ent d. II. Keene seriously and Michael
Curry slightly injured. Nine other
arches in the structure gave way,
the entire mass of brick, mortar
and timber falling through to the first
floor. Several other arches in the build
ing have given away during the past few
weeks, fortunately without injury to any
one. The matter is now in the hands of
the coroner. The men working on the
building agree that the walls were very
weak Some of them state that there
were two courses of brick fitted between
with bats and mortar. This constituted
the support for the heavy interior fin
ishings. The mortar, they state, was
nearly all sand.

SACRAMENTO, October 22.-Yesterday
morning some hunters started fire on a
small island in the American river, back
of Routier Station. The north wind was
strong at the time and spark of Ere
ignited the trees On the river bank, and
a considerable stretch of fence belonging
to Senator Routier was destroyed. The
fire communicated to a strawstack on
Mrs. +. Boyd's place, thence to barn
which was destroyed together with the
entire years crop Of wheat of the value
of $4,000. 1t required hard work to

How They Really stand on the
ClineAn Ques1i0n.

The New York Press claims to have
the largest circulation of any Republican
paper in the United States. Here is the
manner in which it regards the Scott
Exclusion Act
It was objectionable rudeness to a
friendly foreign power, willing to CO.
operate with us for a desirable end, to
push through Congress bill anticipating
it's action on treaty. There is every
reason to believe that the rejection of the
treaty was simply d dignified protest
against this petty insult. 1t is, indeed,
hard to imagine the Chinese Government
ratifying the treaty after being notified OF
the boorish conduct of the Government
OF the United States. Its rejection was
precisely in line with the severance of
diplomatic relations which a graver in
suit would have caused.
1t is safe to say that is the way Repub-
hcan politicians generally at heart
regard any law whose purpose
is restricting Chinese immigra-
ton. Should General Harrison by
any fatality be elected President, and
should this State cast her vote for him,
there is no rational room for doubt that
the Scott Exclusion act will be repealed :,
and that Chinese cheap labor will come to
our shores as numerously as ever they
did. California voters who are really in
earnest in their desire to exclude the
Chinese from overrunning this State, and
keeping back its development while
keeping wages at starvation level, will
do well not to forget the true attitude
Of the Republican leaders on this point,
but they will vote for the party and the
men who have both proven their interest
in the shutting out Of the Mongol masses
whose presence in this State has been so
detrimental to us all excepting the few
Republican members of great corpora
tions, who have grown rich by means of
this cheap labor

fall upon a pure English diction and a

HEAVY ELECTION WAGERS.
Forty Thousand Dollars I'm Two
Bets Recorded Last Night.

Bets Recorded Last Night.
Hamilton Disston, the wealthy saw
manufacturer, ran over from Philadel
phia Thursday night and had q confer
ence with Chairman Quay yesterday.
That Mr.. Disston unburdened his purse,
as we'll as his mind, was evidenced early
in the evening, when Colonel Swords
walked into the Hoffman House and cas-
ually remarked that he had little more
money to bet. There was nobody about
at the time, but it didn't take long for the
news to travel, and before O'Clock an ac-
ceptance was secured. Johnnie Allen the
bookmaker, felt sufficient confidence in
the outlook for the Democratic candi-
date to say that he would cover Colonel
Swords money.
Mr.. Allen asked Col. Swords how
much he wanted to wager, and Col.
Swords replied, "Ten thousand dollars. !"
"All right" said Mr.. Allen. "I'n
take that even, and will put up a forfeit
OF $500 in the hands OF Billy Edwards
and cover it by tomorrow night at 8
o'clock"
This was agreed to, and Edwards took
charge of the thousand dollars. The
final stakeholder will be agreed upon to-
night.
While this bet was being made in the
Hoffman House John L. Hill sauntered
up to the st. James, where he met
several friends and began discussing the
situation. Wouldn't mind putting a
little money on it," said Mr.. Hill, "but
l don't think there are any Cleveland
betters around tonight"
"You don't eh?" said Capt. Conner,
who was standing near. "Just wait a
minute"
Before Mr.. Hill had chance to change
his mind, even if he had wanted to, a
gentleman was introduced as being will
ing to back his faith in Cleveland. Mr..
Hill said he stood ready to bet $40 900 on
Harrison, and his offer was taken at
once. deposit OF $500 by each man
was placed in the hands of Captain Dan
McGlinch, with the understanding that
the rest OF the money was to be put up
before 6 o'clock on Monday night. Mr..
Hill lost IS, 900 on Blaine in 1884.
The rumor got abroad, too, that while
Dave Gideon, who made the first bet
with Colonel Swords, represented one of
the Dryers, the cash had been furnished
by Congressman Scott.
The nomination of Sheriff Grant for
Mayor by Tammany resulted in several
wagers. Colonel Chase, at National
Democratic headquarters, put up 500
even with a friend that Grant would be
the next Mayor of New York. Two bets
of $50 each on Hewitt were made at the
Bartholdi between guests, who declined
to give their names for publication.
"The betting is larger than have ever
seen it in any political campaign, )" said
Billy Edwards, land the bets them
selves have been greater in amount. If
this thing keeps up, wouldn't be sur
prissd to see them putting up S2O. 600
and $25, 900 at lick before the week is
oyer.--[N Y. World.

Fort RIPLEY, Mimi, October 90
Frank Randall's 1G-year-old boy has been
arrested for the murder of an inoffensive
German named Ziegler, who disappeared
several days ago.
Randalls cousin, John Sumner, con.
fessed that he and Randall were out
hunting, when the latter, who had a
grudge against Ziegler, went to the bank
of the river and called the German, who
was on the opposite side, to come across
as man wanted to see him. When
Ziegler was half way across in the boat
Randall shot him with rifle, killing
him. The body fell into the river.
Sumner kept quiet until yesterday as he
claims Randall threatened to kill him if
he told. Randall will not talk.

in-hands and ties which are destined to
lend splendor to the young autumnal
mans throat.
The new styles do not vary essentially
from the old ones, though there are lust
enough differences to make it necessary
to invest in new tie if a fellow wants to
be in the style.
The four-in-hands are about half an
inch broader than they were. Then there
is the "Kensington," which has two
broad tails that fold over and are caught
by scarf pin. There is large amount
of tie to this new style, and it will have
some value as chest protector.
The colors run, as a rule, to the
darker, soberer kind, though in
plain colors, pale green's, a light
terra-cotta, the most delicate Law
ender, and faintest plum and wine
colors have the call. The patterns on
the figured ties are sprawling arabesQues
or circles of some vivid bright color on a
quiet background. There are dozen
varieties, if the names are to be believed,
but as rule there is more difference in
the names than in the styles.
However, the fall dudelet has some-
thing to exercise his mind on in select
ing a stock of ties. The swellest thing
seems to be one of the dark spreading
"Kensingtons." with a struggling spray
of bright hue climbing around it. There
is variety enough to satisfy the most di-
vergent tastes. The only thing is it's
hard to hit on what will be the choicest,
most stunning thing in the line of tie.
