He Denounces the Southern Democratic
SENATORS who BetrSy tho Interests of
the People.
LoutsvTLLE, KY., Oct. 19.-Editor
Henry Watterson, Of the Couyier.Jour-
nal, in two-cOlumn leader this morn
ing, reads the riot act 10 those Southern
Senators who have DISTRACTED silver re-
peal, and predicts disaster for the Demo-
cratic party. He says;
2 "rhe spectacle of the extra session,
and more particularly the scenes Of the
last few days and nights, are enough to
call the dead to life In defence of the
beleagured interests and the departing
glory from the clique of Southern Sena-
tors obsequiously serving combine of
silver mine owners; using their export
ence, and such wits as are left them, to
obsIruct the will of the people as it was
never INSTRUCTED before, precisely as if
their own dear lives were at stake.
"Perhaps the immolation of Grover
Cleveland may be retribution upon the
Democratic party for nominating and
electing him President, and perhaps it
may destroy the party outright; per-
haps it is ever the will of God for evil
to come to pass that good may follow;
but the guilty ones will not escape.
That is one comfort out of the desola-
ton that has enveloped Democratic OPP
portunities and the irretrlevable dis
grace which has fallen upon the Demo-
cratic party in having approvingly to
submit to the wise rebuke of Republi-
can statesman and that statesman John
Sherman" .-.....-
OF the platform pledges upon which
the Democracy came into power and
the stubborn betraying fight within the
ranks now waged against them Mr..
Watterson observes:
"We see the official head of the Dem
ocratic party ruthlessly insulted without
word of reply or defence from Sem
ators who, holding Democratic commits
sions, are quick to rush TO the aid of the
mine owners, in the meantime insulting
their Democratic colleagues. We see the
organization and discipline of the Dem
ocratic party blown to atoms, not by
intellectual dynamite, or the combustion
Of great ideas, but most questionable
train Of deprecated dollars laid in the
darkness, and it is much TO be feared in
the corruption of few silver mines.
| That is what we see."
Aud in conclusion "When the tariff
reform is brought in, when the rescind-
| ing of Federal Election laws is beaten,
when Democratic victory is converted
into Democratic obloquy and defeat,
and when the business interests of the
country, detached from healthy inter-
course with the commercial world, are
relegated to plague-stricken comrade-
ship with those nations-to wit Mexico
and Central and South America-whose
monetary, like their political conditions
are in state of chronic distempcr, then
will these Southern, and so-called Demo.
cratic, Senators learn in sober earnest
that there is a people to condemn, and a
God TO punish alike the faithless and the
incapable"

Commemorative an Important Epoch
of the American Revolution.

TRENTON, N. j., Oct 19.-The Tren-
ton battle monument was dedicated to-
day. The pomp and splendor of the
affair was impressive. Governors OF
many States participated and an impos-

features. The attendance was very

Green streets, and Brunswick, Prince
ton and Pennington avenues, the exact
spot where Captain Alexander Hamil-
ton OF New York opened his battery of
the New York State Company of Artil-
lery ON the Hessian foe.
Around about the monument 10000
| were gathered to witness the exercises.
The military rested arms in Warren
street, the thoroughfare down which
the Hessians were swept and from
whose soil, momentos in the shape of
shot and shell are still occasionally dug
up. The failure of President Cleveland
and other distinguished men TO arrive
from Washington was deeply regretted,
since ii was their intention to be present
If possible. The national and State

Massachusetts, Werts of New Jersey,

CHICAGO, Oct. 18.-Three months ago
E. R. Wallace of Philadelphia arranged
with the management of the Philadel-
phia Hotel here for quarters for him
self and bride for the present week.
Wallace reached the hotel alone yester-
day. His actions aroused suspicious OF
insanity, and guardian spent the night
with him. About o'clock this morn
ing Wallace complained of being hun
cry, and the watcher went to the
kitchen for something to eat. While
he was gone Wallace went to the bath
room and drowned himself.
Papers in his possession identify him
as assistant ticket agent of the Pennsyl.
vania Railroad Company, at Broad
Street Station, Philadelphia. Pictures
Of young woman found in Wallace
pockets were supposed to represent the
missing woman for whom he engaged
rooms three months ago. Neither the
photographs nor some letters which
were found in Wallaces room give the
woman's name, and no clue to her iden.
tity can be found. Among the letters
was one dated October 18th, at Phila.
delphia. 1t is from Wallaces father
and reads, in part, as follows:
Dear Ed: Your letter of the 9th received
and as no telegram came | have concluded
that the proposed wedding did not come
off.

The Signs by Which au Old Farmer Pre-
diets Season OF Unusual Severity.
New York Times, Oct. 10.
MIDDLETowS, n. Y, Oct. 1S.-Loren
Cushman, an aged farmer of Plymouth,
Chenango county, has quite reputa-
ton as u reliable weather prophet, and
Whenever he makes representation
his friends and acquaintance regard it
as worthy of credcnce. Mr.. Cushman
believes the coming winter will be an
unusually severe one, and bases his
opinion on the following grounds:
First. The husks on corn are much
thicker than usual and of deep orange
tint, instead of light lemon hue.
Second. The hogs melt runs jagged,
instead Of smooth.
Third. The goose bone taken from a
May-raised fowl shows larger and
whittier spots than customary, which re.
semble the canals of mars.
Fourth. The crop of nuts of all kinds
is immense, and the squirrels and chip
hunks are laying in prodigious stores
early IN the season.
Fifth. The partridges and woodcock
are lighting in barns and outhouses, in.
stead of trees, and ducks are flying in
U-shaped, instead OF V-shaped, fiocks
toward the south.
Sixth. The green frogs are changing
their skins and are even now seeking
cool wells and springs for their winter
quarters.
Mr.. Cushman believes the coming
winter will be the most severe this coun.
try has experienced since the winter Of
| 1888.

An Important railroad Decision.

The Kentucky court of appeals held,
in the recent case of Shellbaker VS..

way, that a regulation OF a railroad
company requiring passenger entering
train without ticket to pay 20 cents
extra fare, this sum to be refunded
upon the presentation to any ticket
agent on the road of q "rebate check"
furnished by the conductor was not IN
reasonable, and that where passenger,
with knowledge of the rule, and with
knowledge Of the fact that there was no
ticket Office at the station for which he
was destined, failed before starting on
his journey to buy round-trip ticket,
which he knew he could procure, he
could not complain that upon his return
he was elected from the train on his re-
fusal TO pay the 20 cents extra fare re-
quired by the regulations of the com

Sends sigh through the world to roam
The Winds wild way at the Winds sweet

But her heart abides at home, at home.

Seeing all foolish things must be
Till the round world is made anew
