Where Shall We COP

Many persons frequently ask the above
ouestion. Do YOU want Mountain Scenery,
Lake Vistas and Sea Shore Resorts; do you
want to travel through historic part OF our
country; do you wish to see the manufactur-
ing towns of New York and New England,
the noble Hudson, the Adirondacks, the
White Mountains, Mt. Desert, Bar Harbor
and the Jagged coast of Maine; the wild seen
ery of Canada, the beautiful St. Lawrence and
the Saguenay Rivers? If SO go by the Penn
sylvania Railroad, and the Boston and Maine
Railroad through one of the most picturesque
and charming parts of the United States.
All along the route the scene is ever chang
ing-field and factory, mountain and seaside,
beautiful valleys and lakes, forests aud plains
All can be seen in a three weeks Jaunt, at a
moderate cost, in easy short journeys, with
stop.over privileges, and without becoming
faded. The train service is first class, the
steamer officials gentlemanly and the baggage
handled carefully. The writer has been over
most of the routes given in the excursion
hooks of both railroads and knows the enjoy
ment to be obtained from a short tour. Sc
lect such an one as you think would be most
agreeable and best suited to your financial
condition, leave home and business behind
and take a short respite from your labors
Many people rush to Europe, and spend
thousands of dollars there, yet they know
nothing of their own country and have rarely
ever been outside of their own State.

Alleged Suppression of the Colored
Vote.

Just now the Democratic papers of the
South are using very severe language toward
Senator W. E. Chandler, because of the
charge made by that gentleman in the Forum
concerning the suppression of the colored vote
in several Southern States. The Republican
platform adopted at Chicago charges that
.ithe present administration and the Demo.
cratic majority in Congress owe their existence
TO the suppression of the ballot by criminal
nullificatioR of the constitution and laws of
the United States.''
These allegations are sternly denied by
Southern men as worthy Of belief as the men
who make them. A private letter to the ed
itorx of the ADVOCATE, but not intended for
publication, from an intelligent and observant
gentleman in Tennessee, says:
Here, in Rutherford county, We are all
Democrats-all white people, | mean. The
negroes are all Republicans. Probably there
are FIVE or six negro Democrats in the county.
At general elections it always happens that
the negroes vote the solid Republican ticket.
In state and local elections many of the me-
groes do not vote at all, because they have no
party candidate. The colored voter is as free
as the white voter. Have never heard of an
instance Of .bull DOING or coercion Of any
sort since the carpet bag rule was gotten rid
of In the Kn Klux days there was some
trouble, but even then no man, white or black,
was ever interfered with at the polls here.
No man has ever dared anything of the kind
at my precinct. No personal difficulty of any
serious character has occurred at or near my
voting precinct for % years.

When Congress Will Adjourn.

When Congress will adjourn is matter of
uncertainty. Opinions as to the time of ad-
journment are frequently expressed by Ser
ators and Representatives, but any prediction
is mere guess work No one can tell when
an adjournment will take place. When the
tariff bill was laid aside on Saturday last but
nine of the sixty seven pages had been con
sidered. In those nine, however, was en-
braced nearly all of the free list, the part of
the bill that would be most discussed. Much
of the remaining part is but re- enactment of
the present lag, and will be readily agreedto.
Other parts, especially that relating to wool,
will provoke considerable discussion. 1t may
be remarked that Mr.. Mills chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee, believes vote
ON the bill will be reached by the LIST of Au-
gust.
If Congress should sit until the middle of
August, or even into September. it would not
be such an unusual session. Up to 1882, in
times of peace, the long sessions usually ter
minated in April or May. In that year ad-
journment was effected on July 16. In 1912
adjournment occurred on August 81, on Au-
gust 10 in 1876, on August IA in 1s4S, on
September 80 in 1850, on August 81 in 1852,
on August in 1854 and on August 80 in
1856.
Coming down to more recent period the
records show that Congress sat from Deem
Der 8, 1875, to August Is, 1876. In 1882
Congress adjourned on August s, on July
in 1884 and on August 5, in 1886.

TUT NUHstNssf
HERMAN STUMP,
OF HARTFORD COUNTY.
The Stampede from Harrison.

Cleveland and Thurman are supported by
n united Democratic party, and in addition
will receive thousands of votes of 1ndepen-
dents and Republicans on account OF their
clean records, able craftsmanship and because
they stand for n tariff that is in the interests
of the people as against the unconstitutional
stand of the Republican party for high tdres
and larish expenditures to maintain and foster
monopolies and grasping corporations.
No detection from the Democratic ranksis
reported from any section, nor is there likely
to be. From Harrison and Morton there is
something like stampede. 4.
In New York city, in addition to the Demo
cratic press, Cleveland and Thurman are sup
ported by the Times, and Commercial ADDER
tiser, Republican; by the Herald and EUenfng
Post, Independent; and by the Stats Zett'ng,
the most influential German paper in the
country. But two papers of any prominence,
the Tribune and Mail aud Express, support
Harrison and Morton.
The Springfield Republican is also for the
Democratic nominees, and the PTo1idence
Journal, Senator Anthony's old paper, de-
clines to aid the Republican ticket.
Mayor Lowe, of Brooklyn, the most popu-
lar and dashing leader of the Republican
party in the city of churches, has resigned
from his Republican club, and will vote for
Cleveland and Thurman because he does not
favor tariff for Protection.
Right at Mr.. Harrison's own door, nearly,
in Indiana, great disaffection exists, and at
this time it is said that not more than sixty
per cent. of the Republicans are supporting
him. At Evansville, in the congressional
district in which he lives, the Post, German
paper, and the Daily Bulletin, the Republican
county organ, have declined to endorse the
Chicago nominations.
This is but the beginning. The detection
from Harrison will be far greater than that
from Blaine, and unlike Blaine, Harrison will
be unable to draw from the Democratic ranks.
Republican defeat is as certain as November
will come.

Two Articles.

We call special attention to two articles in
o.day's ADVOCATE, one headed ga Few Mem
oranda," from Puck, and the other under the
caption of Republican Detection" from the
Evansville, Indiana, Evening Tribune.
These articles are worthy of special atten-
ton That from Puck, the leading cartoon
journal of the country, and staunch Repub-
lican paper until the campaign of 1884, shows
the broken pledges of the Republican party,
and what has been accomplished in the three
years of President Cleveland's Administra-
ton.
That from the Tribune speaks of the defec-
ton in the Republican ranks in Indiana over
the nomination of the grandson of his grand
father, the champion of Chinese cheap labor,
the man who advised the driving of striking
workmen back to their places at the point OF
the bayonet, and who stands on a platform
declaring both for true goodness and free
Whisky.
1t may be remarked that the Tribune is an
independent paper, but is now battling for
Cleveland and Thurman and against monopoly
and high taxes.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1888-07-07

Mr.. Blaine will return from Europe about
the middle of this month. The Republican
clubs of New York and Philadelphia have
arranged to meet him with feet of steamers.
About the first of August he will take the
stump for Harrison and Morton, so it is an
nounced. This is but part of the faulty
which seems to follow the Republican party
this year. Sound policy would keep him in
the background instead of at the front, for he
is an element of weakness instead of strength
to his party, under the present condition of
things. His active participation in the can
vass will be water upon Mr.. Cleyeland's wheel

Judge Turpie on Gen. Harrison.

In the U. S. Senate on Monday last, Judge
Turpie, of Indiana, addressed the Senate on
the Presidents tariff message. In the course
of his speech Mr.. Turpie said that there was
an eternal jeremiad concerning the pauper
labor of Europe, and yet the American farm
ers and planters had been for many years
| competing with the paaper labor of Europe,
Ashland Africa. The existing policy Of So
called protection had forced that competition.
What, he asked, had cheapened and pauper-
lied labor in India, Egypt, China or else.
restriction and repression, the entire inhib-
ton Of foreign traffic, a constant seclusion and
| isolation Of manufactures, an exclusively in
ternal consumption both of work and wares
| that produced dryrot and marasmus. And
yet it was seriously proposed that the young
! American nation should receive its lessons in
political economy and in the practical rules
of its revenue administration from the archaic
and Wondering systems of the mikado and
the mandarin. Protection was good ser.
want, but bad master. Overprotection led
| TO overproduction, and to consequent stagna-
ton and decay. 1t could not be shown that
any person or corporation who was engaged
in good faith in the business of manufacturing
would be injured by the reasonable reduction
of duties proposed in the Mills bill, or that
any employe would be harmed. The eman-
| cipation of labor from the operation of unjust
laws, the liberation Of agriculture, commerce
and manufactures from inequitable and i'm
poverishing restrictions, the restoration of the
people to their ancient commercial rights and
franchises-it was this that was proposed by
the message of the President.
The contamination of this would not be re-
tarded or prevented by the action of the Chi
cago convention. The platform and the
nominee of that convention were alike ex-
ponents of the views and interests of those
privileged castles which had so long, under
the loud and false clamor of protecting others,
cared only for themselves; who had learned
nothing of popular interests except to betray
them. The candidate of the Chicago conven-
| ton was well-beloved and chosen represen-
tatiye of the rank and lawless growth of
Incorporated power, He (the candidate)
would faithfully hefriend, protect and encopr-
age American industries by the highest, most
prohIbitory and unnecessary restrictions, and
by the permitted immigration of the China
man, Although he was man OF no moon,
siderable capacity, of great mental force and
acumeu, he had that which was not often
found with such qualities harsh Intolerance,
which treated dissent as idioey. Deeply
touched and tinged with the prejudices OF an
exclusive class aristoeracy, he belonged to
that group of reactiopary statesmen, tradition
al paternalists, whom the people had so often
rejected, and would reject again.
