Harrison Hates the irish.

New York Star.
AT a great meeting at Bloomington,
ILL.,, Oct. Is, the facts regarding Har-
rison's brutal attack on Irish-Americans
were thoroughly ventilated. 1t was
proved by evidence read to the assem-
blage that at Bloomington in 1876 Har-
rison ridiculed and insulted the Irish,
and said: ''If it were not for them we
would not Deed half our penitentiarieS,
which are almost full of them. They are
only good to shovel dirt and grade rail-
ways, for which they receive more than
they are worth, as they are no acquisition
to the American p eople." That he did
say this is proved by aff1davitS of Will
lam Condor, ST., Michael F. Purcell,
Robert Sanders and Johu A. Wilson,
who were present at the meeting. Their
sworn testimony is corrobOrated by the
statement of ex-Mayor Trotter, who, al
though not recalling the exact words
used by Harrison at that time, does re-
member hearing him abuse the Irish,
substantially as stated. James d. Mel
linger also remembers the substance of
what Harrison said, and declares: Il
am positive that his words against the
Irish were as severe as Mr.. Condor re-
ports" The meeting wds held at Dur
ley hall Nov. 2, 1870.

DUNNELL DONE FOR.
Odds Offered on Judge Wilson's
Reelection,

Re-EiectIOn.
Special TO the Globe
PLAINvIEw, Mimi, Oct. 22.-The
campaign in OlnIsted and Wabasha
counties has reached fever heat.
Both parties are now running special
trains from adjacent towns to their
meetings; torch-light professions are the
order also, and the battle will wind up
about Nov. Sd with roast OK at Roches-
ter. Tonight Congressman Wilson
spoke at Plainview to an immense
audience. Special trains were run on
came from Viola, Chester and
Elgin 200 able-bodied voters, and
from Rochester $50, all carrying
torches. There were in PlainvieW
at the time Congressman Wilson began
to speak at least 1000 people, and his
reception was little less than an ova-
ton Plainview is in Wabasha county
and in the heart of the territory where
Dunnell is making his final effort. Ohm
sted and Wabasha counties are where
his all is now at stake. In Wabasha he
hopes to reduce Wilson'S majority of
800, and in OlmSted county he will at
tempt to carry every town. There
are in neither single indica-
ton that he VIII succeed. The
WabaSha and Olmsted Democrats
are united and are not conceding
an inch of ground now claimed by the
enemy. The indications are at the
present time that Judge Wilson will
carry Nabaslla county by Loco majority
and Olmsted by not less than 200. His
strongest supporters in Olmsted conf
IDENTIFY expect this. Dunnell, to get any
aid from Olmsted, must carry it COM
pleteiy in the face of Judge Wilson's
majority of $50 in 1886. In Rochester
to-day bets of So to SO are freely offered
that Wilson will carry the county.

look of surprise as she gazed at the $50

When Mr.. Rice was candidate for
mayor of this city several years ago, l
asked his permission to tell this story,
but he earnestly forbid, saying THAT
will help sustain one of the very charges
they are making against me-that l
have given away all my own money and
will give away all the city's money, if l
am elected" AS the reason does not
operate now, tell it without his knowl-
edge or consent, and only add that if
Edmund Rice doesn't get seat near the
throne in the next world Gabriel will
make mistake. IL.

MOORE'S HOMILY.
The Surgeon General of the Army
Submits Some Statistics.
Special to the Globe

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-The surgeon
general of the army, in his annual re-
port which was submitted to the secre-
tary of war, submits estimates for the
fiscal year ending June so, 1890, amount
ing to S230,000. He renews the recon-
mendation made in his last annual re-
port that congress be requested to grant
authority in the purchase of medical
and hospital supplies costing less than
$500 to make purchase after one adj
vertisement for bids without enter
ing into a formal written contract.
He says the mean strength of the army
for the year, including officers and both
colored and white enlisted men, was
23,S4l, of which 2l,601 were whites and
2.24O were colored. Deaths from all
causes were 1888 white, 20 colored, total
214. The death rate of the army Of the
United States continues to be higher
than that of any foreign armies except
the British and Italian. The principal
causes of deaths were pneumonia and
shot wounds. The surgeon general
says that the large number of disabled
officers of the medical department Sc
riously embarrasseS efficiency, and he
recommends retirement of those officers
who have been by retiring boards in
capacltated for active service ard filling
of their places by young and active
men. He also recommends an increase
in the force of twenty assistant surgeons.

IMPORTED TORCHBEARERS
Fail to Work Up Enthusiasm for
HOd TAYLOR.

RIVER FALLS, Wis, Oct. 22.-There
was Republican rally at River Falls
this evening. Hold Taylor's special
train was advertised to arrive at 1880.
but did not get in until nearly 8 O'Clock.
Long before that time several citizens
gathered about the depot, anxiously
awaiting its arrival. The most notice
able features OF the parade were the
torchbearers, voters of 1892, and six old
men who voted for William Henry in
1910. All told there were twenty-three
lighted torches, and not one of these
was carried by voter. Even large
bonfire built in front of the Democratic
headquarters, hired for the occa-
sion, failed to attract more than
crowd Of boys. About 800
people listened to Hold Taylor while he
told the same story that he has told in
every campaign and on every Fourth Of
July since the war. The Demo@ats are
more enthusiastic than ever, as Holds
blowout with imported torchbearers,
the occasion looked forward to by local
Republicans, failed to elicit as much
enthusiasm as an ordinary Democratic
caucus. Holds opponent for the senate,
Hon. John ID. Putnam, of this city. is
engaged in thorough canvass of the
district, and his election is almost icer-

IN 1870, in a speech on the proposed
reduction of the revenue, Senator ALL
SON, of Iowa, then a member of the
house, favored free wool, and even
wooden goods. Answering the argu-
ment of certain tariff advocates, he said:
Twill say with regard to the duty on wool
and wOolens that l regard it not as an inten-
tiOnal fraud. but as operating as though it
were fraud upon the great body OF the peO-
pie of the United States. l allude to the
wooden tariff, law the effect of which has
been to materially injure the sheep hus-
bandry of this country. In a single county
III the state of Iowa, between 1867 and 1869,
the number Of sheep was reduced from o.
900 to about 3 600 in two years, and what
Is true Of this county is true to a greater or
less extent of other counties in Iowa, and
during this time the price of wool has been
constantly depreciated

CAST-OFF FINERY.
What the Swell New York People
Do with Their Clothes.

Going through the Bowery noticed
a sign: ''Lald-off clothing bought and
sold. EMillionaires' suits IS and up
ward" writes Frank Howard from New
York to the Detroit Tribune. l stepped
in and was shown quantity of clothing
some fresh and clean as when first
made UP, and others which, although
somewhat worn, were in very wear
able condition.
"We don't take anything worse than
these" said the SaleSwoman. I'VE are
not second hand dealers. These gar
ments are usually laid Off after one or
two wearings. Sometimes the owner
goes into mourning and has no use for
these colored garments, or it is misfit.
Our patrons are all first-clasS, and we
do flrSt-class business"
WHO buys these clothes?"
''Well, we never tell the names of
our patrons, but many fine lady must
recognize some of her clothes as she
sits in her pew or rides in her carriage.
A great many imported dresses fall into
our hands. A lady grows fieShy. per-
maps, or for some other reason wishes
to get rid OF dress, and it falls into
our hands. We don't see them our
selves; the bargain is made through a
third person, a sort of confidential
clerk. who calls and receives the gar
mentS, values them, and brings them
here"
There is on one of the fashionable
avenues a ladies' clearing parlor, as it
is called; there is no sign out, nor is it
advertised publicly, but it is generally
understood that its object is to dispose
OF society's laid off gowns.
AS In the case of the more cosmo-
polltan Bowery dealer, the little French
woman who has started this parlor, was
Veryretlcent as to who were her patrons,
although she confdentially assured me
that the most fashionable ladies in the
city did business through her, and that
it was simply an exchange business
done in strictly private way. Il do
not like to talk much about my Dusi-
ness" said the little woman. who was
shrewd and sharp in her methods. Il
am only an agent, but there is a good
deal of money in the business, though
l never buy anything. How do | make
the money? Well, you see a fashion
able lady don't wish to wear dress too
often. 1t becomes common and then she
don know what to do. She don't want
to hang it up, and she can't give it
away. Her friends won't wear it, and
1t is too fine for the second mans shop,
so she brings it to me. She has paid
$500 or $500 for it; she leaves it here; by
and by some other fine lady comes in, L
show her the dress she's given away,
perhaps. she likes the dress and gets it
very cheap-half the first cost. Then
the lady who brings the dress pays me a
commission, and if get anything over
the price she named that is also my per-
quisite."
But don't the ladies recognize the
dresses SometimeS?"
''Ah, that's where l must be very
wise. / find out who are the friends Of
my patrons, and am very careful not to
show any dresses where they may be
recognized"

DR.. E. j. Robbins, of Los Angeles,

Tuesday in company with his daughter,
a young woman. A number of years
ago DIR. Robbins separated from his
wife, the latter taking the daughter
and going to England. After the sep
aration DR.. Robbins went West and
amassed fortune. Learning some time
ago that his wife was dead he for
warded money to his daughter
TO pay her passage to this c0an-
try, he himself going to New York
to meet her. In that city Robbins
actions greatly alarmed his daughter,
who, during her trip to this city, mani
tent that the couple attracted the atten-
ton of Chicago man. who. on reach
ing this city, notified the Women'S
Protective association of the peculiar
actions of the couple. At the
Palmer house Mrs. Holt, of Hinsdale,
Mich, an agent of the association, talked
with the girl and at her request took
her away from the hotel and paced her
under the protection of the association.
DR.. Robbins complained to the police
that she had been abducted.
Miss Robbins, accompanied by Mrs.
Holt, however, appeared at the armOry,
where dramatic scene took place be-
tween the father ana daughter. The
girl, in spite of the entreaties of her
parent, refused to accompany him to
california, and announced her in
tentien of returning to Europe.
At this Dr. Robbins became very much
excited and suddenly tainted, remaining
unconscious for nearly fifteen minutes.
He was finally persuaded to allow his
daughter to return to her old home. He
will return to California alone.

campaign affair, which would be thrown
