A WASHINGTON correspondent writes John Sherman will undoubtedly have more votes than any other candidate, unless it be Blaine, on the first ballot, yet nobody here regards his nomination even as a re- mote possibility. As to Gresham, the union of the Indiana delegates on General Harrison will probably prevent his nomi- rison men, first, last and always, and they want nothing to do with Gresham. Some of the politicians here say that the nomi- nation of Gresham, after the state has de- clared for Harrison, would be such an affront that Indiana would certainly go Democratic. Then, too, some of the Blaine men are saying that Gresham has been too loyal member of the old stal wart faction, that he does not rise to the Blaine standard in his tariff views, anc that he is winning suspicious praise from mugwump sources. If Gresham can be headed off, it looks as though the Blaine men could bring about the situation they desire, when no nomination but Blaine's will be possible.
 An approximate idea of the amount of manganese contained in steel can be ascer- tained by means of the magnet. A magnet capable of lifting thirty pounds of ordinary steel or iron will only lift few milligrams if the metal contain 20 per cent of manganese So small quantity as 8 per cent. of man. ganese, will nearly neutralize the magnetic attraction.

OUR POLICE FORGE.

ApRoPos of the charge pending against police officer John Byrnes, it might not be out of place to say word about the hardships of police life. In the first place charges against an officer should be.taken, not with a grain but with whole tumbler- full of salt There is in every community certain class, generally composed of those perienced little law, and who, smarting under an alleged wrong, swear vengeance against policeman who had found it his duty to arrest them. They hate the wearer of brass buttons on general principles, and when they do bring charge against an officer, it is usually prompted by malice. For that reason we say the public should be slow to believe all the stories that wicked tongues see fit to put in circulation regarding this or that officer. The com munications we receive from time to time, most of them anonymous, on the subject; and in all of which the spleen of the writer crops out, showing his real animus, is ample proof of what we say. Such an officer was drunk, says one cores pondent, or was seen taking glass of beer this morning. To such charge we have only one answer to make. When off duty an officer is nothing more than common citi- zen, as regards his actions, and if he sees fit to take glass of beer or whiskey for that matter, it is nobody's business. So long as he does nothing to disgrace his uni form nobody should complain. As to the charges against Officer Byrnes we have no opinion to offer, preferring to wait until the evidence has been produced. Then we shall have our little say, and if officer Byrnes is found guilty the DEMOCRAT will not be afraid to say so, but until he is proven guilty we prefer to look upon him as a faithful officer.

Ohio Centennial Opened.

COLUMBUS, O., September 4.-The Ohio
Centennial Exposition opened this morn.
ing. The city was profusely decorated.
The streets were crowded with visitors to
the great agricultural, mechanical and
stock show at the fair grounds. Six
thousand Ohio militia paraded this
morning and were received by Governor
Foraker. The Governor will start the
machinery this afternoon.
The immense amphitheatre in which
the exercises were held was crowded
when Governor Foraker began the ex-
ercises by requesting the singing of the
"Doxology," the large audience being
led by welltrained choir of l, ,450 chill
dren. The first chorus was Centennial
song. which gave an account of the pros
perity of the State and Nation. Director
General Hurst then presented the work
of the Centennial Commission to Gov
ernor Foraker, who in strong speech
presented it to the public. Hon. Coates
Kinney, the author of the well-known
poem, "Rain on the Roof" read the Cen
tennial ode, which considered the past
hundred years in labor, knowledge, free
dom and peace, and was full of good
points. Mrs. Governor Foraker touched
the electric button and started the
machinery, and the Ohio centennial was
under way.

FARMINGToN, Me-, September 4.-Hon.
James G. Blaine addressed an audience
here to-day speaking principally upon
the tariff. Abiding to the prohibition
question, he said "Maine for the last
thirty-seven years has been under Pro.
hibitory laws, but we have party now
coming in and telling us in effect that
Maine had better not pay any attention
to Prohibition until we can organize a
National party, and we can suspend tenn
perance in Maine, practically till we con-
vert Texas aud Alabama. That is pre-
cisely what this National Prohibition party
means, for those who talk frankly avow
that they intend to defeat the Republican
party and bring the Democratic party
into power as temperance movement,
and this Prohibition party, outside Of
Prohibition, is entering into partnership
with the Democratic party to defeat the
Republicans, if that were possible, in
Maine; to elect that sanity embodiment
of Prohibition and temperance, David B.
Hill, Governor of New York, and all
over the country to stab the Republican
party in the back and in the dark, in
order, they say, that the Democratic
party shall be brought into power. Then
there will be a reaction against the Dem
ocrats, and by some political process, OF
which the workings are not yet apparent,
the National Prohibitionists will come
into power. Fellow-c citizens, the Repub-
licans of Maine have worked many years
in and for temperance reform, and will
not turn back from the good cause.

Pythias appeared at the Coroner's office
this afternoon and requested inquiry into
the case of their deceased brother, Char
les B. Folsom, who died last Saturday.

every reason to believe that poison was
being given him, mixed with medicine.
The body was exhumed this afternoon
Immediately after burial, and an autopsy
will be held. The physician who atten.
ed Folsom signed death certificate, at
tributing his death to heart disease. The
motive for the poisoning, if poisoning
there was, is said to have been desire
to secure possession of Folsom's IS property
of which he had considerable.

The President has sent the following
nomination to the Senate: Chas. E.
Boyle, of Pennsylvania, to be Chief Jus.
tice of the Supreme Court of the Terri
tory Of Washington.
Senator Sherman's bill directed against
trusts has been considered by the Senate
Committee on Finance. No action was
taken. The tenor of remarks, however,
indicates the approval of the general
principles of the measure by the COM
mittee.
The Secretary OF the Treasury to-day
directed the forfeiture of the contract
with E. F. Goebel, of Chicago, for the
construction of postoffice building at
Brooklyn, and the forfeiture also of
$1,000, which accompanied his bid. This
action is based on the failure of the con-
tractor to furnish security in the sum of
500, 900 for the performance Of the work.
is IT FACT?
Senator Cullom's resolution of inquiry
offered and adopted by the Senate to-
day, calling upon the Secretary of War
for information as to whether the st.
Clair Flats canal lies in whole or in part
in Canadian Territory, is based upon un-
official, but trustworthy information,
which has come to him as chairman of
the committee to investigate our CONNER
cial relations with Canada. Though the
resolution refers only to the st. Clair
Flats canal, the Senator has information
which leads to grave suspicion that the
Detroit river, near Amhestburg, and the
Sault Ste Marie canal are also in part in
Canadian Territory fact, if it be a fact,
which has an incidental bearing upon the
matter of retaliation.

as they passed up Pennsylvania avenue.

thousands, the General said

been shown tonight by my old comrades
