Our friend, Fsmuel A. Miller, tbe late Cong regional candidal of iba Ueraoeracy In the First Dle-trlot. mast that It la txX.Hr to loser In a rood cause than a winner In a bad one. He can extract a good deal of consolation from ttaa fact tbalJWenator Sherman In hit Knqviaaa Interview, In alluding to the advocated all the strong points mads by Mr. Miller la ble able and vigorous campaign.

Mr. Miller songbt especially to Impress upon tba people the fact tbat the tariff on agar la a robbery, and tbat for every dollar' worth of sugar tbey bought tbey bad to first pay a tax of sixty centa, tboa leaving the value of tbatr dollar forty oenta. The Republican preu of Clnolunatl ridiculed Mr. Miller's tariff reform Ideas, dabbed him a free trader, and abused him generally. Now tbat tbelr beloved Idol, loeberg t-hermon.

VllO STARTED ITt Tbe papers of the State are having a great time quarreling over tbe queatlon of wblob ts entitled to tba credit of first proposing the consolidation of elections. Tbe Cleveland I'laln Dealer, tbe Cleveland leader and tbe Cincinnati Commercial all claim the honor, and all are approving It editorially. Tbe fact of tba matter Is that the first line.

Item or article published on tbe question appeared In the Cincinnati Kkqcikku. A day or two after tba election of 2d tbe writer called upon Colonel McClung, the Clark of tbe Cincinnati Election Board, to ascertain, if possible, the total expense of tbat election to Cincinnati. Several remarks were made concerning the pleasant manner In which the election bad been conducted under the new law, when Colonel McClung remarked that thera was a proipeot of making tbe expense still less by having but one election a year, lie commented on tbe fact tbat under tbe present system tbe people were never over sixty dys away from an eleotlon of some sort, primary or regular, and exhibited a small ballet-box. such as ts used In New York, and said tbat if eousolld ted, tickets for municipal, county and Btate offices would be voted In separate boxes. Continuing, the Colonel said tbat a bill drawn up under tbe supervision of the Board of Elections and providing for tbe consolidation of elections would be introduced this winter.

All tbls appeared In TBI Knqcibkk tbe next morning as an Interview with Colonel MoClung. It was the first-line published on the subject, and was a matter of news. The next thing to appear on the aub lent was when the same reporter Interviewed Governor Foraker at the Ulbson House In Cincinnati. He bad read Colonel McClung's Interview and heartily Indorsed Its sentiments, as did also Captain John Fehreubatcb, who was present. Tbat was tbe second artiole on tba subject.

A few days later tbe fourteen members of tbe Hamilton County delegation were Interviewed by tbe writer of this article, and with ona exception, Mr. Ecgers, they all approved the scheme to consolidate elections. Tbat was the third artiole without a chirp on the subject from any other Ohio paper. Then, after Tun had published seventeen Interviews on the subject, giving the opinions of fourteen members of the Legislature, the Governor of tbe Btate and others, tbe enterprising press found out that such a question was mooted and began to dlsouss lb Tbat Is all right, but it Is refinement of gall for them now to begin to quarrel among themselves over the credit. If there be any, of being tbe first In tbe field.

All the credit Tm EsvIVIkbh claims Is In being tba first to give tbe news, as It always Is. TUB fOPULAS IDEA. For the new election law embraces tbe following: V. Elect all State officers for four years, thus making a State election every two year. S.

Make registration law general over the Btate. a Make election day a legal holiday. a Close polls uniformly the Slat over at (our o'clock In tha afternoon. Borne kind of an amendment will undoubtedly be submitted to tbe people. Public sentiment demands fewer elections, and the legislature seems Inclined to defer a good deal to tbe pressure.

OVa LOBWKN6TEI2V, Trealdent of the Cincinnati City Counoll, aomea up here frequently. Rome aentlemen were dtscusxlna the prospects of the next Ohio delegation to tbe National Republican Convention being divided between lllalneand Sherman. and the remark was made tbat Hamilton County would go almost solidly for Blaine, as tbe Young Men's Blaine Club, tbe most active factor In Republican affairs tn Cincinnati, had all tbe alert and aagaotoua politicians In Its ranks, and they were all for Blaine. "That may be," said Uus; "Sherman has treat strength. Now, out in tha Seventeenth Ward, where I live, a delegate running as a Blaine man would stand no show at all.

They ire all for Bberman there." Sneaking of the prospects of a new City Balldlng for Cincinnati, Mr. Loewensteln remarked tbey were a little hampered for anoney now, and did not care to go ahead; but as soon aa tba Dow law was found constitutional and treasury became flush they would erect a building of whloh tha city would be proud. OLD TIMES. Clark Irvine, of Knox County, Ex-Chairman of tbe Democratic Btate Executive Committee, and Ueorg Okey, Reporter of the Supreme Court, who wag associated with, htm on tha committee In 1S80, were sitting in the Veil House the ether evening talking over old times. "Yea." said Clark, "tbe old-tlmera who once kept things lively around here are dropping out of tight In Stale politics.

A SON'S ANXIETY For Bis Aged Mother Found Tied Down In Bed. SPECIAL DISPATCH To TBB BJSatTCBXB, New Okleakh. December 10. The police, being notified last night that a man named John Hickey had his mother a prisoner In his house, on Bienville street, visited the place.

Hickey refused to admit tbem, and they were compelled to break in. In a rear room was found Mrs. Hickey, a gray-haired woman of over seventy, securely fast ened to the and unable to move. A large belt around her waist waa attached to straps, whloh were tied under the bed. Her arms were stretched out and aeoured to the posts by leather wristlets, while her feet were tightly bound to the bottom of tba bed with a clothes-line.

The old lady had been kept thus tied np for live days. When relieved she told tbe officer tbat her son was a good boy a better son never lived. Tbe son, who waa in tba yard crying, explained tbat he bad been compelled to tie his mother in thW way because she tore her clothes. He had been very careful not to hurt her, and fearing tbat ropes would cut her had straps made expressly for this purpose. He waa recently insane, and an ex amination sbowed tha mother alao to be slightly deranged.

Hickey was released some months ago from the asylum, and pleaded plteously not to be sent back there and bej- cume violent when confined In a cell at the Police Station.

Wa learned tbat by going over tba mountain and down Into tha next valley wa might catch a coal and ore train at a road crossing. Bo over the mountain we went and through tha woods for two miles. By hard walking and diligent Inquiry we fonnd tba railroad and tha croaainK. ansaiovABT wane Here we fonnd two colored men, at black as tbe aee of elnbt, waiting for the train. Wa all proceeded to Interview tbe colored brethren aa to their "past, present and previous" condition, and, aa we were four to one, we made them give np all tbey had, "What are you doing here, boytt "Waltln fo de train." "Where do you work "Dp dar In de mlnee." "What do you get a day?" "Git dollow ten centa on de pnUlde, and a dollow and a quater on de inside." "How much, does It ooat yon a week to llvet" "We kin live first-rate, sab, on a dollow and a quarter a week." "How long have yon been here" "Six months, sah." "Get all tha work yon want?" "Lou of It; and dey is no trouble yah among while people and de colored people." "Where did yon come from "We came from Greenville, 8.

"Can yon read and writer" "Mighty little. 1 don't tee what use It Is to a poo man nohow, neither." By this tlma Brother Miller and Brother Rising got down off the fence, and surrounding the colored brothers began to do aome missionary work. I stood apart and listened to them tell tbe old, old story about saving up your money and luylng op something fur a rainy day.

Yon mutt learn to read and write If you want to be men, and so on for quantity. After my beloved companions bad unloaded all tbelr beautiful sentiment tbat tbey carry in perpetual store, I approached and laid: "Yes, my dear colored brothers, both of these white men were once poor and honest like yourselves, and tbey used to work eighteen hours a day for S12 a month, but In an evil hour tbey)earoed to read and figure, and with this knowledge they learned to charge SI for S3 worth of goods. Now they are both rich and miserable, and, having no wings to fly with, they had to walk over the mountains like us poor people. Let me ad. vise you, my dear colored brothers, not to learn to read and write.

but Just now tbe it drunk and crazy on real ettate prices. I think inside of three years there will be 100,000 people In thla town. It will not be the great city of Alabama, how ever. Tba histories of cities show that they all follow a general law, and tbe development of the endless mineral wealth of this region will lead to tbe location of two great cities one on the Gnlf and tbe otber on the nearest point on tba Tennessee River. A railroad which baa been organized and will soon be built, will be tba most important In the State.

It will only be 140 miles long, and It will connect tide-water and navigation with the Tennessee River, and it will run through tha Iron, coal and stone fields, Tbla means tha revival of Mobile, whloh has recently been decaying, and tbe birth of a newolty on the Tennessee Riverat a very early data. The character of a population always found in a town like Birmingham, will drive even the men who make their money there to locate and live elsewhere as a rule. I could take a page relating incidents and facta about the enormoua money made here in real estate and email Investments. There are some men who sell property here who agree to take It baok In six months at tba coat price lest 20 per cent.

This It explained by tha fact tbat the surrounding coal lands arc largely owned by monopolists, who arc interested in the market forooal, and that being only fonr oenta a bushel, and of a superior quality, they don't want any gas or oil hare.

Ohio. Ho waa of good address, gentlemanly appear ing, and. aa ha spent bla money lovlahly, soon had no end of friends. From his own story, told to the gentlemen front whom he begged assistance, be has for more than a year corresponded with a dashing yonng lady in this city, aad had formed a moat ardent feel-lag aad bad Indulge In tao moat gashing sentiments regarding ber. A few days ago his family, which, by the way, is most respectable, -left Dayton for a visit to San Francisco.

Jimmy 1 ho ught it a good opportunity to accompany them as far aa Indianapolis, and did so. Scarcely had be taken farewell of bit parents, and before even registering, he hied himself to the object of bis devotion. There ho lingered for a time backing in her smiles, and then, tearing himself away, want to tba Bates House. where, overcome with amotion, it would stem, at being In the very town In which ehe lived, he proceeded to dally with red liquor and an occasional small bottle of yellow label. Of eanTBs.

ha anon tienamo aeaaalnted. Ha hwaa tickled to death, and wanted the town to Join him In his hilarity. Part of the town did. He was taken oat the road, purchasing vehicles himself for a party of friends, and had a wild and devilish time. Judging from his story ha was worked for all be was worth.

A sparring snatch was got np for his benefit, and a foot race was arranged. Every thing waa dona that could be to make thlnga pleasant for him. On tbe spearing match be waa given pointers on which man to bet, and ho Jftet Strange to say, however, the man upon whom he bet lost, and one of the gang pocketed Jimmy's good lucre. The tame was the case with re gard to tbe foot race. To torn the whole mat-tar ha dropped hla bundle, and was left to again reach the city tbe best he could.

But be aa Innocent lad, and with tha idea of keeping things moving he telegraphed for money. It was forthcoming, and disappeared as rapidly a did the otber. He bad to have more money. His ancle. Mr.

He wore some valuable Jewelry, diamonds and a handsome watch, worth, all told, SoOO to S60Q, which he offered to put np as security If tbey would get him a couple of hundred dollars for a few days. Ha was a forger, he said, and knew that it would only be a few days until he would be discovered, and would then, unless he could return tbe money, be arrested and! imprisoned. He failed to make a raise from tbe gentlemen to whom ha appealed, and as a last resort declared that he would pawn his Jewelry. He made no attempt to secretly transact hit negotiations, bnt re peated his story not only to your reporter Jnt to a number of other.

December lo. I hove heard today the moot remarkable political story of the day. It Is given on ths authority of Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, and came to me from a close personal friend of Governor Hill to whom tna Seaator related it. It eeemo that daring tha Benton controversy Senator Cockrell. as well as his pugnacious little ool-' esgoe.

Senator Vest, had oceatioa to call. often on President Cleveland. Tha conversa tions naturally ran along tha lino of political discussion with refer na to 1838. Presi dent Cleveland waa warned of the danger ho was in of alienating bis party friends in New Tork State Bis responses indicated tbat ha had become possessed of tba Idea that ho could carry tbe oonntey without New Tork State. Ha haa just returned from, too Harvard commencement, and be declared in emphatic terme that he believed that ho could corry Maaaachaaetta, New Hampahlra aad Connecticut of the New Xnglaad Btateej Msine, aa against any ona bat Blalns, and enough States In tho North-west, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota possibly, to carry the election with tha aid of tha solid Sosth without Kew York.

Thialsa IUUaBISIA To that which prevailed in Blaine's mind when he entered into the eempalga of U8a He anticipated being able to break the solid Sooth, and by carrying Virginia, Wees "Virginia and Tennessee, possibly with one of the Carolines or Florida, to bo able to win without the Empire State, He found at a' late day that it was Impracticable. Now! Cleveland haa a similar notion, and It may' prove bis disaster as It did Bloines. waxrao TABS. Considerable bad blood it being stirred is. in the Republican ranks hare In tbe Senator-: ship fight Some of it la tho result of tho la-- i terferenoe of tha Republican State Oomaalo- tee.

to rial contest here a matter of Interesting itudy. What Republioana moat lack Is lead erthip and the restoration to tho party ranks of tha slement of active political work. The drift of things in the party for aeveral years baa been to bring to tba front negative men who have been oppoeed to leadership, which i they termed boaslsm. Some of Senator Mlller'a friends teem to think that he is do veloping tha requisite qualifications for leader. I was talking with Railroad Commit- tloner John ODonnell to-day, whan ho aaldt "There is an impression ap through the State that Mr.
