on the campaign in her own peculiar way
Tor Gen. Alger is necessarily different from
what 1t was when she was laboring in the in
terests of her own husband. But her tact to
work in winning friends Is remarkable.
Mrs. Pullman has been her lifelong friend,
and whenever Mrs. Logan Is 10 the city she
makes the Pullman mansion her home. Here
sue Is enabled to receive her friends in ele-
gance and in a becoming manner. Mrs. LO
gan sees everybody who calls on her, wheth-
er he be poor, ragged, manned veteran or
the governor of State. She sees them all.
For one she has word of kindness and sym
pathy, and the other she receives in a be-
coming. manner. The demeanor of Mrs.
Logan is calculated to win her friends every
wnere, and word spoken in behalf OF
friend, no matter whom, always finds due
weight and consideration, and she has a
wonderful knack of remembering names and
faces. and when she recognizes Il familiar
face she always calls him or her by name,
which of course has its effect, more especial
ly during political campaign.
Mrs. Platt is here also. She sat, a disti1-
guished woman, in the front row of the bal
cony today. She is distinguished in herself
She has a noble front, clear cut head, a
superb physique, and her husband is at the
head Of the table.
Mrs. Fremont. once Jessie benton, is also
here Thirty years ago hers was q name name
and portly, but still charming and graceful.
Mrs. Thurston, the wife of the temporary
chairman, worked like beaver in her hus-
bands interest.
If anyone thinks that Mrs. Nj. H. De-
Young has not done her share in bringing
her hobby to the 'front.' anyone is very much
mistaken.

THE WOMEN THERE.
Feminine Tact Amid the Great Conn
pIIcations at Chicago.

lChicago Dispatch to Boston Globe.l
The woman element in the convention
preliminaries has been very conspicuous.
Take Mrs. Logan for instance. Why under
heavens should she bother her head about
politicsP When John was living, yes; now
that he is gone, no. For the past few Iays
she has been in the city, the guest Of Mrs.
George l.. Pullman. Mrs. Logan's visit at
this time has much significance, and may
have considerable influence in determining
the results of the convention.
Her son, John ]. Logan, Jr and his father
in-law, G. II. Andrews, the millionaire
iron manufacturer of Youngstown, Ohio,
are also here, and all have as their object the
nomination Of General Russell A. Aiger of
Michigan as the Republican candidate for
president There is method in their work
and 1t Is accomplishing much in quiet way.
Mrs. Logan has been entertained socially by
Mrs. ID. .. Stone and others of rank in So
ciety, and at lunche0ns any other entertain
ments she has met the wives of the most dis
tinguished and influential delegates who are
to attend the convention. In this way she
has been able to do great deal of really
profitable missionary work, which will count
when the time comes for Alger, the devoted
friend Of her late husband. not in the silly
line of presidential nomination, but on a
lower perch.
The reception given a few nights ago by
the Union Veteran Club to Mrs. Logan at
the Grand Pacific Hotel, while not intended
to be such, was in reality a boom for General
Alger. Mrs. Logan took occasion to get in
her work with that peculiar feminine tact
for which she Is so noted.
Mrs. Logan is undoubtedly great woman.
She Is well educated and refined, and She is
wonderful diplomat and a most excellent
Judge of human character. Her great success
lies largely in the latter fact When her
husband was alive she was always by his
side and assisted him in carrying out his
campaigns. General Logan often admitted to
the writer that Mrs. Logan was a far better
canpaigner than he, and more polite. and
whatever political success he had attained he
owed more largely to his devoted wife, who
own individual energy. When he was too
poor to hire a secretary, Mrs. Logan an
swered his correspondence and she always
revised his speeches. The wonderful physi-
cal and mental strength of Mrs. Logan is
shown by her appearance today She still
wears the weeds of widowhOod, and the
great grief which she endured through the
loss Of her husband has left its burrows on
her brow. But that beautiful, classic face Is
resuming its old smile, and she is as kind,
gracious, modest and affable as in the DAYS
when she stood by her husband during the
campaign of 1884. her grief has been great
ly assuaged by the reverence in which her
husbands memory is held by the old soldiers
and the memorial which she desires to see
erected to his memory has given her a new
lease of life. Her hair is grey, but her step
elastic as ever. Her method of carrying

The Hon. S. S. Brown has completed the
division of the city of Waterville into seven
wards and it is needless to say that the
work is wonderfully done. There are big
wards, and little wards, and chunky wards,
and slim wards; but no very symmetrical
ones as they appear to the eyes of the
ordinary observer But Chairman Brown
has probably seen to it that there are
coralled within the lines Of his own ward
sufficient number Of Democratic voters to
keep him in the Alderman's seat, and that in
at least three other wards there are healthy
Democratic majorities likewise. One ward
somewhat resembles horses leg and hoof,
and is probably intended to commemorate
the kick which landed Mr.. Brown off the
State committee; while the one next to it.,
resembling ham may be intended for a
picture-writing story of how he saved his
bacon by getting nominated for Congress.
The other wards. which are exceedingly
irregular, are no doubt mysterious symbols

Mayor Hewitt thinks one term as Mayor
OF New York is enough for him, and will
decline reominaticn. Had he like most Of
New York's mayors shut his eyes to the cor
ruption and extravaganza, which had grown
up under his predecessors, and suffered the
boys" to have their own way no doubt
he could have passed pleasufable four
years. But he was not willing to do that,
and his belligerent disposition. aggravated
by nervous dyspepsia, frequently impelled
him to kick up rumpus when there was no
occasion for one. Hence his administration
has been a bed OF thorns instead OF roses.
The relief which he undoubtedly experiences
that his term of Office is soon to end is I'M
doubtedly shared in by the small politicians
and local bosses who have found in him an
insuperable obstacle to the accomplishment
Of their schemes. Taken as a whole his adj
ministrstion has been very creditable,
although 1t has been somewhat marred by
petulance and peevishncss.

AN ADMIRABLE CONVENTION.
Ellsworth Americana
The Republican State convention held at
Portland last week was in many respects
we may say In nearly all respects--one of the
most remarkable ever held in Maine. First
we may notice the fact that of the / ,44S dele
gates entitled to a seat, ,442, or more than
ss5 per cent OF them were present, noble
looking representatives of a noble party.
We sat upon the stage and watched them
with pride and pleasure. Almost every
city, town and plantation, almost every bus
mess calling and profession known to Maine
was represented. M en- came there with
their opinions and preference, as they had a
right to do and ought to do, and stood up
manfuily, though conrteously, for them, but
when the opinion of the majority was ex-
pressed, the minority yielded their own in
dividual desires and thenceforward knew no
political ambition except the laudable one
TO work In harmony with the voice of the
great Republican Party expressed by its
representatives in convention assembled.

TO be continued }

In answering interrogatories of cor
respondent. the Minneapolis Journal
presents the following sensible remarks
on the tariff.
The Journal does believe, rs a gem
eral proposition. that the foreign man
ufacturer pays the protective tax on the
imported article. This is true when
viewed from several sides of the case.
The foreign manufacturer pays the duty
if it is paid at all, when the price of
the domestic product falls below the

political organization of that city.

or he must reduce the wages of his en-
ployes to the European scale, and pro.
badly both would result. in a measure,
for we know well enough that the work
ingmen of America are not going to
submit tamely to such reduction. De-
moralization of domestic industries is
sure to result. That is what the foreign
manufacturer is hoping tor. Then.
with our factories crippled or closed
and unable to compete with the foreign
producer, up would 60 the prices again.
That is not merely surmise based on so
reliable a premise as human nature,
but matter of previous actual expe.
rience.
Ii the foreign manufacturer pays the
tariff tax, why does the JOURNAL advo-
cate any reduction whatever? That is
fair question and requires fair an
swer. The inference might be, possib-
", that If the foreign manufacturers
pay the tariff taxes what difference does
it make how high they arep Or, since
the money goes to the government, why
not the higher the better? These ques-
tions suggest their own answer. If the
tariff were made too high there would
be none Of it paid, and if there is never
to be possibility Of the Importation of
the foreign article one of the forces
which tend to further reduction in prices
is removed. There remains then no
danger of outside competition and the
dangers OF combination between home
manufactures to advance prices is en-
hanced. The tariff should be so adjust
ed to every industry needing. and de-
serving protection as to give the home
manufacturer the necessary advantage
over his foreign competitor, but not so
as to enable him to abuse that advan-
tage. When he does abuse his advan-
tage is the only time that the consumer
can, with any possible show of justice,
complain of paying the tariff.
Another reason why the JOURNAL is
in favor of q revision of the tariff is that
we have undertaken to protect some ar
ticles that can never be developed to
such an extent as TO materially affect
the price of the imported article
ably sugar.
The proper way, therefore, to pre-
vent the tariff from becoming burden
instead Of benefit is not to abolish it
altogether, but to keep it closely adjust
ed to the conditions of trade. We know
that these conditions change continu.
ally, and therefore the beauty and the
force of the statement of Mr.. Harrison
in his letter Of acceptance: .'We do not
offer fixed schedule, but principle"
