Tho insurance principle has been applied to rather
delicate matter in Austria, for are told that a
Company has been organized in Vienna to insure
people against getting married, e. to insure those
who are exposed to such catastrOphes against the
effects Of their own imprudence. That is, whenever
one of the assured married he received a certain sum
from the underwriters. The business went on SWIM
mngly, and great many policies were issued, when,
unfortunately all the officers of the company took it
into their heads to get married simultaneously,
which SO absorbed the assets that outsiders were
left to be preyed upon by handsome women without
any hope of pecuniary consolation. arr

Chicago has 80 nobly recovered from her disaster
that the clergymen of that city feel justified in
preaching sermons upon its present and probable
greatness Recently the Rev. DIR. Fowler held forth
upon this theme from the appropriate text Acts xxi,
39l. Il am a citizen of no mean city" The sermon
was mainly historical but there were some stirring
passages near the end calling upon the Chicagoese
to be good and virtuous, unless they wished to be
burned again.

nations at Cincinnati. There was. how
ever, no excitement, and all parties anUear
to he satlsted-the Republicans having
faith IN the name OF Grant over all oppOsi-
ton; the Democrats believing that the nom

There is great curiosity TO know what the
Democrats are going to do.
The Liberals have made no display of en-
thusiasm SO far and are probably waiting
for the return OF their leaders from Gin

New YORK, May 3.-The Sjuj of tO-mor-
row will say: Never was such a compli-
ment paid to the newspaper press as in the,
nomination of two editors at Cincinnati.
1t believes the Liberal Republicans and
Southern Democracy will all support
Greeley, and that fact will exert power
full influence upon the Northern Democ-
racy. The North, South, East and West
are for him. The Germans seem for him
enthusiastically, and he is likely to carry
the Irish vote 1t only remains for the peO-
pie to elect him.
The Tribune in an editorial tomorrow,
evidently written by Mr.. Greeley himself,
will say: We make no comment on the
ticket presented at Cincinnati. The plat
form has been to us throughout the object
of much greater sOlicitude. Our interest has
centered IN what should be said bearing on
protection and free trade. There is an
honest and serious difference among Repub-
licans and RefOrmers on this question. Our
convictions are strong on one side. Others,
at least equally patriotic aud intelli-
gent, hold opinions antagOnistic to ours.
We did not want the convention to
say that we were right We did not
see to what profit it could pronounce in the
wrong. To declare for either protection or
free trade would repel some, perhaps many,
from the support OF the Liberal movement,
while it would win over no opponent to that
movement. We therefore urged the con-
ventiOn simply to remit this question to the
people as one on which we were not agreed,
asking them to pronounce Judgment thereon
in the choice of members of Congress. by
whom, and not by the executive, it must be

are IN no wise precluded by the Liberal
platform from making their Judgment

they are eXhOrted to do so, with an assnr-
ance that their wishes thus authenticaIlv
expressed shall not be OverbOrne by exeeu-
tive power. This is as we think it should
be, and we do not see why any who have
lalth IN the people should be alienated or
offended by such reference of the subject

After loud cheers for the successful can
didates, given with great enthusiasm, fol
lowed by cheers for Cincinnati and the com
mittee OF arrangements, which were given
with equal cordiality, earnestness and good
will, in response to vehement calls for a
speech, Senator Schurz said:

The New York Tribune of Tuesday had
this double-leaded editorial:
If there is any trouble at Cincinnati it is
from the Vaccinations of nominating rings.
We beg to say Just one thing to this con
ventiOn-the biggest thing before the coun-
try Is the question of the honest men
against the thieves. What the country
sOrely needs and imperatiyely demands is
reform in the administration of govern
ment. This is not TO be attained by com
blnatiOns of worn out political hacks to
secure the nomination Of some candidate
for President who may suit their peculiar
wants and views. The Tribune has no can
didate; it asks tor no particular man: but
1t does ask the choice of some man whose
name shall symbolic the national move
ment for reform. If the Cincinnati con
ventlon gives US this, it is a success if, In-
stead, 1t gives us mere candidate Of the
politicians, it is not only failure, but a
farce. The eyes of the whole country are
to-day on Cincinnati; tomorrow they NAV
be somewhere else, unless Cincinnati seize
its opportunity. We ask from that conven-
ton candidate whose name shall be itself
platform. There are half a dozen such
shall We have one OF them!
The Tribune of Wednesday was to con.
tain an editorial Of which the following is
an extract:
Certain journals speculate on the proba-
bility that the Tribune would support this
or that candidate if nominated at CincIr.-
natl. They have no data and no warrant
for saying that we should object to any Of
the persons named. We have said that if
the convention should see fit to place its
candidates on platform hostile to the pro
lection OF home industy 1t would thereby
preclude our supporting them; and vet we
have not said that they might not wisely do
what would cOnstrain us to oppose their

be dlspledsed thereat. In that case candi-
dates who respond to the general aspiration

newspaper. We have only urged the con-
ventiOn to use language that unequivOcally
expresses its meaning. If that meaning be
free trade, let there be no mistake and no
dispute about it. We shall in no case dis
semble or qualify our convictions that pro
lection has strengthened and enriched our
country; that it has saved us from com
mercial collapse and crash, consequent on
the close of our civil war and that it now
gives work at good prices to hundreds of
thousands who, under free trade, would be
in quest OF employment, and to
accept half the wages they now earn. But

This city 1t is supposed that this move
mrnt has been made to head off General
CorrllOs government forces said to be ap-
preaching from that direction.
The country now occupied by the revOlu-
tiOuists afforded the chief source of supplies
heretofore reaching this city from the Mexi-
can side, and is the richest part Of the State
of Tamaulipas in cattle and horses, of which
the revolutiOnlsts are said to be greatly in
need.
From their present position they could
advance toward Victoria, the capital of tue
State of Tamaulipas, or on IampicO, and
at the same time keep up the practical siege
of MatamOras, and cut OIL communication
with the interior.
At this moment the object of General
Trevino in changing base is purely cOniec-
ture, but does not indicate an immediate
attack on this city.

HORACE GREELEY.

All Quarters Friendly to Him-No AntngO-
nism Against Him-KindIing the Fires
of 1S4O-An Overwhelming Victory
Assured.
The Cincinnati Enquirer "a Democratic
Journal) had this remarkably correct edi-
tOrial in its issue of Wednesday morning:
1t was impossible to mistake the tone of
sentiment everywhere yesterday manifested
on the matter of the approaching nOmina-
ton. The marked favor into which the
name of Mr.. Greeley has grown in the last
twenty-fOur hours is the most pronounced
bait yet developed in the extraordinary
gathering in this city. We find a rapidly
increasing feeling in his behalf, confined to
no State or section, but coming from all
quarters of the Union; and what is still
more significant, no antagOnism. While the
friends of the other candidates push their
cause with zeal and fervOr, no one has an
unklnd word to say against the philosopher
and statesman Of the Tribune. His
friends are earnest and enthusiastic, and
declare that with him as the candidate
the fires of 1910 would be kindIed and an
overwhelming victory be assured It is
claimed that he would poll from so 600 to
lOU,OOO Republican votes in Pennsylvania
and more IN New York, and that in Ohio
and the West generally his name would
excite great enthusiasm. Southern dele
gates assert that he is the strongest Of al
the candidates suggested in that section,
and affirm that with him they could secure
l2O electoral votes. 1t is noticeable that he
is the second choice of the friends of all
the candidates, and at this hour it looks as
though Mr.. Greeley would be nominated,
but no one can tell what a day may bring
forth. One thing, however, we will say,
that should he receive the candidacy of
this convention, in our Judgment the White
House will be "To Let in November.
All the predictions of the Enquirer will,
we are convinced, prove to be correct.
