most remarkable yet explored by man.
1t is vertical rift or gorge in a mouu-
taiuous bluff, with walls varying in height
from 200 TO nearly 400 feet. through
which rushss a mountain brook Of purest
water; now roaring and tnmbliDg over
rocks In foaming cascades, again plung-

auon eddying about 10 quiet little lake
let's in the deep raNiue, down upon
which from high rugged crags or rustic
little bridges the tourist may look aud

Glen is divided into sections, each Of
which is given a distinctive name in ac-
cord with some one gifts many beauti-
fll or strange aud wonderful features.
The division at the entrance is called
Glen Alpha, and the section at the term
mus, about three miles aboYe. Glen
Omega. Near the latter point the Glen
is crossed bv the Syracuse, Geneva &
Corning Railway, over an iron bridge at
a height of les feet ten inches above the
water, one OF the handsomest in the
State. A shcrt distance above the en-

iancilul shapes, impending, depending,
and quite perpendicular, until at poiut
the high ana rugged walls draw close to-

the water falls over the rocks nearly 100
feet into cavernous pool below.
Not the least OF the attractions offs So

A FRAUD CAMPAIGN.

from the New York World
The Republican campaign is a campaign
of fraud aud false pretenses.
The white plume of tho Knight OF
Maine" is fraud. Blalne's character is
black, his record is black. There is nothing
chivalrous about him. His humiliating
appeals to Mulllgan, his famous sunslroke
rrick and his resignation from the house t.
escape expulsion were craven acis with
nothing knightly about them.
The episode OF Ben Butler is a fraud and
Anti Monopoly candidate Butler is running
as the tool ol Blame on bargain made
with Bill Chandler. Butler is a money
grsbber and the paid advocate of monopnlies
yet he poses as representative Of labor
and Anti Monopoly for the sole purpose nf
striving To cheat a sufficient number of
a plurality in this state.
Baine's appeal to the Irsh-American
voters is a fraud. For two or three years
during the existence Of the Know Nothing
party Blaine was bitter reviler Of the prn-
Pile Of foreign birth, and especially OF Irish
Catholics, and did his best To prevent rhsir
admission to American citizenship. When
he was Secretary OF the state he made n"
protest against the IMPRISONMENT of Irish q.
Americans rs suspects" in England, aud
the great Buffalo meeting presided over by
Gov. Cleveland was held to denounce his
inactiun.
The foul and lying personal scandal about
Gov. Cleveland set al 'at through Republi

can sIate and national committee. is fra, d
and false prrtense Its authors ana its
circulaturs know it to be lie, but in the
despair Of finding any truthful charges
against the Democratic candidate they hiy 9
been driven to dig down into the mire and
filth Of personal slander, only to soil their
own dishonest hands without leaying stain
on the object Of their unmanly assault.
The Republican professions of friendship
for labor are fraudulent and false. Cor.

by corruption and enriched while labor has

We publish below pathetic letter

fact that more than thirty years have
passed since the words were written,
they will awaken sympathy in many

grief:

Hill Arp on Life Partners,

were so many happy matings as there

be congenial and harmonious in so
many things. When men make a
partnership in business they can't get
along well if they are'unlike in,disposi-
ton, or in moral principle, or in busi-
ness ways and business habits. They
can dissolve and separate at pleasure
and try another man. A man and his
wife ought to be alike in almostevery-
thing. 1t is said that folks like their
opposites, their counterparts--and so

Mr. Logan and POlygnmy,
BY sENEx.

Mr.. Logan, in his letter of accept
ance says, "The Republican party
came into, existence in crusade
against the Democratic institutions Of
slavery and polygamy,"
"The first of these has been buried
beneath the embers of civil war. The
party should continue its efforts, until
the remaining iniquity shall disap-
pear from our civilization under the
force of faithfully executed laws"
There is more cheek in this statement,
than in anything I've seen recently.
For the North to sell their slaves to
the South as property and pocket the
money, and afterward destroy the
right to that property without a con-
sideration, and then thank the Lord,
that they are not as other men, TN
just &c, is strongly suggestive of a
certain man mentioned in the script
ures, who prayed, but was not justified.
But how about polygamy and De
mocracy?
In 1860 when the Republican party
came into power, and began this cru
SADIE against polygamy, the population
OF Utah, the hot-bed of mormonism
was 1929 and this was the result Of
the increase of all preceding ages and
administrations (according to Mr.
Blaine). In $780,, after the Republi.
can crusade had been ragged twenty
years, the population of Utah is 143.
936; an increase OF over three hun.
dred per cent.
How is that for a Democratic inst
tuition, under Republican crusade?
OF course, according to Mr.. Blaine's
argument this is due to protective
tariff Besides, the Republicans are
pledged to protect our infant indus
tries and no where in our broad land
is the infant industry, so prominent as
in Utah as shown by the census,
But Mr.. Logan says, "The party
should continue its efforts (the cru
sade) till this iniquity shall disappear.
If the efforts of the party, are as sue
cessful in the future, as in the pas
twenty years, how long will it take t.
stamp out this iniquity?
This is the blighting curse OF Oul
age and nation, disgrace to our civ
ilization and one, that, at no distant
day, threatens our very existence.

The Promise Of Prosperity.

The Savannah Morning Ne,OS says
| Tho business outlook continues to
grow more promising. In the great
financial centres the panic is regarded
as over, There continue to be good
many failures, but in most cases they
are due to the continued stringency
in the money market rather than to
any extraordinary weakness of bust
ness houses. The banks, for some rea-
son or other, still maintain very con
seryative policy. They do not appear
to be anxious to make loans, and when
they do they demand very high rates
of interest. They are preparing, they
say, to meet the demand which will
soon be made on them for money tc
move the crops. However, they are
beginning to show more liberality, ant
it may not be long before business vii
be moving easily in its accustomed
channels.
Business men in New York are look
ing for a very prosperous season
Their orders are already large, anC
the expectation is that they will exceed
those of any session. There is some
depression among manufacturers, bu
working people generally seem to bo

Ofcourse the basis of all prosperit,
is the crops. The reports received

prices are not high, The large yield
