Secretary Whitney's voteFactories in the
NavyYards.

Following closely upon the heels OF
Secretary Endicott's Benet circular
comes Secretary Whitney with his
little circular for partisan purposes.
Not only the arsenals and asylums,
but the navy-yards, also. must be
turned into vote-factories. Every
thing is to be worked for the election
of Cleveland and the success of the
Democratic party. The following is
his notice which was published in
Brooklyn recently:
CERTIFICATE-IN COMPLIANCE WITH
~ an act OF Congress, approved June 30. 1876.
l hereby certify that the needs OF the public
service make it necessary to increase at this
time the force at the navy-yard. Brooklyn, n.
y, for the prosecution OF the work upon the
Iantic Galena. Mlantonomah and Terror. and
for other necessary purposes.
w. c. WHITNEY, Secretary Of the Navy.
Under the act of Congress alluded
20 in this certificate the employment
of extra workers or new men in the
navy-yards sixty days before an elec-
tion is prohibited unless the Secretary
OF the Navy shall make public certit-
cate that an emergency exists requir-
ing the men to be employed, and the
law was passed expressly to prevent
the navy-yards being used for partisan
purposes. 1t is palpable to any one
who is not fool that no such emerg-
ency exists as Secretary Whitney
falsely states in his certificate. There
is no necessity for increasing the work
ing force on these vessels at Brooklyn
during the next two months. Some
of them have lain there for years. and
they will lie there for years yet if a
Democratic Administration continues
in power. "For other necessary pur-
poses" states the only emergency
which exists-namely the stocking of
the yard with heelers and bummers to
help i'll the attempt to re-elect Grover

THIRD PARTY POLICY.
New Light Thrown the Methods Pur-

New Light Thrown ON the Methods Pur-
sued by the Party's Leaders.
1t is /: well-recognizcd fact that in
the Northern States the Prohibition
party draws most of it's votes from the
Republicans, while in the Southern
States whatever strength it has is
mainly drawn from Democratic sour
ces. If the Third party, therefore.
m ade an aggressive campaign in both
Northern and Southern States which
are more or less doubtful, as, for in
stance. in New Jersey and New York
on the one hand and in Virginia and
North Carolina on the other hand, it
would seem to be clear that its leaders
are actuated, us they claim to be, by
zeal for the cause of temperance, and
not by any special hatred of either one
party or the other.
The fact is, however. that the whole
strength of the Third party canvass is
being put this year into the Northern
doubtful States, or those which De-
mocrats think are doubtful while in
the Southern States that Republicans
class as doubtful no canvass at all is
made by the Prohibition managers.
In other words, the Third party is act
ing. in this campaign, simply and
solely for Democratic success. When
we say this we do not mean that the
rank and file of the party are actuated
by any such motive. The majority of
the men who vote the Prohibition
ticket do so from pure if erroneous,
motives But the managers find it
easy to direct the canvass as they
please, and they do please to direct it
as we have said
A confirmation of this view is af-
1orded by an interview recently had
with a Third party leader in Virginia,
and printed in the Harrisonburg Re-
pubNcan. When asked why the Prohi-
bitionists were not active in Virginia
this year, this leader said .'rhe Ma
tional Committee are making special
effort and spending their main strength
in certain States. New York. New Jer-
sey, Connecticut, Indiana, Michigan,
Illinois and Minnesota Our party
wants these States to go Democratic.
You see, if the Republican party loses
those States it loses the election and
goes to pieces. If it succeeds in this
election it regains firm power. Our
hope for 1892, to have any prestige in
that election, is to burst up the Repub-
lican party
You will probably not poll your
full vote in Virginia on that account,
will you?"
"Oh, no. In the North we draw
most of our votes from the Republican
party, while in the South and here it
is the reverse 1t won't do to get too
many votes in Virginia, else the old
State might go Republican.
This interview, which comes from
the editor himself, sufficiently explains
the purposes of the Third party load
ers. incidentally, too, it throws some
light on the recent rain bow chasing
expedition of Colonel Brice, chairman
of the Democratic National Committee,
which was made to just the Western
States named in this Interview as those
in which the Prohi bi.ionsls hope to
draw Off enough Republican votes to
help the Democrats into power.-N. T.

The American with Drawn and brain does
not see the necessity for titles of nobility,
does not care for elevation by descent, be

But with Drawn or brain impaired, man
is badly handicapped in the mad race for
success which is the marked characteristic
Of the present age.
The physical system is most intricate
piece of machinery 1t ought to be kept
well regulated, so that it will work har
moniously in all its parts, then it is capable
of an immense amount Of work.
1t is said that watch, if expected to keep
perfect time, must be wound daily. 1t will
not keep good time unless it "runs regu-
lar" More men break down because they
don't "run regular" than for any other
reason.
1t is claimed by physicians that few men
are killed by hard work. 1t is to the irregu-
lsrities of modern social life that the high
death rate is due. Men burn their candle
at both ends, then wonder why it burns out

The main thing in keeping the human ma
chine in good working order is to keep the

Protect American Labor.

If the people of the United States
should adopt the free-trade idea -
should conclude to purchase abroad
every thing they consume that can
be purchased cheaper than at home,
is it not plain that two-thirds of our
people would have no employment
and. therefore, no money wherewith to
purchase supplies. even though -four
be worth but one dollar per barrel and
beef one cent per pound? And is it
not also plain that to the extent that
we purchase abroad such articles as
can be produced at home Il certain
proportion Of our people must be con-
demned to enforced idleness. and.
therefore, to poverty, ignorance and
degradation.
The people Of the United States. like
the people of all civilized nations. are
compelled to contribute to the support
of Government, and all the male in
habitants of military age are under
obligation to risk their lives in de-
Tense of that government in the event
OF war. Is it not, therefore, both just
and expedient that our own citizens
be preferred in our markets over for
eigners-not merely placed upon an
equality with them? Giving the pref
erence to our own citizens implies no
enmity. no hostility to the people of
other nations, for we recognize the
right OF other nations to prefer their
people over us: and even if we did not
they would exercise that right have
always done SO and always will.-Ohio

TllDEN AND CLEVELAND.
Why MIR. Randall Has Been Slaughtered
by the President.


When Mr.. Tilden was alive he was
the real leader of Democratic opinion.
He impressed his views on Mr. Randall,
Mr.. Converse and other Democratic
leaders, and they are embodied in the
tariff plank of the platform of four
years ago. Because Mr. Cleveland has
made wide departure from that plat
form and the views of Mr. Tilden. MIR.
Converse has decided to support Har-
rison and protection on the stump and
at the polls.
The sole excuse for Mr. Cleveland
departure from the attitude of Tilden
Democracy is the alleged menace of
the surplus revenue. But Mr.. Tilden
foresaw this issue and put his views on
record. To show the wide divergence
of the Tilden and the Cleveland De-
mocracy it is only necessary to COM
pare the following quotations:
