A Thriving Institution,

There are now 20S cOnvicts in tie

the largest number ever before CON

filling up institution will soon he far

certain TO send fifteen prisoners

more names soon than at any time
previous in the history of the insti-
tuition.

A Confidence Gume.

There was sneaking fellow at Tia,
circus who was one of the greatest
swindlers In this country. a green
looking Polk county boy purchased
two tickets, one for himself and one
for lady, and he then entered the
canvas and started on through to
the circus, when sharp looking fell
low came walkingupand demanded
one more dollar before he could get
through. This the Polk county
man paid, while other people could
go through after they first purchased
their tickets. II is always said that
suckers will bite and IL looks like il

What II Demonstrated.

There was a big crowd from the
country in Salem and it clearly de-
monstrated the truth Of the oft-re-
peated expression that the country
in the vicinity OF Salem is rapidly
being peopled by newcomers. For
merly on festal days the old settlers
knew every face their eyes met, but
yesterday the pioneers were sur
prised at the large number Of stran-
gers In the city. This is proof posi-
tive that the country is filling up.
The old settler tries to keep abreast
of the times but the march of prog
ress is at n dOuble-quick and he is
left behind and lost among the
strange faces.

The Hungry Brigade.
Sunday Budget.

Hon. John Allen is paying the PEN
atty of his popularity by receiving and
attempting to answer a perfectly
enormous mail this, too, when it. is
known that a large amount of mail
has been forwarded by enthusiastics
and Office seekers to Washington by
reason of Mr.. Aliens mistakably-an-
nounced departure for Washington
by the papers several weeks ago. A
friend of his remarked the other day
that the mail budget, consisting Of
papers containing marked compli-
mentary notices and letters begging
for places, was simply terrific. He
said: at seems to me that every Re-
publican in the blamed Territory is
after something, and it is interesting
to note the characters of these letters.
Some are couched in language very
matter of fact, naming the Office want
ed and demanding it as OF "A right and
no getting-around-it air, just as if the
writer had written it, sealed it, and
slapped it down on the desk with a
bang, as though that matter was en-
tirely settled. Others are less POM
pous and deferential. Others, after q
recital of their party services, ask if it
is possible after all they have done,
their claims can or will be ignored.
Then again come those beseeching and
begging f6r any kind of an Office the
appeal beingA prefaced by the story
that the writer is ON the verge of
starvation on account OF money spent
in the canvas that while it ended so
victoriously for you, would hardly have
been accomplished. in my district at
least, had not given it my entire
and assiduous attention." Mrs. Allen
will not accompany her husband as
has been reported.

Secretaries of States.

There have been thirty-one Secreta
ries of State, but only twentyatwo Pres
idents, ending the count with Cleve
land. In six instances only has the
office of Secretary paved the way oi
the incumbent to the office of Presi
dent. One Secretary became Chief
Justice, and three reached the Office oi
Vice President. Jefferson held the Of
flee of Secretary of State in Washing
tons first term. He also held over
into the second term for about year.
He served four years as Vice Presi-
dent, and reached the highest Office in
seven Years after leaving Washing
tons cabinet. John Marshall was
Secretary of State only nine months.
He vacated the Office to accept that OF
Chief Justice. But before making the
change, he was considered as within
the line Of promotion to the Presiden
cy. But John Marshall Was probably
greater in the Office Of Chief Justice
than he would have been in that of
Chief Magistrate. He was not dis
tinguishcd for executive ability OF a
political kind but he had a judicial
mind and won fame in the Office best
suited to his tastes and requirements.
Three men who succeeded Marshall
in the Office of Secretary OF State be-
came Presidents. These were Madi-
son, Monroe and John Quincy Adams.
Henry Clay did not find the way
Though the Office of Secretary to the
one great Office he desired to fill. But
Martin Van Buren, found that Office
helpful to him, for he went from that
office to that of president and sue
ceeded Jackson rs President.
After that time the Office of Sccre-
tary OF tate lost some OF its potency.
For many years it contributed moth
ing to the further advancement of the
incumbent. John Tyler had no less
than five Secretaries of State. Web
ster was the most notable of these.
But the Office was in no way helpful
to his Presidential aspirations. The
last Secretary who reached the Office
of President was james Buchanan.
Clayton, Seward, Everett, Marcy,
Black, Washburn, Fish, Evarts and
Frelinghuysen were incumbents of the
office for longer or shorter terms, most
of them were more or less prominently
named rs candidates for the highest
office, but none OF these found-the way
to it through the Office of Secretary OF
State. As only six of thirty-one Sec
retaries have ever become President,
the facts initiate against the theory,
formerly held, that it is but single
and sure step from the leading place
in the Cabinet to the Office of Presi-
dent.

Protection Doomed.

A protectionist organ says thu
"the issue in the recent election was
tariff or free trade, and the people de.
cided in favor of tariff"
The issue WAS high tariff for pro-
lection or low tariff for revenue, and
the people decided in favor of low
tariff for revenue by a vote of 1884.
l6S for Cleveland and reform against
only 5,437 ,582 for Harrison and the
Chinese system.
In 1884 the Republican candidate
Was SO distasteful to many Republi-
cans that it was a question of men
rather than Of principles in many of
the controlling States, but the COM
parison of the Garfield and Harrison
campaigns shows that in the eight
years since 1880 the high tax party
has lost ground on it's issue.
Thus, iii Illinois, Cleveland gained
in 1888, 70,95I over the vote of Han
cock; while Harrison gained only 52,-
436 over the vote of Garfield.
In Indiana Cleveland gained So, ,4S7
over Hancock; Harrison only 3l,197
over Garfield.
In Ohio Cleveland gained 1904
over Hancock; Harrison only 4l,OO6
over Garfield.
In New Jersey Cleveland gained 2S,-
936 over Hancock; Harrison only 23,-
7S9 over Garfield.
In New York Cleveland gained lOl,-
454 over Hancock, Harrison only a.
7S4 over Garfield.
In Connecticut Cleveland gained
15,5O3 over Hancock; Harrison only
1911 over Garfield.
In Massachusetts Cleveland gained
40,03O over Hancock; Harrison only
1922 over Garfield.
In Maine itself Harrison polled
nearly a thousand votes less than Gar
field, while in the northwest the DEM
oeratic gain of 1888 over 1880 was
largely in excess OF the Republican
during the same period, the DEM
ocratic gain in Michigan being 80, ,104,
The Republican only SLIT; in Wis
consin, Democratic gain 41,648, Re-
publican 32,156; in Minnesota, DEM
ocratic gain 46,349, Republican gain
AZ, ,456; in Iowa, Democratic gain a.
O32, Republican gain 81 ,694.
There is scarcely State in the
Union, east, west, north or south, in
which Republicanism has held its
own with the increase OF population
since the census year. The growth OF
the country is with the Democratic
party. In spite of its money, its de-
termination to hold the country by
fair means or foul, protection is
doomed. The Democratic party asks
no quarter from it, and the figures
we have quoted show that it needs
to ask none.
