PRESIDENT GRANT.

The Washington Chronicle says that
one of the silliest and most unfounded Of
all the unjust attacks on the President il
that he is improperly controlled or in.
fluenced by others in the discharge of his
duties. The President hears every one
patiently. Some he hears at length, and
some he hears for short time. His mo-
ments are precious, and he is the Judge
as to the time to be- allowed those who
call upon and talk with him. His consti-
tutional advisers, to wit: his Cabinet, are
unit, as the Cabinet of General jackson
was; and while the President freely con-
fers with these, and has respect for their
opinions and Judgement, still the action
taken on great questions is his own. He
decides for himself. The American people
expected this of him, and they have not
been disappointed. lie is one of Mr.. Ben
IONS men of ''head and thought" and, we
may add, of will This is the quality.
ai'er all, which makes him truly great
man The loyal people of the nation may
weii have confidence in the President
lie deserves it. The future will show. as
the past has shown, that this confidence il
not misplaced.

Speaking of the platform adopted by the

GOODNESS and effrontery about the resolr-

convention IN the State of New York de-
nounces fraudulent repetition of votes

"DEAD MANS ISLAND"

To the Editor of the Journal
Come with me kind reader, across the Bay
of Funday with its never ending fog, its swift
currents and fierce storms-round barren
Cape Sable, up the iron-bound Nova Scotia
shore,-up through that singular and most
convenient passage of water, the "Straits of
Canso," dividing Cape Breton Island from
Nova Scotia; (and here let me say that this
narrow passage, perhaps mile in width by
sixteen in length, is navigable for the largest
ships, and from ten to twenty pass through
every day, to say nothing of smaller vessels,
colliers, deal carriers and fishermen, bound to
and from the coal ports of Pictou, Sydney,
&C., and the lumber yards of Quebec, Mon
treal and Shediac) through the straits, say,
into the broad basin of the st. Lawrence,
skirting the Cape Breton shore. We see for
miles and miles nothing but level extent of
cultivated land, the most beautiful farms, and
anon we come to rocky and barren lands
where naught but dense forests of spruce are
to be seen. But our destination is farther to
the northward, and leaving Port Hood for
known as the Magdalen Islands, with their red
sandstone cliffs, far behind; and now clearly
depicted against the horizon, ''prone upon his
rocky COUCH we see the "Dead Man." so
called. Elevated more than one hundred and
fifty feet above the water, or covered as it
were by stony winding sheet, it needs no
effort of Imagination to see the outlines of a
gigantic figure sleeping the last sleep. The
illusion is perfect; you can even trace the
features beneath the winding Sheet the head
slightly elevated on its rocky pillow, the hands
folded over the breast, and the gradual sop-
ing of the body to the feet As we draw near
er our eyes are attracted by the different co,ors
that the island takes in the changing light :;

with strange shadowings of soft bronzcd hues,

thus favored.
? And now we are ON the shore and we find
that this singular formation that looked so
easy to climb, sides upon examination
are full as steep as the roof of house, and
without exaggeration, nearly as smooth. But

A novel idea has been offered by Mr.
Joseph r. Chandler in a recent able paper
before the Society for PeDitentiary and
reformatory Discipline. He suggests that
newspaper be published expressly for
the use Of convicts. 1t is the custom of
Jails and penitentiaries to prevent the use
OF daily newspapers by the. prisoners, in
order that the records Of crime may not be
accessible to them. In fact, as Mr. Chan
dier asserts with an unconscious savage
satire. "crimes are made too much the
staple topic in our daily newspapers to
render them fit for use in our jails, if these
are intended as reformatory institutions
while the religious press is apt to be irri
tating and offensive, and more likely to in
struct the convict is differences OF dogm
than principles of pure morality"

GREAT FIRES.

The coniagration in Chicago is the most ex-
tensive, if we except, perhaps, the deliberate
destruction of Moscow, since the great fire in
London, which ragged four days in September
1866. In that calamity 436 acres were burned
over; IL, 200 buildings, 80 churches and many
public buildings destroyed; 400 streets laid
waste and 100000 people rendered homeless,
were encamped in Islington and Highgate
fields. This country has been afflicted with
many disastrous fires. Six hundred ware
houses were consumed in New York in 1885,
and property to the value of 1900 900 per-
ished. Over three hundred stores and dwell
lngs In the same city were burned in 1876
loss S6,00O,0O In Charleston, S. c., in
1888, l45 acres were burned over and 1853
buildings destroyed. The same city was
nearly wiped out in 1865. Three hundred
buildings were burned in Nantucket in 1916.
Six hundred buildings were burned in Albany
in lS4S-loss S3,000,000. In Philadelphia in
1850, $50 buildings were burned and 81 per-
sons were killed and 120 wounded. In San
Francisco in 1851, $500 buildings were burned
and many lives were lost. Five hundred
buildings were destroyed in the same city ia
few months later in the same year. In Pitts
burg, (Penn.) in 1874, 100 buildings and
property to the amount of S6,000,0 900 were
destroyed Our Canadian neighbors have
suffered severely by great fires. In Montreal
| in 1852, HOS buildings were burned. In
| Quebec in 1916, 1900 buildings were burned
and many lives lost The same city suffered
a calamity nearly as disastrous year or two
| since. Fredericton, n b., lost 800 build
| ings in 1850. The terrible fire which visited
Portland in 1S66-and which was as great a
| calamity in proportion to the size of that COM
munity as that which has befallen Chicago
is too fresh in mind to require much remark.
Eighteen hundred Buildings were swept away
forty miles of streets were burned over
and some Sl8,000,000 of property persisted.
The city is still suffering severely from the
| blow. - Portland Argus

Great Republican Victories III
PENNSYLVANIA, Ohio and Iowa.

Public interest and public sympathy ioi
several days past have been SO much en-
crossed with the sad details of Chicagos
sufferings that we need to be reminded
that at the annual elections in Pennsyl'
vania, Ohio and Iowa on Tuesday the re,
publican tickets were elected by large ma
iorities. At no time since the great re
publican party began its benefcent rule
in this country, has it seemed so strongly
intrenched in popular confidence as at
this hour. Maine, California, Pennsyi-

While some of the republican conyen.
tons in the West have been displaying a
foolish timidity regarding the subject of
protection to American industry, the Press
observes that it is gratifying to see that
the party in Virginia. and apparently in
most parts of the South, is both holder
and wiser. The Virginia republicans
plant themselves squarely on the record
as favoring "a tariff, which, while secur-
ing the necessary revenue, shall give Incl
dental protection to American industry. -

That is all any protectionist need ask. The
Government must have a large revenue
to pay the interest on the public debt and
current expenses. Heavy taxes must be
levied, and foreign producers who profit
by our markets should be made to con-
tribute their share by means of a high
tariff on such articlei as can be manufac-
tured in this country. To collect all the
taxes from our own industries by means
of internal assessments, while foreign
goods come in untaxed, would be mani
testify unjust to the American producers.
Such policy would be an outrageous dis
elimination against our own people.
