The 51st Congress spent most of the ten months it was in session in plotting and carrying out schemes the sole purpose of which was to perpetuate the rule of the Republi can party. There was not a meas ure of any importance proposed from the Republican side of either House which was not inspired by partisanship. The House rules were changed and the Speaker vested with auto cratic power, to enable them the more easily to carry out the measures which they contemplated, and to guard against accidents or contingencies which might possibly put in the power of the Democratic minority to defeat some of these measures they decided upon the grand larceny by which nine Demo cratic seats were seized and eight Republicans put into them, the other l i r . -. . ueing lert vacant Decause the Re publican who claimed it was dead. These preliminaries arranged the conspirators found themselves in shape to carry out the rest of the programme without fear of serious interference, and they carried it out with a coolness and deliberation as amazing as it was unprecedented. While the Reed gang were en gaged in constructing a Tariff bill to meet the approbation of the manu facturers, who furnish so much of the money to elect Republican Con gressmen and Republican Pesidents; a Pension bill to meet the approba tion of the pension agents, who also contribute freely, and secure the sol dier vote; a Force bill to turn elec tions into a mockery and put them into the hands of a few parti san tools appointed by partisan Judges, and other measures of a partisan character, the grave and dignified Republican Sena tors in the other end of the Capitol were engaged in converting sparsely settled western territories into States to ensure a Republican majority in the Senate for an indefinite period, and additional Republican votes in the next Electoral College, which with the new fraudulent apportion ment bill which they have agreed upon and intent! to pass will put them in pretty good trim for the next Presidential election. Virginia was partitioned and West Virginia wasv admitted into the Union during the war; Nevada, Col orado and Nebraska, the two former of which at the time they were ad mitted were a mere aggregation of mining camps, were also admitted to increase the Republican strength in Congress, but there was nothing half so scandalous in the ad mission of these as there was m the admission of the last six territories, for which there is neither defense nor apology. With the ex ception of South Dakota there was not one of them which had popula tion enough to entitle it, under the apportionment for the States, to-one member of Congress, but they each came prancing in with two Senators and one Representative, exeunt South Dakota, which came bouncing in with two. Twelve Republican Senators and seven Republican Representatives added to the list of the gang who were plotting for nnWPT Ninatoan T "L 1 r ..uv.v-n Avcuiuuucan votes secured for the next Electoral Col lege to cast their votes for the Re publican candidates for President and Vice President, and help defeat the people. - It there were proof wanted of the partisan scheming by which these territories were admitted it is fur uished in the case of Idaho and Wy oming, to which the doors were opened, and in the case of -New Mex ico and Oregon, upon which the doors were kept closed. The Mor mons in Idaho were chiefly Demo crats. The Mormons in Wyoming Republicans. The Mormons in Ida ho were disfranchised under the Ed munds act, which made the territory Republican. The Mormons in Wyo ming were not . disfranchised. Wyo ming, although with a population of only a little over 60,000, was prompt ly admitted, while Idaho with a pop ulation of 80,000 and something more was kept out until the Demo cratic Mormon vote was suppressed and the territory became Republi can, Then she was admitted with that routine ceremony, which con sisted of some formal speeches and a formal vote. Arizona knocked at the door, but it remained closed. Arizona was Democratic, and had committed the unpardonable offence of electing a Democratic Legisla ture. New Mexico knocked hard at the door but it remained closed as if every body had gone from home. New 'Mexico was Democratic, but New Mexico which wanted to get in and couldn't had as- much popula tion as Wyoming and Idaho com bined, which just tapped at the door, were cordially welcomed and in vited to come in and make them selves at home. The Governor of Arizona in a plea for admission says that if admitted Arizona can be safely counted upon as a Republican State. .If the Re publican Statesmen become satisfied of this the door will be thrown open to her the next time she knocks and New Mexico can remain out soli tary and alone, until she concludes to turn Republican and be admitted. Thus the work of the conspirators was accomplished and States, Sena tors and Representatives manufac tured to hold party ascendency in the Senate and House, to help con trol the Electoral College and per petuate the power of the Republi can party regardless of the popular verdict at the ballot box. Speaker Reed and Secretary Blaine, each of whom will make one or more speeches in the district. Mr. Blaine J-will have to do some very clever bal ancing in urging voters to rally to the support of a man whose tariff bill he spoke of so contemptuously while it was under discussion, a bill in which there was "not a line that would make a market for another bushel of wheat, nor another barrel of pork." The Democrats have also a strong force of speakers in the field, among themi Gov. Hill, of New York, Senator Carlisle, and Geri. Sickles, of New York. But they haven't as much boodle astthe other fellows, and boodle is a big thing in campaigns and elections these days. HE SURPRISED ELIZA. As a reliable authority on the population of this country the census taken this year, under the supervision of Mr. Porter is absolutely worth less. This is pretty generally the view taken of it by non partisans who do not fly to the defence of Porter for partisan reasons. A re enumeration has been made in a number of cities, in not one of which the re-count tallied with that made by the Government census takers. some being largely above and some cousiderably below their figures. A re-count of the city of New York shows an increase of 183,000 over the Porter census, which, if accepted, will entitle New York to an additional member of Congress, which she would not have under the Porter enumeration. When such a discrepancy is found in one city, what may it be in the country at large ? New York is a Democratic city, which may account in part for the skipping of names which was done there, but there is evidence enough from other cities and towns to show that New York is not the only one which has just cause of complaint, and that the Porter cen sus was a most slovenly piece of work, if not a gigantic fraud. STATE TOPICS. MINOR MENTION. As it was given out they would do, the negroes who assembled in convention at Columbia, S. C, last Thursday, endorsed the Haskell ticket. There was some opposition to it, and a good deal of noise, but the resolution endorsing the ticket went through, the chairman hand ling it Tom Reed fashion. This puts South Carolina in the peculiar posi tion of having two tickets in the field, each claiming to be the 'Demo cratic ticket, the one which started out fighting the Democratic organi zation of the State, appealing to the white men of the State to rally -to' it, the other claim ing to be the pure, unadulterated Democracy bidding for and depend ing upon the negro .vote for its suc cess. If it can command the negro vote, which it seems it can, and can poll a pretty full vote, which it like ly will, it stands a very fair chance of election. The result will then be that Judge Haskell and some other gentlemen will be elected, indebted to negro votes for their election and the Democratic organization which has kept the government of South Carolina in the hands of her white people will be irreparably split. In the next election it will be even more difficult to get the Tillmanites to support the movers arid sympathi zers in this straightout movement than it now is to get them to sup port Tillman. Then the Republi cans can nominate their tickets and battle with hope for the mastery of the State. Judge Haskell and his friends have assumed a fearful re sponsibility. South Carolina may pay dearly for their doggedness. The "independent" candidate as a general thing is estimated at his true value in North Carolina, in conse quence of which very few of them ever "get there." The independent is the man who don't stand well en ough with his own party to secure office for which he hankers, has just influence enough to nominate him self with the expectation of getting some votes from some of the people who do know him and enough from the people who don't know him to elect him to something. In six out of eight cases in North Carolina so called Democrats who have played the independent roll have slid into the Republican party, which was the logical and natural winding up place for them. The "independent" is no good. He is the worst kind of a fraud. But He Didn't Do It in the Way that He Had Intended. John Roberts, of North East, is a iarmer weu enough to do, but he had always been eccentric about his clothes, says a Salamanca letter to. the New York Sun. Until a week or so ago he had not been known to - - Duy a new suit ot clothes for a year. The ones he wore had been so often patched and repatched that no bit of me original warp and woot was visi ble. This personal slovenliness on tne part ot her husband was a source of constant annoyance to Mrs. Rob erts, -who is a woman of exceptional neatness. She long ago became so ashamed of his appearance that she would no longer accompany him to town to do her trading. This sine-- ! ular characteristic of the farmer was not owing to penuriousness, for he is a liberal man in his dealings. A few days ago he went to town to do a little trading, and, to the ut ter asionishment of the town, he pur chased a new suit of clothes for him self. His new clothes were done up in a package, and he placed the package on the wagon seat beside him when he started home that night. Farmer Roberts had got half way home when a brilliant idea struck him. He stopped his horse on a bridge where the road crosses the east branch. I'll do it, by gum J" he said. I'll tio it and su prise Eliza! Thereupon the farmer rose up in the wagon and began to take off the patched and repatched clothes he had worn so long. As he removed a garment he tossed it into the creek until he had tossed them all in and had nothing on but a shirt. "Great apple sass !" he exclaimed. "But won't Eliza be su'prised." Then Farmer Roberts reached for the package that had his new clothes in. It wasn't on the seat. Farmer Roberts got down and reached un der the seat. The package wasn't there. Then he felt all over the bottom of the wagon. The package wasn't anywhere on the bottom. Farmer , Roberts rose up in the wagon and looked back along the pitch-dark road. Then he climbed back in his seat and away the horses went for h The night was chilly and there was three miles to go. When Farmer Roberts reached home and climb-d out of his wagon he danced. "The hull idee didn't work," said he, "but I'll bet $9 that I su'prise Eliza !" v That he did no one doubts, but when he got up in the morning and went out to the barn, clad in the hired man's overalls, and saw his package of new clothes haqging by its string on the brake-handle at the side of the wagon he was a little surprised himself.

McKinley's district seems to be pre-eminently the battle ground in Ohio in this campaign, the Republi can managers making extraordinary efforts to re-elect him, and the Dem ocrats to defeat him. As the dis trict now stands it had a Democratic majority of 2,000 in the last guber natorial election, which the Repub licans have to overcome. That's what they are .fighting for, and what they are going to spend a bushel of money to accomplish, if money can accomplish it. They go into the contest well heeled in this re spect, the glass manufacturers of Pittsburg alone having con tributed $100,000. In addition to this they have secured a number of distinguished Republicans to stump the district for him, among them CURRENT COMMENT. Less than 25 Der cent, of the population of this country live in cities of 8,000 and over. Yet the tariff is made for the benefit of a few manufacturers of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois to the detriment of all the balance of the country. That's the political way of robbing a hen roost and forcing the farmer to de liver the poultry free. Savannah Jve7C's, Uem. The registration in Baltimore is a lesson and a warning. Out of 110,000 persons qualified only about 80,000 registered, and still there is malediction in Baltimore because the undesirable element has too much to do in politics. - If the business men interested in honest politics want tnings conducted more satisfactorily they must take the trouble to assert themselves, and the abstainer from registration is estopped from grum bling. Washington Star, Ind. Alabama has the honor nf inventing the present system of signals for indicating the changes of the weather twenty-four to forty eight hours in advance. This sys tem was first introduced in the State in September, 1884, a year or more before it was finally adopted by the chief signal officer for the entire United States. The cold wave flag did not belong to the Alabama sys tem; it was taken from the system in use by the chief signal officer at the time. Mobile Register, Dem. South Carolina has gained in population only 15 per cent, since 1880. In the 10 years preceding the gain, according to census rptumc was 40 per cent. The exodus of uiacKs to tne West might account for a part of this decrease in the rate of growth, but the apparent decrease may itself be unreal. The census of 1870 was badly taken; and may not, and probably did not account for all the people in the State; hence the apparent large growth in the next 10 years. It is evident, however, that we need a census upon which more reliance can be placed than this of 1890. 747. Ledger, Ind. The new United States tariff law has created a great boom in the shipment of potatoes to the West Indies from Hali fax, N. S. Ten thousand barrels have been shipped from King's county to Havana within a few day. They "are shipped at good figures. THE STUDY OF LIFE. Where a Well-Known Novelist Finds His Best Plots. New York Sun. A well-known novelist of this city was yesterday telling how he' finds his plots. "I have found nearly all of them in real life by intercourse with people in all sorts of society. There are no plots to be drawn from the imagination that are equal in in terest to those that can be learnt by knowing the actual experiences of many of our men and womn Here in New York you can hear of plenty of love-lorn damsels and bold swains; you can find heroes and he roines a-plenty; you can hear of marvelous adventures; you can find people whose career has been ro mantic; you can hear of intrigues and their denoument; you can meet characters who would shine on the printed paire: vou can easilv find in the actual experience of your ac quaintances all the material needed for tragical tales or humorous yarns. Why the best plot I ever wrote up was not of my invention, but was in the story of her own life given me by my cook." A MIGHTY SMITER. The Virginia Stranger Comes to the Rescue. A correspondent of the Richmond orate, writing irom Epps Store, Cur rituck County, N. C, tells the fol lowing: Yesterday our little town was inrovvn into contusion by a fight be tween four white men and ten ne groes. But for the timely arrival of a stranger the whites would have fared quite badly. The row grew out of some remarks made by a drunken negro, whom one of the white men struck. In a moment all the negroes rushed on him. Three of his friends went to his rescue, but the odds were against them, when a stranger rode up, on a beautiful black horse, white feet and face, looked around for a moment, sprang from his horse and said: "Von can't down any Christian," drew something from his pocket and rushed in the crowd, and in less than ten seconds he had five negroes laid out as stilt and lifeless as though they were done for good. After quiet was restored Mr. Jones went to him and asked him his name. He said he was from Virginia, and for want of a better name was some times called "Uncle Hannah." He inquired the way to Coinjock Bridge, sprang in the saddle and was off like a flash. Young Sullivan, as we call him, had never been seen in these parts before. He is medium size, wore a brown striped suit,black felt hat. clean shaved, and StnnnprI slightly, but evidently a fighter from way back. An old darkey standing by said he don't know what dat man would ec did had er got mad, .for he licked five an' never stopped smilin' nor tuk his segar out of his mouth. We are willing to admit that the McKinley tariff outrage does protect one American industry. Additions will have to be built to every poor house in he land, and that will keep some people busy, andjt may put up the wages of bricklayers Cleveland Plain Dealer, Dem. -There is one thing that the Re publican Committee have overlooked in getting up these campaign circulars : They should have incorporated a con densed history of the Pension Bureau in them, with a picture of Green R. Raum in the center. There is no telling what a happy effect this would have had. Atlanta Constitution, Dem. The silver Question has o-nt- away with the Republican party. The g. o. p. is to be pitied. If the bill be comes a law. the goldbugs will have no further use for its party, and if the bill is strangled, the great West will have no further use for Republican "protec tion" to the Eastern barons. Trickery and double-dealing are about to reap their reward. Dayton Times, Dem. High protective taxation in creases the profits of capital by giving it a market monopoly, but it is all done at the expense of the people. For the high -prices they pay they receive no equiva lent return in any form or shape. It is all out with them and all into the pocket of capital. In not one solitary item does the real industry receive the smallest benefit. Workmen do not get it, yet the people pav it all the same Afzhun u kee Journal, Ind. . Cotton. 12,102 Domestic.
