1t must be borne in mind that this
melancholy history presents only a
very few of the terrible doings of the
sea, compared with the fearful aggre-
gate: if more can be done by enlight-
ened and prudent legislation to reduce
the annual tribute which old Neptune
so remorselessly eXacts, then we
would say let it be done, and that
speedily.

w. w. BLAIR, stOckman of this
city, returned recently from an exten-
ded trip through the states of Missou-
ri, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, New
York and New Jersey, brings very
encouraging reports of the situation
in Pennsylvania, New York and New
Jersey. The mining districts he re-
ports as solid for Harrison and Nor
ton. Nothing else is heard or talked
of but the damaging effect of Cleve-
lands reelection upon the coal and
iron Industries of the nation. In
New Jersey the parties are very even
ly divided, but in the two weeks over
which his observation extended in
that state Mr.. Blair discerned a de-
cided growth of republican sentiment.
This was more manifest among the
more pronounced and emphatic
in favor of the republican candi-
dates, and policy and this is true among
the leaders of the Irish-American
hosts in New York as well as in New
Jersey. 1t is the old men of this class,
those who have voted the straight
democratic ticket for more than a
quarter of a century who speak
strongest upon this question. Irish
republican clubs are multiplying
daily in both these states, and Mr..
Blair says that from indications the
Irish vote in those states, and particu-
larly in the cities of New York, New
Jersey and Newark, will be practically
unanimous for Harrison and Morton.

Pittsburg Commercial Gazette: A
marked feature of the present cam
paign is the active interest taken in
it by the trade papers. The New
York Haberdasher gives a careful
analysis of the bearings of the Mills
bill on the knit-goods industry. It's
conclusion is that for Mr.. Mills to
realize his expectation of reducing the
revenue from knit goods by 800, 900
he must annihilate IS per cent of our
annual production Of $50, 200, 900. 1t
thinks, however, that the most likely
result will be to break up the domes-
tic manufacture of knit goods, and
that instead of 81, go, 900 revenue from
the duties, as at present, there will be
something like 100000. The knit
goods men will probably be heard
from on election day.

was never fought before? If not re-

advocating the reelection of Grover
Cleveland. But as it can not do this
with advantage it has determined not
to intrude itself upon our attention.

estate PRESS" complains that the
San Antonio LIGHT persists in regard
ing the majority report of the deep
water convention at Denver as mimi
cal to the selection of Galveston, as
the port at which a deep water har-
Dor can be secured in the quickest
time and at the least cost, and argues
that the LIGHT is hostile to Calves
ton on this account. The soft inn
parchment will not hold. The LIGHT
certainly does not believe that Calves
ton is the port at which deep water
harbor can be secured and main taiued
quickest, and for the least money, but
it is not hostile to deep water at Gal
weston on that account. San Antonio,
in common with all Texas, outside of
Galveston, has suffered for years on
account of shallow water at Galveston
and would rejoice to see the depth of
water on the Island bar doubled, as
would all the rest of Texas. This
desire, however, cannot bind the in
telligence or warp the judgments of
those who have studied the coast
lines, read the Z. S. engineers reports,
and come honestly to the conclusion
that it will take four times as much
money and time to make deep water
harbOr at Galveston as it will at Aran-
SaS Pass

WHILE democrats in Texas are con-
soling themselves with the hallucin-
alton that Michigan is going republic
can, the republicans of that state are
not only betting two to one on Har-
risOns winning the electoral vote of
Michigan next November, but they
are betting two to one on majorities,
and no takers. Bets offering $1,000 to
81, 900 that Harrison and Morton will
carry the state by 5000 majority, find
no takers. The prospect grows in
creasingly good that Cleveland will
be shut out of every north
ern state. That will be solid north
and solid south with vengeance.
The republican ranks are closing up.
The bids for that street paving
which was announced a month ago
with flourish of trumpets as to be
put down in the immediate sudden,
have not yet been awarded. The at
tempt to award was made Saturday,
but under such conditions as would
puzzle a Philadelphia contractor to
cipher out what was required of him;
while the bids, as to material and
work We're so complicated that
calculator will have to be
to figure out the actual
status of the bids. Bids have been
called for and opened, however, and
for this much long-sutfering city, is
thankful.

THE WESTERN EDGE OF LIFE

Finds many people feeling a lack of strength
and vigor just when they need it most and
they yearn for the life and activity of former
years. When certain age is reached it be-
comes essential that some restorative and
tonic medicine should be taken, even if it
has not been the custom to take anything of
the kind previously. Naturally the machin-
cry of the body has become worn, and it
should be fabricated by some good medicine.
One which will give permanent vigor is bet
ter than stimulant giving only artificial
strength, as it were. Hoods Sarsaparilla is
peculiarly adapted to meet the requirements
of such cases. 1t creates an appetite, and SO
assists in the assimilation of food that the
functions of the body receive its full nutri
emit power. Hoods Sarsaparilla rouses the
liver, kidneys and other organs which have
become torpid and sluggish, it expels impu.
rites from the blood and gives it new vital
ity and richness, and in fact its beneficent
and curative influences extend through the
whole system. Hoods Sarsaparilla is pre-
pared only by 9. I. Hood & Co., Lowell,
Mass. 100 Doses One Dollar.

FIRE was discovered in the mansard
roof of the State Normal School at Terre
Haute, Ind, at little before 8 o'clock
Monday morning. Eight hundred pupils
were in the building at the time, IT'S of
whom were small children in the train
ing school. All got out in safety. All the
efforts of the Fire Department were una
vailing, and in one hour the massive
structure was in ruins. A portion OF the
upper parts of the walls fell. Rain fall
ing at the time prevented the fire, which
burned with uncommon fierceness, from
communicating to the dwellings, sur
rounding the structure. The building
was first occupied in January, 1870. 10
pursuance OF the policy of the State,
there was no insurance on the structure
Its cost was $4,000, of which the city
of Terre Haute gave $4,000 in addition
to the ground.

Germany.-Latest advices from Europe
report that Prince Bismarck has with
drawn his opposition to the betrothal OF
Prince Alexander of Battenberg and
Prin cess Victoria, the daughter OF the
German Emperor, and that the contro-
versy is ended. Empress Victoria and
the Princesses Vicx ria, Sophie and Mar
garet have started for Posen to inquire as
to the condition of the sufferers by the
floods. On the arrival of the Empress at
Lsndsberg, she was received by the mu-
nicipal authorities and other officials.
She thanked them for their devotion and
their work in rescuing those imperiled
by the foods. The Empress arrived at
Posen Monday afternoon. She stopped
at other places beside Landsberg, and
was everywhere greeted with enthusiasm.
The Polish leaders have issued a mani
festo asking the inhabitants of Posen to
sink their national disputes, and unite in
welcoming the Empress. The health of
Emperor Frederick is improving.
