he was removed and returned to California,
but was summoned to Corea by Ii Hung
Chang, the Chinese viceroy in corea. He
was then offered the position of adviser TO
the king, accepted and entered upon his
duties.
Now Denny last February prepared an
elaborate memorial in which he gave the
status of Corean affairs and criticised the at
titude OF the Chinese government toward
that country. He sent this document TO Sem
ator Mitchell, of Oregon, who laid it before
the United States senate last August. 1t at
tracted the attention of the Chinese legation
at Washington, who doubtless transmitted a
copy Of it to the Chinese government. Hence
the demand for The recall OF the kings ad-
wiser Whether the king of Corea, having
come to possess an adviser who stands by his
interest, will consent to give him up, is de-
batable point.
Judge Denny is a man about 50 years Of
age, broad shouldered, of medium height,
with a florid face, and hair brushed straight
back. He wears a low necked collar which
exposes an inch or two of his chest; much Of
the time he wears the native costume.
As to the matter at issue Judge Denny
claims in his memorial that he was promised
the cordial support Of the viceroy which had
since been denied him. He then touches upon
tho dangerous ground China Is trying to
occupy with reference TO Corea He closes
his communication by asserting that there is
no doubt in the minds of Coreans as TO who
are the projectors of the recent foul murders

the reply to many anxious callc.s since the
election, For while he was almost pris-
oler in his own house, as his appearance on
the streets was the signal for a demonstra-
ton; but since the Publications ceased, he
has resumed his habit of taking long walks,
for which, by the way, no city in the nation
has better facilities than indianapolis.
Outside Of the business centers it is one wide,
extended suburban city Of retired country

Delaware street, is in no wise conspicuous,
except that visitors have lately carried away

In doors are the usual parlor, back parlor, IL
hrary, sitting room and household rooms.
To the first the great American public ap-
peared to be welcome at all reasonable hours
during the campaign; but for private con-
situations the library was reserved. II is no
secret that the general was not enthusi-
astcally confident of his own election as he
is not unreasonably elated over it, In
short, the American people have chosen for
chief executive a calm. cool, rather unemo-
tional, cautions and conservative man.

world as in trade a man comes to the front

He knows instinctively what readers want,
and hence his journal gets the largest list OF
subscribers aud the most advertising patron
age. The average New Yorker, for instance,
in making out his list of newspapers, win
have at his breakfast table the journal which
he thinks is the soundest in its views on gen.
eral topics, and which furnishes him with the
news in the most attractive way. On leaving
his daily business be will pick up that even
ing paper which gives tho news of the day in
a taking manner. Then the same head of the
family has his trade journal, his religious
and literary weekly, and perhaps a couple Of
monthly magazines. This is about as much
reading as the average business man cares
for But Oh Sunday be has more time to

papers in tho leading cities furnish two or
three times more matter-much Of it Of

THE CASE OF o. N. DENNY.

The case Of Judge Owen n Denny, the for
eign adviser of the king Of Corea whose re-
cali has been demanded by the vicaroy Of
China, is not very well understood by most
people. Corea is a dependency of China.
There is Chinese viceroy in Corea who
represents the celestial emperor. The United
States has treaties with both China and
Corea, and in the first article Of its treaty
With Corea it is distinctly stated, with refer
ence TO the United States, that ''if other
powers deal unjustly or oppressively with
either government, the other will exert its
good Offices, on being informed of the case.
to bring about an ainicable arrangement,
thus showing their friendly feelings"
Tho Chinese government has been accus-
toned to furnish the Corean king with a
confidential adviser, of whom it was expected
that he would not only adSIse the king as to

one of the odd facts of American history thet

from Washington to Buchanan inclusive,
and the record was only broken in 1876 by a
contest so close that all patriots hope it may
never be repeated.

Benjamin Harrison first became nationally
prominent in 1876, and then under circum-
stances peculiarly embarrassing both to him
and his party. Down to that time the rule
had been for the Democrats of Indiana to hold
their state conventions on the Sth of Jan
ary-iocularly called Est. Jackson's dayn
and the Republicans on the 22d Of Febru-
airy. The experiences Of that year led both
parties to adopt much later date, and now
the campaign in that state is short and hot.
At their convention the Republicans noni-
mated for governor the Hon. Godlove S.

and in congress peculiarly qualified him for

1t is just n little odd that Gen. Harrison
should have been so vehemently denounced
as an "aristocrat," for he was born in log
cabin, reared in a pioneer country, educated
only by pinching economy, and has never
been rich. In fact. he began married life
with barely money enough to buy the neces-
sary furniture, and was so poor for the fol-
lowing ten years that the small Office of re-
porter of the supreme court was quite boon
to him. OF late years his successful law
