TRUSTS A LOCAL ISSUE.
BLAINE TRIES TO HEDGE ON HIS
RECENT SPEECH.

An Assertion that the National Gov
eminent Has No Power to Dissolve
Them-A Denial That They Are the
Fruit of the Protective Tariff Policy
Alleged Democratic Admissions.
DOVER, Me, Aug 3l.-James G. Blaine
addressed large open-air meeting at Fox
croft this afternoon. In opening he pro-
ceeded at once to consideration of trusts,
charging that they hourished to a greater
extent under the free trao3 policy of
England than under the protection policy
of the United States. He cited authorities
for his statement. OF the American trusts,
he said, there is not one among them all
that derives its being, owes its organiza-
ton, or came up under the patronage of
the national government Every one de-
rives whatever sanction of law it possesses
from the state government, generally one
state, but sometimes several The Presi-
dent, therefore, certainly should have
known when he arraigned trusts in his mes
sage to congress, that congress could not
dissolve them when their charters were
from state legislatures or their organize
tions under state law.
ALLEGED ADMISSIONS.
1t has been confessed by the democratic
House, ways and means committee, by
Chairman Mills, and every man that stood
as an advocate of free trade, that trusts had
no possible legal connection with the tariff.
The Presidents charge that trusts had their
origin in the protective tariff, has not foot
of ground to stand upon, and was contra
dicted in every line Of free trade
experience the speaker had quoted
from England. Now when all chance
to investigate the alleged bribery by which
a certain United States Senator, connected
with one of the largest trusts, was charged
with obtaining his seat, is past and gone,
the democratic speakers can make a loud
howl about trusts There was no demo-
cratic opportunity to get the true inward
ness of the trusts. but they shrank from the
investigation of the bribery, and both out
side and inside the administration they
were determined to have no investigation.
Trusts have no place in the national cam
paign. They are state issues, and the re-
publicans of Maine at least can be depended
upon to look after those in their state.

Reading Railroad is Fighting Him.
CHARLESTON, s. c., Aug. 31.-The con-
vention OF the Second congressional dis
trict, which has been in session at Aiken
since Tuesday last, adjourned to-day TIL
Sept. II. One hundred and seventy-four
ballots were taken without any change, the
vote standing:
Tilman ......r.................2 90

Henderson OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. -..lo
Mr. Tillman's vote is that of Edgefield
and Hampton counties; Mr.. Aldrich has
Barnwell and Colleton, and Dir. Henderson
has Aiken.
At the end OF the 174th ballot recess was
taken for an hour.
After the recess, Mr.. Sawyer of Aiken
moved that the convention adjourn till
Sept. II, ard after brief discussion the mo-
| ton was adopted,
1t is, of course, impossible to predict the
result, but the general opinion is that this
action means the defeat of Mr.. Tillman,
and shrew ed politicians confidently predict
the nomination of Mr. Henderson when the
convention reassembles.
INSIDE HISTORY.
WASHINGTON, Aug 3l.-Said A.
Ganthrore of Charleston to-day: "There
is an inside history Of the fight which is be-
ing made against Mr. Tillman which is to
see the light. He was chairman of the
Reading strike investigating committee, and
MORALLY offended the president and other
high officials of the road by his persistent
delving and probing after facts They have
learned that his report will advocate strin-
gent measures of relief for the oppressed
coal miners of the anthracite region, and
have determined to defeat him. They
will spare no means to accomplish their
purpose, but it is doubtful if they can sue
ceed Mr.. Tillman comes from the black
belt He is very popular with both blacks
and whites. His brother is at the head of
the Farmers Alliance, and he will prove a
hard man to defeat in a three-cornered
fight. DO you know what remedy he will
propose for the labor troubles i'll Pennsyl
vania? the application to the anthracite
region of Henry Georges plan of land
tax, assessing the coal lands up to their full
valne and taxing them accordingly"

Manufacturers Must Depend on the
Mills Bill for Relief
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-Manufacturers
of worsted goods have been appealing re-
Gently TO the president to send a special
message to congress calling its attention to
the disparity between the duties imposed
on wooden goods and those imposed on
worst goods, through the mistake in the
act of 1888, and urging that the inequality
he corrected by joint resolution. 1t is be-
lieved that the president will not do this.
The secretary of the treasury called the
attention of congress to this inequality and
urged its correction in his annual report in
December. The dem)cr Of the ways and
means committee corrected it in the Mills
bill. If the worsted manufacturers of
Massachusetts,, or those of Pennsylvania,
who have been appealing to the president
would induce the Massachusetts, or the
Pennsylvania senators to vote for the Mills
bill they would get the relief they seek on
October l.

A Speech Which Makes His Party
Look Like q Republican Aid Society.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., Aug. Sl-At a pro-
hibition mass meeting here to-day, the
principal speech was made by Gen. Fisk
He said: II could not talk against the Re-
publican party any moro than could scold
my mother. I couldn't do that-even if she
were wrong. l don't wonder it takes you a
long time to get out of the Republican
partv II took me ten years to get out of
It, for ! walked in battle under its banner.
But the party ought to have taken up this
issue They would not do it, They said:
by and by; wait awhile
NOT A DEMOCRATIC AID SOCIETY.
''The prohibitionists are not a democratic
aid society. They are not froe tr1ders, but
they are the best kind of protectionists ex-
tant." He could not say much good of
President Cleveland, but Gen. Harrison
was his comrade in arms and was good
man. There are only two things talked
about in this campaign of 1885. Uppermost
is the topic of prohibition of
tariff. The republicans and democrats
were discussing only one of these. The
leader of the Republican party-the uu-
crowned king, a wonderful king, a wonder
full man, who ought to be here working for
this cause-when he came home, said:
Don't talk anything but protection, and do
not touch prohibition, for the platform will
not stand it.
A RISING GENERATION.
"Our infant industries are rising genera
ton, and they ought TO be protected and will
be best by prohibition, and our homes with
them. We protect our laborers by closing
the dram shops; eleven-slxteenths of the
money spent in them, comes out of the saw
ings of the poor, and amounts to $780,
10000. We propose to take care OF every
industry, and save for the laborer every
dollar he earns, and let him buy his cloth
ing little cheaper too. Prohibition is sure
TO win, for this great reform, like the rising
tide, is beating all along the shore This
agitation will never cease, for platform,
press and pulpit are with it, and there will
be no longer desolation in this fair land OF

RUIN IN A WATER SPOUT.
Hot Springs Devastated by a Terrible
Storm and Several Lives Lost


Storm and Several Lives Lost.
LITTLE Rock, ARK, Aug. 3l.-The
G1<ettes Hot Springs Ark special says:
To-day is an epoch in the history OF Hot
Springs. The city is Quilted. Ruin and
wreck meet the vision everywhere, and
nothing like it has been known to compare
with the results of the storm which occurred
last night too late to be- telegraphed.
1t was water spout, and the valley was
swept with mighty tidal wave. The loss
to property is fearful, while the sacrifice OF
human life is, under the circumstances, ap-
palling. Without warning, people were
wakened from their slumber to find them
selves threatened with destruction by mad
waves. Strange to relate, few people were
conscious of the terrible disaster till they
woke to look upon the desolate scene this
morning and drag the drowned from the
water.
BURSTING OF THE CLOUD.
The storm struck the town about II o'clock
last night from a northwesterly direction.
1t was accompanied by stiff, cool wind,
though not strong enough to produce dam
age. The rain fell in torrents from IL TO
o'clock without cessation indeed, those who
witnessed the awful scene describe it as one
never before seen by them. Vivid flashes of
lightning displayed, as it were, great sheets
of falling water At the close of the storm
a great and ominous sound, mingled with
the shouts of people and cries of distress,
went up from the valley, and such citizens
as were in the vicinity of the creek and
ravines went forth to render assistance.
The flood on Central avenue, the principal
thoroughfare, became an angry river whose
rushing tide swept everything movable on
its bosom.
TRANSFORMED INTO A TORRENT.
For over half an hour the avenue was
transformed into torrent fifty yards wide.
Barrels, boxes and parts OF houses came
down on the the tide and were left strewn
on the sidewalks. Several large hotels were
flooded to Il depth Of four feet. Many
buildings were totally wrecked.
Up to this hour five persons have been
found dead in wrecked buildings and an
other is missing. The damage to property
is estimated at 100000

GOODS EN- ROUTE TO CANADA.
Senator Cullom's Resolution Laid
over tor q Day.

over tor Day.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-In the Senate
to-day the resolution offered yesterday by
Mr. Cullom calling on the Secretary of the
Treasury for information as to whether
transit in bond without payment of duty on
goods, wares and merchandise to and from
Canada has been permitted, since July l,
1885, when article 30 of the treaty of Wash
ington, and section 3 of March |, 1873, are
said to have ceased to be in force, and if SO,
to what extent, and by what authority of
aw, was taken up for consideration.
Mr.. George argued against the resolution
as unnecessary and reviewed the legislation
on the subject of the transit of goods in
bond. He held that under the existing law
the President had right to prevent the
transfer of goods under the duplex system
first, as an import and as export from
Canada to foreign countries; but that the
President could not prevent the other oper
alton, that is, the transfer of foreign
goods coming into the United states and
destined for Canada.
Mr.. Culom said he had noted the statutes
critically on the subject, and would let the
resolution stand over till tomorrow.
The resolution accordingly went over
without action
