ARTISTIC THIEyING.

In the indictment adopted by the
Democratic state convention in Penn
sylvania one of the specifications was
to ''arraign and condemn" the Repub-
lican officials who were responsible for
the mercantile appraisers in Philadel-
phia who are charged with loss to the
state of some 100000. The system
under which they operated was not, per-
haps, out of harmony with the prevalent
methods among Republican officials in
that state, but it is worthy of notice as
unique and ingenious. These apprais-
ers have 621% cents for each name as
sessed. In two years their industry has
been such that they have assessed 5S.274.
OF these 20,700 paid the assessments,
19, 145 were exempted and 17,400 had
suits brought. Perhaps they were
noviceS at the business. and did
not exhaust the possibilities in
names. Still. at 6211 cents each.

however. The delinquent suits are
brought for the collection of $4,000, and
the magistrates get over 100000 from
the state in fees and costs. Whether
thew divided with other officials or not
is not stated. 1t seems almost pity to
disturb so artistic and carefully devised
q system of discussing things among
those within reach, and for the good of
the party, no doubt.

THEY KICK A LITTLE.

The Ohio darkies are out of humor at
the president for appointing WANA-
MAKERS tavorite as minister to Hayti,
and refusing to take their choice.
They threaten to retaliate by voting
against MCKINLEY. 1t is not the first
snub they have had from that quarter
and they affect to believe that they are
really indignant enough to resent it.
The Republican leaders smile, and bor-
row no trouble in that direction. They
say they have heard that sort of stuff
before. In that state the negroes are
numerous enough to control the re-
suit, and they have voted nearly solid
for the Republicans. The leaders have
reason. palpably, for believing that
they Will continue to be the
ready servitors of the party and
vote the straight ticket, meat or no
meat. Then the president can remind
them that DOUGLASS, who has so profit
ably to himself posed as the largest rep
resentatiye of the race ever since the
war, was sent to Hayti and made a fail
ure as a diplomat, even in the small way
required there. WANAMAKER is worth
more to him than all the colored Repub-
licans in Ohio. Possibly he would not
be quite inconsolable if MCKINLEY
should be beaten. His success might
nflate a presidential boom, and get in
the way of the president.

A CHANCE FOR THEM.

Singular as it may seem the opposi-
tion to the Baron HIRscH scheme for
the colonization of the Jews driven out
of Russia in this country comes from
people of the same race. American Jews,
especially those in the trades unions,
protest against aid being given to any of
theRusslan refugees to come to this coun-
try and compete with them in industrial
avocations. 1t is selfishly insisted that
they will be given an unfair advantage
in being aided to get start. If they are
familiar with agriculture or willing to
engage in it colonies of them might as
we'll be established as of the other emf
grants from Russia found in the Da-
kotas and other Western states. But
there does not seem to be any very cor
dial invitation extended to them any
where. All parts of Europe give them
the cold shoulder and no invitation COM
mittees are being appointed OH this side.
The syndicate OF wealthy Jews who are
so humanely looking after their inter-
ests could buy up some country for
them. If they cherish the old faith in
the restoration of that people to Pales-
tine, that land could be had for them no
doubt

THE wHEAT DEMAND.

1t is very shallow and superficial
view that crop reports from portions of
the wheat districts have much to do
with prices. In every locality in any
state where the producer feels that way
inclined there may be the most vocifer-
Gus eXultation over the abundance Of
the crop without affecting the market a
particle. The fluctuations come from
the advices in Europe. 1t is accepted
as a settled fact that the deficit in the
food supply in the old world will alb
sorb all the surplus of this country, pro-
vided the prices do not go so high that
the people can not buy and are forced
to do with cheaper substitutes. The
early sales have been enormous. 1t is
computed that the shipments made
and provided for up to Nov. 80
will reach 107.OOO,OOO bushels, rather
more than half the estimated surplus of
the country. In consequence, the chan
nels of passage are chOked. the demand
for the time is stated. and prices are re-
ceding. Cargoes do not now find buy
ers in Europe, and, unless war menaces
thicken, it is probable prices will go
still lower. In spite of all the positive
and detailed statements of parties, it
is still question as to the volume of
demand that will be created by the
shortness of crops in Europe. There
must be time for absorption of the vast
purchases thrown upon the market.
The deficit is conceded to be greater
than this country can meet, but it is a

AT some point they will stop
using the wheat. That, however,
will be considerably in advance
of present figures. 1t is entirely imma-
terial in the solution of the problem of
returns whether any wheat belt yields a
few millions more or less. The press
ure upon the arteries of transit Is an
important factor. however. The pour
ing of wheat into the great centers and
forwarding points in the West and the
crowding of the lines of traffic eastward
do retard an advance in prices and tend
to stagnation. 1t would be to the adj
vantage of the farmers if they could
hold their grain for the later demand.
A flooded market inevitably reduces
prices. The crop will all be wanted,
but it cannot all be handled or con-
sumed at once. To hold seems the pres
ent lesson,

THE ENGLISH CATTLE LAW.

Minister Lincoln Gets Some Re-
strictions Removed.
LONDON, Sept. 18.-The statement in
the veterinary department annual
report that three cattle cargoes
from New York and Baltimore
landed at Deptford containing
ten head of cattle affected with
pleuro-pneumonia, and that three car
goes from New York and Boston con-
tanned four head similarly affected,
meets with an explicit denial from the
United States cohSul. Deputy Consul
MoWatt states that the charges that GER
tain cattle were diseased have been dis
proved and that all cargoes landed
have been shown to be free from
contagious diseases. Under Mr.. Chap
Inns regime the measures for depress-
ing the foreign cattle trade are rigidly
enforced, but the long-continued free
dom of American cargoeS from diseases
enables Mr.. Lincoln, the American min
lister, to demand the removal of
the quarantine regulation requiring
that cattle be killed within ten
days after landing. Although live stock
dealers and the Consery alive press APP
prove the repression of the import trade
popular feeling supports the American
request for freedom of import. Mr..
Chaplin, under pressure from shippers,
has already SO modified the reg
ulations~ concerning the storage
OF cattle as to lead to the
abandonment of the steamship COM
panies' opposition. Probably before
the regulations come into force OH Jan.
next, Mr.. Lincoln will have succeeded
in removing the obnoxious slaughter

TOO TIGHT FOR THEM.

The bill to reduce the evils of intem-
perance that the emperor has approved
and will urge before the reichstag
proves upon examination to be more
stringent than the law-making body is
likely to consent to. The German pa
pers give it very little support. and even
some members of the ministry recoil
from it. The emperor has made his i'm
perious will dominant so far, but when
he interferes with the freedom of the
citizen in a matter of this kind, he will
strain the machinery and be likely to
score failure. Some of the restric-
tons are in advance of any that have
been enforced in this country. Two
kinds of licenses are to be had. In one
no spirits are TO be sold by the glass,
and in the other provisions for
eating must be had with the
drink. This will be like taking the
horse to the trough and trying to make
him drink when he has concluded not
to. The German will insist upon tax
ing his food and drinks separate if he
wants to. Then, the seller is required
to perform police duties. If his custom
ers get full he must see that they are

VISITS THE TWINS.

Brownsville (aIinn.) News.
The growth OF these two Minnesota
cities is phenomenal. The lnterurban
line of street cars running between st.
Paul and Minneapolis is doing much to-
wards bringing the two giants together
in the middle and making one vast
whole of the two parts. These two cities
will before long, we think, join hands,
incorporate under one name, have one
government, and become one of the
largest cities ia the world.
If there is one thing more than an
other that a st. Paul citizen is proud of
it is the fire department of his native
town, and lie has just reason to be. for
better, more efficient and more mag
nificent fire department than that OF ST

the parade Thursday night, and it was
a sight worth seeing. We were sta

cOlored and electric lights artistically
arranged. The street was cleared of
vehicles, and, standing in the center, we
gazed up and down the long thorough
fare and beheld such mass of people,
men, women and children, as to give us
the impression that the entire populace
of that vast city and every stranger in
town had followed the one common
impulse, to station themselves on Third
street, see the sights and watch the fire
department go by in all its splendor.
A brass band was playing in close prox-
unity; band preceded the fire depart

went up from the multitude as each

scene was truly grand one, and every
st. Paul citizen was proud of it. There
were 125 pieces OF apparatus in line,
and every one of them looked as trim
as If they had just come out of band
box. TO the credit of the boys having
charge of them, of course.

VIEWS OF STATE EDITORS.

The Pioneer Press interviews are not
always reliable, as it confesses itself.
A few days ago it accredited Senator c.
r. Davis with saying that since Lind's
withdrawal the field is practically clear

The Minneapolis board of trade has
declined the proposition of the st. Paul
board of trade to appoint committee
of seven TO confer with like commit
tee from st. Paul upon the subject of a
municipal union of the two cities. The
manner in which the offer was refused
may have been trifie blunt, but we be-
lieve nothing but an outlay of time and
labor would have followed. The feeling
of rivalry between the two cities,
especially on the part of Minneapolis,
is too strong to permit of such a union
as would prove beneficial Benson

POSTAL REFORMS.

The postmaster general has indicated
three points that he proposes to advance
and urge in his annual report. These
are one-cent postage for letters, free de-
livery for small towns, and the postal
telegraph. The first of these was dis
tinct demand of the Republican plat
form of 1885, but has been treated by Mr..
WANAMAKER as somewhat previous.
He has insisted that the service could
not stand so big cut. The reductions
in postal rates the past generation have
been so numerous and pronounced that
the public demand has not greatly out
run them. There is no movement in
business circles to promote cheaper
rates, but the good man at the head of
the department may be patted on the
back in this effort One cent postage
is TO come. That is conceded. When
ever adopted it will for time enlarge
the deficit in the revenues. Every re-
duction has done that. Bot the enor-
nous stimulus afforded to letter-send-
ing has soon shortened up the financial
gap. There are business, social and
educational advantages in promoting
letter writing. The bed rock will be
reached at one-cent postage, and the
jump may as well be made now as later.
The hurting will be over sooner.
The free delivery system has been
extended TO smaller communities and
every advance ground taken has been
held. 1t is beneficial and popular ex-
tension SO far as there is evidence. 1t
would, perhaps, not be wise at present
to 20 fast in getting the letter carriers
into small communities. In England

of Mind.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept. 1S-The
revolutionary movement in Mexico is
looked upon with the gravest appre-
hension by the authorities of that re-
public. A dispatch received from the
City Of Mexico states that President DiaZ
to-day called his political counseIors
around him and discussed at length the
ceiyed here to-day from Monterey, Sal
tillo and towns along the Rio Grande
border states that the following proc
lamation was spread broadcast in those
cities on the night Of Sept. 16 by I'M
known agents Of the revOlutioniSts:
The purpose of this revolution is to restore
the constitutional government in Mexico
under the constitution OF 1857; to overthrow
the Dlaz despotlSm, and. after capturing
DiaZ, to condemn MIN to death, traitor to
his country. From and upon the issuance
of this proclamation all Mexico is declared
to be IN a state OF military siege, and is
placed under martial law.
The document has created profound
sensation in all parts OF the republic
where it has been circulated. Gen.
Stanley, commander of the department
OF Texas, to-day received a dispatch
from Capt. Randall, at Fort Ringgold,
dated Sept II. stating Embellishments
from Briners, MatamOras and Nueva
Leon were in hot pursuit of Garcia and
that he will doubtless be defeated and
his band dispersed.
RIO GRANDE CITY, Tex, Sept. 18.-It
has been definitely ascertained that
CATERING h. Garcia promised his men
that they should assault and loot the
town of Camarg0, and that after a slight
Skirmish with seven custom house
guards whom they met near that town
Garcia and the remnants of his men
retreated to the AZucar, where he
told them that Ruiz Sandoval ana rein
fOrcementS were TO meet them. The
latter is reported to nave crossed the
river at San IgnaciO, about forty miles
this side of Laredo, with a small body of
men. a small detachment of reyO-
lutionists crossed the river three miles
above here yesterday to join Garaci,
who is now reported to have
hundred men. The Mexican troops are
still after him and the United States
troops continue TO patrol this side of the
river. Complaints have been filed De
fore United States Commissioner
Downs, of this place, against all those
whose names can be ascertained and
they will be arrested as fast as
they can be found on their return
if tie Mexicans let them return. Garcia
has issued a manifesto i'll regulation

with to depose DiaZ. At a late hour to-
night news was received that the reVO-

LONDON, Sept. 1S.-The sultan has
deemed the moment oppOrtune to en-
phasize the entente between the Porte
and the FrancoRussian alliance by con-
ferring upon Ribot, the French foreign
minister, the grand Gordon of the Order
of Osmanie, and upon Nine Ribot the
decoration of Nichani- Chefakat, AN or
der for ladies founded by the sultan
himself. The bestowal OF these dis
tinctions were announced to the dip
lomatic circles in Constantinople
tonight. Associated with this news
the British foreign office has received
advlces from Sir William White, the
British ambassador at Constantinopl e.,
to the effect that Said Pasha had sent
him a report from the governor of
Smyrna Oh the Mitylene incident, with
a note repeating in urgent tones the
Porte's request for an explanation.
Sir William White does not men
ton the receipt of any informa-
ton concerning Sigri from Admiral
Lord Kerr, OH which his response ought
to be based. The delaying of the reply
tends to confirm the belief that Admiral
Kerr acted under orders. ana that it
was not chance that caused the maneu-
vres. Sigri, it is believed, was Sc
lected as
An UnObtrusIVe Place
to effect a suggestive demonstration.
Sir William White certainly is not
hampered IN making an explanation by
all absence of communication from the
Levant squadron. The admiralty is
known to have received a report from
Admiral Kerr, telegraphed through
COnstantinople, presumably through
the medium of the British embassy. If
Admiral Kerr acted under in
structions, Lord Salisbury's explana-
tons may rest upon the fact
that the Porte had long accorded
the privilege of maneuVeri.lg and drill
ing upon the islands of the archipelago.

will not be apologize. The Standard.
