LONDON, Dec. ga month has
elapsed since the beginning of tie
great cotton lockout and it appears
no nearer settlement than at the
beginning. Perfect order has been
maintained, however, throughout
the spinning districts. As the
members of the Amalgamated
Association of Cotton-spinners re-
ceive regular weekly strike pay
there is another side to the subject
not so bright; 10000 non-union
millhands are idle through the
same dispute and with no treasury
to draw upon, their condition is
pitiable. Thousands of them, men,
women and children, are now re-
duced almost to starvation. Pal
try household effects and even
parts of their clothing have gone
to the pawnbrokers for money to
buy food. The little money thus
raised is soon spent and starvation
stares the idle working people in
the face. In many mill towns
non-union millhands daily parade
the streets and solicit aims. The
severity of the weather now pre-
vailing adds to the distress.
MONTREAL, Dec. ga promin-
ent official of the Canadian Pacific
said: When We get our fast At
lantic service going we will as
tonish the Americans with what
we can do. For instance, we will
take passenger from London and
set him down in New York a day
ahead of any route; in fact, so
great are our advantages that we
look forward to the time when we
can place a traveller in Chicago in
the same number of hours that
competing American lines could
place him in New York.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The pro-
position to choose the President by
direct vote of the people promises
to meet with more than the usual
consideration by the Committee on
the Election of President and Vice
President and Representatives to
Congress.
At the last session of Congress,
Springer introduced a joint resolu-
ton providing that the term of the
presidency and vice-presidency be
six years, and making the incum-
bents ineligible to reelection, and
also providing a scheme for elect
ing them by direct vote of the peo-
pie. The committee had a meeting
to-day and Springer addressed it,
and was followed by Colonel Nc
Clure, who Endorsed Springer's
sentiments.
Representative Beltzhoover, of
Pennsylvania, introduced a resolu-
ton in the House a few days ago
which has for it's object the election
of the President and Vice. President
by the direct vote of the people,
and this was referred to a sub
committee.

SEATS.

There are between thirty and forty con-
gressional districts in the South with q
large Republican majority in which the
Democratic candidates are invariably re-
turned through ballot box frauds. These
representatives of stolen seats control
the House, elect the speaker, ap-
point the committees, and the North
ern Democrats, though in the majority
in congress, submit. Without these
stolen seats at the South the Democratic
party generally would be In a minority in
congress-, and without its stolen electoral
votes 1t would have no possible chance of
eiecting the president. Cleveland could
not possibly have been elected in 1884 save
for the stolen electoral votes; he cannot
be elected without these stolen electoral
votes In 1892.
The eoath has once made Cleveland
president BY . shotgun and fraudulent
ballot canvass. and without this burlesoue
OF the ballot by the South Cleveland
could not Be elected. In Louisiana no.
only Il . campaign Of organized fraud and
violence conducted against the Republic
ans. but IN the recent contest between the
two Democratic factions the one which
had control of the election machinery used
the same means to defeat the opposing
faction that the united party has used
against the Republicans for years.
The same frauds that were practiced in
the election of Foster to the governors
chair are used 70 send six Democrats to
congress and to give eight electoral votes
TO the Democrats at every presidential
election. Sc completely is free suffrage
stamped out at the South that it takes
5000 more votes in the Northwest 10
elect twenty congressman than it does in
the South. With only 1900 more votes
cast the four Southern states of Delaware,
Florida. Georgia and Mississippi elect nine
more congressman than the six new states
OF the Northwest. Here are the figures:

IOWA AND PROHIBITION.

During twenty years OF existence the
Prohibition party has not yet cast a
quarter of a million votes in a total OF over
100000. This party has not held in that
time the g~overnorship of a single state;
it has been IN a majority in a few state legis-
latures. but il has made no state perma-
nently or for any considerable time its
own, and has never captured the govern
ment of any OF our larger cities. In Puritan
Massachusetts, the land Of steady habits.
IT has cast too few votes 10 be entitled

names on the Official ballot. In those
states where its principles are embodied
in law ii has not sufficient public opinion
on its side to compel the thorough en-
fOrcement OF the law. This is the con-
fessIon of a friendly journal. the Spring
field Republican, which in conclusion says:

that there are in the popular mind several
questions which practically ob.itcrate this
one by their trsn.cendens importance as
political issues.
Writing Of prohibition in lows, Gov
ernor John y. Irwin says in the April
Forun that il has wrought infinite social
and moral mischief. and has won the
doubtful glory of making Iowa 4 doubtful
state. The great cause of the decay Of
Republican majorities in Iowa is the
working of the law prohibiting the manu-
facture and sale of liquors of any kind
within the state. The prohibitory law at
one blow destroyed the value
of the hundreds of thousands

It looks now as If the Democracy e1-
pected TO Offset the possible loss of New
York by the possible gain Of Illinois and
Wisconsin.
Certain Democratic papers charge that
Cleveland supporters calculate that he
would be beaten in the electoral vote, but
his nomination would stir up so much
Democratic opposition in states where the
Farmers Alliance is strong that the Peo-
pies ticket would carry those states.
Some votes would be drawn from the
Democrats by this process, but some
would also be drawn from the Repub-
%licans, it is calculated, so that the election
would be thrown into the House. Then,
the Cleveland men reason, the enormous
Democratic majority in the present House
would elect Mr.. Cleveland without any
hesitation. The New York Tribune r~ecites
these features OF the scheme and then de-
nounce it as at war with common sense,
and concludes as follows:
II is not to be expected that free silver Demo
Gratis, Alliance Democrats, or other Democrats
who defeat Mr. Cleveland enough 20 bolt their
own party in order to beat him, will stupidity
secure his election by voting for a third candi-
date and throwing the election into the House.
Such men, II they want to beat Mr.. Cleveland
At all, would have sense enough 10 see that they
could do it easily and surely by refusing TO
vote and thus allowing the Republican ticket TO
win, or b. voting for the Republican tickes di-
recttY.

The Prohtbitioaists in Iowa are not a
