He Did the Handsome Thing.

The republican organs AMI leaders appear
to think they can make party capital out of
Mr.. Cleveland'3 contribution TO the demo-
cratic campaign fund. They pretend to be
greatly shocked 10y it. A number of the
organs indulge in remarks moro or less con-
temptuous concerning the matter, and all
of them are quite parti cular to point out the
alleged inconsistency of advocating civil
service reform, while at the same time con-
tributing to a political campaign fund.
Vice Chairman Clarkson, of the republican
campaign committee, thinks the President
has committed a very serious, if not a
criminal act, and ne is sure no republican
President ever did such thing
This virtuous indignation does not be-
come the esteemed republicans who used to
practice tie stand and deliver policy
among office holders all over the country, and
who are now appealing to their friends, the
monopolists, for money to save the party
from defeat, at the same time giving force
to their appeal by the statements that the
monopolists are the only people who are
benefited by protective tariff, and that if
they don't plank down the cash, the fat will
be fried out of them.
Why should not Mr.. Cleveland help to
pay the legitimate expense of the demo-
cratic campaighs None can doubt that he
is good democrat, and as such he feels an
interest, aside from a personal one, in the
triumph of the party. Does anybody sup
pose great political campaign can be con
Quoted without moneys If can, it is the only
sort of campaign that has no expenses IL
costs something to print and mail the
millions of documents which are being
sent out to enlghten the people upon
the tariff and other questions, and tho
/ clerks in the national committee rooms are
not expected to work for nothing. There
are other legitimate ways in which money
must be spent, and it should be the pleas
ure, as it is the duty, of all good democrats
to contribute as literally as they can to the
| campaign fund. Mr.. Cleveland not only
did right, but he showed his good seuse by
making no concealment of his act The
republican organs won't make any party
capital out of it.

Varroont and Maine.

For some weeks public attention has been
directed to Tie state elections i'll Vermont
and Maine, not because the result was in
doubt, hut because there was good deal OF
curiosity to see if the republicans wo nd
maintain their former majorities. In Yer
mont, on a full vote, the republican ma
jolity was about p 900. thoas in al least
one previous election it reached 3)GoJ.
Names election occurs today, and III that
state, on a full vote the republicans are
pretty sure of a majority Of 2tCN or more.
The majority in 1854 was 1900 for gov
ernor, and %, 0G0 for President. The repuhl-
can candidate is Mr.. BurleiSh, WAC IS
making 10 speeches, but who is working
about as hard as any candidate for govern +
ever did Mr.. William l.. Putnam, mem
Der of the recent fisheries comuuls lon, is
the democratic candida e, and whiie he is
not a magnetic speaker, he is very
effective one In his canvass, he ignored
the fisheries question until he had
fully explained the tariff from demo
cratic standpoint, but when he got INTO
those counties most intere ted IN the fisher
IT,; he ope cd uo on that question in the
liveliest sort of way.
Evidently the republicans are unenSy, for
they are making a tremendous effort 10

of the republican committee, has sent out

Blame has entered to The campaign with

t. hold their own, but there are some indi-
cations that they won't.

Fish Prevent a Lake From Freezing

well-kuown Baptist minister boarded A.
crowded Secood street car yesterday afternoon
and greeted number of his acquantances
saying that he had just returned from Wan
kes1a, vi ere he had been spending his vaca-
ton BY the way" said the reverend gentle
man, ''wnlle there / heard fish story which
may strike you incredulous but which | was
forced to belle Q, coming as it did from a gen
tleman whose veracity had never been doubted
The gentleman at whose place was stopping in
speaking of fishing one day. told me he knew, of
a lake in the vicinity where the fish were so
abundant that when an ordinary plank was
placed in the water the fish were SO crowded
together as to keep the plank on the sur
face SO firmly that it would bear the weight of
several persons and that when even large fat
rocks were thrown into the place they would
not sink
Ominous silence prevailed in the car even
after the minister paused, one venturing an
audible remonStrance. The expounder of truth
evidently warned by the few timidly cast
glances Of incredulity which he observed pass
ing between his listeners, proceeded to explain
how If was that he had been brough to believe
the story He said that during the winter

constantly keeping the water disturbed at that
spot. These spots are known as air holes -

The attempts of republican organs and
leaders to make free traders out of tariff
reforners has been rebuked frequently by
the democrats, but Mr.. Clevelaud's brief re
marks on that subject, in his tariff message,
are about the most impressive that have
been printed. They are as follows: "rhe
question of free trade is absolutely ilrele-
want; aud the persistent claim made in Ger
tain quarters that all efforts to relieve the
people from unjust and unnecessary taxa
ton are schemes of so-called free traders is
mischievous and far removed from any
consideration for the public good

Josie Again.
From the Mem York Sun.


The name of Josephine Mansfield turns up in
the newspapers at regular intervals and with
great variety as to detail. In last week 8 pa
pers she was successiv- Fly described as having
undisputed belle in Saratoga among the gam
b'ers and sporting men, and having turned
ranch owner in the fay west. In point of fact,
Miss Mansfield is still in Paris, where She Is
settled for life. She is not fat, but rather slim in
build, and looks about % years of age, though
she is probably vergiug on 50. She stopped me
once in the ulevard Capucines to show me
slip taken from GdIi0dnt which described her
as dying of starvaIi bon in Arkansas. There were
two men on the box OF the pnaeton, and the
horses were worth about $4,000, Altogether,
anchoy but drifting along in an exceedingly
aIHiable and contented frame of mind in the
French capital The Frenchmen told extraor-
binary stories about her. The escapade which
brought her into notoriety here is exaggerated,
until she is believed to have been the cause of
the late civil war at least.

Peevish, Petulant and Weak.

We are compelled to say that Mr.. Blaine S
article on The Presidents Error is not falr
sample OF llr. Bames productions and will
hardly add to his reputation as a scholar or a
statesman 1t is the peevisA, petulant screed of
a man who snuffs the battle from afar, but is
painfully CONSCIOUS OF his own weakness. 1t not
only lacks the personal magnetism with which
he usually dreaches his oral utterances, pat
also the logical coherency. which is the first
condition of good writing. He is apparently IN
a state of serious mental debility or weariness,
for the brilliant originality which we have
always looked for never IN vain until now, is
consnic1ous for its absence and one Is reminded
of an attempt to press new cider out of dried

Rapging Substitutes.

! The cotton planters are earnestly seeking
! a way to get the better of the bagg'rS
| tru t, and it is to be sincerely hoped they
| will succeed The trust, if it succeeds in
its purpose. will virtually take from them
between 81 800, OO0 and 81, 100000 this sea-
son NJ one of the substitutes, however,
that has yet been suggested can be used by
| the planters with profit. The farmers club
of Wilkes county. in this state, "a few days
ago advised the use of osnaburg as a subst-
tute. A moments consideration, however,
will show that the planters could not adopt
the suggc ton except az loss to the IL
selves
1t requires six yards of jute baggng to
cover bale of cotton satisfactorily Il
2-pound bagging is used it can be obtained
for about Il cents yard. The cost os sutIi-
Gent aging for q bale is, therefore, ~
cents. THIS amount Of bagging weighs -
pouGds, and the planter gets the same price
for il ttat he gets for the cotton which it
covers II tn. price of cotton is 10 cents he
gets for it 81 % From this it appears that
be GEES 36 conts more than he paid for it,
But what is the result when osnaburg is
used OSAdOufS DelllR narrower IMAM Jute
baggio it requires nine yards of it to cover
bale of cotton, and it costs about s cents
yard The cost Of enough of it, therefore,
to cover bale of cotton is 70 cents. II
weighs about hall pound to the yard. An
amount sufficient to cover a bale of cotton
weighs about four pounds and a half. The
amount, the efore. which planter gets for
it when he sells his cotton, assuming that
the cotton brings 10 cents a pound, is 40
cents He gets 81 cents less than he paid
for it. The planter, therefore, who uses
two pounds of bagging at IA cents
yard gots 63 cents bale more for
his cotton than the one who uses osnaburg
at s cents yard. If the above statement
is correct, the planters will have to find
some other substitute than osnaburg
OF course the planter does not, as a mat
ter of fact, get paid for the bagging and
ties which inclose his cotton. In fixing the
price # cotton they are taken into account,
but that question has nothing TO do with
the one discussed above.
