constructed a rough fortification, out

soldiers. Among tho ring-leaders of
this emctite were men of many national

Ilulinn, a Canadian) and there woro
several Irishmen, nno of whom, tho
"eommnndcr-imchief," sits now ns

in the disturbances.
AMKItlCAN HIIOl'H Itf "(IOM)" TOWNS.
Oilier Americans tlmn tho sturdy min
ing man saw tho opening which Austra
lia presented ns gold was gathered by
tho handful in her interior, nnd the cool
bended man with soma capital and
knowledge earned more money in com
merce than in toiling with pick nnd
spado In tlio liowcls of a claim. A great
number of American gentlemen started
business establishments in Melbourne,
tind introduced into Victoria a new stylo
of commercial enterprise. For sovcr.il
years a very large eliaro of tho swiftly
swelling commcrco was in tho hands
of tho American bouses which had
established themselves in Melbourne.
Strange to say, thoro is to-day scarce
ly an American in business in nil Vic
toria, cither in tho capital or In tho
"gold" (owns. It Is difficult to ascer
tain with nuy approach to accuracy tho
causes of this curious disapjtcarancc.
I have made many Inquiries, nnd have
received strangely diverse replies. Some
will tell you that tho American mer
chants in Victoria, smart nnd "bright"
as they are acknowledged to have boon,
woro somewhat over-enterprising, and,
when tho colony settled down after tho
gold fever period, found their obligations
too heavy for them and "went away."
Other informants will complacently
enunciate that, clever as the Americans
Were, their coluniul competitors were
yot cleverer, nnd "froze them out."
Tho young Australian is, as h'as been
said, fond of going "homo" through
America, nor, to do htm justice, is ho
insensible to feminine graces and
charms. When ho returnB to his colony,
ho may be fortuuato enough to bring
back with him nn Ainorican bndo who
has left and followed him. It is not ns
if she hud gona out into tho wilderness,
in this desertion of homo. She brings
with her bright social attractions, and
slio is made much of in her colonial
colerio. An American lady has presided
over tho Bocial life of an Australian col
ony as tho wife of its governor; another
American lady has cntortaincd English
royalty in her capacity as Lady Mayoress
of Melbourne.
Tho American troltor is slowly coming
Into favor. Thoro aro trotting races now
on a Melbourne suburban track, nnd
among tho competitors nre some im
ported trotting stallions, chiefly ot tlio
Palo Alto stock. But tho scienco of
trotting Is still in its infancy in Austra
lia, and 2.30 is thought flrst-rnto tlmo
on tho Klslernwick track. Away m tho
back legions, whither railways have
not iHMietrntcd, tho "stages" are
universally of tlio old Ainorican pattern

ed by nn Ainorican firm Cobb & Co.
in whoso hands, or rather In tho hands
of their successor under tho old namo,
nearly nil tho couching traffic of Aus
tralia has boon for tho Inst 30 years and
more. Tho original raco of Yankee
coachmen havo qulto died out, but thoy
have loft behind them their character
istic stylo of eoachmatiBhip and their
shout of "all aboard." That express
ion, novor heurd in England, is also in
uso on tho Australian railroads, on some
of which aro run cars of tlio American
pattern,

Planning to Capture the Senate.
Tho republican majority in tho United
States Bonnlo is tiio only bulwark of de
fenso against n raid on tho treasury and
the o dices by hungry nnd thirsty demo
crats. If it were battered down, Cleve
land, even 11 inclined, could not with
Rtaud tlio horde Hint would surround
him. But his choice of such men as
Manning, Thompson and Smith Weed
for counselors docs mot show a desiro to
keep back tho mob of ofllco-seckera, but
rather a purpoflo to satisfy nnd guido it
for his own ends. IIo probably agrees
with Hendricks that tlio only way to get.
efficient men inofllco is toreplnco every
republican with n democrat, btttin doing
that ho will bo careful to sco that only
Cleveland democrats aro placed on
guard.
So long as tho republicans hold tho
senate tho advance of tho democratic
nrmy of spoils-scekors will be checked.
Hence nil democrats agree that the
thing to bo done now Is to capture tho
senate. Tho success of tho southern
lenders In overcoming adverso majori
ties bus led to tho adoption of their
methods in this new campaign. So we
find thnt in Illinois an effort was made
to secure a senator by falso counting
and ballot-box Bluffing. Secretary
Mackln of tho democratic committee
and two of his assistants havo just been
convicted for their part in those crimes.
To what extent such methods were
practiced by tho democrats in Illinois at
tho last election is still a matter of con
jecture. But thoy havo not yet given
up tho hopo of capturing n senator
there, nnd aro said to bo making largo
promises of patrouago for that purpose.
In Oregon, where another contest for
senator was going on, men ns close to
Clovolnud as Thompson and Vilas were
caught sending cipher dispatches dir
ecting tho democrats to support a cer
tain republican for senator who It was
said would voto on questions of patron
ago with tho democrats. In Indiana
thn democrats are planning lor tho fu
ture by redisricting tho tata for mem
bers ot tlio legislature. They now havo
40 majority on joint ballot, but fearing
tho judgment of tho voters at tho next
election they havo determined nt a cau
cus to reapportion tho state bo as to
make 103 democratic districts, giving 4"
to tlio oposition. This thoy believe
will assure a democratic successor to
Senator Harrison. And while they nre
engaged in this uncalled-for and out
rageous work of gerrymandering the
state thoy have changed the congression
al districts so ns to make ten democratic
nnd two republican. In Virginia tho
olection laws have been changed to place
till power in tho hands of tho bourbon
democrats and thus make certain the
counting-in process In thnt state. In
that way it is hoped to turn out Gen.
Mahoue.
Now that tho democrats havo gono
systematically to work, on the southern
plan, to overturn tho majority in the
sennto, it is not to bo expected that thoy
will stop short of nuy infamy to carry
oul their purpose. If Grover Cleveland
approves what thoy havo already dono,
his administration will bo nn extraor
dinary monument to the senso of the
professional "reformers." N. Y. Trib.
Another Account of Herman's Accident.
Last week wo made a brief notico of
tho accident to Grant Helman of Ash
land, son of Capt. llclman nnd son-in-
law of Gen. E. L. Applognto of that
placo, who undertook to thaw out Bomo
giant powder, with serious results. It
seems that ho was engaged in digging a
well near his rosidonco, and, needing
somo of tho oxploslvo, put uifcw sticks
of it vory close to tho stovo. It wont off
suddenly, throwing him out of tho kitch
en with great forco and tearing oil' n
hand, tho forofingor of which was driven
into tho llesh of bis thigh nearly to tho
bono. His wifo, who wns also in tho
room, escaped with slight injuries, be
ing fortunately alarmed in tlmo.
Alter tho explosion Helmnu started to
go into tlio kitchon to seo If his wife wus
hurt, and first discovered tho loss of his
hand when ho attempted to catch hold
of tho door framo. Ho heard his wife
calling him from tho front of tho house
nnd wont back off tho porch, walked
around tho liousa to tho fenco nnd stood
leaning there a short tlmo, until his
brothore, who woro near by, took hold
of him and led or carried liliii to tho
Iioubo. Tho shock of tho explosion was
heard almost nil over town, nnd a crowd
soon collected.
Tho scone lu tho kitchen was ono of
ruin, Tho stove and a cupboard noar
were completely demolished ; tho win
dows nnd doors were blown out
j tho
siding of tho kitchen walls wus looaenod
every wlioro, and plocos of HobIi from tho
lost hand wore sticking about over tho
walls and celling, while blood was plen
tifully besprinkled everywhere. Hoi
man's arm was nm nutated a short dis
tunco above tho wrist and at last advices
ho was dolpg as woll as could bo expected.
Knocking Out the President.
Tho curtains word down in tho Towner
mnnsion on Friday nnd tho street In
front of tho premised was sprinkled n
foot dcop with tho Hound-deadening saw
dust. Col. Lamont wont about with
ponsivo step nnd slow, holding a hnrld
kcrchicf to his eyes, nnd denied him
self to ovorybody, except messcngors
wholiroughtsupplleH of nrntcn, sooth
ing syrups, camphor, linnmont nnd
court-plnstcr. It looked ns if Cleveland
was a pretty sick man and ho was ; ns
if ho had met with a distressing ncci
dent and he had.
His friends aro inclined to say as little
na possible about tho sad affair, but
Bomo of the salient particulars have
been made public. It seoms that somo
days ago, momentarily losing sight of
tho fact that tho olTico of president be
ing essentially executive the incumbent
ol that office ought to regard himself as
a non-combatant, Cleveland enlisted In
tho silver fight. Placing a chip on his
shoulder, displaying a banner bearing
tho inscription "Intrust tho quostion of
suspending tho coinage and purchase of
silver to mk," he rushed into tlio field
and challenged his opponents to come
on. As ids backers witnessed this fine
display of martial spirit thoy pranced
proudly about, remarking: "Just seo
how bravo Cleveland is. O, it will be a
cold day for tho men who believe con
gress should attend to its own duties
when they fall foul of him. Ono blast
upon Grover's bugle horn will bo worth
a majority of tho congressional votes."
Well, on Thursday, Warrior Cleve
land walked into the democratic huuso
of representatives, his banner flying,
blood in his cyo and the chip promi
nently displayed upon his shoulder. It
was a magnificent Bight, full of the
pomp and circumstance of war. Old
army officers who witnessed it declared
that it was tho most impressive display
of tho sort since
"Tlie Assyrian came down hkc a wolf on the
fold
At length the doughty chieftain came
to a halt, and fixing his eyes on a group
in which wore Bland, Reagan, nnd
other focmen worthy of his steel, ho ex
claimed in tones of thunder: "A cordial
invitation is extended to nny gentleman
who is laboring under tho ludicrous
mistake that he can knock tho chip
from my shoulder to have at me."
Precisely what happened nftcr this
probably never will be known. Cleve
land himself says that no sooner had
ho delivered bis invitation than a chunk
ot old red sandstone struck him in the
abdomen. He behoves than Itcagan
threw it. On tlie other hand, Lamont
swears that he saw Bland jump on the
president-elect with both feet and cram
tho chip that had been referred to down
tlio president-elect's throat. Smith
Weed telegraphed to Tilden: "Grover
was nwfully punished when I left the
sickening Bcene no less than 117 fellow
democrats were sitting on him." ....
Tlio doctors who aro attending him
ho slept with n raw oyster on his right
oyo last night hopo to have him so far
repaired by next Wednesday that ho
will bo able to make a presentable ap
pearance. Dr. Manning, tho physician
in chargo, expresses the opinion that
Ids patient will never bo as handsome
aB ho was before the contest, but that
ho may know more. N. Y. Trib., 4th.
Mechanics' Lien Law.
The mechanics' lien law adopted by
tho legislature is in many of its features
a good measure, but it is not entirely
free from objections. Its morits are
porect protection or mechanics, labor
ers nnd material mon, simplicity of con
struction, which mnke3 it easily under
stood, and its direct and inexpensive
nlun for tho collection of claims. But
on the other hand it will greatly burden
builders, nnd it must to somo extent
limit tlie building operations of men
who will not lMirmit themselves to be
annoyed with tho dotaits of tho work
Tho chief men of tho now law is to give
claimants for labor, material, etc, liens
upon tho owner of tho building or im
provement, and this idea is followed
out in olaborato detail. It puts tlio men
employed upon a work in such relation
with tho owner as to almost relievo con
tractors from obligation. Tlie law de
clares that every man who does labor
upon or iurnishes matorial for any
biiildlnir. structure or improvement of
nny kind shall havo n lien upon tho
samo, whothor furnished nt tho instance
of tho owner or his agent, and every
contractor or person having chargo of
tho work in wholo or in part sliall bo
considered tho agent of tho owner lor
tho purposos of tho act. Tho lion upon
n structure carries with it n lien upon
whatever rights may lio in tho owner to
tho ground upon which tho structure
stands. All lions created by tho new
law upon any structure aro to bo pro
lerrod to all tho prior liens or incum
brances upon tho land upon which such
structure stands, constructed subse
quent tojhe dato upon which the Im
provement was begun. Every Improve
ment constructed upon nny land with
tho knowledge of the owner or a person
having or claiming any interest thorein,
"J
shall bo hold to have been contracted

Cleaning Out the Augean Stable.
The Rochester Union gravely informs
its readers that the democratic party is
about beginning the task of "cleaning
out the Augean stable of republican pro
fligacy and corruption." A great many
other democratic newspapers nre giving
utterance to this particular sort of bald
nonsense. They insist thnt tho party
which has successfully governed tho
country in war and in peace for a quar
ter of a century is to bo regarded ns an
Augean stable. They also insist that
the mission of the Cleveland adminis
tration will be to clean out the stable.
All this is buncombe pure and simple,
and stupid buncombe at that. Those
that indulge in it would do well to glanco
back ten years. The democrats came
into power in congress in 1875, promis
ing that they would "turn on tho lights,"
that they would "clean out the Augean
stable of profligacy nnd corruption."
What came of such promises? Why,
several investigating committees were
appointed with the express purpose of
making things lively or tho republicans.
These committees went nosing about
the departments, earnestly endeavoring
to como upon an Augean stable. Thcy
wero clothed with all necessary powers.
They could send tor persons nnd papers,
examine witnesses and lay bare records
to their hearts' content.- Nevertheless
they had their labor or their pains.
They were compelled to report, in effect,
that there was no Augean stablo ; that
they had turned on tho lights only to
discover tiiat republican administration
could not bo successfully attacked. The
country has not yet forgotten this chap
ter of political history. It remembers
it and laughs contemptuously when it
hears democratic newspapers onco more
calling tho republican party an Augean
stable nnd bragging that "our party" is
going to clean it out.
Let tiio Union and its fellow-organs
clear their minds of cant. Whatever its
sins of omission or commission, tlio fact
remains that on the whole tho republi
can party has been n good faithful ser
vant of the people. History will bear wit
ness that it was the right arm of the na
tion during tho great struggle for the
preservation of Hie union from tho das
tardly assaults of democratic traitors,
north nnd south. And history will also
bear witness that it was equally success
ful in conserving tho prosperity of tho na
tion which it has rescued from dismem
berment and dishonor. Tho republican
party glories in its record. How abont
democracy's record? Does nny demo
crat tako any pleasure in contemplating
tlie course ot ins party since lbou.
l)ved-in-the-wool democrats will nov
or forgivo tho republican party its patri
otic record in nil that it recalls of demo
cratic disloyalty and shame. Thoy
merely succeed in directing attention to
that tact when thoy namo their oppo
nent "an Augean stable." N. Y. Trib.
