PULLMAN WAGNER DEAL.

There has been considerable talk that
the Pullman-W Wagner deal might have
considerable effect on Boston and AL
bany affairs, as the Pullman Company
is said to own considerable Boston and
Albany stock. Pullman interests do
not own any of this stock, and would
not have any object in buying it, as
the Boston and Albany road has al
ways run Wagner cars. 1t is hard to
see how the Pullman Wagner CONSOLE
dRtion can have any effect on the Bos-
ton and Albany road or on its proposed
lease to the New York Central.

The righteousness of Schley's alleged
friends is apparent in view of their
recent orders reducing the size of the
North Atlantic squadron to practically
two ships. The men who backbit the
administration because their darling
was given the South Atlantic appoint
ment instead of the North Atlantic,
now realize that Schley has the more
important command of the two.
Since reinforcements have been dis
patched to Manila, the home squadron
is practically reduced to two ships, the
New York and the Massachusetts. The
work to be done consists of the usual
winter cruise in West Indian waters
and the taking of scientific observa-
tions. Sehley, on the other hand, will
command almost as large a fleet. As
to the work to be done, that gallant
fighter will be sent on his flagship, the
Chicago, to protect American interests
in South Africa, a work which it is
hoped will be infinitely more to the
taste of that gallant fighter than david

maps and taking seundings

 DEAR SIR Thinking a letter from this section of our broad country would not be out of place, and especially as one of Drew's natural born sons will try to pre- sent it, shall brave the editor, grim, his sanetHm.
 As most people would think, Ohio is a beautiful state, one which is not surpassed in this part of our Union. But, 1t is not of the agricultural question of which l would speak, but, rather of the general and natural conditions.
 At present the famous Buck Eye state is in the midst of po- litical furoe, which is exciting great interest. Tuesday, Nov. 7, the election comes off and then will be known how Ohio will stand on future political questions. The Democratic candidate, Me Lean, Is charged with having spent $1 ,ooo, GOO, however true this may be. l have no means of knowing. but cannot see for the life of me how d man can spend that sum when the salary would not pay. even, fair interest on the prinei- pal invested. But you hear noth- ing charged to the account of the Republican nominee, except that he is the embodiment of political virtue.
 Hanaism, MeKinleyism and Dingleyism are so deeply rooted here that 'tis doubtful whether 1t can be eradicated in years to come. The Republican press says that Bryan is welcome visitor to the state as he wins votes for their side, but somehow that strikes one as "thin place in the blanket. '
 A word in regard to schools in this part of Ohio: This town is famous for its colleges and its con- servatory. It has college that gathers students from over the en- tire east, north and west, but not many from the south, and the reas- on will be made clear presently. There are two business schools and the high school besides the college and its numerous departments. Indeed, it is not surpassed in the U. $.
 There are about ten churches of almost all the prevailing denomi- nations, and on the whole. the town is a moral one.

iehts to get off to the river to pick cotton.
 People are selling their cotton seed out too close Next spring, when they get ready to plant, seed will be an object, and, in all probability. will be worth much more than they are now. But then that may help to cur tail the crop another year, and so be a blessing, to the farmer, in disguise. Oh, that the people could see tine importance of eur- tailing the cotton-crop and plant more food crops. Almost anything will beat d cotton crop. While cotton is a little up, this Fall, vet 1t is not high enough to pay a profit above production. If there is full acreage and a good crop in 1900, in all probability, cotton will sell for 8 or 4 cents per pound I hope the people will be able to see now what a short crop of cotton means.

THE Democrats have done fairly well in the elections this Fall; but it is in the year of 1900 that they are expected to do their best. We must elect Wm. J. Bryan, president, restore silver to it's proper place, drive trusts from the face of the coun- try and deal a death blow to thelspeculation in futures. These things, and more. the Democrat ic party can do and will do, if only the proper effort is made There should be a thorough or ganization of it's forces in every neighborhood and the fight should be to a finish.

NOT A DEAD ISSUE.

It is urged by the imperialist press that the recent election demonstrates the futility of any further opposition to expansion and imperialism. Here comes that high church organ of impe- rialism and militarism, the Com mercial Appeal, with d solemn warning to Democrats to drop the issue as they would a red hot poker. This, says the C. A, is the lesson to be derived from the Republican victories of Tuesday. The election gave "a black eye to the antis." And yet in another editorial paragraph, evidently not written by the heavyweight inn perialist of the paper, it is observ- ed: The November elections do not appear to have settled any thing" That's better. That $ more like it. There is more good sense and good politics in it. The Democrat plants itself squarely with the writer of this paragraph, and against the heavyweight i'm perialist. The November election settled nothing permanently on the questions of expansion, inn perialism and militarism, and the Democratic party will take up the fight with renewed vigor. In Ma ryland the Democrats won a splen- did victory. In Massachusetts the Republican plurality on governor was S ,o52, while year ago it was S4 ,ooo. If Goebel should be defeated in Kentucky, there is still falling off in the Republican vote as compared with the last election. The Pennsylvania Re publican majority is large, it is true, 1oo, 1000, but it is by no means so beastly as the 3oo,o for Mckinley in ISo6. So of New York The vote of Iowa this year, compared with IS96, shows q gain of about 3 per cent for the Demo- crats. The large cities with the exception of Louisville and Phila- delphia are Democratic, and most of them show Democratic gains. New York, Boston, Baltimore. Cincinnati, Detroit. San Fran cisco, New Orleans, are all in line. The situation is not half so bad for us as the pessimistic imperialists would have Us believe.
 The Democratic party will take no backward step on expansion and imperialism. It believes as Mir Mckinley believed two years ago, that "foreible annexation is criminal aggression. " It stead fastly opposes the spirit of mili- tarism now rampant in this conn- try. It believes that a great stand ing army is menance to our re- publican institutions.
 It believes that to enter upon a colonial policy is to repudiate all the teachings of the fathers of the

HE LOOKED HARMLESS.
But An Inquisitive German
Learned That Helfinger
Could Kick.

Deputy Sheriffs William Henry and
Frank Hague had considerable difficulty
yesterday in taking Joseph Helfinger- to
the Morris Plains Asylum. Helfnger, who
is bricklayer and who lived in Gut
tenberg, became violently insane a short
time ago and his relatives decided to
send him to Morris Plains. The officers
fastened his hands behind his back with
handouts and boarded trolley car for
Hoboken. Helfinger spat in their faces
several times on the way down.
A big German asked the officers what
was the matter with the man. They told
him that he was crazy.
He don't-look like a crazy man." re.
marked the German, stepping up in front
of Helfinger
You had better keep out of the way
or you are liable to get hurt, said one
of the officers, warningly
''oh, that's all right" replied the Ger
man; II guess he wouldn't hurt any,
body"
{. He had scarcely finished speaking when
the lunatfc gave him violent kick in
the shin and the inquisitive German went
limp1ng back to the, other end of the car,
his curiosity being more than satisfied.
The officers tied Helfinger's legs after
but they were obliged to hold his head
in one position all the way to prevent
him from splitting in their faces They
felt relieved when they delivered their

DEFENCE SUPPRESSED
Letters From Burns and
McManus Held Back
by the Grants.

The fight between the U. s. Grant AS
sociation and the Seventh Ward Repub-
lican Club still goes merrily on. All kinds
of charges and counter charge of treason,
party treachery and ulderhand politics
are being hurled back and forth.
In lengthy statement the Seventh
Ward Republican Club accuses the Off
GERS of the Grants with using unfair
means to freeze the organizers of the new
club out of the Grant Association when
they were still members of the Grant
Club. The blackballing of Edmund Birch
who Was proposed for membership by w
J. Burns, is quoted as an instance of the
underhand politics of the Grant Clut
officials.
The members of the Seventh Ward Re
publican Club are now attacking ex-
Alderman Edward Fry, the Republican
ward leader. They clairn that Fry is not
a fit man to run the politics of the ward
They say he lacks brains and political
sagacity.
Mr.. Fry strongly opposed their action
IN organizing the new club.

tains a variety Of politicians, and perhaps
one could be found to fill Fry's shoes. 4

MAY OVERRIDE VETO.
Mayor Hoos Will Not Back
Down On Telephone
Ordinance.

An impression prevails that the Street
and Water Board will pass the Hudson
Telephone Companys ordinance over the
Mayors veto. There was conference
this morning between one or two mem
bers of the Street and Water Board and
Counselor vredenburgh of the company,
and Philip Martin. But little could be
learned as to the result Of the conference.
The Street and Water Board, it is sad,
may possibly amend the ordinance
so as to include the one per cent. clause
demanded by Mayor Hoos
The Mayor said this morning that he
will not sign any ordinance that does not
embody the conditions asked for, and to
which the representatives verbally agreed,
but which were not embodied in the or
dinance passed by the Street and Water
Board. The Mayor says in reply to criti-
cisms of a paper hostile to his adminis-
tration. concerning his willingness to ac-
cept stock for the city in lieu of cash,
that the company having pleaded poverty
he believed in at least getting something
for the city as compensation for the valu-
able franchise granted.

competition between it and the New York
