EX-PREsIDENT CLEVELAND presided at
a Democratic meeting held in New York
on Thursday night of last week and on
taking the chair made telling speech
to the immense audience, the meeting
being one of the largest political gather
ings ever held in that city. During his
speech he was warmly applauded and
made many telling points. At the con-
clusion of Ex-President Cleveland's
speech he introduced Governor Hill who
appeared on the platform and also made
a ringing speech. The two rivals have
buried the hatchet and are both earnest

A Female Mayor Makes Trouble.

KANSAS CITY, KAN, Oct. 11-Kiowa,
in this State, is in a turmoil, the people
being in open revolt against the woman
Mayor, Mrs. Paxton. They have peti-
toned her to resign. The business men,
who depend for much OF their trade on
the cattlemen, are opposed to Prohibi-
ton, and Mrs. Paxton has kept up con-
tinual war on the liquor JOINTS" and
recently sent out a lot of special deputy
City Marshals to destroy all liquor and
nail up the doors of the saloons.
A subscription paper was sent around
among the merchants and an attorney
employed to fight the order, and it was
found Kiowa had no ordinance empow-
ering the Mayor to close the JOINTS.
Then followed the petition asking Mrs.
Paxton to resign. Her husbands name
is attached to it.

Mr.. GEORGE HUNTLEY, of this place,
under date of October 10th publishes a
letter in the Johnstown Tribune, in
which he shows that tin, which cost him
last year S5.75 per box he this year pays
So, ,75 per box, an increase of S1.OO per
box. As every intelligent reader knows
this raise of S1.00 per box is produced by
the Mckinley tariff which increased
the tariff orr duty on tin. 1t is paid
by every buyer and user of tin and
for the sole purpose of enabling a
few manufacturers who wish to go into
the business of manufacturing tin plates
to do so at the expense of the people of
the United States, instead of their own.
An industry that cannot sustain itself is
fraud, Is of no use to any one except
those who are getting the benefit of the
aims forced by taxation from the balance
of the people, and the sooner the people
shut down on these '.infant industries'
the better it will be for them.

BoSHAM, Tex, October 13.-One of
the latest moves of the Farmers Alliance,
and one that causes a decided sensation
in this section, is the boycotting of the
town of Ladonia, in the northwestern
part of this county. The boycott was
inaugurated because the town council
enacted a law prohibiting the running
at large of the stock in the corporate
limits. The boycott was brought about
by impounding the three head of horses
belonging to G. w. Magee, a member
of the Alliance. Prang Gap Alliance is
the first to open war, and they have
adopted a resolution to forever sever
their commercial relation with the town
of Ladonia and use their influence in be-
half of other towns, unless said town of
Ladonia shall so amend its stock law
and return Magee's stock or the equiva-
lent.

GOVERNOR CAMPBELL boldly challen-
ged Major Mckinley to name single
protected industry in the State of Ohio
wherein the wages have been increased
by the operation of his tariff law. The
Governor made the fair proposition to
his opponent to ''give him the votes of
all the men whose wages have been in
creased by it." and ION that basis" he
declared, "I'll carry Ohio by 100000
majority. The tariff was raised on the
pretense of paying higher wages to
American workingmen. 1t has proven
a fraud. Monopoly tax es all the in
creased profits, and labor can bite its
thumb

DURING the last week, says the Phila
delphia Record, upward of 1000, 900
bushels of wheat and (wheat fiour) were
shipped from the Atlantic seaboard to
foreign markets. In the last fifteen
weeks go, 500, 900 bushels of wheat were
exported, against only % ,293, 900 bush
els in the corresponding period of last
year. 1t is these shipments that are re-
versing the gold current which awhile
ago set so strongly against this country.
Since the beginning of the retiux of gold
from Europe till the close of last week
about 81, 500, 600 has flowed back, and
upward of $1,000, 900 more is on the
way; and the movement advances with
the increasing exports of agricultural
products. There will come a time when
this current of gold will be checked by
decline in the abnormal exports of
wheat and corn, or by an increase of
imports of the necesSaries and comforts
of living. After all, these latter imports
are more useful to the masses of the peo-
pie than the return of gold, of which the
mines of the country will continue to
afford sufficient supply for momentary
purposes, unless it shall be banished
from circulation by reckless silver pol
icy.
