An intelligent physician said % me

the subject very carefully and was con-
WINGED that il would be- well for every
house to keep rs own fire extinguisher.
and it could be easily done II would
certainly be invaluable tc persons living
in the country and far removed even from
neighbors. The doctor then told me
that he would give me the exact
recipe Of the solution now used In
the fire cxtinguishors now being offered
for sale: Take twenty pounds of common
salt and ten pounds Of sal ammonia,
(muriate Of ammonia, 10 be had OF any
druggist and dissolve in seven gallons
of water. When dissolved it can be bot
tied and kept in each room in the house,
to be used in an emergency. In case Oh
a fire occurring, one or two bottles should
be immediately thrown with force into
the burning place so as to break them,
and the fire will certainly be extinguished.
This is an exceeding simple process, and
certainly worth trial. We giveit, hop

Colonel Dudley will be remembered as
the head of the "Soap" canvass in lndi-
ana in 1880, and now as the author OF the
Doodle letter he has almost superseded
Lord Sackville as popular "snide "
The alleged Doodle letter to the Indiana
Republican committeeman is the upper
most political topic, and while the Re
publican papers profess TO accept as true
Mr.. Dudley's denial of its genuineness,
yet it is plain that they remember the
charges brought against him and his
management of the Indiana canvass in
1880. and this "Reminiscences makes them
fearful of the effect of the new indict-
ment upon the hesitating voters every
where. The denial is not explicit enough
TO relieve the party management of the
odium of systematic attempt at cor
ruption, and 50 the matter stands to-
day-iust forty eight hours before the
election.

There are certain freaks Of ambition,
especially among Republicans. A
theory of accidents prevails to bring
men TO the front There are Quay and
SNYDER, and now comes Dudley, whose
"boo lie" letter is left by its authori only
half denied. He remains as supposed
corruptor Of voters, and If bis Work
did his party good it is all
undone by the discovery OF the
plan of corruption, and it makes lndi-
ana quite certain for the Democrats.
Tie suit against the New York Wor'd
does the Republicans no good, Tor what
the honest Republicans expected was a
ststemen. under oath from Colonel Dud-
lev that he did not organize a plan for
bribing voters and prostituting the bal
lot-box. 1t is easy for Dudley to make
that statement unless bis guilty mouth
fears to kiss the book with the uttsrance
of fssehood.

HARRrsoN's FAMILY TREE.-Mr. Blaine
has recently exploited the inherited
claims of Ben. Harrison that show he
ought 10 be elected Presiden. by right OF
birth. and the New York Times cites the
following as one of the points to be
noted;
in the House Of Representatives, on
the 9Th Of February, 1903, Mr.. William
Henry Harrison. president of conyen-
ton of the Territory of Indiana, com
municated to the body through the
Speaker the memorial of said convention

Randolph was chairman, decided that II
was inexpedient TO do it."
LORD SACKvILLE's SUccEssoR.-Con-
corning the possibility of Mr.. Herberts
appointment the Herald says: Mr. Her
bert has been in the English diplomatic
service long enough to give him both ex-
perience and sufficient rank. de was for
some years atlache IN Paris, and there
showed himself man Of tact and good
sense. He served under a skilful chief in
Paris, Lord Lyons, who was SO successful
British Minister at Washington also,
and was then transferred to Washington.
He has been in this country long enough
to give him experience of the work of bis
Legation, and, what is hsp9ier thing for
him. to win a most charming American
girl for his bride, whom he is presently to
marry.
"It has been thought good policy by
several governments TO place and retain
as heads of their legations in Washington
gentlemen who had been sufficiently sue
cessful diplomatists to win American
wives. and whom these alliances made all
the more useful to their own countries"

INDIANA FOR CLEyEIASD.-The can
yass in this State is now ended. II has
been the most extraordinary since 1910.
Blaine, Foraker, Hovey and a hundred
lesser Republican orators have preached
protection in the towns and home mar
ket" I'D aduSedm TO the farmers Thur
man, Carlisle, Hill, Watson. Gray and
many others have discussed the great is
sue which President Cleveland presented
TO the country in December last. With
the monster parades 20 take place here in
indianapolis Saturday night, November
3, each side will have exhausted itself.
/ he latest polls taken show that the
Democrats have the strongest hold
on the "floats," and that they
have succeeded, despite the personal
efforts of General Harrison and Messrs.
Dudley, Huston, jarrett. Litchman and
Lot Wright of Cincinnati in hauling
majority of the "uncertsins into safe
water. With a vote of $4,000, including
first voters, the best Republican poll has
not exceeded 246, 900. In which they have
appropriated nearly the whole of the la
Dor and prohibition vote Chairman Hus-
tons figures are perfectly well known by,
Chairman Jeweit. With all the United
States marshals and organizations ON the
Democratic side and endless Doodle in

and determined until the polls close on
Tuesday. But there seems little chance OF

The series of extempore speeches
delivered by Lincoln while on his
way from Springfield to Washington
in the Spring of 1861, and the re-
markable speeches made by Blaine
in the campaign of 1884, are being
paralleled by the addresses of Gener-
al Harrison, since his nomination in
July. Indeed, in one respect the
present remarkable series made by
the Republican standard bearer sur
pass those of both Lincoln and Blaine,
in that they are read by so MANY
more people. General Harrison is
accomplishing as much for himself,
for the ticket, for Repubicanism and
for the country by remaining at home
as did Lincoln and Blaine by travel.

The Feature of This CAMPAIGN.

When the political Chronicer of
the future comes TO write of the Ma
tional Campaign of 1888 he will of
course record the circumstance of the
Mills Bill, and the message out of
which it grew, and the campaign is
sues that in turn grew out of it. He
will put down the fact of the surplus,
the temperance question, civil SER
vice reform. the Chinese restriction
act and the Canada retaliation meas
ures.
Going more infinitely into party
details, he will probably note the
Florence and Paris letters of Mr..
Blaine and the equally positive and
even more positive declarations of
Mr.. Childs, He will also say that
Mr.. Cleveland was the unanimous
choice of his party for denomination,
and that, strict Civil Service Reform
err that Mr.. Curtis and Mr.. Godkin
tells us he is, he did not scruple to
violate his own civil service reform
order. A partisan who turned his
official utterances into electioneering
pleas would hardly be put down by
impartial historians as merely often.
sive, Mr.. Cleveland outdid the of.
fensive partisan by becoming wholly
partisan, and managing his own re-
nomination and reelection cam
paigns.
1t is just possible also that the fu-
ture McMaster, if he be the close
searcher that the present McMaster
is, may quote from the newspaper
files, the fact that some $4,000. 900
of Government money were placed
out in favored banks who used it for
private gain, without paying the
public, to whom it belonged, any,
thing for The use of it. We say he
may note this.
But the one striking feature of the
campaign of 1883, that the future DO
itical chronicler cannot and will not
ignore, is the part that General Ben
jamin Harrison played in it. No
nominee of any party was ever nam
ed under so many favorable auspices
and conditions, and no nominee ever
so steadily grew in the estimation If
every body. during an exciting DO.
litical campaign. General Harrison,
we'll thought of at first. has marched
from the round of mere respectable
notoriety. to the top OF the ladder of
fame. There was never anything
like it. He has not gone back, around
nor has he for one day stood still.
He has done all this upon merit.
His life and character have been
searched and studied. His mind, his
temperament and his determination
have been weighed in scales that had
no bias in his favor. He has not been
found wanting. Indeed, he has borne
his side down, and has kept it down,
by the weight of his one worth as a
man. The steady growth of General
Harrison in the hearts OF the people
is the unique feature of the Campaign
at 1888, and the future chronicler
must either so record it or come
down from his doomsday-book pre-
tensions.
