ecutive COmmitte therefore 1t would
only be an attempt to break rp
the vicinity Of the party, without the
hope of reward. Is the Democrat
willing to take the risk of damaging
the Democratic ticket one single vote
by a primary without the least hope
of reward?
If SO we have been greatly mis-
taken in the temper aud politics of
that paper. Common sense should
teach any man that an independent
primary would amount to no prima-
ry at all, and a Democratic newspa-
per that has the interest of it's party
at heart, will take no stock, in any
such scheme.
The low can't and approbrious Ian
guage used in the Democrat towards
the executive committee in those two
ssang-whanging columns of editorial
is certainly supremely disgusting to
retiHed sensibilities.

tsnfounded course it trieste shift the
kicking Off on the people and Demo-
Gratis, saying the people, the Demo-
Gratis, demand thus and so. That is
altogether mistake a mere subter-
fnge of the Democrat, the people are
disposed to be quiet, and leave the
Legislature to do it's whole duty in
electing U. S. Senate, but for the
snarling complaints and vitupera-
tions OF the Democrat. Just here /

TWO THOUSAND EMPLOYEES WILL
JOIN THE STRIKERS TO-DAY.
Not Car win Then Run-The Police

Run Through without Passen-
gers In the Afternoon.

| CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 11.-Bonfires
were built on the North Side tracks
at Market and Oak streets at mid
night last night. DIR. Anderson, who
lived near, demonstrated and struck
one of the mob with cane and fed.
The mod Immediately tore all the
loose lumber from his premises, us
ing it for fuel. Several arrests were
made by the police, but the leaders
escaped. At Market and Sigel streets
the earth was removed from the
tracks, the ties soaked with kerosine
and burned. One of the leaders of
this mob was A. Saunders, one of
the company's imported men from
Philadelphia. He was arrested and
tried before Justice Kersten this
morning. His case was continued to
the 10th inst, under a $500 bond.
A committee from the board of di-
rectors of the strikers called on Capt.
Aldrich this morning and stated that
they would respond promptly when
called upon to assist in suppressing
the rioters. The mayor had issued
proclamation requesting the citizens
not to congregate on the streets and
declaring that order will be pre-
served.
A riot occurred at Warren avenue
about noon. AT that hour bus load
of new men were being taken to the
Western avenue barns when volley
Of rocks was poured into them at
Warren avenue. The police, who
guarded them front and rear, left the
patrol wagons and with drawn revol.
vers faced the crowd which now sur
rounded the bus. Many were badly
beaten and blood flowed freely.
Eight leaders were arrested. The
mob made a most stubborn resist
ance, and after being once beaten
back rallied and rushed for the bus
again. A second attack was made by
the police, who used their clubs right
and left and finally succeeded in scat
tering the crowd. -h
Two cars guarded front and rear
by police in patrol wagons, left the
Western avenue barns at o'clock.
Five hundred armed police were
scattered along Madison street from
Western avenue to State street, and
thousands of people were along the
sides of the street to witness the an
ticipated trouble. But aside from an
occasional stone or piece of hard
wood thrown at the cars, no attempt
was made to interfere. The trip was
made in safety and the cars returned
to the barn. That no attempt at vio-
lence was made is due to the fact that
the police were armed, and it was un-
derstood they would use their weap-
ons If necessity arose. An apparent
ly well founded runner has been in
circulation all the afternoon that the
of the South Side Line
would strike within twenty-four
hours unless settlement is
reached. These lines reach to Hyde
Park, Englewood and other fashion
able suburbs, and need 1900 men.
If they strike there will not be a
,treet-ear running in the city of
Chicago.
Julius Kaberburg, striking con-
luctor on the north side, was arrested
his afternoon on the charge of
placing dynamite on the Sedgewick
street lines.

Disheartened Already.

The Democrats are talking verv braveIy.
but there is good reason to believe that they
have very serious apprehension as to the out
come OF the campaign. A gentleman who
holds the closest relations to the Dem ocratic
leaders says OF the conference which Mr. Bar
mum reluctantly consented to resume his
place as the chairman of the Democratic Ia.
tional committee:
Mr.: Barnum was very anxious not to be
the chairman. This was due not only to his
age, to his long service and to the demands
which his private business make

campaign upon the issue as presented Heis.
moreover. very apprehensive as to the result,
and 1T is known to some ofhisintimate friends
that for these among other reasons he does
not enter upon the campaign with any heart.
1t was found, however, when the committee
met here to select their chairman that Cor
man would not accept the place, and that
Scott would not, and the position was, in a
measure, thrown back upon Barnum Mr.
Barnum, happen to know. enters upon the
campaign in a very half-hearted manner
Whatever he may say in the public prints He
is fearful of the effect of the discussion of the
Mills bill upon the wage workers of New York.
New Jersey and Connecticut. and he knows
very well that the Democrats must carry both
New York and New Jersey if they are to sue
coed in the5election. He himself is as much
opposed TO the policy of the Mills bill and
the free trade plank in the Democratic plat
form as Mr.. Randall is; but he yielded to the
wishes OF the other Democratic leaders and
accepted his old place. The fact that the
Democrats have insisted that Mr. Barnum, a
radical Democratic protectionists, shall con-
duct the campaign upon the free trade
basis is an Illustration of the extremity to
which the Democratic party is reduced It is
difficult to see how Mr.. Barnum, holding the
views as to protection which he does, can
successfully conduct such acampaign.
Mr.. Randall is not talking for publicetion
to any one, but tits known that in recent
private conferences with some of his more
intimate friends he has expressed the opinion
that Mr.. Cleveland will most certainly be de-
teated, and the party cannot hope to win

Hygiene of Old Age.

The teeth in old age are, OF course,
lost, and they should, unless, under
exceptional circumstances, be replaced
by artificial teeth, for the thorough
chewing Of food is even more necessary
IN the old than in the young, because
in the old the digestive powers are apt
to fail. With the best artificial teeth
mastication is apt to be imperfectIy
performed; hence the food of the aged
should be soft and readily comminut-
ed, and especially should it be Of easy
digestion. Very few old people need
stimulating diet; very many are iniur-
ed by an excess ofnitrogenous food.
The kidneys, like all other organs, are
feeble, and if meats and other rich
foods are used in excess, they greatly
increase the strain upon these organs.
Milk and milk products or prepara-
lions OF breadstuffs cooked with milk
should form very large proportion Of
the food of the ordinary aged individ-
ual but neutrality-suspicious. differ so
much that personal medical counsel
should IN all cases be taken so that
the diet may be regulated to the
needs of the individual case. Yery
many old people are hurt by the use
OF food IN excessive quantity; but lit
tie exercise can be taken, all growth
has ceased, and the bodily furnaces
which make heat are able to DESTROY
but very little Of food fuel. Some lit
tie time since / had occasion to lecture
on this subject at the Philadelphia
Hospital, and an assertion that I
then made that most old people are
more comfortable, enjoy better health.
and probably live longer for the use OF
vine, has met with very severe disap-
probation at the hands Of some of the
profession, whose strong sympathy
With the temperance movement domi.
mates their Judgment. No valid rea-
sons have, however, so far as my iudg-
ment goes, been brought forward
to lead me to change my
opinion. In the overfed Anleri-
can people the habitual use of wine
during youthful or middle age and
vigorous health is, we thlnk, aniniury
rather than a good; but when the
powers OF life are failing, when diges-
ton is weak, and the multitudinous
small ills OF feebleness perplex and an
noy, one or two glasses of generous
Vine at dinner aid digestion, quiet for
hetlme being much nervous irritation,
and in no way do harm The sum
total OF ruin wrought by alcohol in
the world is appalling but it is not
lessened by our shutting our eyes to
the good that vine properly used may
achieve. When in the aged there is
q distinct failure OF vital power, and
especially OF digestive power, the call
for the habitual use Of alcoholic
liquors is, IN my opinion, imperative.
The danger of the formation Of any
evil habits when a man has crossed
the line Of seventy is so slight that the
most conscientious physician need
not hesitate in recommending the
daily use Of alcoholic beverages to his
patient. DR.. Ii. G. Wood, IN Annals

An Ingerson "Reminiscences.

The Capital gives an interesting ac-
count which it states was obtained
from Ingersoll himself ofthe prepera-
ton OF that gentleman's remarkable
speech nominating Blaine at Cincin-
natl IN 1875. According to the Capt.
tai when Col. Bob went out to Cincln-
natl, accompanied by his brother,
Ebon G., who was then practicing law
IN Washington, he had not the slight
est intention of making any speech
whatever in the convention. Two
days before the nominating speeches
were to be made he was asked by
Blaine's friends to make the speech
putting Blaine in nomination. At
first he declined, but finally yielded to
their persuasions. He had two days
to think over the points and prepare
his speech, but Cincinnati was lively in
those days, and when Ingersoll went
to bed at midnight of the second day
he had not written a line. He SAYS
he slept soundly until about 2 o clock
IN the morning, when be aWoke with
q feeling that he had had a. nights
rest. His mind was clear, his facul-
ties active. He said to himself that
the time had come to prepare that
speech. He got up softly and went IN.
to the next room, where the gas was
burning dinaly, dressed, sat down,
/ closed his eyes and pictured to him
self the convention as he would see it
the next day. He imagined himself
rising to address it when the state Of
Illinois was called, and then and there
he thought out the speech exactly, he
says, as he delivered it on the next
day. When he had finished it he open
ed his eyes, turned up the gas and
sat down and wrote it out and put
the manuscript in a bureau drawer,
turned down the gas, went to bed and
slept the sleep OF contentment.
1t was about q, o'clock when he turn
ed In the second time. It was proba-
bly, 8 o'clock when he felt his brother
tugging at him to get up and go to
work on that speech. The colonel
leased his brother a little by pretend
ing great Incidence and indisposition
to get up. After a while he saw that
his brother was deeply affected and
he rolled out, dressed and said to
Ebon:
"You don't think / have done any
thing about that speech, do your"
NO" said his brother, II know
you have not, for you have been out
constantly day and night
"Well now" said the colonel, 'ssup-
pose you sit down over there aud lis
ten to my speech" And standing up
in the opposite corner Of the room he
delivered his speech to his audience Of
ohe just as he delivered it a few hours
later to the great convention. His
bfother listened critically at first, and
then, carried away bythe colonepselo-
quence, he listened enthusiastically.
AS thee olonel drew to a close his broth
er rose to his feet and, as the last
sentence fell from his lips, rushed for.
ward and threw his arms around the
coloneps neck, and then they went
down to breakfast.
