As an additional proof of the fallacy
of the Republican protection idea may
he cited the condition of affairs in Eu-
ope, which Is just reversed by the ad
vocates of protection In this country.
It has been shown that the laborers

The idea of the Republicans in Ibis
country is to protect these strong lab

sake of argument, that one side needs
protection. This Is n case of protect
ing the strong against the weak—a
precedent contrary t» the ethics of

upon English goods which are iiiiiihi-

strong.
Rut now oolites America whose lab

The legislative apportionment, of
the counties of New York, as made by
the last Legislature has been sustained
by the aourts. This will make the New

addlngone to the list of Democratic
Senators who are to be elected this
time.
According to the laws of Georgia It
requires a majority and not a plural
ity for the choice of presidential elec
tors In this State.
A plurality l« merely the excess vote
of one candidate over the candidate
having the next highest r. limber of

didate must have more votes than all
the other candidates combined.
Now that there nre three parties in
the Held, the Democratie vote must he
greater than the vote of flip other two
parties combined in order to elect
the Deuionratie electors.
This fact, which, up ro date, has not
been generally known, need cause no
consternation among the Democrats
in Hie State, bec-nnse Ihe terrible vote,
by which tin* Third Party was snowed

The past week m New York politics
has been n quiet one on account of the
great Columbian celebration. Rut the
talk of the week has been tile attempt
on the part of the Republicans to draw
Mr. Blaine out from the retirement of
private life to speak before the people
in the interest of the party. The Re
publicans have considered this as ab
solutely essential to party success.
Petitions to this able, but invalid,
statesman have been sent in by the
Harrison gang and even by Harrison
himself to come out and speak for tho
party’s sake. He has thus been be
sought to come to the aid of the very
man who has thwarted his life’s ambi
tion, and the petition caihe from that
man himself.
Mr. Blaine, at first, sternly refused,
but was at Inst lured to the country
home of Whitelaw Reid, at Opliir
Farm, near New York, where he was
visited hy several Republican leaders
and induced to make a short speech,
supporting Harrison, before a crowd
assembled around Reid’s front piazza.
Now that they have broken the ice,
they will continue in their efforts to
pull tlie weak and invalid statesman
before a New York audience, and
latest advices say that their efforts
have about met with success. This
course is syid to have been the only
hope the Republicans had of obtain
ing New York Stale, but the chances
ate that if will operate ns much
against them ns otherwise.

A Octree Rvluainil n Divorce in low*
May Drove it Warning.
rt'
The Supreme court of Iowa lias r
dere,(I a decision which embodies -a
world of truth and warning that
should interest every young woman ill
the land.
A wife lind made application fora
divorce on the ground that her hus
band was a continued drunkard, when
the evidence showed that she had
knowledge of his intemperate habits'
before she had married him. L
In refusing the petition the judj|,
said: “You voluntarily otiose a drun&
aid for husband, and you Bhould din
charge tlie duties of a drunkard’s wlfe.'j
His failure to keep a pledge of refor- 1
mutton before marriage does not justi- \
fy you in deserting him. Having
knowingly mnrried a drunkard, you
must make yourself content with the
sacred relationship.”
One of tlie greatest Democratic vic
tories of tlie day is the accession of
Wayne MncVcagh to tlie party’s ranks.
Not only that, but tie lias gone to wufk
in enrncsl for tlie party’s success in
November, lie made one of tlie most
logicill nnd pointed speeches of the
campaign on Saturday night in Phila
delphia. In the course of his remarks
he said:
“I have wntched with pain nnd alarm
the steady growth of tlie oorrupt use
of money in our politics nnd lmve been
constantly hoping that the Republi
can party would at. least turn Its faoe
toward lower duties on imports, nnd
against other forms of congressional
bounties in accordance with the teach
ings of so many of its greatest and
wisest lenders, and thus gradually di
minish the temptation to that awful
traffic—hateful alike to God and all
good men—the buying and selling of
votes.
“All my hopes, however, were disap
pointed, and from that day to this* the
conviction has been steadily growing
upon my mind that the general ten
dency of the Republican party was
only Inimical to the best interests of
the country.”
Tlie contest for the speakership of
the house is warming up considerably.
There are a number of candidates In
the Held notably among whom are
Hon, W. Y. Atkinson, of Coweta, Hon.
Jno. T. Boifeulllet, of Bibb, and Hon.
W. H, Fleming, of Richmond. Mr.
Atkinson will enter the race with the
great prestige of having done good
work for his party as chairman of the
Democratic state committee, but
neither Mr, Fleming nor Mr. Boifeuil-
let have been lacking in party fealty
rerwhi" ‘
or effort to bring about overwhelming
Democratic success. Mr. Fleming
receiving far more attention at pres
ent than either of the other candidates
mentioned, and his able qualities as a
parliamentarian, a man of quick but
excellent judgment, and as one who is
thoroughly familiar with the laws and
constitution of the state, recommend
him strongly to those before whom he
is a candidate. But the truth is this

The injunction case against the Sam

from Friday', Evbninu Hkhai.ii.
Some citizens of Albany, whose ^
names are not given, nre protesting
against the use of the Are department
ami water systeln hy those who live
near tlie city limits, but for various
reasons have never consented to have
them extended.
This morning’s Are brought out one
or two protests just on this line. The
houses which were on Are were just
outside the city limits on Soolety .
street, part of which street Is wlthlnjf
the city nnd part of it outside. It is
claimed that that street and the vicin
ity ought to he brought within
city limits before fire protection
tended to the houses thereon.
In one sense they are right. There
is no doubt about it, that section of
the city ought by all means to be
brought within the oity limits if they
expect to obtain all the advantages
afforded by the mnnloipal govern
ment; but that is no reason why a Are
outside the oity limits and close to It
should not be put out by the depart
ment when It Is so near as to be a
menace to those living inside.
This matter should be considered,
and this section should by all means
be brought within the oity limits and
