ment control over an election in sov- ereign state. In an almost impossible emergency, in the event of some state not sending representatives to congress, the general government might arrange for an election in that state. In every complicated machine are valves which are used only in dire emergency, and the constant use of which would destroy the machine. For 101 years this valve of the government machine had never once been touched until our Republican friends sought to lay unholy hands upon it in time of peace and in the midst of quiet. Patriots may well tremble when they realize how near it came to falling into those same hands.
 GUARD THE CONSTITUTION.
 How can any citizen hesitate when confronted by issues like these, which in- volve the integrity of the constitution? No man is bad enough, no organized so- ciety is bold enough, to announce with drawn sword that the constitution has outlived it's time and that freedom must again be put in chains. The hostile ap- proach to the stronghold of liberty is by unseen and underground mines. Let US be mindful of the solemn instruction of our leaders to guard well the consti- tution-let there ring in our ears the philosophical teachings of Jefferson, the strong injunctions of Jackson, the thoughtful messages of Tilden, and, in these present days, the courageous sum- mons to be true and steadfast coming from that man whose clean and strong hands seem made for this stalwart sup port-Grover Cleveland.

AN agitation has again commenced in Sing Sing, N. Y., in favor of changing the name of the place'on account of the general association with the state pris- on- The argument is raised now that the name Sing Sing is a greater detri- ment to the growth and prosperity of the place than the presence of the pris- on even, and that if the village were re- christened the influence of the prison in making it undesirable as a residence place would be neutralized to a great degree. One of the principal arguments raised is that the name keeps factories from locating there, and has had largely to do with the removal of those that have been there. Many people in that place are ashamed when at the hotels

The Consumers Interests.

It is only natural, if amusing, that the high tariff organs which have been con verted to the doctrine that cheapness is 8 good thing should frequently relapse into their former evil ways of life and speech. The Tribune backslides and talks in the good old way about 'the selfish interests of the consumer" Now the consumer is a very easy person to abuse. He has no ''pull." He does not lift up his voice in the streets. As a lobbyist he cuts no figure. He never visits party managers and threatens them with defeat. He simply goes on his sell fish, groveling way and drops in his vote against the party that treats him as its lawful prey. And as his class is by far the most numerous, it's votes have way of piling up alarmingly. Yet it is great fun to sheer at him, he is so uncomplain- ing. In fact, if only he were not allowed to vote, and were not so persistent in asking when the consumer was going to get his share of protection, more ideal butt for politicians could not be imag

A FEW days ago 'Lige Halford, the pre- ident's private secretary, gave out a short, but very carefully worded inter- view, in which he stated in substance that instead of being opposed to mem- bers of the cabinet and other prominent officials going on the stump, as had been reported, the president strongly favored their taking that method of rendering an account of their stewardship to the people. Now, wasn't that neat way of notifying the officials to get up and hustle? It had an immediate effect, and about every official who is of suffi- cient prominence to be listened to has already made arrangements to take the stump.

DURING the last serious cholera epi demic in Paris it was estimated by the local physicians that the chance that an acclimated person, living in clean quarters and observing even ordinary sanitary precautions, would contract the disease was about one in one thou sand. Unacclimated Americans were said to run one chance in five hundred and an American, some years resident in Paris when the outbreak came, re- ports that no one with whom he was acquainted in the slightest degree, whatever his walk in life, was seized with the disease. Still Americans left Paris in swarms. One, who fled, and encountered the outbreak in Spain, says a New York paper, saw his landlord stricken down and carried out dead of cholera in few hours. He had per sisted in eating raw fruit against re- peated warnings from the physicians.

DEACON IS WORRIED.
Afraid That He win Lose His Sus
 Against His Wife.

Afraid That He Will Lose Ills Suit
 Against His Wife.
 CANNES, Oct. 12.-Edward Parker Dea- con, whose case against his wife for crim- inal adultery with M. Abeille will be tried tomorrow, has arrived here and taken rooms at the Hotel des Princes. Mrs. Deacon is expected to reach here to- day.
 Mir. Deacon looks worried and anxious. He told the correspondent that he feared he would lose his case in consequence of the persistence of the Abeille3 family to turn public opinion against him. The Abeilles, he says, have already spent 300, 900 francs in opposing him.
 On the press alone they spent 120, 900 francs, and the result has been a news paper campaign against him, which caused his Imprisonment and is likely to cause the dismissal of the present charge against his wife. Everybody who has shown him kindness, Mir. Deacon says, has been attacked by the editors in the pay of the Abeilles.
 The coming trial will be before & bench of judges and without jury, but, Mr. Deacon says, the judges have been so prejudiced by the misrepresentations of the press that, even with the best inten- tions, they can hardly treat him impar- tially.
 In expectation of prejudice Mr. Deacon has brought here with him a dozen wit nesses from Switzerland, the Riviera and other localities, where Mrs. Deacon and M. Abeille were together. He has also his stenographer, who will take down for him the testimony of' these witnesses as to the criminal intimacy of the couple.
 If beaten at the trial tomorrow he will take the stenographer's reports to the United States with him and use them as evidence in 8 suit for divorce. In fact, MT. Deacon says, he regards the Grasse court more in the light of a com mission for taking evidence than as a judicial tribunal to give an impartial de- cision upon his case.
 Last Monday MT. Deacon visited his eldest daughter, who is at school in Paris. While he was with her Mrs. Dea con called and was shown into the room. There was 8 violent scene, in which the daughter learned for the first time of tn, cause of the trouble between her father and mother. Finally, MT. Deacon ordered Mrs. Deacon out of the house. usss MT. Deacon vows that, law or no law | he will have his children. He says ht will not even give up the baby now witt | it's mother.
 The local interest in the case is intense The Abe1lle family are seeking to pacl the court room with their friends, and tc prevent the admission of press represent atives, lest the truth about the guilt 0 M. Abeille should be laid before the pub | lie

A YOUNG man passing through 8 crowd in a great dry goods store the other day found himself side by side with timid-looking little man, and exactly behind lady. A movement of the crowd forced the young man to step upon the hem of the lady's skirt. She turned quickly around, with furi- ous look, and was evidently about to address some fierce remark to him, when a change came over her face sud- denly. "Ohl beg your pardon, sir" she sad; ''I was going to get very an- gry. You see, I thought it was my husbandl" 1t is but reasonable to in- fer from the woman's words that her husband was a man who was to be pitied.

CAPTIVITY IS made as endurable as possible for the Apache Indians, who, with their brutal Chief Geronimo, are confined at Mount Vernon, near Mobile The officers of the post have taken an interest in their welfare and provided them with comforts. Geronimo has been the gardener of the garrison, and has become noted locally as maker of canes. To add to his dignity, said a re- cent report, he has been made justice of the peace to sit in judgment over offenders of his tribe.

APoLoGlzEs TO LIZZIE BORDEN.

The Boston "Globe" Declares That 1t
 Was Greatly Deceived.
 BOSTON, Oct. 12.-The "Globe" pub fishes an editorial apology for it's publi- cation of the statement in the Borden case. It says:
 "The Globe feels it plain duty, as an honest newspaper, to state that it has been grieviously misled in the Lizzie Borden case It published on Monday communication that it believed to be true evidence. Among all the imposi- tions which newspapers have suffered, this was unparalleled in it's astonishing completeness and it's irresistible plausi- bility. Judging from what we have heard, it impressed our readers as strik ingly as it did the Globe Some of this remarkably ingenious and cunningly con- trived story is undoubtedly based on facts, as later developments will show. M M''The Globe believes, however, that much of it is false and never should have been published. The 'Globe,' having been misled, has innocently added to the terrible burdens of Miss Lizzie Borden So far as it is in our power to repair wrong we are anxious to do so, and hereby tender her our heartfelt apology for the inhuman reflection upon her honor as a woman. and for any injustice ! the publication of Monday inflicted upon her.
 "And the same sincere apology is ten dered Mr. John V. Morse and any other persons to whom the publication did an | injustice"
 The "Globe'' under a headline saying that the story had been proven wrong in some particulars, says:
 Detective E. G. McHenry furnished the Globe with the Borden story pub lished Monday morning. He admits 1t in ! an interview published herewith. He also asserts that the facts are true. He states that the names and residences of alleged witnesses were purposely given wrong for obvious reasons.
 "The 'Globe,' in the course of it's ill vestigation into the details of the story, intervie wed Dr. and Mrs. Bowen and Rev. ! MT. Buck on the question of Lizzie Bor- den's physical condition at the time of the murder, the result of which was the conviction that in this respect at least MT. McHenry was wrong. The story may be wrong in some other minor particu- lars, but the weight of evidence favors the main facts as true"
 "And now for the purpose ot ferreting out the murder in the Borden case the Globe has ngaged the best detective talent available"
 A statement by Henry G. Trickey, the reporter who signed Mondays story, is appended and is to the effect that hs paid detective McHenry $500 for the story and giving the details of the bargain.

waalth in tha united statea.

From year to year the United States produces more and more of the ele- ments of wealth. One years abundance becomes almost ridiculous compared with the next year's- Treasury depart ment statistics for the year ended with June 30, 1899, showed that our country exported nearly three times as much wheat as it did during the previous year--in round numbers one hundred and fifty million bushels in place of fifty millions. The increase in the export of corn was almost in the same proportion, and of breadstuffs of all kinds we sent abroad almost three hundred million dollars worth in the year ended with June, in place of one hundred and twenty three million dollars worth in the preceding year. For not only was the export of food vastly increased, but the farmers obtained, in spite of this be- wildering abundance, higher average price for the leading cereals and other products. For meat products, we ob- tained from other countries three times as much money in 1S91-92 as in 1s9o-91- twelve million dollars instead of four millions Such figures as these, says a writer on monetary matters, should make us jubilant. They involve tremen- dous national responsibility. Are our great blessings always made use of to the best advantage? Are we husbanding the sources of production so we'll cal culated to make our country the best as we'll as the richest in the world, or are we squandering and impairing them? The abundance of the great year of plenty" still affords us mate rial for thanlzfulness in the year which is now following it; but 1t also affords us material for deep thoughtfulness as 8 nation.
