HARRISON WILL WIN.


With Hands Eown, Is the Opinion of Ex.
Secretary Weeks.
PITrsBuEdM, Pa, August 24.-NIr,
Joseph D. Weeks, one OF Pittsburgh's
high tariff men, who resigned the re-
sponsiblo position Of Secretary of the
Tariff League, several weeks ago, arrived
in the city yesterday afternoon and will
remain here. For several months
past Mr. Weeks has been in New York
City looking after the interests
OF the League, with occasional
visits to this city to look after his
private business. The work was too
difficult and Mr.. Weeks decided to with
draw from the Tariff League. His re-
sination was accepted on condition that
he would remain until the responsible
position could be filled. Ex-Governor
Henry NJ. Hoyt, Of this State, was finally
engaged and assumed the duties of the
office the other day, In conversation
with reporter yesterday afternoon Mr..
Weeks said:
81 am now private citizen and will
devote my time to my papers, the Ameri-
ean Manufacturer and the Amricm Poo
plc, and also the duties OF Secretary OF
the Western Iron Association. This Or
ganization is intact and was not broken
up by the recent wage differences with
tile Amalgamated Association. The
Manufacturers Association which was
formed in 1882 to regulate wages was the
one that went to pieces. The pig iron,
the sheet iron aud other manufacturers
organizations remain intact"
Mr.. Weeks believes that a protective
tariff will win against low tariff in the
coming Presidential election, and for
months has been in position to obtain
good proofto bear out his opinion. Upon
being told that it was predicted that the
Republican party would carry all the
Northern States with the exception OF
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Indiana, he said:
"This would give the Republicans lS2
electors and the Democrats l52 outside
OF the four States that are classed us
doubtful. The Democrats, however, are
given Virginia and West Virginia, which
will likely 20 Republican or should have
been placed in the doubtful list. II in
diana and New Jersey or Connecticut give
Harrison majority the Republicans
can win easily. There is no doubt in
my mind but TINT New York will give
Harrison and Morton majority. Dur
ing my six months residence 10 New
York city Ibid not lind man who voted
for Blaine four years ago who intends
to vote for Cleveland this fall, but
did find n number OF very prominent
manufacturers and business men who
voted for Cleveland, but who will
support Harrison this time, Among
th6n, is phusber, tho big grocer,
whose business extends all over the
country. Cleveland's majority was only
l,l47, believe, and this can be easily
overcome. State pride will not permit
Indiana voters to allow Harrison to be
defeated in that State. Connecticut is
coming around all right, and the Repub'
iican ticket will very likely rereiYe The
electoral vote OF every Northern State
and, as | said before Virginia and West
| Virginia.

PITTSBURGH, August 94.-The main
lines east Of the Pennsylvania and Bal
timore & Ohio railroads were opened to
through trains this afternoon for tho
first time since the flood of Tuesday.
This afternoon through train arrived
on the Baltimore & Ohio, and the Penn
sylvania road sent out an express over
the main line for the East. The wash
outs on both roads were worse than at
first reported. Yesterday the Pennsyl'
vania road had made temporary bridge
at Larimer, where the culvert was
washed out. They started an engine
over the bridge TO test it and it gave
way, aud thus the running Of trains di-
rect was delayed longer than was ex.
peCted. The Wheeling division of the
Baltimore & Ohio is still obstructed and
the indications are that the repairs will
not be completed for a week or two.

ada in the act passed by last Congress,
but certain Democrats denied this, say
ing that the law gave him authority in
certain contingencies, such as continued
outrages on American vessels, but it did
not give him the power he now asked to
prohibit the transportation OF Canadian
goods in bond through the United States,
nor TO charge tolls on American canals
similar to those charged Americans on
the Welland Canal.
The paper is regarded us political
document pure and simple. It is a bold
effort to regain the prestige lost by the
Democrats in the New England and
Northwestern States, and to divert the
attention OF the people at large from the
discouraging features of Mills free
trade bill.

on by fishing owners. twas the opin-

here wanted retaliation as outlined in
the message. An embargo placed on
Canadian fish and the same treatment as
Americans receive would be all that
would be required to settle the difficulty
between the two countries. On the
other hand the men who man the YES
sells are unanimous in their opinions
that what the President has proposed
is lust and right.

WhistIing Women.

Whistling has been popularly styled

probability being that when persons are

lit is a widespread superstition that il is
at all times unluckv for them to whistle,
which, according to one legend | have
heard, originated fu the circumstance
that while the nails for our Lords cross
were being forged woman stood by and
whistled. CuriOusly enough, however,
one very seldoms hears any of the super
ior sex indulging in this recreation, al
though there is no reason, as it has often
been pointed out, why they should not
whistle with as much facility as men.
Indeed, Mrs. Shaw illustrates to what
heights of perfection a tasteful, cultivated
lady may attain in this charming recrea-
ton. One cause, perhaps, of the absence
of this custom among ladies may be in a
measure due to the distortion of the
features which it occasions. Thus, we

proved so fatal to Marsyas when she be,

The re-opened discussion of the buffalo
question calls for few statements con-
cerning these animals in Texas. Two
hundred head or more of these animals
may be found in the Panhandle of Texas,
on the Llano Estacado, and in No Mans
Land. Some are on the Palo Duro Canyon
ranch, owned by Capt. Charles Good
night; others in the Texas Capital syndi-
cate, or NIT pasture, especially on the
North plains, i. G., north of the Canadian
river; still others are at large. Probably
twenty or more buffalo calves were cap
tured this spring in that region and
driven to Kansas for mercenary and
breeding purposes. The cowboys ideal,
kethat of the more refined sportsman,
is to shoot these cattle at sight, but the
proprietors Of the ranches are doing
much for their protection.
There are also many buffalo on the
South plain. The antelope, black tailed
deer and many rare but smaller man.

According to medical contemporary,
DR.. Gouveneur L. Smith, of New York,
has just given some interesting and
startling facts in regard to pneumonia.
DR.. Smith points out that the disease is
becoming worse every year, increasing
ratsler than decreasing, both in the num-
Der of cases and the percentage of NOR
tality The statistics of the Pennsyl-
vania hospital show that the mortality
from pneumonia there advanced from
81 per cent. in 1847 to 1874 per cent in
1867, and 81 per cent. in 1886. Similarly,
in the New York hospital the ratio of
mortality from this disease is more than
double that it was in 1878. Thirty or
forty years ago it was regarded as seri-
GUS, but it did not excite anything like
the alarm it does today. Dr. Smith is
rather inclined to believe that the
medical art. instead of progressing in its
treatment of pneumonia, has actually
gone back. and holds that the methods
of treating the disease at the time it was
less deadly have been abandoned for me-
thods more finical, but less efficacious.-
