Loucks in the Ruralist:

From all accounts coming from the
south there is the greatest excitement
over this movement there has ever
been in the history of that country.
Thousands of people greet the speakers
each day. Public discussions are all
the go. Alliancemen are standing firm
for our demands and the split in the
Democratic ranks has occurred. Sew
eral southern states will cast their cleo
toral votes for Weaver.
1t is the same old Independent conf
dence game, intended to keep the party
together in the northwest where there
is a chance for the leaders to gobble up
here and there a county or state office.
Loucks knows, and Kyle, his feeble
echo, knows that there is not nor has
there ever been q chance for their
party to carry single southern state.
Yet Loucks goes on to say:
The Democrats see their power of q
solid south vanishing, and their rage is
intense. However, they have overdone
it, the result being a great revulslOn OF
feeling and determination to resent
the stigma on Georgia's fair name.
Georgia is not to blame.
No, Georgia is not to blame, but she
has just increased her Democratic ma
jority in an emphatic manner, while
Arkansas, Alabama and Florida have
already registered their verdict in
unmistakable terms.

A SCALE OF PRICES.

Toledo Aldermen Had Regular schsoule
for Ordinances.
TOLEDO, O.. Oct. 1e.-The trial Of
John w. DAILY, one of the seventy coun-
cilmen indicted last July for. boodling,
was commenced in the criminal cslrt
before Judge Harmon and jury. The
first to take the stand for the prosecu-
ton was Ransom P. Swain, one of the
indicted councilmen. Swain testified
that shortly after the municipal elections
last spring ring was formed among
certain members of the board Of council
men to exact bribes for the passage of
important legislation. Prices for the
passage Of certain legislation were fixed
as follows: Standard Oil oompany's or
dinance, $4,000; Pluto Oil co,npany's
ordinance, $500; Paragon Refinery
company's ordinance, $1,000; Warren
scharf Asphalt company's ordinance, II
per cent. amount Of contracts. All other
legislation Z per cent. Of contract.
Witness gave other instances of at
tempted bribery. Swain was still on the
stand when court adjourned.

Argus-Leader: The Democratic pol
icy is to regulate. It'would impose an
annual fine so heavy that none but re-
sponsible men could afford to engage in
the business, and that the number of
saloons would greatly diminish. It
would establish stringent rules against
selling to minors or drunkards or on
Sundays or after reasonable hours. 1t
would forbid the saloons to permit gam
bling or licentiousness. And all these
regulations it would enforce not only by
prompt prosecution for offenses but by
forfeiture of the license.
The Democrats have been in power
in most of the large cities of the country
for years. Can the AL. point to an
instance where this vaunted policy of
control has accomplished any such re-
suits as it pictures?

There were apparently no Peoples

Senator Pettigrew made his first
speech of the campaign at Milbank the
other day, in the course of which he
said:
The Republican party has nominated
as its standard-bearer that eminent
statesman, that calm, deliberate and
wise American, that clean and courte-
GUS gentleman, Benjamin Harrison,
whose administration has reflected
credit upon the government and has no
where left a spot which even malice
could magnify into smirch. tits true
that before the national convention I
felt that certain characteristics of
James G. Blaine would make Republi-
can success easier, if not more sure. and
I therefore favored his nomination
not as has been charged, because was
disgruntled with Harrison, but because
believed Blaine would inspire'more en-
thusiasm. This was my personal judg-
ment, and it is not only the privilege
but the duty OF every American citizen
and especially every Republican to ex-
ercise his personal judgment upon pub
lie questions. When the Republican
sparty formally declares its Judgment
the combined wisdom of its representa-
tives must be accepted as more binding
than the personal judgment Of any man,
and am today of course as warmly and
as earnestly supporter of President
Harrison as would have been of the
candidacy Of James G.. Blaine. He is
the nominee of my party; he is repres-
entative of those principles which / be-
lieve SHOULD prevail in this campaign.
He is the friend of the veteran soldier;
he is the friend of the special interests
in which this section is concerned; he
understands the particular needs of
South Dakota aud the settlers upon its
borders and of the Indian policy and
their rights and interests. He was our
friend when we were struggling for
statehood. In his behalf some good
things are to be said; against him no
valid one can be brought.
The Senator's speech was clear and
logical exposition of Republican princi-
pies and ought to silence for good the
attempts to misrepresent his political
attitude. He has done both the party
and himself signal service, and his
part in the campaign will result in a
strengthening Of the lines everywhere.

the naval pageant was spectacle to be

Not even the famous roadstead of Spit

northward TO the dim blue outlines of

was one of marvellous life and beauty,
And all New York was there to see it.
Every one of the $50 steamers, tugs and
yachts forming the escorting fleet, as
