Assistant Secretary Spaulding has writ
ten to the Collector Of Customs al san
Francisco i'm regard To certain steer
rails now I'm bonded warehouses Whicn
have been withheld from sale from time
49, tinc m tbe request Of the Oregon
Pacific Railroad company. II is under
stood that the railway company IN
tends To withdraw the rails and pay the
duties thereon in short time, and the
question arises as 20 whether they are
dutiable under the old or new tarih
law. Gen. Spaulding says that aS the
duties regular and additional had ac'
crued on the rails before the passage oil
the act Of October /, 1890, and as the
rails remained I'm bond merely by sur
ferance and not legally, they do not
come within that purview of section q
of the act of October 1. 1890, and ar
therefore dutIable under the old law.

Special correspondence OF me HegiSftf.
WINFIELD, w. VA, October 91.-ThC
Republicans of this county made the
''grandeSt effort of their lives" to get
out Il crowd TO hear their little deity
speak HIS piece last Saturday. Leaving
out the bands Of music, who were paid
to come, and the leaders, whose duty
made their presence imperatlvely neceS
Sary, and eliminating the Democrats and
ladies, there were not $50 Republican
visitors in town at any time during the
day, at a very liberal estimate, and per.
haps not a dozen of them lived beyond q
radius of ten miles from the town. A:
a political demonstration it was the
most stupendous failure of the cam
paign, and the local party managers arc
feeling very sore over 1t.
The fact is. Golf is no longer draw
ing card in this Valley, and the doc
trine he breaches is not acceptable tC
our people, who are mainly agricultur-
lists. COTS treatment of Col. James i.
Mclean i'm the State Convention two
years ago has not and never will be for
gotten by the Republicans of this
county. The Colonel sat in his Office,
within ear-shot of the speakers stand,
all day, taking no part in the proceed,
ingS, nor showing the distinguished
speaker the courtesy of recognition.
Another cause of the failure is the
fact that the committee in charge failed
TO recognize that element in our lOca
politics which has given the Republic
cans of this county every office they
have ever held, viz: the Greenback-La
borcrS. The G.. LIS were splendid fel
lows when the Republicans wanted
Office; but the latter fellows now say
they can stand alone, and propose Il
try it. Last Saturdays failure was al
index of what they, alone, can do, anC
the chapter will be read after the vote:
are counted on the night of the fourth
of next November.
Another feature which gave consid
cradle offense was the names OF two o
our most respectable cOlored voters
along with number of our Southern
white Republicans on the posters, an
nouncing the meeting. For Instance
Capt. T. A. Christy, Esq, John c
Thomas, +. c. Kinnison, and E. K
West. 1t is all right TO be classcd will
the colored brother as voter, but SOM
Of them would draw the line Their
rather than go before the world as fel
low members of committee for public
work; and it was precious little worl
some Of the committee performed, too
Our Republican friends don't care T.
compare the meeting either I'm size o
enthusiasm, with the crowds that cam'
to hear Gen. J. Il. Weaver and old Jes
Harper several years ago. But that wa
when the Republicans and Grecnbackcr
were working in the same traces.

The Boy Got 1t.

10 was ina passenger coach ON the
Delaware and Lackawauua road. y
woman. who had a seat alone, had u
covered basket ON the other half OF 10.
Across from her was mother and her
boy. the latter about eight years OF
age. lie had been asleep, but awoke
inst as the woman got comfortably seat
ed. For about TWO minutes he wonder
ca over the contents. and then he set
tied down Co the belief that the basket
held half a peck of fried cakes. The
thought made him hungry. and he
whispered 20 his mother:
Ma. ma. ! want it,
She was leaning against the window,
and half asleep, and she made no reply.
81 say want it, exclaimed the lad.
yes, Charley" she Sleepily replied.
'Im hungry
Yes"
"WM she care?n
No answer.
81 say, Will she care?'
Don't bother mamma now, dear.
But can ! get it?'
IL guess SO.
The owner OF the basket was looking
out of the window. The boy watched
her for two or three minutes; and then
carefully slipped ont Of his seat TO the
one I'm the rear Of hers. From that
point he could reach the basket, and he
lost uo time. y peg held the cover in
place. and hc drew &c out and carefully
pushed his hand under the lid. IL was
only fairly I'm the basket when there
was a spit and a hiss, followed by a
wild veil from the boy, and next IN
slant humping big tom cat, which
had nearly bitten a finger of, leaped
out of the basket upon the boys head.
IL stayed long enough TO draw
blood from half a dozen scratches, and
then bounded TO the floor, ran down the
aisle. and leaped out of an open window.
The BOYS yells reused the car in an in
slant, and his mother soon had him in
her arms. II took several minutes to
explain the situation, and then the wo-
man with the basket added:
Il was a-takin' that cat up to my
sister Mary. So it was my basket the
boy wanted. en-? ] heard him teaSin'
and teasin'. and his mother said he
could have 70. and l guess to Swum he
got t. and an there waSin it,
