POLITICAL NOTES.

In less one week occurs the great
American ballot boxing match.
In all the doubtful States the regitra-
tion Is unprecedented, indicating an
extraordinarily heavy vote.
FOLLOWING on the heels of his defeat,
st. Paul will probably send the Presi-
dent an invitation to visit her ice palace
the coming winter.
SPEAKER CARLISLE says the political
situation in New York is so complica-
ted as to confuse his brain. So he turns
wearily away from the subject and talks
Of the tariff.
THE utter confusion of the Democrat
ic factions in New York City is spec
tacie of retributive justice. 1t is evOlu-
tion from the frauds that elected Cleve-
land.
In the Republican States protection
and industrial assemblies and singing
clubs are keeping the ball rolling. In
the Democratic States shotgun cluls
and Winchester rifle committees" are
holding night rallies.
THE Workman, a labor organ of
Cleveland, Ohio, falling to get what ii
asked from the Western Reserve Pro-
tective Tariff League, viz: $3.50 a week,
for its service, Immediately sold itself
out to the Democrats; price not yet
made public.
THE Republican campaign in Oalifor-
mia has not been very well managed,
and the Democrats are admirably or
ganized, but the feeling among the peo-
pie is so strong for protection that it is
thought the State is safely Republican
by from 5000 to 10000 majority.
THE First District of Mississippi has
about $4,000 votes, and Rpublican
majority. But through the shotgun pol
icy in the last election John Nj. Allen
received 6, 140 votes against 27l Repub-
lican, and is a Congressman. Mr.. Allen
is making Democratic free trade speech
es at the East, taking the place of Chair
man Mills, who is sick.

NEGROES AND ALLIGATORs.

| A gentleman informs the AmericuS
(Ga.) Republican that a few days ago half
a dozen negro men down at MuckaIee,
about a dozen miles or more from the
city, concluded to catch an alligator that
has feasted on the pigs of that section
for years. They made stout hook, hung
it to a rope and attached live pig to 1t
and hung it to one of the negroes. The
pig was placed near the alligator's slide,
and pretty soon it began to squeal. The
gator went for it with his mouth open,
and as soon as his huge jaws caught the
| pig firmly the darkey, with the rope
around his waist started to run as hard
as he could clip it. The negro got the
end of the rope and instead of drawing
the saurian after him he went back with
a jerk that carried him nearly into the
alligator's jaws, while that huge beast
had the hook drawn clear through his
jaw and firmly clinched around the bone.
The gator made for the creek, which was
pretty deep here, and the negro began to
yell and clutch at any object in his reach
to keep from being dragged in. The rest
of the negroes ran in yelling,a and clutch
ed at the rope. Their noise frightened
the monster of the mud, and he exerted
his strength and pulled the whole squad
into the water.
Then there was fun. Water, mud,
negroes and alligator were all mixed up
in inextricable confusion. The negro
with the rope around his body Jared the
worst. He was nearly cut in two, lost
his breath, and was drawn around by the
alligator and his companions at will.
One darkey had half-swipe from the
gators tail that knocked him against
the bank of the creek head foremost,
where he stuck until one of his friends
pulled him out and washed the mud out
of his, eyes and mouth. At last one of
the negroes cut at the gator with an ak,
cut the rope, and the monster made the
water boil as he went down the stream.
The negro who had the rope around his
body, just as soon as he could get breath
enough, said: "Dar, nowI Dat damn
fool dun let my alligator loose after 1
kOtch i'm. Some niggers amt got no
sense no howl" and if the gator hadn't
got away he would have been killed,an
the negro too.

IF the products of American shops
must compete in the American market
without favoring duties, with the prod
ucts of cheap foreign labor, the effect
will be different, if at all, only in degree
whether the cheap laborer is across the
street or over the sea. Such competition
will soon reduce wages here to the Level
of those abroad, and when that condi-
tion is reached we will not need any
laws forbidding the importation of la
borers under contract-they will have
no inducement to come, and the en-
ployer no inducement to send for them

ANIRREPRESSIBLE DARKY.

AN IRREPRESSIBLE DARKY.
Edtorss Drawer, in Harpers Magazine for No
vember.
Mr.. Smith, of Virginia, has a valet
whose eccentricitieS afford him material
for some successful annecdOtes. Jim,
who is of that shade known as "bright
mulattO," has black silken curls and a
smile that render him the delight and
torment of all the waller gals" of the
city, and his temper is rs sunny as day
in June. 1t is Mr.. Smiths invariable
habit to discharge his valet once week
in futile endeavor to persuade Jim that
he does not own his master body and
soul; but as the amiable African sweet
! ly ignores all such ebullitionS, and al
ways returns the next morning, placidly
unconscious of any unpleaSantnsss, the
habit serves only as relief to his mas
ters overcharged feelings. On one oc-
casion he carried jim down into unfa-
miliar wilds in Georgia and purposely
| lost him, after the fashion in which one
rids ones self of obnoxious cats, and for
two weeks after his return reveiled in his
freedom. At the end of that time, in
answer to his bell one morning, Jim put
his head in the door, and asked, in his
usual tone, "Mis' Sniff, did you ring fer
me?" and then his master resigned him
self to his obvious destiny. His only
consolation is that repetition of Jim's
sayings sometimes helps him over shoals
of silence at a stupid dinner party. Here
are two Of them:
One morning, jim having been in
structed to rouse Smith at a certain hour,
woke him with exclaiming, "LawI Mis-
Sniff, done he'd such bad luck dis
mawnin! done clean fergot ter wake
you up time you tole me-"
Smith groaned. "Jim, you are too
trifling to live. wish you would die
I'll never get rid of you in any other
way"
The darkey set about his duties with
out resentment, and said, cOntemplatiye-
ly, few moments later, with an evil
dent desire to be Obliging, II don't mind
dyin', Mis- Sniff; it's stayin' dead so
longs what henderS me-"
Jim and young African companion
were one day fishing from the wharves.
His friend missed his footing, fell into
the water, and was drowned. Jim's grief
was so uproariOus that sympathetic
by-stander inquired if the drowned boy
was relation. NO" said Jim, through
his tears; she warn't no relation, but he
mOut's well been he had all de bait"

THERE never was such a state CT ab-
jectness and alarm among Government
employees as at this moment. A man or
woman who was suspected of being on
the side of the Nation during the war,
and is now in the National service is
terrorized. This is Democratic civil
service reform. In other words, it is
partisan despotism and tyranny, and the
most odious shape of servitude.

TIE ng-loOked for report of the SCI
entific commission which investigated
the great volcanic eruption of KrakatOa
in 1888 has at last made its appearance,
and it seems strongly to confirm the the
ory that the famous "red sunsets" of
that time were caused by the canopy of
dust and steam thrown up by that tre-
mendOus cOnvulsion of nature. So
great was the explosion of the burning
mountain that the noise was heard over
One-thirteenth of the total surface of
the earth. At Batavia, thirty miles
away, buildings were wrecked by< the
conclusion. In Ceylon, two thousand
miles away, sound as of heavy guns
was heard. At Rodriguez, nearly three
thousand miles away, it was distinctly
heard, like the roar of distant artillery.
The sea wave caused by the upheaval
was perceived as far away as the English
Channel, while a great atmospheric
wave swept three times from KrakatOa
to the antipodes and back again. Fully
one and one eighth cubic miles of rock
were hurled into the air, some fragments
reaching height of thirty-One miles,
while an intellectually vast cloud of dust
and vapor filled the air at height of
from seventeen to twenty three miles.
1t is not difficult to believe that enough
of this dust and vapor was waited to
this side of the world to produce the
beautiful phenomena that were the
wonder and delight of every observer of
the sunsets.
