Political WrangIasln the Vest

There is revolution in the AIR in
the strong Republican States Of the
west. Iowa has just elected Dem
ocratlc Governor and close Legis-
lature, with every prospect of gen
eral revolt in the election OF Con-
gress next fall. The more than
$4,000 Republican majority has
melted away, chiefly because of the
failure Of the party to repeal needless
taxes on the nccessarics of life.
In Kansas, the banner Republi-
can State of the Union in 1888,
there are two thoroughly organized
Republican parties with State com.
mittees, and the certainty of rival
Republican State tickets, and next
fall will come the Farmers Alliance
that is nearly strong enough to de-
feat both parties in a square con-
test. The fractional strife in the
party might be reconciIed, but the
Farmers Alliance has hay on its
horns and it means business in-;;s
crusade against monopoly taxes.
Nebraska is quite as cyclonic po-
iitic9llg-as Iowa and Kansas. The
Anti-Monopoly Republicans have
already held their State Convention
and nominated Full State ticket.
During June the Union Labor party
and the Farmers Alliance will
each hold State Conventions and
nominate State tickets and the
regular old liners will nominate Re-
publican and Democratic tickets
later. Between the Anti-monopolv
republicans, the Union Labor par
ty and the Farmers Alliance. all
anti-tax parties, where is tho party
Of high monopoly taxes to come
out in the race? In Wisconsin the
anti-tax sentiment has been strong
er than party dicipline and the is
sue Of forcing English education in
all schools, public and parochial,
has disrupted party lines. The
large foreign vote of the State, chief
" Swedes and Norwegians, is natural
ly Republican, butit is strongly OPP
posed to high tariff taxes, and the
passage of the Mckinley bill, or of
any tariff measure at all like it.
would surely revolutiouize the state
and make it Democratic.
In Illoinois the fact that General
John ". Palmer, gallant soldier
and old Republican Governor and
leader, has taken the field as y can
didato for United Sratcs Senator i'm
favor Of tariff reform with the united
support Of the Democrats, clearly
indicates that ahithcrto reliable Re-
publican State is now dcbatable
ground; and the universal unrest Of
the farmers, as is shown by the
great strength Of the Farmers Al
lance, strongly indicates aswcepiug
political revolution in the State that
gave Che country Lincoln and Grant.
Ia short the whole West seems to be
iu an cruptiyc condition politically,
and there must be wonderful
strengthening Of party lines between
this and November to enable The
Republicans to hold either branch
Of The Congress. - PkilQdnlUhju

man VINO gave his name as

arrested at Rowlesburgh on last
Thursday and brought before U. S.
Commissioner w. X. ID. Dent, who
found him guilty of passing coun-
forfeit money and held in the sum
of 50, 900 to await the action Of the
Federal Grand Jury, in default Of
which he was placed in Jail. The
facts of the case are as follows: Il
few days prior to his arrest he went
TO the store of j. III. Dunk & Co.
and bought % cents worth, gave a
five dollar bill in payment, received
the goods and change and departed.
He did the same trick at Rowles-
burg. The five dollar bills proved
TO be "raised" one dollar bills,
which could be easily detected by
close examination. GRAFTON Lieut.

New Yorks great seaside resort,
Coney Island, was opened for the
season OH Decoration Day. From
this time on thousands of the pop
ulation will daily set their faces in
the direction of this great breath
ing-spot, there to relax their cares
and obtain few hours Of rest and
enjoyment. People who live out
side of New York have no idea how
important place Coney Island is
to tho residents of that city. On
some Of the hot days in su miner its
enjoyments are partaken of by
hundreds Of thousands, every boat
and every train being overloaded
with pleasure seekers. During the
past winter number of changes
have been made at the Island, but
rs a rule visitors will find the same
old scenes and high prices as in
days gone by. All the boats are
running now, but the season will
not be in full blast for several
weeks.
The most magnificent hotel in the
world is about TO be erected on
Fifth Avenue, New York. 1t is to
be built by the Astor family, and
will be managed by Mr.. George c.
Boldt, now proprietor of the hotels
Bcllvue and Stratfore, of Philadel-
phia. 1t will occupy the site of the
residence Of the late John Jacob
Astor at 35rd street and Fifth ave-
nue., and will be 100 feet wide by
225 feet long. Out of respect for
the memory of Mr.. Astor, the old
residence will not be torn down be-
fore the close Of the present year.
The new hotel will be absolutely the
finest in the world, and for the ac-
commodation only of the very choic-
est class of guests--that is for
those who can pay the most. Mr..
Boldt, who is to manage the new
hotel has had marvellous success i'm
Philadelphia, and is an old acauain-
tance of the Astors. The building
will be erected and Furnished entire
ly according to his ideas. 1t will
present some novel features in hotel
architecture, one of which will be a
large court, 20 Y co feet, in the
center. This will be arranged with
balconies on each floor, ornamental
ly designed, and overlooking "
handsomely appointed piazza below.
All the entrances WILDE on 33rd
street, and the large dining-room,
% X 80 feet, will stretch along
Fifth avenue. The hotel will be
ten stories high, and cost between
$4,000, 900 and 5000, 900. 1t will
be furnished in the richest and
most elegant style, and will be
ready by 1892.

epitomc of the Mckinley "Whst-is-

"There are more than one hum

can give us no data to justify these
increases. There are two hundred
