rison's letter is concise. cogent and
felicitOus in both matter and manner.
The many brief speeches which he has
made since his nomination had already
shown the country that he is a man
of extraordinary intellectual resources
and power. but this letter will certain
ly add greatly to the high esteem in
which he is held by an admiring
public.
General Harrison presents the real
issue of this campaign with direct
ness and practical force which can not
fail to have great influence with the
voters of the country. He is particu-
larly felicitous when he characterizes
the advocates of free trade theories as
"students of maxims and not of the
markets." That is precisely where
the false step is made, following the
light of distractions rather than the
lamp of actual experience. The bug
bear Of surplus in the Treasury is
disposed of in few words. The inter-
est-bearing debt of the Nation should
be reduced now. as it was in the ad-
ministration of General Grant. by
bond purchase. The policy of giving
a few favorite banks the advantage of
enormous government deposits is justly
condemned.
The Chinese question in particular,
and the immigration question in gen.
eral, are both discussed in a way to
leave no room for misunderstanding
the position occupied by the Repab-
lican party and its standard-bearer.
Instead of a few slushy congratulations
General Harrison is explicit and thor
ough. precluding the possibility Of
successful Misrepresentation. The
case of the Southern colored Republic
ans denied the right of suffrages Is
also tersely and forcibly put. Each
subject, in fact, is given its due pro-
portion Of attention, and in no in
stance does the trumpet give an un-
certain sound. From first to last the
document has the ring of genuine
craftsmanship and the Hottest patriot.

A TALK ON TRUSTS.

CO00OAn8C1O08 In0t Hov0 b00n COrmOA
Under Cloveland's Administration.
If Mr.. Blaine cares to investigate he
will learn that one of the most
arbitrary and absolute trusts in this
country is the coffin trust. An UNDER
taker recently stated to the writer
that the coffin trust, composed of all
the manufacturers Of collins and cask-
eta of the better grades, had fixed tho
retail prices of those articles, and no
undertaken could buy their goods If he
cut the price one penny. This trust
was formed two or three years ago.
and It has fattened on the bones Of the
dead, and the tariff has nothing what
ever to do with its creation or power.
He will discover that the most
gigantic trust in the world is the
Standard Oil trust, which is in no way
affected by the tariff.
He will discover that the whisky
trust exists in all its glory-without
regard to the tariff.
He will learn that with one or two
exceptions all the trusts now in force
in this country have sprung up since
Grover Cleveland became President.
the Standard Oil and whisky trusts
being about the only exceptions
He will learn that wheat corners.
and corn corners and pork corners
exist and that they are trusts as
arbitrary a. the sugar trust whenever
their manipulators see fit to create
them.
He will learn that the great railway
trunk lines form trusts to pool their
earnings, fix rates of freight and pas
senger rates, with a pool or trust COM
missioner to determine the relative
rights and shares of the several MEM
bers, and that they have no connection
with the tariff, and can have no such
connection.
He will learn THAT the silver mine
owners have trust which influences
Congress and controls legislative
bodies, and that to this silver trust we
are indebted for an unwieldy mass Of
silver coins in the Treasury vaults
which the people do not need and
which the Treasury can not use to any
advantage whatever.
And the more he investigates the
more he will be convinced that tho
trusts which Congress is just now wor-
rying over are of small concern COM
pared with those it has studiously
passed over in silence.
II some legal means could be adopt
ed to break them all down the people
would be greatly benefited. but the
man who holds the tariff responsible is
an ignoramus, be he in the White
House OF in the halls Of Congress.
They flourish like green bay tree
under the administration of Mr.. Grover
Cleveland as never before.
and yet half dozen Democratic
Houses of Representatives have gone
without any effort whatever to discover
ways and means of destroying them

MORE THAN A STRAW.

The Decay of Democratic Power and
Strength In Arkansas.
In 1894 the Democratic plurality in
the State of Arkansas was 46, 1856; in
1886 it was sc, $50; in the election just
held it is estimated to be $1,000, after
all the methods of counting" and
suppression known to the Bourbons OF
that State have been applied for its
unlawful increase. For time it was
believed at Democratic headquarters
that the State was lost to the briga-
diers lately in command. 1t is not the
Republican party, though it is the
leaven of Republican principle, that
has been reducing Democratic MAORI
ties in Arkansas, and that threatens to
annihilate them.
1.-The Wheel" is q secret society
operating in some OF the Southern
States, much as the Changers once OPP
Grated in the Middle States; in Ark
ansas its demands are
l. Consolidation of the National and
State elections, and rigid and severe
laws for the protection of the purity
of the ballot-box.
2. Protection to farm products.
s. State Improvement by taxation.
The Wheel" being a secret so
ciety, decided to make no political
nominations, but it addressed the Dem
ocratic convention of the State of Ar
kansas, requesting it to embody the de-
mands enumerated in its platform.
The convention politely refused to do
so. The convention of the United
Labor party did do so. and THE
Wheel" supported the ticket and plat
form of that party with the effect al
ready noted.
Whatever organizations of farmers
or laborers have formed, they have
expressed themselves with great clear
ness upon the issues of purity in cleo
tons and protection to home indus
tries. 1t has been thus in Iowa, Illi-
nois, Tennessee, Missouri and Arkan-
sas. The resistance of the Southern
brigadiers to the demand for consol-
idation of State and National elections
is explained easily. They wish to keep
State elections out of Federal
supervision; they desire fraud and
force to 60 unchecked. The de-
sire of the farmers and laborers is
very different; they desire a full and
free vote and a fair count. The in
dustrial forces can not operate with
freedom in the presence of electoral
fraud. The plain, common people,
the citizens who work for living, are
DESTROYS of protection to home in
dustries, and such increased demand
for labor and of the food which labor
requires as public improvements be-

The well-nigh successful effort Of

thing more than a political straw; it is

In the procession, after the celebrant, who with his assistant ministers was vested in red, came the bishop in red cope and mitre, attended by two of the clergy of the church as chaplains. He was placed on throne on the north side of the altar and was inceused at the in- troit, gospel and offertory. After the Nicens creed he was divested of his cope by one of his chaplains and, attended by them, pro cseded to the pulpit in his rochet and chi mere. After delivering sermon on the church of his dear Son upon the foundation of his apostles, and special vindication of the incarnation of Jesus Christ, the bishop returned to his throne and was again vested in the cope. He gave the absolution and blessing in the celebration, wearing his unitre. The music was Hoyte's service in D, and it was finely rendered throughout. The celebrant was the Rev. H. c.

A swINDLER CAPTURED.

 For week past storskeepers located on Chapel street and elsewhere in the center of the city, have been frequently annoyed by the valuations of man who would come in ostensibly either to request permission to write letter or use the telephone. This man has turned out to be Hiram H. Harris, although he gave his name as John Rhodes. He is 8 sneak thief. His game has been to steal anything of value that he could lay hands on. L. 0. Dole was 8 recent vic- tim to the amount of $13 General George H. Ford, the jeweler, suffered to the amount of gold watch chain on Wednss- day. and the man robbed Augurs art store on Orange street of lot of postage stamps. Yesterday he was arrested quite cleverly. MT. Cooper, watch repairer, at General Ford's, spotted the man in the vicinity of J. D. Dewell's on State street and started after him. Harris went down Wooster and Union streets with Mir. Cooper in pursuit. When near the corner of Onion and Fair streets he was captured by Express Driver B. Farrell who held the swindler until Officer Bishop came up and took him into custody. When taken to the police sta ton and searched Harris gave evasive an- swers, and $179.10 were found upon him. The police think Harris is an old swindle and that it is decidedly strange he remained yisi- ble after so much petty swindling.
 Detectives Brewer and Reilly visited Har- ris' room on Wooster street and there found over one thousand different articles that he had stolen. The stuff included patent medi- cines, perfumes, jewelry, hair oil, optical goods, gloves and In fact almost everything Harris could have laid his hands on during an extended tour about the country. He has had an especial liking for raiding jewelry stores. He will probably be tried in the City court to.daY
