Yale college has conferred the degree
of master of arts upon Samuel IL. Glenn
ems CLARK Twain. This is considered a
departure from the practice of educa-
tional institutions, which have hitherto
ignored the humorist as a factor in the
general endeavor to elevate the moral
and intellectual standard Of humanity.
That this should be SO is surprising, in
view of the invaluable assistance rem
dered by the worlds great wits, many of
whom were philosophers as well. Take
the case of Charles Dickens, for instance.
1t is conceded fact that by his writings,
which as remarkable for their humor
as for strong common sense, many abuses
that had prevailed in English society
and in the mock administration of justice
were corrected. Humor is unquestiona
bly, conducive to good health, and this
to personal comfort and enjoyment;
hence is an accomplishment, if it may
be termed such, that merits recognition
and its requirement to be encouraged.

A well known railroad man at Indian
apolis, who has worked up from the
humble walks of labor, says: 81 was
living in two rooms on the same street
within door or two of where General
Benjamin Harrison lived eighteen years
ago. l did not know him or his wife
then, as l had been married only a short
time and had lately moved into my
rooms. NV wife was taken sick and,
strangers as we were, the general fire.
qUently called at the door of our humble
home to inquire as to her condition and
many a time Mrs. Harrison brought to
my wife dainties to eat and was always
CHEEKY in her words. Poor and stranger
as | was, it made an impression that
will be green in my mind as long as l
live. Talk about laboring men not vot-
ing for General Harrison. No truer or
more sympathetic hearts ever beat than
his or that of his wife for poor men, and
for one I'll be in at his election to rejoice
with others"

The savings benks of New York state
contain $500, 900, 900 or more money than
is found IN all the savings banks of Eng
land. This is very significant fact, for
the depositors in the New York savings
bank are, as rule, workingmen and
persons of small means. New York
state is the center of industrial activity
for this country. There are more manu-
facturers there, more capital invested in
manufacturing there, more people en-
ployod in Industries there than in any
other state. If the workingmen, there
fore, are enabled to make large savings.
the explanation must be in the fact that
they get better wages than the working
men abroad. II is one of the best argu-
ments for the tariff that it enables labor
ingmen to sustain savings banks and to
keep little money ahead for rainy
day. The free traders will have hard
work to force their theory over the argu-
ment Of the savings bank.

The biood-curdling report comes from

who arrived there from st. Paul last
Sunday, having gone there to teach the
agency school, was captured while out

ried into the woods by eighteen Indians,
who criminally assaulted her. The re-

THE ANONYMOUS DEMOCRAT AT
WORK,

Des Moines Register
Several thousand postal cards have
been sent out from New York within
the past few days bearing neither date
nor signature but the following words:
ONE DAY.
We have one which was sent to a gen
tleman in Grand Junction, and he in
forms us that nearly every workingman
in that place has received one like it. 1t
is probable that these postal cards have
been sent out by the hundreds of thou
sands all over the United States. No
explanation accompanies them now, but
it. is intended to have the explana-
ton come after the fashion of
Democratic roorbachs, SO near
to election that there would
not to be time to contradict it. 1t refers
to Democratic SANDER recently started
that General Harrison at some time had
said that dollar a day was enough
wages for any working man. The senti-
ment is not new, for it is an old cam
paign SANDER that Democrats have
tried on other candidates before. Gen
eral Harrison never uttered it, and his
friends at Indianapolis keep standing in
the newspapers an offer of a thousand
dollars reward to any person who can
furnish proof that he uttered it, The
libel is too stupid to have any effect ex-
cept to show in what desperate straits
the Democratic party now is. Eight
years ago it had its Morey letter, bold
forgery written by man in the pay of
the Democratic party, four years ago
it had its Burchard, whose words were
used in the same dishonest manner, and
this year it has resorted to anonymous
ISLANDERS to poison the minds of working
men against the Republican candidate.
Its stupid lies and forgeries react only
upon itself. In this instance they have
come so early that the country will have
full opportunity to understand It's utter
depravity before it can do the mischief it

DR.. Mackenzie, the English physician

DIR. Mackenzie, the English physician
who was detailed by Queen Victoria 10
attend the late German emperor during
the last weeks of his illness, after his
patients death set his tongue a-going,
and it wagged and wabbled to such an
extent that the English government
found it necessary, for prudential rea-
sons, to bride it. The imperturbable
doctor promises to make some further
disclosures touching German matters,
social and political, matters he got onto,
to use current slang phrase, while at
the German capital, as soon as the re-
strictions placed upon his speech shall be
removed. This indiscreet declaration of
the gossiper will doubtless cause the en-
barge placed upon his utterances to be
continued. England don't want any
controversy with Germany just now,
and what is more, she don't intend to
have any on the score mentioned, which
would almost inevitably occur if the
strings We're removed from the meddle-

for its presumption in sending physi-
