Sydney's Beautiful HarbOr.
Glasgow Herald.

NIaSSOW Herald.
One grand picture gallery Sydney
possesses and sufficiently enjoys-its
harbor. Let none who values his
place in any Australian heart murmu,
that he never heard of Sydney har
Dor, or hint that it has any eqnal in
the world. When | first sailed on il
a gentleman graveIy assured me that,
with all its sinuosities, this harbor
had a waterfront of $500 miles.
Deduct about 1000, and you will be
nearer the fact Deduct a proportion
ate amount of enthusiasm, and you
will have the sober truth that this har-
Dor, with its green promontories and
islets, its bays, and hooks, and beaches,
studded with shining villas, is of a
beauty that never wearies the eve. AS
during many months of The year, fair
weather may be counted on. there are
many picnics on the wooded shores,
and so much room that none need JOS
tie the other. On Sundays there are
many excursions, out little bathing,
the sharks being a sufficient police
force to keep all bathers inside the
palings and houses provided at vari-
Gus spots, with scrupulous separation
of sexes.

Honor to Whom it is Due


In your issue of the 11th inst, under
the head of Local Personals, is a state
ment which needs correcting. 1t is stat
ed that one George w. Elliott, who
brought to Cincinnati enc thousand dol
lars Isl, ,0e0) in cash for a well known
proprietary medicine concern of Roch-
ester, n. V, is now advertising manager
of patent medicine concern on the
Hudson. 1t is the first statement which
needs correcting; of the latter l know
little and care less.
Mr.. Elliot did not bring the money to
Cincinnati, but he acted simply in the
capacity of messenger of the Rochester
house which he represented. The facts
of the case are these:
During the height of the suffering
caused by the raging waters, when thou
sands of fugitives were starving from
hunger and suffering frona cold. long
before the authorized call for aid was
sent out by our citizens. Mr. II. Fl. War
nsr, of Rochester, N Y, with that
wholesale generosity which is charac-
teristic of the man, telegraphed me that
he had sent one thousand dollars cash,
and twelve hundred and fifty dollars
worth of Warmers Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure. the entire proceeds of the
sale OF winch, together with the one
thousand dollars cash, were to be given
for tie benefit OF the sufferers. as in my
judgment appeared best.
The goods were disposed of and, be
heve, the entire proceeds, with the one
thousand dollars cash, were given to re-
heve the wants and miseries Of the suf-
ferers. For Mr.. Elliott to try and appre-
pirate for his concern on tho Hudson the
thunder of reputable house to rattle
| up demand for his medicine is not only
unjournalistic, but decidedly un-busi-
ness like. Ii this concern ON the Hudson
wishes to reap the benefit of such mag
nanimity as Mr.. Warmers, why don't
| Mr.. Elliott have its proprietor donate
his two thousand two hundred and fifty
dollars? We dare say it would b iu-
diciously expended, and that whatever
glory ard benefit there might be in such
an exhibition of generosity would be
cheerfully given him.
| am led to make this statement from
a sense of justice and right and from
/ the fact that it is due Mr.. Warner,
whose iberality our citizens enjoyed.
/ Yours for the right,
| NJ. MOSLER

In interviews tonight with A. X.
Hamilton, of Fond du Lac, and Geo.
A. Burnham, heavy stockholders,
they denied that there was anything
crooked, and said they made no
charges against the treasurer. They
alleged that they were having the
books examined by experts only as
ali large corporations do every year.

Two Badger Statesmen.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Chi
cago Tribune's special sent from here
says: Gov. Rusk, of Wisconsin, is
here. He was one of Garfield S
strongest supporters at Chicago and
did very much at a critical time to
secure his nomination. He is not
openly for any of the leading candi-
dates. He favors Gov. Fairchild, of
Wisconsin, late minister TO Spain, for
the presidential nomination, and says
that Wisconsin will present his name
The qualifications urged are that he
had a good record as soldier, lost his
arm in the war, is sound on all ma
tional questions. has never been iden-
tilted with any faction, and is man
who could be heartily supported by
all republicans everywhere.
Judge Humphreys, of Wisconsin,
who is also here, is on the contrary
strong for Logan, and believes that
Wisconsin would be foolish to waste
its influence in the convention on a
favor1te son as Minnesota did for
Window at the last convention.

The Bite of an Epileptic.

In England, recently, a young man
was bitten in the hand by a woman
who had fallen in an epileptic fit.
Three days afterward he died, and the
neighborhood became greatly excited
over the occurrence. The case only
tends to add additional testimony to
the fact that the public love sensations.
This death may have been merely a
coincident, or, again, bite from any
person or any animal will occasional
ly, or we should rather say might oc-
casionally, set up a degree of infam-
nation in an already depravcd or
weakened constitution that might
prove fatal But TO suppose that the
bite of an epileptic is any more serious
simply because it is inflicted by an
epileptic, than would be a similar
wound received from any other per-
son, is certainly unreasonable, and
not to be entertained in the pathology
cal light of to day.

The Snow Slide

DENVER, March 11.-At six o'clock
last night snow slide descended up.

Woodstock, on the branch Of the
South Park railroad, seventy five
miles SOUTH vest of Leadvills, carrying
away every building Ill the town. in.
ctudlng the railroad station. News
was brought to Pltkln, nine miles dis
tant by a section hand ON snow shoes
arriving at two o'clock this afternoon.
Seventeen persons are known to have
been caught in an avalanche, imclud-
ing Mrs. Doyle, widow, who kept the
station, and her six children, and an
other woman, name unknown, and ten
section men. The two women were
rescued last night alive, but seriously
injured. The body of one section
hand was recovered this morn
ing; none of the others can escape
alive. As soon as the news reached
and large number of citizens started
on snowShoes to the scene of the dis.
aster. Among the missing are Jacob
Caswell, of Tornichi; J. S. Brown,
telegraph operator at the station;
Geo. Alexander, Horace Alexander
and Mike Shea. A large number Of
snow shovelers leave in the morning.

of communication is on snow shoes;
and few men are heroic enough to
brave the bitter storms. When the
spring thaw moves this mountain Of
snow, fearful results must follow.

Arrested on Suspicion

CHICAGO, March II. The Daily
News, indianapolis, says Fred Bloom,
claiming to be from Central City,
Colorado, was arrested here, tonight,
on telegram from St Louis, charg-
ing him with conplicity in a S75. 900
robbery of the Pacific express Office
there few days ago. The telegram
says he wrote a letter to the chief of
police of st. Louis, saying he knew of
the robbery and would give all desired
information if a compromise was of
fered. He came here few days ago
and deposited $4,000 in the hotel
safe He denies all knowledge of the
robbery and says he never wrote any
letters to the authorities. He appears

general strike. which continued until
last September, when work was
resumed upon the scale of wages
which previously prevailed. Daring
the strike of four months prices Of
rolled iron did not advance notwith-
standing the stoppage of so many
mills, fact which clearly demon
strated that the capacity to produce
this form of iron had again. as in pan
ic years, exceeded the demand Atthe
same time It must be frankly admitted
that our rolling mill capacity has for
some time been in advance of
the consumphve wants of the
country, and that to check
to the reproduction of rolled iron
which was afforded by the strike of
1882 was IN no sense a calamity to the
manufacturers. 1t is believed that the
condition of the iron and steel indus
tries, and the workors in them, has
not much changed since 1882; that the
condition of other industries is not
unlike, and differs only in a degree
from iron and steel; that the calam-
lty frequently recurring to industrial
embarrassment and enforced idleneSS
is inseparable from the epormitieS of
our protective system The calami
ties of such system always fall upon
the laboring poor. You committee,
therefore, report a bill to reduce the
import duties and war tariff taxes
with the recommendation that il be
passed as a measure of partial relief
to the people from unnecessary taxes,
as a measure of justice to consumers
and conducive TO the general indus
trial prosperity.

WHAT blessing a tariff is anyway
Tho New York Times (rep) gives the
difference in prices Of mems clothing
in Now York and London Read it,
and see what lovely condition of
things the grand old party has prom
issd to porpctuate;
For instance, a broad cloth dress
suit which costs $50 in New York
costs only S22 in London.
A heavy business suit which costs
$35 in New York, costs but Sl3 in
London.
A spring serge overcoat which costs
$50 in New York, costs but S. 80 in
London.
A winter beaver overcoat which
costs $35 III New York, costs but Sl4 50
i'll London.
A silk hat which costs s. in New
York, costs but 81 in London.
These articles altogether cost in
New York $40. In London they
cost but SOL. The man who buys
these clothes, therefore, III New York
pays 80 more for them than he could
buy them for in London.
This difference is caused by the
tariff. 1t is caused by the tariff on
wool and woolen goods. The tariff
on wool was slightly reduced in the
last revision of the tariff, but the
tariff on wooden goods was increased
What is the pretext for this enormous
taxation which more than doubles
the price of every suit of clothesl
1t is the protection of the laborers
employed in the woolen factories.
How many laborers does it protect,
prayi The census says there are
$500 operatives in WOODEN factories
Under the pretext of protecting the
handful of operatives in woolen man
ufactures, the cost Of clothing worn
by fifty million people is substantial
ly doubled. The republican conven-
ton is called by all who are in favor
of exalting and dignifying labor.
How is it To be exalted and dignitied
