A SAMpLE 0F .REFORM.n

Over $4,000 have already been paid
out by the government for legal eXpens-
es in the Pan Electric suits, and there is
pending a deficiency Bill for $4,000
more on the same account, making over
$65, 900 in ALL OF this sum Allen G..
Thurman has received S4,629.95. All
of this money was paid to outside attor-
neys to prosecute a suit in which attor-
nev General Garland was interested as a
Pan-E Electric stakeholder, and for bring
ing which he ought to have been kicked
out of the Cabinet. 1t has been dis
graceful proceeding from beginning to
end, and expensive as well. In discuss
ing the deficiency bill for the Depart
ment of Justice Mr. Randall, a Demo-
crat, showed that the expenses Of this
department will be $350,000 greater this
year than ever before. The greater part
of this money has been paid out to Dem
ocratic attorneys for doing work that the
District Attorneys throughout the coun-
try ought to have done. Such is DEM
ocratic economy and reform!

THE Independent Democratic Roches-
ter Post Erpress says "it is out of the
question" that Grover Cleveland "could
have acted on any principle or from any
motive of public policy" in vetoing some
of the recent pension legislation. True
enough. But then he ought to be let
down easy. He doesn't know any princi-
pie but expediency, and his motives
of public policy" are entirely selfish.
The shame of it is that such a man
should be in the Presidential chair

his art to him in more compendlouS

was no royal way to geometry. Other

chased with money, but knowledge is to
be gained only by study, and study to be
prosecuted only in retirement.

In simple but very impressive man.
ner on Thursday of last week, General
Harrison was formally told of his nomi-
nation to the Presidency on the Repub-
lican ticket and formally accepted the
nomination. The Notification Commit
tee were driven to his home, which was
without decoration of any kind. Chair
man Estee made brief speech annOunc-
ing his commission from the National
Republican Convention, and in a brief
speech Gen. Harrison replied to it. AT
ter the notification ceremonies were con-
cluded an informal reception was held
Had Mr. Harrison been notified of his
nomination for the Mayoralty of his
city there would likely have been more
ostentation. A party of the people could
not formally have begun its campaign
more auSpiciously.

WHILE descending the stairs to re-
ceive the committee announcing that
her husband had been nominated for
the Presidency Mrs. Harrison tripped
and fell upon her knees. 1t will be re-
membered that when William the Con-
queror was about to land with his inva-
ders upon the coast of England similar
accident befell him. He regarded it as
auspicious of success in the campaign,
he was opening, and so it turned out.

LABOR LEADERS FOR HARRIsON.

LA BOn LEADERS run hAhIlICoN'
Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
All over the country the champions
of labor are beginning to take sides as
between the Democratic and the Repub-
lican platform, protection and free trade,
Harrison and Cleveland. Among the
latest accesSions to the Republican
ranks is Representative Nichols, of the
Fourth North Carolina District, who
was elected as an Independent or Labor
candidate two years ago, and who has
been indorsed by organized labor for re-
election. He is Grand Master Workman
of the Knights of Labor for his State,
and is among those who believe that the
Republicans will carry North Carolina
on the protection issue. He is going to
take the stump for Harrison.
OF equal significance is the announce
ment that Mr.. James Campbell, Presi-
dent of the National Union of Window
glass Workers, and Mr.. George |. Cake,
Secretary of the same union, both old
Democrats, intend to use every effort to
secure the triumph of protection by the
defeat of Cleveland. Mr.. Campbell has
not been in sympathy with his party on
the tariff question for three years past,
but Secretary Cake is recent convert,
the Mills bill having disgusted him. He
is about to organize marching club,
and SAYS that many of the members will
be, like himself, old-time Democrats
who take this method of protesting
against the ruinous policy of free trade.

The March ECLECTIC shines brilliantly
as number of great variety and interest.
1t opens with an article by Goldwin
Smith, on american Statesmen" which
is appreciative, yet at times caustic.
Norman Lockyer's new theory of the
Universe is succinctly explained in a
short paper. The second paper on Caesar
Borgia" will be found very interesting by
historical students. Mr.. w. Leigh, M. P,
writes very entertainingly concerning
his personal experiences in Bulgaria. Mr..
j. E. Muddock gives graphic narrative
of the events and plots which eliminated
in the assassination of Alexander II. of
Russia. Students of social problems will
have their attention attracted to the
article entitled "The Workless, the Thrift
less, and the Worthless" by the author of
Social Wreckage." Professor Huxley
writes characteristic paper called
Science and the Bishop" and Matthew
Arnold contributes a splendid criticism
of Shelley as man and poet. Other
striking features are: "Dethroning
Tennyson," by Algernon Charles Swim
burne; "The Value of the Individual" by
Vernon Lee; "The Withered ARM"
powerful story, from Blackacood's, by
Thomas Hardy; Leo XIII. and Ireland;"
Lost Instincts and Rare Faculties
"The Difficulty of Romance Writer'S"
and "Toussaint L'Ouverture," by S. H.
Swinny. 1t would be difficult to find
more brilliant array of names and articles
than are contained in this number.

What am l to Do?

The symptoms Of Biliousness are
unhappily but too we'll known. They
differ in different individuals to some
extent. A Bilious man is seldom d
breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas,
he has an excellent appetite for liquids
but none for solids of morning. His
tongue will hardly bear inspection at
any time; if it is not white and furred,
it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out
of order aud Diarrhea or Constipation
may be a symptom or the two may
alternate. There are often Hemor-
rhoids or even loss of blood There
may be giddiness and often headache
and acidity or fatulenee and tender
ness in the pit of the stomach. To
correct all this if not effect cure try

The schemes of the Southern States
men for getting an entering wedge into
the Treasury of the United States, and
establishing precedent for the payment
of Southern war claims, are agonizing.
On last Friday, Congressman Lee, of Vir-
ginia, while some bill was pending, offered
an amendment providing for the appro-
priation of twenty thousand dollars for
the relief of the Protestant Theological
Seminary and High School of Virginia
This building was within the Federal
lines, and was used by the Union armies
part of the time. In the proceedings
Gen. Grosvenor and other and other elo-
quent Republicans took active part
against the measure, denouncing it as
dangerous precedent, which in reality it
would be. If any confiding patriot thinks
the talk about Southern War Claims was
all political buncombe, that one is griev-
ously mistaken. There are millions of
dollars worth of such claims waiting and
watching

A nasty row occurred at the Hall oe-
cupied by the Salvation Army, in the
Jones building, on Saturday night. 81
mon Fought and Fred Kinsler had some
difficulty during the evening, and both
went to the Army" meeting afterward.
At this place, while Fought was talking
to John Kinsler, he was assaulted by
Fred, and knocked down. There was a
general row, and it was hard to tell who
was to blame. It seems to us that it is
about time this nest of drunken men was
broken up. 1t has come to be custom
for the drunken men to adjourn from the
doggeries to the Salvation Army meet
ings. The "Army" cannot help this, but
the meetings ought some way to be pro-
tected. We trust that the officers will
promptly put stop to this rowdyism.
