AS VIEWED FROM NEW YORK.

Republicans Have Again Fallen into the Pit
Fall They Dug for the Democracy.
New YORK, Oct. 30.-All other news has
been over -shadowed tonight by the in
telIigence that the president has sent to
Lord Sackville his passport. 1t is we'll
understood that this step has not been
taken without the existence of state of
affairs that renders it necessary for the
assertion of the independence and dignity
of our government. The sentiment
here is one of universal approval of the
action of the president, not merely
among democrats, but also among repub-
licans. The news spread through the
town with wonderful rapidity, and the
citizens of foreign birth, and especially
the Irish Americans, are extremely en-
thusiastic over the decisive rebnke to
foreie n interference in American affairs
So far as thers was any possibility of such
an element as ind. pendent republicanism
it is al effaced tonight. The republicans
will inevitably lose the not inconsidera-
bic contingent of Irish-Am ericaD votes
that have always adhered to THAR party
in the east. The cooler heads are e.peci-
ally gratidsd that the decisive step ha.
been taken BY our government without
haste and after proper and courteous
represen tations to the British govern
ment. Everything has been done de
liberstely, bat finally decently and in or
der, and there is no dissent anywhere e1-
pressed from the entire correctness
of the course pursued. The republican
machine managers who relied on
| the SackviiIe trick are very
gloomy. They see that they have fallen
again into the pittali, they dug for the
democratic president and realize that
the last hope of national success IS
gone. They viii keep up the pretense
| of a conflict, and tomorro. will take fresh
heart and brsg and boast agaiu. But It
will be with the hope of saving
| the congressional districts and some
of the state legislatures, not vita tha. of
| electing Harrison president as Bieiue's
| deruty. 1t is the Blame policy that has
| absolutely broken down, and is is tou
late in the campaign for them to make
any change of front.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-An extraordinary
Vests mythical California CORES pond
ence is made by Martin Slough, young
attorney Of Los Angeles Co, in which the
village of Pomona il situated. Mr..
Slough is spending few days in Wash
ington, as the gsest of Mr.. John r. Mac
Gruder, of this city.
Mr.. Slough said: 'The nor ent read
the alleged Murchison letter saw through
the plot at once. 1t recalled to my mind
conversation between Frank W. Cherry,
of Los Angeles, and myself several weeks
ago. / ought 70 plain that Mr.. Cherry
is an active republican newspaper man
who vas formerly connected with The
Los Angeles Times, the paper which
originally printed Mr.. Vests letter. We
were talking abou. the efforts which the
republicans were making to win over the
Irish-Americsnv vote. I remarked that the
retaliation message of the president vss
having good effect upon that element.
Oh, you just wait g few weeks. We are
preparing q scheme that will beat the
retaliation measure alf 70 pieces"
81 didn't understand it then, continued
Mr.. SIoagh," but l DO now. Every cir
cumstspce points TO the facts that the
Murchiso1 latter was what Mr.. Cherry re-
ferred 70, and future developments viii
undoubtedly prove it. The republican.
in our section are des perate, and are r. ad |,
to resort to any measure which will check
rhe tide that is now running in our
favor /.

Report.
WAsEINGToS.-Caleb West, governor
of Utah, in his annual report to the
secretary of the interior, estimates
the population of the territory at 100000,
an increase of 66,o00 since his last re-
port q year ago. The manufacturing in
dustrIes of the territory srs in salts
factory condition and taken q. whole
the year has been progressive and pros
usually light rain fall during the
groTing season dry farming has not
been success but irrigated
land has produced abundantly. In the
course of his remarks upon the Mormon
question the Governor says: Nothing
can Justify the despotizm of the Mormon
political system TO the people who have
known ard appreciate the blessing of
free government. The word of the
priesthood is to the Mormon people the
command of God, not only in matters of
faith and morals, bat in ali civil, politi
cal and commercial affairs This priest
hood net only rules the church, but gov
erns the state" Pending set
tIement of the question of admit
ting Utah into the union the Governor
recommend the appointment by con-
gress of committee with full authority
to make thorough and complete inves-
tiystion &C the civil as we'll as of the re-
Iigious conditions heretofore and nov
prevailing in the territory. Justice to
the whole country, the governor says, as
we'll e. to the Mormon people requires
such an investigation to be made.

Whaling Vessels With Their Crews and Catch
Likely to be Lost in the Ice.
SAN Francisco. - The whaling lark
Howlana arrived from the Arctic
ocean to-day and reports six New Bed
ford and seven San Francisco whaling
vessels fast in the ice about latitude IA
north, longitude 174 west, near the place
where the Jeanette was broken up. The
vessels are in an extremely perilous
situation and the prospects of their
getting out are very poor. There are be
tween 500 and 600 men on the tied up
vessels and unless the ice breaks up soon
they will not be able to survive as their
provisions cannot hold out great length
of time. Two steamships have even
started to the relief from Fox Island, load
ed with supplies, and the result of this
ex pedition is awaited with great anxiety.
The value of the thirteen vessels, iuclud
ing the seasons catch which they have
aboard, will aggregate over half million
dollars.

If the speculations of the English
journals are correct, then they show th9
immediate relation between mental NOR.
bidity and crime. 1t il conceded by
many of them that the perpetrator Of the
Whiteohapel murders Is res spectabIe
gentleman during the day time and
fend at night. In other words that it is
real case Of DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde.
The police have under surveillance a
prominent resident of one of the fash
ionabla localities of London, who has
been discovered to be leading double
life, and who has been tracked on several
occasions to Whitschapel. The state
ment is made that this person is the vic
tim of morbid Imagination II which has
been thrown further out of gear by CON
tinual perusals of SteyeGsons story
Why may not this theory be correct? The
story itself is very outro one, quite
sufficient TO demorilize weak mind.
Many persons will remember that crime
is epidemic. A startling murder is like
ly to be followed by othsr murders which
may be less revolving. There are epidem-
ics OF suicide as we'll. 4 prominent
suicide is followed by several imitators.
1t may be so in in the case of this White
chapel feud. II murder itself could so
)nhuence others, why should not the re
cita of the details of crime do the same?
Recolleo5 that the story OF DR.. Jekyu and
Mr.. Hyde, though wholly unnatural is
very vivid. There may be something in
this theory.

OLD ROMAN ENR0UTE.


Hundreds Of Good Democrats Greet Him at the
Different Stations.
WHEELING, w. Va, Oct 29.-Judge
Thurman and his son Allen W., left
Columbus st II 20 this morning, a9d until
GAINESVILLE was reached had quiet time.
At that place 500 men had come together
to greet the "OId Roman" and when he
appeared on the platform he was
ahesrd Justify. He thanked them for
their greeting but his remarks were cut
short by dog fight in the midst of the
crowd. When the dogs had bsen driven
away and after short time spent in
hand shaking, the Judxs made short
speech in which hs advised all present TO
vote according TO their own conscisnces,
bat adding that he shonld vote for the
great aid good map-Grover Cleveland.
Cambridge turned out crowd of two
hundred people, with whom the judge
carried on a lively conversation during
the time the train stopped. Some one
in the crowd asked: "Wiil that West
letter have any influence on the election ?"
"Oh, no; that fellow has not enough
brains to hurt anything" laughingly re-
piled the Judge. 1t was too transparent
a trick to draw him into scrape to have
any influence with the people. 1t wae
simply a ridiculous campaign dodge"
At Barnesville fifty or more people
were at the depot and gave the judge
greebing. Fda enjoyed a short talk with
some old friends, but the stop was short
aud the train was hurried on to Bsllair,
where between one and two hundred peo-
pie stood on the platform and cheered,
while the reception committee from
Wheeling entered the train and formally
welcomed the jddge to West Virginia.
From Benwood TO Wheeling, cheering
people made themselves heard all along
the way and when the Wheeling depot
was reached crowd of most enthusiastic
democrats gave rousing welcome to the
party, fireworks adding to the
noise. Judge Thurman was
at once driven to the Wind
sor hotel where he will remain while in
the city. Tomorrow morning there will
be a daylight parade, in the afternoon
a number of speeches, and ID the even
ing a torch light procession, and Judge
Thnrman's address at the rink.

THE GREAT ExPosrTIoN AT PARIS
Some idea of the magnitude of the aui
yersal exposition of 1889 at Paris may
be gained from the fact that the total
area of buildings and enclosed grounds
is 100000 square feet The build
ings are fine structures of glass and
iron, lighted by electricity and are now
fast approaching ompletion. 1t is ex-
peoted that the total number Cf exhibit
ors from all countries will reach 10000.
The space allotted to the United States
is about 10000 feet and it is expected
that the exhibits from this country will
fully equal, if not surpass, those in 1878.
The shread manufacturer will seize this
opportunity for foreign display, and
thus create new markets for his goods
The S250,000 appropriated by congress
will enable our exhibitors to forward
their products with comparatively little
expense to themselves. Gen. w. B.
Franklin, the oommissioner-general aP-
poihIeu oy the pfeslueh', hhs esIao4iSheo
headquarters in New York and is now
busily engaged in receiving applications
and perfecting details for complete rep,
rssentation. All of the European coun-
tries, except Germany, take an interest
in the exposition and will make displays,
as will the South American republics,
MOxio o and Japan, and American maui
featuring and agricultural Industries can
not afford to miss the opportunity OF
showing the wonderful resources of our
country.

THr msn who bel:evee that under any

instead of being allowed 20 vote, should
be sent TO the idiotio asylum. The idea
that an election in America can be turned
one way or the other by the votes of men
who have no more sense thsn 70 use such
an argument, is ar outrage on the rights

Prof. Lester f. Ward has an article
on the real Woman Problem" in the No,
vember Forum, which we heartily com
mend to the attention of the female suf-
fragists. Hs opens with the interesting
declaration that true science teaches that
the education of woman is the only sure
road to the evolution of man, and insists
that woman is the race. "Recognizing
heredity as the distinctive attribute of the
female sex" he says, cit becomes clear
that it must he from the steady advance
fluctuations of man that the sure and
solid progress of the future is TO come
Woman, he continues, "is the unchanginx
trunk of Che great genealogic tree, while
man, with, all his Wanted superiority, is
but branch, & grated scion, as it were,
whose acquired qualities die with the in
dividual, while those Of woman are hand
ed on to futurlt!. Woman is the race,
and the race can be raised up only as she
Is raised up. If We properly understand
the Professor, his argument is all in the
direction of the elevation OF woman by
education and by training TO the plane
which msn occupies. In other words,
woman should be treated as the equal, and
not the inferior, OF man; rot his slave
but his companion. It is failure to do
this, Ne believe, which has given strength
to the wouxn's suffrage cause. If sH men
treated women with the same consider
alton they are forced to give to other
men as strong or stronger than them
selves, showing proper regard for their
personal and property rights IN the max
ing of laws and acknowledging their ex-
act equality in the domestic relation, the
race of stronger minded womsn would
soon become extinct.

THAT SACKYILLE-WEST LETTER.
Now 1t is Regarded at Washington and New
York.


York.
NEW wYoRK.-Congcessman Boutelle, who
came down from Rochester with Mr..
Blaine, speakeng of Minister Vests let
ter said; at is an amazing letter, and
certainly shows decided lack of diplom-
acy. But aside from the impropriety of
a diplomat medd!ing with the politics of
a country he is accredited to, think tae
Minister has gone very far in other direc-
tions. His letter accuses the President of
insincerity, and rather intimstes that his
action in regard to the retalistion bill was
merely to make political capital. Then,
too, he places tbs Senate in pretty much
the .eme category. Suppose our Minis
ter to England should write q letter advo-
eating the election of g Liberal to Office,
or Conservative, would it pass annotic-
eds He would be recalled, think, very
soon, at the request of the British Gov
ernment. 1t looks as if the same rule
should apply here"
