Three Horses Drop Dead in the East End:

other horse was owned by John j. Bailey,

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2O-It is stated
that the Government is negotiating for the

Company's steamer Ohio, to be used as a
transport. The Ohio arrived in port Sat-
urday last, after the quickest trip in her
history, making the voyage from Liverpool
in less than ten DAYS.
Agent Leman, who is conversant with the
matter, said this evening: 'The fact that
negotiations are in progress is true. 1t will
not be known whether the Ohio will be
kept here until after Wednesday, her

whose main aim is to open our markets
TO the country which has misused them ?


It is not probable that there will be
change in the aspect of the campaign
previous TO election worth serious con-
sideration. There may be some revela-
tions that will change the public's
knowledge of some of the details, but il
is impossible TO conceive that better
estimate of the probable outcome can
be made on Monday than now.
The National Republican committee,
and those who are interested in the
campaign but who are not officially con-
nected with it, have apparently made a
very careful and conservative review of
the whole situation and have arrived at
conclusions that have nothing of the
rainbow" quality about them.
There have been for the past day or
two several estimates Of the situation
given out by men who have not inter
ested themselves in an inquiry for polit-
ical purposes and which have a value of
their own that does not attach TO the
statements given out by political com
mittees.
These estimates agree substantially
with the estimate of the National Re
publican Committee, and both assure
the country of the probability of the
election of Mr. Harrison.
There is better ground for confidence
that the result of the election next week
will be favorable for those among the
citizens who believe that the Repub-
lican policy is essential TO the continua-
tion of the splendid record the country
has for more than aquarter of a century
been making than there was four years
ago.
There is abundant good cause for Re.
publican satisfaction with the outlook,
but there is no excuse for relaxation of
effort during these last days. The work
that is done during the three remaining
secular days before the election is sure
TO have the greatest effect upon the re-
suit.
morrow entire confidence as to the re-
suit might be INDUCED. But the relax
ing influence of the last days of cam
paign not infrequently rather more than
equals the accession of enthusiasm. 1t
is therefore necessary that every Repub-
lican should consider that the result
depends upon his individual action and
keep himself mp to the highest mark his
enthusiasm has touched at all until he
is satisfied that every vote he is in any
degree responsible for has been cast.
Trust the predictions of those who
have studied the situation, but keep the
powder of enthusiasm and patriotism
dry to the last minute of possible voting
on Tuesday.

STARS AND STRIPES.

The growing custom Of using the
Stars and Stripes for political banners
is one highly to be commended, when
compared with the display of pictorial
banners conveying usually rather dis
torted idea of the countenances of the
candidates, For, wherever Old Glory
rises and falls in the breeze, no matter
whether the names of Harrison and
Reid or those of any other party of can
didates adorn it, it typified the union of
all parties in the common American
heritage.
We are sorry to see that in some
quarters there is tendency among the
thoughtless, to hiss, hoot and jeer when
the banner is thrown out by the opposi-
ton party. This ought not to be. The
stars and stripes should be free from in
suit, no matter in what cause it is en-
ployed.

Individual opinions that our indus.
trial growth would be much more rapid
under some other system then protec-
tion are valueless, as no such inference
can be drawn from the statistics Of our
low tariff period or from the experience
of the only free trade country on the
globe.
But state and government reports.
almost without limit, have been placed
before us. showing an increase in pros
perity in all lines of business under the
protective policy that is sufficiently
rapid TO satisfy even some of the tariff
for-revenue-free-raw-material people.
Recent census bulletins on the manu-
featuring statistics of cities illustrate
the remarkable benefits that have ac-
crued to the country under this tariff
policy during the past decade.
A summary of the first % of these
bulletins shows that these benefits have

necessity must use the pawtuxet water
in the family, the writer, having heard
so much through the papers and also pri-
vate sources concerning pollutions, and
also speculations as how to get pure
water, drove out along the river and
came to the pumpin z station.
The water is taken directly from the
river, led through copper wire screens.
This helps out bodies of size, but canno OF
purify the essence.
IL does not seem perfectly feasible to
secure an abundance OF pure water on
that very spot.
Just across the narrow stream the land
is level, and series Of wells. large or
small could be dug sufficient TO supply
all the water needed. What is necessary
is is TO have enough wells and that they
be sufficiently deep. Then the water
would be thoroughly filtered and per
fectly pure.
This plan il adopted at Indiana apolis
and many other western cities with suc-
cess aud complete satisfaction. The ex-
peuse would be reasonable and surely is
worth considering. J.W.W.

RAIN, DROUGHT AND POLITICS.

The rain comes most opportunely, and
most inopportunely,
1t is grievously needed to relieve the
parched earth and fill the dry water
courses. The reports of distress on ac-
count of low water, or lack of water.
come from a wide field on the Atlantic
coast.
The near approach of winter gives the
situation a complexion of gravity that
approaches the tragical.
But the ram is inopportune politi-
cally. 1t sadly interferes with the plans
of the management of the campaign,
the closing days of which were TO be oc-
cupied by outdoor demonstrations that
are regarded as especially important and
effective.
Here is a situation for philosophers to
contemplate, and for all people to phil
osophize upon.
The rain falls upon Republican and
Democrat alike, when they parade in
political procession.
Likewise it fills streams and reser-
voirs with entire impartiality and dis
regard of voting inclination.
Therefore, hail to the rain Let it
come, since it must and WILL in such
Righteousness as will give the dry and
parched earth its fill of liquid life, and
every person who dwells thereon. We
can bear the deprivation of torchlight
parades with Christian fortitude. but
water we must have.

THE CAUSE OF APATHY.

| The present political apathy is so evil
dent TO all who see even the surface of
events that it is useless for the cam
paign orators on either side to deny it.
| There has been no time in the history
of recent presidential contests when so
many voters have shown their indiffer-
ence to their party's success by failure
to register or by lack of proper atten-
ton to what may be called prediction
day duties.
And this condition exists despite the
near approach of an election the i'm
portance of which cannot be over-esti-
mated. The selection of President
is not the whole of the question. 1t
must be remembered that upon the sue
cess or failure of either party will
depend the legislative as we'll as the
executive branch of the government.
The Democratic party now have an
overwhelming majority in the House,
and in the event of their winning at the
polls next Tuesday they will soon have
majority in the Senate as well.
This will place the entire ma
chinery of the government in the
hands OF those whose theories
of finance, taxation, federal and state
rights are fundamentally different from
those which have been operative for the
past thirty years. For the first time
within that period both parties stand
ready for battle along the whole line.
and the victory of either means not
only the defeat of the other, but its
complete elimination from government
tai work for number of years. II
means a revolution in our national
councils, the effect of which can but be
complete, whichever party may win.
And yet, facing these facts and know
ing these conditions, $4,000 voters in
New York city alone disfranchised
themselves through negligence How
many thousands have done likewise
in other parts Of the country il is inn
possible to tell. How many thousands
ilblt wiz hNkitNb NntH tltC-
tion day comes is an unknown quantity
of equally large possibilities. These
men have thrown away the most potent
right which belongs TO American citi-
zenship II is our power TO personally
take part in the legislation and
TO exercise tho privilege Of self
government that distinguishes us
from the citizens Of an absolute mon
archy. Those are the rights which our
forefathers bought with millions of
treasure and thousands Of lives and be
queathed TO us as a legacy enriched 10y
their sacrifices. And yet thousands Of
our citizens are TO negligent TO use the
rights which are theirs. This is time
of peace but the principles Of state
rights by which the South claimed the
authority 10 secede are at stake in
this election. II is the doctrine Of de-

and who will not take the trouble to
register their opinion as to this most
important issue.
1t is, indeed, time TO consider whether
the apathy and indifference are not in
dication of most serious defect in
modern politics. IL we have arrived at
time in the development of free gov
ernment, when even small minority
of voters consider their sacred rights Of
franchise as worthless, we may readily
believe that free government mas
reached the limit of its perfection that
the allurements which it offers to the
average man are not sufficient to excite
his interest and that the retrogade
movement has already begun. For the
moment that indifference, which now
possesses the few, become so far-reach-
ing as TO encompass the majority /; at
that moment democratic government
ceases and oligarchy begins.
OF course this view is an extreme one
and it is TO be hoped that such condi-
ton will never be reached, but is never
theless the logical and unavoidable con-
clusion of apathy in politics. Those who
preach the theories of "stay at home"
"either candidate is good enough" "the
country will do well anyhow" "the
contest is unimportant," are responsible
for a condition of affairs which is SO
