ONE OF the Northern imperialistic
Journals advises that flew million"
of American money be advanced to the
Cuban farmers to make their next years
sugar crop. Why, certainly! The in
dus.rious white sugar, cotton, rice and
tobacco planters of the South should be
taxed in order 10 give money to the
lazy negroes and scaiawags of Cuba
That would be in accordance with the
existing condition ofaffars in this coun-
try. No money can be advanced, on
good security, to the poor planters Of
the South with which to make their
next years crops, but millions can be
given or no security whatever to Gu
bans, whose lives are spent in idleness,
brigandage and resurrection.

Astronomers Calculations Upset

Princeton. N. j., Nov. 16.-"The
prophesied Leonoidic shower failed to
materialize in America or the moon
shine was too dazzling" said Professor
Yung, Princeton's famous astronomer,
this morning. "a dozen of stray Leo.
noids was spotted but that was all. Bad
weather, too much moonshiue, and the
attractive action of the planets played
hob with the calculations of the as
tronomers." Larkiug students rang
the old North bell last night and nun
dreds appeared to witness the pheno.
menon, but saw only clear sky and a
dazzling moon.

the feui tide OF the dissertation of marriage. of

CREATES A CONNECTION.
Reproduction of Willy Macs City Clerk
Candidates Record.

Commotion has been created in the
McConochie corner" of the cam
paign by the discovery of the record
of the combines candidate for city
clerk on the S-hour law for municipal
labor while in the council. 1t is very
evident that while the willy head of
the ticket may have been familiar
with this fact in the public career of
his chosen associate on the ticket,
1.-THE corner was not. But at all
events the record stands, and it talks.
In the entire council that was serving
in May, 1856, but two voted against
the resolution at that time introduced
10y Aid. Larkin. which was to the eff
feet that the S-hour system be
adopted bv the city council, and the
pay of laborers be $3.50 per day and
teams So per day for the same time.
There were II ayes on the resolution,
and two nays. OF the latter, Henry
Schaffer, then serving as alderman
from the First ward, was one One
alderman was absent. Naturally the
recalling Of this circumstance had 4 de-
pressing effect on the McConochie
push, but the willy politician who fer
reasons best known to himself forced
the nomination of Schaffer, and for
the same reasons best known to him
self kept the knowledge of the prop sed
caper dead secret until it was sprung
on the convention at the last moment
and carried. OF course the "coIner' s y
only interest was to beat the Union ;
man. johnson. II was willing to go
into anything after the nomination of
McConOchie to accomplish this end.
So it left the fixing of the clerkship to
McConochie himself. The result was
Schaffer. So thus you have McConc-
chic and his man, SchafTer.
