Salt lake Tci5aBss Is it not cheeky, inthe

solemn anniversary Just at the time when a
gseai parry pres Is assuring the county that
the only way 10 insure the future OF The Re
public is to give it over entirely 10 the con
trol ofthe men who. twenty-hv years ago,
were wishing that all those veterans were

New York Sun Even the ProhIbidonist
managers are making q canvass which is a
fabric Of guile and slyness compared with
Colonel Brice's 81 strictly educational campaign.
Nevertheless. when the Democratic State
Conamitie Is organized and in working order
we shall advise that body, in the interest OF
Democratic Success in State and Nation, to
keep IFS eyes on Senator Qaay rather than
upon Colonel Calvin 5. Brice.
New York Ta5me General Harrison, in
one of his admirable addresses last week,
urged men Of Irish birth to take part in the
present CANVASS and 10 make their choice be-
tween parties as Americans and as Ameri-
cans only. This is the patriotic, self respect
ing way Of enlisting the support of Irish
Americans. The President in his retaliation
demonstration has solicited Irish Support as
a demagosue and a charlatan.
Philadelphia Iagainer. General Harrison
goes right on making his wonderfully clear
speeches at the rate Of oar or five a day.
Economic subjects must have been thorough
ly digesied in the mind Of a man who can
discuss them so boldly of hand and give his
enemies no opportunities to catch him in in
oonsissencies. General Harrison IS well &C
quainted with the truth, and it Is never hard
for The truth to be consistent with itself
81. Louis Globe Democrat. Mr.. Brice is n
douhledly correct in bis view that the Demo
cratic party has not the slightest chance Of
carrying a single Eastern State this year. The
Republican gains in Rhode Island. Vermont
aud Maine over the preceding election show
that the influences operating To bring about
Republican success are general, not local,
and thai every STATE east Of The Alleghenies
is morally certain to give It's elec oral vote
for HARRISON and Morton.
New Orleans Safc Nothing has been
heard fr,m Canada lately ia resardto the re-

tanned that bluster bad DO effect on the poll
cy Of this government. also that she viii be
treated Just as she has been in the habi, of
treating Americans WHO desire to fish in her
waters and tnle in her ports. The fact Of
the matis is Canada has realized that il She

It. Canada may he a little loud in her talk
but she has 3 good deal OF hore sense.

A Simple Cure for Insomnia.

Having suffered for many years with that
disease, of which so many people seem to
suffer now, insomnia, and having tried a
number Of remedies without any relief, and
having no conidencein such drugs Is opium
choral, etc, l have tried a new remsdy, and
an glad TO say, with entire success, viz:
honey. About a year and half ago / read in
a Germln periodical that il was a sure cure,
and my experience has fully confirmed this,
spread about two or three teaspoonfuls on
a soda biscuit or a piece of bread and eat this
just before going to bed. This continued for
a few weeks every night has effected a co m
plete cure, and ! enjoy nov as sound q

honey in the house, and if through some
cause I sleep restless, ! use il at once again

picnie held here on Saturday september 22nd.
The morning was u~nfavorable. but b eclouds
soon scattered, the sun shone beautiful, and
the day was as pleasant an Autum dav as
could be desired. Excellent singing by mem
bers of the Sabbath school, good music by
our own band and the Berlin band, and able
addresses by Hon. J.. L. Pugh, Rev. Mr..
Beale and Mr.. Ross, formed part of the ex-
cises. In the afternoon many Of the young
ladies and gentlemen stepping lively TO band
music, took part in different plays. A more
jolly crowd is seldom seen at a Picnic and
many fingered on the grounds till late, anx-
ious to check the flying moments ola happy
day. This was the first picnic held here, but
judging from the way in which all seemed
to enjoy themselves, we anticipate many
more in the future. c.

John Bun Roasted.


I~NDIANAPoLIs, Sept. 2i.-General Harrison
resolved two delegations to-day from towns
in Randolph county, Indiana. They were
composed largely Of farmers and numbered
over 300. Among their several political
organizations were lbs Tippecanoe veterans
also a Lincoln League Club of2o0 first voters.
AT the head 0 fthe column marched William
Montgomery. their Oldest Tippeeanoe veteran
aged 50. Five bands accompanied them,
and many thousand strangers attending the
State fair witnessed their credilable parade
en- route TO University Park. Another dele
CATION was from Dayton, O., and numbered
$50, including So veterans of 1870. After
thanking his visitors for the compliment OF
calling upon him, the General look up the
tariff question and said:
Il do not think there is any doubt what
tariff policy England would wish US to adopt,
and yet some say that England is trembling
lest we should adopt free trade laughter,
and so rob her Of her markets hat She now
enjoys. Renewed laughter.l The story of
our colonial days, when England, with sell
fish and i~nsatiate a~varice, laid her repressive
hand upon our infant manufactures and at
tempted to suppress them all, furnishes the
first object lesson she gave US. Another was
given when the life Of this naiion-lhe child
of England. as she had been won't to call rs,
speaking the mother tongue, having many
institutions inherited from her-was imperil-
ed. The offer Of free trade by the Confedera-
ey 50 touched the commercial greed Of Eng
land that she forgot the ties Of blood and
went to the verge of war with US to advance
the ceuse Of the Rebel Government. Zap
plausel But what England wants. or what
any other country wants, Is not very i'm
portant-ceriainly not conclusive. Applau e ]
What is best for us and our people should be
the decisive question" IApplaus :.
Later in the afternoon, accompanied by
his niece. Mrs. Dimmick. the General re-
CALLED himself by visiting the Baseball Park,
where he witnessed the Philadelphia club
drub the Hoosier team in a close and *
citing game. The General occupied one Of

his age. Al the first meeting Of that society
after bis death it Is fitting that we should
OF r a brief tribute of respect. His life for

his country with a passionate ardor which
knew no diminution, serving her with a sin
gleness OF purpose which allowed no faint OF
selfhood. his was a life full o%fincentive and
inspiration to all who, by honest zeal, strive
10 advance the cause of national existence,
human liberty and political equality. This
society. with which be had been identified
from the beginning, now places upon its
records, with tender affection and Just pride,
its loving testimony to his great qualities OF
head aud heart. Words cannot express the

sincerity Of our admiration, our love, OUT
grief. In silent and feryent sympathy with

No Abatement Yet.

JACKSONVILLE, Sept 2I.-To-day's wealth
er has been almost perfect. the beat being
tempered by a pleasant sea breeze II has
been a sad DAY, however. the death rate be-
ing undiminished. One hundred and thirty
one new eases were reported 10 the president
Of the Board of Health smakiug the total 10
date I.464. The deaths reported to-day num-
bered Is. makes a total of Is5.
The situation az McClenny and Glenn ST.
Mary is unchanged. No new cases have
been reported. One death, that of q man
named Evans, occurred in Gainesville yes
terday. Wilson and Wang are improving,
and Miller, Ammons and Hodges have black
vomii. DE-. Julius Wise has been ordered &c
make an investigation at Wellborn and Fer
nandina as to reported yellow feye, in those
towns. ST. Augustine is happy over her
clean and healthy city. Tomorrow every
thing excepting the mails will be prohibited
from entering that city, and the mails from
jacksonville aud Gainesville will not be al
lowed in at all. St. Augustine is surround
ed by TWO hundred and twenty-five armed
men. Private adyices cm.Hendeisonville

Only two deaths have occurred. and all the
cases are closely confined to refugees

IT is pretty clear now that the yellow
fever viii spread throughout the Gulf
states. at least as far as New Orleans.
Towns in Georgia, Alabama and Missis-
sippi already have it, and there is a gen.
eral fear in other towns in those States
which shows that the conditions are ripe
for lis Introduction. Perhaps it may not
get into New Orleans, or west Of there,
for the city authorities have got the place
into a much better sanitary condition
than usual. In most Of the Southern
towns the last thing thought Of IS santa
ton. II is only in a few Of the largest
and most enterprising places that any
sanitary measures are systematically car
ried out. il viii be a wonder if the fever
does not spread. The condition Of such
towns as Birmingham, for instance, fairly
invites pestilence at all times, and when
yellow fever infection is in the air. it
would be strange indeed if it should not
take kindly to such an inviting spot.
1t is not settled yet whether the infec-
ton has spread. by direct personal con
tact. from Jacksonville and Havana to
the other places where it is now taking
hold, but the probabilities seem 10 be
that II did not. If it did not and if it
can be communicated. without being car
ried by any person or article, through the
air, then the shotgun quarantine estab-
lishment at Natchez and some other plac-
es viii do no good. The only thing that
viii stop the spread Of the contagion is

Mr.. Elliot; said Daring the general panic
which has prevailed in Florida among the
white people the negroes have remained
stOlidly in their homes. When efforts were
made TO force them into quarantine they
offered resistance. lhe reason is that the
negro is more afraid OK losing his vote than
ne is Of the fever. They have in Some way
become imbued with the idea that removal
to safer quarters means the loss OF suffrage,
and to be allowed to vote is the negro's
highest ambition. What political signif-
canoe this may have, remains to be seen. Ii
is estimated that fully 1000 white people
nave either len the State or are con;emplat-
ing removal. The marginal majority is not
large, and many fear that unless the panic
is stopped the Stale may be thrown under
