Gen. Harrison's Letter.

Gen. Harrison's letter of acceptance
/ touches upon about all the questions that
are being discussed in the campaign, and
the effort to present them in way that
will increase his popularity is very appa-
rent. He is opposed to Chinese immigra-
| ton, but he does not attempt to explain his
record in favor of it, He is against the
! importation of contract labor, although the
protectionists, whom he defends, are the
principal offenders against the contract
/ labor laws. He is opposed to trusts,
although the great leader of his party, the
urc owned king, Mr.. Blaine, is the chief
and fair count in the south, but
he has not a word to say against
he ballot-b)x frauds perpetrated
by his party in the north He declares
himself to be in favor of pensions for sol
diers but he makes 10 mention of the fact
that more pensions have been granted under
the present administration than uGder any
previous ons Civil service reform has his
hearty supeort. but he fails to call atten-
ton to the disgraceful civil service record
which his party made when 1t was in
power, or to the success of the present ad
ministratiou in reforming the civil service.
He is in favor of restraining the liquor traf
tic. but he does not coldemn that provision
of his party's platform which declares, in
substa &c, that free whisky is to be pre-
ferred to cheaper necessaries of life. In fact,
Gen. Harrison is in favor of about every
thing that he believes is popular. and he

ference what his position, or the position of
his party. has been with respect to any of
the matters to which he directs attention
But it is the tariff that invites his
greatest effort. He labors to put the Demo
cratic party in the position of favoring free
trade, and. when he has done that 20 his
satisfaction, he proceeds to show that the
interests of the workingmen, and all others
who believe in bull ling up American in
dustries, requires them to support the Re
publican party because that party is the
champion of the protective system He adj
mits that there Is surplus, but
thinks that it has been "nursedn by the
democrats in order that they might use it
to advance their alleged free trade pro-
Z
ought to be got rid of by buying bonds
His argument, however, is not strong
enough to convince the voters that the
Democratic party is aiming at free trade
and the fact that the republicans
have framed a bill reducing the tariff,
and will soon introduce it into
the Senate, proves that his party be
lieves that the tariff ought to be
reduced, that a reform of the tariff is abso-
lutely necessary, aud that the people ought
not TO be unnecessarily taxed to buy bonds at
a hign premium before they are due. Gen
Harrison evidently aimed at making a
strong campaign document, and taking into
consideration the obstacles he had to con-
tend with in the shape of his own record
and that of his party, he has done as well
as could be reasonably expected.

GIRLS OF GREAT PLUCK.
II Am Not Afraid of nv Men," Said
the Muscular Maid.

the Muscular Maid.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Charles T. Harvey a New York business man,
Upper Nyack Nyack dispatch says: About
O'Clock this Thursday morning window of
the house was gently raised and man crawled
silently through into one of the rooms. The
intruder then made his way up stairs and en-
tered the sleeping room occupied by the domes-
tic. In entering the room the man made q
slight noise. This awoke the girl. and she
quickly rose, struck light and held the burn
ing match directly in front of the face of the
burglar. The man appeared astonished at the
girl bodness, and raised q revolver which he
held in one hand The girl. who is a Swede and
very muscular, quickly grasped both arms of
the man and held them as in a wise. He strug-
gled TO get loose, but could not do so. At one
time be raised the revolver high enough to
cover the brave girls heart, but she instantly
forced his arm down again, and the struggle
continued. The girl appeared to have no fear,
and thought of nothing save of capturing the
burglar without any assistance and without
giving an alarm.
The couple in their encounter reached the
head of the stairs leading to the hall below, and
the girl gave the man desperate push, sending
him down the stairs with rush. She f lowed
him and would have grapped with him again
at the foot of the stairs but she lost her footing
and slipped partly down. The mau having had
enough of the girls muscular handling took
advantage of the opportunity to make his es-
cape He raised a window and partly crawled
and partly Tell o t. The girl quickly recovered
herself, and attempted to get to the window to
push the sash down on the retreating form, but
she was too late and he escaped
she says she would recognize the burglar at
any time if she should see him. When asked
whether she was not afraid, she said, No.

WHY THEY SWoRE OFF.
The Awful Experience of Two Men
Who Had Been'on a Spree.
From the Chtcnoo Tribn1

From the Chtcdqo Tribune.
Their faces were haggard, Their. eyes blood
shot and their heads ached. They had sampled
all sorts of drinks. and at the gray of dawn had
started home. They were sitting on the raised
ronwork which, filled with small bulls eyes
served to light the sidewalk area at Madison and
State streets. Their heads had fallen on their
hands and remorse was getting in its work.
A wrlthing wrlggling. horrid thing wormed
its way between the feet of the inebrIate on the
left. 1t took COLI about his leg before the
startled victim had time to yell, With IL shrek
of terror he made a frenzied leap and fell howl
ing on the walk. The thing took another coil
around his leg With a supreme effort he broke
away and ran. His companion, with drunken
courage, attacked the monster. 1t was crawling
from beneath the walk through one of the per
forations from which the glass had been re
moved. With heavy cane he struck wildly

Mr.. Thurman's Canvass.

Mr.. Thurman should not overtax him
self in this campaign. So far, he mas
responded to the demands upon his strength
in a remarkable manner, but he owes IL to
the people and to himself to be prudent.
His visit to Michigan and Illinois, entaihng,
as it did, travel by both land and water.
| lengthy speeches at Port Huron and Chi
| cago, and brief ones on the route, was
enough to PROSTATE for a time much
younger man; but when he returned home
he said he felt better than when he started
out. His trip to New York and New
Jersey also was not so fatiguing to him
as it was expected it would be. 1t is true be
was unable to deliver speech in New York,
but, considering the nature Of his illness,
the wonder is that he was able to appear at
all upon the platform: and that he recov-
cred sufficiently to speak in Newark a day
later shows his power of recuperation.
Still, he is an old man, and ne can't go
about the country making speeches like he
used to. In his eagerness to contribute to
grand democratic victory, he may overstep
the line Of safety. The people are anxious to
hear him, and they have not been backward
has the inclination to go been wanting on
his part. But he has now been to New
York, New Jersey, Michigan and Illinois,
and he should content himself with few
eeches in Indiana As that state joins
Ohio, the journey would not be very
fatiguing. He could travel at a moderate
rate of speed, and take his time with all
things connected with the trip. A speech
in one or two of the principal cities would
doubtless infuse into the Indiana democrats
that spirit of determination and enthusi-
asm which Thomas A. Hendricks knew SO
well how to arouse.
OF course the people of California would
be glad to have Mr. Thurman 90 to that
state, but it would not be prudent for him
to do So California led tle Thurman
forces at st. Louis, and the old Romans
consistent record against Chinese immigra-
ton has made him very popular on the
Pacific coast; and now the people of that
section shoIld see to it, without requiring
the inspiration of his presence, that this
chance of showing their appreciation of the
manner in which be stood by them is not
allowed to pass unnoticed

Why Not Congressman Cochran ?

There is a great deal of opposition in the
Democratic party of New York to the nomi-
nation of Gov. Hill He is very popular
with the great majority # the party, but
there is very respectable minority that
threatens TO vote against him if he is the
nominee for governor. The question for the
party leaders to consider is whether he can
carry the state without the assist nee of
this minority. If there is any doubt about
it, he should not be renominated.
Democratic success in New York is
absolutely necessary to the success of the
national democratic ticket. An unpopular
state ticket will lessen the chances of the
national ticket for success The state
ticket should help the national ticket, not
injure it. 1t is true that the liquor interest
will give Gov. Hill stronger support than
it will any other candidate, but those who
are opposed to that interest, and their num-
Der outside of the cities is very large, will
be against him.
But is Gov. Hill the strongest man the
democrats can nominate! Why not bring
the eloquent Congressman W. Bourke Cock
ran to tho front, and make him the standard
bearer of the democracy in the State, He
is very able man and practical and pro-
gre5sive one. He has just made speech
in Congress that has made him verv popu-
lar with the Irish voters, and, besides, he is
in accord with Mr.. Cleveland upon about
every important question.
1t may be objected that he is too young,
and that he is not a native of this country,
but he is not younger than the democratic
nominae for governor in Massachusetts. and
if there is nothing in the constitution of
New York which prevents a foreign born
citizen from being governor, the fact that he
was born in Ireland is not against him. He
is "a years of age, but it is doubtful if any of
the other public men of the state, who are IL,
! or even "a years of age, are batter equipped
for the duties of governor. The convention
may look long while for a candidate with
out finding one who is as available as Con-
gresham Cochran.

Yellow Fever Remedies.

There are a great many people who have
sure cures for yellow fever. Since the
epidemic at jacksonville be gan the news
papers have contained accounts of a great
many Of these cures, and the Jacksonville
board of health has received descriptions
of a great many more, which have not
found their way into print
When the Emperor Frederick of Prussia
was dying Of cancer in the throat, there
was scarcely day that some remedy that
was declared to be certain to cure his
disease was not brought to the attention of
his attendants. None Of them was tried,
however, because it was quite certain that
there was no virtus in them.
During the epidemic of 1878 all the yellow
fever prophylactics and remedies that were
ever heard of, and many that were not,
were brought to the attention of the public
in one way and another, and doubtless
many of them were given trial If any
benefit was ever derived from any of them,
no one ever heard of it. 1t is certain that
some, if not all, of those who went to New
Orleans with sure remedies for yellow fever
died there. They showed their faith in their
medicines, but at the same tins they fur
nished convincing evidence that they knew
nothing about the disease which they pre-
tended to be able to master.
The ingredients of a prophylactic said to
have been used with entire success by four
thieves in Marseilles, France, when the
yellow fever prevailed there, were given in
the Herald a few days ago, and wise old
lady of New York is understood to
have prophylactic which is de-
clared to make person abso-
lutely fever proof. Mondays Philadel-
ptia Times contains a communication from
Charles w. Alexander, of that city, who
wants to know why, if frost will kill
the yellow fever germs, a freez-
ing temperature is not produced
in the rooms of those sick with the fever by
means of salt and ice As freezing tenn
perature would kill the yellow fever patient
about as soon as it would the germs, there
is pretty good reason for not resorting to
the ice and salt cure. Perhaps if Mr..
Alexander will find some way to produce
frost throughout an infected city, he will be
entitled to some attention from scientists
who are trying to find way to prevent
yellow fever epidemics. The truth is there
is no known prophyactic or remedy for
yellow fever. In epidemics Of the disease
more dependence is placed upon careful
and intelligent nursing than anything else

Miss Nina Var Zandt, who went through
marriage ceremony in which the groom,
owing to circumstances which he could not
control, was represented by proxy, has
thrown off mourning for her departed hus-
band-he being one Spies, who was hanged
as an anarchist in Chicago. Miss Van
Zandt is said to have devoted the period OF
her mourning 70 writing novel, in which
the departed bomb-thrower figures as the
hero. AT one time it was said that she had
accepted a position in a dime museum, but
the rumor, like good many others CON
csrning her, was found to have no basis.
Miss Van landt is a very romantic young
