THE TWO LETTERS.

The long-'ooked for letter Of Presi
dent Cleveland accepting the re
nomination by his party for Presi
dent is at last before the public, and
n.quick succession the similar letter
of Gen Harrison, the Republican
nominee the first appearing Mon
day; the latter three days later.
The Cleveland letter is twice a.
longas the Harrison document, but
the burden Of the song Of bo'h is the
tariff The former would have the
laborer believe that cheaper goods
and wider market are his great
needs and vii come to him only BY
battering down the tariff and insti-
tuting free trade. Gen Harri on ad
vocates protection as the source OF
high wages and general proseri-
ty.
The Republican candidate digress-
es from the one prominent topic OF
his letter to speak in unmistakable
language in opposition to Chinese
invasion and the suppression Of the
colored vote.
The two documents are before the
public and in the comparison natur-
ally invited Republicans rejoice

Harrison letter must maintain the

Not Against the Government.

CHICAGO, Sept 1.-THE United States
postoffice inspectors have been engaged for
some days in investigating the recent explo-
sion of dynamite cartridge in the postoffice
at Cutler, Ind The result of the inquiry
showed that there had been a fight between
the saloon and prohibtionist factions in
Cutler, and that the dynamite cartridge was
evidently intended as an argument either
for or against whisky. The department is
of the opinion that the explosion was not di-
rected against the postoffice, but how the ex-
plosive was introduced into Uncle Sans
preuiises is a mystery.

De Wolf, who has just returned to the city,
said to-day that there was no possible dan

The yellow fever germ cannot live in a
northern climate where the temperature is
below 10 degrees night and day. Refugees
may die and cover their bedding with the
deadly black vomit, and there would still be
no danger of contagion. In 1879 there were
a dozen deaths in this city Of refugees from
the yellow fever districts but in no case was
the disease communicated to any one save
the original patient. There was no possible
danger to be feared from that source
