This Looks Encouraging.

A dispatch dated Pittsburg, August I, says
simmer shutdown of the flint glass factories
of the country will end next Saturday, and on
Monday there will be general resumption.
Trade is reported better. and as the stocks are
pretty well run down, brisk season is ex-
pected The number of factories to resume
is one hundred and twenty, employing over
6,000 men. The window glass factories, which
have also been closed down since June list,
will start up about the LIST of September. giving
employment to about 10000 men.
Republican papers have teemed with ac-
counts of the shutting down of manufactures,
as consequence of the tariff tinkering" of
the Mills bill. How comes it that the Pitts
burg glass factories are exemptions from the
ruin of the Mills bill, if these reports of rpin
be true? And how comes it that the Repub-
liean Senators have taken to ''tinkering the
tariff themselves, if such tiukeringis so pro
ductve of mischief 10 manufacturers as the
Republicans allege? The fact is, the Repub-
licans do not believe their own representations,
and the prosperity of the Pittsburg glass fac
tories is direct contradiction of their false
statements This trick Of closing factories is
as old as tariff amendment, and is part of the
Republican campaigning now, as it was of
Wing campaigning in the days Of Henry Clay.

One source of campaign capital is lost to
the Republicans this year. Ever since the war,
and until the present time, they have been
telling the colored voters that if the Demo
Gratis were in power they would be put back
into slavery. They have discovered that they
are faring as well under Democratic rule as
they did under Republican, and that when
Republican missionaries went among them,
with such utteranees, they deliberately mis-
represented the Democratic party for the pur-
pose of deceiving and misleading the colored
men, How often have the colored people
heard that story? Four years ago they were
terribly excited over it. But they have dis.
covered that it was only trick TO play upon
their fears and to get their votes. They have
discovered also that the Democrats are quite
as friendly towards them and as willing to do
them service as the Republicans who pay
them such marked attention, about election

HIS GUN WAS LOADED.
How Senator German Got Ahead of Ser
afOr HORr-

A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Washington, D. c., August 8, says
Many people have wondered why Senator
German in his recent speech il the Senate or
the Canadian Pacific Railroad investigation
mentioned the name of Congressman Scott
the Pennsylvania Democratic leader, as one
of the directors of that road in connection
with Levi P. Morton, the Republican candi-
date for Vice President. The reason given
is this: The Republicans in discussing the
fisheries treaty seemed to be making consid-
cradle capital out of their side of the contro-
versy, and to be convincing some persons
that the Democratic party was inclined to
favor Canadians as against the New England
fisherman. Senator Hoar was also prepared
to deliver long speech, in which he would
show that Calvin s. Brice and W. i. Scott,
the two Democratic leaders who are in con-
troll of the Cleveland and Thurman campaign,
are connected with Canadian railroads. Sen
ator German obtained the floor in advance of
the Massachusetts Senator, and anticipated
his assault by not only admitting that Mr..
Scott, as private citizen and not candi-
date for any national Office, was interested in
the road, but to the surprise and dismay of
many Republicans throughout the land also,
showing that Mr. Morton, one of the Repub-
lioan standard bearers, was director in the
road. In spite of the announcement which
comes from Montreal today, that Mr.. Morton's
resignation as u direetor in the Canadian
Pacific has been accepted, it Is asserted on
good authority that Mr., Morton still retains
his interest in the road. In order to get at
the Morton incident Senator German was
obliged to read the names of the American
directors, and he would have been liable to
criticism had he omitted Mr.. SCOTS name.
Mr.. Morton was the big game the Maryland
Senator was after, and it appears that his gun
was loaded with ball cartridge and his aim
true. Certain persons are trying to make it
appear that he took special delight in drag
ging Mr.. Scott into the subject. His real OBJ
ject was to show the country the kind of man
whom the Republicans had chosen to 60 on
the "0nly American ticket,

This country is made the dumping ground
for the offscourings of the whole earth. All

their way to the United States, and the coun-

Italians, Chinese, and all other nationalties,

and their presence in the larger cities. is a
scourge and curse. There are fifty thou
sand Chinese in San Francisco alone, and
other cities are filling up with them. 1t was
stated a few days ago, that there are ten
thousand Italians in the city of New York out
of employment. How they live is mystery.

President cleveland's Letter.

The Baltimore Daily Ne,os, of Tuesday,
makes the following allusion to the coming
letter of acceptance of President Cleveland !:
Various are the surmises INDUCED over the long
delay of the Presidential candidates to hand in
their formal Letters of acceptance. It is custom
halowed by long usage for a nominee for the Pres-
dency to put himself on personal record by formal
written declaration in the nature of an official
acceptance. The custom is to send q committee to
wait upon him after the nomination has been made
aud obtain an informal acceptance and then he is
expected to spread himself in a formal letter. Mr.
Cleveland having been nominated first it is expect
ed, of course, that he will first communicate with
his party and then be followed by his antagonist
i'll the same line. For this formal acceptance the
country now waits. The Democrats expect il and
the Republicans are growing openly impatient over
it. They want Mr.. Cleveland on record they say.
and the sooner his letter comes the quicker will
they go for ii 10 tear it to pieces.
And so the Republicans particularly are waiting
for Mr.. Cleveland's letter because they think Il
would be useful 70 them. But when it does come,
Hey lcH not tgdnt so much! For Cleveland is keen
political observer and he knows that the Blaine
demonstration will, if uninterrupted, hold popular
attention for days. and he is saving that letter
the purpose of breaking into the political hosannas
and drawing attention from the Republican idol
and the faith he represents
The President is q keen observer and long head
ed politician as witness his success and the ease
with which he secured a denomination He is look
ing ahead now. He has saved that letter of accep-
lance to this time and he knows that it would be
shrewd politics for his party to break in on the
Republican jubilee and distraet attention from it
Hence that letter will be the Democratic trick and
ii will divert much attention from the Blaine hur-
rah. The press will discuss what the President
says as much as, if not more than, it will Mr.
Blaine's utterances and hence the force and the
principal object of the demonstration will be dimin-
ished and defeated TO that extent.

During the past two or thpee months the
Baltimore SIN has had interesting letters from
all the seaside and mountain resorts. They
were written in an entertaining and chatty style,
and gave an epitome of the every day life at
those places. The letters from West Virginia
were read with great zest, and they showed
what rapid advances are being made in that
State. The stay-at-homes were kept posted
as to what their more fortunate neighbors
we're doing and how they enjoyed themselves.
Best of all, the letters were not written to
please the proprietors of the various resorts
but were truthful deIiniations.

1.-TWO weeks have passed since President
Cleveland was pilloried in The Tribune and
Extra No. 100 as the ''Tattooed Man. and
no Democratic organ has yet undertaken to
defend him. Is the case so hopeless that not
even pettifogging editor is willing to look at
it?-N Y. Tribune, Aug. 6.
1t was so disgraceful and shamefully false,
that no Democrat paid the slightest attention
to it, and very many decent Republicans were
disguised. The people are engaged in cam
paign based on principle, and mud throwing
and falsehood will not count this year. The
Tribune will try in vain to inaugurate that
sort of campaign.

The American Party will meet in National
Convention in Washington on the l4th instant.
Ninety per cent of this new organization are
Republicans. If they put Presidential candi-
dates in the field, 1t will make the defeat of
Mr. Harrison doubly sure. There is division
among them on this point, some fayoring a
ticket and others opposing it. The persons
spoken of as candidates are j. S. Negley, of
Pittsburg; Elk Mayor Low, of Brooklyn; and

Although the elections in Kentucky on
Monday were merely for local offices, the
tariff was made the issue, and great gains were
made by the Democrats. Christian county,
which has been Republican ever since the
war, and that gave Republican majority of
1900, went Democratic by about 500. In
Mason county the Democrats gained 800.
The result in the state shows that the Demo
Gratis will make clean sweep in November,
and the three Republican congressman from
that state will be replaced by three Demo-
Gratis

Here is another puzzling conundrum put by
the N. Y. Star, in relation to the Mills bill
and the Republican Senate bill. Ifany inter-
ference with the tariff be free trade, how can
that which is called by the Republicans Stree
trade' in the House, become protection to
American industry merely because it is pro-
posed in the Senate?

How It Is in Indiana.

Randolph county, Indiana, to a relative in
this city, says:
81 will give you some points on politics. My pre-
dictions are that Cleveland has reelected himself
by his message on the tariff. He was very cordially
received in the West and the South while travelling
through On the other hand. Harrison is not very
popular in his own state. He is entirely too arsto-
cratic In ordinary civil walks of life he would not
countenance a laboring man. He would not soil
his hands with them. as he always wears his kid
gloves; consequently he is called kid Glove" Har-
Then his Chinese record is decidedly against HIM.
He tried deny it, but his vote shows how he stood
on that question while in the Senate Now the
reason they nominated Morton for second place is
because he has the money. Well they are going to
spend more money in this state than ever before,
but it will do them no good. Indiana is safe for
II 900 for Cleveland.
