JOHN w. BooKwA1rER.

The Democratic candidate for Cover.
nor of Ohio, is not only a Democrat in
name, but he is true Democrat in the
best sense of the word, and worthy of the
generous support Of the people without
distinction Of Tarty. By his honesty,
his industry, his enterprise and liberal
dealing, he has become large and sue.
cessful manufacturer. lie knew the har l.
ships of personal toll for long years, and
in the days Of prosperity he has never
forgotten the needs, nor failed to respect
the independence of the wolkingman.
In the Presidential campaign last year
many Republican manufacturers in the
Eastern and Central states openly by
warning, OF secretly by despicable devi.
ces, threatened their workmen with dis
nissaI II they failed to vote for Garfield,
This intimidation was publicly praCtised
by the very men who had charged the
South with bulldozing the blacks; and it
was carried to the EXTREMIST point by the
Republican managers in Ohio at the state
election. In the midst Of the excitement
Mr.. BoOkWalter called his workmen to.
gether, and made brief address, in the
following manly and proper words:
"Men, l am Democrat; many of you
are Republicans. l shall vote for Han.
cock, you may vote for whom you please.
This shop won't top work no matter who
is elected. Hancock or Garfield. Work
will continue all the same, and your wa.
ges will not be reduced"
Contrast this declaration with the
mean menaCes Of other manufacturers in
the same state, who threatened to take
the bread out of the mouths of wives and
if their husbands and fathers
refused to become political bondsmen.
Mr.. Bookwalter is not a politician, and
he is not trained speaker. Hence Mr..
Foster, who is both, has challenged him
to q free discussion on the stump, suppo.
sing he would have a great advantage
over an inexperienced competitor. The
PLAIN people like plain ways. Mr.. Book.
walter has nothing to fear from the slip.
perry and smooth-tCngued Governor. He
cal accept the invitation without fear Of
being overmastered.
With the platform Of the ConvC ntion
that nominated him in one hand, and
this little speech to his workmen, who
never strike for wages, in the other, he
will need no other documents. Before
the campaign is half over, Mr., Foster
will wish it had never been opened.
When it is ended he will be apt to frd
himself in private life and anxious for
the Berlin mission.-N Y. Sun.

SENSIBLE VIEWS,

On PerfectIng the Demt cratic Organization,
1t is the sublimity of folly TO attempt
to organize half million of voters in q
three months canvass. 1t is utterly ri.
diCulous to think Of adding proselytes to
the ranks Of the party by distributing
documents and holding mass meetings
in the heat of q campaign. 1t is con.
tinuous, never ending labor to build up
party. Not only must the central or.
ganization be constantly familiar with
every detail Of party work throughout
the state, but 1t must be ready at every
moment and at any time, to take adVan.
tsge Of any weakness of the enemy Of
which he may be advited In the win.
ter months, when the average voter has
more leisure to read, and in the absence
OF political excitement, is more inclined
to think for himself than at any other
time Of the year, the state committee
should make its principal effort at prose.
lyting by the circulation ofsound and in.
structive party literature. Indeed, this
kind OF work should be kept up through
the year. But in order to accomplish
such task the chairman Of the state
committee and his clerks must be con.
stantly employed. The party headquar.
ters must be kept open and busy wear in
and year out wi hout any intermission,
The "maChins," as the vulgar independ-
ents would say, must run with perpet-
ual motion. It may be objected that the
idea is visionary and impractiCable be.
cause 1t involves too great expenditure
Of money. The objection is not well
founded. The money misused in the
ordinary Chinese gong campaign which
we are accustomed to follow, will suffice
to carry on all praCtiCs! and sensible op.
erations of state organization in perma-
nent activity. Besides, one years trial
Of the plan would so commend it to the
party, that there would be no difficulty
afterWard in raising the necessary sin.
eve Of war. The chairman of the state
committee and his clerks should, how
ever, be paid annual salaries, sufficient
to enable them to devote their whole at
tention and time to the party work. They
should be men who are separated entire
ly from the interests Of faction, and who
have no ambitious aims OF their own,
Indeed the work of the state committee
should be performed as systematically as
that of a government bureau, and the
funCtionsries selected to perform it
should hold their places during good be-
havior, subject only to removal by the
full Committee.-H HGrriSbur9 Patriot.

ANO IHER TUNNEL THROUGH
THE ALPS

The work of boring the Arlberg tun.
mel is proceeding very satisfactorily, and
at a speed which affords striking illus
tration of the improvements that have
lately been effected in the art of noun
tain tunnelling. The Mont Cents tun-
mel was bored at the rate of LIZ metres
a year, the st. Gothsrd at the rate Of l.
$40 metres, and the Arlberg is expected
to be pierced at the rate of 2, ,160 metres.
The Arlbsrg engineers are also profting
by the experiences Of their predecessors
in the matter Of cost, Jor while the out.
lay on the Mont Gents tunnel was &400

of making the Arlberg will not exceed
Gl5O the metre. In this regard, howev-
or, the tunnel last named benefits by its
shortness since the longer the tunnel,
other things being equal, the greater is
its relative cost. An interesting expert.

7 he Romance Of VSSslr College Graduate Who
Loved UnWiGely.
In one corner Of the palace coach sat
woman, young and beautiful, but with
settled look of despair uTon her face,
and cold, hard, cruel glitter in her eyes,
She was richly and tsstefully attn ed and
about her was that indescribable atmos
phere which breathed Of superior educa-
tion and refined, cultivated habits and
tastes. AS was easy to be seen, she had
q history. A gentleman who sat in an.
other part of the car, an acquaintance Of
the reporters, sheriff of Texas Coun.
ty, related briefly her story. AS has
been surmised, the lady had been reared
under the best Influences that great
wealth and high social standing could
command. She had been blessed with
every educational advantage, having
graduated at Vassar college, and spent
some time in travel through European
countries.
While in the Netherlands her heart
and the promise Of her hand were won
by a handsome titled sCapegrace. This
was years ago. When she returned to
this cor ntry her lover followed after in
the course of a few months. But mean.
while the girls father had died, and his
vast fortune had been swallowed up in
wildcat speCulations, so that the foreigner
found his promised bride penniless.
Like most Of his kind, he broke off the
engagement and set about seeking more
desirable alliance elsewhere. He found
it in the person Of a young lady living in
the same Texan town as the girl whom
he came to marry. ....
He pressed his suit, and the two were
married and Immediately set out for Eu.
rope. The rejected girl found means to
follow them slowly, but surely. After
months Of persistent and patient effort
she came upon them in remote German
town. The first intimation the scodn-
drel had of her was the sharp, sudden
crack Of pistol, that sent ball pitiless
ly through his false and craven heart.
OF course she was arrested; then follow.
ed weeks Of trial and torture. Finally
she was declared insane, and the author.
tiles placed her in a mad house. Mean.
while wealthy relative, moved by Q
mothers tears, followed her, and finding
her, secured her release, and now she is
on her way back to her Texan home.
Her relative was aboard the train tight
asleep, and the officer was watching that
she did herself no harm-sn unnecessary
precaution-as she was chained to her
seat. Underneath the silken robes cod
be seen now and then the handouts
upon her wriets, and the links Of the
chain that held her, HernOn County

the influence is incalcuable. The mem

not overlooked. True, that is often Com-
