The Reasons Why am a Republican
[By j. Ellen Foster.l


am Republican by hereditary influ-
ence, past environments and present convic-
tions. Because:
First. The Republican party in the past
has stood for all that is liberal and progress
sive in legislation.
Second. The Republican party freed the
slave.
Third. The pronounced and emphatic
legislation on moral questions has come most
largely from Republican legislators.
Fourth. The Republican party has always
been the champion of neutrality-suspicious.

lection to the ballot box. protection to the
wage Garner, protection to the wage payer
and now, right in line with its past profes |.
sions and performances it declares pro tee.
ton to the home.
Fifth. The friends of the liquor interest
in the ranks of the Republican party are few
and far between.
Sixth. The Republican party has stood
for the most advanced temperance legisla-
tion which the people demanded and in very
many States has made open declara-
tion Of enmity against the saloon.
Seventh. IRE Republican party deals
with conditions of the temperance work, not
theories, The ideal is not always instantly
attainable; it is better that the majority OF
the great. struggling groaning mass should
gain one inch in altitude than that few
should by separating themselves into an
"holier than thou" party attain supernal
heights.
Eighth. The Republican party by reason
Of its powerful position in this country is
able to consistently promise the redemption
OF Its pledges, while the so-called pronibi-
tion party, even If the sincerity of its
pledges be admitted, cannot, for many years
at least. fulfill any of them.
Ninth. The best types of American man
hood are represented in the persons OF Ben
jamin Harrison and Levi p. Morton.
Tenth. The record of the Republican
party proves ii to be made up of men out
of whose brain and heart reforms have come
in the past and are likely to come in the
future.

Police and Strikers Again In Collision
In Chicago.
One Car Runs the Gauntlet OF Flying
Brickbats.

CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-The first attempt TO
run car on the West side was made this
afternoon. and resulted In a serious riot. The
car was guarded by half dozen policemen,
headed by Capt Aldrieh. The crowd stood
twenty deep on both sides Of the car, and
the police were arrayed on the inside Of
these walls Of frantic men. A stone as big
as a fruit can crashed through a window be-
fore the car had proceeded 20 feet. Every
body dropped on the floor, while a shower Of
stones pelted the sides Of the car The
driver held the reins brayely, though his
lace was as white as a sheet. At the second
shower OF stones, half brick struck him on
the temple and he fell behind the dashboard,
but Immediately arose and once more took
the lines. The car was stopped for the third
time ~ Warren avenue. Capt. Aldrich was

Thus far the police had used 0niy their
clubs, but as the ear advanced to the intersec-
tion OF Madison street and the avenue, the
police caught one striker in the act Of throw
Ing stones and arrested him but In less than
minute an hundred strikers had piled ON
the police and rescued him. The car now
turned the corner, and started down Madison
street, the infuFiated mob following and
throwing stones. At Leayitt street the mob
boarded the car an attempted to drag the
driver from his position. patrol
wagon load OF police rode both In
front and behind the car.
They dism0unted and charged on the crowd.
This time the maddened strikers held their
own and threw stones at the blue coats. One
man struck Lieutenant Shea and the officer
followed his man through the crowd. He
pulled his revolver while running, took de-
liberate aim and fired, but his bullet missed
and the strikers scattered In every direction.
!, From that time on there were no missiles
thrown, although number Of the mob fol-
lowed on foot as far as Halstead street. The
car advanced, crossed 10 the South side and
returned without further injury or attack.

An Embarrassing situation,

LONDON, Oct 10.-The death Of Sir A.
Musgrave, Governor Of Queensland, has
placed the Government in an embarrassing
position with regard to the appointment Of
his successor. The place would gladly be
given to either Lord Randolph Churchill or
Mr.. Henry Chaplin, both of whom are men
to be placated by the Government rather than
opposed, but there are also other aspirants
whose claims upon the party for official pre-
ferment cannot safely be ignored. The Of
fee is worth e5O00 year, and as Mr.. Chap
lin is known to be pecuniarily embarrassed
he may possibly prefer gilded exile, far away
from his creditors, to the annoyances which
his remaining in London would entail and
accept the position, If it be offered to him.
1t is not believed, however, that any of the
gentlemen mentioned as possible appointees
would refuse it,

To secede from the Knights.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 10.--A rumor is in
circulation here that there is a strong
movement on foot in this city to found new
order OF knights of Labor, which win re-
tain all the commendable features of the old
order and be free from its defects Those
VINO are taking the most active part in the
movement arc dissatisfied Knights, although
it is claimed that many laboring men who do
not belong to any organization have ex-
pressed their willingness to join it, 1t is as
serted that Mr.. Barry and his colleagues will
assist materially in bringing about the or
ganization of the proposed new order. and
an effort will be made at the coming Indian
apolis convention to wind up the affairs of
the Knights and destroy the order. If this
cannot be done in any other way, rival con-
vention will be held, in which preliminary
steps toward the formation of the new BODY
will be taken. 1t is considered likely that
Mr.. Barry would be elected as its head.

WASHINGTON, Oct 10-Today's total bond
offerings were $14,237, 300, of which
$9,917,sOO were four per cents.
ana S4,3ls,5OO were four and
half per cents. All the four and half's
were accepted at 1881, and all tine four's were
rejected. Considerable comment ensued
over this apparent change in policy of the de-
partment and many theories were advanced
to account for it. The most plausible one.
according to treasury officials, is that, other
to apply the surplus to the redemption of a
loan which will mature inside of three wears
rather than to exhaust it in purchasing bonds
which have so much longer to run.

being stood ON end. Ali the cars were
crowded and the fatalities will run into aw-
full figures. All the physicians from White

as are all the Lehigh Valley officials from
his city. The number killed is variously re-

First Reports Confirmed.
WILKEsBARRE, Oct. 10.-The accident on
the Lehigh Valley road at Murd Run, beyond
all question, is the most APPALLING disaster
that ever happened in this portion of the
State. Though no details are learned, there
is no doubt the number of killed will reach
nearly so, and the injured nearly double that
number. Thousands of people went to
Hazelton from Luzerne and Lackawanna
counties. Seven trains, with cars filed to
tine doors, passed through White Haven this
morning, taking the old route by Penn
Haven. On the return. the first train left
Hazelton about p. m, the others following
as rapidly as was deemed safe. The first
three sections came through without ac-
cident, the diaster happening to
the fourth and fifth sections. For
some reason not explained, the fourth
section was standing on the track near the
station of Mud Run, when the fifth section
dashed around the curve and crashed into it.
The cars were smashed and broken and
hurled off the track. The road lies close be-
side the Lehigh river, steep embankment
eight feet high. running down to the water.
Seven cars rolled down this and others

A new and perplexing question has arisen
since City Marshal BENZ. +. Chadbourne was
elected as one of Biddeford's representatives
to the Legislature. 1t is this Can he leg
ally hold the office of representative and City
Marshal at the same time?
There seems to be diversity of opinion ON
the subject, though most of the lawyers in

ment on the Marshaps part would be illegal,
and that before being entitled to his seat no
