IV "Adlai"--is not smooth as a name, it requires a peculiar twist of the tongue, and then we always feel like changing it. A much smoother accent and delivery is secured by writing it Ad a li (add a lie) In which shape it is very suggestive, for he'll do it in every free trade speech he makes before he sails for Salt river. |V An exchange truthfully says: Them should !>e iu evei\y city and village vigorous committees on naturalization. Many excellent men have been careless in the procurement of final papers, who would take the kindly suggestions of a neighbor and qualify if requested. Every facility should be given to get these in line for the ballot box this fall. Ohamria* tha Issues. It is Said by good authority that in his letter of acceptance Mr. Cleveland will abandon the plank of the Chicago plat* form, which was, by vote of the conven­ tion, both negatively and postively en­ forced as the real issue of the campaign, the free trade plank, and make one of his own. Certainly it was his action that committed his party to free trade, and the plank in that platform was placed there because it was the only one on which he could consistently stand, but he finds the public sentiment all against him, and he is desirous of changing the issue. The New York San is delighted, and presents its patent force bill issue as a substitute, and for want of anything else, Mr. Cleveland is likely to adopt it. In his forthcoming letter, it is reported, he will deny that he means free trade at all, and not a "tariff for revenue only," but a "tariff for revenue with incidental protection." That will make Watter- son explode with rage. But what differ­ ence does it make whether or not the platform declared fpr free trade or Mr. Cleveland declares for incidental protec­ tion? The record of his acts and words and the record of the acts and words of two democratic congresses show the real purpose and intent of Mr. Cleveland and his party. The Mills bill, opening a war to the death on protected industries, was the product of one congress, and acts putting wool and tin plate on the free list are the products of another. These things show the purpose of the demo­ cratic party with the candidate it has chosen if it regains power. The people will look back of platforms and letter^ of acceptance to get the interpretation of their words and phrases. It will not be surprising if Mr. Cleve­ land desires to change the issue under the circumstances of seeing sure defeat con­ fronting him. But the people cannot be deceived, and whatever is said, the real issue is firmly fixed in their minds and on they will cast their votes. "No rogue e'er fait the halter draw I; ; With a good opinion of the law." . "Don't be alarmed, my good man," Mid a kind hearted magistrate to a trembling culprit before bim; "you will, no doubt get justice in this court," "Troth' your honor, that's just what IJna afraid of," was the reply. The de­ claration that every man is entitled to east a free ballot and have it counted has no "force bill terrors" for any- fine except such as deserve its most sweeping operation. 'Give the young man a chance" has been the demand quite common, ®cd, whatever of reflection on former methods may have been implied by the demand, it has no application to our OreSent excellent state ticket. Fifer is Only 47, Ray is not over 50, Pearson is nnder 50, Hertz is not 45, Prince is but 88, Willits is 35, and Yates is 31. All joung men, and their nomination should responded to by the young voters. IV" So long as other nations "look out ' tor No. 1" so long must this nation pro­ tect itself. It might be magnificent un •felflshness to tumble our custom houses into the water and bid other lands come to) take our market and be happy, but V;.^ ̂ "ould be a supremely silly thing to do, practically viewing the effect. To thus indulge our nebular theorists, and their thick-headed, near-sighted followers after f free trade, would be to convert, perforce, ipme of our trained factory operatives ^ . Into incompetent farmers, and compel t8ie remainder to'plod on at foreign com ; petitive scales of wages, or eat grass. We have a good thing! Let us keep it, e ,y, §nd not lose the substance in reaching ul_-l.lnr the stars. Mr. Carl Schurz, a man who has been pn every side of every question, was a good enough protectionist to be a mem " « ber of President Hayes' cabinet; but ^y- When he found that the republican parly - had no further honors to bestow upon him, and that his speeches were no ;• ^ longer in demand, at f300 per speech f:, and traveling expenses, he announced his conversion to free trade and mugwump- «ry. Now he is writing letters for the f democrats, and if they are paying him jr *t the rate of f 3 a letter it is out of all I * proportion to the benefit they get from anything he can say. Schurz has been ^---Weighed in the scales of popular opinion, f irrespective of politics, and found want- ST After all, in so much as the cholera scare has reduced and prevented emigra­ tion and caused cities to clean up, it has been a healthy visitation. Cities ought to be clean anyway, and with the emi­ grants there are worse things imported 'than cholera. There are moral and so- «ial diseases that blight. There is anarchy and lawlessness, and strange; customs and brutishness, all absorbed .Into American citizenship to lower and general average of intelligence and mor- ii;#lity, and to degrade the American population. A strict quarantine against ; these influences, perpetually maintained ff ig what is needed. Cholera is a light *4 affliction beside this moral leprosy which >, *ke emigrant ships now bring over to J.." oor shores. The better imigration of the jgf.. past, which brought good life to the na Ption, seems to have ceased. The present kind is almost universally bad. If a W'?,. ch°lera scare will reduce it, then, let us V. keep on being frightened at that, for of it is a more serious matter being frightened about. m: The tariff is an issue that the demo gladly eliminate from They will not be allowed Every man of next No ose betwgen rGov. Fifer has made a vigorous re­ ply to Judge Altgeld's sweeping accusa­ tions against the management of the state institutions. He exposes the weak­ ness of Judge Altgeld's position by point­ ing out that the latter indicts and con­ victs the managers of those institutions without showing cause. According to Judge Altgeld's statement, Gov. Fifer says, "the state institutions are mere party politics and influence, organized without any reference whatever to the great charitable and penal work of the state. What the nature of the ex-judge's information has been to enable him thus to arraign the body of able and worthy men and women--some of them grown grown grey in the state service--who now conduct so capably and intelligently the institutions of Illinois, we are not in­ formed." It is true, as Gov. Fifer points out, that Judge Altgeld's accusations are directed against men many of whom are of prominenc in the particular lines of public service in which they are en­ gaged. Some of them stand equally well with either of the candidates for gover- . They do not require the defense of the one, and without conclusive evidence are abundantly able to withstand the attacks of the other. By his denuncia­ tion of the management of the state in­ stitutions Judge Altgeld foreshadows what his policy will be should he be selected governor of Illinois. If true to his promise, he would make great changes in these institutions, with a view to the eradication of what he calls the Republi­ can machine. These changes might be made without regard to the deserts of those persons upon whom the Democrat­ ic candidate has already passed judg­ ment. It is quite likely that any sweep­ ing changes that might be attempted by Judge Altgeld, should he become Gover­ nor, would demoralize the public institu­ tions and defeat beneficient purposes for which they were created and are main­ tained. The public will not be satisfied with Judge Altgeld's drag-net criticisms of the management of the state institu­ tions so long as he does not present facte upon which to base his statements.-- Daily News. Eleven Reasons. Before workingtnen vote for Grover Cleveland this fall, it would be well for them io <i)uituine his reeord on the labor question, and how much consideration the laboring man received while Grover possessed the power to veto bills that were passed in their interest. The Work- ingmen's Mutual Reform League of New York, have tabulated the following eleven reasons: While Governor of New York he was opposed to the following labor meas­ ures: 1. He vetoed a bill establishing a de­ partment of labor, and making the Sec­ retary of said department a Cabinet Officer. 2. He vetoed the Mechanics' Lien law bill, making the wages of workingmen engaged in the construction of building a first morgage on the property. 3. He vetoed the life and limb bill, making employers responsible for acci­ dents happening from imperfect machin­ ery or inferior construction of buildings, 4. He vetoed the Tenement House Cigar bill, forbidding the manufacture of cigars in tenement houses. 5. He vetoed the bill compelling ele­ vated roads of New York to charge only five cents fare. >. He vetoed the printers' bill, requir­ ing all the State work to be done by union workmen.. T. He vetoed the bill making ten hours a legal day's work for all street­ car employes. 8. He vetoed the bill abolishing con­ vict labor in prisons, although this pro­ position, when submitted to the popular vote of the people, was carried by a ma­ jority of 60,000. 9. He vetoed the child labor bill, pro­ viding for the inspection of factories where children were employed, and pro­ hibiting the employment of children un­ der 14 years of age, 10. He signed a bill compelling the stationary engineers of New York City to pay a tax of $ 2 per year to the police pension fund or be debared from follow­ ing their vocation. 11. He signed the bill reducing the fees of the New York harbor pilots, which bill benefitted only the foreign steam­ ship monopolies. Dead but Doesn't Know It. I once heard a good story of a mud turtle and an Irishman. The Irishman killed the turtle (as he thought) and threw it over the fence. When he re­ turned home at night/ Bridget imformed him that the thing wasn't dead at all. "Och, but I know it's dead, sure for I killed it entirely," says Pat. "Wellifye'll look over the fence, it's the baste walking around on its back ye,11 see," rejoined Bridget. Pat climed upon the fence and studied the turtle for awhile. Getting down, he turns to Bridget an says: "Bedad Brid­ get, the baste's dead all right, and doesn't know it." That is about the condition of the democratic party. It will "know it" in November if not before.--Windsor Re­ view. tiettar From Washington. WASHINGTON , D. C., Sept. 24th, '93. EDITOR PLAINDKA LER:-Per in it me to say to my comrades in our Post and to your patrons in general, that the Encamp­ ment at Washington has been one of the grandest things the country ever saw. Many have started for home which leaves more room for those who remain a few days longer to enjoy the sights of the city and surroundings. The daily papers are full of information from a general stand point. The delegates were treated to an excursion down the Potomac river yesterday, and were sup­ plied by the citizens' committee with all they could eat and drink while on the trip. We stopped at Indian Head, where the navy tests their new guns and the armor steel plates to be "heed in the construction of battle ships, gunboats, etc. There we saw a steel plate ten inches thick with a hole shot into it with a solid shot, going almost through, only cracking the plate. Five shots have been fired at this plate at a distance of 200 feet. The only one penetrating it was from a 10-inch gun, 33 feet 10 inches long, the ball, or shell, weighing 700 pounds, the guQ itself weighing over 40 tons. At the navy yard we saw a pair of guns, on^ompleted the other under the process of construction, The coinplefc- ed gun the largest ever constructed, was 30 ft. 9 in. long, weighing fifty-one tons, car­ rying a shell weighing 850 pounds. The gun is a 12-inch bore and will do good execution 12 miles. At the navy yard I saw some, of the old guns which were captured from the British. They are kept only as relics. The school boat for the navy was statiotfgd^ere and its doors open for the G. A. R. boys, and as far as the boys are concerned, we were told at the start that the capital of the United States had never before surrendered, but now they were willing to do so to the G. A. R. boys, as they were the rightful owners, having bought it with their blood. Therefore every public building in the city, even to the U. S. Treasury building, with its $90,000,000 of gold and silver, was visited by thousands of the boys who could put their fingers on the boxes containing the money but the boxes were inside tbe grates and the key ewas lost (to us.) The President's mansion was opened to the boys and they were even allowed to sit down on the costly sofas and chairs. But it was a great disapp int- ment that they could not see our Pres> dent. He could not be persuadei to leave the bedside 'of his wife and could only send his regrets to the boys who made it possible for him to be President of the United States. Everything has been done that could be done by the citizens' committee for the comfort and entertainment of all. I can not spare more time now as'thereare many sights yet to see, but more anon, Yours Truly, H. C. MEAD. COLUMBUS DAT. If Gov. Flower accepts the resignation of Commissioner Peck, which he claims to have had in hjs hands since last wink ter, during this campaign, it will be worth a hundred thousand votes to Har­ rison and Reid, in New York state alone. Pithy, Pointed and Pertinent. The North Carulina man who gave Adlai the left hind foot of a rabbit, caught in a grave yard at the full of the moon, to bring him "good luck," will be cared of one superstition when the elec­ tion returns are footed up. Prosperity for the individual/prosper­ ity for the state and prosperity for the nation; that's what the republican party stands for and has always stood for. The motto which the southern aristo­ crats borrow from the European nobil­ ity, "keep the masses ignorant and poor, and they are easily controlled"--was long ago adopted by the democratic party for its very own. Poverty at home, prosperity abroad, that's the keystone of the democratic arch. There is one thing in common between Commissioner Peck and sensible people Everywhere--dislike of mugwumps. The opinion is growing that the United States might prohibit immigration for an indefinite period with beneficial re­ sults to America and Americans. How the New York mugwumps must enjoy trying to elect Mr. Cleveland, knowing that he has promised, if elected, to turn the Federal partonage of the state over to Tammany. Truth is a mighty weapon, as Labor Commissioner Peck, of New' York, finds in dealing with his traducers. Clarkson is good enough for the Re­ publican League Clubs, which has given him a second term as president. That's what the republican p^riy propose to do for Benjamin Harrison. In the north Adlai claims to have helped put down the rebellion, ia the south he shouts "force bill domination," and ignores the The people's party is in a tion, but tbe democratic adopted its prospective erp' iamitywaiL • ^ 4 *'«3W!C °"^ti?3EKusa The following program and sugges­ tions for the observance of Columbus Day, Friday, October 21st, are taken from the circulars sent out by the execu­ tive committee: The official program prepared by the executive committee of the school cele­ bration of Columbus Day, provides for a morning celebration in all the public school houses of America. The pupils of the schools are to gather on October 21 at the usual hour in their respective school houses. As far as possible, all the rooms in each school house under the same principal should unite in having the same exercises. The parents and friends of the pupils should be brought together. Family interests on Colum­ bus Day should be made to center on the particular school house where the chil dren attend. In the country, the day ought to be made a real holiday. Farm and house­ hold work might be well relinquished, and the families of the district come to­ gether at the school house with their pic­ nic lunches, prepared to make a day of memorable festivity. The exercises of the morning being over, the afternoon might be devoted to games and social reunions of neighbors, which would make the day a joyous one to millions of our hard working population. In cities and villages, however, the citizens will probably wish a formal demonstration, which may be in their own hands. Wherever the citizens are to conduct a celebration, two matters should be especially arranged: First, that the civic celebration occur in the afternoon, so that it will not con­ flict with the. school house celebration. Second, that in the afternoon civic cele­ bration ample recognition may be givqn to the public school idea, the character­ istic throughout the day. Citizens generally should remember that their encouragement and active co­ operation, as well as certain contribu tions of money, are needed by the schools if the celebration is to be made worthy of the day and of the community. When a democrat has had his argu ment all demolished he never fails to fall back on "it's unconstitutional." The war and all progressive reforms brought about were said by democrats to be unconstitutional. Every patriotic citizen should rejoice to know that the G. A. R. encampment at Washington was the most successful ever held, from every point of view.
