ABOUT TlN-PLATE.

We are periodically told by Re
publicans that the Mckinley tariff
has placed American tin-plate on
top, and that our country is now in
dependent Of Great Britain for this
very useful article. Only few
days ago the dispatches announced
that a vessel laden with tin-plate
had cleared from Cardiff for an
American port, and ere this time
her cargo has been safely landed in
the United States; all of which ac-
counts for the milk in the cocoanut
Every inch Of that tin-plate will be
sold as the genuine American arti-
Gle by the bogus tin manufacturers
of the United States. Even some
Of our Southern Republicans make
some delightful arguments on this
subject, and would hayeyou believe
that they have confidence in this
thing Of American TIM" and they
think that the G. o. p. has made a
ten-strike on that clause Of the Nc
Kinley bill. In Congress the tin
plate question was up before the
House, when a Republican from
the West produced ffty-pound
sample Of tin ore, said to be from g
mine in his State, and exhibited il
as the clinching complement to the
claim that the United States were
now free and independent of all the
world and the crest Of mankind fol
material for tin-pails. That fellow
is not considered much of finish.

plant and Albino children.

No doubt the action of the Will
hanson County Democrats was a
surprise for BUCHANAN's admirers
and a sore disappointment for the
governor. But there are still 9TH

surprised if the next Democratic

will be Democrat.

When we consider the over-pro-
duction of cotton in the United
States is it any wonder that the
price Of the feecy staple has gone
down SO low that it is ruinous to
the farmers Of the South to grow it.
The report Of the statistician Of
the Department Of Agriculture, at
Washington, says that the produc-
ton Of 1890 exceeded the consump-
ton by 100000 bales, and the in
crease in visible stock in 1891 was
over 100000 bales. Such over
production is simply appalling to
the Southern farmer. The South
has SO rapidly increased its produc-
ton Of cotton that the consumption,
which must also have greatly in
creased, has been unable to keep up
with it. tits true that the mills of
Great Britain have been very lib
orally supplied with the raw mate
rial raised in India during the past
twenty-five years When cotton
was king and the war Of rebellion
broke out, the English manufact-
urers we're forced to turn to India
for supplies. That country, up tc
this time, had only grown cotton il
small quantities. But the high
prices it attained during the wal
served to establish it as a perma
nent industry, and since then the
cotton crop Of India has steadily
increased. Whilst the market has
had this important accession to it
supply, the South has developed
capacity for raising cotton on
scale such as was never dreamed o
before the war. What will be til,
| result Of this over-production o
cotton? This is a serious problem
with which the farmer in the Soutl
is confronted. The cotton planta
tons will either have to be turne,
l to other uses, or left untitled.

The scheme heretofore adopted
by the third party heelers in the
Alliance Of getting so-called infu-
entail Democrats here and there to
flop over on their side Of the fence
with great flourish Of trumpets, is
too old q trick to fool the people
with now. They must consult with

Manager Buckenberger Will Leave This
Evening for the Gathering at Chicago.
Manager Buckenberger, of the local base
ball club will leave for Chicago this even
ing to attend the annual meeting OF the
9-club League. He anticipates that some
,nportant questions will be discussed al
nOugh he WAS not prepared to definitely
iame the questions. He is of opinion that
he la-club arrangement will continue
for another year, because of the financial
obligations that each of the dozen clubs is
.nder. He also thinks there will be some
title changes made in the playing rules.
1t is admitted to be fact that if the debt
-hich now burdens the League had not ex-
ted there would have been no more of the
2-club League system. All thoughtful and
intelligent patrons of the national game are

NEW HAVEN, CONN.,, Nov. 14-Angelo
Petrillo was hanged in the New Haven
county Jail yard this forenoon. The drop
fell at 10:40 o'clock. At 1866 the body
was cut down and life pronounced extinct
by the surgeons in attendance. Petrillo,
previous to the murder, was employed at
Sargent's hardware mandatory, and was
quite gambler in his leisure hours. It
was on account of loss of 5000 at monte,
at which he was an expert thrower, that
led Petrillo to kill his brother-in-law,
Michael Demeo, who put up a job on him
with New York professional gambler
The crime was committed April Is, 1891.
Demeo and his brother were riding when
Petrillo met them. An Italian woman who
witnessed the tragedy from her yard, saw
PetrilIo grasp Demeo by the arm and
heard him say: 'If you don't give ME my
money, 5000, you stole from me Ill drop
you like pear" Demeo replied, '.I have
not got your money! Then PetriIlo shot
Demeo and ran. He was captured that
night just as he had completed pre- parations
for flight. He was convicted at the October
term in 1891 and sentenced to be hanged

He Appears Before the Court a Second
Time on the Charge of Murder.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 14.-The second
trial of Maurice Sterlnger, better known
as N. B. Curtis, the actor familiar to Amer
lean audiences from his play ''Sam'l. of
Posen," and who is charged with having
shot and killed Policeman Alexander
Grant on the night of September II, 1891,
came up before Judge Murphy, of the Su-
preme Court. to-day.
Curtis is charged with having killed the
policeman while resisting arrest for disor-
derly conduct. At former trial, in which
the jury disagreed, the defense aimed to
show that the policeman was shot and
killed by footpad, and that the arrest of
Curtis was case of mistaken identity. The
proceedings to-day were confined to secur-
ing. jury, task which is expected to oc-
cupy most of the week.
