Those who are fond of the great Ameri

It is said to be more profitable to raise
hogs that grow rapidly than those that

pected to become younger and leaner.
This will be bad news, however, for the
colored citizen, who loves his pork just a
little fatter than lard Itself.
It appears that the Maine Republicans
have Just gotten an inkling that the De

money in that State.and they are thorough

possible, than the Democrats, who have
been heretofore considered as really hav
ing no hope of’earrying the State. It may
be that the Republican managers are
merely affecting alarm in order to bring
out a Bill vote in the State election.
The Federal Council of Switzerland has
been making some Investigations into the
liquor traffic, induced by petitions sent
up from the cantons. The report has been
embodied in a blue book sent to the As
sembly, and shows from statistics that
the consumption of alcoholic liquors is
greater in Switzerland per capita than in
any other country in Europe, that the
consumption of brandy is increasing, and
that misery and want are also increasing.
The sales of liquor in Switzerland amount
to 140,000,000 annually. The Council re
fuses to recommend restrictive legisla
tion, and defends social drinking on the
ground that it contributes to sociability,
and makes cheerful, public spirited citi
zens. The report is a remarkable docu-
Hendricks’ Speech.
Mr. Hendricks' speech, delivered at
Indianapolis last Saturday, is apparently
having a very good effect. It was ex-
Utly the kimi of a speech that was needed
to dispel any doubts that might have ex
isted in the public mind respecting the
position of the Democratic party upon
the important issues of the campaign.
Republican orators and organs have done
the be9t they could to create such doubts,
and, doubtless, they propose to continue
their work in that line.
Mr. Hendricks bandied the tariff issue
boldly. He has had experience enough to
know that boldness commands respect
and admiration, and that timidity excites
pity and contempt. A few Democratic
journals express regret whenever allusion
is made to the tariff by Democratic ora
tors. The speech of Senator Jones, of
Florida, at the mass meeting of Irishmen
in New York last week, called out regrets
from some of the Democratic protection
journals. Mr. Hendricks, also, will
receive perhaps mild censure for dis
cussing the tariff. These Democratic
protection journals appear to think that
the people will hear nothing about the
tariff if Democratic orators refuse to dis
cuss it. How they can make such a mis
take is one of the things that is not easily
understood. The Republican papers and
orators are doing all they can to keep the
tariff question prominently before the
people. They depend upon it largely to
elect their candidate. If Democrats do
not discuss it, the fatal impression will
get abroad that they are afraid of it.
The position of the Democratic party
on the tariff ought to contribute a great
deal towards the success of the party
iu the present campaign. Any one
who reads Mr. Hendricks’ speech can
hardly help reaching the conclusion that
the greatest need of the country at pres
ent is a reform and reduction in the tariff.
There are $400,000,(#;0 locked up iu the
Treasury. This great sum does not rep
resent anywhere near all that has been
unneee-sarilv taken from the pockets of
the people. Bonds to the amount of many
millions more than the law required have
been purchased simply because it was
necessary to do something with the accu
mulations in the Treasury. Nearly SIOO,-
000,000 more than is needed to administer
the government is annually collected. In
the face of all these startling facts the
Republicans opi>ose a reduction of the
tariff.
The $400,000,000 in the Treasury is so
much money withdrawn from the busi
ness of the country. That the greater
part of it ought to be in circulation is
shown by the stringency of the money
market and the difficulty in getting money
to carry on legitimate enterprises.
It cannot be very long before all the
bonds that have reached maturity, or that
will reach maturity tor quite a number of
years, will have been paid. What then
will be doue with the surplus? Will it be
allowed to accumulate in the Treasury
to encourage corrupt legislative schemes?
Ot course the tariff taxes must be re
duced, and it is the purpose of the Demo
cratic party to reduce them. What is the
use of saddling an extra burden of SIOO,-
000,000 a year on the people? The bur
den is really greater than that, because
the present high protection tariff enables
manufacturers of many kinds of goods to
get extraordinary profits.
No sensible person believes that it is
the purpose ol the Democratic party to
make such violent or radical reductions
as will damage business interests. The
Republicans, however, are doing their
utmost to create a false impression on
this point. It is the duty of the Demo
cratic press to see that they do not suc
ceed. The position of the Democratic
party is that the point at which only
enough revenue will be produced to meet
the expenses of the government, economi
cally administered, must be reached
gi initially; but there ought to be no doubt
that it must be reached. The country
certainly can never be converted to
Blaine’s scheme of dividing the surplus
revenue among the States or of Logan’s
scheme of settiug apart the whisky and
tobacco tax lor educational purposes.
The people have already borne a heavy
burden too long to build up monopolies to
sanction schemes of that kind.
Conklins Donkins Towards the
Senate.
It is thought that Conkling would like
to have the seat in the Senate which he
so hastily resigned tbree years ago. Not
withstanding the stories of the immense
sums he is making in his law practice,
and the enjoyment it is alleged he finds in
being free from political cares, it is be
lieved that he is ambitious to appear once
more on the scene of hi 9 greatest tri
umphs. He certainly has been employed
in a great many important cases since he
left political life, but bis success has not
been great. His reputation brought him
practice, but it is tar from certain that be
can hold it. He is ar. an of very great
ability, but not a first-class lawyer.
There are very many better lawyers in
New York, and litigants will soon recog
nize that fact. Conkling is better fitted
for the Senate than the law courts. It is
not to be wondered at, therefore, that he
is anxious to get back there.
The indication that he is looking m that
direction is found in the fact that the stal
warts and lialf-breeds in New York are
each making desperate efforts to get a
majority of the Republican members of
the next Legislature. The next Legisla
ture chooses a Senator, and if the Repub
licans have a majority and the stalwarts
control that majority, the caucus nominee
in all probability will be Conkling.
Of course, the half-breeds, the active
sympathizers with Blaine, would iike to
have the Senatorship, because they would
then control the entire Federal patronage
in the State. The leading Blaine candi
dates for the Senatorship are Chauncey
Depew and Whitelaw Reid.
This local fight over the Senatorship,
however, is not allowed to interfere with
the work of carrying the State for Blaine.
While the stalwarts have no great love
for Blaine they cannot afford to have the
State lost to the party by any inactivity
on their part.
It is among the possibilities, therefore,
that Conkling will again represent New
York in the Senate.
Another Art-tic Expedition Proposed
It is reported that already there is a
proposition to send out another Arctic*
expedition. The terrible fate with which
a portion of the Jeannette expedition met
and the horrors of the Greely expedition
appear to have no effect in preventing
other expeditions.
It is said that Engineer Melville, who
was w ith the Jeannette expedition, and
who went with Commander Schley in
search of the Greeiy party, is to be the
commander of the new expeditioa. En
gineer Melville thinks that he can
reach the North Pole by way of
Franz Josef's Land. The money for the
expedition is to be furnished by Cyrus W.
Field and the New York Yacht Club. It
is expected to be ready to start in about a
year. Engineer Melville, it is reported,
will soon apply for a leave of absence for
two years.
Mr. Field and the New York Yacht
Club will furnish the money to procure
the vessel and necessary outfit, but who
will furnish the money to fit out an expe
dition to huut for the survivors? The
government, doubtless, will be expected
to do that. Iu view of the fact that Arc
tic expeditions generally meet with disas
ter, it is fair to assume that the Melville
expedition will have to be looked after.
Engineer Melville is a brave man, and,
since bis home was broken up, would
probably prefer to be in the frozen North
seeking the fame that has eluded so many
than to be in Washington or on the finest
ship at the most desirable station in the
world. He will have no trouble in find
ing adventurous spirits to accompany
him. There never has been any trouble
in getting men for such expeditions.
There is no reason to expect that Arctic
exploration will cease, however terrible
the late of explorers may be, until the
mystery surrounding the North Pole is
solved.
Instead of declaring war China has of
fered a reward for the heads of all French
men. When the French commander pre
sents the heads, arms and bodies of 25,000
soldiers to the Imperial authorities at Pe
kin, he will, doubtless, be allowed to
have any reward he wants.
The South’s Share of the Offices, j
Civil Service Commissioner Gregory is
not at all pleased, it seems, with the tone
of an Atlanta dispatch which stated that
his son Alfred had not lived long enough
in Atlanta to wear out his Illinois boots.
The occasion of this reference to young
Alfred's boots was the announcement that
he had been appointed an examiner in the
Pension office, and had been put down as
having been appointed from Georgia.
It seems that the young man has lived
in Atlanta about a year, but there is noth
ing stated to show whether he had ever
expressed an intention to make that city
his home. It may be that he was simply
staying there until a suitable opening for
employment presented itself. Of course
he could not have held a very
position in Atlanta, supposing he had any
position, or he would not have given it up
to accept a small government place.
If the young man is a bona fide resident
of Georgia there was no reason why he
should not have had himself appointed
from this State, but if he isn’t he ought to
be invited to resign at once. There are
plenty of young men iu Georgia, doubt
less, about whose residence there can be
no question, and who could very well
pass the necessary examination, who
would like to have the position Mr. Greg
ory holds. Of course Mr. Gregory couldn’t
have secured an appointment from Illi
nois, because the quota of that State is
full. There are a good many people in
the departments at Washington who are
recorded as having been appointed
from someone of the Southern States,
who either were never in the South or
never acquired a legal residence in any
State of the South. As it is understood
that the offices under the civil service
law are not reserved for Republicans, it
would l>e a good thing for the heads of de
partments not to credit appointments to
Southern States before the appointees
have worn out their Northern boots.
Commissioner Gregory is not to be
blamed for being happy because his
son has secured a nice little govern
ment office, but there would be rather
more respect for the civil service law if
the South's share of the offices were not
captured by men who have never cast a
ballot or paid a cent’s taxes in the South.
The United States Cremation Company,
of New York expects to do a fine business
as soon as its bakery is completed. Many
bodies have already been put in receiving
vaults preparatory to incineration. The
company boasts that it will soon emanci
pate the people of that city from the ex
tortion of the undertakers. The people
probably will not become very enthusias
tic on the subject until they see the sched
ule of prices of the cremation company.
They don’t want to “jump out of the fry
ing-pan into the fire” if they can help it.
CUR KENT COMMENT.
The Great Workingman Butler.

Onr Indian policy seems to be reduced to a

man iu charge of the Interior Department.
An Empty Claim.
Fete Orleans Times-Democrat (Deni.).
The Republican party may claim the Irish
vote, but their claim is as empty as the idle
wind; for the Irish voters are living heard
from all over the country; and, as they did in
New York on Thursday night, they are en
thusiastically pledging their fealty to the
Democratic party and its standard-bearers.
Butler Engs Slavery in.
Feir York Times (Ind. Rep.).
Gen. Butler was for years an ardent mem
ber and artful leader of this pro-slavery,
doughface Northern party, and practically
recognized the slavery not only of blacks but
of whites, including himself. It had not
struck us that slavery was a very live issue
in this canvass, and it requires a very squint
ing mental vision to see what Butler lias to
gain by lugging it in. We should say it re
lated to a chapter in his political history
which he would lie willing to have forgotten.

Americans who arc wont to rejoice in the
progressiveness of the country, doubtless de
light themselves with the innumerable de

English criminal trial there are no excep
tions, and after a verdict of guilty, no matter
how erroneous the law nas been laid down or
how illegal the conviction, there follows no
appeal except for mercy at the Home Office,
which is rarely granted.

at one time the monopoly of the African trade
out of Boston. He loaded his vessels with
New England rum at an invoice price ot about
20 certs per gallon, which sold on the coast
for about $2 per gallon, in exchange for ivory,

stood that Gregory would represent White in
Atlanta white the latter was with the com
mission. ami i hat, in fact, Gregory would in a
few weeks represent White with the commis
sion itself, while the latter would return to
his Atlanta business. The übiquitous news
paper men got hold of the scheme and
frustrated it. That left Gregory in Atlanta
with nothing to do, and here he has remained
ever since, waiting for something to turn up.
It seems that while waiting he has had the
commission to put him down as a Georgia
man. and thus he comes into a place which he
will ll'l creditably enough, hut for which
Georgia is in no way responsible.

IIE DIVED WHILE ASLEEP.
Why a Man Took a Header from a Fly
ing Train of Cars.
Louisville, Ky., Aug. 29.— Samuel
Thompson, a wealthy planter from Geor
gia, and son Robert, left Louisville for St.
Louis on the Ohio and Mississippi sleeper.
There were not many passengers on the
train, and at midnight all of them were
sound asleep. The train was speeding
aloDg at the rate of forty miles an hour,
when all at once the sleeping-car porter
heard a wild scream which came seem
ingly from the forward platform of the
coach.
He informed the conductor and an im
mediate search of the sleeper was made,
resulting in the discovery that the berth
of young Robert Thompson was empty.
The train was stopped and the father of
the youug man, together with the brake
man, walked back about four miles, when
they found young Thompson sitting on a
cross-tie, painfully cut and bruised. He
said he had been dreaming of a swimming
tournament and, imagining himself on a
springing-board in a natatorium, had
walked to the platform and plunged off'.
Fortunately the train was running
through a level country and his leap did
not result seriously.

A New York widow was taking the

children when she met a former lover,
with whom she entered into conversation.
“I am completely broken up, Amelia,”
he said, seizing her hand. “There is no
telling what I might not say and do if it
were not for these children.”
“Children,” said the fond mother, push
ing them away, “run over yonder where
the goat carriages are and play until I
send for you.”
