GROGANS 2d EDITION. IN EIGHT MORE DAYS. Ante-Election Gossip From Different Cities, CONFIDENCE OF CHAIRMAN CARTER. Mr. Magee Goes Again to Ala bama. CHAIRMAN CARTER’S CONFIDENCE. He Gives the Reasons Why He Thinks Har- risen Will Win. i Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. | New York, Oct. $1.-—Chairman Carter enters upon the closing week of the campaign ‘ith Great confidence, He and all of the members | of the committee are delighted with the show- | ing made by the registration, both in New York city and throughout the state of New York, and | ‘expresses himuelf confident as to the result of | the election | “Lhave bad no doubt,” said he, “since the | democratic ticket was placed ia the field and | the democratic platform adopted of the com-| plete triumph of President Harrison and the | policies of the republican party. Every serious voter is today confronted with the question: ‘Why should I vote for a change? And if a change ia desirable in any event, ie such « change as Mr. Cleveland and his party proposes the Tiebt thing for me to vowe for Tn anewer- | ing the first question the citizen must reflect the fact that never before in the history the nation have its affairx ‘und the private | concerns of the people been so widely and | highly prosperous. Business was never before so great in volume or so varied in character. Money was never before so largely invested in | juctive enterprises. Labor was never be- fore so fully or so remuneratively occupied. OENERAL PROSPERITY OF THE COUNTRY. “It is eubstantially true to say that uowhere in the United States cane skilled workman be found idle, Wages have never been #0 gener- ally high end never before has the purchasing wer of a dollar been so great. The man «ho lentes these things denies blindly. His declara- | tions run counter to almost every man’s p sonal experience. The reports of the census office show a marvelous increase in all lines of production and in the rate of wages, paid em- ployes in every state in the Union without « Solitary exception. “The report of Commissioner Peck, the democratic chief of the bureau of iabor statis- tics of the state of New York, showing the in- | crease in wages of more than $6,000,000 for the year 1891 over the year 1890 canbe substantially | duplicated everywhere. The report of the | democratic superintendent of banks and bank- ing for the state of New York, showing an in- crease of deposits in the savings banks of the state for 1891 over 1890 of €3,000,000, is being rapidly followed by similar reports from ali Other such officials’ The report of the Senate| committee on prices, sigued by both the repub- | lcan and democratic members unanimously, | sbowing notable reductions in the retail price | of all classes of manufactured goods, tallies with the experiences of householders. ' These | are incontestible facts. We eay that they are directly attributable to the operations of re- | publican policies. Democrats may deny this, while admitting the facts, but if the; it they must at least admit that this splendi condition of industry and trade is, at all events, | consistent with the operations of republican | policies, Then why change? GOOD RESULTS OF THE M'KINLEY BILL. “The McKinley bill has belied every demo- cratic prediction, Mr. Carlisle in the Senate and Mr. Mills in the House declared that it would increase the taxation, but the revenues have been reduced over $60,000,000. They said it would decrease the foreii specially decrease exports. It | the foreign trade over $200,000,000 a year, and especially increased the exports. They said that reciprocity would be a failure; that no na- tion would make treaties with us, but reci | procity has been put into practical’ effect with Ertcen different vations, increasing our exports r cent, in the sum of €30,000,000, or about 22 |at the same time giving us untaxi coffee, molaeses and hides, price of sugar from 8 to 5 centsa pound. They said that it would fail to establish the tin plaie jindustry, but we have already manufactured pounds have been black plate, mined and rolled | and manufactured inthe United States. Forty- twocompanies are now actually engaged in pro- ducing American tin plate and before the second year of thisindustry is completed two-thirds,and | probably three-fourths, of the entire consump- | tion of this country will be produced here. In | a word, the lie has been given to every demo- dere goeemic as to the result of the McKin- ley bi | THE DEMOCRATIC TARIFF PLANK. “How any man in his senses can wish a change | of policy when these are the results of the policy that has been pursued is more than I can un- derstand. But if such a change is desirable from any one’s point of view he must then pro- | ceed to inquire whether the change that the | democratic party proposes is the one to be | adopted. The democrats in their platform, by a vote of 526 to 342, rejected the tariff plan on which Mr. Cleveland was elected in 1884 and | adopted instead a plank declaring all duties levied to protect all American wages unconsti- | tutional. “The democratic plank of 1884 was a straddle. It said that duties should be levied for purposes of revenue only, but then said | that the democratic policy did not intend harm to the established industries, but aimed rather to promote their healthy growth. It acknowl- edged that there was a great difference between the wages paid here and the wages paid abroad | and said that it was wise to make up in tariff the amount of that difference. This meant | protection if it meant anything, and on that lank Mr. Cleveland obtained office. ‘That Flank was’ rejected in 1898 for the very pur- , a8 the convention said, of putting itself E’parfect harmony with the views of ite'candi- date, and the plank adopted frankly declared it to be a fundamental policy of the democratic party that all duties levied for any other pur- pose than the simple purpose of raising revenue are unconstitutional and illegal. This means, of course, that the whole protective system must be given up; that we must raise our re’ nues on non-competing products. such as sugar, ten and coffee, and that competing manu: ures from abroad must come in on the free list. Is such a change as that desirable? THE STATE BANK I88UR. “The second notable democratic recommen- dation relates to finance. It proposes to repeal the prohibitory 10 per cent tax on state bank issues. The repeal of that tax would leave every state free—as it was free forty years ago— to make its own laws as to the iseuing of paper money. Money could be issued on any security 0 security at all, as the states may deter- mine. This system was once in operation and ite result is still remembered by old men and is easily understood by young men. We had in this country all kinds of banking laws. Money of doubtful value was issued by all kinds of in- stitutions. Pieces of paper stamped ‘dollars’ flooded the country, their value constantly fluctuating, and losses to the people amounted ery year, by reason of discounts and bank failures and counterfeits, to at least $50,000,000, | the petitioner was tried in the Police Court The police regulation on which the i | formation in this case was founded is in the following words: ection 1. No restaurant, or cordials arc sold shall be kept in | the District of Columbia without a license | therefor firat had and obtained in accordance trade and | increased | 18,473,019 pounds of tin plate and 14,124,781 | THE LIQUOR REGULATION rxvatip. | The Sullivan Test Case Decided Against the | District.

At the conclusion of the decision Judge James said the court had been requested by Mr. Thomas, attorney for the District, to ex- (iain more fulls the effect of ite decision am the Nan case. His honor «aid that the eourt aid not intend to say in that de- ciston that no proper information could be maintained against the offense charged in that case. What the court did intend to aay was that the information in that particular instance war not properly drown, Judge James intimated that the question es to whether or nota praper information could be drawn was a matter t be determined in the office of the attorney for the District WHAT THE COMMISSIONERS Witt Do. This morning, at the early session of the they breed, ing | board of District Commissioners, the assistant attorney for the District, Mr. 8. T.

Endeavoring to Dispose of the Accame- lated Correspondence. The flag again flies over the White House, the President has resumed his seat at bis official desk and is transacting the routine business that comes before the chief magis- trate. The President came into his office at an early “Section 2. That the Commissioners of the | | District of Columbia are hereby authorized and empowered to make and enforce all such rea- sonable and usual police regulations in addi: tion to those alrea made under ject of January 26, 1887, as they may deem necessary for the 'protection of lives, limbs, protection of ali property within the District of Columbia.” Tt has been assumed by the Commissioners that this grant included power to prohibit not the keeping of any bar room, but the keeping ofa barroom without license, and to enforce such prohibition by fine aud imprisonment. In the construction of this grant of power the first question is whether it is affected | sarily mean “those already made in accordance | with,” &c., 80 that reference is actually made | to the provisions of the act itself. In | the next place; we must hold that this description of ‘the regulations yet to be made as being “tin addition”” to those already authorized must have been intended to have some effect and we think they would be inoperative unless they contemplated an ex- tension of the class of regulations already authorized. It is necessary, therefore, to con | sider the act of January 26, 1887, It ‘enacted | as follows: “That the Commissioners of the District of Columbia are hereby authorized and em-| powered to make, modify and enforce usual and reasonable police regulations in and for said District as follows: | “First. For causing full inspection to be | made at any reasonable times of the places wherein the business of paonbroking, junk dealing or second-hand clothing Dusiness may be carried on. Second. To regulate the storage of highly inflammable substances in the thickly popu- lated portions of the District. “Third. To locate the places where licensed venders on streets and public places shall d, and change them as often as the public interests require, and to make all the neces- eury regulations governing their conduct on streets in relation to such business, “Fourth. To make needful regulations for the orderly disposition of carriages or other vehicles assembled on streets or public places and to require vehicles upon such streets and avenues, as they may deem necessary, to pass along the right side thereof. “Fifth, To establich and regulate the charge tobe made by owners of hacks and hackney carriages of auy kind whatever. “Sixth. To prohibit conducting droves of animals upon such streets and avenues as they may deem necessary to public safety and good order. ‘Seventh. To regulate the ki and run- at lage of dogs end toute ighth. To prohibit the deposit upon the streets or sidewalks of fruit or any part thereof or other substances or articles that might litter the same or cause injury to or impede pedes- trians, Ninth.
