tion, was recently the recipient Of the
most royal welcome on his return from
Europe, rendered by all the officers and
employees of the company in their main
office in the Potter building. The vice
president, Mr, Taylor, delivered the
greeting to their popular president, and
in reply Mr.. Harper described the va.
rious sights and incidents of the trip,
and dwelt especially upon the impress
sion received of the economic conditions
Of England and Europe.
He learned enough in three months to
convince him of the mistake he made
four years ago ii advocating policy for
revenue only and organizing and equip
ping six Democratic campaign clubs.
He returns a most ardent projections
ist, and gave in detail a considerable
number of convincing facts which. in his
mind, makes it OF the utmost necessity
that the United States do not abandon
their present policy in foreign trade. He
was deeply impressed with the difference
in condition between American and Eu-
ropean laborers. In England. Ireland
and India they were as degraded as the
reports Of every traveller has made
them, and in visiting sixteen countries
he found this to be true in many diffe-
rent employments and knows that the
present wages of laborers in this coun-
try could never be continued if the tariff
was removed at their present standard
double, on the average, those given
aboard. Mr.. Harper said he did not
wish to dictate to any emploYe, but the
man who did not take his stand on ore
side or the other was a coward. The
several hundred people who listened to
these remarks We're most deeply i'm
pressed and cheered the speaker fre-
quently
Mr.. Harper is no longer a Democrat,
and hereafter will give AL his influence
to the party that opposes free trade.
He has learned q new political econ nomy
and in its support can produce facts
and statistics proving everything which
he said at the reception
Illustrative of his kindness and broad
charity, a we'll known railroad man, who
has worked up from the humble walks OF
labor, tells this incident: 81 was living
in two rooms on the same street, within
a door or two of where General Ben.
Harrison lived, eighteen years ago in
this city. I did not know the General
OF his wife then, as / had been married
but a short time and had but lately
moved into my rooms. My wife was
taken sick, and strangers as we were,
the General frequently called at the
door of our humble home to inquire of
her condition. and many a time Mrs.
Harrison brought in to my wife dainties
to eat, and was always CHEEKY in her
kindly words. Poor, and stranger as [
was, it made an impression that will be
green in my mind as long as / live.
Talk about laboring men not vote for
General Harrison! No truer or more
sympathetic heart ever beat in mans
bosom than his for poor men, and
for one Ill be in at his election to re-
joice with the others.

THE STRANGE CASE OF COLONEL MCKENZIE.

THE STRANGE CASE OF COLONEL MCKENZIE.
Colonel Jim Mckenzie. one Of the leading Dem
ocrats of Kentucky, some time ago said: " Every
time l pronounce Clevelands name my mouth
tastes bitter There has been no later bulletin
concerning the Coloneps CASE so we suppose he
is still troubled with the bad taste.
1t is to be hoped for the good of the individual
members of the Democratic party that his atfiiction
will not spread and become general. The reader
may not at first see how inconvenient-not to
say serious-it would become Two prominent
Democrats meet on the street. and after shaking
hands one Of them says 1t looks like sure
thing that Cleveland-excuse me. but step in here
till we get something to take that taste out Of my
mouth" Again a small party meet before the
bar and one of them says: Well, boys, let's
take drink to the health Of the President"
s. All right" says another, :" but you better not
mention any names till you get your glass filed
When the liquor is poured out all around the first
speaker says as he raises his glass to his
lips Here's to the health Of Grover Cleveland"
makes a face hobs his head back and swallows
the liquor quick like a man taking drink
after blue pill
When it gets so that recognized party leader
will have to stop in the street after having men,
toned the name of his candidate. and swallow
teaspoonful Of Quinine out Of a private box he
carries in his pocket to take the taste out OF MS
mouth, it will look very. odd.
1t will be strange sight when the leading
Democrats in Washington, for instance, give
banquet in honor of the President and the toast
master rises and says: Gentlemen. wish to pro-
pose the name Of that great statesman, that clear
thinker, that wise, Just and popular President,
Grover Cleveand-rass the assafoetida bottle,
pease!'
II this thing spreads, it is going to be q
strange not to say pitiable sight, during the cam
paign to see an enthusiastic Democratic stump
speaker every time he refers to his candidate stop
and say: THE audience will please excuse me
while I take a sup of calomel-you can't bave
any idea how much better it makes my mouth
taste'
When q great Democratic ratification meeting
is being held it is going to be hard work to
keep up the enthusiasm while the chairman is
busy disnfecting his mouth after having pro-
posed three cheers for Cleveland.
1t will be an astonishing sight for the intelligent
foreigner travelling in this country to see leader
of one Of great political parties, AFTER having
pronounced a glowing eulogy on its candidate,
step to the back of the stage and swab out his
mouth with piece Of red flannel tied on to q
lead pencil
But it is only charity to hope that the trouble
NAV not spread beyond Colonel Jim Mckenzie.
Even Republicans do not want to see the great
Democratic PARTY standing around half the time
rinsinr out its mouth with corrosive subimate.
They will even we trust, join in the hope that
Colonel Mckenzie may eventually get the bitter,
disagrceable taste he is troubled with entirely
eradicate from his mouth.

MAYOR CLEVELAND as A LETTER. WRITER
REFUSING TO SIGN WARRANTS FOR PAY OF
HOLDERS OF sINECUREs.

Mayor Cleveland of Jersey City. sent a commuDca
ton yesterday to the Board of Public Works protest
ing against some slnecure positions In the department
and declaring that he would sign warrants for
the pay Of the holding them unless compelled to
do 60 by !udcIal process. Tho Mayor said in his
communication:
al notice the appointment Of six men with fore
a salary Of 81 900 year to blow off hydrants
This has been subject to me ever since came
to knowledge OK the facts. At time l consented
to tho appointment of three persons TO blow OF
hydrants, and remember claiming at tho timo that
tho would have absolutely nothing to do half Of
the time. Shortly afteiward the number raised
to six and later to ten, with foreman at 81, 200 per
annum 1t was question In my mind how far /
could carry protest, but 1t was the general opinion
that had no control the matter. I beg to say
further that will not sign any resolution to pay
these men, nor any warrant for their pay, should
such resolution be passed over my veto, aftor this
months service, unless ordered to do so by due
process OF law. will execute tho orders OF the
proper court, but will not give my own consent TO
this base and open swindlo any longer'
Tho Mayor then proceeds to show that ono man
working from six to eight hours day could do all
the blowing off OF hydrans that IS required and not
exert himself greatly at that.

Convention against him, drops his despotic
methods. bows to the determination which
may be made by the Republican party OF Vir-
ginia acting freely, and does his utmost 10
secure success for the policy and Candidates
which may be presented.
If the decision in the Virginia case is ad-
verse to Senator Sherman's interest, 1t is only
because some friends of the Senator made
fatal mistake in taking up the unjust cause
Of Malone as their own The question at issue
should have been decided by them according
To the rules which govern the party, and with
out any bias because of the support OF senator
Sherman by Malone and his delegation Ju-
diciously the Ohio supporters of Mr.. sherman
divided their votes. But had his supporters
from all other States been advised to vote
without regard to the preferences OF the
Malone delegation, the decision of the Con-
vention would not have appeared In any way
hostile to the Senator's interests.

WILL THURMAN SUPPORT CLFVEJANDI
On the I'd of September, 1872, Allen u.
Thurman made public speech at COLUMBUS
Ohio. In the course OF the speech he used this
language:
My friends you will never have any genuine reform
IN the Civil Service until you adopt the oncTerm prin-
cpe In reference to tho Presidency. SO long as tne
Incumbent hope for a second term ne VIII uSo .ho
immense patronage Of the Government to procure MS
denomination and secure his reelection III
public as in private affairs experience IS constany uo
yeopng truths that cannot with safety be overloohed
II has developed the fact that the 0noTerm prinopo
is essential purity in the civil administration Oh 'no
Republic repeat, until that principle DO adop'ou anu
acted upon. Won will have no genuine REFORM
Nothing could be more unequivoca or more
emphatic than that. Mr.. Thurman Is thor-
ouehly opposed on principle to the reelection
Of q President. He declares that to ignore
one-term limitation is to render any genuine
reform of the Civil Service Impossible. 90
impressed was he with the Importance OF this
particular conviction of his that he gave utter
ance to it twice in the speech in question: IL
must be borne in mind, too, that when MT.
Thurman took this position he was IN the 1uii
maturity of his powers. His championship
of "the one-term principle" as he calls 1t, was
the result of his long and varied experience
as public man.
This being So is Allen G. Thurman going to
support Grover Cleveland for reelection? we
submit this question to Democratic newspapers
that are fond of styling him =" the old Roman"
Your noble Roman of an earlier age would
have scorned to surrender his convictions
touching a vital point Of public policy simply
because he had been named for high Office
Is Thurman that sort of a high-minded, In
flexible, self-abnegating old Roman Ii 3d.
let him inform the National Democratic Com
mttee that his acceptance of the Vice-Presl-
Dental nomination will, by reason OF his de-
votion to the one-term principle, be conditioned
upon the withdrawal of Mr.. Cleveland from the
ticket. If Thurman is not that sort of an old
Roman, then he is no Roman at all worthy
of the name, but must be regarded as an old
Roman for revenue only.
Mr.. Thurman has the floor.

Senator Hawley and Mayor Filter,
of Philadelphia, were likewise put
in nomination. The Convention adjourned
early in the evening until III O'clock
this forenoon. when tho balloting will begin.
The most important demonstration in favor
of any of the candidates followed the presenta-
ton of Senator Shermar's name. His friends
were greatly encouraged thereat, and he goes
into the ballotine under favorable auspices.
Every mention of Mr.. Blaine's name IN the
course of the day was enthusiastically cheered
and the advocates of his nomination were
talking more hopefully than ever last night

CAPTAIN SELFR1DGBS CoURrMAR7rAL

The court martial and quasi acquittal Of
Captain Thomas o. Selfridge late commander
of the United States steamer Omaha in Asiatc
waters has naturally caused much comment
outside as well as within navy circles. Cap
tain Selfndge was charged with criminal care
lessness in great gun practice in March, 1887,
using the island of Ike-Sima, Japan, as the
target which resulted in killing four natives
and seriously wounding seven others. Cap
tain Selfrdge testified that he had suffered
from the humiliation Of being suspended from
duty and sent home for trial more than year
ago. and that this should mitigate the offence,
if any offence was committed In this we exer-
else charity and quite agree with Captain Self
ridge: but his further testimony, that he was
the victim of personal grudge on the part of
Rear-Admiral Chandler and that the report
to Secretary Whitney by the Admiral bore
upon its face personal .animus, should be
deprecated. There are few who will not char
tably admit that, from moral point of view,
CAPTAIN Selfridge has been punished for the
amentable consequences of his thOughtlessness
and neglect.
But there was more involved than question
of simple morality; there were also questions
of naval discipline and international usage.
Would an American Navy officer think of
setting up target for heavy-gn practice at
an apparently unfrequented spot on the coast
Of England or Of France? Can Captain Self
ridge hope by ascribing animus to his superior
officer to convince any one that he is less re-
sponsible for ordinary humane precautions in
Asiatic waters than elsewhere? The plea that
the Japanese authorities failed to demonstrate
at Washington is not valid excuse for the
killing and manning of innocent natives. As
we understand it, the Nagasald officials did
call the attention of Admiral Chandler to the
matter, and they hoped that would be suf
ficient 1t is probable that they had no wish
to have Captain Selfridge severely punished,
but supposed that reprimand would be suf-
ficient 1t is unfortunate that Captain Self
ridge was not made acquainted with the laws
prohibiting target practice within marine
league Of the coast Of Japan, without first
asking permission; il is unfortunate that the
target practice did take place against an island

THE DECISION AGAINST MALONE.

The decision of the Republican Convention
on contested seats was just. 1t should put an
end to the pretence that the despotic machine
rule of Malone has any excuse in the rules
which govern party action. A free Republican
party could carry Virginia. Malone party
cannot. The conduct Of the dictator toward
those who have differed from him has led many
TO fear that he will prefer to ruin if he cannot
rule. Before accepting that conclusion, il is
to be remembered that General Malone cannot
find refuge and new political life in the Dem
ocratic party. which hates him more than it
