TlIE apple has played au important
part in the woild's history. It was an
apple which tempted Mother Eve , and
it was an apple which led to the Trojan
war. An apple was shot by William Tell
off his sou's head , and it was a green
apple which knocked out Bandanna
Thurman , the other night.
The government crop report for Au
gust , issued Monday , is more encour
aging for a big corn crop , but not so en
couraging for wheat. An improvement
is noted for corn , but the wheat average ,
especially of spring wheat , has decreased.
The reported change , however , was not :
enough to cause mucli change in specu- :
lative pi ices for the cereal , the only ef- :
feet being to strengthen the market.
TnE first full cargo of southern pig (
iron shipped to the north left Savannah j
a few days ago for Philadelphia. The
cargo consisted of over two thousand '
tons and will be used in making rails
ind machinery. It has finally come to '
pass that the great iron state can buy
iron cheaper in the mines of the south
Lhan at home. The trade is likely to J
ievelope and become an important in- J
dustiy for the south. Bringing iron in- J
; o Pennsylvania sounds like carving i
; oals to Newcastle.
Once more Mr. Cleveland has per-
' ormed the great ehameleon act , leaping ' ,
ibout on the tariff question with all the ,
tgility and ease with which that little
Ltiimal changes his appearance. Thec
3uffalo statesman is the great hand
ipring artist of the federal government.
Ur. Cleveland's letter of acceptance and
sxplanation is out. He stands by his free .
rade message , but explains that its sug- , '
; estions were made for the purpose of n
norc efficiently protecting the American a
aborer and American maufacturer. °

Mr. Thurman is like the school boy • l
irho said that a lie well told and well n
tuck to was as good as the truth. His a
ssertion of Saturday that the duty is a
Iways added to the cost of an article , w
0 the consumer , is such a plain viola- J
ion of the truth that it is a wonder he *
ersists in uttering it. This is not a S
uestion which depends upon argument , "
ut one which is settled by scores of ex- °
mples , and an examination of the tar- * (
T sheets and the relative price of goods °
i England and the United States will w
atisfy any man Mr. Thurman is wrong.
Eight years ago , Garfield had a plu- "
llity , in Maine , of 8,868 ; in 1884 , P
tlaine had a plurality of 20,060 ; * ?
1 1880 , Governor Bodwell had a plu-
ility of 12,850. The Republican ma- pI
irity at the election , Monday , is double h *
tat given to Garfield , one-half greater nJ
lan that given in 1SSG , and is neailyl'1 ' '
s large as that < ; iven to the most pop- lc
lar man in Mainefour\ears ago. The P1
umocrats made a hard fight , this year , r
l Maine , and the returns show that as Ul
gainst an aroused republican sentin . '
lent democratic and " (
, scheming misrep-
; sentation count as nothing. There is ; v
l every part of the state a noticeable
iin for the republicans and as noticea-
lea falling off in the third naity vote , f
le
Tun New York Times does w t mince ki
latters in speaking of "the Thurman a (
leeting ' ' in that city. The unseemly m
lectacle of the old man dragged from P' '
is bed when he could " scarcely stand l5
lone , and so ill that he fainted before " '
e could speak an audible word in the " '
resencc of the thousands assembled to -
ear him , was shocking enough , but , sa
le Times says , "it was more unfortun- " (
te that the committee of arrangements sc
lould have included in the list of speak-
• s the names of Governor Bill and
enator Blackburn , one of whom a polotli
ised for the administration as having , pc
i the whole , done very well , while the tr
Jier had the vulgarity to attack the wi
resident upon one of the features of ag
Is public policy that has strongly comIk
ended him to the country. " co

j A report of the im ctia ! cnntzran
commissioner of Germany fur l.S.s ? h • •
recently been transmitted to the state
department and gives reliable infoinia-
tion legarding the movement i f Ger
mans tu America. Hamburg , Bremen
audStellin are the three principal ports
from whitdi statistics have been .col
lected , and the report states that the
number of German emigrants for 1SST
was again on the increase as compared
with the previous year. It has been
regularly observed that , except in 1870
71 , when emigration was greatly stim
ulated owinj : to the Eranco Piussiau
war , the number would increase for a
period of years and then decrease againt
for some time. In 1872 German emi
gration reached the remarkable figure ,
154.284 In 1S77 the number fell to
41,824. Since the year 18S0 the num
ber has not fallen below 150,000. The
years 1881 , 1882 , and 183 mark the
maximum when the emigration aver
aged over 225.000 for each year. It fell
again during the next three years. For
1887 the number was 172,452. There
is no doubt that emigration will be stim
ulated during the nrcscnt year owing to
equal the 1881-82 rate , when the high
price of food brought the unusually
large number of 547,000 Germans to
our shores.
Physical beauty lias never , since the
days of Greece and Homeenjoyed its
pro } er exaltation ; and it was once quite
the proper thing for moralists and clerg ) -
men to decry all delight in beauty of
person as unbecoming to a thoughtful
and Christian people , and this kind of
mistaken moial scourging gradually led
to neglect of personal habits conductive
to perfect physical development and
beautyuntil about a score of years ago
it became almost impossible to find a
perfectly well man or woman. But of
late years a healthier sentiment has been
gaining ground , as a natural reaction ,
and schools for physical culture , gym
nasiums , swimming baths , fencing les
sons , etc. , have materially improved the
the physical conditions of young men and
women ; while this growing interest in
physical development and beauty is
gradually working a change for the bet
ter in the moral conditions of the peo-1
pie , or a perfectly healthy man or full
of vital strength , and blessed with na
tural appetites , desires , and passions ,
is far loss apt to be a sensualist or crim
inal than one whose physical condition
is depraved , and whose appetites are
therefore vicious and degraded.
Mr. Cleveland may have a libel
suit to answer for as a result of his re-
Sections in a pension case General
Browne , of Indiana , will try to intrc-
luce a petition in the housp , this week ,
praying for the power to sue the presi-
lent for libel. He is championing the
jause of Mary Ann Dougherty , whose -
tension bill the president vetoed on the
ground that she was a disreputable ehar-
icter , having been arrested seventeen
, itnes. A thorough investigation has
leen made of the Indianapolis police
: ourt records , where the anests are said
, o have taken place , and only one in-
itance , and that twenty years ago , can
ie found where a Mary Ann Dougherty
lad been arrested. Of course a demo-
: ratic house will not entertain the prop-
isition of General Browne.
Because there is no possibility that
he pernicious Mills bill can become a
aw this year , the impression should not
ie allowed to prevail that it is safe in
ny way to trust the democracy. The
of the Mills bill should per-
istently oppose democratic candidates
his fall , for should that party secure a
lajority in both branches in congress
nd retain President Cleveland , there is
bsolutely no doubt that this country
• ould as soon as possible be plunged in-
3 the chaos of free trade legislation.
Vhilc it is a cause for genuine con-
ratulation among manufacturers , and
lieir employes dependent for prosperity w
n the American system. let them not
jrget that eternal vigilance is the price
f protection as well as other blessings
rorth having. *

While we believe in the state having
jll control of the liquor trafficand sup-
ressing it , if so declared by the major-
y vote of the people , and while we be- 1
eve that the question of prohibition j
lould be submitted to the voters in an ) ' |
; ate , when the public sentiment de3
lands such submission , we do not be-11
eve in the organization of a third party |
come into the national strife for su-
reniacy upon this issue. For many
sasons it is impolitic , unreasonableand
tijust ; the very climax of ingratitude ,
5t excused by any action of the repub-
can party , or by any word , or lack of
ords in its recent platform.
