REFORM MOST AT LAST PREVAIL.
A Severe Arraignment of the Repnblloan
Party—Its Fraud • and Scheme*
Denounced- 4 Short but
Poiuted Interview.
Albany. N. V., Oct 31.—The Aritus will
publish tc-morrow the following interview
with ex^Preaident Cleveland on the politi-
cal situation, sent it by its New York cor->
respondent:
Of course it la needless for , me to
express the interest I feel in the elec-
tions now pending, though I liavo some-
times feared that my repeated and enforced
declination of invitations to visit different
localities and address political meetings,
might be construed as indicating a lack of
sympathy with the fortunes of the excellent
candidates in the democratic field. 1 ain
sure there never was a public question dis-
cussed more thoroughly aud more intelli-
gently tbau has been the subject of reform
by its democratic advocates.
clouded perceptions.
This may perhaps suggest that if the
democratic position on this issue is a cor-
rect one, there should be an immediate and
ready acquiescence on toe part of the peo-
ple. But the judgment of our countrymen
has been trammeled and thuir perceptions
have been clouded by prejudice and appeals
to self interest that their apprehension of
the true province of our government has
been destroyed, and they have for years been
led to believe that the conduct of public
affairs might properly minister to their
profit, not by securing general property,
founded on principle, but by giving a di-
rect advantage to certain classes. There
can be no advance in tariff reform where
these ideas prevail. It is certainly true
that in such selfish operation the interests
of some of the people must be neglected.
The protests on the part of these has been
stilled by the most arrant deception and
cajolery. At last, however, these neglected
ones are aroused, aud in spite of the clouds
of misrepresentation and delusion which
surrounded them they begin to see light.
The agriculturists and others, wnose inter-
ests have been disregarded while advantages
havo been accorded to a favored few, are
not to be much longer deceived. They are dis-
co veiiog move and more clearly that the toil-
er and uncomplaining laborer should have
added to their own confort and prosperity
have been diverted to the aggrandizement
of others, while they have constantly
grown poorer. They fail to see in the ac-
cumulation of the vast fortunes under such
conditions any compensatioi for their dis-
couraging labor or for their forced and
pinching economy. They will not always
be silent, but will naturally and inevitably
demand justice to all and favor to none,
which our institutions promise.
confident of success.
I am confident that we shall secure a ma-
jority In the next bouse of representatives.
Our success may not be so sweeping and
decisive as many of our sanguino friends
anticipate, but it will be safe and substan-
tial. I can not forget how laboriously a
reform moves which must break through
selfish interests strongly entrenched and
unscrupulously asserted, and which
must overcome abuses long suffered
and arrogantly maintained. I believe
that all our gains must be the result of
hard straggles against these odds. It Is
not, however, possible that a complete
triumph of the people's cause can be much
longer delayed. The effective inculcation
of our home doctrine which characterizes
the democratic press, the thorough discus-
sion going on in every part of the coun-
try, the undisguised schemes of the repub-
lican party to secure its perpetuation
in power through reckless enactments
which would stifle the results of the peo-
ple's suffrage, and its brutal methods of
legislation, and above all positive distress
daily threatening our people at home under
the protection of the new and iniquitous
tariff, a law which will not only enhance
the cost of the necessariei of life but fos-
ters the extortions of trusts and combina-
tions, make certain, in the advent of a
freer and better time, the ascendancy of
true democracy.
the partv is united.
Whatever the near result may be, I am
not at all afraid that the zeal of the party
will flag or that discouragement will in the
least dampen its ardor and lessen its ag-
gressiveness. The democratic party is
thoroughly united and has planted itself
on democratic principles. It will not aban-
don its sacred cause, but will continue the
warfare until it achieves a complete suc«
cess.
The party that knew no discouragement
In 18S8 will not waver or falter in 1890.

Stewart at Hrenham.
Hempstead, Tex., Oct. 31.—Hon. Charles
Stewart, member of congress from the
First district of Texas, made a ringing po -
litical speech here this afternoon to a great
crowd of people. He reviewed the most
prominent political questions of the day
and made telling points against the trick-
eries of the republican politicians, showing
I tip their inconsistencies and hypocrisies on
the leading political questions of the da7.
He charged that the Lodge force bill was
Intended to perpetuate the republican ma-
jority so as to have control of both houses
of congress indednitely, and although on
its face It showed that every state of the
union would be governed by lta laws, it
was intended only for the tonth. He re-
viewed the tariff law recently passed bv
congress, and charged that it discriminated
against every southern industry excepting
sugar and predicted that eveu that conces-
sion would soon be repealed. It struck a
biow at the cotton industties of the south
and upheld the northern manufacturers
throughout.
Mr. Stewart presented bis facts In a plain
and convincing manner and was frequently
applaud<*|. A large number of republicaus
were listeners, and the facts presented made
bis colored auditors ofttn show tb« white
of their eyes. Stewart will receive an in-
creased vote for congress this year over
former elections in Waller county, as the
general verdict of his constituent* is "well
done, good aud faithful servant."

San Antonio, Tex.,Oct 3L -At 11 o'clock
this morning a number of lawyers and poli-
ticians met in the federal court room to
hear the argument before Judge Maxey for
the appointment of supervisors at the com-
ing election. As this is an election which
includes the ciioosing of a United States offi-
cer,'a congressman, it is customary for the
federal judge to appoiut supervisors. The
question was could Judge Maxey appoint,
these supervisors when the application for
them was made later than ten days before
the election, aa the law required'
Messrs. Deuman, Franklin, Kellan and
Callaghan apoks on the matter. Mayor
Callaghan took the stand the appointment
was not nece«aary as there was only one
candidate. The court, however, wis con-
vinced that Judge Kobinson was in the race
against Sayres. Alter further discussion
Judge Maxey decided to appoint the super-
visors, one democrat and one republican in
each precinct It was agreed that Mayor
Callaghan, as chairman of the democratic
committee, and Mr. Charles L. Ssuer, as
chairman of the republican committee,
should meet with their respective commit-
tees and decide upon the two supervisors of
each precinct. The list of supervisors will
bo announced to morrow,

Th. KIdk Is Crazy.
London, Oct. 21.— A dispatch from The
Hague says: It has transpired that the
statements made regarding the condition
of the king of Holland by the doctors and
miuisters were untrue. The kings's phy-
sician says his health is good, but he is suf-
fering from a mental malady which renders
him unfit to govern. In other words, he is
a lunatic. The statements that he was
physically ill were made simply to delude
the general public aid to explain the neces-
sity for the appointment of a regency.

Dallas, Tex., Oct 31.—To-day was an-
other big day at the fair. The gronnds were
crowded, from the exposition building and
mu«io hall to the grand stand, and the
various avenues were ao thronged that it
was difficatt to move from point to point
through the crowds. It was estimated that
there were fally 30,000 people on the grouud
and they tilled every department of the
great fair.
The music hall appeared to have especial
att: actions for the visitors and nearly every
seat in both the auditorium and gallery
was filled throughout the day, listening to
the splendid music of Innes' band,
the grand organ recital by Professor
Pilcber, Stewart, the male soprano, or
witnessing the wonderful performance
of Prof. Coups' trained dogs and horses.
Shortly after the flying artillery drill by
Major Barbanks' famed United States bat-
tery drew the people in large numbers to
the grand stand and to places commanding
a view of the race track lnclosure, and
when the races came there was an immense
throng of people in and about the grand
stand, but this did not seem to diminish
the crowds In the exposition, music and
machinery halls and about the grounds
generally. It was a big crowd of people
and no one department could accommodate
more than a small portion of It
It was school children's day and Abilene
country day. Tnere were no public exer-
cises and really nothing to indicate that it
was any more Abilene country day than any
that preceded it. The exhibits m;ide by
chip section of the state are highly credit-
able and have attracted u great deal of at-
tention. Probably the most striking dis-
play made by the Abilene country Is to be
seen in the exhibit of products along the
line of the Texas and Pacific railway, an ex-
hibit that is artistically arranged and hand-
somely displayed. It occupies a prominent
position in the music hall, and has attract-
ed the attention of every visitor to that
building.
Hardeman county was awarded the first
premium on grain of all kinds in the Foarth
district and first premium on oats in the
sta'e of Texas. Wilbarger county secured
the first premium on barley and the second
pfemium on exhibits. In her display is a
sample of spring wheat which was har-
vested in just sixty-two days after the seed
had sprouted.
To-morrow Is confederate veteran day.
It is predicted by many that it will be the
biggest day of the fair. Governor Roas and
Adjutant General King are expected to ar-
rive in the morning from Austin.
Sunday will be redheaded people's day at
the fair and a sight for the gods and men is
looked for.
Though racing to-day was started at noon
it was dark before an adjournment was

as it is called, on this traffic, which Is a
through rate, that is the same to California
points from all points in tbe United States
east of tho ninety-seventh meridian of longi-
tude, ou the ground that this rate has its
origin and is based upon actual competition
between tbe all-rail lines on tbe one sido
and water lines, which are not subject to
the act to regulate commerce, on tbo other,
and in reference to the carriage of
freight large in amount Tbe de-
cision states that tbe claim
of tbe ocmplalnant, that tbe defend-
ants make low rates to receiving tank sta-
tions in California to favor tbe Standard
Oil trust anu its allies, and then low local
rates from such receiving tank stations to
adjacent points whereby a preference is
given tbeso shippers over other shippers of
this kind of freight, is not sustained by the
evidence. As to the transcontlneutal lines,
tho complaint is dismissed, but U held for
further evidence In an investigation in the
case of certain southern and southwestern
railroads who are also defendants in the
proceedings. This was the last of a series
of cases tried at tbo same time, and the
trial of which bad just been completed by
tbe celebrated Franklin B. Gowen as coun-
sel for complainant only a few hours before
his death in December, 18S9.

AERIAL NAVIGATION.
An Air Rhlp Invented Different from All
Others—The Modus Operandi.
Chicago, III., Oct. 31.- [Special] -Fred N.
Atwood of this city has invented an airship
with which he claims be will be able to
travel at the rate of seventy miles an hour.
A company with a capital of (200,000 has
been organized to bnild and test it The
ship he has invented and tbe principles be
has patented differ from all others yet
invented. Tbe ship Itself resembles most
of the others built It is cigar shaped and
has a big cabin hung closely un-
der it. It can be sent in any
direction, up or down, like a kite.
The ship will be built of aluminum,
the lightest metal known. It will
be 303 feet long. fifty feet high
and fifty feet wide. The hydrogen gas will
be manufactured on board tbe ship. Steam
will be tbe motive power and gas the fuel.
The engines are strone and light and es-
pecially constructed. The ship will cost
about $30,000 and will be built im-
mediately. Hydrogen gas 1r to be
partially used in lifting the ship from the
ground. Three engines are to be inside the
cabin operating seven big fun-wheels. These
fan-wheols look liko those on windmills In
tho country. Three of these wheels are
propellers. One is hung under the bow and
one under the stern, arranged so that
they can turn any way like a rudder. Four
huge wheels aro to be used in elevating the
ship. These are twelve feet in diameter
and have sixteen blades, each blade ten
square feet in surface. These wheels revolve
in huge cylinders that open out of
tbe bottom of tbe shin. Tbe idea is to run
these wheels 1000 revolutions a minute and
thus force a column of air out of the cylin-
ders and create a vacuum. The air rushing
back toward the open cylinder will elevate
the ship.
Each wheel, the inventorestimates, has a
lifting power of four tons. TJb ship itself
will weigh but 25,000or 30,000 pounds, and
with four wheels, each having the power
to lift four tons, and with the
auxiliary assistance of the hydrogen
gas, Mr. Atwood thinks be can lift his
ship. Once elevated It is an easy thing to
propel it. All about the ship is a perfectly
smooth plane, a deck having a surface of
100,000 square feet. This alone would ecala
the air in an oblique manner.
