AnOtlpr RtIUnhOO.

The republican party seems to be unable to conduct its presidential campaign without a bugaboo of some sort to frlghten voters into support ofits ticket
 For dozen years after the war was over and all its settlements were secure beyond peradveuture 1t was the rebel" bugaboo that did service. Voters were told that fl. the democrats were given power the confederate debt would be paid, confederate soldiers pen sloned, the negroes relegated to new sla- very and the fruits of the wari ID general destroyed.
 Familiarity soon bred contempt for this campaign spooiS, especially as every southern state found peace and prosperity and the negroes better protection than ever before under democratic local government
 Four years ago new bugaboO was neces- sary, and the "buslness interest,"" scarescrow was brought out The voters were warned that democretic success meant destruction of the nations credit, mismauagement Of its finances and blue ruin for business inter- ests.
 Three years of greater general prosperity than the country has known before consecu- ,lvcly since 1S73, and as conservative and successful management Of the treasury as was ever known. in spite Of the embarrsss- ment of a surplus, give the answer to those demAgogic prophecies Of evil.
 And nov it is the tariff bugsboo Presi- dent Cleveland and his administration and I62 congressman, representing over 5000, UOO voters are bent upon running American in- dustrles and pauperlzlng labor in the inter est of England This is the ediotle invcn- tion that Is relied upon 10 frighten the Amer. ican people from voting for a reduction of surplus producing taxes upon their neeessi- ties
 As the people are not idiots, we do not be lIeye they will be either fooled or frightened. e nfap York HOrti

Versatile.

man named Rains has been arrested by government officials at San Francisco, who is probably ths most numerous villain that was running loose. He was Baptist minister, running revival in Texas town, Q few years ago. A train was delayed at the town, and the train hands went over to the church to listen to the rcvivalist The preacher got an old deacon, who always prayed long and loud, 10 pray, while the good man slipped out of tbe back door of the church and robbed the mail car of registered letters. He return ed with the money in his pocket and exhort- ed the train hands to turn from the evil of their ways, and repent before 1t is everlast- ingly too late. This seems almost like a ia. ble, but 1t is true, and the man has been fol . lowed for years and has finally been arrested. He was gambler, spirtualsf, aud general robber. No more versatile cuss has ever been known in this country. Imagine those de- luded railroad hands going over to hear that celebrated preacher, and while they were lis tenipg to the scoring up by the old deacon, the preacher was rflng the tram of valuables A play could be written on the subject that would discount Dr. Jekyll and Mir.

Harrison and iIovsy.


 The Indiana republican convention called for Porter but tontented Itself with another Aud different tap.
 Notwithstanding the strong preference ex. pressed for the ex-governor there ie no fea5on why Congressman Heyey shotld not poll the Hull party strength. The burden of the com baifn in Indiana lies not upon the state but upon tho national ticket Responsibility for the loss or gain of the state has been placed upon General Harrison, and Hovey will prob ably prove as useful a lieutenant as any other available nominee. In 1876 Indiana republic ans bad no representative upon the national ueket aud were confronted by the fact that q popular Hoosier democrat, Mr. Hendricls was candidate for second place. Then, as now, Indiana was one of the battle fields. It tested with the republicans to make the ut most of their state ticket Their nomination of dodloye Orth was so unfortunate that they were compelled to retire him, and the iaooring oar was assigned 10 General Harri- son. The campaign was one of the most striking in the history of Indiana. Blue Jeans" Williams, an angular, homely, but honest character who had astounded extrav- sgant congressman by his straightforwsrd de- mand for economy in little as in big things, was the democratic nominee for governor Handicapped by the circumstances of his nomination Harrison made the best race pos slble and was defeated, almost distanced. He is now a candidate for the presidency, with notice served upon him that unless be carry his own state he has not the shadow of hope. He is now to benefit by factor dis tincuy recognizable in political contests and denominated state pride. Its influence was felt in Indiana for Hendricks, but failed in behalf of English. It may now be of service to Harrison. Under these circumstances the state nominations are of secondary consider. atlon. The whole weight of the repn biicau campaign in Indiana rtsn upon Harrison himself -EhicanO Tinea

Dakota's Naturl Soap

A natural soap well has been discovered slxty-eight miles west of Buffalo Gap, D. T. The soap is skinned from a boiling spring and hardens by exposure to the air. It is like soft clay and can be gathered with a shovel, and is supposed to be . mixture of alkalL borax and the lubricating oil found in many parts of Wyoming. A sample has been tested by @ prominent Chicago soap manufacturer, aud he reports the discovery worth the full weight of the manufactured article. Parties surrounding the springs have used the natur- tbe oil discovered there, and IL is pronounced the finest material ever used for tbat purpose. The soap will wash in the hardest of water and leave the hands much softer than the or dinary article. The supply is supposed 10 be inexhaustible.

PRESIDENT SMITH,
OF THE FLINT a1AsswoRkERs,
In tho CITY in Conference with PrOmInsn
Local omolAis Concerning the Alleged
Scale COntraot..His Views as to
the situation 10 the East.

President William Smith, OF the Amer
lean Flint Glassworkers' Union, arrived
in this city last evening from Pittsburgh.
He was met here by Mssars. Butler,
Peccari, Burt and other well known eff.
GERS of the Union, and spent the evening
till q late hour in conference with them.
After the little meeting dispersed, after
midnight last night, a reporter learned
that President Smiths visit was with o
view to inquire into the alleged existence
Of contracts governing the wages to be
paid for year a. the two glsss houses
here and the DalSell works at Wellsburg,
A prominent glass worker explained to
an IETRLLIGRScRR reporter that the Union
claimed TO have contract with all three
factories named, though only President
Scott, Of the Central, had offered to sub
nit to arbitrator the question whether
such contract docs exist. Said the
worker quoted:
"Ths men regard the shut down al
Hobbs, Brockunisr & Co.'S as an incident
Of the expiration Of the copartnership
there. Had the works not stopped FOL
that reason, the claim that the scale had
been accepted and was binding for year
would have been made in regard to that
works too. We do claim this to be the
Caae st the Dalzsll works"
It was learned that while the propoIal
has not yet been carried out by the ap-
poIntmsnt OF arbitrator, President scott'l
offer to arbitrate will in ell probability be
accepted. There will be no suits brought
to enforce the contract, at any rate.
President Smith has just returned from
q tour Of the East looking into the strike in
the factories there. He ia very much en-
couraged by the outlook for a settlement
there. Ali efforts to ascertain his feeling
In regard 10 the situation in the Western
section were futile.
Referring to the abatement that the glass
manufacturers executive committee is
waiting for an answer to the communities
ton transmitted to the Workmen's exeCu.
tive committee recently, Mr.. Smith said
the ansWerWould reach the manufacturers
in q very few days.
The negotiations here with reference to
the arbitration Of the contract question at
the Central factory are between President
Scott and his employee, aud not with the
National Union formally, although that
Union approves Of that arrangement and
gives its full consent to it.
The men say that only one question, aa
the matter now stands, can be considered
with the piece work factoIieh-which in
clude all factories In the West except the
two here and the Dalzsll factory at Wells
burg-and this one question is the wages
Of the gathering boys, which Is the only
part OF the new Union scsle upon which
an agreement had not been reached when

lively gang, consisting Of three men, two
women and two dogs. The men were
George Englehardt, Matthew Blazer and
Russsll Malcolm. The women were Susan
EnRlehardt and Mary Winger. The
names OF the dogs did not appear on the

but being with the crowd followed along
and shared with the two.legRsd mem
bers the quarters allotted to them
behind the bars. The aggregation was
arrested In EnRlebardes boat house, alt

ing q free and easy row. The trouble ap-
pears to have originated from George be.
