Without discussing the authority of the ccraraittee the Beacon accepts its action and will support Mr. Simpson as a Democrat. Free sugar, free iron ore, free coal and other of the so-called "pop-gun bilh" vill be pur. hed to a -winning condasioi On these Simpson is sounc Long is totally opposed to lov taxation, and as a protectiorist he i3 an enemy to the real interest of Kansas, Simpson has been a democrat on practical questions. It makes no difference what he believes cn non-essential matters.

His paper money fallacies will fall to the ground, while his election to congress may defeat a republican speaker. This is the situation in a nutshell. The same irresistible logic holds good in the Fourth District. Curtis is a high protectionist and a gold bug, (See Congressional Record, page 321.) While on the other hand S. M.

Scott is a free trader, and a champion of free silver. The democrats of course lack numerical strength to elect N'eil, hence the" situa tion in reality in this: shall they elect Curtis, a protectionist, or Scott a free a question no trine democrat will be long deciding.

Ttte State Democracy fVInt; ef tbe Perty litest! ottll to BlU't JtomlMtloB The oator Getting the ley ot the lend-Bit terly Denounced Te tfepramp reeer NiwYobi, Sept. i Of almost as much interest in this state is the question still unsettled as to whether Setator Hill will or will sot accept the gubernatorial ccnv.n&tica is the question as to what the state Democracy and ether bodies of Dexccrats opposed to Tammany and machine rule will do.

Opinion is divided to the matter, and more than one shrewd politician declares that Bill will delay hie reply to the committee cf notification until he can receive some definite information as to the lay of the land in the direction of those who have heretofore been openly hostile to him and his machine methods. His statement yesterday that ht would cpe a the campaign ia Brooklyn, provided a united Democracy ehould greet him, is peculiarly significant on this point. Squally significant the other way ia the fact thaf ex-Secretary Charles a. Fairchild, chairman cf the state Democracy executive comcittoe, and two asti-Laugblin Democratic leader of Brooklyn had a conference yesterday. Mr.

Fairchild refused to say what the outcome of the conference would be, but declared that the state Democracy could not publicly Indorse the Sara-. toga ticket, and acknowledged that many of the members of that faction were intensely hostile to the head of the Saratoga ticket PLam wokes Br two Arias The Times, which hat been aa administration organ, in an editorial yesterday morning said: nomination of Mr. Bill wrecks 1 plans of party harmony, since be ie the leader and creator of the faction that ie for in-harmony. After loudly proclaiming that victory was hopeless without union, Mr. Hill's friends have takes a step that makes disunion chronio, and puts sew life into expiring dissent.

There is death and destruction for the party ia this kind of management. It is unintelligent and unnatural, It dries up enthusiasm, weakens party attachments, and destroys the oasis of party loyalty. The Times would not do its duty to the Democraoy if it failed to denounce the work of this convention, begun in such hopefulness and ending in tbia act of incredibility. The Democracy has lost a great opportunity." The Evening Post, administration paper, in a leading editorial said: "We consider Mr. Hill the most dangerous man in American public me.

Jtie is a aare and at lights to be considered such. He is attractive to Tammany hail and all the bosses and bad elements cf society because he represents what they all aim at and strive for. Looking back at the list cf Democratic leaders in New York, where do we find his likeness? Where is his place in the list with Van Buren, Maroy, Wright, Seymour, Til den, Cleveland? The mark of all these men is found in benefits to the state. Tbey all had ambitions. They had their battles, their friends and their enemies, yet the candid judgment of to-day aa-knowledges that each and all of them had just claims to statesmanship.

"What has David Bill doc or aimed to do that entitles him to a place in the procession? The people of New York owe themselves the duty of putting an end to his unprincipled career and bad example. That they will do so in the coming- election we have not the least doubt. The majority against him ought to be larger than that against Maynard, because he was the principal, where Maynard was only the puppet and tool." WAS HIS LIFE AIMED AT? Ltsow Coecaltttt WUntta Appt Cbtlau That HI TrUd to Kill Hist. Haw Yobs, Sept 89. George Appe, the Lexow committee witness who gave away the doings of the green goods men and who was found yesterday afternoon with his throat eat, was arraigned in the Tombs police eourt to-day.

The cut is not serious. With Appo was arrig ned Mlahael J. Beardon, who, Appo says, cut him. Appo was held for examination oa the charge of having attempted suicide and Reardon for felonous assault In court Apno said that he went to the North River hotel to serve some subpoenas for the Lexow committee. "While there," he continued, "I met the proprietor, Esar.

Bear's place was the rendezvous of the green roods men. He used to act $10 for every guy that was steered in there. Bear asked me to have a drink. He wanted to open a bottle of ine, but took whltky. Baar then atktd me not to mention his place any testimony I might give before the Lexow committee.

It will be the largest con vention in the history of this noted trade organization, delegates having oeen elected iron every district the United States and the Canada, -las aenoerations or tbe congress, moreover, will be of unprecedented importance from the fact that the ef fect of the rapid adoption of type setting machines and other matters cf vital interest to the fraternitv will be considered at length and acted upon. An advance proof of the an nual report of President W.

B. Prea- cott cf Indianapolis, and which will be presented on the opening day of me convention, reacnea tnis city today. It deals at lensrth with a score of questions affecting the fraternity ena inciuentauy ot interest to tne world of trade unionism at lanre Touching upon machines and their effect, President Frescott will say: "Coincident with, and perhaps in a measure attributable to, the depression through which the world has been passing, machines were introduced in large numbers throughout the country. Based cn the mcst reliable information obtain able, it is a conservative statement to tay that these devices of which there are aoout 1,450 in operation, accord lag to the various manufacturers- have deprived 3,500 cf our members of employment. True to the history and ethics of trade unionism have not antagonized their introduction, but have with some reluctancs.it mav be readily formulated scales and entered into agreements suitable to the eaeof ed conditions Many new questions have and will arise to harass and aggravate us, ana in dealing- with them it will benefit us and the future of the craft to be deliberate, accept ing tbe inevitable sod securing tbe very otst terms ncssioie it would be a foolish invasion cf irrefutable facts to deny or close our eyes to the inev itabie tr that machines for a time are piacisf us at a decided disadvan tage in dtaling with employers- j.

his, too, can only be minified cy the application of the basic principle of unionism hetrtv accul essence is the majority's will. It has been advocated sn some quarters that tne iattrns union secure control of patents of existing- machines or offer inducements for the invention of new snss, renting them to publishers aad others. This may be dismissed at chimerical.

Amid the darkness aad the gloom that surrounds the introduction of machines it is pleating to know that in the majority of instances employers have shown a disposition to engage their old employes as operators, thus affecting the least possible disturbance in the personnel of the affected untnn MAYOR HOPKINS IMPUQNBD.

The matter was not gone into thoroughly, but it will be made the subject of further investigation. Tbe Trade and Labor assembly, it is reported, is to start a crusad against high-toned gambling. The board of trade, it.

He used a Martin-Henry rifle. Th first test was at a piece of steel about one-eighth of an inch in thickness. The cartridge which the captain Intended to use were handed to the member of the press for safekeeping.

The first ot these was fired at the steel plate and the result wa a jagged hole. "Shall I fire at the plate or the lady this time?" asked Captain Menard, and there was a chorus of "At the plate." Again the bullet plowed its way through the steel. Those present refused second time to ask the young1 lady, who was Menard's sister, to -pose as a mark, but the captain told her to step forward and she did so without hesitation, Bis sister held a pack of white cards in front of her body and Maoard fired.

A Chisago Chin Merchant Predict One Thr Shortly. Chicago, Sept 29. Speaking of the report of the rebellion of the troops in China, Sam Moy, the local mandarin, said: "It means the beginning of the end. We Chinamen wish to see China win, but more than that we wish our own emperor back in place of the usurper who now reigns over ui. For years the 'Gee-Hina' have been growing in power and today they have generals and officer in command of th army.

Tbe sole object of the 'Gee-Hing' society is te overthrow the present emperor and restore the old dynasty. It is a se cret tocltty with millions of members in China and 8,000 la California. The emperor has offered $1,000 reward for tbe bead of every 'Gee but there Is not enoutrh money in the treasure to pay for the head.

There are some mesmerists in this town, but of course they carry mesmerism as a side line." Some of them are in the real estate business, others trad horses occasionally, while some sell lightning rods and fruit trees, and frequently a "mesmerist" slips into the clothing business, Sad he has fun." An man. Mr. Will Biteesy, is an obedient aad docile husband. He had' listened to the advice of his wife, who is "competent manager," and decided that he ought to buy a new suit," so accordingly he went downtown, dropped a store, and was soon inside a neat looking suit, and as the salesman looked him in the eye Mr. heard such remarks as these: "All wool," splendid fit," etc.
