and other agricultural counties will
probably stand by him. Republicans,
who oppose him, say that by becoming
the candidate of the alliance he has ac-
cepted the tariff platform of the Demo-
Gratis. The facts are these: The alli-
ance demands now, as it has demanded
in the, past, thorough revision
and reduction of the tariff. In
its latest platform it says:
I'VE demand radical reduction
of the tariff. The Alliance officers say
that the organizations platform of four
years ago emb0dies the doctrine of the
presidents message. Mr.. Scheffer
heartily indorsed" in his letter to the
alliances committee the alliances
platform. That this is not partisan
movement is shown by the attitude of
majority of the people toward the tariff,
and by the statements of a Democrat,
very prominent in the councils of his
party, who says that the Democrats
would not be helped if Scheffer should
not be nominated by the Republicans
and should run on an independent
ticket, because he would take with him
the German Democrats and because he
would have the support Of the alliance,
which is composed of men of both
parties. 1t is probable that
SCHEFFER WOULD
run independently if the Republicans
would refuse to take him. The Mime
sofa delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton were at first inclined to vote for
Blaine, but now it is understood that
nearly all of them have come to the con-
clusion that Gresham ought to have
their votes. Still, it is said by we'll
Informed politicians that the delegates
are open to conviction and have not
finally made up, their minds. The feel
Ing for Blaine is a kind of unreaSoning
enthusiasm, for the people are not in
accord with him in respect to the tariff.
The feeling for Gresham is more reason
able, and is based upon more thought
full consideration of issues. Among the
farmers he is regarded as a courageous
opponent OF the corporations against
which they have been fighting More
over, an impression prevails that he is
not high tariff man, but favorS such
reduction of rates as would give them
relief without wholly withdrawing pro-
lection from industries that have en-
ioyed it.
There does not seem to be much room
for free trade ideas here. The people
do not go so far as that but, on the
other hand, it is not the surplus which
causes them to ask for reductions. 1t is
the ever present
BURDEN OF TAXATION
which they feel and the conviction that
this taxation is making corporations
rich with the money taken from their
pockets. Many Republicans think that
Gresham must stand with them in this,
because they believe that he is with
them in their opposition to corporate
aggression which is not connected with
the tariff. The Democratic managers
propose to find out, so far as they can,
what the prospects are, and to be guided
by the results of previous canvasses and
calculations. If they shall be convinced
that the state cannot be carried they
will not waste anV labor on it,.

A Plea for Pcculiarities.

Oddly is, therefore, the designative or
distinguishing element about men, and is
to be avoided only as it Is of the charac
terless. or the disagreeable sort. 1t is
possible for a family trait to divide its
quality know well two brothers the
one an eminent priest, man Of really
magnificent power, the other man of
picayune infnitesimals The first is II
close listed and really mean business man.
but it is overlapped by his superb
scholarship. the second has large scholar
ship but it is overgrown by his impecu
mostly The family trait for generations
has been precision in business affairs,
with New England parsimony. Here II
brings forth two brains very nearly equal
in power. but only in one does the odd
ness show itself as undisguised meanness
On the whole, think there is nothing
we may be SD thankful for as PECULIAR

helpless and unable to exercise rational
control Of our powers. no harm can come
from having what our neighbors have

sons is he who fears to be original-who
breads his neighbours sarcasm and yet

Foreign Good. IN China.

The British consul at lchang, the most
western port in the Yangtsze, notices In
his last report that while the import Of
the lighter cotton goods has increased.
that of the heavy and coarse textures has
decreased In the spring Of last year
there were rumors among the Chinese OF
bodily ailments. diseases Of the skin. and
even death being induced by wearing gar
,ments Of foreign cotton stuff. In
Szechuen province the story had much
currency for short time He suggests
that those who control the cotton goods
trade should take means TO prevent the
presence of noxious or irritant matter in
their goods The alleged use of baryta
and It's possible effects might be worth
inquiry. Scientific American.
