Democratic Veterans.
From New York Times.

A number of ex-union soldiers have
signified their intention of forming a
society of Democratic soldiers through
out the union. A document was
drawn up yesterday which reads as
follows:
For 20 years the Republican party
has claimed that the rebellion was a
Democratic war, and that Republican
soldiers won the victory. New York
City furnished at least 10000 soldiers,
none of whom were Republicans. The
time has come when the Democratic
soldiers are prepared to claim their
rights. Two thousand enlisted men
are ready to stand by the side of our
generals, Slocum, Sickles, Sigel, Coch-
rane, and 1000 more will wheel into
line as soon as they find their party
will stand by them.
ave will hold a mass meeting at
Nilsson hall, East Fifteenth street, near
Irving place, Nov. l, at s p. NJ. We
will also parade on the night of Nov.
3, and do defy the Republicans to
meet us man to man, general for gen.
eral, officer for officer. Further, we
propose to 60 beyond this election
and invite the Democratic soldiers to
join in forming society throughout
the union which will prove that the
DEMOCRATS of this country held the
guns which saved the Union"
Among the signatures to the above
are those Of Gems. w. II. Slocum, Dan

True Words From Hill.

ALBANY, Nov. 8.-Gov. Hill was
serenaded tonight at the Executive
Mansion, and, in his address to the
thousands of persons who thronged
the lawn and terraces, occurred these
utterances:
"Our success in the gubernatorial
contest is marred, however, by the
shadow of national disaster. In COM
mon with every true Democrat, l
greatly regret the defeat Of President
Cleveland in the State and in the ma
ton. He deserved better at the hands
of the people of this country. Honest,
brave and courageous, he gallently led
his party in the great contest for tariff
reform, and suffers defeat, owing to
false clamor, unjust prejudices, unfair
representations, AMI the gigantic and
combined efforts of all the monopolists
of the country. He did his duty, as
he understood it, regardless of personal
or political considerations, and he
should have been sustained by the tax
payers, consumers and masses of the
people, whose true interests he desired
to subserve, and whose rights he un-
selfishly endeavored to maintain. 1t
is not now necessary OF profitable to
inquire whether the issue which he 30
boldly made might not more wisely
have been earlier presented or post
poned to later period. 1t is sufficient
to say that as the trusted leader Of the
Democratic party, after full and care
full consideration OF the whole subject,
he deemed that the best and truest in
terests of the country required that
the issue should be made at this crisis,
and with that patriotic and deliberate
conclusion, when once reached, there
should have been prompt acquies-
cence."

The Deadliest Of Weapons.


OF all the engines of wholesale mur-
der the Lebel gun is considered the
most fatal. The secret lies partly in
its smOkeless powder. The army that
has the benefit of it can conceal from
the enemy the presence of both its
artillery and infantry. The opposing
battalions may hear the thunder of
guns, but they cannot discover the
position of the marksman nor the OBJ
ject OF which they are aiming. 1t will
be equally impossible to estimate the
distance or ascertain the direction in
which the fires could be returned.
The cavalry will be helplessly exposed
to slaughter. Strategy on a large
scale will be impossible, and military
tactics will be placed on entirely new
basis. OF course, such a weapon is
not likely to remain long in the pos
session OF one amy, though certainly
the Minnie rifle in the hands of
Prussian soldiers, played havoc in the
Crimea and Austro-German wars
among foes not SO well provided. The
needle gun, which enables the Prus-
slams TO shoot six times as fast as the
Austrians has long since ceased to be
admirable, having been succeeded by
far superior beeech-lOadeIs. A Ger
man journal questions the advantage
to civilization of such improvements
i'll the art of killing, but when Ger
many possesses or beats Lebel's inven-
ton, it will not be squeamish in avail
ing itself of the inventors skill.

SOME OLD WHEAT.-"A most inter
esting experiment eliminated yester-
day in the raising of some wheat
grown from seed as old as the Exodus" )"
says the Cincinnati Enquirer. "The
experimenter is David Drew. who last
year received from friend in Alexan-
dria, Egypt, some grains OF wheat taken
from mummy exhumed near the
ruins Of Memphis, and belonging, it is
believed, to the period of the ninth
dynasty, which would make it grown
about 5000 years B. c., or nearly
quo years old. He planted the
seed early in the spring and care
fully nursed it. 1t grew rapidly
and at the time of cutting measured
from six and half to seven feet high.
The leaves alternate on the stalk like
common wheat, but the product of the
plant is the most singular part of it,
for instead of growing in an ear like
modern corn there is heavy cluster
OF small twigs in place of the spindle
which hangs downward from its
weight, and each twig is thickly stud
ded with kernels, each of which is in u
separate husk. From what is threshed
a larger crop will be grown next year,
as the result proves this grain to ex-
Gel in quantity anything that the
modern grain can grow"

The National Grange.
THE ANNUAL CONVENTION NOW IN sEs-
SION AT TOPEKA.

lHE ANNUAL CONN ENIlON NOW IN SES-
SION AT TOPEKA.
Topeka, Kan, Nov. 15.-The annual
convention of the National Grange Of
Patrons of Husbandry met here yes
terday. Every State in the Union
was represented. Standing commit
tees were announced. This morning
Acting Master James Draper delivered
the annual address. He spoke of the
fiourishing condition of the order, and
said that during the past year 1913
subordinate oranges have been organ
lied, the greatest increase being in
North Carolina. Past experience
showed that the organization needed a
more perfect system in supervision of
its legislative interests. He recon-
mended that some person with author
ity to act for the grange be stationed
in Washington during the sessions of
Congress.
After criticising the action of the
United States Senate in rejecting the
bill to enlarge the powers and duties of
the Department of Agriculture, he
turned hfs attention to trusts, which
he denounced as injurious to the pro-
ducer and consumer alike to an extent
unparalleled in the worlds history.
On the tariff question he said: "De-
claration of the purposes of our order
demands protection for the weak, and
restraint upon the strong. Equitable
tariff legislation is an issue second to
none in this direction, and to accom-
plish anything we must use our undi-
vided influence and organized power
in demanding reduction Of the highly
protected industries to correspond
with the protection agriculture is re-
ceiving, or else an increase of protec-
ton to agriculture that shall be equi-
table and just to all concerned"
The annual convention of the Farm
ers' Congress of the United States
also met in this city. The roll call
showed that thirty States were repre-
sented.

Electric-Light CarbOns.

HUNDRED AND FIFTY TONS.

THE DAILY CONSUMPTION AVERAGES A
HUNDRED AND FIFTY TONS.
Where are all the carbons made
that are burned daily in the electric
lights in use in the United States p
asked Mail and Express reporter ol
the President of one OF the leading
light companies in this country the
other day.
"Two-thirds of them," he replied
i" are manufactured in Cleveland, o.
They are according to the latest statis-
tics, about $50 tons in daily consump-
ton, and out of that number a shade
over 100 tons are turned out in the
twenty carbon furnaces in Cleveland
The capacity of an ordinary furnace
is about 45,OoO carbons, but some Of
the manufacturers are now running
overtime, SO great has the demand
grown. Six years ago all the carbons
burned throughout the country were
made in a single room in Boston,
where only ten men were employed.
Carbons are made chiefly from the
residuum Of oil after it has been re-
fined, and the deposit usually found
around the natural gas well is also
coming into general use, as it does
not sputter when made into carbons.
The material is first gound into a
powder, when little pitch is added
and the whole mixed into stiff batter,
when it is run into molds. These are
then packed into boxes and the latter
placed in furnace where they are
subjected to an intense heat. Carbons
are now sold Mt $27 a thousand, with
the prospect of an early increase in
price.

WHAT A wELL-KNOwN WOMAN SAYS OF
ALASKAN CIVILIZATION,

|
New YORK, Nov. 16.-Mrs. Voor.
hees, well-known lady of this CITY
recently returned from an extended
tour through Alaska, and has related
some of her experiences during her
travels. "What impressed me most
profoundly and filled me with sorrow"
she said, "is the awful condition OF
the Indian women in Alaska"
Travellers hint vaguely at this idea,
official reports allude briefly and apol-
ogetically to it, but the great world is
ignorant OF its existence. If people
realized. that in the wilds- of Alaska
this civilized, refined, advanced nine
teenth century the United States holds
IA perfect inferno of crime and torture,
where helpless women and mere child
rem are being sacrificed and gradually
exterminated, surely some remedy
might be found.
In all that country there is no law.
There can be no restraint, and the
lowest animal passions of rough min
ers, trappers, hunters, soldiers and sail
ors reign unchecked. The Indian wo-
man is considered the lawful spoil OF
these men. They steal them if they
can, and if not, buy them from their
parents for knife, a jug of rum or a
string of beads.
Mrs. McFarlane told me of one
woman who brought her last remain
ing gill to school and prayed that she
might be taken in. She told heart
reIding tale OF how other daughters
had been torn from her and carried to
ruin and death, and she said she was
powerless to protect this last little one" Z"
Asked if any remedy suggested itself,
Mrs. Voorhees, said:
"Only the universal one-education.
Teach these people and they can be
saved. They are amenable to instruc-
ton and take readily to useful arts
and handicrafts. Some of the Indians
do wonderfully nice hammered silver
work, and the women are very teach
able, and readily acquire knowledge of
genteel feminine pursuits."

A Lesson Here at Home.


| The workingmen of California have
not had long to wait for an object les.
son on the effects of the prohibitive
tariff policy that was to give them
work and high wages. They were told
that their present employers wanted
the present tariff maintained so that
the American market might be pre-
served for American labor. The peo-
pie have consented to be taxed for
that object, and now it turns out that
those same public-spirited employers
are having their contracts executed in
Europe.
Why is it that the Risdon Iron
Works is having the engines and boil
ers OF the australia made in Scotland
instead of at home 1t is because the
proprietors of that establishment, be-
ing business men rather than patriots,
except at election time, find it more 10
their advantage to buy finished arti-
Gle in free market and pay one tax
on it in lump, than to make an arti-
Gle OF a dozen materials, every one of
which have been taxed at every stage
of its manufacture.
The San Francisco ironworks paws
$50 ton for his pig-iron. The Scotch
manufacturer gets his for $40. The
Scotchman pays 80 or 50 u ton for his
coal. The San Franciscan is lucky to
get his for $12. Is it strange that iron
manufactures can be turned out more
cheaply in Scotland than here
When production here is SO heavily
handicapped on the side of materials,
the employers naturally look to see if
there is not chance to cut down
wages. They are already beginning
to hint that the present rates are too
high for fair competition with the
East and Europe. That is natural.
The returns from manufactures must
be divided among wages, materials
and profits, and whatever is added to
the cost of materials must be taken
from one or both of the other two.
1t would not be human nature for the
employers to wish the loss to come out
OF profits; so of course they turn to-
ward wages.
The tendency of unnaturally high
protective tariffs is always toward low
wages. 1t has been disguised in this
country by the fact that our vast re-
sources and scant population have
kept the rewards of labor higher, in
spite of the prohibitive tariff, than in
countries less favored. But even here
the tendency may be traced. Wages
have increased faster with us in low
tariff than in high tariff periods, and
they have always been lower in highly
protected than in unprotected indus
tries.
But it is in Europe that the drift
may be seen most clearly. There the
highest tariffs go constantly with the
lowest wages and the most miserable
working population. No protected
country of Europe comes as near to
the English standard Of living as the
English comes to America.
The workingmen of California had
a chance last week to help put their
work on solid foundation. The
Democratic party offered to remove
the disadvantages that stood in the
way of California industry, and so
enable San Francisco to manufacture
for half the world, instead of sending
her own orders abroad to be executed.
California declined the offer, and init
mated that she preferred cheap Chin
csc labor to cheap raw materials. She
will have abundant leisure for re-
pentance

favor OF Mr.. Hill, this looks

1aVOr OIL Mr.. Hill, this looks remark
able, if not suspicious. 1t comes tc
me from a pretty good source, thai
the Democrats in Brooklyn were beat
en- out OF about ten thousand votes by
Republican bribery and scullduggery.
From 7 o'clock until 10 o'clock cleo
ton night, I read three dispatches
from Brooklyn to the effect that Cleve
land had carried the county of Kings
by nineteen thousand plurality. In
the meantime, Hugh Mclaughlin. who
is at the head of the Democratic or.
ganization over there, was constantly
telegraphing Senator German that
Brooklyn would certainly give Cleve-
land twenty-three thousand majority
All Of a sudden there was IA tremen.
dOus and sensational drop. A dis.
patch came about midnight stating
that Brooklyn had only gone twelve
or thirteen thousand for Cleveland
1t knocked the boys of the National
Committee scnseless. 1t created a
panic that never saw before in po-
litical headquarters. They said that
they did not believe it; that it was a
fraud end cheat, and they wired i'm
mediately to find out if the report was
true. In return they got nothing at
all that was definite. This morning
several members of the committee,
with Chairman Murphy, of the tate
Committee, were in Brooklyn investi-
eating the returns. They found moth
ing that will at present alter the re-
suit; they found that Quay's money,
presumably $4,000, had done the
dirty work.
On in the State, the Republicans
stopped at nothing that money would
buy. 1t went by the thousands; per-
haps a half million was spent for
votes. Workingmen in factories that
could not be bulidozed were bought
hand out of hand. 1t was not ques-
ton OF principle, good government or
political economy. 1t was simply Al
question of dollars and cents; that is
all there is in it.
l am not utterly cast down and dis
heartened, though it is pretty rough
to get the Government after lapse
of twenty-five years, and lose it in
four years, especially after the party
has given the people an honest, clean
and economical administration of
government affairs. l congratulate
the Republicans upon their success,
and trust that it may do them power
of good to turn all the rascals out, es-
pecially the Democratic rascals.
l think that the vote will show that
the Democratic candidate for President
has received a majority of the popular
vote. Then we have the House,
which will prevent at least any more
burdens upon the poor classes. For
this VIC should be thankful. The
West shows up well, We did not
carry any State southwest of the Ohio,
and We did not expect to; but we will
eyDect them in 1899 for truth IL
mighty and will prevail; and l tell
you that the cause of tariff reform is
u true cause, and eventually it will
sweep this country, no matter how
many million dollars are disbursed
by the proprietOrs of the infant indus
tries
