Averting Danger.

From the 81. Louis Republic (Dem.)
The negro movement toward Indiana con-
tinues and increases as the time for registra-
tlon grows shorter. When the same negro can
vote once in Kentucky and twice in Indiana,
the bloody-shirt shakers will be at last con-
WINGED that our institutions are not in danger.

The Chicago Tribune is discussing the
question. "Why Was Not JEFF Davis
Hanged!" The Tribune thinks this is
good year for such a discussion, but it is
mistaken. Its venom lasts a long time.

Robert Anderson, aged IS years, " reads a
dispatch from Pottsville, Pa, sis lying at
the point of death at his fathers house, as
the result of heart trouble produced by
cigarette smoking" Deaths caused by cigar
cite smoking are quite common, but the
ma, ufacture Of cigarettes is not ON the de-
crease. OF course the manufacturers will
make them as long as the demand continues.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Down with the Trusts.

From the Neto York Herald I1ld)
Flour is getting dearer. Loaves of bread are
either smaller or higher priced. Crackers have
gone up cent pound. Trusts are 'prl-
vate affairs and have mo place" in national
campaign The poor man has no rights which
the combine is bound to respect

The republican organs express the opinion
that the national democratic ticket is
greatly weakened in New York by the
action of the democratic factions in New
York city. They should not forget that
the state has gone democratic several time
when there were rival democratic eau di-
dates for mayor Of New York.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1888-10-09

Mayor Hewitt doesn't believe in letters of
Endorsement. He says he doesn't want Mr..
Cleveland, or anybody else, to indorse him.
While the President, no doubt, has a high
regard for Mayor Hewitt, he would hardly
think of Endorsing" him, when there are
two democratic candidates for mayor of
New York in the field.

If the republican clerks in the pension
Office are trying to use their positions to
injure the democratic prospects, they can't
be bounced too soon.

An Inconsistent Party.

Nobody can say what the position of the
Republican party is relative to the tariff
and the surplus. In its platform it says one
thing, and on the stump it says another.
Only few days ago Gen Harrison, in a
speech to a visiting delegation, said that
there was no occasion for bothering about
the surplus, and that it ought to be spent
in buying bonds. He meant, of course,
that any price, however exorbitant it
might be, ought to be paid for them.
But it seems that the republican senator's
do not agree with Gen. Harrison. They
think the surplus ought to be reduced, not
by spending it for high priced bonds, but
by reducing taxation. The tariff bill
which they have reported to the senate, as
a substitute for the Mills BILL provides, it
is said, for reduction of the revenues to
the amount of $75,0OO,0O0 This does
not look as if the republican party
agreed with its chosen leader upon the most
important issue of the campaign.
Thaty part would have the confidence of
the country to far greater extent if it
were to state exactly what its purpose is
with regard to the tariff. At present voters
are wholly in the dark with regard to it.
The party's national platform declares that
the tax on whisky must be taken off before
any part of the protective system is surren-
dered, and yet the republican senators have
Just reported bill against taking the tax
off whisky. but surrendering a part of the
protective system.
Are the voters to follow the Chicago con-
vention, the republican senators or Gen.
Harrison for the rest of the campaign
They cannot follow all of them, because
each one advises a course of conduct that is
Inconsistent with every other. If they vote
at all, they will vote the straight ticket
1t seems rather remarkable, however, that
they should be left in doubt about their
party's position with respect TO the tariff.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1888-10-09

The silent vote is going to make itself
felt in this campaign, and Cleveland and
Thurman are going to get it.

Gentlemen The wife of one OF my custo-
mers was terribly afflicted with loathsome skin
disease, that covered her whole body. She was
confined to her bed for several years by this
affection, and could not help herself at all. She
could notsleep from violent itching and sting

of the physicians VINO treated it. Her husband
began finally giving his wife Swift's Specific. and
she commenced to improve almost Immediately,

is now hearty, fine-looking lady, with no trace
of the affection left. Yours very truly,

TORONTO, Ont. Oct 25-The creditors OF
Newton p. r. Hatch, cigar manufacturer
OF this city, are mourning his departure, and
with him all prospects of securing payment
of their claims On Friday night Hatch and
his wife boarded the II o'clock train and are
now in the United States. The business ID
being carried ON by the foreman, under
directions of the Toronto creditors, until
meeting can be called The liabilities are not
known, but as Hatch had built up a large
trade they will be pretty heavy.
Hatch's wife ran away recently to Phila-
delphia with 81 200 of his cash and his jew.
elry. Hatch, who was devotedly attached
to her, became almost heartbroken and tool
TO drink. He neglected his business, and his
creditors, seeing how matters stood, began te
press for money. Finally, Mrs. Hatch, hav
ing spent all the money, returned and was
forgiven, and Hatch tried TO get ON his feet
again. Seeing, however, that it was hope
less to try to pull out of 1.-THE holen he was
in, he decided to steal away.
About nine months ago Hatch was arrested
here, soon after his arrival from New York,
on charge Of bringing stolen property into
Canada. He had Incorporated funds OF
the United States and the Baltimore and Ohio
Express companies, Of which he was trusted
employee, and had fed to Canada. During the
progress of the trial, Hatch came to settle
ment with his creditors and the charge wal
