Blocking II. Own Game,


That's what the Democratic party is
doing, very effectually. In its national
convention it snubbed and maltreated
the New York delegates, offended Hill
and Tammany, and destroyed all pros
poets Of carrying that State. 1t
adopted . free trade plank that will be an
impossible barrier to its success in the
other close Eastern States. It has thus
barred itself out Of the places where 1t
has customarily gone for it's best sup
port, aside from the solid South.
To compensate for this loss 1t must
make important gains somewhere else.
1t must carry Western States which
have ordinarily gone Republican. What
is the prospect In this directionp What
has 1t to offer in the way Of inducements
to the West? The free trade plank will
probably be claimed as o bid for Vest
ern support. But the West is not con.
corning itself much about the tariff now;
1t Is interested in finance. What has
Democracy to offer In the line Of finance
that will attract the West?
The candidate and the platform prom.
Use nothing. In fact, they are Q guar.
anty that. II Democracy wins. the West
has nothing to expect except that the
government will be steered further

Still, IL Congress had taken favorable

realization of the ideal Of justice The
intent Of the Michigan Constitution in
qualifying the ideal standard by the
word practicable, or by such an equiv
alent expression as the words sas nearly
as may be" in. the New York Constitu-
ton, was to give the legislature no ex-
cuse for complaining that 1t had not the
constitutional power to be fair. Such
language is intended to enable legisla-
lures to approach perfect honesty in
apportionment, not to enable them to
get away from 1t.
The law laid down by the Supreme
Court of Michigan ought to be just as
readily recognized as the law Of New
York. A constitution is by it's very ma
ture based upon the principle Of the
equal rights Of citizens Of the common
wealth constituted, and the right Of
equal representation is necessarily in
tended and implied because that Is the
right preservative of all rights" To
strike at it is to strike at the very root Of
oil government. It is no less than trea-
son. II it can not be punished as the
crime that it is. it can certainly be OUT
lawed and nullified by the highest court
OF the State. II the criminals cannot
be put in prison they can at least be
prevented from keeping themselves on
the throne of power.-New York Press.

Ridiculous Lying.

The Bourbon majority Of tho House
Committee ON Agriculture do not seem
70 realize the absurdity of asking the
American people to accept and act upon
partisan assertions which directly OPP
pose facts known to the whole country.
It was smart politics to assert vehe-
mently in the fall Of 1880 that the Nc
Kinley law would so anger and turn
against the United States all the ma
tons Of the earth that we must lose our
foreign market. Then there was enough
color Of probability about the predic-
tons Of Democratic writer's and speak
ers to make their bold and ceaseless
iteration OF dismal prophecies effective
IN IN election. Now every man who
has the least knowledge OF current
events is informed that the exc
ports Of the United States have been

Mckinley law than ever before.

In War.

Considerable attention has been
given in recent years to the methods
Of carrying on communication be-
tween points in time of siege. A
French Investigator strongly recon-
mends the use of carrier pigeons for
transmitting messages. and gives a
map of Europe with the projected
stations for pigeon service marked.
During the siege of Paris the method
of communication was carried on and
a.distinct pigeon post was organized,
the letters, at the cost of ten cents q
word, being sent into the city with q
great degree of rapidity.
The letters, which we're limited to
twenty words, were set in type and,
after a reduced photograph was made,
the film was removed from the glass
and inclosed in small quilts, which
were then attached to one of the tail
feathers of the bird. So complete
was the organization that many
Thousand letters were sent in this
way. There is no special skill re-

a whole page Of a newspaper to such
dimensions as would enable IL to DO

without New York.

The Democratic papers which are try
ing to figure out how they san put
Cleveland In the Presidency without se-
the electoral vote Of New York
have engaged in a task which is beyond
their powers. In order to win there are
DAB electoral votes to be secured. The
solid South, with Connecticut and New
Jersey. have only IT'S votes. or forty
eight less than the number necessary to
elect. Under the district system Of
voting for President which prevails in
Michigan, the Democrats will secure
three or four votes in that State. Let us
call the number five, and make the DEM
cratic total $50 votes. Thus 1870 are as
sured tho Democrats without any ques-
ton. The Republicans are not claiming
any OF the ex-slave States. nor are they
counting on carrying either Connecticut
Or New Jersey. while they will lose
some votes in Michigan. But where
are the Democrats going to get the
other forty-three votes which they will
have 10 secure II they are to win? II
we give them Indiana they will stillneed
twenty-eight votes, and il We throw in
Montana, which is considered somewhat
doubtful, they will be twenty-five votes
short yet. In what quarter should they
look for enough votes to fill this gap?

ssQueer experiences" said Henry
Cooper, a retired Boston sea captain,
as ho rolled to a seat in the rotunda
of the Southern. well, I had one
that was queer enough. 1t was in
the SOS, while / was a man before

Havana for voyage to Good Hope,
but tSe didn't go there. We went up
to Congo and got a cargo Of slaves.
The queer thing Of it all was that
the crew never got sight Of the cap
tain and when the first mate came on
deck he wore a mask. The craft, q
swift sailor, was apparently unarmed.
but a twist OF two with a handspike
was sufficient to bring six ugly-look-
ing. eighteen-pounders on deck. We
were not molested, however, and on
our return we stood off the coast OF
Cuba and all the crew but four wero
sent ashore in the longboat. As we
passed into the boat the masked mate
put an envelope into each mans hand.
Mine contained $25O."-St Louis

He YVES Not 8 .Quitter..

A certain young society man of the
North End, says the Providence Tele-
gram, has acquired considerable
reputation among his lady friends as
a late slayer, remaining wherever he
called until III and even IL O'Clock at
night. His popularity was much
commented on by his friends, who
finally hit upon a plan to cure him.
One evening he called at'the resi-
dence Of one Of his acquaintance and
settled down to enjoy his visit. Be-
ing a ready talker the evening slipped.
by unheeded, and 9, 10 and II o'clock
the mantel.
At 1880 o'clock p. m. the young
lady appeared agitated and glanced
nervously around as though expect.
ing something to occur shortly.
Shortly afterward the girls father
entered the room and proceeded to
wind up the clock. This finished, he
commenced an inspection of the win
dows, securing them for the night
and looked after the doors.
All these hints were lost on the
young man, who, in his innocence, as
sisted the old gentleman to secure the
windows.
Finally, at IL o'clock, a noise like
thunder was heard, which gradually
resolved itself into the slow strokes
of the hour, evidently produced on
the clothes boiler. At the last stroke
the gas suddenly went out and the
house was shrouded in darkness.
AS the the young man grouped his
way down two flights of stairs he con-
cluded that late calls did not agree
with him, and since this episode he
can hardly be induced to enter the
door Of any Of his lady friends.

G.rrymander.ne IL Unoonst,tuaon.l.

The latest conspicuous step Of the
courts in the direction Of equity and
common sense, as against the technical
tiles Of written law. is q long step, and
one Of the most important, taken in the
history Of the Interpretation OF the law
by the American bench. It is the anti
gerrymander decision OF tho Michigan
Supreme Court, Of which fuller particu-
lars have come to hand. The Demo-
cratic Legislature's aprortionment Of As
sembly and Senatorial districts Is de-
clared unconstitutional, not on any
technical point. but on the general pre-
sumption that it is the pur pose Of the
constitution Of a free commonwealth to
make representation equal. and that tho
ratio OF representation which it provides
for shall govern the apportionment as
for as practicable.

or course the boast that MASSACHUSETTS,

OF course the boast that Massachusetts
or Iowa will go Democratic are tales for
the political marines. None of the old
salts like Cleveland, Harrity or Brice
believe anything Of the kind. II the
Democrats this year carry any State
that has heretofore been Republican
they will be ven more surprised than
the Republicans at the result.
Turn whatever way they will, the
Democrats are confronted with the fact
that they cannot win without the cleo
toral vote OF New York. They pretend
to be sure OF securing Indiana, but, as
Is here shown, that State cannot give
them the Presidency. The twenty-eight
votes which they would still require
would be an insupcrable barrier to sue
eess unless they gained New York.
Without that commonwealth they would
have to carry two or three States hith-
erto Republican In Presidential years,
and, In the present conditions, this is q
task Of formidable proportions. Allow
ing them all the doubtful States except
one. and they are still far from victory.
They must carry every one of them in
order to win. Nor would the capture of
Kansas and Minnesota by Weaver help
them, for the Republicans can spare
these States If they carry New York and
still be above the required 223 mark
There is no hope for victory for the De-
mocracy, therefore, from the Peoples
party diversion. The utmost that that
organization can do, rs the situation
presents itself now. will not throw the
election into the House of Representa-
tives. Evidently the battle at the polls
will be decisive, and the Electoral Col
lege will make the choice for President.
The Republicans can win without New
York, but that State is absolutely essen
ttal to Democratic success. The DEM
ocrats may as we'll face this eventuality
now as later on, for to this complexion
the situation must come at last.-Globe-

called ON Secretary Blaine today and were
presented by Senator Squire. Their errand
here was to ascertain if possible whether
Mr.. Blaine would accept il rendered the
Presidential nomination at Minneapolis.
Their mission was only partially successful,
however, for the Secretary studiOusly
avoided all reference TO the subject and
would return only equivoeal answers to
their interrogatorles. This cOnyinces them
that Mr. Blaine will accept when the time
comes, otherwise he would have had no
hesitancy in announcing himself otherwise.

whom he confided his telegram and asked
their advice. 1t was decided that the situa-
tion in the East regarding the Democratic
Presidential nomination was such as to
make it advisable for the Ex-Governor TO be
on hand to look alter his interests, ard he
will probably leave fer New YORK to-day,
or as soon as he can arrange his busl-
ness interests TO be absent 1t Is
understood that the Ex-Governor has
been Informed that Mr. Cleveland has be-
come convinced that it will be impossible
for either Hill or himself to carry New
York, and that new candidate must be
selected. He has determined TO write a
letter to this effect and it Will shortly ap-
pear. In that letter he will discreetly allude
TO the troubles of the New York Democracy,
and gracefully withdraw from the race, but
in doing so he will place the tariff question
right at the front in the issues of the day,
and deprecate the discussion Of the silver
question at this time
