EDWARD EVERETT HALE
He Is Opposed to Southern Rule,
and, Therefore, Cannot Vote
for Cleveland.
boston special

The Rev. Edward Everett Hale made his first
speech in the present campaign at Republican
ratification meeting tonight in the Dudley
Street Operations His speech was largely
devoted to an exposition of the Importance of
keeping the rule of the nation out of the hands
OF the South. In opening he said I am not
going to make speech about personal prefer
ences. like Jim Blaine [Applause.l honor
and respect him, but it is not because like
him, because honor him, or because respect
hlm-lt is not because of that alone nor because
Of that chiefly, that I ask you, every man, to
vote for him when the 4th of November comes
but because he believes in Government of the
people, for the people, and by the people. /
don t want you to vote the Democratic ticket.
Now that word Democratic is shocking mis-
homer, for I, myself, am democrat of the
democrats; I believe in a Government of
the people. believe in nothing less
1t is because I believe in that that
l don't believe that l had better honor
the Southern party, the party which has nomi-
mated Grover Cleveland, and which does not be-
Heve in a Government of the people, for the
people, by the people. My first proposition is
will go on to what think of the aspect of the
present and OF the future. This country from
1901 to 1860 was largely governed by the South
ern party. They did not know how to govern
the country then, and they don't know how to
govern it now. [Applause.] You constantly
hear the statement made that the Democratic
party always makes a blunder when it gets a
chance Why is this? Are not these men edu-
Gated in the same schools? Don't they read the
same DOCKS we 90! May De yes. and may be no.
But will tell you the reason why in America,
why in a republic party which is an oligarchi-
cal party, an aristocratic party, always goes
wrong This party led by such trmmers as
Mr.. Cleveland, led by such bad men as Jeffer-
son Davis, always was the party of the few who
didn't believe in the workingmen; they were the
Southern party. 1t was their business not to
believe in the workingmen. They didn't be-
leve in the black man, they didn't believe in the
poor white; they don't believe in the black
man. they don't believe in the poor white. They
believe set of educated men-above the rest
should govern the country The believed that
once, and they believe it to-day. This is the
reason why, if you happen to belong to the
governing class Of Mississippi, your vote is
worth three times as much, and more. than
your vote if you happen to be a voter in Rox-

METHODIST MINISTERS.
What the New York Association Thinks
of Voting for st. John.
New York Tribune.


The members of the Methodist Episcopa
Ministers Association had an informal tan
about candidates for President yesterday a.
their weekly meeting. Cleveland it was found
had no friends. In the course of the converse
ton it was suggested that st. John ought to h
supported as the candidate of the Prohibition
lists. An animated discussion followed. Thu
Rev. Merritt Hulberd, of the Washington Squau
Church, increased the interest in the subject BIZ
reading paper entitled: "A Preacher in Search
of a Party" in which he argued that it was thu
can ticket and not for st. John. He charged
that the Democratic party was the party "of thu
brewery and distillery, and that its ranks WERE
recruited from the grog-shops. If now and
again it subsidies the third party"-the Prohi-
bition-he continued, "it is that it may more
etfectually rivet the chains of tho people BY
defeating the real friend OF temperance"-tht
Republican party. MI. Hulberd eulogized thu
Republican party, in the course OF his remark
comparing the organization TIC noble ship, and
saying: She has counted 95 Der cent. of the
voters of the Methodist Episcopal Church and
81 30-100 per cent. Of its ministry among het

Feeling Confidence in the Future.
rFrom the wan Street News.l

From the Wall Street NewsJ
AS Mr.. Vanderbilt says, there is every
thing in feeling confidence in the future.
James Landing, Arkansas, used to be
situated in Tennessee. One night the
big river went on a bende-j and next
morning the Landing was on the
Arkansas shore. The half dozen resi-
dents cravled out of bed, to be amazed
and dumb-founded, and plunged into
despair. After a bit a steamboat came
along and turned her nose into the bank,
and the captain called out:
"What in blazes has happened?"
'This new cutoff has moved us into
Arkansas" was the reply.
"Bad! bad And how do you feel ?"
"Well, we did feel all broke up at first,
but we've had a meeting and talked it
over, and we've got heap of confidence
in the future. Come to fgger up we've
jumped Tennessee debts to the amount
of $780,"

BOURBON FALSEHOODS.
Specimens of the Shallow Campaign Am
munition Being Used by the Democrats.


Washington special to Chicago Tribune.1
Secretary Mcpherson is kept pretty busy in
answering letters from Republicans in different
parts of the country who desire to be furnished
with material to combat wild assertions made
by Democratic speakers. The Tennessee Dem
OcratS seem to be especially wrought up over
the tremendous surplus in the Treasury, which
they assert amounts to $435, 100000. The facts
are that the 1st of October the cash in the Treas
ury amounted to that sum: that $244 000, 900
represents gold and silver deposited for which
silver certificates have been issued, and which is
required by law to remain in the Treasury for
the redemption of such certificates that 49,
100000 is held for the redemption of matured
bonds and interest thereon which have been
called and which may at any time be presented
for payment; that 100000 is held for the
payment OF interest on uncalled bonds, which
is due and unpaid: so the cash balance available
is S144, 000, 900, from which expenditures
under appropriations are to be paid and cne re-
serve against the greenbacks maintained.
In Iowa the Democrats are circulating a cam
paign document charging a discrepancy Of
$4,000 900 in Government accounts. This is an
old lie revamped. 1t was fully exposed four
years ago. When the matter was up in the For
ty-fourth Congress, first session, Secretary Brs-
tow, in a communication to Congress, fully ex-
planned the whole matter. In that communica-
ton he said:
In no instance has there been any erasure or
alteration in the books or records of this depart
ment, and the changes made in the published
reports have been only to express with greater
accuracy the precise condition of the public &C
counts, as shown by such books and records"
AS Mr.. Bristow is now supporter of Gov.
Cleveland for the Presidency his authority ought
to be good with the Democrats. 'e
In Illinois and elsewhere Democratic speakers
are declaring that the Republicans have squan-
dered over $56000 600 on the navy since the war.
The records Of the department. show that only
$154.000, 900 have been appropriated and expend-
ed on vessels during that period. That
amount includes all the expenditures for the
Bureaus of Construction, Steam Engineering,
Ordnance, and Yards and Docks. In both the
latter are included as for war vessels several
millions of dollars expended in experimental
tests of ordnance and for the care and improve
ments of navy-yards and docks and repair of
buildings, ETC. While the present navy is not
what it should be, it is formidable as compared
with the navy turned over by Buchanan's adj

The Courtship of the Future.

A writer in the New York Home Jour
nal believes that the old fashioned
courtship is passing away, and, after
asking what are to be the regulations
of courtship during the transition
epoch, answers as follows: ''Nomjnally
and theoretically the man still does all
the courting, but really and practically
women are taking the matter into their
own hands. Enough of the restraint
of chivalry has remained to prevent
them from openly proposing marriage
to the object of their choice; but there
are thousand ways in which lady
of tact may WOO and yet not transcend
the bounds of etiquette. The present
method is hybrid between the one
sided counting of knightly days and the
custom which will prevail when women
have their proper position in the socie-
ty of the future. In a word, courtship
is now drifting womanward, by which
we mean that the ladies will constantly
take more and more active part in it,
until the day in which woman shall
have her rights, the most important of
which is marriage, it will be as COM
mon for some women to offer their
hands to men as it is for men to pro-
pose to women. Oh, lucky day for
bashful bachelors. :"

authorities PoRerless.

Authorities POWeriess.
CINCINNATI, Sept Il.-Mr. L n. BonhRm
Of the State Board Of Agriculture writes that
the members Of the Board who have been CIV
ing attention TO the reports of pleuro-pneu-
monia in some Of the herds OF Jersey cattle IN
the western portion of the State have become
satisfied of the existence of the disease, and
fear it has become so disseminated that it will
be impossible TO stamp it out. The first herd
which was reported as affected was in Miami
County. DR. Salmon made an investigation
of the disease in this herd, and reported
to the board that twelve head had contracted
the disease in a chronic form and ought TO be
killed Money was at once raised by contrl-
buttons to pay the owner for the cattle, and
it was agreed that after being slaughtered tho
lungs Of these cattle should be dissected IN
the presence of as many cattlemen as could
be got together, in order that they may be
able to detect the disease should it appear In
their herds DR.. Salmon was of the opinion
that if the diseased animals in the Miami
County herd were slaughtered and the
balance of the herd quarantined for three
or four months the disease might be eradics-
ted. But before this was done he was called
to Montgomery County, and he has reported
to the State Board the discovery Of pleuro-
pneumonia in several herds there. The
board, therefore, decided that it would BE-
useless to fight the disease with the limited
means at their command. There is no State
Veterinarian and no state law that is at all
adequate TO the emergency. Some of the
members of the board have suggested the
convening of the Legislature Immediately for
the purpose of enacting law by which the
disease may be eradicated Mr.. Bonham
says unless something positive is done soon.

will be irreparable

Amhidentrnns Penmen.

s.Is ambidextrous, or left handed
writing taught much nowadaysP ask
ed New York Mail aud Express re-
porter of the principal of leading
business college, where the study of
penmanship is one of the great fea-
lures.
Yes" was the reply. There is not
an institution of penmanship in this
CITY that does not devote as much time
TO me ,lcyeIUpm ent of the photographic
faculties of the lett hand as those of the
right. Years ago exploded the then
prevailing notion that the action of the
muscles in the formation of script char
acters was natural to the right hand
alone. In fact, there is nothing natu-
raj in writing. Good penmanship is
the result of incessant practice. in
which the left hand may be trained
with as satisfactory results as the
right. And viewed from both an edu-
cational and business standpoint the
PRONUNCIATION of ambidextrous instrdc-
tion is certainly desirable. In the tiIst
place, it is a well known fact that per-
sons who train the left hand always be-
come more proficient in penmanship
with their right. And what an aid it is
to the people who earn their living by
the use of the pen to be able to write
with both hands. Penman's paralysis
is unknown, and if an accident should
happen to one hand the other is always
ready for duty. A great many clerks
down town are proficient ambidexter-
lists. When they are tired of writing
with one hand they change the pen and
thus avoid the fatigue consequent
upon the use of one hand throughout
the day. Take, for instance, MIR. NJ +
Cockey. of the Western Union Tele-
graph company. With his right hand
he is able to send message along the
wires and with his left hand to take
down copy of the same. Very handy,
is it not? This prejudice against the
the left hand is dying out, as it
should"
