INDIANAPOLIS, Ind Sept. 2s-Secretery
Sheerin of the national committee,
answering an attack of the journal to-
day that regarding Harriso1's one-doIlar-
eday utterance the democratic managers
have publicly disoTned their own bas-
tard falsehoods," says: every one in
politics knows that these stories about
General Harrison have Sean floating
around among workingmen for years ard
that the workingmen opposed him two
years ago in his race for the senate.
Ear'y in the campaign the journal col
lected number of these stories which
came to the surface at various points,
placarded them as lies, and offered re-
wards for proof of them. The Knights
of Labor took up the gauntlet, submitted
their statements, and offered to produce
sworn testimony before a committee of
business men, as proposed by the Jour
nal. MIR. New, in his New York interview,
then objected TO the statements because
they were not sworn to, and
said that the reward would be paid if
e sworn statement was made by any rep
utable citizen, and that he would arrest
sucn amaut lor perjury ag once. 1he
knights then offered tbs affidavit of Mr..
Schwarz to meet this new proposition
Now the journal comes forward with q
new proposition entirely. 1t proposes
that MessrS. Jewett, Laggart, OF myself,
none of whom We're present at the meet
ing, shall make the charge, and that the
Knights of Labor, With whom it has been
contending, shall bo laid TO one side. We
shall pay no more attention to this pro-
posal than We did to the first or second"

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 29.-Of Henry Smith,
endorsed to-day, by the democrats of this
district for congress, the Journal this
evening says:
There Is hardly man in Milwaukee
better known to ali condition of people
than Henry Smith, who has lived here
from boyhCoi, and hes always been
prominent because of his fearless manner
of advocating what he believed to be
right, no matter how his opinions might
strike Others, or what effect they might
have on his personal or political pros
poets. Being q rniliwr1ght By trade, ard
putting his physical a well as men-
tai requirements into the work he
naturally became more intimate in mis-
relations with his employees than most
men are, and this knowledge and the con-
fdence il engendered is what has made
him so strong with the workipgnen that
when they decided to nominate a coz
gresham OF their Owl, no other name
was even mentioned. Before being
elected TO his present piecs Mr.. Smith
had served IN the council and the legis,a-
ture, was city com mptrolIer tor two years,
and was generally looked on as & man of
weisht ard influence in the community.
When he went to congress the general
opinion among the politicians was that
he would be lost, and that At the end OF

two years even the clerk would have for
gotten what be looked like. As has often
happened before, the politicians we're
mistake en-. He became neither obscure
Dor Ridiculous; but simply kept right
along attending to his business, and
voting as he sss fit, until the Mills bill
was under discussion. Then he arose to
the occasion, voted for the best interests
of the working men to whom he owed
his election, and defended the vote after
WARDS with one or two letters that made
the parties they were addressed to sorry
tbgtthey had driven him iuto the public
prints. The stand he took for reform in
taxation attracted the attention of the
country generally, and it is questionable
whether Wisconsin has another repressn
tative now in congress who has been the
theme of so much newspaper comment,
or against whom SO much money and
work will be employed between now and

claims to be an infallible cure for hydro
ph0bia.
Elecampane root one ounce and a half,
bruised and put in one pint Of new milk,
reduced to one-helf pint by boiling, is the
proper dose for an adult. Fssi for sever
al hours after taking. II peat the dose,
increasing the eiecampsne root to two
ounces, for the second aud third day, and
no fear need be felt concerning the mat
ter sfterwsrd. For a morse or COW make
the dose four times a. large, and if given
before the spasms come on, the remedy is
infallibe.

OF INTEREST To FARMERS.

The public 4ebu reduction for the
thirty daya of September is s12 247 OPS
This is as muca as it ought to be In
year. Then what do farmers think or 1t;
the protection that put this surplus of
I2,247,025 of dollars in tbs treasury, put
not a cent less than 100000
into the pockets of few
protected millionaries and all this
this came out of the pockets of the farm
ers and workingmen u1der the shallow
pretense that it inoreases Wages and the
price of wheat. Il ought to make the
price of wheat S25 brshl to
enable the farmer to get nearly
even with such diaboiical system. Then
still farther to think that the Only
use that the government can make of
such supIus is to buy per cent. bonds
at % per cent. premium. What do farm
ers think of carrying big mortgages and
paying 6 and 8 per cent. interest
while they are taxed at this outrageous
rate to buy up debt not due for twenty
years, and which is only drawing 4 per
cent. interest. IF the farmers of this
congressional district do not like such n
infamous system Of ex.ortiOn az this TO
continne all for the benefit OF protected
miilionaires they can help TO bring
about a remedy by voting for Prof. J.
Parkinson for congress in place of Mr.
r. M. La Toilette who voted against the
little reduction Of this shameless extor-
ton rs provided in tie Mills bill. If
farmers want to go on protecting mil
lionaire and paying the public debt Ia
this internal manner then they should all
turn out and vote for Mr.. La Toilette.
That is all there is in this congressional |
contest and no farmer ought to be so |
blind as not to be able to see i.

THE NEWS REACHES THE COAST.

The People Elated but Fear. the Courts Will be
Obliged to Admit all Chinamen Who Ap
ply.
Sac FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-Tha news of
President Clevelsnds approval Of the
Chinese exclusion bill was received here
to-day with marked degree of interest.
Large crowds oongregated around the
newspaper bulletin boards and discussed
the situation. The news reached the Chi
nese quarter early, and the announce
ment of the approval of the bill was
soon posted on the bulletin board
there. The Chinese manifested consid-
erable excitement. The principal sub
iece of discussion here is as to what effect
1t will have upon the several thousand
Chinese who have arrived here within .he
past yegr and have been landed by federal
courts dpon writs of hebess corpus and
are out on bail awaiting examination, and
also upon the two thousand Chinese
who are now on their way to thi.
port. About 200 Chiness arrived
here Saturday on the steamer City of
New York. The Belgi ic will be due next
Thursday with 500 more. Three other
steamers are now on the Pacific with
over thousand Celestials bound for
this port. There is considerable specu
letion as to whether the courts will per-
nit thess Cinnamon to come ashore on
writs of habeas corpus, aud then release
them upon bail, pending their examina
tion, or compel them to remain aboard
the steamers and return to their own
country.
COLLECTOR OF THE Pog1 EAoER,
expressed himself to day as being doubt
ful of the bills effectiveness. The
present bill" he said, sis intended to eI
clude Chinese. So was the restriction
act; bat did the restriction act exclude
them! II the sans principle is applied
to this bill as was applied to the
other, l don't see that it is
going to bs any great Improvement. If
the courts csu continue to land Chinese
on writs of habeas corpus, and allow them
on our soii on bail, tia. will ebrogsts any
kigd OF restriction attempted by con-
gresE. When they are allowed bail they
are in the country and they then forfeit
their bail and remain ii spite OF the law.
The collector concluded By stating that
in ali probability he would when official
Iy informed of the passage and approval
Of the bill, refuse landing to Chinese
whether bearing return certificates or
not, unless writs of habeas corpus were
Issued By the courts, in which Gaze the
mater would be out of his hands.
UNITED STATES DISTRICT ATTORNEY cAEzr
stated that in his opinion the bill could
not ef-c. the 5 900 Chinese nov out on
bail, but be believed ths. those nov on
their way hero would be refused land
ing. He state6 that hs did not believe
vrits of hsbess corpus would be Issued
except possibly in one or two cases in
order to make a test of the matter IN the
courts

TIE republicans are vigorously circu-
lating in the west, the story that the
democrats have no hope OF carrying New
York. This yarn is necessary to discour-
age democratic effort in the doubtful
states of the west. The plain truth is
that the democrats have never for one
moment doubted thar ability to carry
New York, and if any do0bts ever existed
they are fast being disPelled as the cam
paigp progresses. The duty of each sol
dier in battle is to fight the enemy in
his own front. The story of the enemy
that he will crush your line at some other
