THE official vote Of Kentucky
shows a decrease OF over 1900
from the vote of 1888, which may
he accounted tor by the fact that
under the new voting system
many ballots were thrown out and
many suf1ragists declined to vote
at all. The result shows, how.
ever, y handsome net Democratic
gain. which is indeed gratifying.

THE rise in cotton during the
past few weeks has made the
South about 100000 900 better
Of than it was at the middle OF
October. Anybody can figure il
out for himself on the basis of
1000, 000. bale crop aud an advance
in price from Z cents a pound TO
10 cents. The results TO the SOnth
Of the great Democratic victory |
cannot be so easily calculated vet,

THE remarkable announcement
comes right on the heels of the
recent Democratic victory that
the cotton manufacturers of Rhode
Island and Massachusetts have
decided to raise the wages Of their
operatives. The increase will take
effect on December 8, aud will
average about Z per cent. over
the present scale. Aud the cOun.
try was going TO the demnition
bOw.wOws Immediately after Mr..
Cleveland's election. Somehow
or other these things don't seem
TO consist.
REPUBLICAN papers, since the
election, are citing numerous in.
stances where capitalists were
contemplating the erection Of
large manufacturing establish.
ments, hut decline TO do so now
since Cleveland is elected. If
this is true, and no one thinks 1t
ia, il only serves to show that the
willy Spectator does not expect ,
an honest government to 90 into !
a partnership with him for the pur.
pose of robbing an innocent PEG.
pie. This fact alone should com. I
mend the Democracy TO the PEG. |
pie, aud if the manufacturer can't
make an honest living making ,
hats, nails, or anything else, with.
out the aid Of the Government,
then he should do like others less 3
favored, take his chances In some ,
other business.
CONGRESS, at its last session, {
voted an appropriation To the ,
Worlds Fair. Ii directed that ,
the appropriation should be paid

purpose, and should be composed
of five millions of silver half dol.
lars, to be coined at the mint. with
q special design that should com.
memOrate the four bundredlh an.
Niversary of the discovery of
America by Columbus. The an.
thOrities of the Worlds Fair are
now abOut to receive these coins
from the United States mint, and
are offered for sale to the people
at the uniform price OF 81 each. {
The advance demand has been
great. Nearly one thousand banks
have sent in orders for from fifty
to FIVE thousand coins each at 81
apiece.
The years addition Of $50, 900
pensioners to the rolls, increasing
the total number of pensioners to
S56,0S7, is "A very serious matter
to the people. According 90 Mr..
