Continue the Democrats ia power and tbe tariff will be very much of an issue. Ban Francisco, Lltjle Rock, Cincinnati, Baltimore and Milwaukee. The meeting closes a summer daring which (bore baa been a succession of national conventions in Philadelphia. These conventions bave been held in Phlladelpbta because ot tbe city's geographical; location, for the same reasons that caused the Continental Congress and. tby Constitutional Convention of 1787 to bVneld in Philadelphia.

At o'clock in tbe afternoon the striking girls marched in a body to the mill, and after hesitating a tew moments at the gate went inside and leturned to work. The strike at Priestly's worsted mill continues without at indication of an early settlement. Claim to Bs Victim- of a Conspiracy.

In defending the indictments charging arson in connection with the burning nf the Mclntyre mansion at Merclinn tville, N. counsel for Mr. and Mr. Mclntyre and Mrs. Sarah tussle will endeavor to prove that they are the victims of a conspiracy.

Mrs. ITussle entered SliiOO bail yesterday In the Camden Court for ber appearance for rial. for this on the failure ot mucn vaunted cures lor consumption and old age to accomplish all that was expected of them. It Is possible, too, tbat tbe Philadelphia physicians are experimenting quietly, not carina to arouse hopes, as basso often been done, tbat may be only dashed to tbe ground. It Is to be hoped tbat this Is the case.

A different view of tbe situation would be extremely disappointing, especially as the city itself and the towns and territory In ita vicinity are now suffering from the scourge, of diptberia, one of tbe most dreaded and deadly diseases to which tbe race is subject. In tbe past two weeks the deaths from diphtheria in Philadelphia have been startlingly large. At Valley Forge, Mount Holly and other places the pub-llo schools have been closed on account of the prevalence of the disease. Nearlx every year in one town or another this baa to be done, although when the germs of diphtheria are once thoroughly sown isolation, fumigation and all the devices 'adopted by medical science for Its extermination do not seem to be successful in preventing future outbreaks in the same localities of this disease, by which thousands of homes are annually desolated. It Is, therefore, of tbe most vital Importance tbat no hope of finding a remedy shall be left untried, and to fold the bands in waiting while hundreds of innocents" die seems almost criminal.

A simple cable dispatch has sufficed to bring to the Willard Parker Hospital, in New York, some of the serum used by Doctors Aaronson and Beh-Riso, at Berlin, In their new treatment of diphtheria with such marked success. Dr. Shradt feels confident that by ita use the mortality may be reduced from 50 per cent, to 14 per cent, and even less, and he is fortified In this belief by Dr. Louis FiscHK.i, who has lately been an associate of Drs. Aaronson and Behb-ino In the Berlin laboratories.

Conservatism In medicine should not de-, seend into fatalism. On this side of the water It would bave been pleasant to see the Philadelphia physicians leading in experiments with the reported remedy, as Dr. Lkidy led In his discovery oi tbe cause of triohinosis. This is the Inbtlee rear among tbe aolaiers of the salvation. Army because It is tne mtietb anniversary er tne entrance General Booth upon "religions Hfe, be having been converted wben he was 13 years old.

Major William Hal pin. iom-Kiaader of the Pennsylvania and- West Virginia division said last night: "Many people eontoM General Booth with bis son. Commander Ballington Booth, who bas charge of the work this country. Twenty-eight yours ago General Booth established the Salvation Army ia London and It bas spread nearly all ever tbe world.a division having recently been opened in the Sandwich Islands. In this State there are ISsO recruit in twenty-five cities.

Married men who devote their time to Salvation work receive $10 a week and single men 17. A soldier who has charge of a mission must make It self-sustaining, and be can not draw his salary until be bas made the mission meet expenses. General Booth will bold three meetings during his visit to this city, and we expect good results from it. Oar movement Is supported bv many wealthy people In Philadelphia, who contribute annually te help cbe canse." K. J.

Cook, manager tbe "Press," sailed for Europe yesterday on the steamship New York.City to join his family. He Is not expected home till the first of January. This Is tbe first vacation that Mr. Cook has had in thirteen years. During that period he hue tilled bis position with well-known ability and fidelity to the interests intrusted to bim and has scored a merited success, besides building np a repu-tatlon of which any business maa may well be proud.

He is fairly entitled to some recreation after his arduous labors, and bis friends unite lu wishing that be may be all tbe better for it. Evidence to theenect that the genius who was intrusted witb the work of putting up the bine and white signs that indicate the names of streets was not Infallible, can be seen dally at Twelfth and Market streets. On the side of Snetlenbnrg's big tore at the corner be has tacked op one ef the signs, but instead of giving the correct name of the city's great thoroughfare, the sign insists that it is Markle street. How much trouble this mistake has caused strangers who have arrived at the Reading Terminal it is impossible to sat. Markle street is located In the extreme end of Man ay unit.

It is mere than probable that the same sign man bas located tbe Market street sign on tbe Manaynnk thoroughfare. While a reporter was gazing at the sign yesterday Mayor Stuart happened along, and when the tatter's attention was directed to the mistake he smiled and remarked: "Accidents will happen." Malcolm Douglass, the mnsical composer of Palmer Cox "Brownies." was born in Cincinnati, Jnne 20, 1863. At a very early age he began to contribute to magazines and newspapers. His first editorial engagement was with tbe Cincinnati "Daily Sun," ef which he was tbe exchange and dramatic editor. He r-igned the position to ga te New York, a lie re, soon after his arrival, lie became the associate editor of the "Argosy.

Mr. Douglass' peems and sketches were so favorably received tbat he Anally determined to devote him sell entirely to literary work. Mr. Douglass was the first to realize the great dramatic possibilities of the Brownies, and strongly advised Mr. Cox to trans fer the wonderful little creatures of bis brain to the stage, lie was confident of Mr.

Cox ability to write a stage version, because of the dramatic strength of the artist's pictures, which abounded in comic situations. "After our first interview," said Mr.Deug-lass, "it was determined by Mr.Cox and myself to form a dramatic partnership and put lue urowmes on tne stage. "1 had written several songs oefore mv meeting with Mr. Cox. The score of the Brownies, however, is my first ambitions effort in a mnsical direction.

I hope the predictions of those kind friends who bave heard It will be fully realized, and, should it prove popular, 1 shall always believe that I was aided in its composition by the mys tic power or tne Brownies themselves. devoted many weary months to the evolu tion or tne Brownie spectacle. Wben it was finally completed to ear satisfaction the task or placing it uevoivea upon me. thought it would be a very easy matter, bnt in tins was mistaken, nomeor tne Tin agers I approached bad never even he: 1 of lie ttrownies, tnougn every cnuu lu country knows all about them. "After such opinions I was not over-confident, as may be imagined, when I approached B.

Jefferson, Klaw and Er-langer about the play. 1 fonnd that this well-known theatrical firm knew all about 'the Brownies' both backward and forward. They at once grasped tbe situation and very soon aftersigned a contract. Instead of telling us to dispense with some of the most costly effects, as we believed they would do from our experience with other managers, they instructed us to add as much as we liked to the pictorial side without troubling ourselves about tbe expense. "Mr.

cox and I in occasionally discussing the matter think ourselves very fortunate that we bave fallen Into such good hands. We have been allowed to bave our own way entirely, and our slightest wish has been respected. We have devoted nvarly two years of labor to the spectacle, and since its acceptance It has been, rewritten three times. Much new music has been added to It, and ear very souls have gone out in Oar work. One hundred and twelve county commissioners freni all parts of the Htate who hart been attending tne two davs meeting Of the eighth annual convention held at Pottsville, came to this city last night and enlivened the corridors of the Continental daring the early evening.

Afterwards they vUHed the theatres and rook in the town generally. ThAmns M. Dullard, of Luzerne, is One of the lortunate officials who is serving his second term, and this in part may be attributed to his widespread fame tlirougbont tne county as the champion "alley bull" player, a game which is exceedingly pooular In tbe villages of the Wyoming coal field. Mr. Dullard und his brother commtesioners ef Luzerne are de-sireus of building a new court house in Wilkesbarre to supplant the picturesque and old-fashioned building which now occupies the centre of the public square in that beautiful city.

As their plans Include the utilization of a different site to that at present occupied, there has been much opposition from owners ot property in the the vicinity and an injunction from the courts has for the present impeded their progress.

Willard. The Lumbermen's Exchange members are taking exceptional interest in tbe cases wbicb bave been recently prosecuted by the Posioffice antborlties in connection with lumber frauds. A prominent member of the Exchange said yesterday that the lumber trade of Philadelphia has been handicapped beyond belief by the operations of swindlers. Backwoodsmen who bave lumber to sell are tempted to ship to Irresponsible persons by reason of the exceptional high prices offered, and then wben tbey find that, by reason of their own greed, they have been duped they elass all Philadelphia dealers in the same category and refuse to ship to this market.

Thehurricane which cauie shrieking and bowling from tbe ocean to sweep across New Jersey early yesterday morning carried death and destruction. Two vessels were wrecked, and one life was lost in the interior of tbe State, while all along the coast the angry wavea and tbe furious wind caused damage. Tbe two-masted schooner Lanrena Reed, Captain Gideon Risley, coal laden and bound from Jersey City to English Creek, came ashore early yesterday morning on tbe inner bar of Ocean City. The crew of three men took to the rigging and after four hours of exposure to tbe gale were rescued by the life savin if crew Irorn Ocean City. The schooner was owned by John Xngersoll and will will probably prove a total loss.

The fishing smack Louise was driven ashore at Highland iBeach duVlng the height ot tbe storm and will prove a total loss. Tbe government Hie savers were soon at the wreck and rescued tbe crew of teu meu, who had taken refuge in the rigging. Many vessels which were caught near tbe Jersey coast by tbe storm -were in great danger and if the gale bad not subsided some wonld have gone ashore. Five sailing vessels were in danger at one time off Cape' May. A big steamer waa saved from going ashore off Long Branch by her anchors holding.

She got away when tbe gale abated. DAMAGE AT LONG BRANCH. Tbe damage at Long Branch is great. About 100 feet of piling of tbe new Iron pier was washed out. The bulkhead between the Brighton and Grand View Hotels Is badly wrecked.

A cut ef about twenty-five feet was made in tbe Dlnff on the East End property. About twenty-five feet of the West End Hotel was blown off and the old Oliver Cottage, adjoining, was up roofed. So also were the cottages of H. H. Painter, of Washington, O.

and E. M. Shaffer, of New York. Many bathing houses were washed out to sea. In Sea -Bright a number ot buildings were unrooted.

The tracks of the New Jersey Southern Railroad Sea-Bright and Highland Beach bave been covered with sand washed, up by tbe waves. Throughout tbe interior of tbe State tbe damage was confined chiefly to broken wires, damaged trees and outbuildings and beaten-down crops. In Jersey City three horses were killed by coming in contact witb live wires. Many abade treea were uprooted. KILLED IN HER BED.

At 5.30 o'clock yesterday morning, when tbe gale was at ita height and tbe wind most furious, a chimney was blown down on tbe root ot a bouse in Chestnut street, Knglewood. N. J. The house was occupied by Lawyer Thomas B. Kerr, his wife, two sons and two daughters.

Crashing through the roof tbe ch'lmney fell across the bed on which Miss Mary Kerr, the 19-year-old daughter, was lylne. She was frightfully crnsbed and died two hours later. The Egg Hrtor River overflowed its banks In several placea near May's the lowlands were flooded. High tides in the Raritan River caused an overflow In tbe Delaware and Raritan Canal at New Brunswick, and the lower part of the city waa flooded, causing considerable damage. PLAYED HAVOC WITH WIRES.

Tbe Gal PTQved on Annovance to Electricity-Users In Camden. Tbe 'gale yesterday morning played havoc with electric light and telephone wires in Camden, Shortly after mid, night an electric light wire at Fifth and Federal streets was blown down, and wben Policeman Pedrlck tried to remove it be received a shock tbat made bim think be had been kicked by a mule. Incandescent lights in tbe neighborhood were useless last nisht. About 4 o'clock in the morning crossed wires set tire to Charles Fulon'a bakery, 524 Federal street, causing $50 damage. A number of industrial establishments which depend upon electricity lor power were idle during tbe morning.

Tbe damage from the storm bad only been partially repaired last night. DEATH RECALLS A ROMANCE. Captain Clark" the Fair Nnrse Who Saved Him Front tbo Oraye. Special to The Inaulrer. Poiht PLXASaitT.X.

The Democratic candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania continues to complain that General Hastings Ignores what, he la pleased to term "State issues." Bat it is noticed that the complainant con tinea himself to the reiteration of the declaration tbat protection is dead and buried. Is tbia his idea of State Issues? Talk about reforming Tammany Is as sensible as it would be to talk of re-terming the sable gentleman who Is popularly supposed to have a cloven foot. The only hop's of reforming Tammany lies in feeding it a dose of toadstools, and then firing the contents of a seven-sheotsr Into its reeking carcass just for luck. likewise do it soon We are not disposed to believe tbat Secretary Whitney's letter indorsing Senator Hill for Governor is totally without value, as several Republican papers have said. On tbe contrary, It possesses unusual signi Scan ce.

It proves, first, that Mr. Whitney is not above allying himself with everything that Is corrupt in bis party, and second, it may be taken as a fair Indication tbat tbe bee In the Whititet bonnet still keeps up its murmurous lay. One of the most emphatic rebukes administered to the party In power comes, unintentionally no doubt, from Commissioner Wadf Hampton, and is the result ot his tour of investigation over tbe Pacific Railway systems. He finds those roads, he says, in good condition and doing a fair business, "the existing situation" considered. The whole essence of the question lies In those words, "the existing situation," and tbe responsibility for its creation.

Tbe responsibility has already been fixed, but it is something gained to have the existence of the unfavorable results of misgovern men admitted by one who la himself a part of the responsible party. Without consultation with other places or any organized movement a number of towns in Pennsylvania spontaneously paid honor to Andrew Grkgg Curtis yesterday by closing their places ef business and in other ways giving expression upon the dayeof bis iuneral to their appreciation of his great service to this State and tbe United States Government. It would not bave been too much had every town in the State joined In this tribute. A mere suggestion would have sufficed to bring this about. The people ot tbe State abonld yet give a more formal expression of tbelr appreciation of Curtin than has yet been possible.

The Inquirer has shown frequently that with adequate duties upon wool tbe number of sheep on American farms Increased steadily, as did also their yield per head. It Is an open secret also tbat this increase in the number of sheep bad a tendency to reduce tbe price of mutton, thus dividing the benefits resulting from the tariff. The price of woolen garments also moved downward another movement in which the farmer shared to his advantage. Under tbe approach to free trade tariff of 1840 tbe consumption ef wool was only 4)4 pounds for each person, while in 1890 the average was 10 pounds. Every argument against free wool, save that of certain selfish New England manufacturers, ia thus knocked out.

There is thus no real issue between the parties on the tariff question. The veter who lias convictions and strong desires on that subject cannet give his support to any candidates with the assurance that ha will thereby either turn the tide of legislation buck toward undiluted protection doctrine or give a new Impulse toward free trade. Providence Journal. Net so fast, not so fast. Tbe President of the United States and Chairman Wilson have agreed tbat the present bill must be used as vantage ground merely lor the further prosecution of Here Is Consistency for Yon.

There never was a reasonable deubt of tbe defeat of David B. Hill for Governor of Ifcw York. The manner in which tbe Repnblioan hosts are sweeping over the land long ago made it plain that New York would be no exception to the general rule. But if there was even tbe semblance of a doubt the temper shown by the bolt of the Shepard-Fairchild Democrats places Hill's election out of the question. Tbe movement Is an important one.

and yet it is 1 nil of queer inconsistencies. Tbe followers oi Shepard and Fair-child are Cleveland Democrats and Mugwumps. They chose delegates and sent them to the Democratic State Convention. They were repudiated. In their address to the public they profess to have been dishonestly and unfairly excluded by the vote of a packed and Interested committee and a vote under gag law in tbe convention." Hence tbey are up in arms and they have named Everett P.

Wheeler as their candidate for Governor. This is well enough as a protest against Hill, and it is Hill, of course, tbat every Cleveland Democrat is aiming at, but why not bave been honest about it? They complain tbat they were ignored by a packed committee and a gagged convention, and yet they turn solely upon Hill, the only one ef tbe leadera who stood np for them and demanded their admittance to tbe convention. At the same time they accept Lock wood for Lieutenant-Governor, tbe nominee oi that same gagged convention, and they take Brown for Judge, albeit be was selected by Mr. Hill's own State Committee. Here is consistency for you! But as tbe object is to humiliate Hill and to elect Cleveland's friend Lock wood if possible, consistency is perhaps not be expected.

We are told that the bolters are congratulating themselves upon their smartness in Indorsing the entire ticket with the exception of Hill. But let us see bow that will work. Their platform requires further tariff tinkering free coal and free orea and the like. How can tbey expect, under tbe circumstances, to hope to elect any Democrat upon such principles as these? But leaving tbat matter out consideration, do tbey expect Hill's friends to vote the whole ticket, knowing full well that Cleveland Democrats and Mugwumps will cut the head of it? Hill is not that eort of a man. He Is certain to defeated in any event, and the one hope, the one grain oi comiort he can expect, is to run ahead of the others on the ticket and thus prove that he is still the most popular Democrat.

To dn this there must be an extensive rutting of Lock wood and Brown to offset the cutting of Hill. Tbns nothing but a cut-throat fight can be looked for, Aiid this to the general demoralization of the Democratic party and the majority for the Morton ticket ought to be something enormous. Fred. Leonard a. I rotecii on 1st.

Some ot the Democratic papers in the Sixteenth Congressional district profess to be much concerned over their alleged discovery tbat Fred C. Lkonard, the Republican candidate for Congress, Is a tree trader. If their pretended discovery waa well founded their apparently genuine fear of the consequences ot sending a free trader to Congress from Pennsylvania would indicate either a complete concession on the part of Fori n-sylvania Democrats or that they never accepted tbe leadership and teachings of rover Cleveland. Either way the outlook is not encouraging to the free trade candidate for Governor, whose journal is so anxious to discuss State issues. As it happens, hero is a State issue turning up just in the nick ot time to meet tbe demands of tbe journal in question, and it cannot do better than to explain to Its readers why it is that Pennsylvania Democrats should be so much afraid of -the Sixteenth district sending a free trader to Washington.

As for Mr. Leonard, he is net a free trader. He has written from Couders-port a letter to tbe Willlamsport "Gazette and Bulletin," In which be declares that if be bad been a member ot the present Congress be should bave voted against tbe Wilson bill, and If elected to tbe Fifty -fourth Congress that he will follow tbe protection leaders In voting for the protection of American Industries. Contact with practical life, adds Mr. Leonard, long since effaced all free trade notions which he may bave acquired at school.

Mr. Leonard Is a graduate of Yale College. While tbere be sat 1 pnder the teachings, of Professor Sumner. Yale's distinguished free trade professor of political economy. Tbe error was in tbe college, not In tbe student, and it took bnt a short experience of tbe world to make Mr.

Leonard a protectionist. For fifteen years be baa supported with bis vote tbe Republican policy of protection for borne labor and tbe home market. And in the next Congress tbe promised attempts of Mr. Cleveland's followers to disturb still further the business of tbe conntry by additional tariff rednctiona will receive no support from the Republican representative of the Sixteenth district. Philadelphia, and.

the New Core for Diphtheria. Tbe presence of 8200 medieal students in Philadelphia, tbe fame ot her medical schools, tbslr splendid equipment, their possession of laboratories which are the finest In tbe world, and of hospitals which are tbe largest and best arranged la the conntry make it desirable tbat Philadelphia abonld continue to lead tbe conntry in every advancement of medical science. It la, therefore, with something like regret tbat it will be observed that the New York hospitals have made arrangements to test tbe new diphtheria cure tbe Philadelphia schools and bospitals appear to be watting to see tbe rosults ot experiments made elsewhere. Tbere may be tome measure of excuse The Pennsylvania National JGuard baa furnished from ita ranks an officer to tbe regular army in the person of Grant Worrillow, formerly a luiem-ber of Company II. Sixth Regiment, N.

G. P. Formerly a Chester county printer, bis service in tbe State guard gave falm a fondness for military life and at Fort Leavenworth he has just passed a remarkably aneeeasful mental examination, a tan sing at the bead ot a class of seventeen, among whom were students from West Point and Annapolis and a graduate of Ann Arbor. Private Worrillow thus becomes Lieutenant Worrillow. Governor McKinlkv's Western tour baa been one prolonged ovation.

At each of the thirteen Illinois towns In which bespoke yesterday crowds met bim at the station or crowded the courthouses or halls in which his meetings were held. The enthusiasm Is a tribute first to the" man, bnt more particularly to tbe cause for whlou be stands, in other words, the cause of the people. Wherever he baa gone it has been tbe same. Tbe campaign liar bad his innings two years ago, but he is knownat bis true worth, and now speaks to empty or incredulous benches. The women of New York bave enlisted in tbe crusade against Tammany and announced their intention id stay until the end.

They are now holding nightly meetings, exactly aa tbe women of Colonel Br kck in ridge's Congress district did, and are arranging to give their time and money to tbe cause. The fact ia significant as indicating bow complete the revulsion against Tammany is, and how bopelul is the battle against it. Women are believed to have turned tbe tide in the Kentucky campaign mentioned and tbey will be expected to do much In New York. A West Virginia bnsband who tried to commit suicide was out down by bis loving wife before death came, and as soon as be recovered he took tbe rope and gave her a sound beating with it. There seems to be a moral in this little story for somebody, and somehow it does not strike us that' it vindicates the loving wife.

T' The twenty murderers that havees-caped bangine in Luzerne county within the past two years might be able. to prevent some Interesting remarks upon that fool blot on American civilization lynch law. Senator Hill will open the New York campaign lor his party In Syracuse to-night. A more accurate way of putting it would be to nay tbat be will then inaugurate the ghost dance for vanishing braves. Over in New York the bolting Democrats talk about "unscrupulous leadership, snan methods, corrupt practices and ring rule." This isn't half as picturesque as "ringsters, roosters and ruffians."

Stewart, tbe Democratic candidate for Congress in the Third Michigan district The district named is now represented by the Honorable Julius Csesar Burrows, sometimes called the Cicero of the Kalamzoo flats, but more properly styled tbe Great Scalper of the Northwest. Notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Stewart is described by the Detroit "Free Press' as "one ot tbe ablest lawyers, the shrewdest politicians, and the hardest campaigners In the we do not believe that Julius Caesar will have to change his name or title this year.

When November comes and roes he will still be tbe Big Chiet of the Kalamazoo tribe. What Hoke Smith means when he says' tbat there really was a great Democratic victory in Georgia is that be Is still anxions'to hang on to his job. They called it the coast, storm, but it bowled around here loud- enough to rob the shore line of the glory ot having monopolized its destructive glances. And now the New York faotorieabave begun to tumble and bury -the unfortunate occupanta ot neighboring tenements in tbelr ruins. Isn't tbere anything that isn't rotten In that unfer-tuaate town? Again tbe reports show that tbe Chinese-Japanese see-saw is sawing only in the' Japanese way.

In this town it's nip and tuck between the trolley and all the human ailments pnt together when it conies to gathering them in. The headline, "Damaged by 'the Storm," ought to be kept standing in every Democratic office from now until the November returns are in. I Vice-President Stevenson's speech yesterday was largely devoted, according to tbe dispatches, to explaining the Democratie attitude on tbe tariff. Very likely.

Le-tltla Ramolina Bonaparte, "Madame Mere," although of noble birth, resided for many years in Corsica in a most humble manner, yet had the satisfaction of living; to see her children occupy positions of great prominence in the affairs of Europe, placed there by her second son, Napoleon.

The affection between the mother and this son throughout life was so extraordinary that it was frequently the subject of public admiration. To this good woman's frugal tastes, wise judgment and indomitable will the "Man of Destiny" no doubt owed a great deal of his success through life. Madame Letitla was born at AJaccio. Corsica, on the 24th of August, 17o0. She was married to Charles Bonaparte when she had but completed her 16th year.

She is said to have been a most beautiful woman, and was celebrated as such throughout the Island of Corsica. While in her th year she was left a widow, with five sons and three daughters, out of the thirteen children she had borne her husband: The sons were: First, Joseph, afterwards successively King of Naples and Spain; second, Napoleon himself; third. Lucien; fourth, Louis, afterwards King of Holland; fifth. Jerome, subsequently King of Westphalia.

That the trolley cars are more comfortable for tbe riders goes without saying, that they are swiiter was never denied, but tbe fact remains that tbey are engines of death, reminding one only of the lamoua car of Juggernaut which rolled over the prostrate bodies of Indian devotees. More than a scare of persons bave already been crushed beneath the wheels of the trolley cars, snd the death rate ia increasing.

We do not suppose for a moment that it i possible at this time to displace the trolleys. Tbat will come later with something but it Is Imperative tbat Councils at once take np tbe matter ot compelling companies to pnt on lenders. It is claimed by the managers that the perfect fender has not yet been invented. Never mind. Use the best in the market.

Tbere are several that have stood very rigid tests. This wholesale slaughter of the Innocents imist cease. Every steam railroad is forced to pnt gates and watchmen at every grade crossing, bnt the aggregate danger from trolleys, as now run, is far greater than if every steam railroad crossing were left unguarded. Tests in other cities have shown 'that certain fenders are very effective in preventing accidents. These should be employed immediately, and it better ones are Invented later their use should be insisted on.

The trolley lines are making enormous profits and should be compelled to guarantee the highest possible degree oi safety to the public. "The Truants."

The practical freedom of tbe city was gracefully extended to tbe delegates at their first session and was gratefully accepted. Baltimore is a city in which that honor means much.

Among the addresses delivered by tbe delegates that Oh the duty of banks to ward tbe public, by Mr. Comegts, of this city, was undoubtedly the most notable. We venture to hope tbat it will be read by every Populistie Democrat and every Socialistic Populist in the country. It will open their eyes to the fact that bankers are not armed brigands, scouring tbe country for victims lor their bludgeons, but men of ae pure a purpose as any of those who stand on the hilltops and prate about Wall street. We quite agree with the Providence 'Journal" that tbe Democrats of Massachusetts bave put up a ticket wbicb is unobjectionable in itself, but It stands no earthly chance of being elected.

Three times in suecession one of tbe Russell name swept tbe Bay State against a Republican nominee. Massachusetts was beginning to be called a debatable State. Something changed the aspect of affairs and it was not tbe character, of the nominees. The voters have learned the old truth that party candidates, alter all, represent party and ought to be chosen as snob? The Russell family is as good to-day as It ever was. It Is tbe policy and principles of the Democracy which are being repudiated.
