A NEW feature Of the controversy re-
garding the statement made by Harrison
that one dollar day was pay enough for
workingmen, is now before the public.
1t is said that the utterance can not hurt
Harrison in Indiana for the reason that
there are thousands of workingmen in
that state who do not get one dollar per
day and who would jump at the chance
if offered.

THE nomination of t. E. Ryan of Wau-
kesha for Attorney General, gives Mr..
Estabrook most formidable opponent,
as the former is also the nominee of the
labor party and is said to be a popu-
lar man and very brilliant lawyer. But
Bob Schilling insists he must quit the
labor ticket and as he manages the labor
party he will be obeyed. 1t is thought
his object is not so much to save Esta-
brook from possible defeat as it is to
create breach between the labor and
democratic parties SO as to prevent Con-
gresham Smiths nomination by the
latter and thus give the republicans a
chance to carry the Milwaukee district.

A GENTLEMAN from Illinois, a republi-
can, who spent few days in this city
last week, has been travelling through
Michigan and made the acquaintance of
some lumber barons. He says number
of them lately made large purchases of
pine in Canada and that every one who
has done so wants lumber placed on the
free list. Before the purchases were
made these men, on their own admission,
were protectionists. He found that those
who had not pushed their business into
Canada were still in favor of the tax on
imported lumber

T. E. RYAN has been forced off the labor

T. E. RYAN has been forced off the labor
ticket. This puts Mr.. Estabrook on a
level with his colleagues on the republi-
can ticket and now he will win or go
down with the others. The removal of
Ryan's name from the ticket was made
by the labor state central committee and
without much doubt by direction of the
republican state central committee. The
latter were perfectly justified in doing
this and in fact owed it to Mr.. Estabrook.
DR.. Powell, Bob Schilling and the repub-
lican state central committee work to-
gether tremendously.

The Presidents letter of acceptance
has appeared and republican organs find
regret on the part of the President, in
every line. But the comments on the
letter smell musty; they bear indisput
able evidence of having been preconceiv-
ed, 1t would be absurd to expect impair
tial judgment from organs SO obsequious-
ly attached to the party leaders. Cleve-
land approves Of the platform on which
he was nominated. That platform, his
opponents have said, inclines too strong
the letter newspapers accuse the author
of expressing regret and offering apology
for free-trade. He believes as firmly
as ever in reducing the surplus,
but his critics say he believes that his
annual message over-estimated its mag
nitude. Political criticism among re-
publicans is in a peculiar situation. Par
ty leaders start out with the presump-
ton that it is their function to find fault.
Indifferent to positions previously taken
they rush headlong into the grossest in
constituencies. In the annual message
the reduction of the surplus was the
principal theme. Recognizing the ne
cessity for such a measure republican
statesmen of local and national reputa-
| tions set ahoat theories for the solution
Of the problem. The senate has beer
under travail for months in vain at
tempt to deliver a measure conceived
without generalization and which will
eventually see light as hideous, abor-
tive monstrosity. The republican plat
form proposes to solve the difficulty by re-
moving the tax from the poor mans
poisonous cup. The same document dis
countenances trusts, while the high priest
himself, JAS. G. Blaine, thunders forth,
as soon as he returns from his European
trip, the suicidal statement that trusts
should remain unassailed by President or
congress.
The reduction of the surplus is what
the democracy undertakes. This
is free-trade our opponents say notwith-
standing that they acknowledge its ne
cessity themselves. The democracy, its
platform, and the utterances of its can
didate are all in perfect harmony and the
course pursued has been consistent
throughout. The republicans are wholly
at sea. Their platform defines their ideas

platform into confusion, and the republi-

MANITowoC did rather an unwise thing

MANITowoC did rather an unwlse thing
on Thursday last at the congressional
convention when it was found Mr.. Villas
could not be nominated. There was no
good reason why the delegates should
have united upon man from Sheboygan
who at the outset had no more votes than
Mr.. Pierpont, and there is very poor sat
isfaction in beating Hudd with Sheboy-
gan county man. There was no good
purpose to be served in beating Mr.. Hudd
by any but man from Manitowoc. This
county owes Sheboygan nothing and does
not owe Mr.. Hudd that enmity which
would justify union of forcss with She
boygan to pull Mr.. Hudd down and build
Sheboygan up. The delegates were
didacy and any combination which they
could make in his interest would be per-
fectly iustitiable. To that extent they
should fight Mr.. Hudd to the death. But
when their candidate voluntarily quit the
field, the fight against Hudd should not
have been continued in the line of per-
sonal opposition. 1t was unjust to him
and does not fairly represent the senti-
ment of the people toward him. Mr..
Hudd could have carried this county
against any but home man and perhaps
Mr.. Seaman Of Sheboygan. He cour-
teously refrained from making any con-
test in the county and was slaughtered
by delegates who had no grounds for per-
sonal hostility and no reason to be favor
ably inclined toward Sheboygan man.
Manitowoc has put itself in such a
position that she can ask for nothing
while the district remains as it is. The
kewaunee delegates swear vengeance,
Calumet is angry, Brown has reason to
be so if she is not and Sheboygan is ira
ditionally opposed to Manitowoc. From
the action of the delegates it would ap-
pear as if their purpose was not SO much
to nominate Villas as to defeat Hudd.
They have succeeded in doing one thing
more, viz, have made it impossible to
nominate a Manitowoc man for congress
from the Fifth district for years to come.

The Echo Maker.

The popular Science Monthly de- scribes a curious and ingenious device called "The Echo Maker" to bo used on ships at sea. A flaring funnel is screwed to the muzzle of rife. When sup posed obstacle is near tho vessel, the rife is fired in its direction, and if tho obstacle is there the beam of sound pro- jccted through the funnel strikes tho obstacle and rebounds, and as the echo is moro or less perfect ia proportion as the obstacle is moro or less parallel to the ship from which the gun is fired, and as it is near or remote, tho position of the obstacle may be inferred. The inventor claims that sharp sound pro- jcctcd at or nearly at m object, and n ly when so directed, will in every case return some of the sound sent, SO that, theoretically, thero will always bo an echo, and the difference In the time be- tween tho sound sent and the echo, will indicate the remoteness of tho object. The Naval Boarl tried the echo maker and found that return sound could be heard from tho side of a fort half a milo away; from passing steamers a quarter of mile off if broad side too; from bluffs and sails of vessels at about tho same distance, and from spar buoys 200 yards away.

An Ancient Texas Town.

The oldest town in Texas and, it is believed, in tho United States, is Ysleta, situated on the Rio Grande and near Fl Paso. It has population of 25o0 souls. The place is one of peculiar interest, aliko from It's age, people, architecture, agriculture and general products. It is a w,ll-esta blished historical fact that Q Spanish military explorer named Coran- do visited the town in 1540 and found it then populous and prosperous civil lzcd Indian community. He was im- mcdiately followed by tho Franciscan friars, who erected a church and estab- lished schools Ysleta is believed to havo been a considerable centre of pop ulation centuries before Corando's visit. -[Ncw York World.

The Name of Gladstone.

'I saw Mr. Gladstone once at a gar den party, wherc he was lionizcd to an extent that is unknown in America" writes Blakely Hall in tho New York Sun. Everywhere he went, droves of people followed him. Whom he began a conversation with any one, all the sur rounding crowd stretched forward as if their lives depended upon hearing every word he uttered. In power or out, up or down, successful or unsuccessful, Gladstone is the one prominent and majestic figure among his countrymon to-day. To say that he is tho forcm ost man in England is to put it very mildly. He is ot so much importance that the mention of Gladstono's name among a group of sombre Britons in railroad carriage, smoking room, or club in any part of the kingdom, will set tho crowd agog In Q fashion wonderful to behold. The namo is flaming menace and a terror to stupidity and silence. have often amused myself, when travelling through England, by simply uttcring his namo and observing the results. It was enough to set tho most taciturn of fellow travellers in transport of volu- bility; and tho result was always a long lecture on political events brought to a close by violent attacks on the grand old man, sti5matizing him as every thing that was vile and treacherous. or elso long culogy of the most glowing and exalted nature."

Test for Lard AdulteratiOnS

The United States Agricultural D. partment has discovered simple test by which any shop keeper can detect adulteration in lard. The experiment is as follows: As much lard as can bo taken up on the point of pocket knife is placed in tea cup. About quarter of an ounce of sulphuric acid i, placed upon it, and the two substances mixed. If the lard is puro it will coagulate, and thcro will be little difficulty in uniting it with the acid. If it is adulterated with cottonseed oil or stcarine, the mix . ture will tako place imme diutely and easily. The substance is then poured into a common te,t tube. Tue acid, somewhat colored, will sink to the bottom, while the fatty matter will re- main on top. If the lard thus tested was pure, its color will bo light sponge, changing slowly to a dark cinnamon tint. If it has been adulterated with cottonsced oil the color at first will be darker, changing immediately to a deep brown. Tho differences in the hues arc SO marked that A mistake can- not be made il tho analysis. -[New York Press.

He added that Chester M. Smith pays the department $35o weekly for the privilege of Trimming" tho city ash and garbage scows. His 'trim- mers'' glean bottles, bones, rags and tho like from the mass of ashes and gar- bage. -.-.
 The labor for trimming the scows is furnished by the contractor, which is a saving to the department of at least $500 per week. The present contractor, who has only recently had the privilege, proposes to make innovations on the old hand methods, and with the aid of ma chinery to cloan and wash in hot water and disinfect the products. At the foot of E,st Seventeenth street he, with a number of associates, has been engaged for six ycars at an expenditure of $100,- 900, in pcrfccting a Separator" and ''crematory," in tho former of which ingenious machinery separates the mixed refuse into its component parts of clean ashes, useful for filling behind lulkheads; coal and cinders, tomato cans, bottles, bones, rags and garbage, which last composes about one-half of the mass.

The Vnlue of Advertising.

Everybody ha, heard of Frank Millet. He paints pictures and writes magazine articles in times of peace, but when war is ''on' he becomes ''war corre- spou dcut," and is likely to turn up in the Soudan, the Transvaal or the Bal kaus. But there was time when he was not k2own. He sont pictures to ex- hibitions, to be sure, and good ones, but no ono paid any particular attention to them or said anything about them. One day he conceived an idea. He painted picture of lady in black sit- ting on a bright red sofa standing against vivid yellow background. The effect was just a triflc startling. Friends who saw it in process of production ex- postul,ted with him, and asked what he was going to do with it. They were simply astounded when he unccd that he was going to send it to the cx- hil ition. They labored with him, but in vain. They told him th.t the critics would 'wipo tho floor" with him. "They can't do that without mention ing me-" said Frank, quietly, 'and they've never even dono that yet" To the exhibition the picture went. It killed everything within twenty feet on either sido of it. You couldn't help looking at it. It simply knocked you down and held you there. The critics got into towering passion over it. They wrote whole columns about it. They exhau ted tho English language in abusing it. They ridlculed the com mittee that permitted it to Do lung. They had squibs and gibes about it, lut every timo they spoke of it they men, toned Frank Millet. Ho suddenly be- came tho best known artist in town. Somebody, because of tho stir that it had made, bought the picture at good price, and removed it to the seclusion of his own homo. When the next cxhi- bition came off Frank had another pie ture ready, one of very different sort, and vcry good, lut no better than others which had been exhibited be- fore. The critics had much to say about it, and "notcd with pleasure the marked improvement" that MT. Millct had made, ''an evidence" as they mod estly put it, "of the value of criticism, even though severe, to young artist" And majority of them never saw that Frank had simply compelled their at- tention by clover trick. -lBoston Herald,
