PERHAPs A BIG REVoLr. .

The contest in Pennsylvania is not
likely to want spirit and intensity. Nor
is the probable result devoid of signifi-
cance. The indications are that the Re-
publicanS will suffer another defeat.
This will be useful to the Democrats in
affording encouragement to work, and
IN famliarZing a good many who have
been intense Republicans with a
broader spirit and comprehension that
their old party has no monopoly of
capacity or honesty. But general is
sues do not come into the fight except
as they are inseparable from party
names. 1t is charged by the Democrats
that integrity in the Republican man.
agement of state finances is a lost
art, if it ever was in every act
i've exercise. QuayIsm has been illus
trated to the grief of the treasury of
the state and its chief city,to the extent
of millions. The Republicans INDUCED
in some high professions, but the hon
est men of the party are not satisfied
with the situation, and are likely to be
found voting in another direction quite
freely. GEORGE W. CHILDs' Public
Ledger leads in the revolt and supports
the Democratic ticket. 1t declares that
sit is indispenSably necessary that the
spoilsmen shall be struck by a crushing
defeat in Pennsylvania. As the situa-
ton now is, the defeat of the Repub-
lieans will not have any important
meaning for the national contest next
year, but it will encourage a style of
voting that will have some good fruits.

CHINAMEN MAY COME,
In Case They larry a Few Days in
Can ada.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-On July 81,
United States commissioner at
Detroit, in the case of a China
man found unlawfully in the
United States, ordered him to be
returned to China as being the country
whence he came. The case was ap-
pealed TO the district court. and to-day
the treasury department received a dis
patch from II. G.. TilIman, the special
deputy collector at Detroit, saying that
Judge Swan had to-day reversed the
decision of the commissioner and
found that Canada was the country from
which the man came and had directed
his return there. L he deputy collector
asked il there were any instructions,
and in reply Acting Secretary
Spaulding telegraphed that in case the
Chinaman referred to in his telegram
came before the court on habeas corpus
proceedings, to request the district at
torney to take an appeal. If the pro-
ceedingS were under the exclusion act
of September. 1888, the decision will be
regarded as final.
At the treasury department with the
information before it the decision is re-
garded as one of great Importance. and
it is said the practical effect of it, if the
proceedings at Detroit were under the
exclusion act, will be to render inopera-
tive the provisions of that act. The attor-
ney general has heretofore decided that
under the provisions of the exclusion
act the country whence the Cinnamon
came means China" and the depart
ment has been sending all Cinnamon
convicted of being unlawfuIIy in the
United States back to that country.
The Canadian government levies a
head tax of $50 upon all Chinese arriv-
ing in that country, and there is moth
ing TO prevent them when once in Can
ada from coming over the unprotected
border into the United States in large

WHY NOT COTTON MILLs?

Kansas City is looking forward to the
establishment of a great cotton mill at
That point at an early day. and becom-
ing an important center for the manu-
facture and distribution of cotton goods.
1t is claimed that the cotton can be
brought there quite as cheaply as to the
New England mills. and successful
competition eventually established. In
earlier times New England had pretty
nearly a monopoly of this manufacture,
largely due to its abundant water power,
and the statement made in a recent
census bulletin that Massachusetts leads
all the states In per capita wealth, and
the adjacent ones that have the great
cotton mills are not far behind, is
measurably due to the profits of
this manufacture. The secretary of
one of the great plants at Law
renee has recently stated that the aver
age profits upon the capital invested
have in twenty-five years exceeded 20
per cent per annum. Massachusetts, has
$4,000, 900 invested in the manufacture
of cotton goods. and there is some in
crease in the business, but it is being
established in other sections with sue
cess, especially in the South. Massa-
ehusettS has in the last four years in
creased this manufacture about 20 per
cent, and the other New England states
very little, while the South has added
Is per cent. If Kansas City can sue
ceed in this direction, no reason ap-
pears why it may not be numbered
among the industries of the Northwest.
The Mississippi river affords direct CON-
munication with the cotton belt, and
there is a vast country west of the river
to be supplied with cotton goods.

NEW YORK TO-DAY.

This is an important day for the De-
| mocracy, because the party in New
York will name ticket to be accepted
or rejected by the people at the polls
two months hence. The HILL and
CLEVELAND factions are reported to
have agreed on Mr.. FLOWER as the can
didate to lead the state, and their United
strength is pledged to secure his cleo
ton. A Legislature also is to be chosen,
which will select successor to Senator
HIsCoCK. There are some evidences of
dissension in spite of the truce which is
rumored. and the County Democracy in
New York city and the JONES contin-
gent among the farmers threaten to
cause what trouble and confusion their
strength may be equal to. The party is
well organized. however. and will go
into the campaign against ticket dis
credited by the domination OF Mr.PLATT
in the recent Republican convention.
Whether Mr.. FLOWER is elected or
not, New York is bound to be the piv-
otal point In the coming national battle,
and if it is prepared to present the ma me
of Mr.. CLEVELAND as its choice for the
"
matter how much secret opposition
there may be to such course. Should

however, but at the same time carry
Pennsylvania, Ohio or Iowa, New
York's prominence in the field of ma
tional politics would suffer consider
ably, and the prestige of its favorite
sons fade somewhat at the same time.
The defeat of Mr.. FLOWER, if he is
nominated to-day, and the election of
Mr.. PATTISoN. Mr.. CAMPBELL or Mr..
BoIEs would set the world inquiring as
to the availability of some one of these
three men as presidential timber. The
closest Investigation of this sort would
disclose nothing in the character of
either of them inconsistent with his fill
ing the highest Office in the land. In
the midst of such uncertainty it is still
any mans race. The victorious nomi-
nees of either party have not always
been the men anointed years in adj
vance, and it is one of the boasts OF our
system that there are thousands of citi-
zens capable by training and education
of diScharging the duties Of the presi-
dency if they are called upon to do it.

nor of the United States depends upon
