er methods for the defeat of temper
ance at the local option fight in At

calculation made as TO the cost of
buying 5000 niger votes to be cast
for the "wet ticket" 1t was thought
they would cost S1.50 each 81 800
for the niger votes and $500 extra
to the man who was to "deliver the

fering to the shrine of the drunkands'

long, Christian citizens of the Unit
ed States, will any of you consent TO
be counted among the advocates of
the saloon by registering your votes
with the allies and stipendiaries of
a system pledged against every
agency of a Christian civilization
How long can the republic endure
the strain? God hasten the day when
the Christian commonwealth and the
Christian church shall combine its
forces for the protection of American
homes against the ravages of the
American saloon, and the deepest
disgrace of our great country shall
be voted out of existence, and no
longer be a factor of our politics.

Senator Frye's admirable argu-
ment in favor of protection is ground
ed on two premises which no free
trader or revenue reformeP dares to
contradict. One is the impossibilitv
of scaling down the tariff without
reducing wages to the level of the
ill-paid European labor; and the
other is the cheapening of every ar
ticle manufactured in the United
States in consequence of the pro-
lection afforded by the tariff. On
each of these grounds his argument
is as solid as a cube. His speech
like senator Sherman's and Mr..
Blaine's review of the message should
be placed in the hands of voters
throughout the Union. One of the
first things the republican leauges
now springing up in every corner of
the land have to do is to circulate
these mastery arguments among all
classes of citizens. Senator Frye's
speech is addressed mainly to wage
earaers. 1t should be placed in their
hands early in the presidential year.

y peculiar state of affairs exists
IN Louisiana, where, for the first
time since 1876, a republican state
ticket has been put in the field with
some hope of being elected. That
is to say. in 1888, the election in
Louisiana is TO be, not a political
farce, but conducted with real Sc
rioasness. Why? The governor,
MeEneFy, was defeated for re-nomi-
nation in the democratic convention
by Gen. Francis Nichols. So bitter
a contest has never been seen, even
in Louisiana. The result is that
Gov. McEnery, who, under the pc
culiar laws of that state, has absolute
control of the election and the APP
pointment of the election officers,
declares that there shall be a fair

election and that in his opinion the
republican candidate will be chosen.
1t is not denied in Louisiana that
the republicans have a majority of
votes and that if a fair election is
held, they will elect their candidate.
The fact that the governor proposes
to have such an election is taken as
evidence in advance that the repub-
licans will carry the state, in which,
for the last II years, they have not
even INDUCED hope of accomplish
ing such a result.

The presidents gift to the Pope

And yet it was sent officially through
Archbishop Gibbons. 1t was pre-

of Grover Cleveland, but of the pres
ident- In return, the Pope blessed
the country and the president. The
gift was placed among the gifts from
kings. When MI. Bayard. therefore,
says that the gift is from a private
citizen, he shows that he is either ig-
norant or untruthful. The gift is
from a president of the United States,
who seeks, by sending it, the Catho-

WASHINGTON, JAN. 25--Speaker
Carlisle will start for Fortress Mon
roe and the south to-day. His alb
sence from the Capital will be linn
tied only by the condition of his
health. He said to-day that he
should not return until he felt per-
fectly able to assume the duties of
his office.
This morning the speaker had a
long conference with Mr.. Reed of
Maine, leader of the republican side,
over the condition of important pend
ing business before the committee
on rules. Mr.. Carlisle is anxious
that his illness shall not interfere
with the prompt disposition of bus
mess, and suggested that his place
on that committee be temporarily
filled. 1t is probable that Sunset
Cox will be selected for this place.

Burning of the L. c. and st. j. r. r.
Shops.

The most destructive fire that has
occurred in ST. Johnsbury for many
years happened early Monday morn
ing when the Lake railroad shops
were destroyed. The flames broke
out in the engine room shortly after
midnight. The Waterman was at the
other end of the buildings and the
cause of the fire is unknown, though
it may be attributed to an overheated
or overturned stove or to spontane-
room was perfect finder box, every
thing being completely saturated with
oil and quantities of oily waste being
scattered all about, and the flames
spread rapidly. The alarm was speed
ily sounded and the firemen respond
ed to the call with their usual alacri-
ty. There was an unfortunate delay,
owing to the fact that the hydrant at
the shops was frozen; but when wa
ter was at length obtained the fire
laddies worked with will and rem
dered efficient service in preserving
the adjoining buildings from destruc-
ton. 1t was as hard a night for
them as could happen, almost, the
cold being intense (the mercury
standing in the neighborhood of 20
degrees below zero), and they are en-
titled to a great deal of credit for
their gallant and successful work.
The buildings destroyed were four
in number, built at different times
and connected with each other in
rambling fashion. These were the
engine room, the wood shop, machine
shop and blacksmith shop. In the
engine room were nine locomotives.
OF these FIVE were pulled out in sea-
son to escape damage, but four could
sex, the Lamoiile. the Greenfield
(Which belongs to the southern di-
vision) and the Morrisyille, which
went through a fire at Fabyans only
a few months since and had just come
out of the shops. The wood shop
contained a planer and other wood
working machinery and about thous-
and dollars worth of lumber, In the
machine shop were two lathes and an
engine. The blacksmith shop had
three FORCES and a steam blower. All
this machinery was total loss. One
fat car in the engine room was also
destroyed.
The four locomotives have an esti-
mated value of si8, 900. They will
not of course be total loss, and the
damage cannot be ascertained until
they are oyerbanled. The loss on

One subject that Congress can have
no good pretext for refusing to act
upon is the question of restricting
immigration. Senator Palmer made
an important speech last week on his
bill the most comprehensive of the
measures relating to this matter that
have been introduced. Mr.. Palmer
plan is to have immigrants obtain
from United States consuls certificates
of good character, etc., and also to
paw a head tax the amount of which
is yet to be fixed. He does not CLAIM
to have solved the problem. Some
of the features of his measure, how
ever, would obviously work to this
country's advantage.
