"By thoterim of the act the original pack-
ape , vhen It ai-rhes within tlio state whcro

r.ink of domestic liquor , enjoys no privileges
not enjoyed by iiomcstlo liquor * and is
subject to the operation nnd effect
of the laws of such state enacted
In tbo oxu-ciseof Its police powers lo the

"Now there never was any question that

'WASHINGTON' , 0. UM Oct. ill. )
The republican coupregional cominlttco lias
Issued the following ftddross :
The republican congressional comtnlttoo ilc-
slrus to say n word or two to tlio people , tuid
inofu especially to those who bcltovo goner-
nlly In republican principles , concerning the
elections for members of tlio Fitly-second
congress , which will occur next Tuesday.
This tins been mi extraordinary campaign.
When it began the democratic loaders were
overflowing with conllclcri'p. They hoiutc < l
Hint their majority would bo nt least
100. This contldonco did not rest on nlto-
BClher lliinsy ground. There were twenty-
six districts In the south in which the re
publican party lud a clear majority of. from
one to ten thousand , but over the electoral
machinery of which the democracy hold absolute -
solute control. From each of those districts
the democratic managers expected to return
democratic congressmen by a process which
ciin only bo properly described as a down
right steal. Uccont gerrymanders In Ohio ,
Kentucky , Tennessee , Maryland nnd Indiatia
were relied upon as a second source of illicit
Ruin , in those states the boundary lines of
nineteen districts had been so altered as to
wtpe out republican majorities nnd to
create democratic majorities In their stead.
Thus iron ) tiirty-flvo districts properly repub
lican our opponents calculated to extract by
theft mul sharp practice forty-llvo democratic
representatives. Their scherno ren-lered.vot-
ing superllnoiis and the popular will im
potent. These were the chief features of
their campaign. Supplementary to them ,
however , was another not loss Infamous. It
was n urand conspiracy to raise the values of
ml the necessaries of life nnd to charge that
inlliitlon to the new republican tariff bill. In
order to enjoy the spoils of ofllco they under
took to create u condition of tlio mnrlcet
whereby the people would bo shamelessly
swindled out of hundreds of thousands of
dollars. This conspiracy nas failed and Its
failure has doomed the domocratio party to
defeat in next Tuesday's elections. The
manufacturers and merchants of America
were too wise and too honest for tlio sake of
temporary gains to allow themselves to servo
as tlio tool of the democratic party In indict
ing upon tlio people such a colossal outrage.
It is the reaction against this conspiracy that
has confirmed to the republican party its
title to public confidence. Tlio people liavo
found that the democracy , through
its various agents on the stump
and hi the public press , was lying to them
about the now tariff bill , its provisions and
Its effects , nnd they have been studying the
bill for themselves. They hnv.o found that
the principles which governed its construe
tlonaro tlioso and only these to which the
country is indebted for the unparalleled pros
perity It lias boon enjoying since the war.
They have found that the now law
extends these principles to Industries
to which they have not hereto
fore applied , -withdrawing from the
dutiable list practically everything that wo
cannot largely produce with our own re
sources. The people have discovered
that tht new law Is not going to
cause a rise of prices or any business
disturbance and they perceive that It is
goinir to create larger and bettor markets for
our farmers , to build up many now indus
tries , to give employment to thousands of
workmen now idle or insufJlclently occupied
and to iiiahitain the present nigh rate of
American wanes.Vo urge the people to
consider carefully the sipnlllcaneo of n veto
next Tuesday in" favor of a democratic candidate
didato for congress. Above everything else
itvill mean that tlio man who casts it wishes
another season of tariff legislation , another
potlod of commercial unrest and ihiancia'
uu.\icty. It will moan that the men who
cast it Jiihtillcs the theft of twenty-
six republican seats by the democratic
malingers in the south. It will moan that ho
improves a party whoso representatives at
tempt to exercise , by absenting themselves
from thcirseats by refusing to perform their
duty , more power In legislation than they
would be able to exercise by remaining in
their seats and performing- their duty. It t
will menu that he approves of which it is possible
siblo fora minority in congress to block al 1
legislation and to prevent the transaction of
any other business than that particular busi
ness they desire. These nro the main Issues
to bo decided by the votes that are cast t
throughout the United States next Tues
day. No republican , as ho values
his principles , ns no hopes for the
welfare of his country should neglect the
duty of voting. If that duty Is properly per
formed the boasted dcinoer.itlo majority of
one hundred will dwindle into a fcctilo and
incompetent majority. The republicans can
have the next house If they will take it.
They have only to go to the polls and voto.
The penalty of carelessness and Indifference
will bo a heavy one. The reward of vigilance
and action will be a prosperity surpassing
ovea that which has long been and Is still the
wonder , the admiration and envy of the civil
ized world.

city express the utmost faith la the out
come of the contest which will bo oot-
tied next Tuesday , Reports from every
state mi ) extremely encouraging and it is
believed that there will bo u grout many SUP
prises when the votes nro counted. Tlio sur
prises nro expected to bo in the nature of re .
publican gnlus where least expected , Th
republican leaders hero have never ut air
time believed that it would bo possible to
keep every district now represented by a re
publican , out there nro twenty or thirty dis
tricts whore the democrats won by n very Y
narrow margin in 1SS8 which , It Is thought
will send republicans to the next con
press. Not a single district whore
there was any chance of success has been
neglected , and it Is moro than probable tha
the gains in congressional "Reals will coino
fully up to tlio losses which may ho sus- .
tnlned. Thedomocra-js worked the MulClii- -
loy bill for nil It is worth , but they begun toe
early and were unable to keep up the scan
which they inaugurated with some show ol
success. The reaction has sot m and from
every section of the country reports como t
the effect that tlio people bnvo learned foi
themselves that tlio good features of the bill
moro than overbalanced the objectlonabli
sections , This is especially true where tin
agricultural element is strongest , for if there
is ono class morn beiiellttod by the changes
In the tariff schedules than another it Is th
class which till the boil.

The prohibition crowd In Nebraska are
still keeping up n vigorous light against the
authenticity of tlio census lu Omahii , but
with their customary methods nil tno letters
which they semi her < j are signed by assumed
iiiunes and consequently receive no attention
at the hands ot { Superintendent I'ortcr nnd
his assistants , in all the controversy , which :
lias involved an enormous amount of cor-
respondmico , the only two men who have
used their ou'ii nniuos are Hnymond of Coun
cil IllutTs and the secretary of the
state iirohlbitlon committee. The
prohibit Ion lits are evidently working
to try to counteract the effect of
tlio ceiwis returns of tlio Male of Kansas ,
which show conclusively that if them Is
nny ono species of legislation which will do-
ixjuuUUc u prosperous state It is the fanatical
Idea of trying to force morality upon un

prohibition brings mlwitkm lo the business
of nny commuhliy upon which it Is thrust

Ing to belittle tnclr own fctate so that it may
not show up well lu comparison with the

.At.nvNv , N. Y. , Oct. ! U. The Argus will
print tomorrow a lengthy Interview with cx-
I'resldent Cleveland on the political situation.
In it Cleveland says in part : "I am sure
there never was a public question discussed
moro thoroughly r.iul moro intelligently thun
the subject of tariff reform by democratic
advocates. This may perhaps suggest that
it the democratic position on this Issue Is n
correct ono there should bo immediate ready
acquiescence on the part of the peoplo. Hut
the judgment of our countrymen lias been so
trammeled and their perceptions so clouded
by prejudice uud appeals to self-interest that
their apprehension of the true province of
our government has been distorted and they
have for years boon led to bellcvo that the
conduct of public affairs might properly
minister to their prollt , not by securing gen
eral prosperity founded on principle , but by
giving direct advantage to certain classes.
It Is certainly true that'In such selllsh opera
tion the Interests of some of the people must
bo neglected. Protests on the part ol those
have been stifled by Iho most arrant decep
tion und cajolery. At last , however , tho-io
neglected ones nro aroused , and In spllo of
the clouds of misrepresentation and deinstall
which surround them they begin to see light.
Our agriculturists and others whoso Interests
have been uisreganled whllo lulvnntageshave
boon accorded to a favored few nro not to bo
much longer deceived. I.am confident that
wo shall secure a majority in tlie next house
or representatives. 1 cannot forgot how la
boriously a reform moves which must break
through selfish interests strongly intrenched
and unscrupulous. ! } ' awrted , tind overcome
abuses long suffered nil'l arrogantly main

TERRIBLE COLLISION AT SEA ,
The Spanish Stennw Viziyn Run lutD by
the Schoouor Ooraolius Hargravos.
EIGHTY PEOPLE BELIEVED TO BE LOST.
Tlie Onptnln of Iho Slciunor Instantly
Killed Only n Few of tlio
1'nnscimeis nnd Crew
Hcsoucd.
Niw : VOIIK , Oct.01. . The report was
brought In by the sleamcr Huniboldt , which
arrived loday from Hrazll , that the Sp.udsh
slcainX.'Vlznyn , which sailed from here yes
terday , vhen off Haniogat , was run Into by
nn unknown schoono * and the caplalu and all
the pr.s cngciM were lo-il. Ilolhvouels sank.
The fate of the nrow of the scliooner Is un
known. The chief officer , second olllcer , sin--
geon , ono engineer and eight of the crow of
the steamer were picked up.
So fur us known these are tlio only per 'Oils
out of tlio crow unit passenger list of eighty-
six of the Vlznyn nnd the crow of the un
known schooner that have been saved. It Is
feared that all the others were lost
and that the list will n umber
up to eighty If not still more.
Details are ino.igro. The Vl/ayn left Now
York yesterday afternoon for Ilnvatm with
nine regular p.issengerci and a crow of ninety-
seven. It is thought llioro were some
others on board not on the list , At
Imlf p.ist 8 Thursday evening si
largo four-masted schooner liovo In sight
and immediately bore down on this
steamer , striidng on the starboard breakers ,
carrying away the bridge and cabin. The
captain was instantly killed. Seven minutes
later both vessels had sunk , and the pimacn-
g < srs and crows were struggling in the water.
The steamer was n staunch vessel , and Cap
tain Cunnell was ono of the most trusted em
ployes of the line.
Ono of the passengers not on the regular
list was * Juan I'edro , a Cuban millinairound
a director in the stcamshit ) line. The othei
passengers on boaul us far n ? learned were :
Al. A. Calve , wife , son and ninld ; Mr. I'urr
and thrco children , A. Hu.lo ! < e Aeaba ,
Humoa Alvare/ . Juan F. ifedin.in , Oscar
Iblnur , Luigi Pcllion and .lose Fun-la.
Surgeon Kico sciys that at the tlmo of the
'
collision ho was In'tho cabin talking lo Mrs.
Calvo. Suddenly there came an awful shock
and the steamer rolled well over on the port
-side. Kvcryboily in thu cabin was thrown
down and linmediatclv nsccnoof the wildest
'onfusion ' ensued. .Slia. Calve begged me
o save her son , nud 1 wont
ip on deck to llml him. There n terrible
ceno met my eyes. Tlio bridge , deckhouse
mil fore-rigging were all torn away. There
was a great gash in the starboard side just
iloft tlio coal bunkers ami through Ibis
valor was rushing. Uloso bv on the star-
) oard beam win u four-masted schooner with
icr bowsprit and fo-o ; ringing gene and hoc
joams stove In. Alen were running nbout
ivildly on our docks , shoulingall Hinds of or-
lers.'and I eau remember eclng tlio crew of
ho schooner doing the saino on their vessel.
The next thing I know tlio water was wash-
'ng over our decks. With n wild
dea of saving ourselves several of us
clambered up tlio port fore rigging. Down
went the steamer and tip wo climbed. Wo
reached the feu-clop gallant yard , and jusl
then the hull reached the bottom. This loft
is Just above Iho surface of Hie walcr , bill
each swell dusticd ever our limbs. Twelve
survivors were there. Some of our
crew tried to reach the scliooner , hut slid
went to tlio bo'toin almost as quick as the
Vl/ayn , and n'o could H O that them was not ,
u sail in sight. Onu of tlio men in Iho yard
said that while climbing the rigging he hud
liad seen a boat lowered from the schooner
ind seven men got in and row nway ,
but ho could not see anything
of It , although it was n bright moon
light night. Then , In the hope of attracting
mention , wo cut tarred ropes on the yard
and lighting them swung them In the air ,
but in vain. All through the long night wo
clung to that vat d , growing- colder nnd stiffcr
each hour. Toward daybrcnk one of the men
'
thougtil ho heard iistcu'iuor parsing and we
all shouted us loud as wo could. Then n
boat made Its appearance and wo were
taken ou board the Ilumboldt. Wo could not
have lusted much longer. "
The collision is inexplicable in view of the
statement of Dr. Uico that the night was a
bright , moonlight nuo nnd the son smooth.
A dispatch was received from Lewes , Del. ,
tonight saying that the tug Hercules arrived
there thla evening and reports that the
scliooner wns thol'ornollus Hargraves , and
seven from the VUiiya were picked up by
the schooner Sarah L. Davis and transferred
to the Hercules. The latter proceeded for
tlio wreck to render assistance , but nt mid
night met thu tug Duller , which had been to
the scene und found the vessels sunk and nil
hands gono. They picked up the body of a
woman. The survivors report that nearly
ono hundred people were clinging ta ttio
wreck nt one time. The schooner Hargraves
cleared from Lowes October 27 with coal for
Full Hlver , Mass.
Mr. Ccbullos said , tonight , that ho had
provided the survivors with every comfort.
They are very weak from exposure . Cobnl-
los sent a representative to Ilarncgat to do
everything possible to recover the bodies of
these lost.

Munroo tolls tlie followliujMtory of iho wreck :
"It was about S o'clock on Tuesday nleht
when we struck. The nlcht was dark and
stormy. I knew that we were in dangerous
watcr-i and consulted the chart. There" no
mention of tlio shoal wo were
riven upon near Jones' inlet. I took the

Micro was a crash , followed by a shock
vt ' "h thre.v u < all oil our pins , and the brig
vas stuck in Iho sand. We were going along
inter full sail , and you can imagine Uio force
f the -shock to the vessel when she r.in onto

ml the next minute both limits snapped and
vent over the side. I told the crew to get
he yawl ready , but 1 determined to remain
board until iho last minute. 1 had
11 thu old sails brought on ilcek ,
loured kerosene over them and set them
lire. It iniule a Hiiro like n house ullro.
I'lnit wiisour signal of distress , and it was

id so and that effort saved us. Tlio w.itor
