A Confession In Advance.

Ex-Gov. Curtin of Pennsylvania
is a candid man, if he is democrat.
In recent interview he gave his
views very frankly on the political
situation. In the course of his talk
he said:
cit will be the same old ticket, l
think, Blaine and Cleveland. 1 ex-
pect this coming presidential election
to be one of the fercest struggles
on record. The battlefield will be
chiefly in New York. It is all gam
mon to suppose it will be anywhere
else. In Connecticut there will be
a fight, because the state is doubtful,
but in New York the contest that
decides the victory will be waged.
1t is useless to listen to politicians
who say that the democrats can
carry few states in the Northwest.
We have tried it and failed and will
fail again. No, oRr fight is here,
and we will not go into the race
handicapped this time, because we
have the Federal patronage to assist
us. The solid South is ours beyond
a peradventure, and we know where
to throw our strength.
The concluding lines are q remark
able confession in advance of the
sole grounds on which the democrat
ic leaders have any expectation of
winning. Those grounds as frankly
confessed by Mr.. Curtin are
(D The Federal patronage;
(2) A solid South
(3) Money enough to carry New
York.
The above is exactly what Gov.
Curtin means and says. The de-
pendence of democratic success is
on the states that carried on four
years bloody war to rend the Union
and destroy the republic. Their So
lidity is dependent on the suppress
sion of the colored vote in twenty
seven congressional districts of the
South where the natural colored ma
jority ranges from 1900 to 10000.
The patriotic Smalls may poll a.
600 votes in the 7th South CAROLINA
district, and yet it ayails nothing
against the terroizlng tactics of the
White Leagues. Although the re-
publieaas of the 9TH Mississippi dis
trict have a eolored majority of q, 440,
the entire opposition to the White
League candidate musters only six
votes.
And what is to be 'sthrown'' into
New York? Just what was thrown
into New York city at the last cleo
ton. The sum of 100000 was
spent in carrying that city last fall,
and thus the state was carried. 1t
is to be repeated next November,
for New York and a solid South are
absolutely necessary to democratic
success.
Such a situation is only less grave
than that which overwhelmed the
country at the outbreak of the re-
bellion. 1t is a desperate political
game, dependent for its success on
brute force and bribery of the most
stupendous character. 1t is such a
situation that the royal republican
party is called TO confront and over
come. The party is really called to
save the country from enemies as
ipsidious as treason and more dan
gerous than open and armed batal-
liops.-Te Telegraph,

The Grand Army Pension Bill.

The pension committee of the Unit
ed States senate has reported Sena-
tor Manderson's pension measure,
known as the Grand Army bill, with
a unanimous recommendation that it
be passed. This is the bill that Presi-
dent Cleveland vetoed last winter,
but it is now modified to meet his OBJ
jections, and the general purpose of
the bill is endorsed throughout the
country. 1t aims primarily at the
relief of two classes-ex -soldiers and
sailors of the late war who are in
capacitated for manual labor, and the
dependent relatives.
In the case of dependent parents
the provisions of the bill require only
that the death of the soldier, the non
existence of widow or minor children,
and the dependency of the parents
on their own manual labor or the con-
tributions of others not legally bound
for their support, shall be proved.
The time of commencement of such
pensions is fixed at the date of the
passage of the act or from the date
of subsequent dependence.
The sum of $12 month, the same
amount fixed on vetoed bill, is grant
ed to all honorably discharged sol
diers incapacitated for labor through
mental or physical disability not the
result of their own vicious habits or
gross carelessness. The language of
the vetoed bill was: s'Disability
which incapacitated them for the per-
Torrance of labor in such a degree
as to render them helpless to earn
livelihood, and who are dependent
upon their daily labor for support.
The new bill reads: DISABILITY
which totally incapacitated them for
the performance of manual labor"
The provisions of the bill are limit
ed to those who served in the late re-
bellion, and not extended, as in the
vetoed bill, to all soldiers of any war
in which the United States was en-
gagged. A feature of the new bill is
the granting of pensions to the wild
ow, or minor children under Is years
of age. The pension of minor chill
dren is increased from So to S. a
month and that of idiotic or help
less minors continued through life or
the period of disability. A maximum
fee of SO is allowed to pension
agents instead of fee of five dollars
with discretionary power in the COM
missioner of pensions to increase it
to $40, as in the vetoed bill.

Some idea of the fury of the three
days blizzard may be gathered from
the fact that on the New York Cen
trail road, between Buffalo and SYRIA
cuse, there were several live stock
trains when the storm came on. An
effort was made to run them to points
where the stock could be sheltered,
but in spite of all efforts nearly fifteen
carloads of cattle and hogs, destined
for Boston and New York, were froz-
en- to death near Palmyra, and seve-
raj carloads at other points.

sible for Cleveland which will be
pretty hot in New York and consid-

The seventy millions of dollars
which Germany expended on the army
is to equip 100000 additional men
with the new rifles. With Russia to
the east and France to the south and
west, Germany must needs arm every
man if she would preserve her nation
al life. When the next European
war comes it is safe to say it Will not
be duel. -Four powers at least will
be engaged. If England and Italy
can keep out and hold their own they
will be fortunate indeed.

An enterprise of great magnitude
and practical value has been COM
pleted in California, after FIVE years
of labor and the expenditure of a
million and a half of dollars-the
MERGED Canal, by means of which
not merely the heart of the San Joa-
quin valley Gan area of about 465
square miles) can be thoroughly ir-
rigated, but also an immense water
power afforded for all sorts of manu-
features. The reservoir, a square
mile of space. is kept full by dam
thrown across the MERGED River, and
vents itself through the canal, which
is twenty-seven miles long. Two
large tunnels were found necessary
to the construction of this canal.
The protector of this gigantic work is
a wealthy wheat farmer of MERGED,
Mr.. G. III. Huffman, and its chief
promoter is Mr.. Charles Croker, the
vice-president of the Southern Pacific
Railroad. Their work stands at the
head of all irrigating enterprises in
this country.

About fifty republican clubs have
been formed in Vermont, and hun
dreds of similar clubs have been
formed in other states. What means
this early political work in the cam
paign of 1888? We hope it will not
prove an exhaustion from what should
be done later on the "home stretch. ,"
At these preliminary meetings no ac-
ton has been permitted forestalling
nominations, either state or national.
This is certainly very proper. If,
therefore, it means more vigorous
campaign, as well as a longer one,
and one more sure of final success,
we can give it cordial welcome

The recent combination of the
sugar refners in a gigantic ''trust'
has not only already advanced the
price of refined sugar, but it has call
ed attention anew to the mischievous
character of such combinations.
Congress has acted promptly and the
New York Legislature aims to be
equally energetic in applying rene
dy if one can be found. The refiners
profits are now enormous, and are eo-
timated by one authority to be $780,
or, 900 for 1887; when to this is
added some S50,000,O0O for duty,
the burden that falls upon the people
is sheer robbery.

The president of Mexico has been
authorized to negotiate loan of S52,-
100000 based on per cent bonds
which shall not be sold at less than
20 per cent. The money thus obtain
ed will be devoted to the payment of
the S22, 100000 in bonds now held
in England and the payment of the
present floating debt, which will not
exceed S10,000,000. The plan is re-
garded as a sound one in Europe, land
it is reported that the bonds are be-
ing readily taken up in London and
Berlin at 81. The cost of the con-
version is estimated at less than 49,
100000 and a surplus of $40, 000,-
600 will be obtained for internal i'm
proVements. 1t is evident that the
credit of Mexico is improving.
Bismarck has just made q remark
able speech in the Reichstag, two
hours in length. 1t is one of the
boldest and at the same time one of
the most pacific speeches ever made
by the man of iron. 1t warns Russia
that Prussia means to have peace if
she has to fight for it, and in that de-
termination she is backed by defen-
sive treaty with Austria made in 1879,
and now for the first time made pub
lie. The boundless confidence and
audacity of Bismarck are strikingly
shown in two or three remarks.
Speaking of Russia the German chan
cellor said: "We do not run after
anybody ''we place our reliance on
the strength of our army - 1--WE Ger
mans fear God and nothing else in
