up for every true American Institution
The real purposes OF the Democracy are
rendered plain and clear by the recent
declarations OF its leaders, and these pur-
poses are for free trade. The attitude Of
the party is one Of bitter hostility
to the protective principle, and
il is making use Of the surplus in the
national treasury, as an argument by
which it may, perchance, persuade the
people that the principle of protection ia
wrong. The Republican party holds
that 1t IL right to maintain the system
that will diversity her interests ct large.
The Republican party believes that the
| imposition of protective tax on foreign
imports IL no morean infamous robbery"
M tho Democrats call it, Than the i'm
position OF school tax upon the
man who does not send his children TO
the public schools. The Republican
party believes in hrm, steady home
market for our agricultural products,
rather than the farmer ehould save q
slight sum in the purchase Of some farm
implements II believes that the
workmen in our industries should not be
driven from work or compelled TO come
down TO the wages paid to the workmen
OF Europe Therefore ii is that the he
publican party plants itself firmly and
squarely upon the principle Of protection.
The meeting then adjourned with three
cheers for Harrison, Morton, Treat aud

day week. She WIS capszed in the wake OF
tine British sic amsnip Areouna, Captain

neer Seth W. Long of l4il Dickinson
street Philadelphia, was drowned. Several
COZ f. citing stories are told accounting for
the accident.
The Press Of Philadelphia, prints the
following: Joseph Carey, the cook Of the
tug said 1--WE were lying OF tho mouth
OF the creek. waiting for n schooner we
were expecting, Intending to tow her mp
the river 20 the city. We hoSted around,
under halt steRla, till we got too near to
an English ocean tramp steamer, which
ran down upon us before we'oonld get up
steam and get awsy from her. We got
| into the strong current made by her pro
pellfr and toppied over. We were all
thrown into the water. l saw the engi-
nser, eth Long thrown farther out than
any Of us. He was better swimmer than
any Of us. l heard him cry for help, end
saw him struggling in the water, and
! finally disappear, sucked In by the our
rent, and notwithstanding our Efforts TO
cave hiu we failed. We were in the tugs
1 yawl."
Cook Carey it was who undertook the
sad task Of breaking the news to EDgi-
neer Longs widow.
Captain Reese OF 200 Federal street,
part owner Of the tug Graham, when seen
last evening, said; II have seen captsin
Tracy and have sent him and the sur
yivols OF the crew back down the river
on my other tug, to search for the Ora

ming into her. Captain Tracy gave me
to understand that the tug wGs caught in
tho wake OF the Areouna aud was sucked
in. He put the lifsbost yawl overheard
and he and two of the men lesped into
her. Engineer Long, however, who ia a
splendid swimmer, jumped overheard
and tried TO swim. he could make no
way however, against the suction, and,
despite all the efforts OF Captain Tracy
10 the yawl, was drawn under and
drowned, The Areouna picked the others
mp and brought them all to the city. The

A Young Norwegian Resonts n Prac-
ticni Joke.


A young Norwegian named william
Henson surrenderedh imself Tuesday week
to Sergeant Tucker. He told the story
OF being an employee at the Maple Wood
Institute at Concord, Pa. Some OF the
students there INDUCED in practical jokes
upon him, placing the wires Of q gal
vsnic battery in various places, attaching
them to his bed and along the doorway OF
the carriage house. He was continuously
annoyed by the students tricks. At
length Monday week he caught Ohauncey
Shortlidge with the battery at the same
moment Henson received q shock he
drew out sheath knife and stabbed the
student. Benson then fed to this city
and gave himself up.
A brother Of the victim Of the cutting
came here yesterday week andi Identified
the prisoner The fcrmsr explained that on
being given some orderB Henson sprang
at Young Shortlidge, out him and then
made his escape He Is held here until

intended 10 kill him II he caught him. The
oolored man who sleeps 10 an adjoining
says he frequently heard him spring from
his bed ut midnight and rush out of his
room down stairs declaring that some one
was hunting him. Early one morning he
was found outside his door at the top Of
the steps, having fallen In sort OF stupor.

Bat why should 80 many Of our women

That il more OF poser to the English.
II is quite impossible to account for it
except on the theory Of deranged stomach
action caused by imprudence in eating
and by want of regular exercise.
Both conditions are unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles every where prevail
and end in cough and consumption,
which are promoted by mai-nutrition
induced by deranged stomach action.
The condition is d modern one, one I'M
known TO our ancestors who prevented
the oatarrh, cold, cough and consump-
tion by abundant and regular use of what
is now known as Warmers Log Cabin
cough and consumption remedy and Log
CABIN sRrsalarills, two old fashioned
standard remedies handed down from our
ancestors, and now exclusively put forth
under the strongest guarantees Of purity
and efficacy by the world-tamed makers
of Warnei's safe cure. These two rene.
dies plentituily used as the fall and win.
ts- seasons advance, together with an
occasional use OF Warmers Log Cabin
roee cream, to strengthen aud protect the
nasal membranes, give positive assur.
