Blaine Speaking Still.

WATERvILLE (Me), August 27th.-Three
thousand people listened to Mr. Blaine to-
day here on the tariff issue. He repeated
with emphasis that the question of protec-
ton comes to every wage earner's door.
He said that idea had at last got into the
heads of the Democratic politicians, and
now they and the President are trying to
stifle the furore about free trade by inter
iecting something that will awaken fears
that we are to have scrimmage with
Canada. President Cleveland, after failing
to settle the fishery question IN q national
way, now wants a law passed 10 allow him
to stop all transit trade with Canada. Iu
effect the President declares he does not
want.to settle the questi n ri ,ht down at
Portland, or at Halifax, but wants to settle
it out in Manitoba.
The President wants 10 put courage into
his administration, and the protective
tariff out of the minds of the people. Mr..
Blaine did not believe that Congress will
crafty the President. Now, that the
fishing season is over, and no outrages have
been committed the American people will
direct that whole question go over to
next year. By that time there will be a
,, Republican President in the White House,
and Republican Congress in the Capitol,
and then we will settle the question as it
ought to be settled; settled as the Repubi-
can party has always dealt with
Great Britain, in holding high the
dignity of the United States, and in
forming Great Britain, as General Grant did
in the case of the Alabama claims, that the
fishery dispute must be settled on terms of
full equity and justice to American fisher
men, and in accordance with honor to both
countries. Ah, my friends, the Presidents
machine is contr1ved to run about seventy
days, but twill surely run without harm to
men who are in front of it; and may not
add, it is admirably ARRANGED to kick and
kill the men who are behind it. Mr..
Blaine was frequently interrupted by
| laughter and loud applause.

WASHINGTON, August 27th.-The greater
part of the time of the Senate to-day was
occupied in a discussion of the political
methods at the South, arising out of the
Mississippi election investigation. Senator
Wilson, of Iowa, again addressed himself
to the subject of the denial OF equal politi-
cal rights to the negroes. He showed the
deplorable treatment to which colored
voters were subjected in Mississippi at the
hands of v. hite Democrats, and how, for
fear of their lives, the colored voters of
Jackson held convention and withdrew
their candidates before the municipal elec-
ton in 1887, and concluded to remain away
from the polls. 1t was the Senator's opin-
ion that the members of the Congressional
Investigating Committee who submitted
the minority report on this subject were
influenced by those who controlled the
election. A great deal of testimony was
read which showed that there was a con-
certed plan among those who managed the
elections to draw an exclusive white
line and that this was an insurmountable
barrier to all colored citizens, no matter
what vote they desired to cast.
Senator Walthall defended the Jacksoni-
ans, and said that the regime of Mayor
McGill, the predecessor of the present
Mayor, which was regarded by Senator Will
son as such model one. was marked by
lawlessness and murder. He said that
from the repeated acts of crime which
were allowed to go on by McGilfs negro
police caused the white people to combine,
irrespective of party views, 10 overthrow
the Mayor under whose goyernorship the
lives and property of the whites were at
stake Many prominent Republicans were
allied with this movement.

Iccpyigi. 1883, by the California Associated Press
BosToS, August 27th.-The Congressional
immigration Investigation Committee be-
gan work here this morning. Only three
members were present. The first witness,
State Superintendent of the Poor Wright
1ngton, testified that during last year 81 ,062
Immigrants landed at ports of this State.
OF this number 1O7 persons ought not to have
been landed, and were classified thus: Three
lunatics, / convict, 81 paupers and 46 con-
tracted for. Of these + of the paupers were
landed and 55 of the others returned.
Mr. Wrightington became aware some
time ago that the British Government and
Luke Society were assisting emigrants to
this country and 800 were so assisted.
The society was founded by Luke of New
Through them about one million dollars was
appropriated by the British Government for
that purpose. The Mansion House fund
was raised for the purpose of assisting Rus
sian Jews of Crimea to emigrate to America
In 1882 large number arrived in this CITY,
They were the poorest set that ever came
here, and they filled the almshouses. They
would not eat the same bread or other food,
and had to be sent back.
Special Treasury Agent Montgomery tes-
titled that 70 per cent. of the fishermen on
New England vessels were aliens. The
native fishermen have been exterminated.
At Gloucester, the second important fishery
port, the industry is conducted almost
entirely by aliens.

Il
tributor to Campaign Funds.
WASHINGTON, August 27th.-Colonel La
mont, Cleveland's Private Secretary, in a
conversation to-day about the Presidents
reported contribution of $4,000 to the
Democratic campaign, said: don't see
anything very startling about that story. 1t
is well known that the President has al
ways openly and above-board been in the
habit of making such contributions as his
means justified toward defiaying the neces-
sary and legitimate expenses OF his party
campaign, whether he has been a candidate
for office or not, and this year is not likely
to be an exception. The expense for docu-
ments, meetings, ETC., in national cam
paign covering the whole country run up
into the hundreds of thousand of dollars.
Somebody must pay it, and none could be
expected to more cheerfully than those
who are supposed to have personal inter
est in their party's success. The President
will as he has heretofore done, assist the
Democratic party in this manner as far as
he thinks fair and proper-jUst, l suppose,
as General Harrison and General Fiske will
aid the Republican and Prohibition parties.
l don't know what sum he will give, and |
don't understand that it is any OF my busi-
ness, but l am quite sure that the sum you
mentioned $50, ,000is not unusually large"

WASHINGTON, August 27th.-In the Sen
ate the resolution heretofore offered by
Stewart calling for copies of reports, affi-
davits and communications on which the
Commissioner of the General Land Office
based his letter TO Burns on the subject of
timber depredations, was taken up.
Beck and Edmunds wanted TO amend to
exclude papers, the publication of which
might defeat the ends of justice.
Pending the discussion, q new confer
ence committee on the army appropriation
bill was appointed, and Allison presented
the conference report on the sundry civil
bill.
The Senate bill authorizing the citizens
of Colorado, Nevada and the Territories to
fell and remove timber from the public do
main for mining and domestic purposes,
was reported from the committee.
Stewart proceeded with remarks in sup
port of his resolution. Senators some
times wondered, he said, how Blaine be-
came so popular in the Western country.
1t was owing to two speeches which he
made in the Senate, one in which he
recognized the fact that the people on the
Pacific coast could not live in company
with the Chinese, the other in favor of the
people of Montana when deprived of wood
by the new construction of the law given
by Sehurz when Secretary of the Interior.
Blaine then defended them in speech
from which Stewart read extracts.
After long discussion, in which Teller
referred to the bill reported by him this
morning on the subject, and which ne said
proposed to allow the miners to cut wood
under the license, the amendment was
agreed to and the resolution adopted.
The Senate then proceed to the consider
alton of the report of the Judiciary Com
mittee on the Jackson, Miss, election, and
Wilson of Iowa continued his remarks be-
gan on Tuesday last.
When Wilson concluded his remarks
Wetherall made reply, and at the close of
