to a certain town are in such Il condition that
farmers can haul only two bales of cotton on one
wagon, and the highways leading to other places

bags of cotton al a load, the farmers will always
travel the good road, even thou III it be several
miles farther to market. Are the roads leading

the business men of every town to seriously con-

town can give an affirmative answer 10 these

The Chicago Tribune, notwithstand.
ing its support of General Harrison,
has been heretofore an advocate of
free trade, and just now, with other
annoyances, it is in trouble because
the charge is made that it has received
support from the Golden Club Of
England. 1t is foolish for it to get
into a pet over so small a matter as
this, in this hot weather. That the
free trade papers on this side of the
water have been paid for their sup.
port of "tariG REFORM" that free
trade Congressman have received con-
tributions towards their election ex-
penses from the Golden Club, and
that lecturers aud political economists
of the David A. Wells stripe have
been compensated for their advocacy
of doctrines injurious to the interests
of their own land, there is abundant
evidence. Englishmen have confessed
that they make contributions toward
political campaigns in the United
States, and contributions for the dis
semination of the Golden school of
literature. Why then make fuss
about it? The American newspapers
that do this sort of dirty Aork for
the English ought to be paid for it.
They ought not to work for the de.
struetion of their own neighbOrs' in
terest without receiving a quid pro
quo. Let the Tribune stand up to
the rack and tell the truth about it.
1t is not the first time, nor the only
time, that English gold has corrupted
an American. That sort of game was
played at West Point as early as the
revolutionary war.-Harrisburg TeLe'

THE Republican State Committee,
which is about to present handsome
banners to Forest and Crawford coun.
ties for polling the largest per cent. of
their Republican vote last year, will
offer a similar inducement this year.
The offer will be so made that the
prize will be within reach of any
county, whether the Republicans are
in minority or majority, and re.
gardless of the size of the county. 1t
is not for the largest vote, but for the
largest per cent. of gain. Forest,
which secured one of the prizes offered
last year, is one Of the smallest coun.
ties in the State, but that did not pre-.
clude its success. The year before
Juniata, another comparatively small
county, stood at the head of the list.
1t is likely that many counties will
this year cast Republican vote in
excess Of that given Blaine four years
ago, and that the prize banner will be
given to that county which shows the
largest per cent. of gain on the Re-
publican vote of 1884. While the
committee has not yet made its offer
formally, the Republicans of the sew.
eral counties should be prepared to
contest for the prize. This is the time
to get ready. PhiIa Press.

No MAN can be the champion of
pole cat without bearing the odor Of
his principal. Senator Voorhees,, in
speech at Terre Haute, last Saturday
night, attacked Gen. Harrison for the
part he took as attorney for Blaine in
libel suit against the editor Of an
Indianapolis newspaper. So great is
the hatred of the democratic leaders
toward Blaine, that in an attempt to
cast reproach on him they would ex.
pose again to public gaze the foul pri.
vate life Of Cleveland though no public
man so much needs the vail of charity
and forgetfulness as he. Gen. Harrison,
from his cradle to mature manhood,
has led pure and blameless life, and
though he compares with Cleveland
as an eagle does with carriOn crow,
the Republicans have been content to
leave personalities out of the cam.
paign; but Senator VOORHEES, and the
other Democratic managers must
know that the supporters of Harrison
will not shrink from an unpleasant
duty forced on them. Cleveland's
wife is not the candidate, neither
Maria or Frances, and he cannot hide
behind her. Petticoats failed to save
another distinguished Democrat, and
history will repeat itself if Grever's
fool friends make it necessary. Mead

THE ZIMMERMAN is published in

ly it is a curiosity in modern trade Jour
nalism. No advertiser can buy line in
its editorial or news pages. That is what
makes il the best advertising medium in
the world. A journal in which every 9TH

Illustrated pun, is absolutely worthless TO
the reader; il is worse than useless, be-
cause it is misleading. The Lumberman
has information 10 sell at the rate of 800
per year for Is or 20 pages per week. 1t
gives more pages of reading matter, out
side of its advertising-the full number
running from 40 TO As pages each week :
than any other journal published at the
same price in the world. They contain
substantially all the lumber news, and the
weekly reviews of the markets south and
west, north and south, are indispensable
to any lumberman who cares to keep post
ed ON current events. Its advertising
pages contain more valuable information
than is given in all the pages of many
lumber journals, so-called. AS a matter
of fact, its advertising pages are of the ut
most value to all users of woodworking
machinery, as they form a complete cata-
logue of the latest and best OF all the
modern devices used in lumber manHiaet-

Mr.. BLAINE puts large truth in
small compass when he says that the
"wages Of the American laborer can
not be reduced except With the con-
sent aud vote of the American laborer
himself" If, as the result of his vote,
the tariff is reduced, and the importa-
tion of foreign made goods is largely
increased, he will have himself to
thank when the alternative is forced
upon his employer either to reduce
wages SO as to meet the competitor OF
these cheaper made goods or to give
up the fight, close up his shop and
turn his employees AdIift.

Mr.. STANLEY:

After a series of reports purporting
to give details of Mr.. StanIey's pro-
gress we'll into October, one of which
represented him as being, on the 7th
of that month, 400 miles from Emin
Pasha and taking half his men on
forced marches" we now have a ru-
NOR that he was safe in Wadelai ar
ly in September. This last story
may seem preposterons, but, as Il
matter Of fact, il is generally believed
now by good authorities that all the
later stories assigning positions to
him in September and October have
been fictitious. 1t is highly probable
that he reached Emin Pa~ha al least
two months ago even though the
vagueneSs of The present newS-the
fist that has come concerning him by
way of Zanzibar-may not entitIe it
to great credence. il is known that
Stanley expected to communicate di-
recily with Emln not later than the
middle of September, although in
this hope he may have bern disap-
pointed.-N. Y. Times % Dec.
, 1888-01-07

At all events, the mounted police,
either through timidity or disafecIion,
when ordered out against other
bodies of Stoves subsequently in
retreat, declined 10 obey orders.
The movement may be purely local,
but il has long been expected, the
late Mr.. Christie, for example, for
twenty years British Minister at Rio,
having predicted many years since,
in the writer's hearing, that unless
white emigration could be largely
and suddenly increased, Brazil would
share the fate Of Hayti. That is
improbable; but the coloured pOpu-
lation is so numerous in proportion
to the whites, and to these half. breeds
who would sympathise with the
whites, that a servile war is never
impossible, and, in Il territory SO
extensive, would be most difficult to
put down. Ii will be observed that

tunity of the Emperor's absence

ANTARCTIC EXPLORATION.

The new scheme for exploring the
Antarctic, which originated in Aus
tralia "a few months ago, and which
the Home Government of Great Bri-
tain was asked to aid by the contri-
buIion of $4,000, or half the eSlima-
ted expense, is me citing with Il great
deal at fnvOur ut the hands of the
scientists of England, and it is
thought probable that Parliament
will vote the money asked for by the
c"Iony. If it does this, however, it
is quite likely that The plans formed
in Australia will be materially chang
ed. The amount which the Home
Government and Australia propose
to appropriate for the exploration
100000, (about O,OO0)- ridi-
culouslY small for the great work
intended TO be accomplished 1t
would scarcely fiji out and provision
one suitable vessel for pursuing re-
searches among the ice packs of the
great Antartic Ocean, and the scheme,
to be successful, should contemplate
at least two ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ships with stores sufficient to provide
against any possible emergency. The
work of exploration in the frigid
zones has been confined in the past
chiefly TO the Arctic Ocean, the solid
wall of ice encountered by the ven
turesotne mariners who have sought
