A YOUTH stood up on the o'erworked
stump, and sang the old 6. o. p. song;
he sawed the air like the handle to a
pump, and his name was Chester I.
Long. He said he didn't propose to
bore his hearers with stories old, of the
tariff, the transportation rates, or the
value of silver or gold. Those things
he said, were worn out themes, thread
bare, and full of flaws; he would leave
to Calamity and her dreams all that
talk of effect and cause. But what he
would do was something like this:
He would wade right in with both feet,
and slash right and left-whether hit
or miss-and knock Jerry out of his
seat. And farmers who came, to learn
If they could, something new from the
handsome young lad, shook their
heads, and remarked: HE amt no

made glad.

A FOREIGN manufacturer sends
cargo of woolen goods to America.
An American merchant buys the lot.
The price the foreigner asks at home
is 0,0O0; but as the tariff on that
class of goods is go per cent. he cannot
land the cargo until he has paid that
so per cent. ad-valorem-or so cent son
the dollar-belng Sc, 900. So he adds
$4,000 to the s1O,O 900; collects from the
American merchant $4,000, pays
$6, 900 into the U. S. treasury and goes
home with the $4,000. Does the mer-
chant mark his goods according to the
foreigners selling price, or according
to the price he, the American merchant
pays for the goods? The latter of
course; and when he sells the goods to
the retailer, the retail merchant marks
the same cost, with the proper charge
by the wholesaler added. When those
goods are placed on sale on the coun-
tiers of our town merchants the so per
cent tariff Is still sticking to them, and
the man who wears the goods finds il
there, and it is only wiped off when
the goods are worn out. Is there a :
republican reader of this paper who
will still contend that the foreigner
pays the tariff" Some one will say,
but we don't buy foreign goods.''
If such man will just refer to the re-
ports made by republican officials, he
will learn the amount of money Uncle
Sam collects yearly on imports of for
eign WOODEN goods. When he has found
the amount, then let him teIl.what be-
comes of those goods, if we do not buy
them. What are they sent to our
shores for if not for sale?

For the first time in her history this
city was unable to take care of the
wheat that was on the market Satur-
day. Several loads had to be taken
back to the country. Every elevator
and empty building in the city were
packed full and no cars to relieve them
of their burden.

favor of being elected.

and dead shots with Winchesters, mounted
horses and started In hot pursuit of the
bandits. Word to this effect came into town
several days ago. but the matter has been
kept quiet pending the result of the chase,
as Evans and Sontag are known to be close
readers of the newspapers. and the pur-
suers did not want their movements to be-
come known to the bandits. All the

becoming known to the fugitlveS, and so
upon taking the deSperadoes off their guard.

Special to THE MORNING CALI.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The week politically
closes upon the situation congested with
the possibilities and probabilities OF the
coming week. The foreground Of the polit-
lcal field at present is occupied chiefly by
the Democratic generals. The Republican
forces lie back and watch and wait the
movements Of their adversaries. The gath
ering here of the Democratic State and Ma
tional Committeeman, and the presence of
Cleveland and Hill all contribute to the
growing interest Of the present Democratic
movements here. The arriving of Demo-
cratic clubmen for the next weeks meeting
also adds to the spectacle Of the Democratic
s0rtie.
Cleveland has not yet decided how long
he will stay In New York His stay will
be determined In measure by the progress
OF the work on his new city residence. In
any event he will remain here till Tuesday
or Wednesday and attend the convention of
the National Association of Democratic
Clubs. Since bis arrival he has seen nearly
all the Democratic leaders Of the city and
State, and large number of prominent
politicians engaged In the work of the ma
tional campaign. The political conditions
in all parts of the country have been laid
before Cleveland by the Democratic Ma
tional Campaign Committee. and he Is said
60 be we'll pleased with the outlook, espe-
cially in this State and the Northwestern
States, which the Democrats hope TO carry.
He told Dor M. Dickinson yesterday that

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-Cleveland has so far
refused to interfere with the work of the
Syracu Sc convention. His friends say it is
his intention to keep his hands off local
politics and leave the municipal fight to the
men engaged In II. He is confident the
State will go Democratic whether there is a
third local ticket or not The talk about
his being averse TO q ticket in opposition to
Tammany is pure con lecture, based on the
statements of Chairmen Harrity and Dick
lands sentiments.
1t Is not altogether certain that third
ticket will be put in the field. Last night
the Syracuse convention men continued the
committee which called on the National
Committee and instructed 1t to confer with
the other Democratic organizations This
may or may not mean a combination with
the County Democrats and Voorhies Demo-
crats. The question will be decided during
the coming week.
The general opinion to-day is, II Cleve-
laud pursues the policy of noU-interference
Tammany will have fight on its hands
this year. Croker says he does net care
whether there is third ticket or not so
far as Tammany Is concerned. but he is
apprehensive that the fight among the
Democrats might result in the loss of the
Legislature ana a United States Senator.
The State committee Is apparently not
taking any interest in local affairs. Its
work Is confined 10 the State above Har-
lem River. and 1t has lett New York's
City's affairs to Tammany Hall. 1t Is
