THE SITUATION IN PHILADELPHIA.

Philadelphia also suffered severely. but
not as much so as New York, but the
icrcuean efforts OF railway officials
were fruitless in getting the various lines
into successful operation. The wind had
blown savagely and thousands Of labor.

the drifts were removed. The loss to the

not be estimated. and the time which will

made but little effort to operate their

says ohitOrially: 1t will be remembered by
those who had to do with Indian matters
after the late rebellion that the Indians
attributed their failure to the fact that
they had deferred action until too late in

AN HISTORIC EVENT.
Ofncinnatrs Jubilee OF Ore
hundred Days.

The celebration Of the one hun
drelh anniversary of the settle
ment of the Northwest Territory.
which is now in progress in Gin
cinnati, and which is to continue
for one hundred days and nights,
is one of the most important
events of the present century. A
dozen States are officially repre-
sented, the Government has fur
nished a magnificent collection
of curios from Washington, ID.
O., and all the arrangements Of
the Exposition are on broad
and liberal plan. The Art Gal
lery, for instance, is the finest
ever seen IN this country; the
intrinsic valne of The pujn,ings
in the collection is estimated nj
one million dollars. The electric
.light display will lie the NEST
brilliant ever witnessed IN the
United States. The new build
ings with the permanent Music
Hall and numerous anneXes rep
resent an area of foriy-iive acres
under one CONTINUOUS roof, and
the space for exhibiting purposes
aggregate nearly a million square
feet. Reduced. rates are given
on all the railroads, which will
insure a monster attendance.

The November Election.
Some Important Questions
Submitted TO the AifOr-
ncY General.

The approaching election will be
tho first ut which president has
been voted for since the change
from October to November was
made in Ohio. This has given rise
to a question as to tickets and bal
lot boxes. Attorney General Wilson
is III receipt of several letters from
prosecuting attorneys asking for Of
0cial;opinion On the points Involv-
ed. One suggests that 1t will be
necessary TO have three separate
tickets and Us many ballot boxes
one for each county, state and ma
tional candidates. Another sug
ges,s that If all are put on one tick
ct, and so voted, it i'll be nece's :
ry to have q different form for re-
cording the votes. However, this
may be, it is not matter for the
Attorney General to decide, but
more properly belongs to the exec
utive committee of the different par
ties, who will probably hold a con-
ference and settle the question. 1t
is evident that there will not be sep
crate tickets and ballot boxes for
tho county, stale ard national tick
cts, but it might be necessary to
make some addition to the tally sheet
to correctly record the vote.
Inasmuch as a number of the
states have always voted for state and
county:oficers on the date OF elect
ing n president, it is suggested that
some valuable information might be
obtained in that way, If some Of the
prosecuting attorneys or other inter-
ested parties would take the trouble
to write to the proper officers of fthose
states.

ket and lessened consumption the
wage worker must sell that which
the capitalist does not need to buy.
In the one case the wage worker
can command his.own price; in the

These are plain truths and SIM
plc. They lie at the whole basis OF
the tariff discussion. They appeal
to the common sense of every man
who gives them impartial consider

IL must be admitted that Hal

1t must be admitted that Har-
rison has been very consistent in
his attitude on the Chinese ques-
ton. In The Senate in 1882 he
fought persistently to retain the
privilege of citizenship for al?
Mongo!ians who could not be
proved to have come to this
country under contract. In his
Brandt letter in 1888 he confines
his remarks to contract lmmigra-
ton in gangs" He has nothing
to say about Chinese citizenship,
aud obviously agrees with For
aker about the duty of Republl-
cans 'to protect Chinese interests.
