What it Would Mean.

An able writer in the Irish World says:
The reelection of Cleveland must be regarded
as an unmitigated disaster, for it will place
the Solid South in command of the United
States for many future presidential terms.
1t would give the confederate conspirators
time to mature their plans.
They have man who is most willing in
strument in their hands.
Combined with the confederacy are the
English represented by the Golden Club.
The same combination existed before and
during the Civil war.
IfCleveland be re- elected the interests of
the North will be subordinated to those of
the South.
This is foreshadowed in the Mills tariff
bill.
The e1-brigadiers regretted that under
buchanan they were SO foolish as to neglect
to adopt Free Trade, as this would have eff
fectually crippled the northern states
With the aid of the northern votes they
hope to destroy the North in 1883.
They hope to reduce the rate of wages all
over America to the standard of England or
the states below Mason-Dixon's Line
If Cleveland be reelected slavery will be in
reality, though not in form, established
How CAN'T bedone is explained by glance
at the state of labor in Queensland, an Eng
lish colony and England the great hypocriti-
cal champion of freedom
Labor contracts for a year at fixed
wage, and prison or the whipping port for
violation of contract are it's basis. 1t is no
imaginary danger.
Cleveland is for Cleveland first, for the con-
federacy next, for England third, and not at
all for the loyal Earth.
His letter has not explained why he
changed his mind and insisted on having al
second term =
1t does not tell us why his civil service re-
form was all fraud and failure
He does not explain why trusts and mon
opolies flourish under his admistration
He cannot point to a single successful act
of his administration
Judged by this record he is a conspicuous
failure, and Judged by his letters he expects
to win solely through his ability to BAN
boozle the American people.

The Summer Hotel Widow.
From the. Philadelphia Times.

From the. Phlladelphla Times.
If any one who has travelled much m
the summer has encountered a fashion
able summer resort hotel without its
widow 1T is very exceptional. The wild
ow is, inevitable to, the surroundings.
She is always. interesting, generally has
fine eyes. and dresses well and wears di-
amends. But it is her manner, as q
rule, that Is most attractive. In nine
cases out of ten she has little girl to
whose early retirement to the arms Of
Morpheus, Is her greatest anxiety, or
rather one of her greatest, for she seems
anxious sometimes if left alone even af-
ter relieved of this annoyance. Her
manner is usually brilliant and ELUSIVE
and almost always insures her the no
tice and attention of gentlemen. She
does things, as matter Of course, that
the young unmarried ladies are forbid
den by their mothers to do, and the
mothers have hard time explaining to
the daughters why what is, right for the
widow is wrong for them. The moth
ers take revenge very often by misrep-.
resenting the widow and telling the
daughters to have nothing to do with
her. But the widow has a good time
and very often the unmarried girls don't.
Still, according to her oMn standards.
she keeps within bounds. and no matter
how hardly pressed is generally mistress
OF the situation. This is the gay young
widow. OF course there are others who
are saints in department.,

Tho Truth.

The Democratic free trade organs are en-
deavoring to dispute the authenticity of the
following extract:
Grover Cleveland has done more to adj
vance the cause of free trade than any Prime
Minister of England has ever done.-London
Spectator.
But the Hartford Courant sits down on
the effort in the following solid fashion,
Why, bless your ignorant eyes, the Courant
copied that from the Spectator itself as soon
asit appeared and set it going but we've got
the copy of the Spectator still in the office.
There's no conceivable doubt of it's genuine
ness-or it's truth either.
But the Democratic organs, and especially
the Brice Bureau of Intellect, are even dis
putting the tremendous Republican victory
in Maine, where, excepting few scattering
members of the Maine House, the Republicans
swept the political platter clean with ma
iority more than 5000 above the average
for a series of years.

Passage Of the Chippewa Bill.

The bill for the civilization of the Chippewa
Indians in Minnesota passed the senate
Oct. TO- This is the senate substitute
for the Nelson house bill which is to take the
place of the agreements negotiated by the
Northwestern Indian commission. The sem
ate substitute does not differ greatly from
the house bill except in the matter
of allotment of lands to the Indians
the senate substitute in this particular
follows the severalty law. The bill as pass
ed by the senate requires the secre-
tary of the interior within sixty days after
the passage Of the act to appoint three COM
missioners, one of whom shall be citizen of
the State of Minnesota, to negotiate with
the different bands of Chippewa Indians in
the state for the complete session and relin-
punishment in writing of all their title and
interest to all reservations in Minnesota ex-
cept the White Earth and Red Lake reserya-
tons, and to SO much of these reservations as
is not necess airy in the judgement of the COM
mission, the commissioners to give bond in
$4,000, and to receive $40 per day COM
pensation and So per day travelling expenses
AS soon as the ACCOMPLISHMENTS have been
secured, all Indians except those on Red Lake
reservation are to beremoyed to White Earth
reservation, and those on the Red Lake res
ervation are to be allotted lands in seyeralty
as are the Indians on the White Earth reserva-
ton. The remaining lands in the reservations
are then to be surveyed into acres lots and
the timber on each one it to be thoroughly
examined by competent examiners and q
valuation placed on each tract. Such yalua-
ton shall not be at a rate of less than So per
1000 feet, however. The appraisals are to
be submitted to the secretary of the interior
Tor approval or rejection, and, if rejected by
him, a new appraisal shall be ordered. Pro-
vision is also made for the disposal of the
pine lands, and agricultural lands are to be
entered under the homestead laws at $1.25
per ncre.

The Sea Serpent Described,

A dispatch from Charleston, S. c.,
September 26, says: Capt. Hubbard,
of the steamer Planter, plying be-
tween Charleston and Georgetown,
reports that the sea serpent was seen
in Georgetown Harbor recently, half
way between the port and bar. The.
tug Henry Buck passed within 200
yards of the monster, and the cap
tain examined it carefully with his
glass. He says he made out nearly
it's entire shape. It seemed to be
resting or sleeping, the head and
body being more or less exposed to
view as the waves rose and fell about
it. The mouth appeared to be beak
shaped, the head oval and quite large.
The body looked to be as thick as a.
flour barrel, and lay upon and in the
water in the curves common to
snakes while swimming. The tail
was not at first entirely visible.
While looking intently at the mon
ster, something possibly the noise Of
the tug seemed to arouse it, and in
an instant it threw it's tail into the
air, exposing fully 15 feet ofitslength.
and dashed the water into foam. tt
swan off in the direction Of what is
known as Muddy Bay and the mud
flats, where it was impossible for the
tug to follow. The color of the mon
ster was very dark. The length is
stated to be about SO feet. That
portion of the tail lifted above the
water was between 8 and 10 inches
in diameter. At thepoint where it was
seen the water is fresh for several
miles below, and Capt. Springs thinks
the animal was made sick by it. It
is thought that the monster cannot
get out of the harbor.
AS soon as the news was received
an expedition was made up to go in
search oft, and it is possible that
the sea serpent problem may yet be
definitely solved. The monster was
seen by the crews of both the tug
and the schooner she was towing, the
latter being bound for New York.

An Insult Resented.

Des Moines Register: That little dramatic
incident at Marshalltown, where an old Grip
pied veteran promptly resented q democratic
insult, has aroused the old fire in the old
soldiers hearts. 1t is not surprising to learn
that the man who would sneeringly refer to
disabled union soldiers as odd paupers''
was copperhead during the war, nor is it
surprising that such scurrilous and abusive
language should be used when democratic
administration sets the example of insulting
the memory of union soldiers Commander
Consistency, who stands at the head of the
G. A. R. in Iowa, has promptly rendered his
congratulations, and proposed to appoint
the old veteran, if member of the g. A. r.,
to a position on his staff. 1t is too soon
after the hardships and sufferings of the war
for cowardly copperheads to insult with inn
punity the veterans who were disabled in
fighting for the union. Every man with q
drop of red blood in his veins will cheer the
old hero who smashed his cane over the head
Of the politician who insulted him.

point. Wool, lumber, salt and other leading
articles OF domestic industry which Mr.. Mills
and his friends put on the free list are either
untouched by the republican measure or
touched but slightly The articles from
which the senate strikes of all duties are
generally those not produced in this country
at all or produced in yesy small quantities.
The reduction in the governments revenue

The Carpenter and the Parrot.

''The tariff is tax. screamed the Bowery
parrot. "a
"a tax, said carpenter who was merrily
working with plane and saw; why, how on
earth can that be?"
''The tariff is a tax" was the only response
"Now, look ye> here, you stupid bird, )" said
the carpenter, 'stake this plane, for example,
and see by a picture in Harper's Weekly
that the tariff taxes me on this, and also on
this saw. It ain t true because l happen to
know that the price ofjackplanes in free trade
England is SIS per dozen, and the price in
the United States is only 5000 per dozen.
And l also know that common hand saws
are selling to-day in England at So per doz-

the tax come in?'' And then the carpenter
proceeded with his work.
Nothing daunted by this, the parrot
squeaked: ''The tariff is tax-New York

The October Crop Report.

The October government crop returns show
that the condition of the present corn crop
has been equaled only three times in ten
years, and is extended materially only by
that of 1879, when the condition was .9S,
and the subsequent aseertained yield was
twenty-eight bushels. The present average
of condition is 90, against 942 in Septem.
ber There has been no decline in the North
west, and the status of the great corn
surplus states remains as on Sept. /.
The Indications favor result ranging
little from twenty-six bushels per acre, max
ing a full average. The condition of buck
wheat has declined heavily from 93.7 last
month, to 79.l, mainly from frosts. The
average condition of the potato crop is bout
ST, decline of less than four points. Tobacco
has fully maintained the condition OF last
month, averaging for all kinds SS.3. The
returns relative to wheat are those of yield
per acre, by counties. AS consolidated the
general average for winter wheat is II bush
els per acre, and for spring wheat slightly
over 10 bushels The former has yielded bet
ter than the early e9pcctation-the latter
much worse. This is of course in measured
bushels The quality is much below the av-
erage, which will still further reduce the sup
ply, as will be shown more exactly hereafter
