THE farmers and gardeners of Belmont
county appreciate the advantage of good
home markets. These a Protective Tariff
has given them. Under the revenue tariff
which we had before the war compare
lively little manufacturing was done at
Wheeling. and that city was Of little i'm
portance as a market, compared with the
present. Bellaire, Martins Ferry, Bridge
port and GAINESVILLE amounted to no.
thing. Now those five towns contains a
population equal to the whole of Belmont
county, and Belmont county is the gran
airy which they draw from, mainly, for
their food supplies.
The Republican policy builds up good
home markets, and furnishes our people
profitable and certain employment. The
Cleveland policy will result in lowering
wages of working people, driving many
operatives in mills and factories TO the
pursuits of agriculture, and compel much
of our agricultural products to seek mar
kets abroad.
This is not matter of conjecture, but
has been the experience of the country.
THERE is no doubt that the annual
meetings of the people at the County
Fair have done much to promote good
feeling and fellowship among them, to
acquaint them with the ways of the world
and the improvements one another have
adopted, and that the live stock of the
county, especially, has been greatly i'm
proved by this means. Our County Fair
should be one of the best in the State
The county is in every respect one of the
foremost, and the exhibition grounds un-
surpassed anywhere. 1t should be a mat
ter of county pride to place these exhi-
bitions in the front, and keep them there.

THE Democratic New York Sun eff
fectually disposes of the claims of GER
tain Bourbon sheets that the election in
Maine shows Democratic gains, in this
wise:
The plain truth about the Maine elec-
tod is that ingenuity can devise no
form of comparison with past results
which exhibits the event as Democrat
ic victory, as an indication of a Demo-
cratic victory, as an indication of drift
of voters away from Harrison to Cleve-
land and Thurman, or as encouragement
to the notion that any one of the tradi-
tionally Republican States of the North
can be transferred this year to the Dem
ocratic column.
This year the Republican plurality
will certainly be over the average, and
will probably come to the highest fig
ures ever reached in September cleo
ton. The truth is that the Democratic
canvass has made no inroads upon the
solid Republican vote of Maine. There
is no sign of drift to Mr.. Cleveland.
If there is any drift it is the other way.

THE abolition of the duty on wool as
proposed by the Democratic party would
kill the wool growing industry of the
United States, and place the consumers
of wool in this country at the mercy of
the flockmasters of South America and
Australia. Then we would have to pay
their prices for wool or wear cotton.
That is the. way in which President
Cleveland proposes to cheaper the price
of the workingmen's clothing.

Prof. Barnard's discovery, at the Lick
Observatory, September 2, of a new
comet has been followed up by calcula-
tions by Prof. Boss, of the Dudley OBJ
servatory, at Albany, which approx
mately make out the bearings of the in
teresting stranger. He is long way
off, both from the earth and the sun, no
less than 100000 miles from the lat
ter and 190,000,000 miles from the earth
over twice the suns distance from us.
In the relative positions Of the earth and
the comet they are travelling towards
each other, and together cover a dis
tance of about 100000 miles every
twenty-fOur hours, velocity of approach
very unusual.
The brightness of the comet will stead
lily increase, until about November Is it
will be sixty times as bright as at its
discovery, but it cannot yet be deter
mined whether it will become visible to
the eye unassisted by the telescope Pres
ent indications are that a large tail will
be developed and that the object will be
to the astronomer brilliant one The
comets perihelion will be reached about
the 10th of December, after which it
will return into the depths of space.

THE Democratic organs say it is alb
surd to suppose that President Cleve-
land or the Democratic party intend any
injury to the manufacturers, wool grow
ers, or other producers. Senator Vest
ought to know about that. This is what
he said recently in letter, intended to
be private:
Mr.. Cleveland by his message, for
which 1 sincerely honor him, has chal-
lenged the protected industries of the
country to fight of determination. The
fight is to the death.

DIR. WOLFRED NELSON, the yellow
fever expert, on November 80 of last year
predicted that unless Florida stamped
out the yellow-fever germs, which were
known to exist, an epidemic would fol
low this summer. Now he says all the con-
ditions for the easy propagation of the
disease germs are present, and will not
likely be completely destroyed by the
cold of winter. The prospect is any
thing but assuring in the South, and
even in the North is ominous.

j IF. Mcdonald, owner of Long Knight
and other racers, is also bookmaker, and
Is known to his fellows as a good judge of a
thoroughbred. He has fondnesS for long
shots, and will bet more money on short
horse than any other man who visits the race
track. He is 30 years old, stoutly built,
and as smoothly shaven as a boy of is. He
Is genial and popular with his associates to
marked degree.
Ben Ali Haggan, son of the San Francisco
millionaire banker, J. B. Haggin, greatly
resembles Davy johnson in personal appear
ance. He was a very heavy bettor two
years ago, and won very largely on Tyrant's
victory in the Withers in 1855.
The Lorillards, Pierre and Pierre, Jr., are
both good betters, and the former Is said to
have won SC, 600 on Blazon at Gravesend
less than two weeks ago.
James Z. Kelly, the old-time bookmaker.
and at present holder of the betting privi-
legeS at Jerome park, was until year. or
two ago daring better, and it is reported
that news of The Bard's prowess reaching
his ears this spring, he could not resist the
temptation to tempt the tickle goddess of
fortune. He took flyer on that animals
chances in the suburban, and came ont $50, :
600 ahead on the venture. He is a short,
thick-set man of 50, with full gray whiske. S
and is also a resident of New York.
Isaac Thompson, another Gothamite, is
So years of age, of medium height and of
slender build. He is fond of short horses,
and this spring at Washington won So, 900
when Paymaster beat Lottery.
George Godfrey, Snapper Garrison and
Fitzpatrick, the well-known jockeys, have
more grit than thousands of men of double
and treble their avoirdupois, and at times
touch the ring right merrily. Last year at
Sheepshead Bay Godfrey rode Choctaw to
victory when he was ton to one against, He
won 5000 in bets, having put his last $500
on his own mounts.
The scene of the ring at Gravesend.
Sheepshead bay or Monmouth park on days
when the Brooklyn handicap, Suburban
handicap or Omnibus stakes are run, is
something never to be forgotten by novice
An adequate idea of the amount of money
handled in the betting ring on such days as
those mentioned can be drawn from the
tact that on Decoration day at Gravesend
sixty three bookmakers did business of
$1,26O,O00. This was exclusive of auction
and mutual pools.
