To stcnl Now York.

Not satisfied to rcdistrict the state in
q way which the luGwump Times de-
clares TO DO unfair, the lower house Of
tho Now York legislature has passed n
bill which can have but ono object, to
steal the state Of New, York fol, the
Democratic presidential nominee
There will DO M effort Nil over the
state to do tho stealing, but the job is
TO be madc sure in tho Tammany city
Of New York. There nro now ut each
polling place four inspectors, two Demo.
Gratis and two Republicans. Tho Tam
many bill now on Its passage in Albany
cuts out ono Republican and author
izos tho police commissioners to ap-
point two Democrats and one Repub.
lican. T.
Tho police commissioners are Tam
many creatures and will do It's bidding.
Mono but Tammany henchmen will DO
put on guard, and Tammany will see
that they arc men who will do tho steal
ing. The Albany correspondent Of the
Herald says this is ono OF tho measures
which Hill pledged himself "to put
through" The Democratic World says:
In connection with legislation at Albany this
year Mr.. Croker has shown In u conspicuous
way that he possesses power which has no
rtghtiul place under popular form OF govern.
mcnt.
This Is arbitrary rule, not popular government.
The people do not want that Kind OF thing, and
will not permanently endure 1t. MIR. Croker md
the other leaders oughtto be clever enough TO
understand this
This from the Mugwump Times is in
structivo and straight out from the
shoulder:
passed Is that which provides for reducing the
number OF election inspectors In this city IRON
four to three in each district and for securing to
the Tamniany organization two Of these In all
portant safeguard for fair and honest elections,
and iswIolly without excuse. Tammany can.
not claim that the present law has not worked
fairly or that 1t has been deprived of any advan-
tnge to which 1t was entitled. Itcan have no
honest motive in seeking prcponderancc for
Itself in the election boards which ought 10 be
strictly non.partisan. f
Hon. Charles S. Fairchild, secretary
OF the treasury under President Cleve-
land, denounccs the measure. Flo says:
The process of election Is judicial one and
cannot be made TO take on q political character.
Tho proposal Is TO reduce the number OF inspec.
tors on the boards OF elections from four to
three destroys the fairness of the institution,
and Is In opposition to tho first principle OF gov
eminent by popular will. Tho bill Is thorough
~ bad.
E1.Mayor Abram S. Hewitt, another
distinguished Democrat, speaks in the
same VEIN: tA'. S.-i -,
It was not intended for any good purpose, and
] do not think that 1t would pass the assembly
] do not think any fairminded man is in favor
OF It. The present system is all right. and II 1t
cannot be rcmediedit should be let alone.
Tho intent Of this Tammany atrocity
is to show that under any circumstances
Hill can carry New York, having the
machinery to do it.

She Got There.

In yesterdays mad rush for slice of
tho little free land that is left the
American girl got there ahead Of all
competitors. The romance OF tho case
is,heightened by the fact that she has
Just suspicion OF Indian blood in hel
veins, which makes her uli he-more
American.
OF course she is beautiful, and that
helps again. Moreover she is a uni.
versity girl. Doubtless she pulled the
stroke oar in her varsity crew, and
who knows but she was the best foot
ball man of them all? Our girls arc all
right. They can't be kept down.

A NV 9ery OF the Sea.

From information given 10 tue Plovel
it appears that early this year, in Janu
arY, the Italian bark, Luigi RATA, from
Batavia to Antwerp with copra, arrived
in very leaky and unseaworthy condi
ton. The bark anchored, and those on
board were taking such steps as were
possible in so primitive a settlement a.
the Cocos to make her comparatively I'll
for sea, when a heavy northeast swell
set in and put her on reef near her an.
chorage and she shortly became wreck.
The crew WAS fairly large one, consist
ing of eighteen, all told, of yariom
nationalities, and Nj. Ross, who gov.
erns the Cocos, soon found that his en-.
forced guests were becoming a serious
nuisance. AS the only means of getting
rid of them, he proposed that the,
should take his schooner, the j. q.
Ross, and return in her 10 Batavia,
proposal that was very readily accepted.
The J. q. Ross was, or is, very we'll
found vessel She has a tonnage oil
17S, is classed A l at Lloyds, aud once
accomplished the voyage from the Coco,
to England, and as, added to thiss she
was built in the Cocos, under the super.
vision Of Mr.. Ross, he was particularly
fond of her. Neither the J. G. Ross
nor her very varied crew has been seen
or heard of since
A peculiar feature Of the affair is that
though the Luiga Raffa was a ship oil
700 or 1000 tons and had valuable car
90, those interested have been unable TO
discover her agents in the Eas. or hei
owners in Italy Straits Settlement,

What S.. all the Answer, Be?

Here are some questions that Demo-
cras can ask their pro:ectionists friends
when discussing the tariff question
during this campaign:
Are not the wages In free trade
ENGLAND higher than in any of the pro.
tec.ed countries of Europea
Have not wages in this country alw avs
been higher than in England since the
Ola. flower landed.
Were not American wages in 1860,
when we had a revenue tariff. higher IL
proportion to those Of Englari than
they are now.
Are not wages as rule lowest n tn,
countries with the highest tariff, like
Russia, Mexico and China, where foreign
trade is restricted as far as possible. s
Did not the farmers own good deal
bigger share of the wealth OF the coan-
try in 1860 than they do now2
Why have wheat and wool beea
dropping in price since the adoption of
his bill2
What good do the duties on wheat
and wool do, the farnerl
Why has the price of cotton declined
one half IN the last year or two2
Why were our exports of tlnware to
Canada reduced from S75, 119 in 1890
to $40, 671 in 1S913
II there are 2S5, 900 men in New
York State who have had their wages
raised by the Mckinley bin, why is it
that none of them can be found to
acknowledge 1ta

Which Horn7

Every protection puadox presents a
sharp horned dilemma
If the tariff is not tax how can it
produce revenue2
If taxing an article tends to make it
cheaper how does it enable the manufac ;.
turer to pay higher wagesl
If the tariff has raised wages, thus
adding to the cost of production. hoy
can prices be lower2
When the price of farm produce went
up under McKinleyism. how could the
cost of living go downf Now tha. the
price Of foodstuffs is going down is the
cost of living rising again'
If our imports have increased, as the
protectionists now boast, how has the
tariff secured the home market TO our
manufacturers or protected wage earnsrs
against>the competition of paaper labor
abroadl
II our manufactures can, as the STA
tistics show. produce many staple az
ticles more caeap.y than they can ta
made abroad why do they neei high
TARIFF
II high tariffs make high wages why
are wages in Germany and in France SO
much lower than in England'
Finally, as we have often asked with
out an answer, if the foreigner pay se
duty why did Mckinley leave the treas
sury so short of monesf

hornhook Primers.

Hornbooks were used as primers until
rather more than century ago; aal in
their time school children had no use for
satchels, as the one book usually had
hole at the end CT the handle for a string
to pass through, by which it was fastened
to the waist or girdle. Some old pic
lures Of children show the ancient primer
thus attached. These books are now
very rare, but there is a copy in the
British Museum that was found some
gears ago in the walls OF an old farm
house by a laborer who was pulling them
down. 1t is one of the best specimens,
in frame of black oak, with the horn
cover in front; ard tie back has por-
trait OF King Charles l. on horseback.

can secure the necessary votes in Con.
gress, so the Democratic Party is now
as definitely committed to the policy o:
restricting taxation to the needs of the
Government for public purposes alone.
The gulf fixed between these two poll.
cies OF taxation is as wide ana deep as
can well exist between political parties.
and | am also convinced that the old
causes in which am interested cannot
hope for success until the avowed policy
of the Republican Party on this subject
is overthrown
Until then the light of each State to
control elections within its bord will
not be secure. Until then tt ere is 90
prospect of our enjoying the single and
stable standard Of value which other civ.
ilized and commercial Nations possess.
Until then there is no hope of placing
either our pension system or the regu,a.
tion of immigration upon a just and
proper basis. Until then the puri6ca-
tion of our politics will continue "the
iridescent dream" which high Republi-
can authority has declared it must al
ways remain. Until then any pretended
reform of the civil service must prove,
as it has proved this last four years, q
delusioI and snare.
And until then even ballot reform, the
best help yet discovered to honesa cleo
tions, and already threatened with over.
throw by the Republican managers in
Maine, Vermont, and Indiana, must
share the same fate of betrayal in the
house Of its pretended friends. All these
causes are, in the very nature of things,
the relentless foes of asystem of govern
ment by bounties to favored interests,
and such system is their relentless foe.
As l believe, for the reasons l have
given, that the true welfare of the coun-
try would be promoted by Mr.. Cleve-
lands election, it is my duty to vote for
him. and as recall the capacity, the
fidelity, and the courage with which he
has heretofore discharged every public
trust committed to him, the duty be.
comes pleasure. Sincerely yours,
WAYNE MAcVEAaH.
