Third Victim Dying.

1t has been ascertained that another man
was mortally wounded in the Thirteenth
ward tragedy. John McGOugh, one of the
alleged gang of repeaters who participated
in the bloody riot, was found at his home
suffering from the effects of bullet wound
in his abdomen. The bullet had penetrat-
ed the kidneys, and the physicians say he
cannot recover.
He is insensible now, but before he be-
came unconscious he stated that he did not
have a revolver and did not do any of the
shooting. He says that he felt the bullet
and started to go home. He fell by the
roadside and was carried home by friends.
The election was aquiet one with the ex-
ception of the fatal fight in the Thirteenth
ward. The vote polled was as heavy as
that cast in the presidential year. With a
few districts missing the vote for mayor
shows that Molloy. the regular Democrat,
has defeated Whelan the independent, by
!, +p votes.

Mayor whelan In a NvrangIe.

Mayor Whelan. the independent Demo
cratic and Republican candidate for mayor
had all but a fist encounter with Edmund
Stanton. leading Murphy supporter of
the Fourth ward. This is Whelan' 5 ward
Prior to this election Stanton had been a
Cleveland man. In the local contest he
has taken the side of Murphy. Whelan OBJ
jected to permitting some men to vote.
Harsh words ensued between the two men,
and it is said that one was about to strike
the other when friends parted them.
1t is charged that the city was full of re
peaters The Republicans charge that the
Murphy inspectors stuffed the ballot boxes
in the interest of Molloy, their candidate
and that repeaters in his interest roamed
in the town.
In the Second district of the Fourth
ward the Republican watchers were eject
ed by the police for protesting against GER
tain voters. John Bartlett, respectable
citizen, claims that tough voted on his
name before his eyes and that he was pow
erless to stop him. Such occurrences are
most frequent i'll the city.
McGough vas shot in the back and is
very badly hurt. He insists that John
Ross and Rowland started the shooting.
John Ross said: Il did not fire pistol
1t was Observation-Disclosures murder-and it
was premeditated. Only about an hour

William away and told him to take the

that they would start in and use their

Mayor Whelan said 1T is only the nat
ural result of the determination of the
Murphy heelers to carry the election by
fair means or foul. 1t is a stain on this city
Senator Edward Murphy said, 1T is u
most deplorable affair. and am greatly
grieved at it.

BUFFALO, March bishop Coke. has

Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1894-10-06

The editorial staff of the New York
Herald has begun to write school-bov
essays on the tariff brought about by
the possibility of the editors being un-
able to enjoy such luXuries as English
Cheshire cheese or choice Duth Edams
as cheaply as they can buy wholesome
American cheese. Their lament is
that the specific duty together with
the transatlantic freight in one of
the foreign steamship lines, for
which Mr.. James Gordon Bennett
is always endeavoring to secure
freight at the expense of American
shipping, will prevent the general con-
sumption of English Cheshire cheese
and choice Dutch Edarns, because
they will be far too high for the
pocketbooks of most Americans"
This very fact preventing their
general consumption here, will
naturally create greater demand for
American cheese among cheese eaters.
Consequently, while it is true that "the
government will derive but trifing
revenue" it is not true that the
American farmer will derive no bene-
fit" Any tariff that prohibits the
Importation of foreign goods increases
the demapd for similar American
goods, and this is the aim and object
of protective tariff. The theories of
the Herald's schoolboy economist are
not as good as his appetite for English
Cheshire cheese and Dutch Edams.
We can hardly blame them for this
appetite for foreign delicacies, as it is
the result of the teachings promul-
gated by Mr.. James Gordon Bennett
in his anti American paper

There is a st. Louis gentleman Of
uncertain age but with quite an amia-
BILE disposition, residing out on .
suburban road, who has grievance
and he does not care who knows it.
AS the story goes this particular West
Ender has a wife and three or four
children, and incidentally everything
else to make him happy. There is
only one fault in the family-the wife
is very superstitious- She believes in
dreams and signs and omens to the
utter disgust of the head of the family.
The disgusted husband startel out
the other night to convince his better
half that there was nothing IN Dire ans
and omens. He turned over the salt
box at the table and did not get
mad; he walked under a stepladder
and was not assassinated; he looked
at a cross-eyed man in n street car
and carried out none of the instruc-
tions that would prevent a horrible
disaster; and he did many other
things that caused his wife to believe
that he would certainly die before
morning. He didn't die, however, but
awole the next morning with regu-
lar Mr.. Bowser smile on his face. He
did not forget to call his wife's atten-
tion to the fact, either, and reminded
her that hereafter he did not want to
hear any more silly talk about thus
and so" being sure sign of 'such
and such" The head of the house
left home in a happy frame of mind
that morning; firmly believing that
he had convinced his wife.
He alighted from car at Locust
and Sixth streets, and, after walking
half block north on Sixth street,
fell into a cellar. Only one finger
was broken, but he was jolted up in
such manner as to cause grave un-
easiness. While returning home in q
car the car jumped the track, and he
narrowly escaped death. Upon reach
ing his residence he accidentally
tumbled over baby carriage and re-
broke his finger. The following day
he was at home in bed, and while the
ever-comforting wife ministered to
his wants, he never mentioned any.

There have not been wanting of late
indications of growing irritation with
England for its dog in the manger sill
yer policy. Gold monometalism Is
convulsing two continents and gravely
compromising the future of the poorer
states in Europe. This feeling has
been voiced in America by Senator
Lodge, whose proposal virtually to
shut out British goods from the
United States until we should assent
to a bimetalli convention, though
extreme and absurd, indicates the
trend of sen ntiment on the other side of
the Atlantic.
Senator Lodge is not silver man in
the usual sense, being opposed out and
out to free coinage in the United
States under existing conditions, and
therefore his views though tinged
with strong feeling, may attract more
attention here than those of the pro-
nounced silverites. Mr.. Lodge is very
bitter about the failure of the Brus-

In the gymnasium of Wellesley col

Miss Gail II. Laughlin was born in
Robbinston, Maine, May Z, 1865, and
is of Scotch and Scotch Irish descent
In 1871 she moved to Penn broke, where
her father died when she was only z
years old.
In November 1876, she moved to
St Stephen n. B. Her stay there
was a series of word battles on be-
half of the advan tages of her native
land. In August, 1880, she moved to
Portland, her present home. The
campaign of that year marked the be-
ginning of an intelligent interest in
politics and real knowledge of party
issues.
In 1856 Miss Laughlin graduated
from the Portland high school
with first honors Within week
after graduation she was at work
both for her living and for the
money to enable her to secure the col
lege education for which she longed.
After four years, during the last year
of which she was head bookkeeper for
Charles e. Jose & Co. of Portland
Miss Laughlin entered Wellesley
One of her first acts there was the
formation, in connection with her

are sufficiently old fashioned to be-
lieve that it is the part of friend to
show himself friendly, and when this
country turns deaf ear to the plant
of half the world, including all the
New World, they not unnaturally take
it unkindly.
1t is not for us to say whether the
feeling of irration is wholly justified
or not; it exists, and that is the main
point Moreover, it is taking shape
that may entail very awkward conse-
quences on us. The recent proposal
to coin Mexican dollars in San Fran
cisco was bid toward giving us an
object lesson by ousting us from our
commanding position in eastern trade
There is plain moral in the remark
ture to cut herself adrift from Europe
and take outright to silver she would
have oil America and Asia at her
back, and would command the mar
kets of both continents. "The bar
rier of gold would be more fatal than
any barrier of custom house. The
bond of silver would be stronger than
any bond of free trade
There can be no doubt about it that
If the United States were to adopt a
silver basis tomorrow British trade
would be ruined before the year was
out Every American industry would
be protected, not only at home, but in
every other market. OF course the
states would suffer to certain extent
through having to pay her obligations
abroad in gold; but the loss on ex.

mere drop in the bucket compared
with the profits to be reaped from the
markets of South America and Asia
to say nothing of Europe.

MANNERS IN JAPAN.


Etiquette Has become Second Nature In
the Lind of the MiLado.
Given highly initiative race like
the Japanese and let one undeviat-
ing standard be set before them
Then, says the Christian Register,
for generation after generationwill no
change be witnessed. The standard
will act like that of the French acad-
emy on the language OF France. Now,
at home, in America, we have fifty
standards of manners-the reserved
and reticent New England manners,
the slap-you-on-theba back far West
ern manners, the demagogue's man
ners, the drummer's manners, tho
cut-and dried business mans man
ners-these and dozens of othera
might be specified. And it must be
admitted by even the most patriotic
that the man who should try to
model his department on all these
schools at once would come to u
somewhat mixed result. Nothing OF
this bewildering perplexity has
ever existed in Japan. From mikado
ut the top to coolie at the bottom Of
the social scale. one undertaking
standard has always prevailed.
Originally an importation from
China, it has been elaborated through
centuries of study of the most elabo-
rate ceremonial etiquette, till at
last through constant practice it has
become second nature. No one ever
saw anything else. ever dreamed of
anything else. There was one way
OF saluting u superior, one OF salut-
ing an equal, one way of saluting an
inferior, and ones head would have
been cut off If he departed from it.
No Japanese child ever saw a drum
mer = saw only PROSTATE artisan
saluting Saumari, Saumari saluting
Daimios, Daimios saluting Shotguns.
The whole ceremony became organ,
tzed into them as much as their in
stinctive habits into our settlers anc
pointers, perhaps the best hammered
of our population. Little girls o.
10 will one see here whose finish o
breeding would have awakened the
envy of duchess at the court o
Louis XIV at Versailles. Female
servants one will encounter at din
ner in the house of a Japanese gen
tleman whose grace, charm and dig
nifty are the quintessence of ladylikt
refinement "Trihes make perfec
tion. but perfection is no triae.
The simple fact is that the young
woman of 30 has been doing thu
thing for thousand years.

NOT WIS
The Clergyman who Invested in Poll
Parrot.


Parrot.
Poll parrots are very curious birds
Their powers of mimicry are undis-
puted, and he who thinks he can
swear at the bird with impunity and
yet not be made to suffer by Mr.. Poll
is not the wisest man in the world, as
is shown by the experience of cler-
gyman who invested in a parrot that
was formerly in the house of man
known to be not particularly choice
in his language. The story probably
is true, for the bird played
many pranlls. This minister
was entertaining some friends
atdinner, whenthe bird de-
veloped an unexpected fondness for
insulting the guests and referred in
sarcastic manner to the large amount
of food they were devouring. Finally
the parson was .nettled extremely.
He grasped the sinful bird by the
neck and whirled him around and
around.
There, shut up" exclaimed the
clergyman.
The bird, once more in the cage,
shook itself until all the featherS
came back into their usual places.
The poll looked at the clergyman
rather frowningly and shouted: My,
how the wind blew through my whis-
kers!'
There is another poll in Philadel.
phia that should be placed in the
same class with the minister's. There
are five cats in the house, and Polly
does not like any one of them. Sever
al mornings ago the occupants of the
domicile were aroused by the loud
'meows" of one of the cats. Going
down stairs they found that Polly had
hold of the cats tail. The felins ami
NAL was suffering, and at the same
time making strenuous efforts to
scratch out the birds eyes.
Polly, polly, let go and you'll get
cracker" exclaimed the sweetfaced
matron.
The bird gurgled out, still holding
on to the tail: Don't want crackers,
want this pussy's tail, and am going
to have it,"

MARRIED cURATEs RULED OUT.
Sad State of Affairs In the Established
Church In England.

Church In England.
Marriage seems great failure in
the case of curates in the church Of
England. One of them writes of the
sad lot of his class as follows: when
Wears in charge of fashionable sub
urban parishes insist on having only
young and unmarried curates it may,
in the opinion of mere worldly men,
be very nice for the girls, but is ii
very good for the church? Why do
married Wears invariably advertise
for unmarried curates? Are their
own marriages all failures2
My case is common one. I
am a curate and want work. But I
am too old, being no less than thirty
seven years, and am married, SO, of
course, must stand aside. That have
enough income to live on is lucky for
me, but does not alter the case. NV
father served as a curate neamy all
his life and 1 thought might at least
be permitted to do the same, but the
action of the bishops in ordaining men
wholesale during the past twenty five
years has enabled the majority Of
Wears to reject all who, like myself,
are old or married, and so we are. left
in the sad position of your humble
servant, who signs himself Out of
Work."

trade caused falling off in the con-

per capita of our population down to
23 &C bushels, loss of 6. 81 bushels
This decreased the total demand for
corn by 450, 225 900 bushels and the
farmers know we'll that they got less
money for their corn in 1893 than in
1892 When people are busy and
factories are running there is more
hauling of goods and more work for
horses. A teamster earning good
