HOW CAN REPUBLICANS WINp
We take the following from the New York World:

We take the following from the New York World:
 The World has shown that the Democrats can elect their candidate for President by carrying the South ern States, with New York, Indiana and New Jersey-the three votes lacking in this combination being al ready secured, with one or two to spare, by the district system of eec- ton in Michigan.
 How can the Republicans beat this combination?
 They must hold all the other States and carry New York or Indiana New Jersey being safely Democratic
 Can they do this? Is it not within the bounds of reasonable probability to say, in view of the voting last year and this, that the Democrats are as likely to carry Iowa and Mon tana as the Republicans are to carry Indiana? These two States have sixteen electoral votes, or one more tudu Ailttidlld
 Then the World points out other weaknesses in the Republican col umn, to witt Connecticut has given Democratic pluralities in the last five elections. Henry Cabot Lodge told the Republicans of Massachu- sets plainly after the second elec- tion of Russell, this year, that they must flight for the State next year. New Hampshire gave 1,5G0 Demo- cratic majority for Democratic Rep resentatlves last year, and only ninety-three plurality for the Repub- lican Governor. The State has a secret ballot law which will help the Democrats, and the Republican par ty is rent by factional feud, Rhode Island gave Democratic ma jority of ,600 for Representative last year, and has given a Demo cratic plurality for Governor for three years in succession. Wiscon- sin is by no means safely Republi- can. It elected a Democratic Gov ernor last year by 2S,000 plurality, and gave Democratic plurality of 33,000 on Congressman. Illinois elected Democratic Treasurer by 9,S47 plurality last year, and gave . Democratic plurality of 31 ,000 and a majority over all of 1000 on Con- gressmen.
 "If the Democrats hold New York" the World adds, "how are the Republicans to win? /" Perhaps by fulltillment of the St. Louis Globe Democrats hope that a way may bo found to carry New York, and prevent the Democrats from carrying Indiana. And this ox- presses the sum total of that jour nal $ confidence, and is virtual confession of defeat in advance.
 The change in public sentiment in the North is so rapid and consistent as to practically destroy any Repub- lican basis of calculation. Republi- can victory cannot be figured out except by assuming that a reaction will occur to displace reliable Demo- cratic States; but of this there is not the slightest indication at pres ent. The drift is still the other way. On all issues the Democrats are stronger than the Republicans and Democratic defeat Is simpossible with out Democratic blundering - Ark ansas Gazette.

Inkstands and Spittoons Exchanged BY
Memqsrs On the Floor.
Great excitement prevailed in the Arkansas
house Of representatives yesterday afternoon,
E c. Mitchell Of BooPe and II. O. BEAD Of
Little River participating in . fight.
The question Of calling . constitutional
convention was under consideration. Mr..
SEWER introduced . substitute for the senate
bill providing that the question should be
submitted to vote Of the people instead Of
the legislature calling the convention as
provided by the senate bill. Mr.. Mitchell
spoke in favor Of the constitution.
Mr.. Head, an independent. said that from
the vote cast two years ago in Boone county
$40 for and 1855 against-the people did not
want a constitutional convention.
Mr.. Mitchell said that the people Of Boone
were not like those of Little River county, who
went about shaking hands with the ''niggers."
The lie was then passed and inkstands, spit
toons and other articles that were calculated
to do injury were exchanged between the two
gentlemen. No one was injured during the
fight, but several members were well be-
spattered with ink and tobacco juice. The
speaker ordered the sergeant-At-arms to place
the disturbers under arrest
Mr.. Head said he meant no disrespect to the
house, and although he felt justified in saying
what he did to the members for Boone, he
would not hesitate to make the proper apol-
ogles, and upon motion of Mr.. Dubert the
apologies Of the gentlemen were accepted.
The substitute was then adopted and read
a third time, and pending discussion the house
took . recess.

WELCOMED TO THE SOUTH.


Secretary ProctSr's Excursion Party the
Recipients Of Much Attention.
The party which left Washington on Monday
afternoon for chattanooga arrived there at
1850 O'Clock last night Mr.. Eddy, vice presi-
dent Of the Roanoke and Western railroad, and
Col Hudson Of the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia road met IL train on the way and
escorted the party. which was the recipient Of
much attention at Roanoke, Bristol, Knoxville
and other places. At Bristol a delegation Of
young girls from the female college welcomed
the guests, and at Knoxville a crowd of good
size gathered in the railroad station and loudly
called for the better known Of the public men.
Secretary Proctor. Attorney General Miller,
Senators Henderson and Frye, and Representa-
tives Mckinley, Cannon, Baker. Allen Hender-
son and Hooker all made brief speeches, ex-
tolling the south generally and east Tennessee
particularly. Maj Mckinley attracted marked
attention and was received with applause.
Senator Frye made a ringing speech uphold
ing protection. The south he said, was like
boy whose mother forced his mouth open and
made him take dose Of oil, which though not
liked by the boy did him lots Of good. The re-
Publlcans proposed to keep examining protec-
ton down the throat Of the south, for 1t was
for the good Of the country.
Preparations have been made to give the visit
ors an enjoyable time. Chickamauga, Mission
Ridge and Lookout mountain will be visited, q
reception will be given tonight and tomorrow
night the party will attend banquet in cele-
bration Of the manufacture Of basic steel in
Chattanooga. The river is very high at Chat
tanooga, but not sufficiently 80 to interfere with
the program.

Mrs. Cathcart's Case.

DR.. Fitzgerald raised question in the house
of commons yesterday in regard to the case of
Mrs. Cathcart, the wealthy lady of Stafford, who
it is alleged was confined in an insane asylum
at the instigation of her husband. DR.. Fitz-
gerald asked whether it was true that Mrs
Cathcart had been seized by four servants of q
private asylum within the precincts of the law
courts; whether the seizure constituted case
of contempt of court, and whether it was legal
to seize person under what is called an ur-
gency order and confine him or her in an asy-
lum before a medical examination had been
made or q certificate given.
Mr.. Matthews, the home secretary, replied
that Mrs Cathcart had been taken in the Strand,
outside the law courts, and it was entirely for
the court to decide whether the seizure consti-
tuted case Of contempt. He added that all
the legal requirements Of the lunacy acts had
been fulfilled and he saw no reason to interfere
in the matter

President Eliot Talks Of Western Errors and
10 Called . SnOb.
A st. Louis special says: great deal Of COM
ment has been caused by short address, de-
livered on the floor of the merchants exchange
Monday afternoon by President c. W. Eliot
of Harvard College. Some portions of the
speech had decidedly queer sound to western
ears, so much SO that one evening paper SO far
forgot the laws Of hospitality as to denounce
the city's distinguished visitor as a ''snob."
ut would be rash for an eastern man and
college president to try to tell St. Louis mer-
chants anything about their business" said
Mr.. Eliot. and will not attempt it. have
been travelling five weeks, studying all the
while, and have noted the social, political,
financial and commercial questions which have
recently come up. First of these is the cur
rency question. 1t is not so much currency as
confidence that is wanted. and this is under
stood by the intelligent men Of the west as well
as the east Prosperity in business is founded
on confidence; not on more or less of a circu-
lating medium, but in the payment of interest
the payment of debts and prompt settlement
OF all transactions. That creates confidence.
II have been studying the great waves Of
public opinion which sweep over the west and
overwhelm the lotbox, and find they come
from the farmer and the laborer who works
with his hands. We in the east are not subject
to such sudden waves Of misinformed public
opinion. Let me urge upon you to take up this
matter in the west and look to it. 1t is to the
interest Of your commerce, your individual
business.
such a food of misinformed public opinion
has got control Of some states in the west
Those in control should be properly informed.
They should be taught the true doctrine, year
by year, in person, in bodies and by the public
press. II you cannot secure q newspaper to
convey the proper ideas and instill the true
doctrine into the minds of those who are labor
ing under wrong impressions and are in con-
| troll establish paper or get one to answer your
purpose. If you cannot do this use the leaflet
or the tract, but you must relieve the minds of
the people in this western country of their erro-
neous ideas. You will find in the mercantile
classes young men who will gladly devote them
selves to public instruction. Your merchants
and manufacturers need to take up the i'm
mense task Of teaching them the correct
methods of finance and commerce"
The looks on the faces of his auditors and
| some faint murmurs Of disapproval showed the
speaker that he had said something that, to say
the least, had not been expected, and he closed
abruptly.

Great Interest Manifested in Its Coming
Meetings.
Great interest is manifested in the meetings
Of the Canadian cabinet, as it is be-
heved that arrangements will be made
for entering into negotiations for reci-
procity. Sir Charles Upper and Sir John
Thompson will, it is said, be the Canadian nego-
tiatorsI 1t will be remembered that Mr.. Blaine
said that he could not 80 discuss the matter until
after March 4. 1t is understood therefore, tina.
the Canadian government is awaiting some COM
munication from the American Secretary Of
State.
A Boston journal special from Of
tawa, Ont, says: Statements having been
published recently that the Canadian govern
ment had instructed its organs to warn manu-
fac turers that the tariff is to be abandoned,
the premier was asked about the matter last
night. He stated that the government among
other things, went to the country on the ques-
ton Of the maintenance of the national policy,
and it intended to adhere to that policy. The
national policy. however, was quite consistent
with the persistent efforts of the Canadian gov
eminent to secure fair reciprocity treaty with
the United States.

Debts Can Be Paid in Greenbacks.

Debts Can Be Paid in Greenbacks.
The judiciary committee of the Pennsyl-
vania state senate has reported favorably the
following bill, which passed first reading Mon
day night:
can act to prescribe the mode Of payment Of
debts contracted to be paid in money or bull
lion.
BE it enacted &C., that from and after the
passage Of this act all obligations of debt con-
tracted to be paid in money or bullion shall be
payable--all stipulations to the contrary not
withstanding-in either the notes, silver or
gold coin, authorized by the Congress Of the
United States as a legal tender"
The measure is favored by both republicans
and democrats. 1t is urged by manufacturers
and by men in active business pursuits and
especially the grangers.
