New York Sun: The State Of New York
is not only Democratic, but the most Demo
cratic Of the States Of the North, and fur
thermore, the chances of Harrison and
Morton are to be regarded as hopeless II
New York 10 to be relied upon to elect them.
Brooklyn Cttfzen: Ex-Candidate Alger de-
mics that he bought any of Mr. Sherman's
"coons" at the Chicago convention. The
chagrined Michigan lumber king will DENY
directly that he had any aspirations for the
Presidency at all, or that he laid out one
dollar on his boom.
LOUISVILLE COurter-Jotundl: The New York
tribune makes merry over the fact that nu-
merous bull calves, Of the finest stock have
been named Grover Cleveland. Nobody
seems to be naming any thing Ben Harrl-
son. In fact, Mr.. Harrison appears To be
quite unknown this year.
Belleville Democrat: The iron barons do
not want free raw materials as long as they
can have free labor. Whenever the trade be-
comes unsatisfactory their first and last
impulse Is to cut down wages. Still they
claim to lie awake nights grieving over the
misfortunes Of the poor working man.

The Indictment Pr,.,nt.d.

That the subject of the tariff has come be-
fore the people as a National issue in the
present campaign Is due to the directing
hand of President Cleveland. He set about
reducing the revenues many months ago.
and has kept that object in view with sinPu-
lar steadfastness. Satisfied that the reforms
he advocates are right he has taught them
to his party, and has forced it and its oppon-
ent 20 carry their differences on that Ques-
tion 20 the court Of the people. He knows
that his side Of the case is the stronger and
he is willing and anxious to let the Ameri-
can voters judge him from that important
standpoint.
In a letter written to the Tammany society
OF New York, after declining to be present
at the society's Fourth of July celebration,
the President takes up the subject of the
tariff. He is so much in earnest that he
can not leave it out of sight. 1.-THE tribute
exacted from the people," he declares,
"must be diminished" He arraigns the
opponents Of tariff reform in this vigorous
way:
They advocate system which benefits
certain classes Of our citizens at the ex-
pense of every householder in the land-a
system which breeds discomfort because
1t permits the duplication Of wealth without
corresponding additional recompense to la
Dor, which prevents the opportunity to work
by sitting production and limiting the area
OF the markets, and which enhances the
cost Of living beyond the laborer's hard
earned wages"
There Is clear statement of the evils Of
the war tariff. The advocates of tariff re-
| form believe those various charges to be
strictly true. Clearly, then, unless they
are mistaken, the tariff ought to be reduced.
They invite the fullest investigation of the
matter by all voters.
Let the investigators bear in mind-for it
will render their judgment impervious to
the sophistry of the high tariff people, who
claim to be the chosen friends of labor
that the wages Of worling-men are univer-
sally gauged by the supply of labor, and
not by the profits Of employers.

JOE SMITHS MIRACLES.
He Pretended to Raise an Alleged Dead
Man, But Killed Him.

He Pretended to Raise Alleged Dead
Man, But Killed Him.
A man who knew Joseph Smith says in
the St. Louis Gisbe-D Democrat: Joseph Smith,
the Mormon prophet, was great humbug.
When was a small boy, living at Keokuk,
he had great following in that section of
the country. One day he announced that
he would walk the water like Christ did of
old; so the night preceding he laid planks
on q scaffolding which was erected under
the waters surface. On the day following
hundreds Of people gathered at the river
bank to witness the great performance.
Smith walked about twenty feet, when sud-
denly he fell with splash and went
under. 1t was with difficulty that he
was rescued from drowning. An in
vestigation which followed showed that
one Of the props had been re-
moved by some practical joker, who knew
how Smith had intended to fool the people.
About three days later, Smith, who thought
he ought to redeem himself announced that
he would raise the dead. On the same day
that this announcement was made, prom
inent Mormon elder conveniently went
through the form Of death and burial; but
1t was only trick to deceive the people
The elder was placed in o prepared grave,
which was furnished with food, water and
small tube through which the air could
reach the cavity below. Three days later
Smith and large number of curious people
repaired to the grave, and the prophet again
tried his powers of imitation. He called,
but there was no answer. II was miser-
able failure, and the people were on the
point Of lynching Smith. The grave was
dug up and the Mormon elder was found
dead A closer examination developed that
rain had caused the tube TO be filed with
mud, and the Mormon had died Of suffoca-

HusRANDRY HINTS.

INDUSTRY, perseverance and economy are
the elements OF success in any calling, par
ticularly so in agriculture.
THERE is no reason why the farmer can
not stand on level with his brothers in
other callings, intellectually, in this age Of
cheap editions Of good literature.
THE man has not yet turned up who, at
harvest, blamed himself for cultivating the
crop too well, or in his old age regretted
that he had not indorsed for friend oftener.
FoR the first meal to little chickens q
prominent poultryman recommends boiled
eggs chopped fine, shells and all, with
baked corn cake crumbled into scalded milk.
MANY believe that corn has q higher nu-
tritive value if cut when the grain Is well
formed. DR.. Collier has made more than
100 analysis Of corn fodder in all stages of
growth, which proves that the fodder &C
tually increases in nutritive value until the
ears shall have become ripe
THERE is no fixed ratio of gain In stock.
In all experiments that have been made it
has been demonstrated that even with ami
NAL Of the same age and breed, fed alike
and given equal advantages, each individual
differed from the other in the weight gained
during the same period of time.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Rural Netc Yorker
suggests that good way to SOW large

crossing back and forth, keeping the geared

you come to harvesting, 60 around the same
way; then your last sowing will he cut last.
1T is great mistake not TO sow grass seed
enough to secure fair stand. A peck of
clover seed and peck of timothy is not too
much to SOW on land In good condition.
Much less would do If IL all grew, but it viii
not, and the birds will carry of some of IL.
1t is far cheaper to pay little extra for
seed than TO have weed patches all over the
field to irfiict positive damage by their
growth.

writes: 81 wish all horsemen knew the

before farmers institute: "Be assured

HIS RECORD.

Harrison When In the Senate Advocated
tho Use Of Money for "Politacal Pur-
poses."
Benjamin HARRISON has q record as an nd
vocate Of political corruption. Il was not
often in his career as Senator that he had
any opinion to express on any important
subject. But on one matter he did make q
speech and this speech in the light Of re-
cent events has come to possess much in
terest-
In December, 1882, q bill was considered
by the Senate entitled "a bill to regulate
and improve the civil service Of the United
States" On this subject Mr.. Harrison en-
tertcined pronounced views. And he did
not hesitate to give his fellow Senators the
benefit Of them. This measure sought to
make the contributing Of any money by any
ofdcer or employe Of the United States q
misdemeaaor punishable by fine Of five
hundred dollars and dismissal from ONCE.
Here Mr.. Harrison was in his element. He
threw his whole soul into the Imminent
deadly breach" and gave his voice and in
huence in favor Of the poor ofaceholder who
wishes to give all his income for the good
OF his party. According to Mr.. Harrison
the desire of an oficeholder to contribute
any part, or all, Of his salary for political
purposes should not be interfered with.
On this occasion, says the Detroit Free
Press, the Senator from Indiana held the
position that when a man, no matter
whether private citizen or public employe,
had once earned his salary the Government
had no right to prescribe how he should
spend 1t or not spend it. The pay belongs
to him absolutely, and he can use it as to
him seems best In this speech Mr.. Har.
rison said: "The Government of the
United States can not prohibit any man
from using money that is his for any legit-
innate purpose. We may prohibit the use
OF it for illegal purposes of fraud or cor
ruption In elections, but / deny that the
Government may control the use of the
money that it has paid to the man for sery.
ices rendered"
According to Mr.. Harrison, money spent
for election purposes is used for o "legit-
innate purpose" This is ambiguous Ian.
guage. But by and by Mr.. Harrison ceases
to speak in riddles on this subject, and be-
comes explicit, decidedly so. When SEN
ator Voorhees,, of Indiana, the Democratic
colleague Of Mr.. Harrison, submitted a bill
prohibiting officers and employees Of the
Government from contributing money for
political purposes, this bill called forth
another speech from Mr.. Harrison, which
closed with this perfectly comprehensive
statement: 81 say for one, 1 will never
consent to vote for any law which deprives
any public officer, however humble. Of the
privilege Of converting any part that he
may choose of his salary for campaign ex-
penses." Privilege is very good.
Mr.. Harrison on the question of political
corruption is on record. The independents
voters and Civil-Service reformers will give
this bit Of MIR. Harrison's career due con-
alteration

Death of George Engelhardt.

Shortly before noon yesterday George
Engelhardt died at his residence Queen
street, from an overdose of laudanum
He had been in the habit of taking the
drug to relieve pain. Doctors Miner and
Haedicke tried to save Engelhardt's life
but their efforts were of no avail, the
effects of the drug being too far ad-
vanced. The deceased was native of
easel, Germany, and came to the islands
from Queensland. He was clerk at the
Hawaiian Hotel in 1873, and afterwards
beokkeeper at Kealia, Kauai, for two
years. He next worked for Mr.. Samuel
Mott and on the latter leaving the
country Mr.. Engelhardt took the bust
ness, which he conducted up to the time
of his death. The funeral took place
yesterday afternoon, the remains being
inferred in Nuuanu cemetery.
