AS ANTICIPATED Governor Hill-he
likes to be called Governor rather than
senator-has made true his famous
words. II am democrat" In his
speech at Brooklyn last night he said IN
effect. that the Chicago convention was
the supreme court Of the democratic
party. and that from its decision no good
and true democrat would think Of APP
pealing. Ex-Governor Hill can give his
hearty support TO Mr.. Cleveland, surely
every other democrat can well afford
to do so.

BOUNTY ON SUGAR.-The applica-
tons for bounty on American sugar are
nearly all in the Treasury Department
for the present fiscal year, and those are
being examined and classified. If the
crop is good one it is estimated that
the amount required to pay bounties
will advance from 81, $40, OF, which was
the sum paid last year, to about ,0Oo,-
Oo0 No attempt will be made this year TO
estimate the number Of pounds to be produc-
cd. The maple sugar presented for bounty
next year will probably be q larger amount
than this year The number who applied for
bounty during the fiscal year. which ended
June 80. was :i240. The number of appli-
plicants for bounty this year is 6f06, and,
apparently, there is more disposition to take
advantage of the bounty system nov that it
is better understood

TEE Now York Herald of yesterday
agreed with the GAZETTE Of several
days before, and announced in large let
tors that there is no cholera in New
York. No, nor has there been. Aud the
newspapers and physicians and board
of health and health officers of that city
have done themselves no credit and
their city no good by saying there has
been. Why should there have been?
London and southampton, at which
vessels from Hamburg have stopped,
and with which communication with
Hamburg is direct and frequent, and
which have established no quarantine
against that city, have no cholera, nor
has there been case in all England;
and why should there be liz this coun-
try, three thousand miles further away?

Senator Hi!I's succci..

There was a great outpouring Of dem
ocrats in Brooklyn last night. The
Academy OF Music could not accommo-
date The crowd that rushed to secure
good positions from which to take in
every action of Senator David D. Hill
in the delivery of an address that has
been awaited anxiously by all demo-
Gratis. Senator Hill received q warm
welcome. He spoke for an hour and
forty minutes. With the exception Of
about ten minutes given to party his
tory, the first hour and a quarter was
devoted to the tariff then ten minutes
to the force bill, and the rest to the
record Of the party in the State.
lie reserved the mention of Mr.
Clevcland's name until the very last
sentence, when he ended with "Wc
must do our utmost 10 elect our hon
ored standard-bcarers, Cleveland and
Stevenson" The effect was like an
electric shock to the great crowd, and
they grew frantic in their applause.
The Senator put them in good humor
By his opening declaration that he WAS
still n democrat rs he was seven
wears ago, a hint still further empha-
sized toward the end when he said that
''the old guard will DO its duty His
reputation OF the Peck report in the
fiat assertion that the Mckinley bill
had not advanced the wares of Il single
man was a point instantly perceived,
and the prophecy that the democracy
would win by q million majority if they
could get the votes of every man who
had his WAGES decreased since the bill
passed evoked a storm of cheers. He
declared that all factional differences
and personal ambitions should be put
aside and every effort made for the sue
cess of the party. Now that the ma
tional convention OF the democracy has
spoken, = the duty of every demo
crat, the Senator holds, to accept its
decision with loyal acquiescence." Tie
has always upheld the obligations that
membership in party imposes. Con-
sistency requires him 10 ratify his
party's action in every particular, and
he does it with exemplary vigor. Fac
tional appeals he says, Should now
cease. the spirit resentment should be
abandoned, State pride should be SUI
bordinated to the general good. real or
ilncied grievances should be dismissed,
personal ambitions should be sacrificed
and individual disappointments should
be forgotten in this great emergency. "
The Senator's adoption of the tariff
plank SIS his theme WAS surprise. The
speech is conceded to be one Of the best
he has delivered in years. His refer
ence to Mr.. Cleveland by implication
were numerous, and they were at once
applauded. There were frequent calls
for cheers for the ex-President from the
audience, which always met with a
vocifcrous and long-repcated response.
Everything considered, the campaign
in Kings county was most ausplcious-
~ opened.
Congressman Breckenridge followed Ssna-
tor Hill in n long and forciblo speech. and at
ts conclusion was heartily appaudcd, and
the meeting adjourned after a brief speech By
Lieutenant Governor Sheehan.

THE REPUBLICANS are not sa.isiled
with the support of all the negroes in
the country, but must have that OF the
Indians also. Fearing thai the demo
Gratis will beat them in their own fast
ness of North Dakota, they have, by
means of Secretary Noble so hurried
the distribution of lands in severalty in
that State that the Indian holders OF
such lands will be entitled to vote at
the coming election, and they say
they have arranged with them to vote
the republican ticket to man. Find
ing that the white people of The coun-
try have discarded them, the republic
cans now rely for success upon negroes
and Indians, and they doubtless now
regret that they rejected the advice of
some of their leaders who desired to
confer the privilege Of suffrage upon
the Chinese who have come here.

Race T.ou blcs in Arkansas.

CAMDEN, Ark, Sept. 2O.-For the
past several days the negroes living in
the southeastern portion of the county,
where they outnumber the white peo-
pie six to one, have been very restless
because of the white-capping of some
of their race on account of their out
rageous behavior, The negroes have
been rowing the country within the
past few days in bards armed to the
teeth and muttcring threats, and on
meeting white people in the road would
insult and threaten them. The whole
matter eliminated Saturday morning
near Rayford, when y battle between
the whites and negroes occurred, nine
of the latter and two whites being
killed and several wounded. The ne
groes after the charge escaped to the
woods. The posse that made the charge
on the belligerent Observation-Disclosures
ing numbered fifty men and was in
command of deputy shcriA,s, og of
whom was wounded. a whitepcoplo's
party man was at the head of the ne
groes and it seems that trouble has been
brewing ever since The last election.

Mr.. Jones, however, is perfectly right
in saying the third party people will

he means they will never elect their

they cast will help to eject Mr. Haili-

Mr.. CARL ScHURz is y German, but
he knows q great deal more about this
country than thrce-fourths of the men
who were born and raised in it. He
says the purchase of voters in blocks

with the grand bargaining of legislation
for material support between the re-
publican party and the moncyed power
profting by the tarifl-a bargain of the
execution of which Colonel Dudley's

The high tariff is pillaging system,

The twenty-sfxth national encampment
may well be called the grandest in the his
tory of the order. Tho attendance was un-
precedented, and Tuesdays parade was un-
doubtedly the greatest event OF the kind
since the grand review in 1865. Every COM
rade in the department may well be proud
of Pennsylvania's showing. In point OF
numbers and soldierly appearance Pennsyl-
vania took the prize with ease. 1t is be-
lieved the department had over 5000 men
in line.
The new national officers are: Commander
in Chief, A. G. Weissert, of Wisconsin:
Senior Vice Commander z. Fl. Warfeld, of
California; Junior Vice Commander, Peter
B. Ayres of Delaware. Commander Weis-
sert has appointed his Adjutant in the
person of E. D. Gray, Of Milwaukee, Wis,
but he has said nothing about the quarter
master generalship.
The election OF Comrade A. P. Burchf1eld,
of Post 102, Allegheny. to the position on the
National Council or Administration made
vacant by the death of Comrade William
McClelland occasions the comrades of this
department. the highest qualification.
The proposition to prevent Past National
and Past Department Commanders from
having O voice and vote in the National En-
campment was overwhelmingly defeated.
This reminds one tnat this is the twelfth
time that this proposition has been downed.
