Mr. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, made
a fine campaign speech the other day at
Belair, Maryland, and in the course oil
his remarks he called attention 10 the COM
nendation OF the Democratic sdministra-
ton coming from all appropriated people
to the effect that under it there is abso-
lutte safety. Contrast that with the rule
Of the party that even conceived and
executed the crime Of robbing the people
Of the Presidency and of their public
lands.
Those were but specimens Of Republi-
can policy so publicly performed that
they were familiar to the eyes OF the
world
But The jobs and steals in contracts as
bad as those in the Star Route business
and thousands of other things were only
known after the advent Of Democratic
administration. The people have felt for
some time the value Of the safety TO
which Mr.. Brcckinrldge refers, and il Is
the thing that will re-elect Cleveland.

Nightly cnoIin- of The Eart,,.

During the day. when the sun is shin
ing, it commupicates its heat TO the
earth and the latter becomes warm.
When night comes. however, the earth
gives off the heat which it has stored up
during the day. and consequently be-
comes colder. This cooling commences
at shutdown. and increases every minute
until the sun rises again, when the low
est degree Of cold is reached. That IS
the time when most of us feel, even in
bed, after the hottest night, chilliness
which causes us TO cover ourselves more
closely with the blankets, which were
rejected at the beginning Of the night
This fact will also explain the cause Of
taking cold" in midsummer, which
has seemed such n mystery 10 many.
Going to bed on a hot evening. the wiz

or through failure to waken, the body ls

depth Of winter-a sudden lowering OK
temperature-and a "cOld' IS the nat
ural result This nightly cooling Of the
earth is not 50 much noticed in cities as
il is in the country. In the former the

1t is claimed in some quarters that

show this are not properly interpreted.

that the aggregate wages here for q Civ

The two houses of Congress disagree
on the amendment TO the Interstate
Commerce law making it penal offence
to discriminate in freight charges.
1t is a fact that the secret reduction OF
rates in favor OF certain shippers and
private information given them Of the
intended public reduction have been a
source of great gain to the persons thus
favored BY this advantage they were
enabled TO buy largely in Western mar
kets, benefting by the consequent rise
in prices there, and by selling in the East
prior to the public announcement Of tie
freight reduction, at prices based on the
old rates, and delivering the grain at the
reduced rates

General Harrison practices the habit OF
having delegations TO come to him so
that he can set his party in motion IKE
"merry go round" and hit each section
without moyeing from his position and
thus he saves himself trouble and also
secures machine made report from his
own headquarters. Yesterday.be received
two delegations from different States
and barangued them about England and
free trade, as if that had anything to do
with the canvass in which his opponents
only propose reduction Of war taxes
laid on by the Republicans during the
civil war, under the promise that they
would be removed as soon as the "emer-
gencv was over" Now when the war
ceased the emergency" changed to pro
lection of monopoly under the false plea
of protecting labor. All the time
labor continues to get only what
monopoly chooses to pay, because
protective tariff lessons the number OF
EMPLOYERS and at the same time the com
petition in labor The Republicans
know as well as anybody that the free
trade cry is merely Scare TO brighten
the people away from the real issue,
while the cunning "Bunko" monopolists
bag the plumber. The scare for a long
time consisted of rebel brigadier," but
finding that they had been discovered
they make up. another fake in the form
of an Englishman running Ameri-
can politics through the Democratic free
traders, of whom President Cleveland
was chief, and the bold Kentuckian,
Henry Waterson, deputy Anglomaniac.
How far that trick failed on the first
inning is amply illustrated by the Presi-
dents message on the Canada difficulty,
wherein he demonstrated his loyal spirit
for the honor of the country in striking
contrast TO the great dodger statesmen Of
the Republican side of the Senate, whose
most unpatriotic conduct in def eating the
treaty just to trap The President, resulted
in their being themselves caught. And
still the leaders yell England, free trade,
and the South though the echoes from
the people give back the cry like the
knocking ecao of the "Wild Huntsmansi
pack to warn him that he was abont to
be chased and run down by his own dogs
The Republicans were won't after
Cleyeland's election TO call their defeat
ian accident and they promised their
followers that the next time by the grace
of greater care less selfconfdence and
Democratic blunder they would retrieve
the disaster Under the rose they meant
that they had not used enough soap" on
thej one hand and hold roguery on the
other, and they CRASHED their teeth because
Jay Gould had not furnished more money,
Bill Chandler more trickery and Eyarts
more law whereby the steal of the presi
dency might have been accomplished
again as In 1876.
Perhaps we use a little too much tech
nical slang. but in speaking Of political
cracksmen one naturally falls into the
lingo as most forcible to present the pic
lures, and the Virginia reader will best
