the great political parties II will also be
unique in being the d Ut in which IL s con-

great political ORGANIZATIONS. One OF tho
three candidates nuas receive a majority Of
fered to the national house of representa-
tives. The advent of the peoples party INTO
national politics has constituted the great
element of doubt in the present contest.
Solid south democracy and solid west re-
publieanism are both menaeed by the en-
eroachments of the populists. and in every
estimate an Interrogation noint must
mark certain states that one or
the other old parties were wont to
claim in the past as Il political heritage. In
the list may be named Alabama, Colorado,
Kansas, Nevada, Sauth Dakota, Nebraska.
Wyoming and Idaho. To the list are added
the old time doubtful states of New York.
New jersey, Indiana, Connecticut, Mon.

BUTTE Nov. 5.-[special. The republi-
cans announced their grand meeting of the
campaign in this olty tonight, with a
monster parade. The result was some dis
appointment. There were 200 tourches
out. headed by the Great Falls f1ambeau

the greatness of the country
and how the republican party was rsspon-
sible for it all. G. S. Hartman, candidate

General Confidence In Kansas.

TOPEKA, Kan. Nov. 5.-The chairman of
each of the three state central committees
expresses confidence in the victory of his
party. Each claims at least the election of
the electoral and state tickets, seven out of
eight congressman and ma jority of the
state legislature. A non-partisan view.
however, indieates that at least five of
seven Congressional districts are altogether
uncertain. Although the tepublican state
central committae is confident of the sue
cess of their electoral ticket conse vutive
lenders admit that it is in doubt. and the
chances seem TO favor Weaver. Trading on
election day will largely determine the fate
of the state and national tickets. The CON
fidence Of the fusion committee in the sue
cess OF their entire ticket Is shown in
their constant advice to trade nothing. Re-
publlcans show their confidence in their
eagerness to secure bets ON the result.

PrTrsBuRa. Nov. s. When court con-
vened this morning the jury in the Iams
case came in and asked leave 10 submit in
writing question which it did not wish to
ask openly. After reading it the judge told
the jury the subject of inquiry was wholly
immaterial. Any other action between the
parties could not enter into the case. The
judge continued as follows: "As to the in
struotions given you TO find the defendants
not guilty of asssult and battery. propose
that YOU obey tho court. You, OF course,
NAV ignore the instructions. You are the
judges of the fact and law, ana not the law
as you think it should be, but what it is.

la the law you want to take. II any man in
this jury thinks he knows more than the
supreme court of the United States. of
course he will stick 30 his opinion. 1t is q
shame, however, that n man with such pro-
found knowledge should waste his time Ia

The court then warned the jury against
the danger of being guided by feelings of
prejudice and the jury retired. returning
shortly afterwards with verdict of moi
guilty."

TORONTO, Nov. 5.-There was consterna-
tion in the stock market on the report of
the British government prohibiting the i'm
portation of live cattle from Canada. The
industry has become one of gigantic pro-
portions. Its sudden check will have ser
ious effect upon the immediate interests of
tho dominion. The slaughter aud ship
ment of the large stocks now on the ocean
will prove almost totat loss 30 the owners.
Great indignation at the action of the Brit
ish government is felt among stockmen,
who claim that the Canadian farmers are
unable to produce corn iii sutlieient guam
titles to compete with the American farmers
and are therefore obliged to dispose OF their
stock before ID is fattened for the market.

A Bridge on Fire.

GREAT FALLS, Nov. b.-[Special. About
4;30 this morning a man crossing the wagon
aud foot bridge here discovered flames
breaking through the planking near the
western approach. Strange TO say. the fire
appeared to be worse in the stringers un-
derneath the planking. and several holes
had to be cut to got at it, 1t was found the
fire had eaten its way along the two outside
stringers, occasionally honeyoombinG the
planking above for IA distance of 100 feet.
The damage is not over $780, as the burned
stringers oan be easily repaired. 1t is
thought to be incendiary. or pure malicious

New YORK. Nov. 5.-The national cam
paignlc nlcommittees have practically concluded
their work and many of those engaged here
have gone home to vote. United States
Commissioner Buell. was busy this morning
swearing in federal deputies to serve at the
election III this city. 1t is estimated that

Ma shal Jacobs says he does't know many
men he will have; but that there will be at
least one for each precinct, of which there
are l, 135, besides aome to look after men
illegally registered. The new deputies are
government employees and presumably are
all republicans. Jacobs saws they were to
be armed in o der to be able to enforce
their authority. 1t is rumored that the
federal grand jury is considering John l..
Dayenport's charges and is about TO act in
the cases of three city officers said to be

only fou teen states actively In contention.
OF these the democrats make the loudest
claims for Alabama. New Jersey and West
Virginia, swelling their total to TIA. The
republicans express ths greatest confidence
in carving Colorado. South Dakota, Idaho,
and Nebraska, which would swell their
total to 1871. Admitting these claims Of the
two old parties and oonceding Nevada to
Weaver the very doubtful states remain,

votes, ana of these seventy-six votes the
democrats must gain forty-nine in order to
win and the republicans must secure thirty.

While on these figures the republicans
would appear to have the advantage this
presumption is not borne out when 1t 10 re-
membered that the carrying of Kansas,
North Dakota and Wyoming by the pso-
ple's party would inure to democratic ad-
vantage BY tending to render choice in
the electoral college impossible, and thus
throwing the election into the democratic
house of representatives where Cleveland
would surely triumph.
In addition TO electing president and

States will next Tuesday, elect 356 CON-
ereasmen, this being the number which.

Another Great Benefit to Alpena.

The croakers who are so dolefully OK
pressing their doubts in regard to Alpena's
future, and especially concerning the
lumber manufacturing business OF the
city, had better go out of the prophecy
business. The facts do not warrant their
croakings.
We have already mentioned the large
numbering interests entered into by F..
w. Gilchrist and g. N. Fletcher & Sons
In the Canada woods, whereby next sea-
son some 25,000,00 feet Of pine will be
RATED to this city and manufactured into
lumber, and OF the several years contract
entered into by James Hamilton with Mr..
Gllchrlst to lumber the logs. We have
also stated the fact that Messrs Gilchrlst.
Fletcher and w. II. Potter have some
500, 900, 900 feet of pine In the Georgian
Bay region, all of which will come to this
port for manufacture, providing taxes
are not made excessive.
This week we take pleasure In stating
that Albert Pack, another Of Alpena's
energetic and public spirited citizens,
will also engage largely in numbering
pine in Ontario, and have the logs towed
to this city and manufactured at his mill
on the river. Mr.. Pack will have 10, 000,-
900 feet Of pine cut during the coming
fall and winter, and next summer the
logs will be towed to this city. His
camp will be on the Spanish river, in the
Georgian Bay region, and Thomas Nc
Dade will be the foreman. That amount
Of logs, together with what will come
down Thunder Bay river, will keep Mr..
Packs lumber mill in steady operation
all next season.
In the Georgian Bay region Mr.. Pack
has some 20O,0O0,0OO feet of pine, and
with what he has in Presque Isle county,
will furnish supply Of logs sufficient to
keep his mill in operation for the next
fifteen years.
1t Is therefore evident to us that IL the
people of Alpena will make taxes reason
able In the city the lumber manufacturing
business will continue almost as large
for the next ten years as they are at pres.
ent.
The future of Alpena rests with the
people. With wise and economical gov.
eminent they can make this city one of
the most prosperous in the State. We
have all the natural advantages, and all
that Is necessary to make business flour.
ishing and provide plenty of work for
the people, is wise Legislation and reason.
able taxation.
Mr.. Pack has chartered the steamer Il.
g. Stewart, and the carly part Of next
week she will clear from this port with a
crew OF men and large numbering outfit,
for Spanish river.

sonable. When we wrote the item re-
ferred to by the Pioneer, We expected
that paper would be foolish enough TO
fall into the trap.
The ARGUS opposes high tariff tax
because It places the burdens OF taxation
unequally on the people. 1t compells a
large majority Of the people to pay a tax
for the benefit OF favored few. II forces
the people to pay bonus TO private en-
terprises. 1t makes an unequal taxation,
and thus the ARGUS opposes 1t.
In advocating taxation Of peddlers the
ARGUS ls consistent, because II they are
allowed to do business here untaxed,
and the resident 10 taxed, It makes un-
equal taxation, and the resident has to
bear burdens that the nonresident is
free from. Every tariff reformer, to be
consistent, must be In favor Of making
strangers who do business here, pay
their share Of the taxable burdens.
A protective tariff tax Ia paid by the
consumer, while by putting tax on the
peddler, that much are the people relieved
from paying direct tax.
