ALABAMA ALL RTGHT.-Aiabama Is ali
right The Democratic State ticket APP
pears 10 have received about 100000
majority. That is very well for a Aate
election, but we shall look for something
better when the Alahamians come to vote
for Cleveland. Still, 100000 will do on a

SOME PERTINENT QUEsTtoEs. Why
do not the Republican Senator'S permit
consideration Of the Mills bill. sent to
The Senate from The House Of represent
a,iyes some three weeks ago. Are tn Y
afraid of it? Have they ANYTHING 10
offer in lis place? They are keeping
Congress in session at Il great expense,
and seem To he doing nothing. Is il
| true that they cannot agree among them
selves CinciaHoh Eaquirer.
TA.IFF POINTERS High protection
means high prices; high prizes means
reduced consumption, AMI reduced con
sumption must inevitably be- followed ty
a reduced demand for labor and lower
wares. Per contra, free raw materials
mean cheaper production, increased con-
sumption, q greater demand for labor and
higher wages. This is not theory. IL il
fact, proven by experience .-Ne'c Lateh
Nelcs
THE SoUTH STILL SoLID.-as Ten
nessee has gone Democratic by an in
creased majority, it is time for the Re-
publcans to cease to claim it as pr3b-
able Republican State. The South Is
still solid and viii be so as long as il has
the party of seciionalism to tighr.-CI

BEN HUR HARRISON General VA
laces biography of General Harrison is
doubtless a fine piece of literary work,
but that it will be as popular "a "Ben
HUI" at ~ a volume is doubtful. An
edition at twenty five cents apiece is
what is needed To run its circulation mp
into the figures which will reflect credit
upon the author and subject. A Cam
paign life at 81 is little TOO rich for
the average VOTER Washington Post.
WHITE LINEN SWALLOW TAILS -
Since young Harry Cannon appeared in IA
| full dress suit Of fine white linen al Bur
| lington dozen or more Of the suits have
been ordered by young men Of fashion.
Dress suits of fine white flannel are also
worn at Bar Harbor and Narfaganseif
but they soil as easily as that of linen and
are not so easily cleaned. These suits are
| made with short swallowtaied coats aud
very low-cut vests and are worn with
fine birds eye linen shirts and white
null ties. They are exceedingly hccom-
ing to the average man of fashion snf
makes him look almost twice as large as
broadcloth suit.-Neao York Norniag

HARRISON As A SECOND FIDDLER
Poor Mr.. Harrison is practcing upon

casion being the arrival in Indianapolis
