Three Drummers,

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Three drummers met, as drummers will.
Who over the country Travelled,
Oshkosh, Ypsilanti, Kalamazoo,
And stories they unraveied.
They talked as only such can talk,
OF houses they represented,
Then compliments in shape of beer
They one aud all presented.
They drank to tho health Of their houses first
Then separately TO each other;
The landlord and cock RBa ohambermaid
And each wandering, struggling brother,
They praised their towns. Then Oshkosh rose
And bowling to Ypsilanti.
"Her sd health-nams beats 'em all,
Klamersrh- er Zhu can't aats."
YpsilanH rose, for his pride was touched,
That his town sueh praise should win il!
shes boil right and sr-sr rise to resplain,
That K&llsrmaseosh ain't in it."
Then Kalamazoo, with feelings hurt
Took the heor, unsteadily held IL,
''If YpsiseotSh shnks she takes the pot"
tAnd wild with rage he yelled it)
''Ypsiotomush 10 blank blank rot"
And three drumners twisted each Others
And Babsl's riot is weak TO mention.
Tho tswn arose and the fire bells rang,
But rhyme ts weak invention
To ring the changes on polyglot words
With three such names beer tangled,
As YB-si-scotch and Zoe-mAkal
And Zan-u-0sh and Sky ms-zoo,
In such q conglomerate wrangle,
They rushed them of to the cooling pen,
The town In an uproar leading,
And all night long through the iron bars
Rushed the three names, torn and bleeding
Twas Scosh-mR-zoe and Yp-sa-loo,
THAN yeu,-yeu Zanti,
I'm Yalla-ma-scosh from Zoo-ma-loo,
Np-bang you see my antel"
The bells rang out and the engines came,
But they could not drown their splutters
And broken alphabet deluged the town
And clegged the sewers and cutters.
30, here's a health to Kalamazoo.
Ypsilanti, and Oshkosh ditto;
The pigs in clover and beer mixed in
Can't best that triangular lingo.

SDoubtful" States.

The thirteen electoral votes Of Iowa are
objects Of much interest among politicians
now. Should Iowa drop her votes into the
Cleveland hat. as seems probable from re-
ports Of conditions there, the democrats
would be safe without some of tho other
states that are possibly closer than Iowa
Indiana, for instance. Gov. Boies has been
making a thorough canvass of the state,
and his friends say his meetings have been
more successful than ever. Prohibition is
welding great influence in this election in
favor of the democrats. The republicans
tried TO hoodwink the cold water people az
the beginning OF the campaign. but their
double dealing was discovered, and now the
prohIbitionists propose to teach them a
lesson. The democrats are confident, though
no predictions, he thinks the outlook Is en-
couraZing.
Besides Iowa the republicans claim that

Carolina and Tennessee are the doubtful
states. It will be noted that they have no.

What Delayed Tariff Reform Means,
EYova TIA Erie (Pa,) Herald CDeDr.l

The manufacturer who is able to read the
signs OF the times must see that postpone
ment Of tariff reform will only make it more
radical when it comes that II the question be
not settled now in accordance with the pro-
gramme proposed by the Democratic party, it
will DO settled in the future according TO a
platform laid down by the American farmers.
The question for the manufacturer TO decide is
whether he would rather have the tariff fairly

have every vestige Of the tariff swept out Of ex-

Gen. James G. Field, the Peoples party
Dominee for Vice President, Is evidently
not very hopeful of the success Of his party
at the November election. He was in Char
lottesville, Va. day or two ago and was
interviewed by a Representative eof the DaiIy
Hecord, OF that city. Being asked as TO the
prospects of tbs Peoples party candidates
Nj Field replied: well, you know the
democrats claim the world, the flesh aud
the devil; we claim the balance" In regard
TO the chances in Virginia he said: at is
hard to determine. The people Of the cities
end towns are all against US, and it is very
hard to get the country people out. The
democrats Of Rockingham will carry that
county" At the election in 1883 Harrison
carried Rockingham by nearly 200 majority
over Cleveland.

The Registration In New York.

ThetWo days registration in New York
! is said to be unprecedented. This year the
| total in New York and Brooklyn is nearly
! Il, 900 greater than for two days registration
in 1883, although the great Columb is L
! celebration vas being held during the time.
/ Both the Democratic and Republican
! parties claim advantages from the heavy
/ registration. but, according TO the Herald,
which probably comes IS near being an i'm
partial observer as any newspaper in either
OF the cities 1t is reasonably clear that the
democratic claim has q better basis Of
probability than the republican. In
creased registration points to an increased
vote, and this In 9 democratio stronghold
like New York and democratic city like
Brooklyn naturally means an increased ma
jority of the dominant party. 1t il res-
sonable 70 expect larger democratic MAORI
ties in these two cities than were secured
In 1885
The Herald makes its comparisons with
the figures Of the presidential campaign OF
1888, and while it says the vote is likely TO
be very heavy and favorable to the demo-
Gratis, it makes no estimate Of what the
democratic majority is likely TO be. The
Sun, however, finds the gubernatorla4
figures Of 1891 fairer basis for COMPARE
son. Then the new ballot law was in opera
ton, as it will be in November. It was not
in operation In 1883. The democratic
majority in New York city in 1891 was
59,5O2, on a total vote Of $4,000. "If the
Same ratio is maintained in 1892 on total
vote Of $3.50 between Cleveland and
Harrison" says the sun, the democratic
majority will be about $4,000. 1t Is true
that Fassett received mugwump and County
Democracy votes which will so to Mr..
Cleveland In November; eut we will allow
these TO be offset by the fuller republican
vote got out In an election for President"
1t looks, therefore, as il the majority for
Cleveland would approximate $1,000, with
the chances that it may be much more, now
that the democracy of New York have been
united and aroused.

The absolute unreliability of Robert p.
Porter's census, or any statistics over his
signature. is made more than ever apparent
by his statistics Of manufactures Of the city
Of Philadelphia. One OF the greatest ship
building firms in the country, if not the
greatest, is William Cramp & Son, at Phil
adelphia. Yet no mention of the firms busi-
ness is made In the census. For some tech
meal reason the figures submitted by the
Cramps did not suit Porter, it is said, SO the
whole thing was left out. -

A Tom Watson boycott.

The circular issued by the Peoples party
executive committee calling for a mass
meeting at Thomson, the home of
Tom Watson, on Oct. g. "for the
purpose OF discussing what action should
be taken in reference to the iutimldations
which it is alleged are being inflicted by
certain merchants, guano agents and money
lenders Of Thomson, upon those who are in
their financial power, 20 prevent the free
exercise by their customers and debtors
Of their political rights" shows the
desperate condition OF Watson's can
vass and the narrow -mindedness Of his
managers. The merchants of Thomson, it
is TO be presumed, are democrats in politics
and business men in business They have
probably required only legitimate security
for advances. and have required that secur-
ity from democrats and populists alike
But the facts that they are democrats and
have asked security at all is to be used by
the third party against them, IL the party
bosses have their way.
The unfairness Of these third party PEG.
pie is glaring. They demand the right to
think as they please and vote as they please,
yet they would deny the merchants the
same privilege. II the merchant exercises
his prerogative as a free man his store will
be boycotted. That is what the circular
means. il it means anything. The leaders
Of the mass meeting will attempt to force
disagreeable politics down the threats of
the men who have befriended the farmers of
the community on numerous occasions.
The scheme should fail. 1t is unworthy
men OF liberal ideas. There is no law fore
ing people to buy from one particular house
and if that house displeasss a patron, let
him quietly drop it and 60 somewhere else
not call all his neighbors and endeavor to
ruin the business by boycott.

have for those things"

Harrison they know that the pension fund 10
