THE Congressional fight in the Ashland
District Kentucky was the subject of good
deal Of interest all over the United States,
and if we may take tho views presented in
the papers as fair example of popular
sentiment the people at large of our natl on
have sanctioned the Ashland districts course
and approved Of the verdict which sends
the Colonel from the Halls Of the Nations
Legislature. Whatever Col. Breckenridge s
idea may be the course Of his family and
some of his friends since the election show
that their idea Of public office is a very low
They seem to consider public office about
the same as piece OF private property, to
which man may acquire right by simple
undisputed possession for n while, by pre-
scription as the lawyers say. 1t seems as if
they considered that Col. breckenridge had
right to the Office and that he was being
defrauded out of his rights by those who
were voting for Owens. Consequently they
were very angry when the Col. was defeated
to wage an open war against oil Of the
Owens men.
We fear, however, that there are very few
Of US who can throw stones at the Brecken-
ridge men. Their idea is just what seems
TO be the popular one, gone to seed In
this day Of push and scramble for wealth,
there are many who see nothing in anything
except the money, The salary attached to
the office Is what makes politics SO alluring

ferins with Nicaragua.
New Orleans, Aug. 3l.-The steamship
Rover from Blueheldsat o'clock D. m.
to-day is the first vessel reaching New
Orleans which witnessed the transporta-
tion Of the American and English prison
ers to Greytown.
Mr.. Ed Thompson, first mate Of the
Rover, in an interview said that, as
war left Bluefelds the day before
the transportation, leaving the Colum-
bla alone to protect the prisoners
ana prevent their transportation. AT the
present time, awhen the policy of the
American foreign office is known, moth
ing would have suited the English better
than 10 see American sailors rescue the
prisoners, English and American both,
and possibly lombard the town, and in
that way accomplish two purposes, that
Is, the liberation Of the English subjects
In the hands of the Spaniards, and the
collapse of the American canal schemes in
Central America.
This may be considered, MIR. Thompson
said, the truest explanation of the reason
why the English captain left Bluefields
at the most critical time while pretending
to be on the lookout to intercept the
prisoners should an attempt be made to
toke them TO Greytown. The English
captain could have accomplished his pur-
pose much easier in Blueheld harbor.
Mr. Thompson says that several hours
before the Yule left for Greytown, Capt.
Simmer was informed of the intention Of
| the Spaniards, and could have acted in
the matter if he had wished to do so but
probably having instructions from our
foreign office to do nothing, he could only
grit his teeth at the sight of so many
or his personal friends being taken away
by foreigners. II is the opinion in Mica
ragua that the NiCaraguan Canals Com
pany's concession is, to a certain extent,
responsible for the failure of the American
government to display firmer foreign
policy. The company has not lived up to
It's concession, but it wishes no complica-
tlons between the United States and
Nicaragua 10 arise, for fear of the com
panys losing the concession. The pres
ent situation at Bluefelds is as deplorable
as ever Indians and Jamaican negroes
are daily arrested and nobody is certain
OF life or property, and expecting
every hour TO be imprisoned on some
trivial charge.
PROPERTY TO BE SEIZED.
1t is the present opinion in Bluefields
that the property of all foreigners who
have been banished from Nicaragua or
have left on their own accord will be con
hscated by the government AT the time
the Rover left Bluefelds the Columbia
had left for Port Limon and the Marble
head had just arrived.
Except the fruit business all other bust
ness is at standstill and people are con
tinually leaving the place. Bluehelds,
built up TO prosperity by American enter
prise and with American capital, will
| soon cease to exist If the Spaniards are to
rule the reservation. The steamship
Yule came back from Greytown the next
evening after leaving Bluefelds, bringing
news that Capt. Stuart of the English
man-of-war had arrived at Greytown and
visited the prisoners at Greytown prison

TO REDUCE WAGES.
Illinois Corporations Resume With a
Cut All Around.

Joliet, Ill, Aug. 31.-Leading manu-
facturers here say that in some cases they
will lower wages. The Lambert q
Bishop wire mill, branch of the Consoli-
dated Steel and Wire Company, which
has been closed since last July, has given
notice that it will start up in ten days,
but with 10 per cent. cut. This is a
great disappointment to the old employees,
but owing to the dull times the men will
be compelled to accept the reduction
The Illinois steel mill of this city will
also take a hand in the reduction Of
wages. The rod department, which has
been closed for three months, will start
up next week under a new scale of
wages, which is from 10 to 20 per cent
lower than the old scale

ENCOURAGING FIGURES.
A ststisticisn of Chicago Reviews the
Labor Situation.

Chicago, Aug. 3l.-It is estimated by
Jos. lewenhutt, statistician of the health
department, that three -fourths of the
working people, who were out of employ
ment year ago, are now earning wages.
He bases his estimate on the reports
made by the factory inspectors, although
ne has made no careful comparison of fig
ures. The number of idle wage workers
IN the city last September, according to
lruenhutt, was not less than 100, 900. The
depression following the boom of May
and June, 1898, continued until recently.
The steady return OF workingmen and
women to regular avocations since has
been noticeable, and now not more than
5000 of the 100000 are out of work
There are, he says, 800 tailor shops in op-
Grafton in the city now, as compared with
half that number last winter-a fair indi-
cation of the change which the industrial
situation is undergoing
