A BIG CAMPAIGN Fund,

They say that half a million dollars
has been raised among the Eastern i'm
porters to assist in the defeat of Major
MCKINLEY in Ohio, and another report
has it that the owners of Western silver
mines have also raised half a million
more for the same purpose. A million
dollars is mint of money and if the
stories are true. as of course they are
not, all this shows how advantageous it
is for state to be in the doubtful
column. The Republicans will surely
get together as much ammunition as their
opponents, and according to this fable
the wheels of trade in Ohio VIII run
smoothly this fall under the influence
of vast volume of infowing capital.
A million dollars. if honestly ex-
pended for the enligh tenment of the
people of commonwealth on the doc
trines of tariff reform, would not be
money wasted, and if there is any pros
pect of like sum being raised for the
conversion Of Minnesota, just give US
time to express our feelings on the
question, and we shall quickly prove
that contest for the establishment Of
any sort of principles would not be alto
gether hopeless here. This state is GO

THE ATRSHIP.

PENNINGTON, the alrship inventor
who did not meet anticipations at Chi
cago, is perfecting his aerial craft at
ST. Louis, and the detailed observations
of the local journals indicate a good
deal of faith in his success. The first
test with siX-passenger ship is prom
ised for the coming week. 1t is to cover
but few miles, with the craft at an
elevation to clear distractions. 1t is
claimed that the ship is constructed of
aluminium. and will be able to travel
200 miles an hour, carrying passengers
The trip from st. Louis to Chicago will
then take but an hour and a half, and
two hours more will reach st. Paul.
Credence is given almost any claims for
speed on the surface or in the water,
but there will be general waiting for
demonstrations before much stock is
taken in air navigation.

ONE OUT OF A FLOCK.

The recent 10 per cent reduction OF
wages in the extensive glucose works at
Buffalo seems to call for calculation by
the McKinleyites who insisted upon an
increased duty for the benefit of the
workman. The case is representative.
In no important instance has there been
an advance in wages since the passage
of the bill, while reduction has been had
in many of the protected lines. Under
the old tariff the home manufacturers
of glucose had the entire field by aid of
20 per cent duty. Less than 3d.
worth was imported last year. A pro-
lection that excludes Importation and
competition from abroad would seem
to exhaust the virtue of that mode of
encouraging industries. There was no
reason to doubt that the manufacturers
were making liberal profits. SOlicitude
to pay the men better wages was the
apparent reason tor raising the duty.
The impOSt was made specific in place
of ad valorem; but the new rate amounts
to about 50 per cent. in place of %. an
increase of 80 per cent. Now the wages
are to be reduced 10 per cent. This case
is but one bird out OF large flock.

THE NEW YORK TIMES.

All the press has been eulogizing the
dead GEORGE JONES for the past day
or two as the able conductor of a great
and fearless newspaper, but few of
them have commented on the browning
glory of his journalistic career. The
Times was founded as the organ of the
conservative and moderate wing of the
Republican party, which got but little
satisfaction from the eccentricities and
vagaries of HORACE GREELEY. Its
patrons belonged to the Republican
party, and its reputation and position
had been won in the support OF radical
principles. There was already a large
number of Democratic dailies in New
York, while it had no rival at
all in its own field except the
Tribune. Enlightened self-interest
suggested that if it had any
principles it should stifie them and
stick by the colors it had always car
ried. But in advance of the Republican
national convention of 1854 it opposed
the nomination of JAMES G. BLAINE
because lie was dishonest and unfit by
temperament and training to be presi-
dent of the United States, and when
its loyalty was challenged it openly de-
clared that in the event Of his candidacy
it should oppose his election. 1t was as
good as its word, and in the company of
Harper's Weekly and the Evening Post
it arrayed itself among the staunch and
valuable supporters of GROVER CLEvE-
LAND. Since then the Times has been
free lance, advocating measure rather
than party names; but its influence in
national issues has always been with
the Democracy in the furtherance of
tariff reform, economy, simplicity and
peace. No incident in his life shows
GEORGE JONES' courage and fidelity to
his convictions as does this one.

CIVIL. PENSIONS

Perhaps it is a humane tendency of
the age that proposes 10 quarter the
needy upon the governments. In this
country the aim has been to draw the
line for pensioners at beIlicoSe service.
There are numerous propositions afioat
to push it into civil life. Some would
pension aged school teachers. Provi-
sion is made for retiring certain por-
tons Of the judiciary at specified ages
on reduced pay. Recent accounts from
Washington report a scheme strug-
Cling into life to retire department
clerks upon part pay after given
term of years IN service, and make
room for young patriots. WANAMAKER,
the good man who looks after the
letters, fayors the scheme and argues
in its support from standpoint that
would not perhaps occur to those not
familiar with the methods of operating
things at Washington. He insists that
there is virtually a civil pension list
now. This he explains to mean that
when clerks become incapacitated for
duty they are not removed, because it
would be brutal, but are expected to
draw their pay without doing any other
work. If this is the current practice at
Washington it is rather in the line of
the incumbents to become untitled for
work as early as possible, as it will in
sure retention in Office and make life
free from the wear of toll. There is
some merit in the pension scheme, and
if applied to those crippled in the rail
way postal cars, their claims would
have great force. But in the main 1t is
not apparent why those who work for
the government at good salaries, it is
presumed, should have more claims
than the employees OF individuals or cor
poratiOns.

ALEXIS OBJECTED.
The Grand Duke Did Not Want
ANY Fuss.

PARIS, Aug. 13.-Grand Duke Alexis
arrived at Vichy this afternoon. The
Russian consul in a speech declared
that the fiction of the hosting of the
Russian flag to make the grand
dukes residence an integral part of
Russia, was unnecessary, "because
France is Russia and Russia is France"
The grand duke, angry at the fuss
made over him. asked NJ. Ribot to stop
the demonstrations at Vichy. NJ. Ribot
was unable to do so, but he had tele-
gram posted in the streets asking the
people to strictly respect the grand
dukes incognlto. Therefore after the
formal reception on arriving at Vichy
no banquets or other entertainments
were rendered him.
