WHAT THE VICTORY MEANS UTTERANCES OF THE PRESIDENT AND VICE-PRESIDENT-ELECT. ‘Let Thera ba Revenue Reform, Let Thera be Reduction of Taxation* The following utterance of Gro ver Cleveland in his speech at Newark, N. J., may well bo recalled now to show where he stands on tbo subject of revenue reform: i “Of course these industries no cessitate the existence of a large laboring population. This force, in my opinion, is a further element of strenetb and greatness in the State. Ko part of the community should he more interested in a wise and just administration of their government, none should be better informed n* to their needs and rights, none should be better in. iormed as to their government, none should guard more vigilantly against the smooth pretense of fatso friends. In common with alt other citizehs they should desire an honest, economical manage ment of publio affairs. It is quite plain, too, that people have a right to demand that no more money be taken from them, directly or indi rcctly, for public U9es' than is necessary for this purpose. Indeed, the right of the government to ex act tribute from the citizen is limited to Us actual necessities, and every cent taken from the people beyond that required for protection by the government is no better than robbery. Wo must condemn, then, a system which takes from the poekets of tho peo ple millions of dollars not needed to support the government and which tempts the inauguration of corrupt schemes and extravagant expenditures. The Democratic par- ty lias declared that all taxation should bo limited by the require ments of economical government. This is plain and direct. It dis tinctiy recognizes the value ot labor and the rights of governmen lal care when it further declares that the necessary reduction of taxation and the limitation thereof to the country’s needs should bo effected witboat depriving Amert can labor of its ability to compete successfully with foreign labor and without injuring the interests of our laboring population.” And now let tboso who say that there must be ue further tariff agi tation read the following extract from Vice President Hendricks’ speech at Indianapolis since the election: , ,, • ., “We have learned in this con test that truth is stronger than lies, and the party that hereafter reaches power will reach it by truth, and not by lies. Tbo Democmtio par ty, 1 believe, will come into power. It sincerely desires reform. The watchword i of the party in this contest, as in the contest eight years ago, has been reform—exec utive, administrative and revenue reform—an honest construction of the laws and an honest adminis tration of them. The revenue now collected; exceeds the wants of an economical administration by $85,- 000,000. Be-ause of this Demo crats say let tliero bo revenue ro- form, let that reform consist in part in the reduction of taxation Is it not patent to every man that there ought to bo reform here? The Democratic'party this year comes before tbe country with a clear straightforward statement of e reform they intended to accom plish. In tbo national platform they declared What reform they would have. It was, first, that taxation shall not exceed the want* of tbe government economically administered; second, that taxa tion shall be for public purposes alone, and not for private gain or advantage; third, that in tbe ad justment care shall be taken to neither hurt labor nor harm capi- til; and, fourth, that taxation shall | be heaviest on articles of luxury and lightest on articles of neces sity. ■ “At the great convention in Chicago this banner was put into the bands of Cieveland and Hen dricks. We took it to carry it be fore the people, to rise or fall With the glorious banner. That banner I have carried over Indiana. Wherever I hare gone I have preached that as the true doctrine of ilie spirit of taxation, and the result has been four, five and six thousand Democratic, majority in Indiana. This is our doctrine on tbosubject of itaxatiod. and ft is right tbstthsT people should under stand this qusstion,” DYING BY THOUSANDS. Frlffbfal Mortality Antony tbo Mob at Work ob tbo Pabama Cabal. The steamship Colon, (from As- pinwall, landed 28 cabin passen gers at tbe Bargo Office yesterday morning, says the New York Times of Nov. IS. George Mowbray, of Brooklyn, was among the number. Four month ago be left his home a healthy young machinist, under contract to work for Slavin & Co. the California dredging contractors on the Panama canal. He returns the very shadow of his former self, emaciated and broken down by the deadly Chagres fever. “There are 40,000 men employ ed on tbo oanal,” be said, “distri buted all the way from Colon or Aspinwall to P.nama. The dis tance by rail is not over 30 miles between those two points. I was a machinist and engineer, and could make, by working overtime, $250 per month, but I could not stand the climate. Tbe wages for skilled workmen is $5 50 per day, and for laborers $3 to $4 per day. The latter are recruited among the natives and runaway sailors, who will leave $18 a month, and take chances of siokness and death for the $3 or $4 per day. You ask about, the mortality f Well, that is frightful. Hundreds die month ly, and the hospitals are constant ly filled with the eiok. It is said that nine out of ten of tbe patients who are sent to these hospitals die there. If the dead man has money or influence, he is put into a pine box and buried; otherwise his body if dumped into a pit and quicklime thrown over him. There is an old saying that every tie of the Panama Railroad represents a tombstone for some poor unfotunate. Now it is true that every foot of exoa- vated ground symbolizee a grave. The canal is twelve feet deep and from eighty to ninety feet wide. The rains, which are abundant, not only Interfere with the work, but ofton cause tho banks to cave and fill up the canal. Board that ono can get in New York for $2 50 per week costs there from $10 60 to $15 per week. “In my valiso,” osntinned Mow bray, “I havo aeverai letters from mon who aro now dead to their friends in this oonntry. One is from H. L. Dunbar, who was a clerk for the Panama Railroad. Ho died the day before we left Aspin- wall. Tte letter was written by him to his brother, who works at Nos. 58 and CO Worth street, this city, and I received it from him while he lay in the Uharity Hos pital. A French engineer named Deugieres arrived a few days ago vnd assumed the chief directorship of the operations.” Sergeant Brainerd,of th* Greely party, said that Ellison never com plained, and whenever any com plaint was made' by others bis simple ramark was: “Boys, I don’t see what you have to com plain ol; I don’t complain.” That romark was always sufOcilht to stop tbe grumbling. Corporal Elli son never knew that he had loit both feet. A month alter his feet were gone some one asked him how he felt. He answered he was feel ing all right, but the bottom of bis right foot itched. It was feared that if Informed of the lost of his feet tbe shock would have killed him. Every time the stumps of his legs were dressed a screen was so placed that he could not see their condition. Tbe Snow sad Sleet lu New York sad Elsewhere. Port Jervis, N. Y., Nor. 19 Tbe snow began falling shortly before midnight last night and this morning there were two inches on the ground, and tbe snow is still falling. It has now changed to sleet.

Am auiSad* mt Om SSO I •e—Hew Is Will Be viaisk**, Washington, Norember 19.— Tbe Washington monument to day reached a greater height than that of any other etrnotnre in the world, being 520 feet ten inobes abort the floor of tbe monument. The next highest structure is tbe epireof tbe Cologne cathedral, wbiob tower* 515 feet above the floor of the building. It ba* been eitimated that it will take bnt twenty-fire working days to complete tbe monument, to there is not theleait doubt of it being finished In time for its dedication on tbe 22nd of next February. A* tbe construc tion of the roof progresses, tbe question which excite* tbe most curiosity is how tbe capstone i* to be placed in poiltion. People pas sing along the itreet look up and see tbe large mast wbiob supports tbe boom for lifting stone, projec ting above the monument through the very point wbiob will be occu pied by the capstone, and wonder how the latter can be placed In posi tion when tbe mast ft taken down. Tbe followingistbemanner in which tbe work will be done. When only nine more stones are wanted to tbe summit, a little platform will be built around tbe roof which will be finished up to that point. Tbit platform will be bracketed to large timbers extending along the out side surface of the roof and resting upon the large platform wbiob can be seen at the top of tbe shaft proper on the outside. The. nine stones needed to complete tbe work will be hoisted by tbe big boom, which is now at work, ana placed on tbe. platform. The mast and boom and whole hoisting apparatus will be then taken down and en tirely removed. In He place will be creeled a quadrupod, tbs baso resting npon ihe little platform re ferred to. At tbe apex of this quadrupod, which will be directly above tbe location of the capstone, will be a blook and taeklo by which tbe remaining stones will be raised and pnt in place. After tbe stones are all up, tbe quadrupod will be re moved, then the bracketed platform and lastly tbe heavy timber* wbiob supported it. The men will reaob tbe large platform by mean* of a ladder. The work will then be oompleted, with tbe exception ot removing the large platform. Ita timbers will be taken in at tbe windows, tbs last man on the oat- side entering one of tbe permanent windoes on the east'side, and tbe iron beams whlob supported the platform will be drawn in, and tbo boles which were left for them to pass throngb will ba replaced by marble blooks, and everything will be finished. Marmalade is now nude from banana skins in Philadelphia. An enterprising Italian baa opened a factory anil employs about twenty Italian boys, who gstbsr tbs banana skins from tbs gutters and carry them to tbe factory, where they are washed, ground and cook ed, with sugar ana flavoring.
