Vinini: Is a democratic newspaper
In New Haven called the Register.
It says: "Wo may as well bo frank
and state the situation us It Is. The
chances to-day in Connecticut are
against tho democrat.''." And mi
they vlll continue to lie, growing
more so, till the voles are counted.
Tun number of Chine-e born In
the Hulled Wales anil who are
"natives," will now Increase uniiu-
Ingly, for they can bo admitted to
thoirlorious privileges! of this free
country. Already one of them, a
young woman, has landed In Port
land, and claims to ho a native.
Kiianic JIu nn is limited as ml
mlttlngthat adhopeof tho demo
crats securing tho electoral vote of
New York Is gone. J I mil's Idea is
that some western or northern states
must be captured from tho republi
cans to oll'sot New York, New
Jersey and Counellcul, which are
practically lost already.
It has leaked out that the demo
crats havejust complctcda thorough
canvass of Indiana, by school
districts that Is, have Hindu a re
cord of how every mail in the state
will vote, as near as can 1h ascer
tained and tho result has dismayed
them. They tiro 10.1KX) Milnd, and
getting farther away every day.

ate the charge of the democratic
jukm that the platform favors free

anil ho is ywrnlng to have the

though he shrinks from the con-'ami

latter will brlHtf "Jack, tho Hipper,"
to execution.
IIKI'UIILICAN PKOSPKCTS.
Every indication is In favor of a
weeping republican victory on the
Oth of Novembor. The Interest
centers, of course, on the four states
considered doubtful that is, New
York, New Jcrsy, Connecticut and
Indiana ; but it must bo rcmemberod
that the position of the democrats
and republicans with regard to these
states is very different. The repub
licans can win without New York
and the democrats cannot.
This Is the way the matter stands.
It requires i-'Ol electoral votes to
elect. Of these Cleveland may be
credited with 153, the vote of the
solid South though that Is not
absolutely certain leaving him -IS
to get somewhere cl-c. Now, If ho
etui carry New York, with 3(1 votes,
he will then have ISO, or 12 short
He will then need Indiana, with
her 15 votes, or New Jersey with 9
and Connecticut with (S, which
would give him his 201, with :i to
snare. But unless he can carry New
York, he can have the united vote
of Indiana, New Jersey and Con
necticut without doing him any
good ; for their aggregate vote added
to that of thj solid South makes
only lK!t. whioh is 18 short of what
hcf needs.
Tho republicans, on the other
hand, can count with confidence on
every Northern state except the
four named. This gives tin aggregate
of 181 electoral votes to start wltl
or 120 less than a mttiority ; so If
they can carry Indiana and Con
necticut, or Indiana and New Jer
sey, they can win without New
York, as Indiana and New Jersey
would give them 121 votes, and In
diana and Connecticut 121, where
only 12') aro needed.
Hut the chances are excellent for
carrying New York, in which event
thevotoof Indiana, New Jersey and
Connecticut becomes immaterial, so
far as the general result is concerned.
Every day makes it more and more
certain Hint New York will go re
publican and that Mr. Cleveland
cannot bo re-elected. In fact, the
probabilities are that Harrison will
carry every Northern state, without
exception.
HOW TAKll'l' IIKI.P.H KAKMiniS.
The free tradeis will wi; that the
farmer derives no advantage from
any of thoo duties Imposed on cer
tain articles which ho raises. Yet
It is a fact that, even under the
present turill', largo ((imutilics ol
farm produce me imported from
Canada every year, and the amount
would bo still greater were the duties
abolished. Potatoes, cabbages, oat
meal, butler, etc., aie now imported
from Europe to the seaboard cities,
rediiclnglho demand from our own
farmers, while were tho duly taken
fioih wheat, wo would see the cheap
wheat of India competing with the
western farmers' product in the
eastern states.
The great advantage to the fanner,
however, of the tailll', is that it
builds ui manufacturing establish
ments which employ hundreds of
thousands of woikingmen who are
customers, anil thus createt a homo
market for Its pioducts. On the
other hand, frootiado would destroy
those Industries, anil either force
those employed In them out ot the
country or compel them to go upon
the laud anil become farmers them
selves, thus cheapening farm pro
ducts. The Mills bill cuts out many If not
all of these protected articles. We
believe in high protection If any
thing, for tho protection of farmers
protection so that hay, potatoes,
fUg". onions, cabbage, etc., cannot
be brought to this country. If the
manufacturers have a right to the
home market so have tho fanners,
and we believe that the policy of the
republican party, which Is broadly
in tho Interest of protection, will see
to it the farmer Is protected t borough-
ly and wholly, and the home market
shall ho his and his alone.
It Is demonstrated by tho record
that the Cleveland ttdmlulstrtttiou
has already cost the country ffl5,000,
000 more thau tho expense of tho
govermnout during tho four year'
administration of Uarllold and Ar
thur. This In spllo of tho hypo
critical profession of economy and
reform on the part ot tho demoora
tlo tidmlulstratou, Tho American
jKKiplo persuade themselves that
thoy con get a ttcttor article of
government for lows money, by
electing Harrison and Morton next
November.

W. C. T. U. COLUMN.

Josn. iii.6.
JOSHUA.
1'ltACTICAL Al'l'LICATlbN.
The command to Joshua, "Now,
therefore arise, go over this Jordan,
and all this people, unto the land
which I do give to them; even to
the children of Israel." And then
follows the more specific assurance:
"Every place that tho sole of your
foot shall tieml upon, thttt have I
given unto you, us I said to Moses."
No more can we expect possession
of tho places now made frightful by
the drink habit and trullle, until our
feet shall tread upon them, than
could these Israelites, while they
feared, or hesitated, or loitered by
tho way. God will do His part, we
must do ours. Joshua had shown
his willingness to go forward in the
face of mighty peril, and so God
could trust him w'ith the great c iu
mlssion. Were all Our prayers for
the destruction of the rum power
backed by action, possession might
bo ours. Ho strong and of
u good courage" tho exhortation
of tiie 5th verais Is repeated with
emphasis in tho "th verso. "Out.
be thou strong and very courageous;"
andngaiu, "13e strong and of good
courage; and still again, "lie not
afraid, neither bo thou discouraged;
for the Lord thy God is with thee
whithersoever thou goest."
Tho contagion of weakness anil fear
can never be truly estimated, no
more can the inspiration of courage
and heroic ilrmness. Who has not
seen societies and communities dis
couraged and noble plans defeated
by even a single faint heart.
How much of depression and loss of
energy in our difllcult, aggressive
effort, come from contact with good
people who lack real courage and
strength, and a sturdy confidence in
the eternal principles of right which
must undergird every cheerfully
resolute contestant with evil. Now
anil then come statements, made in
tho very face of facts to the con
trary, that tho temperanco cause is
making little progress; that this and
that worthy endeavor is a failure.
Even If this were true, as happily it
is not, there would be nono the less
the duty ol" effort on our part. As
our lesson plainly teaches, true
courage and Ilrmness come lrom a
sense of God's presence and obedi
ence to His commands. The results
of such obedience wo can safely
leave with Him. h. H. F. K'mball.
The Commercial Gazette having
pub"shed an'aitlclo claiming that
the "nc llcenso" rule in Warren,
Penn., was ruining its business and
depopulating tho town, S. P.
Johnson writes from thole denying
these charges and sustaining hi.s
denial by tho facts, that the list ot
voters Is larger now than ever before
In Warren, that nioio niuii'cipal
Improvements aro being made than
ever before, and more I' st-class
buildings erected; mechanics are un
usually busy; the jail is empty,
churches full, and the community
never more quiet. Ho adds: "The
only trouble Is, that the women of
tho W. C. T. U. have been alter the
salt ons and have squelched them In
this country. God bless the women!"
O.n Duty.
How often does rum cause
tho cheeks of innocent sisters to
tingle with the blush of shame,
pierce the hearts of fond mothers,
and plough deep furrows on the
brows of kind fathers, and yet wo
are called fanatics when we earnest
ly entreat all, esiooially the young,
neither to touch, t-tste, nor handle
the accursed stuff. L.
"A Chicago grocer sold whisky
labeled "llltiliijj" to customers in
the country through agents who
offered as an inducement to order of
the firm, that the liquor was furn
ished tit a very low price. Sovonil
fanners bought and drank the stutr;
one died from the elleets, and others
are dangerously HI."
