The Democratic painjrs are loud in their denunciation of protwtion a* the alleged onuso of the woolen mill failures in Providence, R. I. The tariff on "raw material," they claim, is responsible for the disaster, although the mills hi tinw past, and with the same rate of duty a* now exists, have made good profits. All the same, these papers call for free trade in wool, and thus aim a deadly blow at the great American agricultural industry. And yet they have nothing to say about recent cotton mill failures. There is no duty on cotton, though there is oil cot­ ton cloths, so the cotton mills have the freest of .free raw material? while their own product is amply protected. - Yet they fail. It's a poor rule that doesn't work both ways, isn't it, Messrs. Free Trader? But somehow thati# tlie point of your logic. .5:- GRAND f®*"The following is the reply of John A. Logan, Jr., to a request by John B. Mo.sby, Mayor of Cincinnati, for a picture Of the late Senator Logan, for the parlor of the Halsted Club, of Cincinnati: -. I)KAK SU;: While appreciating the sen­ timent which prompted you in ni;iking your request, I feel sure father, if alive, would not want his picture hung on the walls of a Republican organization named alter-a'man who vilified him when alive, and Who tried in every way to be­ smirch his spotless name, and who has done nil in his power to* slander and at­ tack the charaetfr of every Republican who has risen to prominence in tiiis country. Mrirat Halsted deserves to be ignored by every Republican, and to be allowed to consume himself with his own spite. I trust to God he may receive his just reward before leaving this world. Trusting you thoroughly understand why I cannot comply with your request, I remain, yours, JOHN A. LOGAN, JR. KstT" Postmaster-General Wanamaker and .the officers of the Western Union mw Telegraph company are considering a ^ plan to bring the post office department * and the telegraph campany into closer relations. It is proposed to further reduce telegraph rates in consideration jf^V of the government's offer to collect and deliver dispatches. It is understood that their plan wi^ be laid before con- % gress, and if it is adopted will be the first step toward the creatiofi of a postal " telegraph. By it the way will be opened for the government's absorption of the telegraph, a proceeding that of late years has not seemed probable. Jay Gould has been ready to sell, but there were many difficulties in the way of the government becoming a purchaser. As soon as business relations of a close character are established, a way- out of recent difficulties may be found. |®"€alifoniia has redeemed herself. The charge of murder against Justice Field has been dismissed by the Stockton court. There was not the slightest basis for the surest of Judge Field. He was simply a spectator of the shooting of Judge Terry, and any other witness might have been arrested with equal jus­ tice. The fact that the shooting was done in his defense makes no difference unless he was party to a conspiracy to kill Terry, and of this there is, of course, not the smallest probability. The dis­ trict attorney who issued the warrant for the arrest of a United States Supreme Court Judge* upon such foundation--or lack of foundation--and at the instiga­ tion of a notorious tigress like Mrs. Terry, was an ass or the warrant would never have been issued at all. The Cali­ fornia courts have done what they could to right the wrong by disclaiming the action. IQrOur regular Washington corres­ pondent, under date of the 7th inst., says: "Secretary Noble is understood to be engaged in considering the report of the Commission which recently investi­ gated the Pension Office, and many rumors are flying around as to what his action will be. Democrats insist that the Secretary will ask for Commissioner Tanner's resignation, and so persistent e they that many Republicans have been convinced that Tanner will go. I have spent iunjeli tinie in investigating this rumor, aiu^Bive po hesitation in saying that is not the slightest foundation for it. Ever since the first day that Mr. Tanner took charge of the pension office, there has been a sys­ tematic and persistent fight made against him by the Democratic and Mugwump press, and for no known reason in the world except his well-known friendship and sympathy for the ex- Union soldier, and I am perfectly satis­ fied that the President will never allow himself to be influenced by such opposi­ tion. Unless something more than is uow known shall transpire, Commission­ er Tanner will remain in charge of the Pension Office during the present admin­ istration."

ON SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 14, AND We have received a large in­ voice of Fall Goods and arc pre­ pared to show at prices lower than* ever,^ I®" The Ohio Democratic convention, after attending a prize fight and nomi­ nating a state ticket, has adjourned. The prize fight began at 2 A. M., and a gentleman with the semi-scriptual name of Bezenah was the winner in the sev­ enty-fifth round. The political fight came a little later, and resulted in a victory for one Campbell, who received the nomi­ nation for governor onthe second ballot. The platform denounced the Republican party and Governor Foraker, as usual, and wept crocodile tears over the cor­ ruption of the civil service by President Harrison. It also reaffirms the undying devotion of Ohio Democracy to the free- trade principles on which the campaign of 1888 was gloriously fought and in- gloriously lost. Nothing will suit the Republican party better. The steed "Free-Trade" is a bad one for bucking. It has thrown the Democracy once. But try again, gentlemen by all means. The Republican party will be only too glad to hold the stirrup for you. Up you go now!--and down you come later. i'i.1' I®" The Urbana Herald has some .strong and wise words to say to Repub­ licans about drifting off into the third party foolishness. The words are also truth. After a review of the prohibition platform, showing that the third party is unalterably opposed to regulation of the liquor traffic, except by state or na­ tion, and hence opposed to local option that they favor the abolition of all license, and demand the repeal of the in ternal revenue tax, and in this state, declared for a tariff for revenue, and after further showing that 3,000 prohi bitionists in this state voted for John M Palmer instead of Harts, their own can didate, the Herald goes on to say [Quotes from the Herald and adds.] There is reason to believe that the pro hibitionists have not relinquished their old role of allies of the democratic party The presence of St. John, the hired hand of the Democracy, in the prohibition #tate of Iowa, where he can do nothing bnt stir up strife in the Republican ranks, is proof of this. Whether wisely or un­ wisely, the Iowa Republicans are respon­ sible for prohibition in that state, but the law has worked poorly, and some Republicans would now favor its repeal. In this the Democrats see some hope of success. Hence St. John. It is a wonder, alter the strong vagaries of the political prohibitionists, after their rabid denun­ ciation of Republicans, after proof upon proof has been given that they are work­ ing wholly to destroy the Republican party, that any Republican can be found la the state willing to assent.--Peoria IST" During the last political campaign our free trade friends strenuously ob­ jected to the comparisons which protec­ tionists made between wages in England and America. Nathanial McKay was ridiculed by them for giving the results of personal observations among British working people, and warning American laborers against the consequences of voting against protection. It was cam­ paign buncombe, they said, equally ig­ norant and misleading, and those who used such arguments were trading upon the credulity of American workinginen. Well, what do these cavilling critics think of the story of the London strike as told in the general press dispatches? Is there any campaign buncombe in the plain statement of fact that 150,000 men are out on strike because longshore­ men- are paid considerably less than sixpence an hour? That low rate was one of Mr. McKay's revelatious which was rejected as false and partisan. He has seen thousands of these starving dock laborers hanging on to the iron gates of the London docks at half-past six in the morning and clamor­ ing--fairly fighting among themselves-- for the privilege of employment at four- pence or five-pence an hour. He related what he had seen, but the free-traders re­ jected his testimony. Well, it is all true. The strike is for sixpence, when fivepence or less is now paid. Freights have gone up all over the world, but those wretched London longshoremen are not allowed to profit in any way by an advance that has helped dock-owners and shippers. They are struggling to get an extra penny an hour in free trade England New York Till nine. 3. M. Owen & Son Have got the largest and best stock of John Macdonald, one of the crew of the I'nited States steamer Xipsi which went down in the storm at Samoa arrived at his home in Lawrence, Mass. last June. Towards the latter part of July, while he was with a coterie of friends, the conversation turned on 1 he cost of traveling. The result was that he made a noval wager with Thomas Ken nedy. Both were to go to Europe and return, neither to pay a cent of fare from the time he left Lawrence until he got back. The man returning first was to win. July 22, Kennedy started for Boston. Two days later Macdonald stole a ride on a freight train to that eity. There, after a while, he stowed himself away on a cattle boat bound for Loudon. When two days out he showed himself on deck. The captain was iriad but allowed him to work his passage to Deptford, where he was put off. From here he stole a ride on a tram car to London. Here, two <Jays after, while strolling around in the White Chapel district, he ran into Kennedy. Soon after, Macdonald stowed himself away on the Milanese, of the Furness line, and Kennedy did the same on another boat of that line. Appearing" on deck in two days, Macdonald was again allowed to work his passage, and reached Boston last Thursday. He stole a ride to Law­ rence on a freight train, and has arrived there after a journey of nearly 6,000 miles, which has not cost him a cent Kennedy has not yet showed up Macdonald is actually ahead the amount of the wager, m the freeolt of bis trip, John Evansoa & Co.
