The Union Printer publishes the fol-

The Union Printer publishes the fol-
lowing:-
Harrison has now tho great oppor-
tnnity of his life to benefit organized
labor. He is charged by the labor
press of the west with being an avow-
ell enemy to trade organizations and
hostile to all practical methods by
which the workingmen seek to improve
their condition. Whether the charges
are supported by positive proof we are
not informed, but certainly the evil
dence at hand is very strong, and we
shall need some exhibition OF his will
ingness to serve the interests of labor
before we doubt the truthfulness of the
charges. Mr.. Harrison has now the
chance of showing his position. White
law Reid. of the Tribune, and John q.
New, of the indianapolis Journal, are
his strong supporters and leaders of
his party. They are the bitter enemies
of union labor. They have degraded
il and they have robbed it and have
endeavored to destroy il utterly by ITS
pauperization. He is now asked to
decide whether he prefers the support
of such men to that of honest labor.
Now is his opportunity to rebuke the
euemies of labor and give the lie 10 the
charge of his enmity to organized
labor. With the forcing of Reid aud
New to either make their offices square
or take back seat in the republican
party Mr.. Harrison will have done his
duty

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION PROS.
PEOTS,
From the Dallas News.I

The republicans are weakening.
Heretofore it has been their custom TO
claim everything. However, the great
mouthpiece of the republican party,
the New York Tribune, virtually cou-
cedes the thirty-six electoral votes OF
New York to the democrats. for in
review of the doubtful states that
paper does not consider New York at
all, turning 10 Indiana and New Jer-
sey or Connecticut and West Virginia
as likely to yield the nineteen votes
needed to secure republican success.
But while the Tribune is forced by the
obvious necessities of the situation TO
be nervous in regard TO New York, it is
not so in other directions, tor in order
to have basis tor its calculations
it groups a number of states, which
together have a total OF 1S2 electoral
votes, as certain tor the republican
candidates, and among these states is
the now doubtful one, California, to
say nothing of Michigan. California
is by no means certain state for
either party. Hancock carried it in
1880, Blaine in 1884 anu democratic
governor was elected in 1886. The fact
that Blaine carried the state in 1854 is
one OF the indications that the demo-
Gratis will secure its electoral votes this
time, for it was Blaine's Chinese policy
and Blaine's anti Chinese record that
made him SO popular Oh the Pacific
coast four years ago. The Chinese
questi"h and not the tariff appears TO
have been made the issue in the far
west, and Mr. Harrison's record Oh
this question is not the best thing in
the world for the republicans to enter
the campaign with out there to catch
votes. The tariff in Michigan aud the
Chinese question on the Pacific slope
are apparently making gaps in the re-
publican ranks. These two states have
heretofore been considered certainly
republican, but before the campaign is
| much further advanced the Tribune
may find it necessary to revise It's
| figures and drop other states than New
York from the republican column.
| Meanwhile there is not much evidence
OF weakness in the democratic ranks
For the first time in years they have
the republicans on the defensive, and
tie latter fight badly unless backed up
| well by the strong arm of the govern
meni. When it comes to q principle
the republicans are taken at disad
vantage for lack of experience and
habitude in recent years. Sectiona
hatred and the bloody shirt have seen
their day. The republicans find them,
selves well into campaign without
arms or ammunition.

WHY he BETS ON CLEVELAND.

Washington, June 22.-Benjamin P.
Fairchild, of New York City, who has
been a member of Tammsny Hall for
htty-three years, in speaking of the
political outlook in New York to- day,
said: My mark is l00, 900 majority ia
the state for Cleveland. People may
think that is wild, but / have been
actively engaged in the politics of the
state tor more than half century, and
to telling how and election will 60. /
am willing TO risk any amount up to
$50 200 on my judgment. The people
of New York are pleased with the
ticket and with the platform, and they
will vote the ticket like sheep following
each other, For governor we will re-
nominate David r. Hill, the most pop
ular democrat in the state, and we will
elect him with q hurrah, too"
Mr.. Fairchid said he felt lukewarm
toward President Cleveland until he
read the spec h delivered by Senator
Hoar some time ago attaching the presi-
dent. 81 believe" he said, sup to that
time that the president hadn't turned
out the republicans, but when l read
Hoar's speech, showing that nearly all
the republican postmasters had been
turned out and that in other depart
ments the changes had been made 10 an
equal extent, warmed to the presi-
dent, and | tell you that speech made
thousands of votes tor Cleveland ia
New York"

FOR STOUT PEOPLE.

The system of Prof. Ernest Scbweu-
, , niger tor the treatment of obesity.
which was introduced here about two
years ago. says the New York Sun,
has by this time been sufficiently tested
to demonstrate that anybody who will
determinediy follow the regimen pre-
scribed by il can reduce his flesh to any
reasonable degree desired, 1t being
understood, of course, that his physical
condition il not such by reason of in
durable heart or kidney disease as 10
make reduction perilOus. And there,
is just one thing about it that il hard
to get used to. That is the absolute
prohibition of all liquids during meals
and for an hour before aud an hour
after each meal. It does not seem 50
difficult to do without fluids to wash
down ones lood until it is tried, aud
the iron pressure OF habit in slipping
and even gulping water, wine, milk,
tea Or coffee while eating is realized.
The very tact OF prohibition seems to
make one more intensely thirsty, and
the juicy food takes on the astringeDt
dryness of chewed pOmegranste rind.
o. course, one becomes accustomed to
il after awhile, eventually does not feel
any desire tor liquids ut the prohibited
times, and even iuds less disposition
to drink at any time than he had
before. Then his reward comes, not
only in the reduction OF flesh, but in q
surprising diminution of the nuisance
of perspiration, which is the misery OF
all tat men.
1t must not be supposed that this
shutting off OF liquids Is the whole of
the treatment, though it appears to be
the most important requirement. That
ranking next to il is that one must not
gorge with food, especially food in
which sugar and starch are largely
component parts.
The iron chancellor still lives by
| Schweninger rules, and in doing 80
keeps down his tendency to growing
fat and remains q wonder of vitality
and vigor at his advanced age. No
hanger than last April one OF the Suns
special dispatches told how he restrict
ed himself in eating to light break
fast and substantial dinner, with no
liquids at meals and only a glass Of
wine daily, taken just before retiring.
One experiment with the bogus sys-
TEN OF three pints of water before
breakfast by Bismarck would doubtless
afford Germany another first class
funeral.
There is no royal road to relief from
corpulcnce that may be travelled with
ease and safety, and without SELF
sacrifice. Nostrums are from time to
time advertised as affording it-such
as one now doomed in England, and
finding not few dupes here-but they
do not. Starvation a Ia Banting, and
the nostrum cures that profess to re-
duce gluttOns while practicing their
gIuttony if they will only stake Wine
glassful at each meal" are alike dan
gerous humbugs. Renouncing liquids
seems TO he demonstrated the safest
and best thing when accompanied by
due moderation in eating. But in no
case Is it absolutely safe for a fat per-
son to adopt any really effective meas
ures for reducing weight without
thorough preliminary knowledge of
the actual condition OF his vital organs.

Her ways are different lately.
Her nIrnners altered quite,
Her voice has soflemed greatly,
Her ioUlsIcp is more light,
She bears herself selaielY,
Aud dreams from noon To night.
Shes wilIfuI. wild, capricious,
Hand, yielding, gay, disirait.
She rails with accents vicious,
Against the married state.
And then with griri suspicious,
Pities the Cellbate.
Her checks are tinged with bushes
When no onc', there to see;
AT times away she brushes
A tear drop hastily.
Then softly sings, aud ihTushes
Sing not more tcnderly.
She frowns upon tliriaii0ns,
ON gossip puts her ban;
Accepts few invitations,
These only from one man,
Her toilet preparations
Are modelled on his plan.
Reports of his devotion
Shr'Il earnestly dirclaim,
And hints Of soft devotion
win set her eyes ntlame;
But sIIII have n notion
She soon will change her name.

Feeling In Amputated Limbs.

Several years ago man was run over
by the cars here and had to have one of
his legs amputated just below the thigh.
The amputated leg was buried in the
back yard and, after he had recovered
from the anRsthetic given him, he COM
planned that his leg panied him, as it felt
as though lying on its side, toeing in. He
kept complaining for several hours, till
some of the family, without the knowl-
edge of the injured man, disinterred the
limb and found it as he had said They
then turned it up so that it lay little in
clined in the other direction, or slightly
toeing out. Immediately he exclaimed:
'That feels SO much BETTER His wife
was in his room at the time, and, not
knowing what had been done, asked him
what it was that felt better, and he re-
piled: "Some one has changed my leg to
comfortable position"
Another instance was where boy
about IS years old had shot himself
through the right arm so badly that it
was taken off at the shoulder. When he
recovered his senses after the operation
he complained that three of his fingers
were bent over as If clasping a small egg
tightly, and that they had gone to sleep
in that position and were annoying him.
An examination revealed the fact that
when the arm was buried the three fingers
referred to had become bent under the
hand, and, upon their being Strengthened
out, the boy Immediately noticed it and
remarked upon it. In both instances the
patients were unaware of the fact that
their requests were being complied with.

Hooker and the Estey shops. At
one time this began to look like fail
ure so the gallant, the invincible { y
Hooker himself was trotted out, and
| il is believed that he and Brattle-
boro friend made the tour of the
state ostensibly in the interest of his
candidacy for Governor, but really
with the intent to further the plot to
run Harris off the track. Then all
these papers, above spoken Of, began
to bewail the condition of Windham
county, alleging that it was hopelessly
divided and that candidate must be
looked for somewhere else. They
were not long in finding him, and
strange as it might appear to those
who had not looked behind the scenes,
the man was w. p. Dillingham; of
Waterbury-strange from the fact
that he was generally believed to
stand substantially upon the same
ground that Harris did, but not
strange when it is considered that he
was the only available man, and that
he was taken for this reason coupled
with the fact of his being a younger
man and, therefore, liable to prove
more plastic in their hands than they
could possibly hope of Harris. Thus
matters ran until the 18th of March
when G.. G.. Benedict, editor OF the
Burlington Free Press, and who him.
self is a candidate for eut.-Govern-
or, addressed letter to Mr.. Harris
and nothing appeared upon the face
of it anything like a reason for its ex-
istence, but required but little read
ING between the lines to convince one
that it was only intended to give Har-
ris to understand that he must fight
or stand from under. To this letter
Harris promptly replied, declining the
candidacy. And now comes in the
strange part of this story OF fraud
and trickery. On the same day that
the Free Press published the Bene-
dict Harris letter, Col. Clark, the
editor of the Rutland Herald, and
who is also a candidate for Lieut.
Governor, announced its forthcoming,
and further stated, that IN no case
could Fuller be candidate and that
Hooker acas not nor neVer had been
one.
So it seems that Windham county
had not been hopelessly divided, and
that the whole scheme of Fuller and
Hooker's candidacy was a lie and a
fraud. and from that day to this their
names have not been mentioned in
connection with this office-the still
ness of death has fallen upon them.

The prnreist,s colored Jar..

While a reporter was talking with an
uptown druggist the other evening little
fellow, clad in blue suit, entered and
bought postage stamp. After getting
the stamp he said:
'Say, mister, what do you put in them
big jars in the Window
"Colored water" replied the druggist,
smiling, and when the little fellow had
gone he added: "Every now and then
some little child asks us about those
globes"
"Well, am curious myself. What is
the full recipe?' said the reporter.
"Those used by the better class of drug
gists," replied the druggist, ''are, in re-
atty, composed of mixtures of chemicals.
Some use bottles of colored glass filled
with water, but these do not reflect the
