General Harrison's Letter.

General Harrison's letter of accept
ance has not half the ability and force
of the letter OF President Cleveland,
and it will create not half the conf
dence or the enthusiasm. 1t is in some
respects an effort on the part of the
writer to put himself ON the Demo-
cratic platform, and it is also a repro
duction of some Of his utterances of
years ago, which are not calculated to
make him popular in this campaign.
General Harrison insists that the Mills
bill is q step towards free-trade,
whether it is called " tariff reform
or whatever term may be applied to
it; and adds that the term is a matter
of small Importance in comparison
with "the assault ITSELF" The General
is opposed to the assault" and he
has nothing to present to take its
place except some vague theories and
platitudes Of no practical value what
ever. In other words, he is cOntented
to let the war tariff remain, with its
favoritism to the rich, and its absolute
injustice to the working-man-a very
natural conclusion in view OF its origin
with a corporation lawyer and a men,
ber of the party which has most of the
wealth OF the country and strongly be-
lieves in monopolies, or trusts. In
another part of the letter the General
opposes trusts, the better to give him.
self popularity. which he sadly lacks;
but OF course q war-tariff man is un-
avoidably man for the continuance
of old monopolies and trusts. and the
creation Of new ones. The General
turns his back ON his Chinese record,
which shows that he voted for unre-
stricted Chinese immigration first. last

the Globe frankly admits that the
services Of the railroad attorney ''for
nearly one whole week" fairly entitled
him to receive q higher compensation
than the services of switchmen for

receive. But Mr.. Harrison's opinion
that seven dollars for whole week is
q reasonable compensation for the
services of the common railroad

week are reasonably worth one thou

Pat Ford's War Record.

Pat Ford continues to make no allu-
sion in his Irish World to the official
documentary evidence that he was a
deserter from the Union army during
the war. He appears to be receiving
aid from the National Republican Com
mittee, for he says over his signature
that he is sending gratituously copies
Of his paper ''to names suggested to
him. To the persons receiving these
copies he makes a moving appeal for
help in electing Harrison. We place
the closing paragraphs Of this appeal
side by side with transcript from the
war records of Massachusetts, fur
nished by the Adjutant-G General of that
State:

pushes this difference beyond the ut

The Peaks OF Pyramid Lake.

Miss Julia Hyde of this city, writing
from Sheepshead, Washoe county, gives
the following passing glance at Pyramid
lake: Il shall never forget the first sight
of the lake. It was simply grand. We
drove along the shore for twenty-five
miles. For long time we were in sight
of the towering pyramidal rock from
which the lake derives its name. South
of this rock. in the center of the lower
portion of the lake, is another large mass
Of rock, which resembles a pyramid in
form; and near the northwest end or
corner of the lake are what are called
The Three Pyramids Seen from dis
lance they present the appearance of
three pyramids, but when you reach
part Of the lake near them you find they
number about dozen. The water Of
the lake is deep and beautiful blue.
Waves at times rise to an astonishing
height on the lake, and breakers roll in
upon the shore, which are quite formid-
able.
II think have never in my life seen
more glorious sunset than that / wit
messed here on the evening of nv ar
rival The western sky was mass Of
purple, vermihon and gold, resembling
painted and gilded towers. From the
deep blue of the lake rose the sun tipped
pyramids of the lower world, as though
towering to meet those Of the more
ethereal realms above, while between all

A Pneumatic Railway.

Jules Verne, the wonderful French In
ventor Of scientific fairy tale, has published
little sketch founded on the idea Of Col.
Pierce, the American engineer, who has pro-
mulgated the notion OF connecting Europe
and America by pneumatic railway under
the Atlantic. Verne tells how IN America he
is most courteously received by the chairman
Of the Pneumatic Tube Railway company at
the terminus OF the Boston-Liverpool rail
way; the chairman says to him: The rails
Of our submarine line run through hugo
tubs OF the size of en- ordinary tunnel, two
such tubes connecting America and England
Through enc the line runs 10 and through the
other from each country. The number of

KANGAROO COURT.
Rules Established by Prisoners In
the City Jail.


Inmates of the City Prison have emu
lated the example OF their confreres con-
fined in the County Jail and have estab-
lished kangaroo Court" Kangaroo
courts are common in jails throughout
the country, and, strange to say, jailers
assert, are beneficial alike to the perpetu-
alton OF proper discipline in the institu-
tions and to those confined in them.
From the inmates those confined select
a magistrate, who presides over the
kangaroo Court. He establishes his
own codes, rules and regulations, and
the penalty for all offenses is the inflic-
ton OF so many slaps with what is dubbed
"cob." This "cob" is no more nor
less than huge piece OF strap, which is
laid numerically hard upon the inmate
who violates the laws OF the court.
Chief Cuddy's children yesterday adopted
the kangaroo" system, and appended
are the rules and regulations of the
court:
Rule 1. Splitting on the floor strictly
prohibited.
Rule 2. All loud talking, after 8
o'clock, prohibited.
Rule 8. No lounging on anybody's bed
without the permission Of the fellow
sleeping on it.
Rule A. All nipping from one another
strictly prohibited.
Rule 5. All persons must wash their
clothes at least once a week.
Rule 6. All prisoners must be prompt
at the call of court.
Rule 7. All prisoners must stand at
least four feet from the door while an
other prisoner is in conversation with a
fellow on the outside of the door.
Rule 8. All blankets must be folded
before breakfast.
Rule 0. All rubbish or dirt must be
cleaned up by the fellow making it. II
he does it again he shall get ten "cobs"
Tor the second offense.
Rule 10. Any prisoner leaving the jail
and getting in here again without any
! tobacco or cigaretts on him, will be
| fined or "cobbed," according to the
| judgment of the Court
Kule IL. Any prisoner begging tobacco
or cigarettes off another when he has
them himself shall receive ten soles
and - well laid on.
Any prisoner not complying with these
rules will be dealt with by the Court.
Miller Clayton says the Court, Paddy
Duggan, a 60-day man, is severe ON the
boys and they obey his orders implicitly.
Clayton says the Court is a good thing
and that in keeping the prison clean its
rules and regulations aid him immeas-
urably.
