of Boston University, intending TO take

One of the most remarkable examples
of an elective office becoming hereditary
occurs in the recent designation of DR..

-Ex-Gov. George w. Peck of Wiscon-
sin explains the story of his ringing fire
alarm to get an audience by the statement
that at the time he was in charge of a re-
lief train to the starving miners at Hur-
ley, Wis. The Iaborers employed refused
to unload the cars unless they were paid
in advance, and Gov. Peck rang a fire
alarm. and when the crowd gathered made
a speech, successfully asking for recruits.
Russell Sage says he is fond of bust
ness from habit and can do as much
work now as he ever could. In the
course of a recent interview he remarked

great pleasure, are Overwhelmingly

Senator Hanna has made himself solid
with the black delegates from the South to
the National Convention. Throwing him
self into the breach made by Committee
man Payne, he has successfully defended
the colored politicians from their enemy
and saved them their jobs. But the prob
abilities are that the jobs of the colored
delegates to the approaching convention
will not furnish as rich pickings as have
been known in the past. Times are al
ways better with them when there is
close contest before the convention.

st. Louis got in a good body-bow upon
Chicago the other day at the Republican
National Committee meeting, when the
convention city was selected. Philadelphia
won by one vote. and that vote was cast
by Richard c. Kerens of st. Louis. Chica-
go thought Mr.. Kerens would vote for her
when he found his own town could not
capture the prize; but the st. Louis man
evidently had the drainage canal in his
mind, and sent the convention away to
the Quaker City.

FOR WHOM Is NH. PORTER WORK
INGf

Is MIR. Robert Porter still an agent of
the government? This is an important
question at this time. A London dispatch
says that he has just started from Liv-
erpool for New York, loaded with infor-
nation respecting the benefits of trusts
and the evils of municipal ownership.
There are many towns In England which
own the street car lines and the water
works by which they are served. There
are also in England an immense number
of trusts.
Mr.. Porter has been doing a great deal
of work for the government within the
last year or two, and the thought is being
thrown out that perhaps he is still a gov
ernment agent. If he is not, he is thought
10 be, and for that reason he has been
able to get a great deal of information
that would have been otherwise withheld
from him.
If he is not gathering information for
the government he must be an employee of
trusts or the Republican party. If of the
Republican party. that party must be in
tending to hedge on trusts in its national
platform 1t would be somewhat remark
able if IL should come out hatfooted
against them. If Senator Hanna has the
making of the platform it is pretty GER
tain that IL will not contain an unqualified
declaration condemning trusts.
Ii is possible that Mr.. Porter Is only
! toiler for trusts. Those institutions are
getting a little alarmed at the rising tide
of public sentiment against them, and
naturally are looking for arguments to
show that they are not so black as they
| are painted. Mr.. Porter will find argu-
ments of that kind II anybody can.

A dispatch from Duluth, Mimi, dis
credits the story that the Rockefellers,
who are large owners in the Mesaba iron
range, would be interested in the new
Frick steel concern that Is to rival the
Carnegie establishment. The Duluth story
is to the effect chat eight years ago Mr.
Carnegie secured large interests in the Me
saba mines. and two years ago secured
control of some Of the best mines In the
Lake Superior region. Besides that, a
compact exists between Carnegie and the
RockefelIers under the terms OF which the

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record Dem) says.
1.-THE Freedmen's pension bill introduced
the other day in the United States Sen
ate-by request according TO the senator
who secured its reference to the Pension
Committee-is the naked and scandalous
basis of a contemplate scheme by which
ignorant negroes in the South have been
swindled for some years past. The ras-
Gals who are promoting or pretending to
promote this preposterous and impossible
measure operate upon the credulity of the
poor blacks through "ex-SlaVe and pen
sion associations" taking remorseless toll
of the meager wages of poverty under a
pretense of securing government bounty
for former slaves. Instead of protecting
the deluded negroes, Congress helps on the
brazen fraud by formal committee refer
ence which serve to tighten the grip of
the scoundrels upon their victims"
The Louisville Courier Journal Oem.)
says: 1.-THE other day a tin-plate manu-
facturer testified before the Industrial
Commission that eighty mills had been
closed by the trust The trust controls
272 mills, eighty of which have been shut
down. And this I'm a period of great pros
perity and Industrial activity everywhere
else. First hundreds and then thousands
thrown out of employment i'm order that
can be extorted from those American con-
sumers who are able to buy at the high
prices The remedy for this is simple
and would be thorough. Abolish the high
duties on tin plate which enables the trust
TO exist There are some trusts which
such a remedy would not reach, but the
tin-plate trust Is not one OF them"
The New Orleans Picayune Dem.) says:

An analysis of the registration
figures contains much that is omi.
nous to the Republicans. AT Hop.
kinsville No. l ouly 9 Democrats
failed to state their party affilia,
tion, while more than 20 Republic
cans refused to say how they would
vote. At No. 2 it was even worse
for the Republicans. This is the
heaviest colored precinct in the
county. One white Republican and
two of the most prominent colored
men in the city registered as DEM
ocrats for the first time and Is
other colored men refused to give
their party affiliation. Only s
Democrats in this precinct neglect
ed to class themselves as straight
out Democrats and most of those
went into the recent primaries.
The figures indicate that most of
the scratching this year will be
done by Republicans, colored as
well as white.

DEMOCRATIC GAME.
Net Advantage of Nearly SO
Votes-CoIored Democrats.

The Democrats got the better OF
the registration Tuesday, although
the Republican clerks umpired the
registration in three out of four
districts. The total number reg

1896, the heaviest ever known. AS
there are three days of supplemental
registration at the clerks Office
Oct. 30, Oct. 81 and Nov. 1, the total
will in all probability exceed 1000.
The following figures comparing
the registration with that of 1896

Welcome.

London, KY, Oct. 4.-Senator
Goebel arrived here on an early
morning train and was escorted to
the Catching Hotel by large crowd
of Democrats. Goebel men were
pouring into his rooms all morning
TO grasp the hand of their can
didate for Governor. More than a

The speaking was arranged totake
place in theCourt House, but as this

ception in the mountains and ex-
presses himself as confident he will
win.
Leading Republicans called on
Mr.. Goebel this morning, several Of
whom had served with him in the
Senate, and expressed their friend
ship for him. The Democrats oi
this county will vote solidly fol
Goebel. 1t is expected he will pol
more than the usual strength of the
party. No Brown men are to be

Brown will not get six votes. The

to see the lady go up in the balloon.

The white vote this year is 389
in excess of the colored. In 1896 it
was 282 larger. This shows net
gain of 54. There was an actual
falling off of 80 in the colored vote
and an increase of Is in the white
vote. The Democratic gain will be
very gratifying. For the first time
on record number of colored men
registered as Democrats and they
were among the most respectable
representative of their race in the
city. A large number of others re-
fused to register as Republicans,
but stated when asked that they
would avail themselves of the privi-
lege of the secret ballot. Many gold
men who have claimed to be indie.

Democrats. There was but little
work necessary to get outot the vote
The Democrats are all aroused and

goes Democratic and the indications
are that it is fast becoming a re
liable Democratic city on popular
vote as well as by wards.
There was nothing to mar the
good order of the day about the
polls. In spite of some very foolish
threats in some quarters there wa:
no trouble of any sort and NJ
charges of unfairness in any pre-
cinct. Some votes held to be valic
