voted for Van Buren,, because the public men
of that state regarded Harrison with jealousy.
Although of Virginian origin, he did not be-
long to the ruling "set." Particularly in the
south. few men decided the political fate OF
state. Follow your leader" was always the
battle-cry, and the man who failed to do so
courted contempt. Newspapers are really a
blessing in having wiped out this species of
man worship. Numerous cases happened
where the leaders had the horses taken from
their carriages, which were then drawn by en-
thusastic admirers to the grand stand, when
the orator would be passed over mems shoulders
to the platform.
THE ISSUES OF TIE RACE.
After "a year Of frenzied politics, when women
sang and men shouted, and private business
was neglected, Harrison was elected. He was
the originsA imam on horseback" being the
first and only man who ever took that mode of
conveyance to his Inauguration In month
he was dead, and Tyler took his place. When
Tyler, in violation of party pledges and politi-
cal rectitude vetoed the United States bank
bill, the wings who had drank and sung him
into Office were the sickest people the world
ever saw. The wing platform was credited to
Henry Clay, and contained these main planks.

1t will thus BIO seen that General Ben Har-
rison represents protective tariff by inherit
ance, and that Georgia, by popular majority
of 1928 voted for it. The two dollars day

American labor. may prove to be as delusive
as the promises made by his grand
father. The platform meant but lit
tie, however. in that campaign. Harri-
rison's personality infused itself into every
gathering of men, and when Van Buren,
touched the poverty of Harrison he touched
the American people. The horny-handed sons
of toll voted for Harrison as rebuke to snob-
berry and deception, and by defeating Van
Buren, put an end to one of tho most corrupt
clques by which country was ever cursed. It
was not until the party of which General Ben
Harrison is now the leader came into power
that the same forces of fraud and insolence
came to the front again, and now, forty-eight
years later, the sons of the same men who
hurled Van Buren, from power intend to bury
the party of trusts and monopolies so deep that
no inquest will be necessary. PEAJAY.

campaign rallies, the chorus being taken up
by thousands of voices "Tippeeanoe and
Tyler too was the favorite. The music of
NEST of these ballads was written by A. C.
Ross a jewelor of an Ohio town. 1t was his
brother who had written "Tippecanoe and
Tyler too" the first verse of which went:
Oh, what has caused this great connection
Motion motion--our country through?
1t is the hall that's rolling on
For rippecauCe and Tyler too,
For Tippecanoe and Tyler too,
And with them we Il b9at little Van, Van, Van, Van,
OH he's a used up man,
And with them Wen beat little Van
The manner in which the song was brought
out was quite dramatic. During the heat of
the,exciting campaign Mr.. Ross happened to
so TO New York on business. The song which
was destined 10 become historic had Been
completed While in New York Mr. Ross at
tended an immense whig ratification meeting.
The speakers were late and the time was oc-
cupied in singing. There was a lull. The
speakers were still absent. The chairman of
the meeting said: "If there is n gentleman
present who can sing, let him come forward"
The Ohio merchant said TO his friend: "If I
was up there I could sing them song" His
answer was heard by several and he was inn
mediately lifted over the shoulders of the Inn
monse audience 10 the platform, where he
sang: "rippecanoe and Tyler too" The
audience was wild with enthusiasm, and he
had TO repeat again and again. The next day
all over New York people were humming the
stirring campaign tune. Within the next
month OF two "Tppercanoe and Tyler too"
was rendered in every city aud village through
out the country.
Badges Of unique design were brought out,
and medals were struck which found their
way into almost every hand. Old men arc

The Eiffel Tower At Three Hundred Feet
Tremedous Pyramid.
The Eiffel tower, now 800 feet high, is the
sensation of the hour in Paris. NJ. George
Price, Paris reporter, gives the following ac-
count OF the work and its builder:
M. Eiffei lives i'll a pretty house in Rue Pros
ny, furnished and decorated in delightful
fashion, which suggest the artist rather than the
engineer. Eitfel is man of from forty to for
ty-five years, rather under the average height;
his hair is gray, his eyes bright his expression
quiet and pleasant. One feels at once that he
is persistent rather than enthusiastic. In his
triumphs over difficulties, thought and mathe-
NAUTICAL precision have done the work. M.
Eiffel gave me q card which entitled me to
visit the tower. After q visit, must admit
that, considering the strong doubts once held,
upon aesthetic grounds, as to the advisability of
the Eiffel tower, the impression made upon mo
by the reality was altogether unexpected. I
cannot say whether it will be handsome, but I
am certain that it will be superb 1t is impos-
sibe to describe the effect of this gigantic scat

see the workmen below, looking like beetles.
Around the outside of the tower a railroad
runs, bringing beams, sheet iron and other
material. Above our heads 100 workmen bam-
mered at hot riyets, and the four giant conner
posts stretched skyward. The view is magni-
fcent Up so again, by winding staircase,

An inflated paper currency aids this spirit,
 and the British legation predicts disastrous panic, but says that the natural resources of
 the Argentine Republic are so great, and the 1 support it receives from foreign immigra- tion of so much value, that it is possible that 1 speculation may return to legitimate chan l nels without the shock of financial disaster :" The condition of the peasants in the south ern provinces of Russia is described as lamen-
 table. It is only says a correspondent, the mi ! nority of Domain peasants, to each of whom is allotted twenty-three acres of land, who can
 be said to live comfortably. The majority, 1 formerly serfs, who received each an allot- l ment of eight acres, chosen at the will of the proprietor, frequently barren and irreclaim- able, lead Q miserably hard existence, de- seribed as 8 continuous battle against abso- lute starvation. Of AS per cent. of the farms of the latter class, the correspondent was un- able to discover either plough or harrow. This class profit absolutely nothing by the land banks, ostensibly established for their special benefit. These banks exploited by the noble proprietors and the wealthy Do-- main peasants. The land banks have been unworthily and selfshly abused by the minor class of proprietors. The same rule should apply to these banks as obtains in the simi- lar institutions in Poland, where the bank is
 compelled on application to make advances to the extent of 90 per cent. of the land value. An abundant harvest avails thousands of these poor people nothing, the values of
 the crops going into the pockets of the
 usurers. Thousands of acres of good avail--
 able land lie fallow, or are here and there
 sown with few vegetable crops for home
 use, simply for the absolute want of horses or draft oxen.
 The New York Sun says of the Chinese in New York city: We have Chinese popula- ton of nearly ten thousand in this city, but it is rare sight to see any Chinaman apply ing for help in any of the charitable institu- tions of the city. Our Chinese residents are always ready to assist each other in all the emergencies of life. Most of them belong to societies of mutual assistance on the Chinese
 plan. When one of them is penniless he can
 borrow money. When one is out of work he finds others ready to aid him in procuring it.
 
 service, and, if. he dies, the expenses of his
 burial are always easily obtained. Several of
 them have become well off through the busi-
 ness of their washhouses. There are no
 loafers among them, and all of them are noted
 for their industrious lives. There are few of
 them addicted to the opium habit, though
 many of them occasionally indulge in the fumes of the drug. It is mainly the wealthy
 men among them who enjoy the luxury of Chinese wives, but others who desire to form white matches find no difficulty in doing so, as far as the procuring of mates is concerned. As rule, the children born of these unions adopt the American style of life. The Chi-
 nese of New York boast that they produce
 proportionately fewer criminals than any other element of our population.

Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the dangers of sufocation while lying down; to breathe freely, sleep soundly and undisturbed; to rise refreshed, head clear, brain active and free from pain or ache; to know that no poisonous, putrid matter dslss the breath and rots away the delicate machinery of smell, taste and hearing; to feel that the system does not, through its veins and arteries, suck up the poison that is sure to undermine and destroy, Is indeed a blessing beyond all other human enjoy ments. To purchase immunity from such fate should be the object of all afflicted. But those who have tried many remedies and physicians despair of relief or cure.

SOME NEEDED LEGISLATION.

SOME NEEDED LEGISLATION.
 The fact that New Hampshire has a law which provides that "any person who shall, without authority, sign the name of any other person to any letter or other document, or falsely represent that any other person had written such letter or document, knowing such representation to be false, for the pur- pose of influencing votes, shall be fined not exceeding $1, 900 or imprisoned not exceed ing one year," is attracting some attention. It was found in the case of the Mercy letter that 1t was impossible to hold the criminal under the usual laws against forgery. The forger was held for trial on prosecution for libel, but he could not be held on a charge of forgery. Judge Noah Davis, however, in his decision to that effect, clearly pointed out that this is defect in the laws. Glad the subject of the forgery in this case, " he said, "been instruments purporting to be the ob- legations of General Garfield, and he public ly declared them to be forgeries, who could thereafter send them forth and circulate them throughout the commonwealth without mourning the penalties of the lawf' The difference, he then went on to say, between such 6 case and the one before him "is pure ly statutory, and in moral forum wholly vauishes." And he added: ''It must be the wish of all honorable minds that this case will lead not only to discovery of the guilty but to the enactment of laws which will prevent or severely punish offences of this character"
 It is singular that New Hampshire is the only State to have e law against such forge ries ss are pretty sure to mako their appear ance in political campaign. Every State ought to have such law. And 1t has been pertinently suggested that 1t should be sup plenented by that section of the English par- liamentary election act which requires that ''every bill, plaOard and poster having refer- ence to an election shall bear upon it's face the name and address of the printer and pubs 1tnka
