A Body of Rebels Meet In Battle With

BOMBAY, Oct. 13. A serious condition
of affairs exists in Goa, q territory in In
dia owned by Portugal. Recently body
of rebels, said 10 have mum bered 1,500
stopped detachment of Portuguese
troops, commanded by a Lieutenant. who
were going TO San Quillim. Sharp fight
ing took place, during which many of
the Portuguese soldiers were wounded.
The rebels were in too strong force, how
ever. for the troops TO make successful
resistance. and the latter were finally
Obliged to surrender. Some of the troops
were natives, and refused to obey the or
ders OF the Lieutenant. This victory has
given prestige to the rebels, and it is
thought many Of the disaffected natives
will flock to their standard. The Govern
ment of Goa is dispatching gnns TO
a ogoda. and has arranged for the defense
OF Panjin1, but the measures that have
been taken are considered to be quite in
adequate to suppress the revolt.
LISBON, Oct. 13.-The Government is

Tl,e,, and Now.

There was a time when he who would
keep informed of the progress Of knowledge:
the record of discovery and invention. and
the currents Of human thought, could and
indeed must rely chiefly If not wholly upon
books. That day has passed Books we
must still read, as the capitalization and
permanent embodiment of human thought
and knowledge. Blu, to-day it is the news
paper, the magazine, the periodical review,
upon which we must chiefly depend if we
would follow closely the intellectual move
nent Of the day. And now new difficulty
has arisen. This newspaper and periodical
literature has become SO multitudinous and
bulky as to be a heavy burden to the busy
man or woman, while even the person who
has leisure and inclination to read widely
is often unable to get access to the current
publications. Especially in the smaller
cities, villages. and rural districts is the
the clergyman, the teacher, the lawyer, the
physician, the merchant, the artisan, the
farmer and the cultured and thoughtful
practical literary question is: With all
these and many other classes of persons the
great practical literary question is: How
can, best supplement my indispensable
home paper? 1t was to answer this ques
and meet this demand that PUBLIC OPIN-
ION (now published in New York City,
was founded'nine years ago. 1t selects the
best, condenses it to the last degree, and
serves it in convenient and attractive form.

THE .HTUA TON.

Every now and then some one
comes forward with an infallible
remedy for the hard times. One
asserts that silver is the Panacea,
another that it is overproduction,
another that it is class legislation,
etc. etc, and the great majority
settle the affair very satisfactorily
by saying that nobody knows what
is the matter, and there isn't a man
living able enough to find out.
The fact of the matter IS, there is
great deal wrong and correcting
one thing will not set matters right.
Undoubtedly sel6shness is at the
bottom of it all, and this hydra
headed monster has SO entwined
itself in our civilization, that it
seems that no less than a complete
revolutjoA of existing institutions
can slay it. The present stagna-
ton and Repression is. not of sud-
den growth, it has been growing

SOUND NONE Y.

President Cleveland's letter to
che business men of Chicago a few
days ago was simply a rehash of his
monometallic ideas. He advo-
Gates gold standard as the only
safe financial policy, unless silver
shall be adopted by an international
agreement. tits safe to say that that
will not happen within the next
hundred years, the more especially
since England being the largest
creditor country IN the world, will
never agree to it. Meanwhile in
the United States, the most re-
sourceful country on earth, gold
will continue to appreciate and
consequently debts increase to an
alarming degree. Within ten years
debts have increased 100 per cent;
that is, it requires twice as much
products to pay 500 to-day as it
acquired to pay $500 ten years ago,
and the tendency is downward all
the time. If sound money can
thus bankrupt the people, it is
about time that we try cheap money
and get even so as to start fresh,
else our government will find itself
compelled to repeat history and
enact law wiping out debts in toto
in order to relieve the oppressed
and grooming people.

The New Sectionalisnl,

The New SectiOnaliSm.
Milwaukee Journal.
Of late there have been several
developments of sectionalism in
this country along lines new in our
history. Just now, the most prom
inent is the monetary question. 1t
is the South aud West against the
North and East. The geograph-
ical line is not definite as was the
slavery line, but zig-zags across the
country from the Southeast to the
Northwest. This separation is due
to business conditions and not SEN
timent. It is easy to say that the
free silver men and Populists must
give up their vagaries, and it must
be expected chat they will, or at
least, that they will modify their
views. But the situation demands
conservative thought. Opinion and
interest are apt to go together. In
terests must be made harmonious
and national; then sectionalism will
disappear. Another indication Of
sectional tendency in thought and
motive crops out in the disposition
of various States anG sections to
seek trade protection for themselves
at the cost of the neighbors. 1li-
nois has had before its Legislature
a proposition to tax beer from
other States. Minnesota and other
States have legislated SO as to ex-
clude, to some extent, Chicago
beef. The West, represented by
California, is using every means to
restrain Eastern trade from compe-
tition with her own while seeking a
! wide market for her products. One
section of the country wants high
tariff on one class of goods, another
wants the rate low. All this begets
rivalry and antagonism of sections.
Our country is wide; its interests
| are as diverse as its parts. In the
| attempt to legislate restrictively for
the whole, some part is injuriously
affected. We must take broader
| views now than were necessary
when all our interests were east of
the Mississippi. More freedom
! must be allowed under any general
| policy.

STAND BY THE NOMINEES.

That the ticket nominated by the
mass meeting last Thursday Light is
a good one no fair and unpreju-
diced voter VIII deny. There may
be some gentlemen on it that some
Democrats may not like, but such
results are inevitable in the forlna-
ton OF a ticket. The wisest men
that would suit everybody, therefore
all objections arising from personal
dislikes should be overcome in a
spirit of fairness.
All who claim allegiance to the
Democratic party should bear in
mind that the ticket was nominated
by the Democratic party of the
town of Lafayette, and for that rea-
son, if for none other, every Demo
crat should support it.
Men who participate in a NOM
mating convention are honor
bound to vote for the persons
chosen by that convention. This
is an established principle of all
political parties. 1t has been re-
eognized by the leaders of the De-
mocratic party since its incipiency.
None but a turncoat or unprinci-
pied person will vote against men
chosen by mass meeting or con-
vention IN which he participated.
The Gazette again expresses the
belief that the ticket selected is
good one, composed of business
men, possessing, in a eminent de-
gree, the necessary qualifications to
fulfill the duties of the Offices for
which they have been nominated.
No town can prosper without the
benifcent influences of wise and
intelligent administration of its
municipal affairs.
From an economic and judicious
expenditure Of public moneys much
good always accrue. Look at the
towns which are forging ahead and
you will see that one of the
main causes of their prosperity lies
in the fact that competent heads
run their municipal governments.
The election OF good men to the
Offices of Mayor and councilmen
is of the greatest Importance to the
people of the town and nothing
should be left undone to accomp-
Hsh that end.
