5EBEN. HARRISON
BY THE AUTHOR OF BEN HUR.

BIZ The AOIftOh BEN hOh.
Gen. Lew Wallace we hear has remov-
ed to indianapolis, and is busily engaged
writing a Biography of his old friend.
Gen. Ben. Harrison.
Rarely has 30 happy combination
been known as that resulting in the issue
Of this work. Gen. Lew Wallace, known
the world over as the author of Ben
Hur,n is one of Gen Harrison's lifelong
and trusted friends. and is also distin-
guished soldier, q trained statesman, and
9 diplomat Of high national reputation.
His name as author gives at once the
assusance Of biography Of extraordin-
AIRY merit.
His long and intimate ACQUAINTANCE
with his distinguished subject will en-
able him to prepare rapidly an authehtic
and deeply interesting biography. y
His large experience in national and
international affairs fits him to treat I'M
derstandingly and ably Of General Har-
rison's superb record as statesman, and
clearly to unfold the principles held by
him respecting the science Of good gov
eminent, and the weighty issues at stake
in the present great contest.
Gen. Wallace at first declined this task
but upon the urgent solicitation of many
eminent men of the party, and Gen. Har-
rison's assurance that every thing need
full should be placed at his disposal, so
as to make it the strictly authentic, and
only authorized Biography, he yielded
to the call, and has agreed to complete
the work for publication by Hubbard
Brothers, of Philadelphia, early in
August.

THE HERALD acknowledges
with thanks the receipt of tariff
speeches from Hons. Thos. B. Reed,
Jacob Yost, N. Golf, Messrs. Wilson,
Kenna, Mckinley. and others. We
want all we can get. A good idea
would be for the Republicans and
Democrats to establish a joint tariff
document bureau, and furnish both
sides of the question at the same
time. Surely, neither side should
be afraid to have the issue before
the public in all its bearings. The
people will decide between facts and
experience and theory. The Repub
lican managers in West Virginia
must make provisions for the circu
lation of tariff speeches by the mil,
lion. They are asked for every day.

Country Houses I'm America.

There Is a curious lack in America.
The dining rooms of country houses are
generally small and not cheerfuliy fur
nished. The more modern houses are
improving In this respect, and we have
lately seen many large room with a
good outlook, or with hard wood floor or
mating. or with India rugs. The table
should DO round or oval. The chairs of
some hard wood, with cane. The table,
cloth Of fine danaaslr, smelling Of laven-
der; colored cloths are only permissible
for dinner and tea. The matter Of light
ing rooms troubles people who live In
country neighborhoods. II there Is no
gas, candles are pretty, but very trouble
some. The wind blows the flame to and
fro. insects fiutter into the flame, an un-
happy moth seats himself ON the wick,
and burning into an unsightly cadaver,
makes d gutter down one side; the little
red paper shade takes fire, and there Is
endless trouble. Kerosene smells abom-
snably. However. pretty carcel, or
moderator lamp with transparent shade
Is the best thing. and, now that they
come with long brass standards, very
convenient. Mrs. II. r. w. Sherwood.

About two hundred and twenty
men have been discharged from the
Mount Clare shops since Saturday.
The discharges have been in the
passenger car department, in the
blacksmith shop and round house.
There are very few cars in for re-
pairs at present. Only about fifteen
are on hand. The sale of the parlor
car system has led to the discharge
OF some fifty-eigbt men in the pas
senger car shops. All the rest of
the force is working eight hours, or
four fifths time. The men are dis
cussing pretty lively the reasons
and wherefores of the shortage of

DEMOCRATIC PAPER ON PRO-
lection.

The iron industry of Pennsylvania
has been for many years past in
dismal state OF depression, out Of
which it comes by fits and starts for
a brief breathing spell. There Is too
much competition in the business
to enable the most successful mana
gers to realize more than fair prof
it ont of it; and it is ignorance and
demagogism of the worst kind to
charge that great fortunes are reap
ed from it by virtue of the tariff pro
lection it gets. But for that pro-
lection it could not exist; with that
protection it can not obtain exces-
siye profits because Of the great
home competition, which makes the
supply generally greater than the
demand.--LGncaster IntelliOeRcer

Your House on Fire.

Not the house of wood. or brick, or
stone, in which you live, but your bodi-
ly tenement may be in terrible danger
from smouldering fire which you make
no effort to quench. The great danger
from impure blood is that it debilitates
the system, and the digestive organs
grow weak and inactive. Hood 3 Sarsa-

THIS END ON THE STATE TICKET.

Even the Democrats admit that
with strong ticket, the Republi-
cans have a good chance OF carrying
West Virginia this fall. The value
of a "changen OF party to West Vir.

at this time. Northern capital and
immigration hitherto in hesitation
would seek investment aud settle.
ment at once, and the West Virgin.
ia boom would be seen and felt by
all.
For the Republicans to carry the
State, an exceptionally strong and
popular ticket must be presented,-
strong in the men who are On it, and
strong in geographical representa-.
tion.
The end of the State East OF the
mountains is beginning to make its
maiorities felt, and will do more so
if wisely considered in the makeup
of the ticket. Grant, Mineral Nor
gan, Berkeley, and even Jefferson,
are going with the tide of Republi.
canism.
This advantage can be made to
count this fall by placing IA man like
Hon. Geo. M. Bowers on the ticket.
He is full of energy and ability, a
farmer and business man OF means,
deservedly popular; he would stump
the State, and make good impress.

manliness and straight forwardness,

Mr.. Giles said that while he was in business
at Paducah, KY, during the war, Mr.. Bell
came to him and left some money with
him, saying that he was going on dam
gerous expedition in the Confederate States
and did not care to take the money with
him. Mr.. Giles says that Bell requested
him to send the money to his sister at
Corydon, if he did not call for it within
a certain time, but says that he never
thought of the matter again from that day
until the day he wrote the letter to the
postmaster at this place. Friends OF Major
Horace Bell wrote to him at Los Angeles,
Cal, about the matter, and received an an
swer yesterday. Bell says that he LETT So

deayoring to learn his whereabouts. He
says that when Judge Walter Q. Gresham
was in Los Angeles some time ago he asked
him about Giles, knowing that he was &C
quainted with him. The Judge told him
that he had OF seen Giles since the war,
but that he made million dollars In cot
