the Boston Herald isright to say thatpa
triotism inspired them. He lid what he
did in support of prinrnple the tri-
umph of which he believed would con-
tinue to afford happiness and prosperity
to his country. Other obj sct than that
he had none. In respect of his reputed
ambitions to become a member OF Pres
ident Harrison's Cabinet, we know
nothing whatever, except that if he
have it is an honorable one, and one
which any American citizen may honor
orably entertain. But it is not even
alleged that Mr.. Wanmaker has sought
or seeks place in the new Cabinet ;
the allegation is that Senator Quay has
recommended to the President elect his
appointment. That is certainly not in
derogation of Mr.. Wanamaker ; it is to
his honor, for no one bet er than the
Chairman of the National Republican
and Campaign Committees knows how
great and valuable Mr.. Wanamaker's
services were to his party and country.
We believe that this latter view OF
the case is the correct one, and that il
will be so considered by his fellow citi
zens, who know MIR. Wanamaker.

GENERAL HARRISON'S VISITORS.

The President Elect Says He Desires to
People Without Reference to state Lines
Cabinet Guesses.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 10 The
greater portion of General Harrison 8
political visitors have been from the
South thus far, and large amount of his
mail matter consists of letters from the
Southern States making inquiry and
suggestions.
About his policy he will not be drawn
out. To j. w. Jefferson, planter near
Memphis, who commanded a Michigan
regiment during the war, General Harri
son wrote this day or two since: Il am
glad to know that the result of the cleo :
tion brought satisfaction to an army
comrade lying IN the South. 1 notice
what you say about the situation there,
and assure you that appreciate its grav-
ity, and have the most sincere desire to
be we'll informed both as to men and
affairs in the South. I do most sincerely
desire to promote the general good OF
our whole people without reference to
State lines, and shall be glad to have
the friendly advice and CO operation of
the law-abiding and conservative people
in all the States
While the local wiseacres, who pretend
to be on the inside and upon whose words
some newspaper men hang with attention
reiterating in daily interviews their as
surances that G neral Harrison as vet
knows nothing of his Cabinet, the Presi
dent elect knocks all their theories in the
head. To-day there came in General
Harrison mail a circular letter from
Philadelphia newspaper. offering a re.

The blanks to be filled out were inclosed.
Russell Harrison, who handles all his
ather's correspondence and asserts it,
handed this budget over to the General.
He reopened it, and, after a moments
careful perusaI. said: II think l could
come very near winning that prize right
now"

To MIR. James III. Frazer.

We are not in the habit of cunning
for tit birds, and the editor of the Cecil
County Meas may therefore take his
little flight of Thursday, without fear of
molestation.
We will respect the plaintive appeal
made by him in the last sentences of
his editorial( y, in which he virtually
shrieks-"P lease Don't Shoot !"
We may be permitted to say to him,
however, as he flies by, that in his
anxiety to defend his new-found friends,
he has offered defense that convicts
his clients.

Frazer, "khe Writer Of tile conamunf-

In other words, Mr.. Frazer can
recollect that certain remark was MOI
made to him, Seven years ago, BY
somebody, but he cannot possibly
recollect 7eho the somebody was.
A marvellous memory indeed
And the reason he assigns for his
ability to remember that no such re
mark was made to him, is the strikingly
original and unique one, that "the ex,

And besides, we may then go fur.

is now so quick to deny the cruel re-

Trade Talks.

Under the above caption, Mr.. Harry

and was much surprised at those i'll Ger
many. Among others 1 was in that
owned by Bismarck. The mills making
newspaper were the ones was espec'a ly
interested in. Tney are not up to the
mills of this country in any way. They
are spread out and it takes one a long
time to 60 through mill and see all OF
the departments. Their machinery is
ponderous and you do not see here such
masses of machinery as they have. They
do not work as economically as we nor
to SO great advantage. Their newspaper
is not as good as ours. 1t is t1lmsy.
While l was away l received copies of
the Philadelphia Ledger, and on showing
them to paper makers there they said it
had too much hard stock in it and was
too strong. Tney do not seem to under
stand how to make as good a paper from
all chemical wood as some OF the mills
here, and / intend to send them some
samples of the papers made by the Rich
mond Paper Company. Their paper,
which is supposed to be of the same grade,
is not near as good. The machinery is
peculiar IN some cases. They do not run
their machines as fast, and their output

know of one concern with three machines
and the product is only tons, while for
a corresponding time one of our own ma
chimes produces 10 tons. In Saxony they
only run six days a week, as there is law
prohibiting Sunday labor; but in Prussia
they run day and night seven days week.
There are great many women working
in the mills, some OF them doing the work
that men do here. Wages are low

monia Nearly stamped OUT.
CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-CommIssioner of
Agriculture Norman l.. Colmau, who is
in this city, was asked to day what he
thought of the statements made in the
Rational Board of Trade meeting last
week charging the monthly crop reports
of the Department with being grossly
inaccurate. He said:
The National Board of Trade is make
ing great mistake, think. The crop
reports have now been made for 40 years
and so accurate are they that study of
the statistics will show the advance crop
reports to have been in almost every case
verified by the actual crops The figures
are actually obtained from the farmers

got out ahead of the reports, that time
through clerk in the office. The reports
prepared in manifold copies are given on
the 10Th of each month precisely at noon.
Representatives of various commercial
exchanges are waiting on bicycles, on
horses or in Carriages to beat each other,
if they can, to the telegraph Offices"
MIR. Colman said that pleuro. pneumonia
among cattle was almost stamped out.
When he becameC Commissioner the disease
existed Illinois, Virginia. Maryland,
Pennsy ;lvania, New York, New Jersey,
Kentuc ky and Missouri 1t was now
pract ically eradicated from all these
States, except New York. The work
has cost nearly s1.0O0.OOO. The Com
missioner is opposed to making the head
of the Department of Agriculture Cabi-
net officer, because the work of the
dep artment was, for the most part,
scientific and ought to be Independent of
politics, just as the Smithsonian Institute
or the Geological Survey.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Baltimore american is the authority
for the statement that the returns from
the different states show, that there are
actually no less than twenty-one con-
2ressional districts in which MIR. Cleve-
land had majority of votes, yet the
Democratic candidates for Congress
were defeated. This result is not only
a splendid tribute to the mastery direc-
ton OF the work of the campaign by
the Republican National Committee,
but it shows that while a large body of
Democrats were willing to compliment
Mr.. Cleveland by their votes, they dis
trusted their immediate representatives
in Congress. Indeed the magnitude
OF the recent victory can only be prop
erly estimated when it is remembered
that the Republicans have not for the
past fourteen years with the single ex-
ceptlon OF the Congress of 1882, had
control of the lower House at Wash
ington. A Republican majority there
fore in both Houses will have the effect
OF turning the current of legislation into
new channels. 1t will place the Carl
isles, the Mlllses, the Breckinridges, the
McMillans and their associates IN
minority, and it will SO reorganize the
committees that the Southern Free
Trader will be powerless for mischief.
The chair which is now occupied by
John G. Carlisle will probably be filled
by Thomas B. Reed, of Maine, or VIM.
Mckinley, of OHIO. Not the least
wholesome influence OF the new Con-
gress will be in the direction of a puri
ication of those seats of Democratic
members OF the South who now occupy
them by fraud or a suppression of votes.
1t will not be reactionary Congress,
nor will President Harrison give the
country reactionary Administration.
The same sagacious and conservative
spirit which the Republican party has
shown to remarkable degree through.
out the recent campaign will have full
force under the new leaders who are
coming forward in its management. But
there will be justice, exact and even
justice, in the dealings OF the Republi
can party with the South, and the
craftsmanship which it will bring to the
settlement of this Southern problem
will be the craftsmanship not of the
past but of the present. The Southern
issue will come before us in a new

This is good time to quote from
Presidents letter of 1884, accepting
the nomination for the Presidency, the
following passage:
"When an election to office shall be
the selection by the voters of one OF
their number, to assume for a time a
public trust instead of his dedication to
the profession of politics when the
holders OF the ballot, quickened by a
sense of duty, shall avenge truth be-
trayed and pledges broken, and when
the suffrage shall be altogether free and
interrupted, the full realization OF a
government by the people will be at
hand. And of the means to this end
not one would, in my judgment, be
more effective than an amendment to
the constitution disqualifying the Presl-
dent from reelection. When we con-
slider the patronage of this great office,
the allurements of power, the tempta-
ton to retain public place once gained,
and, more than all, the availability a
party finds in an incumbent whom a
horde CT office-holders, with zeal born
of benefits received and fostered by the
hope of favors yet to come, stand ready
to aid with money and trained political
service we recognize in the eligibility of
the President for re-electIon a most
serious danger to that calm, deliberate
and intelligent political action which
must characterize government by the
people"
The holders of the ballot did "avenge
truth betrayed and pledges broken"
and though the suffrage, at least in the
"Solid South" was not altogether free
and interrupted, they decided to &C
cept his views on the second term ques-
ton. They have saved the country
from the dangers he portrayed and
elected Benjamin Harrison to the
Presidency.
