The Republicans had their much
talked of torchlight procession last
night, and, by actual count, we made
the number Of torches in the process
sion to be 3SS. Two bands were en-
ployed. The demonstration, we sup
pose, was got up for the pleasure of
the Democrats, as they were the spec
tators and the Republicans we're in
the ranks. If such is the case, we
take this opportunity Of retuI ming
thanks to Mr.. Maltz and his brigade
of illuminators for furnishing the
Democrats with amusement to pass
away a few moments of the evening.
The show was free and it did not cost
the Democrats either money or labor.
Under these circumstances we do not
feel like criticising the work. We
will however venture the request that
that they give US another entertain
ment, and that they keep in better
marching order. We do not like to
see men marching out of line, with
torches at various angles. We would
also ask that they furnish a liberal
supply of Roman candles. In return
we believe the Democrats will treat
the Republicans to a pyrotechnical
display next November when Cleve-
land is elected and Michigan Demo.

Fred Rousseau, who lives on Miner
street, was awakened about 4 o'clock
Saturday morning, by plaster and
burning lath falling from the ceiling
on to the bed he was in. He got up
and discovered his house on fire. Hur-
riedly putting on few clothes he
grabbed some of his children and car
ried them out of doors, and came
back for others. BY the time he had
got his family safe out of the building,
it was SO wrapped in flames that he
was unable to save his furniture and
hardly any of the family clothes. The
fire department was called and made
prompt time after they were notified.
Mr.. Rosseau's loss is about 1900.
The insurance, in company of which
Williams & Morse are agents, amount
to 5000. The cause of the fire is be-
lieved to be as follows: Mrs. Rosseau
had to get up about two o'clock to
heat some water for sick child, and
the fire must have worked through
the chimney and set fire to that part
of the building between the roof and
ceiling, and burned there unnoticed
until it had worked through the CELL
ing and aroused the family.

The Republican rally at the Opera
House Monday night was addressed
by J. F. Scanlon, of Chicago, speak
er that they had advertised ex-
tensively. When Mr.. Scanlon COM
menced speaking there was full
house, but when he got through, about
one-half the seats in the gallery were
empty. Mr.. Scanlon's whole argu-
ment was to the effect that free trade
would destroy this country and ruin
the people; that high tariff tax had
made this country prosperous, put
down the war, increased wages, clear
ed up farms and developed mines. A
few years ago the same arguments
were used by the Repdblican orators,
with this difference that it was the
Republican party that did all these
wonders. AS the Democrats have
controlled the government for nearly
four years past, and the country con-
tinues prosperous, it is necessary that
the old idea should be disguised, and
thus the Republican speakers and pa
pers now state that it was protection
that did the wonders heretofore cred
tied to the Republican party. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Scanlon majority of
the people of this country are trying
to ruin themselves and wreck their
country, and that an excessive and
burdensome tariff tax is necessary to
make the people of this land prosper
Gus. The argument is weak one.
AS regards the protective tax making
high wages, that claim has been thor
oughly proved a delusion, and is mere
ly a snare to catch ignorant voters.
Wages depend on the supply and de-
mand. Protected manufacturers do
not pay any higher wages because
they are protected. They get their
labor as cheap as they can. A high
protective tariff means protection to
monopolies and millionaires, and rob-
berry of the laboring men. AS re-
CARDS free trade, which Mr.. Scanlon
said the Democrats advocated, the av.
erage tariff tax on all imported goods
under the present protective tax, on
the goods imported for the year 1887,
was 47.10 per cent. If the proposed
Democratic tariff tax reduction law
had been in force during the same
year, the average tax would have
been 1918 per cent. This is reduc-
ton of only 1872 per cent, and is GER
tainly not heavy reduction. The
speaker did not create much enthusi-
asm.

Police Va. Firemen.

Friday afternoon an interesting
game Of base ball was played by the
members of the police and ire depart
ments. When the policemen had fin
ished their half of the last innings
their score was 10, and the fremen
had to make six runs to prevent the
police from being victoria us. Two of
the firemen's nine we're put out and
no runs, aud it looked as if the police
were going to win with score of 10
to 5. In base ball, however, there
are some surprising changes. One of
the firemen sent an easy catch to the
police third baseman. If that ball
had been caught the police would
have been victorious. The ball, how
ever, to the delight of the fire boys,
rolled out Of the third baseman's
hands, and then, as luck had come to
their assistance, they pounded out six
runs and snatched victory from the
jaws of defeat. The score is as follows |:

We take pleasure in announcing to
the citizens of this vicinity that we
have secured the agency for the Der.
tier Parabola Spectacles. So well
known are these beautiful spectacles
that to most people it is unnecessary
to say more than that we have them
for sale F; but as this may fall into the
hands of some unacquainted with their
merits, we would add that on account
of the form of the lenses the wearer
can see through all portions of the
glass with equal distinctness.
They are Very Hard and therefore
retain their beautiful polish with
many years use,
Their pellucld olearness renders
their use both pleasant and agreeable
to the most sensitive eyes.
Beware of peddlers claiming to sell
them. The genuine have Bertisr
