President Cleveland's Apology.

President Cleveland began in Decem Der with
an attack; he opens in September with an
apology. HIS letter of acceptance is long
excuse for his December message. The coun-
try has waited three months to learn ifhe had
the courage of his convictions as a Free-trad-
er; it finds that he is only conscious of his
perils as a candidate. Ten months ago he
was anxious to show how near to Free Trade
he could go; he is anxious to show how much
of a Protectionist he is. Where he once de-
nounced Tariff laws, the viscious, illogical
and inequitable source of unnecessary taxa
tion," he is fain now to declare that he has
no intention ''to diseredit the system"
Where last December he felt justified in
charging against the vast body of citizens
engaged in manufactures ssthat they can
hardly complain of a suspicion, entertained
to "a certain extent, that there exists an or
gained eomBStrssstion all along the line to
maintain their advantage" he now predi-

The Maine Election.

The people at large on this side the Ale
ghenies have not had a correct estimation of
the heat and energy of the campaign in
Maine that has just closed, with a trium-
plant republican victory. There has been
too much confidence that q victory in Maine
is almost a matter of course. This has been
in forgetfulness that there has been a large
swarm of cranks in Maine, for many years.
and that the State was actually lost in the
September election of 1880, though Garfield
was elected two months later.
There has been a flood of Dem ocratic m oney
doubt, that the $4,000 ofthe President. and
the $40, 900 of Cal Brice, and the $4,000 of
Whitney, and other trust funds. were trans,
mitted and disbursed.
The Vermont elect on was such shock to,
the Democrats that they felt throughout the
country that if theycould not turn the tide
in Maine, they were already defeated.
According to Mr.. Blaine's estimate, no
doubt made with great care, in his dispatch
to Harrison, the gain on the Republican plu-
rality of lSS6-and the Gubernatorial voteof
one year is properly compared with that of
another-is between seven and eight thous-
and, and the gain over the vote in September
OF the Garfield year is twenty thousand. The
whole showing is that the Republican party
is, this year, in extraordinarily good form
and marching straight to. victory. From
Maine to Oregon, by way of Vermont, the
story is the same The Cleveland Admins
tration scores another bite r disappointment

An Honest Confession

The Philadelphia Times, one of the most
earnest of the Cleveland press, in q n editorial
recently made statement the candor and
honesty OF which will somewhat stagger the
average democratic editor. The Times says:
: 1t is reported from day to day in the cam
paign that General Harrison publicly de-
clared, during the turbulent railway strikes
of 1877, that lone dollar q day was enough
for Workingmen." AS General Harrison is
never drunk and has never been idiotic, of
course he never said SO. He has never been
regarded as specially sympathetic with in
dustrial people, but those who accuse him of
making such declaration must do it in ig-
norance OF with deliberate intent to falsity
1t is reported from day to day that Gener-
al Harrison voted and spoke in favor of free
admission Of Chinese labor to this country
to destroy our home labor 1t is not true,
and every man of ordinary intelligence knows
it to be false He voted against q Chinese
bill because it was in conflict with our treaty
obligation, and President Arthur vetoed the
bill on the same grounds. Whatever may
be his views on Chinese labor, he did not
speak or vote for it's free admission when in
the senate.

Spare the Aged.

1t was proved in Madison Square Gar
den that the venerable Allen G. Thurman is
no fit subject to be hauled about the country
like dime museum curiosity to make votes
for man who has not half the claims upon
his party or upon the respect of the country
that he has. This fact needed no corrobora-
ton to those who witnessed Judge Thurman's
appearance in this city. 1t was one of the
most pitiful spectacles ever witnessed in pub
lie life-this old man who had been neglected
and snubbed during the period of his power
Gfor usefulness, hauled and jostled by the
/ rough crowd in his dotage, while his anxious
%son stood by, with watch in hand, counting
the trying moments of his painful efforts to
make a good appearance to the world. The
Democrats OF the country will agree that if
the man in the White House wants help he
should help himselfand not allow a feeble old
man to be dragooned into the service. AS
for the Old Roman, pitying world will cry
out that the place for him is at home in
quiet with his good wife. The days of his
activity and of his intellectual capacity are

The Baby's Savings.

A,little girl presented herself at the
counter of the Dime Savings bank,
says the Free Press, and handed a
handbook to Mr.. Woolfenden, the ge-
NAL cashier.
She was little thing, and hardly
reached to the window in stature.
Her small face wore a g.rieved look,
and tears stood in her wistful blue
eyes.

Mi ssOuri's Curse,

Mr.. Blaine is reported to have said that
if he thought there was any show of carry
ing Missouri for Harrison and Morton he
would come here and make some speeches,
but as he did not think it likely, he would
give his time to states where his services
would count for something
Perhaps Mr.. Blaine is right in thinking
that Missouri is helpless in the grasp of the
Bourbons 1t is unquestionably the fact
that this impression prevails very generally
and it is an exceedingly unfortunate thing
for the state that it does. 1t has immeasure-
ably retarded it's development, and until the
people Of the state appreciate the situation
and rise in their might and free themselves
from it's ruinous influences, the state can
never hope to occupy the position which it's
great natural resources entitle itto.-Kansas

: TOM FITCH'S PASS.
It Saved Another Han. but He YVES Robbed Him.
self,

They were roasting ehestnuts, a
lot of old timers, one night
says a writer in the San Francisco
Chronicle, and many of the classic
stories of California were repeated.
One was quoted that Tom Fitch used
to tell about himself, but it reflected
great glory upon him, and one mean
old curmudgeon said it was not the
true version of the story at all. Tom
Fitch told it his way, he said, but
that wasn't it. At that time Tom
was in the interior, and this young
fellow, rather green, came through
on a trip. Tom got hold of him and
filed him full of all sorts Of stories
that made the young fellows hair
stand on end. At last they got
to stage robber stories, and he had
some blood-curdling ones; but Tom
made the young fellow believe that
he was all-poWerful, even with the
stage robbers. He was giving the
stranger some letters ofintroduction
to friends in other places, when the
stranger, after some hesitation, said:
"Say, can't you give me a pass?'
"a Pass!''
Il mean a pass through the coun-
try; something that | can show the
higl Waymen when they stop the
stage and get safe through"
why certainly
And Tom wrote out an order:
''Pass the bearer without molesta-
tion. (Signed Tom Fitch" 1t hap
pened that Tom had to go on the
same stage as the young fellow, and
it was ''stood up" in due course, as
Tom had represented it was likely to
be. "Throw up your hands!' Up
went everybody's hands, Toms in
Guided. When the robbers reached
the young stranger he spoke up:
"Who is the captain Of the band"'
"Get out, young fellow! You keep
your hands up"
II want to see the captain of this
band"
''You shut up. I'm captain enough
for you
Il have a paper for the captain OF
this band"
"Let him take his hands down,
Bill, said one of the robbers.
"No you don't. Where is this pa
per?'
ut is in my waistcoat pocket"
The robber put his hand into the
waistcoat and found the paper
"Pass the bearer without molesta-
ton, Tom Fitch"
"All right, young Teller, you can
pass"
Then they came to Tom.
'Hold on, said Tom, as they be-
gan to search; 'hold on"
whats the matter WITH you?"
"You can t rob me. -
"We can t Why?''
'sI'm Tom Fitch
'Get out; that's too thin. Stand.
steady. That'll do"
And they took all he'd got and
went on.
Il wish I'd written a pass for my
sell" said Tom. But it was too late;
they'd cleaned him out.

the miraculous recovery of Miss Emma Ben
nett, a young lady who resides with her broth
er, William Bennett, farmer near that
city. For nine years past Miss Bennett, who
is now 30 years old, has been a bedridden
invalid. During her nine years of confine-
ment she has not uttered a loud word. Ere
quently she was thought to be dead. One
day a full round voice was heard in her room
singing: He rose, he rose, he rose from the
dead. The sick girl was found sitting in the
bed singing the words quoted. She asked to
be helped to her feet, saying she felt that she
could walk, and she did walk across the floor.
She said she felt as though she had risen
from the dead.

MR.. DEPEw ON CORNERS.
More to be Dreaded than the Berated
Trusts and MonopoIies.

CHICAGO, Oct 1S.-In an interview yester-
day Chauncey NJ. Depew expressed the
opinion that the various corners in bread
stuffs that have been run in Chicago have
done more injury to the American farmers
than any of the much berated trusts and
monopolies. "Corners have robbed this
country of her control of the markets of the
world In 1881 the famous Keene corner
forced prices so high that the British manu.
facturer became thoroughly frightened. He
saw that it was possible for a few daring
spectators in this country to put the price
of food so high that laborers would be forced
to demand higher wages. and the margin of
profit on manufactured articles would be
wiped out. England at once set to work to
meet the emergency Twenty thousand
miles OF railroad were built in India, and
every mile opened up 900 acres of wheat
land. Transportation facilities in Russia,
Egypt and other parts of the world were
greatly improved, the result being that
America can no longer dictate the price of
bread in the markets of the world. The loss
to the farmer of this country attributable to
this corner can hardly be computed. Your
corner OF the other day is having, and will
continue to have, a disastrous effect. 1t has
put the price of wheat in this country higher
than it is in Liverpool, and all export busi-
ness has been stopped. The ultimate effect
of corners is bad upon the producer. The
railroads lose by the operation, general bust
ness is checked, and the price of the daily
loaf Of millions Of people is raised by four or
five fellows in Chicago"
After reading Mr.. Depew's remarks on
corners, "Old Hutch" said: sWhat differ
ence does it make if a loaf of bread does cost
one cent more? A man don't eat more than
one loaf day, and flour is a very small part
of the average mans daily diet Mr.. Depew
is smart man, but he doesn't understand
the question. One man can no more put up
the price of bread than tadpole can hatch a
thousand eagles. / suppose he wants the
farmers to get 80 cents bushel for grain and
be charge 30 cents bushel to carry it to the
seaboard. don't want to say anything
about Mr.. Depew, but when farmer is
prosperous he buys lots of goods he sends
his folks visiting, and they ride on the rail-
roads. They spend money and make wages
higher. The farmers make this country
what it is. Chauncey Depew may know
something about raising a pet bull, but he
doesn't know much about agriculture. Let
him raise corn at IL cents a bushel and
wheat at 40 cents. and go through a Dakota
blizzard After he's had that experience he
will know more"
