Cleveland's Letter OF Acceptance.
Gov. Cleveland's letter Of acceptance
has the merit Of being short and to the
point. He does not think it necessary to
state what the principles of his party
are. That. he considers. was done
by the national convention in the
platform which it adopted. He points
out that If elected it viii be his duty TO
execute the laws, not to make them. He,
therefore, considers that it is incumbent
on him only to deal with those things
which are directly connected with the
Office for which he has been nominated.
In this he shows wisdom. The people
want to know what to expect Of him in
the event Of his becoming President, and
he very frankly tells them. He proposes
to execute the duties of the great office
with fidelity and with such ability as he
possesses. He does not think that
President should be eligible TO a second
term because Of the temptation to use
the patronage under his control for his
own advantage rather than for the public
good. He therefore favOrs eonstltu-
tional amendment making President
ineligible for a second term.
He speaks in a plain, Straightforward
wav respecting the wOrkingmen. They
are entitled to certain rights which they
ought to have, and they ought to be pro-
tected against foreign contract labor,
which the protected monOpolists have
been bringing to this country within the
last few years. He cOmprehends the
wants Of commerce and can be depended
upon to approve any measure that looks
TO the improvement Of the water ways OF
the country. and TO securing better and
cheaper transportation facilities.
With the effort 10 improve the civil SER
vice ne is in full accord. In his opinion
merit alone should determine appoint
ments TO office. The government should
have the best service that can be had for
the compensation that is paid.
Gov. Cleveland believes in plain, hon.
est government. His utterances are those
Of a statesman who Will serve the country
conscientiously and faithfully if called to
the high office Of President.

Defeat Better than such Disgrace.

When Mr. Blaine was nominated two months
ago we pointed out how inevitably his candI-
dacy would lower the tone OF the canvass
how it affronted those ideas and aspirations
ON which so largely the Republican party has
been built up. At this juncture we must call
once again the solemn attention of the party
10 the manner in which that prediction has
been fulflled-Star route Elkins, after con-
sutation with Blaine, going to West Virginia
to cement the alliance with the GrcenbackeTs
and lay in q local magazine of soap polltI-
cal contributions in full blast; hellyism and
Buttlerism abetted and Jingoism asserted;
jay Hubbell, Chairman of the-Michigan state
Convention. and Jimmy O'Brien, on We'd
nesday, put at the head of the machine in

cided to call q convention to nominate
candidate for the Legislature on the first
Tuesday in September. The convention TO

The Executive Committee have, since the

the Senate. ordered primary elections. to come
of on sept. 10, to nominate candidates for the
Legislature. Who the candidates will be Is
not known. They have Incorporated in their

port the nominees, and also support the nOmi-
nees Of the Democratic party both State and
Federal They also provide for challenging
all independent Democrats and pledge them
before voting to support the nominees. 1t is
well understood that the conservative voters,
who have elected Representatives, aided by
the colored vote, for the last ten years, win
not stand up to the call, but will run, and no
doubt elect a separate ticket.

''That which we call a rose
BY any other name would smell as sweet"
But the reverse is equally true, and the
simple fact that so many wretched per-
fumes are designated Florida Water does
not impart to them any Of the sweet
fragrance Of the genuine Murray & Lam

cOunterfeits and make sure of obtaining
only the right article, which has won for
itself the foremost position as toilet

The candidates for the position of Chief
Of the Labor Bureau are afraid that the
President does not mean to fill the po-

to find some one who hasn't said anything
unkind about him before he makes the
appointment. Jarrett, who was appointed
and confirmed, failed to get his commits

Living Fifty-Four Days on a Milk Diet.

Louis Herbst, of Camden, says a Phila-
delphia special of Aug. Is, to-day COM
pleted the ifty-fourth day of remarkable
diet, nothing but skim-milk having passed
his lips during that period. He began his
peculiar diet seven weeks ago, under the
advice of DR.. Wood, Of this city, who is
treating him for kidney affection. When
he began, his weight was 1876 pounds,
since which time he has lost 10 pounds.
Mr.. Herbst declares that he can live on
this diet for year, and says he never felt
ago Mr.. Herbst had a complaint similar
to his present one, and although he had
been high liver he broke off the use Of
all luxuries, and for thirty months he lived
on stale bread and black tea with neither
milk nor sugar in it. When he COM
menced this diet he weighed 226 pounds.
At the end of 80 months his weight was
140 pounds, he having lost So pounds with

Questions That Carry the Answer.


Most Of the money that is raised for these
campaign funds is expended in remote and
doubtful States. 1t is said that such large
sums must be had or the whole vote Of some
state cannot be brought out Very good !;
suppose for once that it is not brought out:
that no man is excited to his duty by artificial
stimulus; that the discussions of questions and
Of candidates is carried on mainly through
the press. and that the number of voters who
appear at the ballot box is somewhat less than
at ordinary high priced elections. Will it be
a very great public misfortune, and will there
he any doubt that the decision which Is finally
rendered is the real decision OF the people?

Notwithstanding the reports being cir
culated in regard TO his big bitches, NJ. de
Lesseps appears undaunted. He is push
ing forward his Panama canal with the
intention of opening it in 1883. Although
it is complained that the Suez canal is a
great cesspooI, it continues to be crowded
with shipping, and is not likely to be
closed within the present generation at
least. The world Will probably know in
the course of another year whether there
is any truth in the reports that it has al
ready been demonstrated that the Panama
canal will cost five times the estimated
amount. or whether these reports are cir
culated in the interest Of rival companies.

had 10 carry on the work if these state

An exchange says it takes less money
TO stock farm with sheep than with cat
tie, horses or hogs; that sheep will come
nearer utilizing everything that grows on
the farm than any other animal; that
they require less attention, and that the
returns come in earlier and Oftener, and
it enumerates many other advantages OF
sheep raising. People might turn their
attention more to this subject, but it is a
great deal easier to stock a farm with
dogs than with sheep.

Richard j. Oglesby, Ex-Governor and
ex-senator of Illinois, says the New York
Tribune, is known all over the West as
one of the unlettered, self-made, self-edu-
Gated, rough and ready orators of Ameri-
ca. In his early days he was California
gold miner and knows what it is to have
a bonanza, though he never was very rich
himself. He had been down at Deal Beach
several days for his health. He came to
New York the other day and, while pass
ing DClmOnico's Fifth avenue place, with
a New York friend, he happened to re-
mark that he had never been inside of one
of those famous restaurants. He was
promptly invited to lunch there and &C
cepted the invitation, but when the lad at
the cigar stand passed over a box of Ha-
vanas, from which to select, he said:
''How much are thesew
sETwenty-iYe cents" said the boy.
"HOly smOkew calculated the Cover
