n Lie, of Course.

A dispatch from Was hington
says that crurl report is current
there to the effect that the presi-
dent has informed Senator QUAY
that where an office holder has
made a good, efficient public SER
want he would not be disturbed
until his term of office expired.
Of course this is a lie, otherwise
what about the wholesale dis
charges made in the postal railway
mail service.

ing of the Louisiana State Lottery,
which drew the second capital prize of
500, 600, He placed his ticket with the
Capital State Bank of Jackson for col

OF the prize, $4,000.
Mr. Boos says he has been a regular

permit. His good fortune enabling him

Workingmens wages are higher
in America than in the tariff cursed
nations Of Europe, or in England,
tho greatest manufacturing nation
in the world. Now why is this
1t can not be on account of the tar
if because wages are higher in
England than in Germany. And
more wages are paid because the
work the American does is worth
more. The American is more in
dustrious-that is, he works more
hours in the week than the En-
glishman. He works also to bet er
purpose-that is he produces more
tons of iron, more yards of cloth
per day and so is entitled to more
money. These are facts which ev-
cry man should know who attempts
to write at all on the subject. AS
a matter of fact the hours OF
labor are longer in Germany and
France than in America and longer
in America than in England.
We clip the following statistics
and figures from the Court, r-Jour
nal which was written in reply to
an article in the Evening " iscon-
sin, of Milwaukee, condemning the
low tariff principles of the Courier
Journal.
In the cotton mills of England
in Manchester and East Lancashire
the weeks work in 1880 was 56
hours; in the mills of Massachusetts
in 1851 the weeks work was 60
hours; in France it was 70 hours
in Germany from IS to ~ hours;
in Massachusetts, 60; in Gre at
Britain, Sc; in Huddersfield and in
Deusburg, 81. We trust these fig
ures will enlighten the benighted
editor OF the Wisconsin and teach
him little modesty and courtesy
as well as little sound practical
economy. We close with our in
structlve statement of the product
i've capacity of one operative in the
United States, Great Britain and
Germany, taking 100 as the unit:
United States, 100 in cotton, wool
and dnd silk. In Great Britain 81
in cotton, n in wool, 81 1-2 in
silk. In Germany 81 1-2 in cot
ton, 60 In wool, IS in silk. These
figures are worth bordering.

FLOOD AND FLAME.
The Greatest Horror Of the
Generation.

The most disastrous flood OF the
generation swept down the Allegha.
ney mountains, in Pennsylvania,
last Friday. The details are too
horrible to contemplate. The loss
of life is estimated at about 8 600
of these TOO or 500 were burned
The city of Johnstown is swept en-
tirely from the face of the earth.
The immediate cause of the calami-
ty, as given in the dispatches was
due to the giving way of the reser-
voir at Johnstown. The reservoir
lies about two and a half miles
northeast of Johnstown, ind is the
sight of the old reservoir, which
was one Of the feeders of the Penn
sylvania canal. 1t is the property
OF a number of wealthy gentlemen
in Pittsburg, who formed them
selves into the corporation, the til
tie of which is the South Fork
Fishing and Hunting club. This
sheet of water was formerly known
as Conemaugh lake. It is from
200 to 300 feet above the level OF
Johnstown, being in the mountains.
1t is about three and half miles
long and from a mile to mile and
half in width, and, in some pla-
ces, it is LOO feet in depth. 1t
holds more water than any other
reservoir, natural or artificial, in the
United States. The lake has been
quadrupled in size by artificial
means and was held in check by a
dam 1000 feet wide. 1t is ninety
feet in thickness at the base and the
height is Ito feet. The top has a
breadth of over twenty feet. Rec
ognizing the menace which the lake
had to the region below, the South
Fork Club had the dam inspected
once month by the Pennsyl vania
railroad engineers, and their inves-
LEGATION showed that nothing less
than some CONFUSION of nature
would tear the bearier away and
loosen the weapon of death. The
steady rains of the previous forty
eight hours increased the volume
of water in all the small mountain
streams, which were already swelled
by the lesser rains early in the
week. From the best information
obtained it is evident that some
thing in the nature of cloudburs'
must have been but the culmina-
ton of the struggle of the water
against the EN- baokment.

Our Nect President.


In discuss sing the banquet re-
Gently given EXPIRE sident Cievc-
land by the Young Mems Demo.
cratic Club, of New York, the
Brooklyn Eagle scouts the idea
that it was a preliminary movement
to keep that distinguished demo-
crat statesman before the country
as a presidential possibility. 1t
says: "What three years may bring
TO pass no living man can tell, but
what almost any person of common
sense can see is that it is very much
too soon to venture upon predic-
tions Of what will ha. pen in 1892"
This is all very true, but we pre-
dict, nevertheless, that Grover
Cleveland will b. the democratic
nominee in 1892-and, Furthermore,
that be will be our next president.
He is, undoubtedly, as has been OF
ten remarked before, the most pop
ular man in the United States. Ev.
cry president before him with but
one or two exceptions has sunk into
obscurity g aduslly until finally
their names have been almost en-
tirely forgotten by the masses.
Not so with Grover Cleveland
he Las so endeared himself TO the
people of the country by his honesty
and fairness that his name is en-
shrined in the memory of the PFC
pie so deeply that time can never
erase it. At the same banquet
Gov. Hill had the very bad taste te
make the following remarks:
CAT other times, when extreme
views have unfortu ately been per
mitted to prevail, and unwise action
taken, the democrats of New York
although disappointed, have never
sulked in their tents, and, though
not successful, have Loyalty defend
ed their guns and have done theil
best to stem the tide of adverse
public sentiment; and while keenly
realizing that possibly "sone ont
had blundered, and that defea
probably awaited them in the fierce
contest they were waging, they uni
formly gave forth no sign Of dlscon
tent, but exhibiting the same valol
that characterized the gallan
charge of the Light Brigade, alway'
performed their duty without COM
plant or question.
"Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why.
Theirs but to do-and DIE"
Not only was this IN very bat
taste but It was almost a downrigh
insult to the chief guest of the eve.
n ng; it had no basis of fact to res
upon because it is not true. Gro
yer Cleveland made no blunder-
he acted in every way in everything
he did like an honest statesman
AMI was never SO much one a
when he sent his famous Tariff lie
form message 70 congress. 1t was
that message, without doubt, that e
cured for him a majority of 100, 00(
of the popular vote of the count J
last Novem Der, and would have Sc
cured him majority of the electo
raj votes had it not been for the
deal made by Gov. Hills friends BY
which he was reelected governor by
a plurality of 1911 votes while
Cleveland was defeated by the 49,.
900 plurality which Harrison ie
Celved, and without which he would
not to day be president of the Uni
ted States. Grover Cleveland is
not only possibility but a very
strong probability in 1892.
