that before the deluge everybody was

one day to find spring that would
give to his sons life and strength to go
through the trials that were before
them. When lie found it they were as
much afraid to go in as was the Eng
lishman when "She" introduced him 10

summoning up all his courage, sprang
in and emerged from the pool very

couraged by his brother, then jumped
in, but to his astonishment the water
had disappeared and only few ripe
lemons were at the bottom of the pit,
These he rubbed all over his BODY, and
he came ont copper cOlored Indian.
Ham, who had by that time become
brave, gave one jump and landed at
the bottom on his hands and feet. Ex-
aspeTated at The disappearance of the
water he put his lips TO the ground to
suck mp the few remaining drops of
lemon Juice; and SO it is to-day that
while the darkey is black, the palms of
his hands, the soles Of his feet and his

The republicans are exceedingly sore
over the evident determination of the
labor organizations of Indiana to sup
port the democratic ticket and punish
the presidential candidate of the repub-

cause. The republicans allege that the
united labor party OF the state has
agreed to cooperate with the demo-
Gratis, and that the democratic state
committee is to maintain the Labor
Signal of indianapolis as the organ of
the democratic-labor men during the
campaign. We are not in a position to
indorse the rep ublioan version of the
labor movement In Indiana. But of
the fact that the workmen of that state
are enlisted in mass against the repub.

THE REPUBLICAN DILEMMA
From the N. Y. World.I

L w u.I
The republican senator's are between

And IT they do nothing they leave their

reduction of useless taxation and pre-
venting the diminution of demoraliz.
ing and dangerous surplus.
The leading republican organ recon-
mends the latter horn of the dilemma.
Ii tells the senator's TO do nothing and
warns them that "no bill for bum
combe" is wanted.
The democrats could not ask for q
clearer or better issue than this would
leave. Against their policy of tax ana
surplus reduction through tariff reform
and Internal revenue abatement would
stand boldly out the republican policy,
as declared in the Chicago platform, of
lavish spending and free whisky.

FACTS ABOUT BANKER MORTON.
lFrom the New York Star.


We publish in another column to-day
an account of the relations that Mr.
Levi l.. Morton maintains toward his
neighb0rs and employees at his country
home at Rhinebeck. They are very
unlavorable to the distinguished bank
cr, but the Star has given the facts
just as they are, without coloriug or
exaggeratiOn.
1t man is not held III esteem by his
neighbors and those who know him
best, we do not know where 10 look for
his admirers. The good people OF
Rhinebeck, however have anything but
ii feeling OF affection for Mr.. Morton,
and they say that although the town is
republican, it will probably cast a
majority for Grover Cleveland next
November. The reason for the un.
popularity OF the republican candidate
for the vice presidency is easily ex-
planned. He ia strict business man
in the same sense that Scrouge was.
lie never believes in paying man
81 30 day if he can get the work
done for dollar. Perhaps his en-
ploye cannot live on the wages he
gives him. All right; let him 90. As
Mr.. Morton told his boss gardener, he
he can hire Italians who can live on u
dollar day.
Mr.. Morton is very unfortunate in
the fact that the former owners of his
handsome place-the Kelleys-were
people OF wide sympalhies and tender
hearts. They regarded their employees
as part OF their family. and If they
were sick or in trouble or in want,
they ministered to them and supplied
them from their abundance.
When Mr.. Morton bought the place
the employees naturally thought that
they would find him kind and indul-
gent master. How great their mistake
was is told In our news columns.
Their wages were first cut down, and
their protests against this were met by
discharges, TO make way for imported
Scotch and English tarm hands. These
rebelled also against the starvation
rates of Banker Morton, but the only
answer was the threat of Italians.
The chief claim OF the republican
party is that they are the working
mems friends and protectors. But of
their chosen leaders, one advocates the
bayonet for strikers while the other
beats down his employees wages to
starvation point and then discharges
them to make way for foreigners
whom he has imported in violation of
the law. Is the man who imports
contract labor fit person TO pose as
the friend of labor2 The workingmen
of Indiana, according to their spokes-
man, have solemn duty to perform
i'm defeating Harrison. Are their New
York brethren under an equally
solemn obligation to bury Banker
MortonP If they are in doubt as 10
their duty, let them ask the good peo-
pie of Rhinebeck.
