The first term tiP' tin of the school opens September 1st , ' 84. P' ' P'fi fi THERE seems to be no doubt what fia ever about the coming election. New a < York is sure to go for Elaine and also tlIi may be counted on for Cleveland. Indi IiPi ana is in the same fix. Ohio belongs Piai in the same category. Likewise New ai Jersey. About the only doubtful states tlVI -now left are Nebraska and Iowa , which VI have not been claimed by both sides ra and are not therefore liable to go both aiw ' ways. This is all very absurd , this w tli claiming everything when you don't know anything about it ; but really now Itgccmsas though 'our fellows" had lo lobe the right of it , doesn't it ? be THE York County papers are now working another "lead. " That other wild goose chase has been abandoned. This time George B. France of York is the man , and the place it is desired he shall fill is that now occupied by "Our Jeems. " "Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this suon of York. " Maybe ! MR. BLAINE was nominated on the sixth day of the month , there are six letters in his name , he has had six child ren , he has filled six different public positions , he was six years old when he first went to school , he can run six miles in an hour , his letter of acceptance is six columns long and he is six feet tall. Six times six arc thirty-six. To people who do not understand this item it will appear exaggerated or absurd , or both , but those who have read the letters of the mathematical idiots to the newspap ers , showing how much "six' ' has had to do with Mr. Elaine , will probably fall into hilarious convulsions at about this point. THE cause of the decline of man's life as to duration has been accounted for at last. This shortness of life , which has occured since the Noachin deluge , has been caused by a change in the oxygen in the air , and its contin ued corruption by the decay of vegeta bles and animal matter. Before that time it is thought that the common life of man was a thousand years. This is in fact , as a writer says , the history- tradition of the Chaldeans , Phoenicians , Egyptians , Greeks and Bramins. The air was purer and dryer in the antede- luvian ages than it is now , and the people ple lived more simply. They were less energetic and full of business than the people of these days , who are on the go from the cradle in search of wealth , office , position , social distinction.- Dys pepsia was unknown in those days so far aswe remember. They were more temperate in their drink as well as their work. The change is not a good one , but results from the fact that man , with his sinfulness , was liable to run into error , both as to their diet and their conduct. GEN. LOGAN'S letter is judicious and matter-of-fact. It is in - - a sense supple mentary of Blaine's. It is evidence that the General understands the issues of the day well , and that he has the cour age of his convictions. Protection to our industries and our Itiboring people claims the larger share of his attention. He believes in making everything bend to the betterment of this country. The way he declares for a foreign .policy show ? that he hopes to sec the govern ment a little firmer in demanding our rights among nations. He believes in a sloscr commercial-political relationship ivith the nations of the new world. He regards it better that our navy should be increased in numbers and strength , but also prefers to see disputes between nations settled by arbitration. The jrcneral deprecates the part taken by some of the south in making that sec- ) Lion solid. The letter has met with a jordial reception by the party and with ; ess hostile criticism from the dcmo- jrats than was expected. His letter is credit to himself and the party he ; cprescnts. Gazette-Journal. ) DURING the last decade , say an cx- ihange , the world has seen that the an- sient seats of Ghengis Khan and Ti- nour , had become Eussian outposts , s hat Khiva , Khokand and Merve had alien in succession , but the tender scn- ; ibilitics of England were quieted with he announcement that the Cossack t ] iders intended to rest on their laurels ti .mid the green pastures of the Merve. his statement has not more than done a ts work until the tidings come that lussiahas made a new acquisition on he great highway from the Caspian to > he valley of the Midas. A railroad is n icing rapidly pushed southward , has f ( cached Askabcd one hundred and fifty tl niles south of the Caspian , and now the . own of Saraks , two hundred and fifty . w ailes further south , which guards the TT i.iss into Afghanistan , has been secured „ rom Persia. The sinificance of the cquisition lies in the fact that it brings j , lie Eussian advance a step nearer to ndia , the new military route to which ol asses by Saraks , Herat and Candahar , nd is the road followed by Alexander IT ta Great , Nadir Shah , and all the in- hi asions.

ELAINE'S letter of acceptance is in happy accord with the views of the republican party , especially as it indi cates the line of battle for the coming campaignv His letter devotes much space to the discussion of the tariff. In this it is a text book of political economy in itself. It reviews the his tory of our country under free trade and protective systems and is convinc ing in its claims for a greater degree of prosperity for all classes of our commu nity under a system of protection than they experienced under a system which the democratic party would impose on the country. Mr. Blaine justly holds , in , devoting so much attention to this question , that nothing can'be o'f more importance to us than the decision be tween free-trade and protection. It involves the direct interest of every farmer and wage-worker among us hence the welfare of the entire country. Ecpublicans should not permit the dis cussion of the tariff to be relegated to the rear. Nothing so vital and perma nent as this question can be made a test of party and national loyalty , and the democrats who now seek to evade dis cussion of the tariff by formulating a platform which is all things to all men should be held to a strict accountability for their course during the last session of Congress , in which the free trade tendency of the party was plainly out lined. This was determined on as an issue by the republican party loiig be fore there was a certainty of Mr. Blaine's nomination in fact it was brought about as much by attempted democratic legislation as it was by re publican desire ; and now the intention of the democratic party to evade the question or to suppress it under the ambiguous 017 for ' 'reform" should be met with a vigorous battle all along the line. Now is the time to determine whether or not we shall place ourselves in competition with the cheap labor of Europe. Now is the time to determine whether or not we shall protect the in dustries which have grown up with and become so great a part of our national wealth. And above everything now is the time to determine once and for all time whether the artisans , the farmers and the laborers whom we have invited to this country under a tacit promise of protection and prosperity shall be hon orably dealt with , or permitted1 to reach that point of poverty and degradation to escape which they left their native shores and made our country their adopted home. Republican. AT Hyde Park has been held one of those great popular demonstrations that occur whenever political excite ment about any particular measure culminates in England , and there was an immense procession and an equally immense crowd of spectators , to give expression to the sentiment of the trades unions in favor of Mr. Gladstone's Franchise bill that the peers propose to sit upon. One of the notable features jf the demonstration was the carrying f a banner on which a tombstone was ; lepictcd , on which was inscribed , "To he Memory of the House of Lords , 1884. " This was , of course , to empha size the warning of Mr. Gladstone that he continued obstinacy of the upper , ' louse in its opposition to the wishes f the people of England might result n its obliteration from the national egislature. Nothing will be more natu- > al than the substitution of an elective cnatc in England for the old relic of icreditary lawmakers that is so much ii anachronism in a free government. [ Flic house of lords will have to make heir choice pretty soon , probably be- wccn voluntary subsidence as an indc- iciidcnt body with views of its own and bolition by the people. Journal. THE TRIBUNE is most heartily in ; ympathy with the sentiment expressed y the Gazette-Journal against calum- iy and vituperation which has hereto- ore been such a prominent feature in he politics of this country from na- ional politics down to the humbler in It t Itax ralks of political life in our state , dis- ax rict , county and precinct affairs. The huaha Eepublican stoops from its us- 1 al manly course to style Cleveland the hangman candidate. " Because Grover Jleveland , while in the discharge of his fficial duty as sheriff , hanged a couple f murderous villains , does not warrant ny reputable journal in denominating im as the "hangman candidate. " It is n manly and unmerited even though ic individual so outraged be the demo- ratic candidate for President of these fnitcd States. Blaine and Logan can elected under nobler auspices. Mr. PETROLEUM V. NASBY says the problem for dimocricy to solve is aw to set rid uv itself. : > D THE empress of India has an inter esting law suit against Murli Dass , a pious Brahmin who presides in the Punjaub over a temple dedicated to Gfenessa , the son of Shiva , the god of wisdom. Next to the enclosure of the temple is a government granary where the taxes in kind are stored for the use and benefit of Victoria , the empress aforesaid. When the periodical inspec tion of this granary was made there appeared to be two tons of barley short. Investigation at length demonstrated that there was a crack in the walls of the bin , abutting ou the court of the temple of Genessa , and that the barley was constantly trickling through it to the ground below. But some one had evidently taken the escaping grain away , and there was but a tiny heap of it on the ground to show for all the leakage. Murli Dass was arrested and given five or six minutes to explain. He said that once upon a time when provisions ran low in the temple and the skin of his stomach clave to his back bone , he prayed to the god who is symbolized as a sacred rat for as sistance. Soon after , while walking about the gardens in meditation he found a little heap of barley in a cor ner. Thinking that the god in his capacity of rathood had 'brought him this succor , he took it thankfully and ate and gave unto his friends and sold it for the good of the cause. Every day the divine rat replenished the heap and he had enjoyed a season of good cheer that had confirmed him in the faith and'lengthened the prayers that he sent up to Genessa. He said he did not know that there was a granary in the neighborhood and consequently was innocent of the fact of crack in the wall. But the tale of Murli Dass was consider ed thin , and he is now in durance vile. JUDGE TOURGEEthas this to say of our candidate for the vice presidency : "It is seriously urged as an objection against General Logan that he has been known in the haste of epistolary com position to misspell a word. We do not know whether or not it is true , and we do not care. He has always been able to spell Duty , and to spell it promptly too. He may not always spell English correctly , but he thinks and speaks American with surprising force and vigor , and has a knowledge of men , events and policies which makes him fully tl\e \ equal of the most stilted or thographic dude that ever exhausted his intellect in locating a double l c'l.
