HOLDERS TO BE BENEFITED AT THE Ex-
PENsE OF THE PEOPLE.
Special to Baltimore Sun

PENsE OF THE PEOPLE.
Especial to Baltimore SUM-
WASHINGTON, September 12.-Gen. Har
risou's letter has not rippled the surface OF
the sea of politics. Instead of raging
cyclone or blasting blizzard, there has come
from the shores of the Wabash the mildest
sort of zephyr. 1t really seems az if MIR.
Ingalls's advice had been followed, and
that the Republicans had chosen negative
character. Mr.. Harrison's letter has one
prevailing idea permeating every paragraph,
it is that the Democratic party is sincere,
not to be trusted, and if permitted to re-
main in power will carry the country, in
the language of Mr.. Mantilini, to the
"demnition bow-wows." In one sentence
he doubts the sincerity Of the Democratic
party's platform, and yet accepts as honest
the Interpretation it has received from the
Democratic President and House. He
protests against the Democratic outrage of
touching the tariff, and yet promises that
the Republicans will, if successful, revise
it.
The most unpatriotic, unstatesmanlike,
impolitic and startling proposition of this
otherwise commonplace paper is that which
proposes the reduction of the surplus by the
purchase of bonds before their maturity
What do these bonds represent? The high
and cruel taxation under which the poor
people labored for decades. Who holds
these bonds9 The rich and misery, indi-
vidual and corporate! What can they be
bought at before MATURITY For just what
the ''bloated bondholders" choose to de-
mand for them. Who will be paying for
both the face, interest, and premium? The
now overtaxed masses.
This proposition of itself is enough to
condemn both party and candidate. When
General Harrison touches the Chinese
question he carefully avoids any allusion to
his past record. He does not frankly state
that his views on that subject have changed.
He simply says that ''the question has
passed beyond the stage of argument" yet
it is pending in the Senate to-day. Grover
Cleveland would never have thus ignored a
record conscientiously made; all the plat
form in the world would never change his
honest convictions.
These features of the letter are the ones
which have attracted most attention at
Washington. As for the remaining charac-
tsristics they are regarded as mere gener-
a(ities, showing, however, that the leader
has fallen into line and promises to sneeze
whenever Mr.. Quay takes snuff. This ex-
plains why he feebly waves the bloody
shirt in referring to election frauds, why he
makes pretentious bid for soldiers votes
not only from the pension standpoint, but
by extending to them the hope of getting
Office sin the competition for civil appoint
ment." With characteristic inconsistency
he in the next paragraph pledges himself tt
such lofty theory of civil service reform
that to name offce-seeking in his presenc'
would be contamination, Mr.. Harrison
allusion to the virtue and temperance plat
form of the convention where votes wer
bought and sold and free whiskey endorses
is worthy of the Joseph Surface Of tn
Chicago comedy.

Suppose the Republican party should win,
who imagines that the South would have
any participation in the affairs of the ma
tional administration except possibly
through iaEtruments of aversion and de-
testation to her people in the persons of
treacherous renegades who have conspired
with the ignorant and worthless elements
of society to disgrace and huniliate her?
Who do not know, in such an event, that
the high places now filled by decent South
ern mon, at home and abroad, will know
them no more forever under radical domi-
patton, and that the white traitors among
Us, obsequious vasssls of envenomed South
haters, will be- encouraged to stir up strife
and thereby furnish mean and mischie 7ous
politicians with excuse to again Cypress our
people by intermeddling with our local con-
Germs? Who does not understand all this

The VOTE IN MAINE.-The official figures
of the Maine election, now at hand, give a
direct contradiction to Mr.. Blaiues fanciful
dispatch On the largest vote but one ever
cast in the State, the plurality of Burleigh,
republican, over Putnam, democrat, is 49,
495, against republican plurality for Gov
ernor four years ago of 10, 745, or a net re-
publican loss of /, $50 on the plurality. The
vote for Putnam, democrat, for Governor,
is 81, 10S, which is the largest straight dem
cc'atic vote ever polied in Maine, ard near
ly 5000 in excess of that cast for Mr.. Cleve
land four years ago. Mr.. Blaine also tele
graz he'd Gen. Harrison that tie 'piohibi

the figures show that Gushing, prohibition
candidate for Governor, received2, 9TI 70 e.,

Of necessity four monitors could be
finished, so as to he suitable for
harbor defense. But of the old
ships so few are fit TO engage in
modern warfare that in reality the
naval strength of the United States
is narrowed down to the cruisers
which have been built since 1892.
As the case stands at present the
naval strength of China is greater
than ours. But the development of
the science of high explosives and
the extension of the torpedo system
have rendered it very unsafe to say
what kind of craft could be relied
upon to carry on maritime warfare
at the present day. We have no
vessels which could engage in a duel
with the Admiral Duperre, or the
Inhcxible, or the Duilio; but, os
our men-of-war have greater speed
and could destroy them from dis
tancc by means of torpedoes, we
need have no apprehension. S. f.

is the case of Mr.. John VolIer, who
for the last 10 years, barring few
months, has attended to and been
responsible for the furnace, the
whistle, and the steam boiler that
drives the whole machinery of the
Honolulu Iron Works. For the
period named he was daily the first
on duty and the last to leave. Who
ever heard of Voller's whistle being
far out or neglected? Sundays and
holidays ever found him fitting his
charge for the following day
cleaning the tubes, scaling the
boiler, etc. Humble and unob-
trusive lie plodded on the even
tenor of his way: on duty he ate his
frugal meal. A wife and numer-
Gus family Of young children alb

best were small.
