Big Fight i'm Virginia.

Virginia gave Cleveland a major
ity of GAL in 1884, and only 1889
in 1888. The majority last year
was only secured by closing the
polls In some counties while hun
dreds of voters were still in line
waiting an opportunity to cast their
ballots, the voting facilities having
been made purposely insufficient In
order to stife the Republican vote.
The Democratic majority on the
election Of members of the Legis-
lature in 1887 was only 426. These
meager majorities were obtained
while the Republican factions were
each other with great bit
terness. In view of the complete
of harmony in the Re-
publican ranks it seems a foregone
conclusion that Virginia will go
Republican in November Cleve-
land Leader.

Letters to Madison Stolen.

MADISON, Wis, Aug. 23.-There is
crookedness going on to quite an extern
sive degree in the postal service be-
tween here and Milwaukee, to which
attention has been attracted during
the past few days by inquiries made by
parties here regarding letters that new
er came Discrepancies were first no
ticed here about ten days ago, and
since that time complaints have in
creased to an alarming extent. The
first to make investigation were the To-
cal banks and larger business houses,
which had missed remittances from
Milwaukee. This brought out several
other developments of the same char
acter, until it has now been proved be-
yond doubt that some one is syste-
matically robbing the mails. The en-
tire trouble so far discovered has been
with letters from Madison to Milwau-
kee, and every day fresh complaints
are received at the local postoffice.
Most of the letters missed have con-
tanned remittances, mostly in the form
of checks and drafts, although some
have contained nothing of value. The
postoffice authorities here profess ig-
nOrance of any clue.

SENATOR PRATT, of Connecticut,
has scheme ON which, as Chair
man of the state committee on Ter
ritories, he is at work with hopes of
success. Heproposes to transfer en-
tire the population Of bleak and in
hospitable Ireland to Alaska. and
the plan is one that will excite the
interest of the civilized world. It
recalls to the imagination Of The
Boston Globe an ancient movement
Of the Aryans from the vast plains
of Central Asia along the natural
line Of travel into Europe and down
to the Mediterranean peninsulas.
Of course the Danish government
would be expected to acquiesce in
scheme of such Importance to it
self as well as it's subjects, and the
negotiations to that end will yet
have to be undertaken. The con-
sent Of the Irish people them
selves is presumed to have been al
ready attained. They are said to
number $4,000, and at the most to
have counted a round 100000. The
proposition is to remove them in a
body to the Yukon Valley, in Alas
ka, where they will enjoy increased
opportunities to secure a comforta-
BILE living, while remaining in eli
mate to which they are adapted.

1t seems generally understood
that John Plankinton, of Milwau-
kee, will in all probability remain
permanently disabled from the eff
fects of the stroke Of paralysis
which he sustained some time ago.
In an interview with P.D. Armour,
of Chicago, day or two since, he
remarked that he found it almost
impossible to carry on conversation
with Mr.. Plankinton the last time
he visited Milwaukee, on account
of the latter's difficulty in speech.
Notwithstanding Mr., Plankinton' S
bodily infrmity, his will powerre-
mains as indomitable as ever, and
he will doubtless continue to guide
and direct the numerous business
enterprises which he has In hand
SO long as his vital forces hold out.

A Warm Endorsement of General
James "a. Wilson of Delaware.
New York Sun, Thursday.
For nearly thirty years now the states
men OF Delaware, who have been noted
in Federal affairs, have been Democrats.
The last non. Democratic citizen OF that
State who held o place in Presidents
cabinet was John NJ. Clayton, who was
Secretary of State to President Taylor.
He was remarkable man, and it was
from him that Mpjor Poussin, the French
minister, got his letter of Dismissal The
transaction was much more prompt than
that OF Mr.. Cleveland with Lord Sack
Vile; and 1t was entirely the act Of Secre-
tary Clayton, for President Taylor gave
far more freedom of action 10 the mem.
bers of his cabinet than President Oleve-
land has done to his.
Now we have q Republican senator
from Delaware; and II would not be
strange if President Harrison should look
around for member of his cabinet from
the same State. 1t is an interesting cir
cumstance, too, that at the present time
Delaware happens TO count among her
population the one Republican who, of
all those in the country, is best qualified
TO be secretary of war. We speak of
General James Morrison Wilson, the
brilliant cavalry commander Of Thomas
army, and the captor of Jefferson Davis.
President Harrison cannot find anywhere
another MAN who ia better prepared in
point of knowledge, ability, and expert
encs to conduct the affairs OF the war
office.
