THE ATTEMPTS of the cuckoos TO ac-
count for the falling off in the demo-
cratic vote at the recent elections oy
democratic disgust with the German
tariff bill, is so absurd as to be ridlcul-
GUS. AS both the Wilson and German
bills were protective measures OF the
two, the latter was the more popular
as it diffused protection, and did not
copfne it, as the former did, almost ex-
clusivelv to the manufacturers OF the
North. But neither of the bills re-
ferred to had any more to do with the
falling off in the democratic vote at the
late elections than with that at every
nrevious election since 1892. The real
cause of the decrease in the democratic
vote throughout the country, is the DIS
content and dissatisfaction prevalent
among the democratic voters in every
State of the Union; they doubt, and
have cause to, the true democracy OF

The Forest Fires.

BARNUM, MIMI, Sept. Tt is i'm
possible to give correct statement OF
the number of those who persisted by
the forest fires. The region about
Hinckley is Uttered with the carcasses

them promises to breed pestilence
among the few people left.

ten miles of country and will, in all
probability, prove food for buzzards and
wolves, as the country where they lie
is too far from civilization for burial
ceremonies.
ST. JOHN, N. B., Sept. 7.--Forest
fires are raging for several miles outside
of this city. Already the damage has
been great and several villages are in
danger. Yesterday the train which
runs from St. Stephen and Calais was
over three hours late in getting here
because of the fire. 1t arrived at Le-
preaux Just in time for the train hands
to save the railroad bridge, which
caught from the woods. The
foot bridge at Lepreaux was entirely
destroyed and people are now cross
ing the river in teams, the water
being only about three feet deep.
Three dwellings and several barns
were burned there yesterday afternoon
and, at last accounts, others were in
danger. The woods on both sides of
the track from st. George to Spruce
Lake are on fire, and it is doubtful if
trains will be able to run through
the district. The loss to crops
through Charlotte and st. Johns
counties will be enormous. The
fire is rapidly working its way to-
wards the suburbs of this city, and, un-
less the wind changes, the result will
be disastrous. The fire has passed the
woods on the Manawagonish road, just
beyond the city limits, and destroyed a
house, a large barn and several out
buildings. This city is enveloped in
smoke.
