HARRISON A COAL BARON.

1t is because fellow-feeling makes
us wondrous kind that the coal barons
are feeling particularly happy over the
nomination of BENJAMIN HARRISON.
The fact has not been referred to by his
biOgraphers, nevertheless it is fact
that Gen. HARRISON is member of one
of the largest coal syndicates IN this
country. 1t is what is popularity known
as the senatorial Syndicate" operating
in Pennsylvania. Maryland and Yves
Virginia, and was organized several
years ago under the immediate direc-
ton of STEPHEN B. ELKINs and his
father-in-law, HENRY q. DAVIS, who
was at that time in the senate. Mr..
BLAINE is also member of and direc-
tor in the company.
The coal and the iron interests are the
most urgent of all in their demand for
the retention of the existing high tariff.
They stand cheek by jowl with the
Standard Oil company in an effort to
control the politics of the nation. In
fact, it is pooling of interests and the
candidate of one is the candidate of all.
Gen. HARRISON being a recognized
coal baron is, of course, acceptable to
all the monopolies. They are going to
put up big money to secure his election.
There is one thing that should be
borne in mind, however. The money
that the coal barons spend in the effort
to elect HARRISON will all come back to
them from the increased price of coal
next winter.
Every man in st. Paul who buys a
ton of coal will be indirectly taxed for
the HARRISON campaign fund. And
don't you forget it.

Patti in mer GirIbood.

Amid the book gossip in the October Art
Age occurs an amusing bit of reminiscence
OF Patti as she appeared in her early iuve-
nile days when she was a little stroling
singer being carried through country towns.
She was swarthy little thing" says the
writer, with big black eyes and an indif-
terence to tooth brushes. IL was

much of her. She had very thin legs and
was largely given to sprawlug over sofas
and arm-chairs. Her dress was rather
queer, being shorter than girls of her age
wore, and not very clean. She ran
freely in and out of the parlors of
the ladies boarding in the house. She
criticised their dress and furniture, and
asked them eliminating questions. She
was Tree in her observations and spared
not their children. She even went to their
bureau drawers and examined their con-
tents. From one she took "a ribbon. from
another brooch from another a bit of
lace, saying You must give me this
people always make me presents. We
were not much impressed with her voice.
Probably we were too primitive in culture.
But 10 TINS day there are those in that bu-
colc town who vividly remember the way
wardness of a certain wandering minstrel
without a suspicion that she is now the
famous diva Patti All this tallies pretty
closely with the remembrances of a Boston
lady who boarded in a hotel at which Patti
stopped during the early part of her ca
reer. Patti sat opposite to her and she
found a horrible fascination in watching
the diva eat. The lack of the commonest
kind of breeding, she says, was appalling.
All this, however, should not tell against
the divine Patti. Genius is eccentric and
1t Is only the other day that somebody re-
vived the "reminiscences of a Philadelphia
lady who described the vulgarity of Taey-

Decadence of the American Salvation
Army,

According to an article in the New York
Evening Post there is marked decadence
in the American branch Of the work of the
Salvation Army, especially in the vicinity
Of New York Rather curiously. one OF
the explanations given by an official at the
Army headquarters is the competition of
cheap theatres and dime museums Six
years ago there were no less than seven
barracks of the army in New York and
six in Brooklyn. Now there are two bar
racks in New Nork--one of them in Har-
lem and one in hay-loft at Hudson and
Jane streets There are four in Brooklyn,
but none Of them in fourishng condition.
Ballington Booth, the eldest son of the
General, is a hard worker, and a man of
personal magnetism He made very ia
vorable impression at the last convention
of Christian workers in the Broadway tab
ernacle. Nevertheless, the meetings of the
army present a strong contrast with those
which were held four or five years ago
The attendance is relatively small, and the
sci vices mechanical and spiritless

Mr.. Cleveland has been an honest and
sincerely patriotic President that much
even the decent part of his opponents will
grant when the election fever is over. But
he has alienated public favor in several
ways :-
Frst-He retained in his Cabinet as his
Attorney General man tMr. Garland)
whom every body saw to be no lawyer, and
who besides this was smirched with a most
malodorous speculation which made him
unfit to hold any public office.
SccoHd-ln like manner he persisted in
retaining in his cabinet Mr. Bayard, the
most incompetent and the most un. Ameri-
can Secretary Of State this country has ever
been cursed with
Thid-He kept as his Secretary Of the
Interior far too long Mr. Lamar, man not
merely incompetent, but whose sympathies
were so little with the people and so strongly
with corporations and land monoposts that
it required most extraordinary public ad
monition from the President-such as no
Cabinet officer ever received in any country
to hold him to his plainest duty in the
important land reform question.
The President of the United States is not
an autocrat He is the head of a popular
government and he cannot succeed unless
he watches and conforms himself to the gen.

4 NOTABLE G1TTIERTNG.


A. Described by nm Interested Spectator.
In a recent number Of the Montpelier

this great army was the purely temperance
issue. But educational influences and 20.

convention were addresses in behalf of

is behind them. Even heresy reacts for
