the Election Today

ST. ALBANs, Vt, Sept. 3.-The State can
vass practically closed Saturday night. The
Importance of the election on Tuesday is
fully realized by the free men Of the ''Green
Mountain State" as the result of the votes
cast for the State ticket will Enthusiastically
show whether the tide of public opinion in
the country is setting toward protection or
free trade. The campaign has been con-
Quoted strictly on the great national issue of
the tariff. the State issue being entirely
eliminated from the canvass; consequently,
the votes cast for governor at the election
will virtually indicate the presidential choice
of the voters.
The average Republican plurality at the
September election in presidential years,
since 1868, has been 23,600. In 1884 the plu-
rality T was 22,So4, and the majority was q, 500
The indications are that this year the Re-
publican plurality will exceed 25OO0
The fisheries message of President Cleve-
land viii have little, if any, influence. No
presidential bombast can divert the voters
from the tariff issue.

SOUTH PARIS, Sept. 3.-lt was impossible
to accommodate the crowd that gathered to
listen to the eloquent speech Of Hon. W. P.
Hepburn of Iowa, Saturday evening. The
Norway and South Paris band discoursed
fine music, and the speaker received warm
welcome from the audience. His address
was rich in strong points, which were forci-
bly, presented. The members of the Grand
Army especially were pleased by his re-

that is: supplied the manufacturer
with raw material and dyes. on each
of which made profit. and took his
manufactured goods, which sold at a

Third-Never have any thing to do

Cigars Made Of Paper.

Smokers will be interested to know
that not a thousand miles from Albany
there is firm which makes large
quantities of paper for this avowed pur-
pose. The plan of operation Is said to
be this: The paper. on reaching the to-
bacco warehouse. is repeatedly soaked
in q strong decoction of the plant 1t
is then cut up and pressed in molds
which give 10 each sheet the venation
of the genuine leaf tobacco. So close
is the imitation that expert tabacco
men and habitual smokers have been
deceived. At recent gathering in
this city cigars made from this paper
tobacco were passed around and de-
clared excellent Many of those pres
ent declared the cigars were made
from rare brands, and SO we'll was the
imitation carried out that one man
actually insisted that there could be no
mistake about the cigars being genu-
inc tobacco. Express.

Some Good Advice.

To the Kansas City Times.
Pasadena, Cal, Dec. 23.-Itwould
be but simple charity were you to
state in The Times that all working
men should steer clear of southern
California. The various trades un-
ions gave a warning note some time
ago, but it did more harm than good
inasmuch as it was interpreted as a
ruse to keep up wages. Wages here
obey the same laws as elsewhere and
tend to the actual cost of subsist-
ence. They cannot go lower here
until other things 60 down. Coal is
S21 per ton, wood SIS per cord,
butter 60 cents per pound, and all
other things in proportion. Irepeat
it il not question of wages, it is a
question of greater import. The
fact is there is not work enough to
employ more than half of the men
now in this section. If any one
contemplates coming here to look
for work he must not depend on
the assertions of those who are in.
terested in real estate; if he does he
will get left. Let him write to some
of the workingmen and get the facts
Thousands of unemployed mechan'
ics-good ones too-are walking
| about the streets of all these towns
all anxious to work and cannot fine
it. I do not say that capital may
not find remunerative investment
but he whose capital is nothing bu
his skill and energy cannot find op
Iportunity to use it.

John l.. Wants to Fight.

London, Dec. 21.-John L. Sulli-
van, now exhibiting in Glasgow, has
issued challenge to Smith or Kill
rain for $4,000 a side.
It is generally conceded in sport
ing circles that Kilrain won the fight
With Smith and that the American
is the better man. It is looked up
on in the light of moral victory.
As prize fights go they are brutal
affairs at best, but the fight yester-
day seemed to demonstrate that
such combats could be more closely
confined to the rules of science than
is usually the case. The Kilrain-
Smith affair WAS perhaps the best
and most gentlemanly conducted
fight of modern times. Allsectiona
of English society unite in applaud
ing tho American champion for his
prowess, his science and his gentle.

The Sportsman says the contest
between Smith and Kilrain was

prize fight.

Correct You Are.

that they are all alike, and having

POSTAL EXPENSES.
The Postmaster-Genera Submits
Estimates for 1890.

The Postmaster-General Submits
Estimates for 1900.
The Postmaster General of the United
States has submitted to the Secretary of the
Treasury his estimates for appropriations for
the postal service for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1890. They aggregate SGG, ,S12, ,O73
as against $50, $50, 3333, the appropriation for
the present fiscal year. THIS is an increase
Of S5,95l, ,S3a. The principal items and
amounts Of increase are as follows:
Mail depredations and Postofiice Inspec-
tors, SlGu, ,MU; compensation to Presidential
Postmastsrs, $S0U. .Ou0; compensation to clerks
in Presidential Pcstotiices, $500, 900; rent.
light, and fuel at Presidential Postofticos,
S1U5.0U0; free delivery servics, $1,000, 900;
transportation by star routes, $3.50, 900; mail
messenger service, S100,00J; Transportation
by railroads. 81. 10000; manufacture Of
postage stamps, $1,000; manufacture of
stamped envelopes. S96, 900; manufacture of
postal cards. $4,000; Transportation Of for
rign mails, Sl0S,D00; balance due foreign
countries, S25,009.
These increases are stated to be necessary
to meet the present and prospective extension
OF the postal service. In the item of mail
bags and mailbag catchers, the estimates
are sGO,0UO less than the appropriation for
tho present year, and tie item Of locks and
keys is $4,000 less. These reductions, it is
said, arc occasioned by the systematic repair
Of all d fective pouches and bags, and by the
bringing into use of locks which have accu-
mulated in the various postflices through
out the country.
The revenues of the department for the
fiscal year ending June 20, 1880, are esti-
mated at S62, 5CS. G5S, which is an increase Of
81, Sl3, 4S2 over the revenues for the present
year and an increase of $40 1924 over the
estimates for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1882. This will leave an apparent deficiency
for the year ending June 30, 1890, of 81, 4O3,.

Why Monday?

Where so much depends upon order
and accuracy in the management of the
housekeeper, it is not always easy to pro-
portion the work of each day. Too
much is thrown upon Monday and Tues
day. Why not postpone washing till
the latter day. On Monday the house
can be put to rights, bread baked and
desserts made for that day and the next.
That night the table may be laid and
covered with netting used for this pur-
pose alone, the clolhIng put in soak, and
all the materials made ready for break
fast. Where there is but one domestic,
or none at all, the weeks labor is thus
under much Ibetter control. The first
meal should consist of few d shes, and
the dinner may all be previously cooked
save the vegetables. The domestic,
who swept hall, steps and piazza while
the fire was klndling. has only to remove
tbs breakfast things, wash the dishes
and 90 to her laundry work. On
Wednesday she is not over latigued by
the previous days work and there is
time enough 10, keep the house clean
during the remainder of tho week,
finishing up odd jobs on Monday.
Where two or moro girls are kept the
same custom might well prevail, by
which means the COOK will be able to do
all the cooking so that the food may be
as nicely served as usual.-1he Home

EMPEROR WILLIAM'SSPEECH
The German Monarch Opens the
Rcichstag with Words OF Peace.

The German Monarch Opens the
Reichstag with Words OF Peace.
The German Reichstag has re-assembled,
Emperor William opening the session in
person. In his speech he said that the tours
he had recently made had convinced him
that the desire for imperial unity was deeply
rooted in the people. He referred to the in
clusion of Hamburg and Bremen in the
German customs union and to the conclu-
sion of a commercial convention with
Switzerland.
He was gratified to know that trade had
improved, and said that the prospects OF
higher prices for farming produce justified
the hope of an improvement in agriculture.
He emphasized the pacific character Of
Germany's foreign relations and policy, and
said that his visits abroad, which had been
undertaken with view to effecting an un-
derstanding in the interest Of peace, had
caused universal confidence in the main
tenance of peace.
The Emperor made no reference to any
military bills Of credit. and touched but
briefly upon East African affairs
The Emperor's speech meets with general
approval. The pacific tone, strengthened by
the expressed abhorrence Of unnecessary war,
treasures everybody and comes in good time
to allay the alarm which has prevailed
throughout Europe during the last forth ght.
The complete ignoring Of France in the
speech may leave vague feeling of unensi-
ness, which, however, the emphatic allusion
to the allies of Germany is calculated to dis.
sipate.
