The Contract for Dredging llnrleni
River. New fork.
Washington, October 30.—The contract for
dredging and improving the Harlem river,
New York, will l»e awarded to Rittenhouse
It. Moore, of Mobile. Ala., by the war de
pt.-tment. When proposals for doing the
work were opened, the bld of Mr. Moore
was found to be considerably lower than
those of his competitors, the next lowest
being that of a New Yotk lirm. The engineer
olli. ?r al New York, after ex (mining the
bids, forwarded them to Colonel Casey,
chief of engineers, with the recommendation
that the bid of the New Ye> k lirm be ac
cepted. He suggest***! that the bid of Mr.
Moore was informal te-cause of two irreg
ularities. Colonel Casey examined the bids
and endorsed the tecommendation oi the
New York engine* r ami sent the papers to
tli<- se*-retary of war in this shape. Sena
tor Pugh, of Alabama, heard of the objec
tion to the bid of Mr. Moore ami saw Colo
nel Casey atenit the matter. Soon after the
s*'iiator's visit. Colonel Casey re-considered
his action, struck out his approval of the
recommendation of the New York officer
and returned the matter to the secretary
with the recommendation that Mr. Moore
l*e awarded the contract. This is proltably
the first time that a tirm so far south has
succeeded in se*-uring such a large contract
in New York.
ENO’S <TSI *Ni:\T HICK.
The I ultcd Sttites Supreme Court Rc
niandN It to the Mntc Courts.
Washington. October 29.—The I'nited
States supreme court today reversed the
decision of the circuit court in the case
of John C. Eno. formerly president of the
Second National bank, of New York, who
was convict* 1 of forgery in the New York
state courts about ten years ago. Eno
rais,-d the point that the state courts were
without jurisdiction, and that he could
only l>e tried in the federal courts. This
view vs the law was upheld by the circuit
court, but is upset by today's decision of
tim supreme court, which remanded the
case to the state courts.
The ground on which Eno resisted state
court juris'liction was that offense under
the banking laws of the United States was
within th- exclusive jurisdiction of the
federal courts. The -ase has been watched
with interest by bank officials and others.
Justice Harlan rendered the decision of the
court, while Justices Eiel l nnd Shiras dis
sent-<1 in an opinion denying jurisdiction
of the state courts.
THE PRESIDENT AGREED AVITH KIM
Secrrtnry Carllnlr Will Not Mnkc Any

Washington. October 29.—Ser etary t’ar
•isle will no: make any political speeches
during tiie present campaign. The secre
tary had a conference with the president
this morning in regard to the matter. The
secretary told the presld* nt that he had re
ceived a very large number of invitations
to s|»-ak in different sections of the coun
try, and would very much like to accept
as many of them as he could fill, but there
w.-re a number of important questions
pending in his department that imperative
ly d- manded his presence in Washington
for some weeks to come.
Assistant Secretary Hamlin will leave to
day for West Virginia to speak at Martins
burg tomorrow and will then leave to take
part in the campaign in Massachusetts,
and Assistant Secretary Wlke was not ex
pected to return before the election, so
th- secretary felt that the public business
demanded that he remain in Washington.
The president agreed with the secretary
that attention to the public business should
be the first duty of every official and,
therefore, it was ih-eldcd that the invita
tions should be declined.
NA ILL Itt-ILEXSE THEM.

Washington. Novetnte-r 2.—The Nica
raguan government has acceded to tn.- re
quest of the I'nited States and has per
mitted the two exiled Americans, Willbank
and Lampton, who were given asylum on
board the Marblehead at Bluefields, to
land at that |>ort to close tln-ir personal
affairs. Nicaragua has also guaranteed to
grant them full amnesty upon their agree
ing to respect the authority of Nicaragua
over the Mosquito coast.
This action is entirely satisfactory to
the Unite’! States, as both of these men
w.-re exceedingly active in the last revo
lutionary council and the other acting as
a ju under Chief Clarence. This action
of Nicaragua ends the Jlos*iuito incident
ami permits the last remaining American
cruiser, Marblehead, to leave Bluetields.

CLEI EL IN/i AN/» HILL.
Elberton Stat : The attitude of President
Cleveland towards Senator Hill in his cam
paign in N* w York has caused a great deal
of adverse criticism of the president. He
did not register in New York, and is, there
fore, not qualifi-d to vote in that state. His
friends claim that he is a non-resident, but
the tax books show that he pays tax on
ss.”<»! worth of personal property and is
nsognized as a citizen, and is entitled to
vote in that state.
Savannah Dispatch: The defeat of Sena
tor Hill may cause the demo*-rats to lose
many seats in congress. Losses in that
body mean much. Should the election of a
president be thrown in congress it may be
a populi.-t or a rtpublii-an. IK-mocratic bar
in. ny should In- secured at all luumrds and
at ail sacrifices.
Aineri’-us Times-Recorder: When It was
with apparent authority announce*! from
Washington that the president would give
the democratic party in New York to un
derstand that he was as good a democrat
as Senator Hill, and would by a public an
nouncement or letter remove the well
grounded doubt that existed as to his de
sire fur the success of the state democratic
ticket led by Senator Hill. The Times-Be-
corder took the opportunity to commend
the patriotism of Mr. Cleveland in sitting
down on the traitors in New York even
though they were his personal friends. But
it seems that anything good that could be
said about the president’s attitude towards
the party that has made him what he Is,
is premature, and not likely to be justified
by the facts. The president still sulks In
his tent.
West Georgia News: The 1 democratic
party in New York needs the services of
President Cleveland. Honored by the party
as he has been, how can he decline to speak
a word for Hill?
Sparta Ishmaelite: The Columbus Enquir
er-Sun thinks that Cleveland has done all
that he ought to to secure the success of the
democratic ticket in New York. With the
average cti’-koo organ Cleveland's actions
constitute the only standard of political vir
tue. If he were to vote the straight repub
lican ticket in November his Georgia or
gans would commend him for it. And he
is not too good a democrat to do it.
Americus Times-Recorder: Fortunately,
we have a democratic vice president with
a memory and a political conscience. Ad
lai Stevenson is on the battle field If Cleve
land is not. Let all New York democrats
rejoice that they helped to elect a. derno
catic vice president, at least, in November,
1892!

A Leading Biinlik-mm Republican Ex

Columbus, 0., Special in Cincinnati En
quirer.
Mr. Henry A. Lanman, one of the most
prominent republican business men in the
state capital, who, while one of the state
contractors in a limited way, runs one of
the largest manufacturing establishments
outside of the city, employing many hun
dreds of hands, has some very decided
views on the silver question. I met him to
day and had a very interesting talk with
him.
"1 understand,” said I, "that you are not
in accord with your party on the silver
question.”
"1 am not.”
"As a business man will you give your
reasons tor differing with jour party lead-
“Cheerfully, and yet it is not my custom
to talk politics, but I will stale the reasons
which impel me to depart from my usual
party affiliations in the coming <-l< ction. it
is certainly not because of any personal ob
jection to the candidate heading the ticket
of my party. On the contrary, 1 know him
to possess the qualities of mind and heart
which characterize a true gentleman, with
abilities which qualify him to till acceptably
til- ofiire he seeks, but the awful calamities
w hich now atilict not only our country, but
the whole civilized single standard nations,
so belittle ail other issues as to sink person
al considerations into insignificance.”
"Speaking as an employer of labor how
does the situation strike you?”
“As an employer of labor, never have I
been more touched by the misfortunes of
my fellow men than last winter, when 1
saw, one cold, rainy morning, a company
of men returning from one of our parks,
having failed to obtain work at 90 cents per
day. It was not an uncommon occurrence,
but 1 shall never forget that despairing
look of men willing, but unable, to sell their
lal>or for what would, at best, supply only
the barest necessities of even a small fam
ily.
“These arc certainly not natural condi
ti* ns in this fertile valley of th*- Scioto- this
land of plenty. Favored by nature with so
many resources, opportunities should not be
wanting for men to obtain at least a decent
living.”
"Will you give me an outline of the rea
sons which led up to your present conclu
sions?”
"I shall not attempt a discussion of the
nt* rt-y question, but mention a few facts
leading up to my conclusion.', and causes
which produce these unnatural effe ts. Tin?
tariff and other assigned reasons may con
tribute to it, but with the best light I have
I>< able to obtain, the chief on-- (compare 1
with which all others are but trifles) is
the constant and unnecessary appreciation
of the money of ultimate redemption—gold.
1 have for years given some thought and
study to th*- demonetization of silv -r, and
have supposed that the time- would come
when the business of the world would ad
just itself to the new conditions, following
out that law held by all political econo
mists, that the value of all commodities of
the world is measured by all tin- money in
oil-ulation. We had. in round numbers,
o* of gold and silver in use as
money iu 1872. sl,ttOO,ooo,<W of which was
: tripped of its inoncj- function and r legat
ed to a commodity. The effect is the sama
as though it had all been gobi, and one
half swept out cf existence. Following out
th*, law above quoted, all prices reckoned
by tne gold standard would d -i-iine one
half their former values, or what is the
same, money would appreciate.”
"Then, (he tendency in that direction?"
"This lias been nearly accomplished; the
ories have been verified bj- events; and wer
this all. limit’, ss would gradually resume
its wont* 1 channels on the basis of the
change 11 vcl of prices; but there remains,
what to m,* seems an insurmountable ob
stacle to its accomplishment, and that is
the payno nt of long-time contracts. Frew
en estimates t. nt the world's debts amount
to the incomprehensible sum of $150,u00,t>00,-
oo!». Granted that, the principal will never
be paid, the inter*-.t on this sum, estimated
at the low rate of 3 per cent per annum,
amounts to $4,5-O,(it>0,000, which the d.btor is
to discharge annually. While this sum is
enormous, equalling •-:u-h year nearlj’ twie*-
the national debt of the I nited State; at
the highest point, no one should obj ci to its
payment if honestly contracted, but when
the debtor must perform two days’ service
to cancel tin obligation which, but for leg
islative action. In- could have done witii one,
I not only believe the transaction unfair,
hut, as above slated, impossible to accom
plish. It is not a question of disposition
but of ability. The-struggling debtor may
make a brave fight, but with steadilj- in
creasing burd ns and constantly decreas
,ng cuportunities, as a consequence of a
persistence in the present policy, nation
and individual must finally succumb to the
it cv-table .and lay down the burden either
tliKtigh peaceful legislation or financial
revolution, of which socialism, strikes and
repudiation are as the distant thundcrlngs
which foretell the coming storm.”
“And th-- reasons for this?”
"Tin- situ.-lion now upon us is only tho
legitimate re.-ult of the violation of well es
tablished economic laws, a departure from
which is as sure to bring disaster as that
strychnine tak*-n into the human stomach
will ass et the action of the heart.
"Earn* st S*-yd, one of tho best students
ami brightest tninkers on economic ques
tions of this generation, in 1871, two years
before the demon- tizatlon of silver in tins
■■ untry, predict* d what has already tran -
pired, and that commerce ami manufac
turers will go backward until tiie real cause
te'-eomes recognized and the natural remedy
applied.
"Senator Jones raid in the United States
senate last summer: ’lf the people of this
country do not destroy th*- gold standard it
will destroy them.’ Growing out of this
bui’d*-n-iinposing and ill-advised legislation
it can te- shown that we pay England, in
unearned increment, SI2S,WJO.()'<IO per year—
that our homo production is cut down from
sl.4ot*,o'H»,ooo by at least one-third, entailing
hllcness and its attendants, crime and pau
perism.
"But what must interest all manufactur
ers and business men is tne fact that unless
silver is remonetized gold will continue to
appreciate in value, and just so long as it
does do this we cannot hope for any perma
nent revival of business. ’’
"Will you support Hie entire democratic
state ticket?”
"That is my intention. I shall vote for
Turner, th*- democratic candidate for secre
tary *.f stat*', so that my vote shall be re
corded in favor of my convictions, and 1
have no doubt that many republicans in
Ohio will do the same thing for the same
reason.”

Raleigh, N. C., November 3.—(Special.)—
Oscar Spears, republican nominee for con

man Marion Butler. He calls Butler a liar,
anil dares him to meet him at Goldsboro.
Spears went to Goldsboro today. Butler had,
however, left there and gone to Greens
boro, so there was no meeting.
The demiocratic state chairman says to
night that an immense amount of work is
being done and that fusion is breaking
down. He has a telegram announcing that
ex-Congressman Buck Kitchen, who has
been one of the chief populist speakers,
today withdrew from the populist legislative
ticket in Halifax countj’ and will support

Prominent democrats said today that
beyond question the political condition is

say it is due to three causes: First, tho

the inability of the fusion leaders to de

sedid democratic delegation to congress in
spite of the bolt of the sugar planters,
which at one time was regarded as so
serious and likely to lose the democrats
three districts. The change has been
brought about by a change In the political
issues before the people, accompanied by
the greatest political activity and a vigor
ous campaign. The fight was begun on the
tariff issue, but the democrats succeeded in
tinning it on the race question, and this
hi Id the white voters together. A row in
th*- registration otlice in this city between
whites and negroes, aroused some race feel
ing. Then followed the race and labor
♦roubles on the levee, where the white
w*»rkii;g men re-fused to work with the
negroes, wound up in a riot, in which one
negro was drowned and several injured.
Coining as this did, just before the election,
it united the whites and strengthened the
democracy. The republicans aeknowcldge
that they have lost ground anil are devoting
their energies :*t present mainly to the col
ic -lion of evidence upon which they can
base a contest. should there be a
republican majority in the house.
Therir struggle, therefore, will be
mainly as a basis for ;i contest rather than
tn the hope of electing any congressmen.
The Louisiana delegation will stand: First
district, Adolph Mayer: second, Charles F.
Buck; third, Andrew Price; sou-th, Henry
W. Ogden; fifth, Charles .1. Boatner; sixth,
S. M. Robertson. All are democrats and all
except Buck are members of the present
congress.

TAPLEY IN TROUBLE.
A I’spuliat Editor in Tannessee Charged
with Sedition.
Ripley, Tenn., October 30.—E. F. Tap
ley, < iitor of The People’s Advocate, a
populist newspaper issued at this place,
was arrested yesterday on the Charge cf
sedition, growing out of the publication
i f an artiel - in the last issue of that paper.
The article in question Is as follows:
“After considering the matter, it has
be -t determined to hold a mass meeting
which all honest people are invited to at
tend, in the eourth'ouse next Saturday, No
vi mli r 3d, at 1 o’clock p. m. The object
of this meeting is to give expression to the
determination now formed in the minds
and* hearts of tin- people to die rather
than submit to anything but a fair eie *-
lion on Tuesday, November 6th. That th y
hive ail come to this conclusion it does
not require much time or conversation to
demonstrate. To submit to such glaring
frauds as were practiced in the August
election is to surrender all manhood and
patriotism, and this the honest people of
old Lauderdale are not yet ready to do, and
before they will do it, they will soak the
sod with their blood. Every honest man
who desires a fair and honest election is
earnestlj’ urged to quit ills daily vocation
and come out on that day and show that
lie is at least on the side of justice and
right.”
Editor Talley was arraigned before a
magistrate, waived a preliminary exam
ination and was admitted to bail tinder a
bond of $2,5u0. The law under which he
was arrested is a section of the Revised
Statutes prohibiting the calling of meet
ings or mobs together for the purpose of
inciting a riot. Talley has frequently been
fn trouble on account of Uis fiery utterances
and was recently found guilty of libel and
compelled to pay sl,ti») d.images.

Houston, Tox., November X—The indica
tions are now that both Miles Crowley, in
the tenth, and William Henry Crain, in the
eleventh congressional districts, will be
elected with a good margin. Both men have
had a hard fight. Enemies with boodle and
malice within and without the party have
sought their defeat by every means in
their power. Crowley’s majority will be
about a thousand and hi.; plurality over
Rosenthal 5,"<!•). Crains’ majority in the
eleventh district over Weldon, fusion can
didate, will be about 3,000. J. C. Hutcheson,
in the first district, has a walkover by about
4.000. Little interest has been manifested as
be has practically no opposition. S. B. Coop
er in the second will have his usual ma
jority, though he has had some opposition
from tiie populists.
Watterson in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Pa., November I.—Colonel
Henry Watterson, of The Louisville Cou
rier-Journal, was enthusiastically greeted
by a large audience at the Academy of
Music tonlgh and delivered an address on
"Abraham Lincoln,” which was an elo
quent and pathetic tribute to the memory
of the martyred president. The lecture
was in aid of the fund raised by the Phil
adelphia brigade for the erection of a mon
ument at Antietam in memory of their
fallen comrades. After the lecture Colonel
Watterson was the guest of the Union

Montgomery, Ala., November 2.—(Special.)
Even at this late day—with the meeting of
the general assembly only ten days off—it
appears th.-I the Kolb convention which
has been called to meet here simulti-ne in
ly, is without a purijosc. At first the tend
ers of the movement threatened that they
would set up :.ep.irate legislature of their
own, declare their nomine ?s for slat-? offic'-s
elected, proceed to make laws and generaltj’'
take the management of affairs into their
own hands. It is not now believed that they
will seriously consider such a thing, know
ing how barret* it must be of results. The
populists and republicans have about a
third of the members of the house and
senate, and they recognize the fact that if
they go off into a movement to participate
in an unauthorized organization assembled
elsewh* re than at the capitol, their seats
in the assembly of rhe state will be prompt
ly filled with' others. It is not believed
here, however, that a rump legislature will
be attempted to be organize*!. Tile mis
guided ardor of the Kolb following has cooi
ed down since the state election and it is
thought that the many law-cbi ling and
level-headed men on that side will caution
conservative action. At any rate, every
body is anxious to see what the Kolb fol
lowing v iil do and the convention here on
the eve of the assembling of the legislature
is awaited with unusual interest.

a great victory for that element.

his right to register, was denied flatly by
Mr. F. L. Stetson, of the firm, today, and
he added that Mr. Cleveland, as a lawyer,
was thoroughly conversant with his rights
in the case. The slight put on the party by
the president has also fallen on individuals.
Dati Lockwood fully expected a letter in
support of the democracy from his friend,
Mr. Cleveland. It was Lockwood who
brought him out for offices he held in Buf
falo and in Erie county, and it was Lock
wood who enlisted the interest of Mr. Man
ning and others, who afterward successful
ly pushed him forward for the presidency.
The present time, then, would have been
Mr. Cleveland’s golden opi»ortunity to have
repaid Mr. Lockwood for his many favors
by merely writing a paragraph favorable
to the state ticket on which Mr. Lockwood
holds the second place. The letter has not
been written, nor will it be unless it la
title that he is a believer in "grandstand
finishes,” and is waiting until everybody
has half his say. If such is the case he
is hearing some very unpleasant things.
For instance. The Sun's leading editorial
today sa_ys:
"Sir. urover Cleveland, was never before
like himself titan when he slunk away to
Washington on Thursday. He had refus
ed to lift a pen or say a word in behalf o$
the New York democracy, which picked him
up from the foot of Erie county gallows
and made him governor and president. He
had sten the democrats of New York fight
ing lor the lite of their party against a
combination of republicans made confident
of victory by his amazing blunders, and
treacherous democrats of the faction he
had made is a study to encourage and re
ward; and he wouldn’t help his party. He
preferred to continue to help the republi
cans and the traitors. Senator Hill has
done valiant service for him in his cam
paigns, and he would do nothing fur Sen
ator Hill, now lighting against great
odds, the most gallant of his many bat
tles, fur the democracy. The oemocrats of
other states looked to Mr. Cleveland as
the titular head of his party to aid by all
legitimate means the canvass of the New
York democrats because the hopes of tho
national democracy are bound up in the
success of tiie canvass. Experience should
have taught the democrats better. They
should have known before this that he re
gard.-, it as the sole duty and purpose of
the democratic p:-rtj’ to keep him in office.
It doesn’t occur to him tiiat there is any
obligation oil his part to do anything lur
the party.
"As a new document in the history of the
leading case of enlargement of the faculty
of self-esteem, Mr. Cleveland’s slinking
a .vay to a: iiington has an interest. It
may recall attention to the fact that no
t uis cf gramude, personal or political,
are foreign to a nature monopolized by long
a Imitation of itself. The Ueinocratic par
ty New York will go on with the sturdy
1 mocratic principles and organi
zation. too busy tor the present to pay to
Mr. Cleveland’s astounding display of polit
ical inertia the tribute it deserves.”
