CHAIRMAN QUAY, of the Republican
National Committee, has had two di-
rectOrieS of the voters of New York
City made and hopes by it to be able to
detect and punish the Democratic frauds
upon the ballot, which are such noto-
rious feature of every election in some
of the lower wards of New York City.
If he can keep the fraudulent Democrat
ic votes in New York City down to TO-
600, he says the Republicans are sure of
the State. Quay does not talk much,
but what he says is to the point, and
the Democrats are not at all pleased by
such thorough and energetic efforts af-
ter fair election as he is making. They
know very well that it makes their pros
poets in New York very, very doubtful.

"MUCH has been said about reno wing
taxes upon necessaries and imposing
them upon luxuries. What does this
mills bill propose to do in that direc-
ton? 1t gives free olive oil to the epi-
cure and taxes castor oil 81 per cent;
it gives free tin plate to the Standard
Oil Company and to the great meat-can-
ming monopOlies, and imposes duty of
100 per cent. on rice; it gives the Sugar
Trust free bone black, and proposes pro-
hibitory duties on grocery grades of su-
gar; it gives free licorice to the tobacco
manufacturer, while retaining prohibi-
tory duties on manufactured tobacco; it
imposes duty of 40 per cent. on the
poor mans blanket and only 80 per
cent. on the Administer carpet of the
rich. 1t admits free of duty the fine
animals imported by the gentlemen of
the turf, and makes free the paintings
and statuary of the railway millionaire
and coal baron" J. RandaWs

WINTER CLIMATES FOR INVALIDS

WINTER CLIMATES FOR INVALIDS
Gen. A. w. Greely in Seribner's for November.
The elements which constitute per-
feet winter climate are not all meteoro-
logical. While ideal weather is the pre-
dominating part of perfect cHmate,yet
the physical characteristics of certain To-
calities often neutralize the effect of blue
sky, balmy breeZes, and equable temper
ature. \ friable aSh-like soil, which
easily lends itself to fill the air with fine
dust, the presence of lOw-lying swamp
and morass to send forth nOisome exhal
ations and poison the otherwise pure air
with germs of malaria OF fever, are i'm
portant elements in winter climate, but
their description and limitations belong
rather to the domain of the chemist and
physical geographer than to that of the
meteorologist. 1t is the meteorological
phases with which this article must par
ticularly deal.
This line of research excludes, then,
two important climatic essentials: the
purity of the air and the relative drynesS
of the essentials which for any
health-reSort must be chronicled by the
local scientific and medical authorities.
Other very important qualities are
moderate warmth, small variability of
temperature, with less than the average
daily range, freedom from excessive
phases of either absolute or relative hu-
midity, genial, gentle winds, frequent
but not heavy showers of rain, and
large proportion of possible sunshine. In
short, a moderate temperate, fairly dry
and sunny climate is the deSideratum,
the difficulty of finding which in perfec
tion has well been termed an idyllic
quest.

EVERY one has a good word to say
about the silent voter. There is one
kind of silent voter, however, who does
more than anything else to perpetuate
bad government. We refer to the man
who nOisily declares his interest in good
government all through the campaign,
and then on election day fails to depos-
it his vote.

IT can hardly be necessary for me to
say that am heartily in sympathy with
the declaration of the Convention upon
the subject of pensions to our soldiers
and sailors. What they gave and what
they suffered. 1 had some opportunity
to observe and, in small measure, to
experience. They gave ungrudgingly;
it was not a trade, but an offering. The
measure was heaped up, running over.
What they achieved, only distant gen
Grafton can adequately tell.-HarriSOR'S

Pro>tituting the Pension Departments.

Prohibiting the EenSiSh lBtpaRrImcnl-
Having disgraced the postal service of
the country in the interest of Democracy,
the pension Office is being run rs pOlit-
ical machine, but the soldiers are not
benefited thereby. Never before in the
history of this country has the issuing of
a pension been made method of adver-
tising. a large majority of the pensions
issued are for two dollars per month. A
pension of that amount is simply an in
suit. How much support cSn a man
get out of s24 per years If a man is en-
titled to assistance at all it should be
given him. Two dollars per month
would not support Democratic office
holders, ''Old Romans" or railroad
kings running Democratic campaigns
and sweeping through the country in
private cars, very long. But that is just
the thing that is now visible to the naked
eye. The allowance of - per month to
pensioner is an insult, and every soldier
should so regard it, and all soldiers should
resent the insult in the most emphatic
manner possible.

THE BOLIVAR LOOP.
Friars Point and Clarksdale After q
Branch Railroad.

we see from an article in the Banner
that Clarksdale is on tho anxious seat"
and is trying to induce the L., n. O. & t.
to make that little city the terminus in
this county of the Bolivar loop" OF the
road, says the Friars Point Broadare. Now,
we do not propose to say word against
our sister city, and dislike to do anything
that will retard her progress; and bnt for
the fact that We know OF n much better
route than the one proposed by the Banner,
and better terminus than CLarksdale, we
would lend her helping hand. This
cannot be, however, That Clurksdale
will not be the terminus Is al assured
fact. In the first place, IL the road runs
through the thickly settled portion Of
the north end of Bolivar county, and 1t
is almost compelled to do this to get the
appropriation, in order TO get back to its
main line south OF Hushpnckana, il must
run diagonally back and stop az Shaw's or
Duncan's; but II, instead oil this, II bridges
that bayou, there would be no indncement
10 90 TO Carksdaie. A better route would
be TO take a direct line for this place, strike
the river here, then down the east bank OF
Moon Lake, cross Y,lzoo Pass on its present
bridge, and Lula its terminus. There is
much TO be said in favor of the adoption OF
this route. After getting into this county
this road would pass through one continu-
GUS plantation until II reached Lula. This
country is now without railroad facilities,
and all the shipping is done by river. We
are informed by gentleman who made it
n business TO ascertain the facts that
twenty thousand bales of cotton was
shipped from this county by river last
year, and the great bulk Of ii north
OF Sunhower landing. The road would
have chance at this, which is an item in
itself, and then by adopting This route
tapping the main line at Wilezinski, In
Washington county. The route over this
loop would be from twenty-five to thirty
milk, 5 nearer New Orleans than by the
main line. These are facts well known to
every one familiar with the topography Of
this and our sister counties. Further, We
can say that most of the planters along the
proposed route have been spoken to, aud
will give the road right Of way.
