T«us attempt of the New England branch of th» Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Com­ pany to get the right of way for its poles on the railro d land already occcupied by the Western Union Company is resisted by the latt«r n the ground of its contracts with the »ai!roads, which give it the right ex­ clusively to place poles by the side of their tracks. But in Texas, where the same question has been contested by the same ,^companies, the courts have permitted the Baltimore and Ohio to put its poles on the »ands of the Texas Pacific, which, with the telegraph line already in operation, is con­ trolled by Mr. Gould. In consequence of this decision the Baltimore and Ohio is .pressing forward the work of construction < to a connection with all the important points.

Mr. Blaine's tonr through Indiana waa one crand ovation from the honr of entering to the moment of leaving the State. South Bend waa the first place of any note visited by the great Republican leader, and his advent was heralded by the booming of cannon and the enthusiastic shouts of thousands of honest voters. Mr. Blaine's speech was devoted exclusively to the tariff, and it undoubtedly had a goOd effect, as South Bend is one of the most Important man­ ufacturing cities in the State. From South Bend the great statesman jour­ neyed by easy stajscs to Fort Wayne. He made brief stops at Klkhart. Goshen, Auburn, and other points, where he add: eased verv large and enthusiastic audiences. It Is estimated that 50,000 strangers were gathered at * ort Wayne, and Mr. Blaine's reception was a wildly enthu­ siastic one. He addressed an Immense throng, in which he pointed out the danger of turning over the Government to Bourbon rule. On bis journey from Fort Wavne to the capi­ tal of Indiana, it is computed that Mr. Blaine addreaaea audienc s acureirHting -200,000 people. No such scenes of enthusiasm were ever wit­ nessed in the Hoosier State before. At Logans- port there were 25,000 people, and the gatherings at Kokomo, Peru, Huntington, Andrews, Tipton, and Wabash averaged 10,000. A feature of the meetings was the presence of marching clubs composed of women, in his speeches along the route Mr. Blaine dealt principally with the tariff question and the danger of Southern supremacy. The reception at Indianapolis equaled in numbers ana ex­ celled in enthusiasm any yet accorded to Mr. Blaine. The streets were thronged with cheer­ ing multitudes, welcome was waved from every window, and nearly every residence and business establishment was gayly decorated. At Military Park Mr. Bfe ne was listened to and wildly cheered by an audience of 25,(00 people. He spoke as follows: "Friends and fellow-citizens. I feel that such a magnificent xeception as that which I have had to-day in the capital of Indiana is so com­ plete in itself that a speech cannot add to its eftect, and that I should content myself with offering >uu, as 1 do, my profound and heart­ felt thanks. ['Go on,' and cheers.] In no (State of the Union, in no city of the Union, could fuch a reception and such a welcome be more significant in itself or more grateful to me personally. [Great cheering.J We stand on the eve of an important national election-- an election in whose decision Indiana will have a potential voice. I'We'll settle it!'J She is looked to by our opponents, as she has been in former years as an ally of the 'Solid South' against h r sifter States of the North. ['Never!'J Since the election in West Virginia the Democratic party count upon a solid vote in the South, and I may tie permit­ ted to express the opinion lhat no more unpatri­ otic thing can be done than lor Northern men to urge a continued solidification based upon the memories of the rebellion. [Great cheering.J it has been the aim and the desire of the Re­ publican party to develop the material interest of the South, and to make her peonle forget, and the nation forget, that we have been foes, remembering only that we are citizen* of a common Union under a common Con titntion, looking to a common destiny. [Cheers. J But our opponents meet us in an entirely different spirit, and with an entirely different course of action. Instead of the mem­ ories of the U nion, they invoke the prejudices of the rebellion in their aid, and they ask that New York and Indiana shall join the unholy alliance and turn the National Government over to the South. 1'Never!' '.severl'l 1 do not be- believe it can Imj done. I'No!' 'No!' "Never!'J I do not believe Indiana will do that under its present leadership any more than it would have done the same thing under the leadership of Oliver P. Morton, the badge of whose memorial club I am proud to wear Iplacaig his hand on his breast -- enthusiastic chteiing. ] To say nothing of its significance in other aa- pects, the triumph of the Northern ele­ ment in the Democratic party clcariy means the triumph of fiea trade. It means the break­ ing down of the great industrial system which has enriched the United States so marvelously i.. the last twenty-three years, and which has enrielietffrpar own State in equal degree with other WtflMF Indiana has grown into'H superb Commonwealth, great in her population, great in her wealth. Not even known beyond iier borders as a manufacturing State when the Re­ publican party came into power in 1801, she now turns out iu a single year $16v>,00l>,0u0 worth of manufactured pioducts. The development, therefore, of your manufacturing resources, dependent, as it is, upon a protective tariff, is of the highest interest to eveiy citi­ zen of the United States. A community that combines agriculture and manufactures has the necessary conditions for attaining an Ideal pros­ perity. I can remember myself--and I am not an old man --the time when in my native State of l-'ennsvlvania Gov. Rltner was laughed at for saying that the day would come when Pennsyl­ vania would not be able to supply breadstuffs and provisions to the miners in her mountains and the factories In her towns, yet that day came long ago, and Pennsylvania, the first wheM Stat j in the Union as late as l«5i), depends to­ day for a large share of her breadstutfs upon the granaries of the West. [('he-rs.J SVhen Indiana shall have developed manufacturing enterprise to such a degree as to be able to consume her own agricultural products she will have attained an ideal prosperity, and she can do that only by means of a protective tariff. [Renewed cheer­ ing.J "The issue is in your hands. You are free men. You have a free ballot, but in the South we have a million of friends who have not a free ballot. The South to-day has thirty-seven electoral votes based upon the vote of the colored men, Jet the colored men of the South, though a mil-ion in number, cannot choose a, single Presi­ dential elector. |'That's so I'J As a result of that, the political power of a white man in the South is enormously increased beyond that of a white man iu Indiana or in Maine. For the time being we will not argue at all the question of negro sutlrage, but I submit, as a fair proposition to every man in the land, that if the South is to have thirty-seven Presidential electors by reason of the negro vote, then the negro himself ought to be allowed to cast his ballot. I'That's it!'and cheers. J The issue is in your hands. Indiana, as I said when I began, will have a potential voice in the decision, and, from the popular demonstrations I have wit­ nessed since I crossed the border of your State, I feel, I know--indeed, I am sure--that, upon the ground of patriotism and upon the ground ot enlightened self-interest, Indiana may be re­ lied upon to maintain a protective tariff and to sustain, as the assurance thereto, the Repub­ lican party." [Great and prolongued cheering.] After dinner a deputation of German-Ameri­ can citizens called upon Mr. Blaine and present­ ed the following address: The Hon. James G. Blaine: The German-American Republican organisa­ tion. of Indianapolis have delegated the under­ signed to express to you their confidence and esteem. The identity of your public life with the rise and progress of our country and our party, the eminent services you have rendered to hoth, are matters of history, and make our duty pleasant as it is honorable. Your election to the Presidency will honor our country and our party. Inspired by the love of liberty and free government, we left the land oi our fathers to find a new home in this republic, and, looking toward the welfare of this nation, we have no other Interest than American cltl/ens. Looking over the pages of history we find the Republican party to have been the party of liberty and progress, and we trust it to be the same in the future. Upon these pagns we find your name and that of the gallant Gen. Logan inscribed in golden let­ ters, and we feel that, as heretofore, so you will in the future do honor to the country. Please accept this document as a token of our apprecia­ tion and indorsement of your life, character, and public services. We welcome you to the capital of our great State." . Mr. lilainc replied as follows: "Gentleman, I am eratefnl for your call. I am grateful for your friendly spirit. 1 am grats- ful for your expressions of good-will. The as­ surance of German sympathy and German sup- Iwrt in Indiana is a repetition of what 1 received n Ohio. My birth and my rearing were in a State that made me familiar from childhood with the German character--with its steadi­ ness. its industry, its fidelity. Its integrity. Its truth in friendship, loyalty to govern­ ment. Pennsylvania owes much to her German population--to the Mulhenburgs, the Hiesters, the Woltls, the Snyders, the Shnnxs--who have Illustrated her annals, and witli whom I am not unconnected '.iy ties of friendship, of inherited association, in some cases of kindred blood. When I reached Ohio I sought confer­ ence with German fri nds, and was assured- - and subsequent events have confirmed the as­ surance -that, FO far from beinar hostile to me personally, my German fallow-citizens were as 1 had a right to expect, and as you so eloquently declare, frienrlly and partial to me. Thanking you ag 'in, gentlemen, for the cordial expres­ sions of your address, I am proud to take you by the hand in token of mutual friendship and esteem." Later a large deputation of clergymen, about thirty in number, called upon Mr. Blaine and presented an address, as follows: "The Hon. .I nines G. Hi,-line: "DEAHSIR: As Christian ministers we extend to you, irrespective of party considerations, a cordial wt icome to our city, and wj bid you a hearty godspeed. It seems fitting, now that you arc in the city from wnlch for none other than nartisan reasons poisoned arrows have been shot at you, that we Hhould at least refer to that fact; but let us assure you that the Chris ian people of this vicinity have no sym­ pathy with any such modes of warfare. We, therefore, bring to you this word of gcod cheer: fad, further, we beg leave to say that we recog­ nize in yon a fellow-citizen justly honored, an experten<ed statesman, a patriotic leader, a steadfast tr.cnd of both the laborer and the op­ pressed; in short, a typical American, end, as we trust, the coming President of the United 8tates." To this Mr. Blaine replied: "I return von mv sincere thanks, gentlemen, for your trif-ndlv cad. I know the influences you wield deservedly In the community la which your lives illustrate the teachings you enforce. Although wo do not have in this country a union of church and state, I yet recognize the urreat influence which the Christian mill strv fjiirlv and proptrlv exercises in form­ ing a just public oj in on, 1 n l I cannot in terms too warm express the irratitu I > 1 feel for youf cord al assurance of este'm 1 n I support." From Indiana] oils to the Onio River the Fame scenes were repeat d that were witnessed from the northern border to the capital city ot the Hoosier State. At every city and town Immense thron.s of people welcomed and cheered the great 'Republican leader. At Kvansville, Vin- cenncs, i-nd Terre i ante the crowds were enor­ mous and the enthusiasm 1 henomenal. At fivansville Mr. Blaine addressed an audience of 2.rVM»(t. After impressing upon his h arers the duty of Indiana to vote to maintain the protec­ tion policy which had done so much for the country, he said: "A verv respectable member of the Society of Friends spoke to me in Indianapolis yester­ day in warm commendation of the proposition for a peace congress of • merican nations as originally designed under th s administration of President Gai field. Such a movement as that I cons.der myself to be the basis of a sound and wise foreign policy. We seek no interven­ tion in the struggles and contentions of Eu­ ropean Governments, but we do seek the ex­ pansion of trade with our American neigh­ bors, and as the prerequisit thereto we seek friendly and peaceful relations with all the countries of North and South America. IChccts.J We seek more than that; we desire not only to be peaceful and friendly with these nations, but ire desire that they shall be peace­ ful and friendly with each other. I confess that I can imagine no more impressive spectacle than would be presented by all the na­ tions of the New World meeting in the capital of the great republic, and solemnly agreeing that as between themselves war shall cease, and that every difficulty that may arise shall be submitted to impartial arbi­ tration for Just and friendly settlement. [Cheers.] Almost every republic of North and South America has indicated its desire to meet in such a ci ngress in the city of Washington, and every Instinct of justice, every consider­ ation of philanthropy, every teaching of Christi­ anity suggests that such a congress should be held. Though tt would embrace in its member­ ship only the nations of America, it could not fail if successful in its grand design to affect favor­ ably the opinions of the #orld. I confess I should wish no prouder distinction for the United States of America than to initiate a movement that might in the wide sweep of its beneficent influence incorporate the principles of f iendly arbitration as a permanent part of the international code of the world. Without intermeddling in the aflairs of other nations, we can exert upon them the influence of a lofty ex­ ample and cemmend to them a policy based on the eternal principles of justice." [Prolonged cheering.J THE FARMERS. Tliey Have Nothing in Sympathy with Cleveland and Refuse to Support Him. The Albany Evening Journal reviews the record of Gov. Cleveland's actsv in re­ lation to the farmers, and gays: " The farmers owe nothing to Gov. Cleve­ land or to the party which he represents, and it is not at all surprising that they and their representative organizations refuse to render him support. He has never honored them by official recognition, and he has offended them needlesly at every opportunity. He has not acted as the conservator of their interests as the great taxpaving majority of the State, but has countenance'd in various instances legislative action that has needlessly taken thousands from taxpayers. If the farmers owe their thanks to any one for the prohi­ bition of manufacture of oleomargarine and for the rise in the price of butter, the obligation certainly is not to Gov. Cleve­ land, but to the Republican Legislature. As a means of legislation he deserves none, for the Governor is not a lawmaker. But the truth is, that Gov. Cleveland has not been friendly to the farmers. When the test case against O. H. McGann of Brook­ lyn for selling oleomargarine was brought before the Supreme Court on appeal after McGann had been found guilty the Distiict Attorney of Kings County asked that the case be postponed, and astonished the court by saying that Gov. Cleveland had requested the postponement. Judge Troy declared such interference on the part of the Governor to be most extraordinary and uncalled for, and added that, as no appeal had been made for executive clemency, he did not understand why the Governor should interfere with the administration of justice. Thus we find Gov. Cleveland interfering to postpone the prosecution of an alleged vender of bogus butter." Vetoes for items for $1,000 for the State Dairymen's Association, for $10,000 to test tho salt supply--a matter of great interest to the farmers--and for $10,000 to prevent the sale of adulterated goods and drugs, are further proofs of his hostility to the farmers. The Candidates Contrasted. Mr. BiiAiNe has what may be called the American instinct--Geo. Wm. Curtis, in Harper's Weekly, Nov. 5, 1881. "I HAVE no personal grievance with Gov. Cleveland. I shall speak from the record, and I will ask to be ostracized from all de­ cent society if I cannot point to corruption stalking straight to the door of the execu­ tive mansion and knocking at the door and coming out of the door, with all that corruption sought at the expense of the people. If I can not prove that bribes known to fail in the Assembly in 1883 were placed so near Mr. Cleveland that if he does not have the money he can get it at any time--if I cannot prove that I am not what I profess to be."--State Senator (1 rady before the Tammany Committee, Sept. 8,1884. "Is there any good reason why Hendricks should be selected from forty-five millions of people to be the possible head of a Government which he did his best to de> stroy?"--Geo. WL Curtis in 1876. IT is not generally known that during the next Presidential term four Justices of the Supreme Court will pass the statutory age of seventy years, which entitles them to retirement, with salary. Their names are: Chief Justice White, born 29th of No­ vember, 1810, Mr. Justice Miller, born 6th of April, 1816. Mr. Justice Field, born 4th of November, 1816. Mr. Justice Bradley, born 14th of March, 1815. It is probable that the next President will appoint the successors of all of these Judges. A tremendous responsibility will therefore rest in the bonds of either Grover Cleveland or James G. Blaine. Is it safe to put the Supreme Court of the United States in the hands of a Democratic Presi­ dent? Do we want Calhounism--State sov­ ereignty--enthroned in that tribunal?--Buf­ falo Express. THE farmers of New York know Mr. Cleveland as thoroughly, perhaps, as atay- body outside of the Buffalo preachers. The State Farmers' Alliance of that State has issued "a communication to the farmers of the State of New York," in which they say: "It becomes our painful duty to de­ nounce Mr. Cleveland's candidacy as un­ worthy the support of the farmers and of the great body <jf independent voters who elected him two years ago." With the farmers aud dairymen against him and Tammany alienated, his chances of carry­ ing his own State are not good. IN Mr. Blaine's Rochester speech he made this bold declaration of Republican principles: "First, peace with the whole world; second, commercial expansion in every practical direction; third, encourage­ ment of every form of American industry; fourth, protection to every citizen, native or naturalized, at home or abroad." This has been the keynote of the campaign, while Gov. Cleveland has maintained abso­ lute silence, even when charged with being a visionary free-trader.--Exchange. Blaine is the exemplification of the Re­ publican idea of liberty, equality, fraterni­ ty. He owes his marvelous popularity to his intimate kinship with the masses. OF all America's great race, Blaine stood first in the heart of the martyred Garfield.

About Two Hundred Buildings Octroyed by a Conflagration at Carthage, N. Y. [Utica (N. Y.) dispatch.] The most destructive fire that has ever visited Northern New York broke ont in Carthage at 11 o'clock this morning, and hprned all the afternoon. The fire began from ashes thrown from Russell's tannery, which set fire to Eaton's planing- mills. The flames spread rapidly to Boss' furni­ ture manufactory and Farr's tub factory, and then crossed the river to East Carthage, catching on Guiot's planing-mill, de­ stroying the factories and buildings on Ry- ther & Pringle's Island. The flames then spread to all the houses in Spring street, Mechanic street, Church street, the new Opera House, Peck's Hotel, Disciples' Church, and the Academy. In Main street the Episcopal and Presbyterian Churches were burned, as were many residences. Upper James street, Clinton street, and the east side of Maiii street are all in ruins. The flames spread so rapidly the firemen could not keep np with them. It is esti­ mated 200 houses were destroyed, and that the loss will reach $1,000,000. There are not sufficient dwellings left in the town to shelter the inhabitants. Carthage was ex­ tensively engaged in manufacturing, and all its industries are in ruins. Four Children Fatally Burned. [Montreal special.} In Lebonne, in this province, Stanislas Chevlair, a farmer, and his wife went to church and left four children, the oldest but 11 years old, beliind. One of the chil­ dren found a canister of gunpowder, and began throwing some in the grate, when the canister exploded, setting all the children's clothing on fire. The neighbors, hearing the explosion, rushed to the house, to dis­ cover it in flames, and three of the children so badly burned that they died shortly after. The fourth is not expected to re­ cover.

NOT one out of a thousand lightning rods at present upon our buildings is of any use says Professor Trowbridge in Science, for the simple reason that the rods are not led into moist ground and therefore offer great resistance to the passage of an electric discharge. MR. MAXWELL HALL, of the Royal Astronomical Society gives the follow- I ing remarkable sequence of color in I the plannets from the earth outward*. Mars, reddish; Jupiter, a delicate orange; Saturn, greenish-yellow; Ura­ nus, light green, and Neptune, slightly blue. THE microscope reveals that ther» are more than 4,000 muscles in the- caterpiller and that the eye of a drone contains 1,000 mirrors. There are spiders as small as a grain of sand, and they spin a thread so fine that it would require 400 of them to equal the size of a single hair. ACCORDING* to Professor Young the- central portion of the sun is probably for the most part a mass of heated gasses, the photsophere is a shell of luminous clouds, the chromosphere in composed mainly of incondensible gasses, and what constitutes the corona is entirely unknown. THE mellowness of old wine, it is found by experiments in Oermarfy, is due to an increase in the proportion of glycerine contained in it more than to a decrease in the proportion of tannin which it holds. The Orthodox Church- man says returning missionaries de­ clare that unfermented wine was never known in Syria. AN aeronaut says in his voyage across the English Channel the land lay be­ hind like a map, and the bottom of the sea could be clearly seen. It may be assumed that by instantaneous photo­ graphy the time w ill come when charts of the sea may be made with perfect exactness, thus greatly diminishing the dangers of navigation. AN increase of the proportions of oxygen in air may be effected, accord­ ing to German authority, by aspirating a current of air through several layers of taffeta which have been plunged in alcohol or carbon bisulphide and then coated with a thin layer of caontchoue. The passage of air through four such layers is said to reduce its proportion of nitrogen very considerably. The Popular Science News says that the agreeable beverage known as cham­ pagne is, according to a French receipt, made as follows: Take sixty gallons of water; add forty pounds of ginger cut in small pieces, and gently boil for half an hour, carefully removing any froth that may arise. Cool the liquor as quickly as possible, and when at a blood-heat (100 degress F.) add nine pounds of raisins chopped fine and the juice of six dozen oranges and six dozen lemons. Allow the liquid to ferment, and after standing a month it may be bottled ill the usual manner. If desired, the ginger may be omitted and the number of oranges increased to eighteen dozen. The Napoleonic Parrot. When Louis XVIII., after the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo, again sought Paris, he followed in the wake of the Anglo-German Army. His closed car­ riage was screened from observation by a novel escort of baggage wagonB. Since the people had declared that they would not have this fat. gouty, childish old Bourbon reign over them, it was necessary to bring him back secretly, lest he should be assassinated, or die through apprehension of murder. Thus journeying, the King of France, by the grace of the Allies, stopped one night at the Chateau of Ecouen, where, under Napoleon, the daughters of offi­ cers of the Legiou of Honor were edu­ cated. The young ladies had been sent to their homes. The matron had also left, and thinking she would be absent but a few days, had locked np her par­ rot, with a supply of food, in a large closet Louis occupied the room vacated by . the matron, and in a few minutes was sound asleep. His attendants had left him to prepare the night-meal, which he always ate, whenever he awoke. Suddenly he was aroused by some one whispering close to his ear those hated words, " Vive I'empereur/" (Live the Emperor). Startled he would have risen, but his size and his gout prevent­ ed. Again he hears, " Vive I'empereur!" and then a chuckle. The king trembled with rage at the audacity of the mock­ ing Napoleonist. •' Vive I'empereur/" screams the un­ known, and then ends with an insult­ ing, "Ha! ha! ha!" The king found a bell-rope at the head of the bed, and pulled it lustily. The attendants rushed in, and were- saluted with, " Vive Vempereur! ha I ha! ha!" They looked under the bed, and be­ hind the furniture --there was nothing there. A curtain pulled aside disclos­ ed a locked door. Blows opened it, aud swinging in a cage was seen an ex­ cited parrot, gleefully repeating " Vive I'empereur!" In a second, his neck was savagely twisted, and thus the first victim of the second restoration of the Bourbons was a poor parrot--Youth's Companion, A Brilliant Excuse. "How Is it you always like to sit *in> the dark, when you call on my daugh­ ter?" inquired Miss Fussanfeather's father of young Crimsonbeak one day when they met on the cars. "Why. we don't sit in the dark?4 the- young man said, equal to the emergen- cy. "You didn't have the gas lighted iat | the parlor last night!" | "No, sir." | '•Nor the night before!" ' "No, sir." "Nor any night that you hare called in the past month!" "No, sir." "Well, sir, where do you get your ! light from, if you don't call that being in the dark?" "Why, my dear sir," said the young man, patronizingly; we weren't in the dark; your daughter is so brilliant, don't you know." Crimsonbeak is never disturbed when i he stays late now.-^-Yonkers States- - man.
