GENERAL HARRIsoN's letter Of accept
ance, which is given to the press of the
country to-day, is digni6ed, consorva-
tive document, judiciously suited to the
circumstances under which the distln-
guished candidate finds himself placed,
and altogether devoid of sensational or
startling features. 1t is o paper that,
without creating any great degree of en-
thusiasm throughout the country, will
commend itself to thinking men gen
orally and doubtless be accepted by the
Republican party as everything that
was to be desired or expected.
1t is needless to refer TO General TIar-
rison's views on the tariff question, which
arc so well known and have been so often
stated as to to have become familiar
household words.
On the Chinese question, whatever
doubts may have hitherto existed as TO
his position, he puts himself squarely in
line with the policy enuncated by both
parties In Congress and will sec that
whatever laws they pass are faithfully
enforced.
AS to trusts and combinations, about
which Mr.. Blaine gives himself no par.
ticular concern, General Harrisoni indorses
fully the declarations Of the Chicago
Convention and expresses the opinion
that legislation ought to be adopted for
the suppression of the abuses growing
out of arbitrary capitalistic attempts to
coerce the course of trade in particular
directions. He occupies similar ground
to that taken by Mr.. Sherman, though a
somewhat less vigorous and aggressive
attitude.
To the Civil Service Reform system he
extends an unqualified Endorsement.
Upon the temperance question he indulges
in a mere generality. AS to the fisheries
imbroglio, hetrusts that the resources of q
firm, dignified and consistent diplomacy
will prove equal to its peaceful settle
ment. but no reference, except by indi'
rection. is made to the Presidents re
jected treaty or the retaliation message
Altogether. the letter is a calm, unim
passioned and prudential view of TIL,
situation, taken from party standpoint
and is well calculated to conciliate the
confidence of the party whose standard
he bears in the pending conflict.

NEWSPAPERS BY PHOTOGRAPHY.
Books are reproduced In this countr

cheaply as to sell for one-Eaif the price

the Encyclopedia Britannica, of which
II volumes have been issued, being the
most important work thus photograph
cally reproduced. BY chance it was dis
covered that the gelstine plate, from
which the eiectro-type is made in this
process, could be printed from directly,
giving larger number OF good COPIES
than the hardest electrotyEe. The New
York Evening Post now says the most
recent development in this direction, and
one which has scarcely been foreseen un-
til very recently, is the proposed use Of
the gelatine process for printing news
paper work. A western inventor has
been engaged for some time in an exper-
iment, which aims at nothing less than
the entire elimination of the composition.
for book work and even newspaper work.
The process is virtually that already fol-
lowed by the firms which reproduce
English works by photography, but in
stead of photographing printed page it
Is now proposed to photograph from
typewriter pages, and reducing the
plate at the same time to the size of or
dinary print; TO place the resulting gel
antine plate upon printing press aud
use it instead of the electrotype made
from the metal types. The late Col.
Richard Hoe, the veteran press inventor
in reviewing the development of the
printing press during his lifetime, said:
II have some idea that the next Jump will
be in direction of photograhing the news
paper upon the sheet of paper as it flies
through the press. I don't know how
such thing can be done, but with the
instantaneous process Of lightning photo
graphs some genius will use it for the
newspapers. He did not live to see any
experiment made in the direction of
actHal photography Of newspapers, but
there seems to have been something al
most prophetic in this suggestion of
photography for the newspaper OF the
future.

Fish From Underground.

About two years ago, Mr.. j. McMil-
Ian began sinking an artesian well on
his premises, and after boring for a
long time, the depth of tfty-fve feet
was reached, when the machine used
in gouging into the bowels of the earth
suddenly dropped of is own accord
several inches, followed almost i'm
mediately by large flow of water,
coming apparently from some under
ground stream, pressing for an outlet
Other flowing wells having been dis
covered in the city, nothing very un-
usual was thought of this, although the
water came up with almost terrific
force, throwing stream which prom
ised to not only furnish good water
supply for the surrounding neighbor-
hood, but shortly to turn the locality
into a small lake. A covering was Sc
cured for the well and all was secured
until some time after, when certain re-
pairs were being made, and taking the
top oft again the water boiled up as
furious as ever, throwing out thous-
ands of small p;ckerel. The little fish
were alive and came up in innumera-
BILE quantities for a considerable time.
Last winter they made their appear
ance as usual, and also this winter, the
last catch being now displayed at Aid.
Ryan's store. Tie pipe in the artesian
well is three and half inches in cir
cumference. The discovery is one un-
heard of in this country before, and
hundreds of people will doubtless visit
the well and see the strange sight of
fish coming out of pipe sunk fifty-tive
feet UNDERGROUND The opinion is ex-
pressed that small or large stream
runs underneath the ground, probably
coming from Lake Manitoba. Owing
to the force of the water, it would be
impossible to sink spawn to the bottom
of the well from which the fish might
have originated.
In conversation with an old resident
of Winnipeg recently, it was learned
that similar discovery to that related
above was made in this city about ten
years ago. A we'll was sunk to a con-
siderable depth and small fish came
forth in the water in countless numbers.
1t is a well-known fact that not one
half of the water going into the ASSN
ibOIne river flows out at its mouth. At
Carberry and other points west large
quantities of water work through the
sand along the banks of the river, un-
til it reaches the limestone strata,
along the top of which, it is an assert
ed fact, numerous small streams of
water find their way to this city, about
the depth of the common street well,
and hence the strange discovery above
stated is accounted for Winnipeg
San.

4 COMPLICATED CAsE-The following
are the facts in a case which came up
for trial some time since. A gentleman,
who for convenience We will call 4, made
note payable to B by whom it was
indorsed TO G. The latter wrote upon
the back of the note: "For value re
ceived, / hereby guarantee the payment
Of the within note" and endorsed it to
ID. The Endorsements were all made be
fore the note fell due, and at the date Of
its maturity the maker was solvent. The
note was never paid, and G. heard moth
ing of il until he was srad by d. 1t ap-
peared from the evid apce that at the
time the suit was brought A, the maker,
was iusolvent. The court decided that
b. was released from his obligations be
caue the note had not been presented
for payment ut the proper time. The
single question for consideration was,
therefore, could G. escape by showing
that ID. had been negligent and that 4.
and B, both of whom were primarily re
sponsible, had been discharged by reas.
on of such negligence.
A divided court, held, however, that
G. must pay the note. BY his contract
of guaranty he became absolutely liable
to pay in case the other parties, prior in
point of time, failed to do so. A guar
antor is usually favorite in the courts

The Ideal Newspaper.

This was Prof. Josiah Royce's def
milton of the ideal newspaper:
"a newspaper approaches the ideal,
then, in proportion as it let's its COM
munity see, honestly and accurately,
Just what the real life of the moment
is; that is, in proportion as it makes
its readers actually conscious of the
present world of passion, of suffering,
of effort, and of joy, in which as in an
ocean they pass their lives.
The ideal newspaper, then, tells
the whole significant truth about the
daily life of its community, the honest
and essential truth. But its truth is
confessedly the truth of to-day. Its
outlook is not. eteruity, but "a hours;
and it must needs be interested in
many things that will hereafter appear
trivial and empty. But the test is,
whether the news reporter has told
what for the moment is worth know
ing, as an evidence of the actually sig
niticant human passion of the day"

stamped my feet. and shooed down at
him. But this only enraged him the
more, and, with harsh growls, he
seized upon one of the posts, and by
dint of much slipping and scratching,
got up sufficiently to reach one big paw
over the edge of the floor.
His eyes glared up at me savagely,
and I've no need to say that my nunt-
ing-knife was used for all it was worth
and that was a good deal in such an
emergency.
Then l seized the frying-pan in one
hand, and between thrusts madly be-
labored the great foot, which still hung
to the tablddo.
'tThe onset was so sudden and
fierce that with a deep, grutf howl the
grizzly, whose hold upon the post was
insecure at best, now dropped to the
ground, and sat there minute on his
launches, his mouth open, painting.
"Then, seeming to hate to give up
the game, he made another trial, and
in spite of me, this time got both feet
over the edge.
Il was desperate, and with re-
doubled efforts, thrust my knife at the
creatures neck, and whacked first one
and then the other of the great paws,
bringing the solid pan down with all
my might, and not only across his feet,
but square across his nose.
"Clinging with one powerful paw,
he would make sweeping cuff with
the other, and once tore through my
trowsers-leg long rent.
''At last, with one tremendous
thump, the handle of the frying pan
broke short off and the pan went
whirling off over the ground. One of
my weapons, and very good one, was
gone.

hold on long enough, in the face of
assault, to get up, and with courage |

while, and to my unspeakable relief
