Benjamin Harrison and Grover Cleve-
land are of about the same age. Both are
of honorable parentage. Both are law
yers. Both sought homes and business in
growing cities. So much for the likeness
between them. And there it ends.
Harrison took q bride with him to In
dianapolis. Cleveland went to Buffalo a
bachelor.
Harrison built a home. Cleveland lived
in his law chambers.
Harrison taught a Sunday school class
of young lawyers. Cleveland-he trav-
eled in another direction.
Harrison was elected reporter of the SUI
preme court of Indiana, with honorable
and most responsible duties. Cleveland
was elected sheriff of Erie county, an office
that also had its duties.
The war broke out. Harrison volun-
teered; Cleveland was drafted. Harrison
recruited u regiment and went 70 the
front. Cleveland recruited o substitute
and remained In Buffalo.
Harrison has been true to every promise
he has made to man or woman, to party,or
the nation. Cleveland has been true to
himself, and kept such promises as 1t was
for his interest not to break.
Such are the two candidates. How well
do. they represent the parties that support
them2-Boston Traveller.

Irishmen Organizing for Protection.

HL
During the present week campaign
headquarters will be opened in this city
by the Irish-Americans, who mean to do
their full part in crushing the seeds Of
British free trade n this land. The citi-
lens who have voluntarily engaged in this
movement are prompteds solely by patriotic
love for the land of their adoption. They
ask neither pecuniary reward in,the pres
emit nor political favors or preferments
in the future. With scarcely an excep-
ton these men have heretofore been
Democrats, but their loyalty to the
american flag is considered by them
higher and more sacred than the ties that
bind them to any party.
Cleveland has alienated them because
he has proved q traitor to the principles
that have made America foremost among
nations; because he has b~argained, as far
as his powers extended, to surrender the
rights of Americans, and finally, because
he has openly ayowed his purpose of re.
ducing American workmen to the level of
the pauper labor Of Europe by introduce
ing English free trade. Some of his
friends who think he has shown his hand
too openly have besought him to .thedge'

Washington special: Officers in the
interior department. and in the
department of justice state that
the affairs connected with the opening
OF the great Sioux Indian reservation in
Eebraska and Dakota arc wholly in
AEcharge of the commissioners appointed
lby the president, and that very little
will be known at this eud OF the line
until the commissioners are ready TO
report. They EXPECT the commission
to encounter q great deal of opposition
largely owing to the interference of the
"squaw men," who ere making all the
opposition possible for the purpose OF
forcing the people ir Dakota to buy
them off. There are some hangers on
around the Indians ON the reservation
vka.se designated in official circles as
black mailers, and il any of them inter-
fere with the enforcement OF the law, or
give opportunity, they will be arrested
and properly punished. Notwithstand-
ing the anticipated delay and obstacles
the department officers expect to see the
commissioners succeed, and say there is
no doubt about the reservation being
thrown open to settlement. Delegate
Clifford, of Dakota, says that the open.
ing colleagues with the Indians show
that they are prepared to meet the som
~missionare, and the interviews which
have been held between the Indians and
commissioners, although appearing I'M
favorable on their face, should not be
taken as necessarily discouraging indi
cations.
"Ten years ago, when General Stanley
and his fellow commissioners brought
about the removal of the Sioux to their
reservation" says Judge Clifford, there
was fully as much preliminary complaint
as is being encountered at present, and
more real, serious difficulties than / ex-

thing to the satisfaction of the Indians,

the refusal of the house on Monday to
take up the exclusion bill for which Bel
mont and Morrow are working. A bare
hint from the Democratic dictator would
have suficed to put the bill on its pass

Because Cleveland knows that the bill, if
passed, would stop up the gaps which the

friendship of Chang Yen Hoon more
highly than he does that of the Pacific

JACKSON'S SOBRIOUET.
How Old Hickory Got the Name Which
Made Him Popular.

How Old Hickory Got the Name Which
Made Him Popular.
The sobriquet, ''Old Hickory" is
said to have been conferred upon
General Jackson by the soldiers under
his command in 1913. It was, Mr.. Par
ton tells us, not an inspiration, but
growth. "First of all, the remark was
made by some soldier who was struck
by his commander'spedestrian powers,
that the General was tough" Next it
was observed that he was tough as
hickory. Then he was called hickory
Lastly the affectionate adjective old
was prefxed, and the General thence
forth rejoiced in the complete nick
name, usually the first won honor of a
great commander" The General, how
ever, is said to have told the following
story of the origin of the epithet to one
of his messmates: During the Creek
war. when he was suffering from bad
cold, his officers improvised tent for
him covered with flakes of hickory
bark, under which he slept comfortably.
Next morning drunken hanger-on of
the camp came across the tent, and
not knowing who was in it, gave it a
kick that tumbled the structure over.
As the angry old hero struggled out OF
the ruins, the topper cried out: Hello!
Old Hickory! Come out Of your bark
and join us in drink" The General
could not himself help joining in the
laughter at the incident. As he rose
and shook the bark from him he locked
so tough and stern that the spectators
gave him hearty ''Hurrah for Old
Hickory" and the name chung t. him
ever after.-Notes G,,sl Queries.
