killing Time in the Harems.

The first impression of the dolce far
niente air which pervades the harems is
most oppressive to the European mind.
Even the most do-nothing dame Paris
ienne, or the most languid devotee Of
London fashion, has some signs of occu-
patton surrounding her, and seems to have
her time taken up In some way or other
with whatever result; but here the ab-
sence Of furniture Of any practical use,
except the divans and lounges all round
the room, the lack of any objects sug-
costing even amusement or recreation,
strikes one almost painfully. Even the
familiar piano is not to be seen, or stands
back mute and inglorious. What eastern
demoiselle would think of giving an hour
a day, or even a quarter of an hour, to
practicing? Some few may attain to doing
their own fancy work instead of watching
the servants or slaves embroidering Zone

Prohibition Defined

H. II. Haaff, a Chicago prohibition
list, writes letter to the Minneapolis
Farm, Stock and Home, In which he
defines prohibition. He gives far
more liberal construction of the plat
form of the democratic side-show
than do the members OF the show in
this section. We quote the following
from Mr.. Haaff's article: 6
"Does any one for moment sup
pose that the prohibition party will
refuse the vote of a tipler, or even Of q
drunkard? Certainly not. The single
aim Of prohibition is to "stop the
manufacture, sale and supply Of al
cohol In all its various forms as a
beverage" We have nothing to do
with the question Of total abstinence
except as q natural consequence of
the sequestration of intoxicating fluids
held for beverage purposes. I am
here reminded Of a preacher who, on
our way down to. the Indianapolis
convention, got red-hot because we
would not agree that the prohibition
party Is q "total abstinence party"
which It is not.n

One of Col. 1ngersoll's Daughters.


Only q few weeks ago Miss Eva Inger..
son distinguished herself by an act OF
personal bravery that was remarkable,
not alone by reason of having been accom-
panied by member of the gentler sex.
The young lady is member OF the society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
and she takes very deep interest IN the
carrying out of the designs with winch
the association was formed. One day, as
she sat looking out of the window over
Fifth avenue, she saw man peatng .
Door, shrunken, decrepit old horse at
tached to an ash cart. The young ladys
sympathy was aroused at once, and with
it her Indignation. She went out into me
street and asked the driver to abandon

ment during her iourneyshe continued to
hammer thS horse. Miss mgersol called
uporl q bystander to interfere. The by
stander refused. She then exhibited her
s. P. G. A. badge. The driver jeered at
her and went on humping the unfortu-
nate horse.
Miss Ingersoll seized the bride and was
dragged along the pavements, to the
great establishment of a lot of people in
masculine clothing, who looked on and
said nothing. Finally man rushed out
from the sidewalk and stopped the pro-
cession. A policeman approached, the
brutal driver was arrested, and the
wretched old horse was turned over to
the society. The animal was found to be
in such condition of illness that 1t was
considered necessary to shoot it outright,
and the driver was duly punished for his
cruelty. A good many Fifth avenue

The Rey. N. w. Jordan, one of the
pronineMt Methodist clergymen OF
Minneapolis, in an elaborate eight
column letter to the Methodist Herald
argues that the present exigencies OF
temperance reform do not demand q
third political party. The minister
presents any number of pointed facts,
and concludes that. the Republican
party In well nigh every Republican
state, by platform, by vote and In
congress also stands committed to
this reform; the Democratic party OF
the North is solidly opposed to
"sumptuary legislation" and III the
South, where 1t attempted better
things, has gone back on Its record
that If Cleveland is reelected there Is
every reason to tear that the supreme
court will be arrayed against pro-
hibit,on In four years. that the third
party, while it has done muchtoward
developing public sentiment, has
done nothing toward making restr:c'
tive laws.

The man who can give expression
to such sentiments as that Is surely

our humble opinion approaches more
nearly to the ideal citizen than the
person who could give vent to such a
TRADE of abuse as appeared in the col-
umus of the TRIBUNE.
This subject furnishes us occasion
to say what we have in substance
said several times before viz: That
the Republican party has fulfilled ita
mission. Now let it be understood
that it is In no unkind spirit that we
make such a statement. The Repub'
lican party is sectional party which
was organized in opposition the ex'
tension of slavery which was a sec
tionaI evil. That sectional evil has
been removed and the continuance o.
that sectional Organization serves on
ly to keep alive sectional strife. This
country does not consist of the North
ern states nor does it belong to the
Republican party. Neither does il
consist of the solid south and belong
the democratic party, but rather i
consists of the 4S states and territories
of the north and south and belongs tt
the people of the United States. Con
sequently parties should divide OF
lines of governmental policy and no
geographical lines.

Hot soups ON Railroatls.

sHow Is It. asked correspondent on q
western Pullman car, after having re-
ceived plate of green turtle soup, "that
you can make this soup SO quickly and
yet SO palatable7 / see no conveniences
on this train for cooking and preparing
green turtle"
1--WE do not make It on the train" was
the answer. "It is all prepared for us by
French chef In New York, who also
makes for us mock turtle, OK tail, con-
somme, tomato, Julienne, printanier, mutt
ton broth, vegetable, beef, French bouil-
lon, pea, chicken or mulligatawny, any
one Of which can supply you here hot
on the train OF a few minutes notice"
The passenger obtained the address Of
the chef, and on arriving In this city paid
him visit. A building four stories In
height Is used for business purposes, the
upper floor being the kitchen or soup max.
ing room. Here twenty employees were at
work cutting upmeat, chickens, vegetables
and sturtles; preparing the various soups
inlarge kettles, or pouring the savory COM
pound into cans Of different sizes or glass
bottles Of o peculiar shape. Each vessel,
after filing, was weighed. The tin cans
are made on the third floor of the build.
ing from bright tin plates. which are cut
up and shaped by machinery. The kitchen
where the soups were made was, on the
day Of the unexpected visit. q model Of
cleanliness, as was also every vessel used
In the preparation Of the delicacies. After
the cans are filed they are, while the con-
tents are still hot, Theoretically sealed by
machinery ct the rate OF 5000 day.
These cans vary In size from one plate Of
soup to enough for q party Of half O
dozen. After sealing, the cans aSe sent
to the vanishing and labelling rooms.
About dozen more employees are engaxzd
in this work, which, although done by
hand, is nearly as rapidly performed as
the sealing. The cans are then ready for
packing In cases to be sent to the differ
emit railroads, which work is done on the

have doubted the position taken by

scented by some Of ths planks In the

A Drop from the Sky.

TWo Ladies VII Drop Five I,hou8-
and Feet from q Balloon during the
State Fair.
The management of the State Fair
have secured at great expense the
most novel and exciting features ever
introduced in the State, which are
no less than two balloon ascensions
one OF which will be made by q lady,
the aeronauts to drop from a balloon
from the height of five thousand feet
and descend to the earth by means Of
a parachute. The aeronaut engaged
for these ascensions are Prot. Oscar
Hunt, Prof. J. w. Price, Mrs. Hunt
and Mrs. Price. The exact date for
these ascensions have not yet been
fixed. Prof. Price has made 286 as
tensions and ne has had some thrill
ing experiences. Mrs. Lottie Hunt
recently made an ascension at Chica-
60 Of nearly 5000 feet and dropped
with her parachute into Lake Michi-
gan, and was rescued unhurt. The
parachute used In these ascensions is
unlike any used heretofore and Is
Prof Prices invention. 1t has no
framework and ribs, and is held in
shape solely by ropes and hoop six
feet In diameter. When expanded
the balloon has spread of about 16
feet and length OF 20 feet. 1t hangs
from the neck Of the balloon and the
separation Is effected by pulling q
rope attached to a spring snap block.
The two ascensions willbe made from
the State Fair grounds sometime be-
tween September 10Th and 18th. One
ASCENSION and probably both will be.
made BY one Of the ladies mentioned
Prof. Price has made nearly three
hundred ascensions. He is q young
man, 26 years of age, but has had
seven years experience a. pro-

4 Noble Sentiment Eloqusntly. Expressed
James e. Blaine himself rarely
ever expressed a more noble senti.
ment in more eloquent manner
than the following, which is quoted
from the recent speech of Gen. Har-
Iison at the reception given him at
Toledo, Ohio:
II there is any one here present to-
night that knows of any land that
spreads more promising sky Of hope
above the head OF the poor and the
laboring man than this, would be
glad If he would name it. The ono
fact that do not need to stop to de-
monstrate by statistics, the one fact
/ could call out of the vast audience
hundreds Of witnesses to support by
their personal testimony il that the
scale of American wages is higher
than that Of any other country In the
world. If this were not true, why Is
1t that the workingmsn and working
women of the older land, turn their
faces hitherward IL there Is bet
ter country, one that offers better
wages, fuller hopes than this? Why
is 1t that these who are in quest OF
such better things have not found 1t
out and turned their faces thither-
ward? Now IL that is true, then why
10 1t true and how 10 to be continued
the condition of our country 1t is be-
cause and only because we have for
years, by our protective tariff, dis-
criminated In favor of American
manufacturers and American work
men. Strike down this protective
system, bring our workingmen and
working women into equal compete
tiol in the products OF their toll with
those who labor abroad and nothing
IL clearer than that these mills and
factories must reduce wages here to
the level with wages abroad or they
must shut down.

The st. Paul Dispatch estimates
the strength Of the three Republican
candidates for governor to be as fol-
lows: McGill, SO; Schefrer, AZ; Mer-
riam, $50; doubtful, SO. This estimate
is founded on the results Of the con-
yentions already held, and ON the re-
ports of correspondents at tho differ
ent county seats in the state. This
estimate may turn out to be correct,
but it is just as likely to prove to be
away off. You can't most Away tell
what will be result OF county con-
vention before It Is holden.
P. S.-Since the above was in type
the st. Paul primaries have been
held and thereby it is settled that the
Ramsey county delegation will be
solid for Scheffsr, making his strength
in convention 81, according to the
estimate OF the Dispatch. Unless We
are greatly mistaken Scheffer''
strength will be good deal more
than that, ana the otner 1.-TWO c8hol
dates will find that he will be al i'm
portant factor in the conyention
Possibly he may be strong enough
there to dictate terms" Strange
things have happened in the history o
political conventions in this country
And then again possibly that all thes
candidates will be dropped, and
"dark horse" by the name of Rhe
may win the prize. In that case tn
TRIBUNE would be just more thai
pleased. The way the old soldier
would hooper up for Judge Rhe
would astonish the Democracy. II
would be elected governor by at leas
