No higher compliment could, have
been naid to the vounir republicans of
I w
Cass county than the nomination of M. D.
Polk, for state senator, and every young
republican who will this fall cast his
a
liret should and no doubt will appreciate
this compliment and heartily support
their young friend.
N. M. Satchell, one of the nominees
for representative, can point with priic
to his record of the last session of the
legislature. No man speaking from the
record can say aught agiinst hi:n. He
is an intelligent wideawake farmer, a
good financier and well worthy th-3 con
fidence reposed in him by his neighbors
and frien Is. Mr. Satchell will succeed
himself without a doubt.
Edwin Jeary, the west end can
didate for the I louse of representatives ,
ought to receive the hearty and earnest
support of all republicans. When Speak
er Harlan was making up and appointing
chairmen ot various committees he ap
pointed Mr. Jeary chairman of the com
mittee of enrolled and engrossed bills,
one of the most important committees of
the house and one that required contin
ual care and skilland as a caiupliment
to Mr. Jeary the Chief Clerk of the
House has said more than once that he
was well pleased with Mr. Jeary's work
As in Mr. Satchell's case speaking from
the record no one can find fault with
him. lie was on the side of right and
justice and worked for the interest of all.
Mr. Jeary must ceitaiuly stand well in
the west as no democrat there seemed to
be willing to take the field against him.
The reduction from 47 to 42 per cent
in the Mills bill is said to be small. So
it is; but there was a small reduction in
the tariff in 1$3. Then the wool and
voolci goods schedule was reduced a
little. The little was just enough to let
in from England abont 1,. -.00,000 addi
tional pounds of manufactured wool last
year. That importation gave English
workmen just that much work that
CJuld have been done here. In Phila
delphia hundreds of men have been idle
that could have been busy. They would
then have been purchasers; now they
have nothing to purchase with. The
31ills bill takes off still more of the tariff
on wool and woolens. The result will
be, more men otit of employment, and
.English manufacturers corrospondently
Iiappy. If any iie doubts this condition
of things, he has only to go "to Phila
delphia and be convinced.
TO CL EVE-
state of New
Harlem river
southerly ex
stream the re
publicans have always been largely in the
majority, while south of it the democ
racy has been and is predominant. There
arc fifty-five counties north of the lino
and five south of it. One of these five--Suffolk
however is a republican county,
all hough it gave a small majority to
Cleveland in 1884. In 18 S3 and 1887 it
gave a majority to the republican candi
dates, amljneither democrats nor republi
cans doubt that it will bo carried by
Harrison this year. The other four
counties New York, Kings, Queens and
Rlchi.iond constitute what is known as
the metropolitan district. Tliu ia the
democratic stronghold of the state, ami
is the section implied when the term ' be
low the Harlem river" is mentioned
X'ew Y prk Citv nnd New York County
are coextensive, and llrockjyu fpnns al
most nil of Kings county. (Queens county
abuts against Kings, and Richmond ad
joins both Kings and New York.
In 1880 Garfield came down to the
Harlem river with 75.193 majority. This
overcame the democratic prepqnclerance
in the four metropolitan counties, ad
gaye the state to the republicans by
about 20,000 majority. Blaine's majority
above the Harlem was G1,G:)S, or nearly
14,000 less than Garfield's. The demo
ctatic inaiorjty in New York, King,
(Jueens aud Richmond counties, low
ever, was 62,833 which gave the state to
Cleveland by 1047. It is conceeded by
all intelligent, fair-minded democrats
that Cleveland is not so strong in the
metropolitan district as he was four yents
ago. A republican majority of G0.000
north of the Harlem this year would un
doubtedly pbco tlje state in the republi
can column. But nobody nt nil ijualiued
to judge imagines that the republican
m ijority in that region will be so low as
;0.000. A discreet and trusted corres
pondent of the democratic New York
Herein!, who l;a.a made a personal canvass
of the state, declares that the jepuLlh i"ifS
will have a majority of 70,000 above
High Bridge, which is ou the Harlem.
This would give Harrison a majority of
from 11,000 to 15,000 in theto. '.There
are the best of reasons for the belief,
though, that the majority in the republi
can section will be 10.000 at least in ex
cess of the Herald correspondent's
figures. Without the vote of New York
Cleveland can not win. Even though
he should carry Indiana, Connecticut and
X'ew Jersey in addition to the solid south,
he would be 18 votes short of the num
ber necessary to elect. Cleveland will be
overwhelmingly defeated if New York
goes against him, and even the most san
guine democrats now begin to concede
that New York will give its vote to
Ilanison.- Globe Democrat.
THE COlI DEN CLUB SPIT ERE.
Here is what a Committee of the Cob
don Club reported to the club after look
ing over the field in 18SS :
"Your Committee coutinues to afford
all tli2 assistance in their power to those
who arc laboring in the free trade cause
in foreign countries. In America in the
course of political events mere is great
promise The result of the
turniug of public attention in this direc
tion is seeu in the fact that revenuj
reform is becoming a leading question in
the Psesidential contest, aud is on the
winning side.
Years before, the Loudon- Times of
July 12, 1880, had declared :
'How Free Trade will come some day
in the United States must be left to the
Cobden Club and to its twelve Cabinet
ministers in their unofficial capacity to
decide It Ls to the New
World that the club is chiefly looking
is the most likely sphere for its vigorous
foreign policy. It has done what it (can
for Europe and is now turning its eyes
westward and bracing itself for the
struggle which is to come. So it will
g ou until reason has destroyed Protec-
oa in the great stronghold (United
S utes) in which it has enttenched itself.
. . . . We intend to break down
the protecting system in the United
States and to substitute the British sys-
t m. That doue, our victory is complete
ami final."
How much the Cobden Club is doing
the present campaign we do not know;
more than any one has any idea of. ex
cept those in the inner circle, we think.
Hnt of one fact we have no doubt : That
there is no more interested body of men
watching the eveuts of this election and
hoping for the election of the Free Trade
party. American workiugmen, do you
want to see this triumph of the British
Free Trade Club f Tariff League.

chattering crowds of Chinamen, each

eat comparatively little American food,
and the Chinese groceries, of which there
are thirty or forty, do a thriving trade,

and reaping, it is said, great store of
shekels from the pigtailers, who dole on
stuff of tho sort und pay fortunes to their
owu nostrum sellers for the style of medi
cines which were in vogue in Kuropa in
the middle ages. In every grocery hangs
three or foi puirs of antlers in the
velvet, and the powder obtained by
pounding a fragment of them in u mortar
with a sliver of Chinese ginseng root
makes a, dose which would, go, on a silver
quarter, costs anywhere from $-10 to .$75,
and is taken pnee a year by any ono who
can afford it with the firm conviction that
it has power to not only cure but ward
off possiblo disease during the coining
year.
The method of getting prescriptions is
simple but somewhat haphazard. A
Chinaman who feels that something is
seriously wrong inside goes to tho josa
house, sets up two incet-.so tticksi in the
incense t'urr.er, takes u small jar full of
narrow bamboo slips in Ids hand, bows
three times and begins to slowly shake
tho jar from side to side. In tho course
of a minute or two one of the slips worki
its way out from the others juid fails on
the floor. It has & u umber on it, and that
number corresponds to a prescript ion to
be found in a tattered and dingy "oracle
book" hanging on the wall. Tho patient
secures that prescript ion from his chemist,
and takes it with full faith in the Joss'
diagnosis nnd remedy. Nearly every man
Jack of these Chinamen that the society
people go down to gaze at curiously as
they clutter through tho tmirow streets
among the fatunds where salted peanuts
and Chinese cahbago and cucumbers are
sold, is a washerman.
There are 2,000 laundries in Xew York
aiono, you in your city ana yy;; in .Jersey
City, which is called" in the Confucius
"musquito land." Ivtch laundry has from
two to fivo men working in it, and most
of them make money, for tho Chinese
exclusion bill keeps away competition
and gives them a sort of laundry trust of
it. Ouo young woman, who has lately
been on an expedition of this sort, when
she acquired this piece of information
saw in it the explanation of u fact that

had gone into little rooms crowded to the
doors with Orientals, whore tho windows

Drill of the German Anny.
A new book of instructions for drill has
been issued to the German array, by which
there will be established the greater sim
plicity and lesser number of movements
which various military authorities,
notably Lord Wolseley, have favored for
several years. All evolutions not likely
to bo needed in battle are abolished.
This would have been done before had it
not been for the unwillingness cf tho old
kaiser to see swept away numerous detaila
w hich had accompanied tho progress of
