In speaking OF Judge Gresham the
other day the Globe suggested that he
ought to run on the Democratic rather
than Republican presidential ticket. AT
first the reason why an ardent Republic
can like Gresham should be wanted on
the Democratic ticket was not apparent,
but it was discovered when further
down the column the editor explained
that such a man would give stone" to
the ticket. We fear, however, it would
take even a good deal better man than
Gresham to give responsibility to the
ticket of that party.

THE engineers strike is not so near an
end as reported. The conference be-
tween the president of the road and the
officers of the brotherhood did not re-
suit satisfactorily. 1t looks as though
the company held the winning cards, as
it has been able to keep its trains NOV
ing where strictly necessary, and its
through business is so light at present
that it is very we'll satisfied not to make
much of an attempt to carry it. We
greatly fear the result will be another il
lustration of the failure of strikes as a
method of righting the grievances of
Workingmen.

MRS. LANGTRY is not finding it such a
fine thing to be an American citizen af-

her engagement at a Chicago theater last
week, and now the manager has sued
her for damages, and attached her bag
gage, ana the pretty Lilly is experien-
eng all the troubles of the American
theatrical barn stormer. Perhaps she
may decide to go back to England after
all, and leave country where her tai

THERE is something good about the
Mills tariff bill after all, at least the Inter
Ocean thinks so:
"There is this excellence about the

general ignorance. so directly acceptable

THAT CAVE AT BLACKS.
Further Investigation Proves the Under
ground Cavern Story to be no Hoax.
[Iorkville Enquirer

BLACKS, November 13.-1nvestiga-
ton of the purposed subterranean cav
ern under the lot Of Mr.. NJ. C.. Byers,
on Whittaker's Mountain, is now be-
ing pushed under direction of Maj.
John F. Jones, NJ. r. Reese, Col. R. A.

hart and DR.. J. G.. Black.
The we'll has been uncovered to the
depth Of fifty-two feet, and although
the diggers are yet some twenty feet
above the point where the opening was
found at the former excavation, the
peculiar roaring sound, of which men
ton was made last week, can already
be distinctly heard from the bottom of
the well. To your correspondent the
noise seems to proceed from an under
ground stream of considerable volume
rushing over shoaly bed. 1t is i'm
possible to locate the exact position of
the supposed cataract, but the sound
indicates it to be between fifty and one
hundred feet west Of the point where
the shaft will strike the opening.
The work of investigation is being
pushed as rapidly as possible, but ow-
ing to the fact that only one man can
work at the shaft at a time, the pro-
gress is necessarily slow. Two more
days will probably solve the mystery.
The negro weIl-digger who is working
: in the shaft thinks the walls are per-
fectly safe above him, and apprehends
no danger from below.

form an outlet for larger stream which
is thought to have cavernous passage

After the war General Harrison was
at the head of Indian affairs for quite
while, and old settlers state that there
was certainly a heavier mortality
among the Indians ut that time than
ever before or since. The air seemed to
be filled with microbes ofabout A cali
Der, which perhaps did more to dis
courage the red man than the high
price Of groceries and scarcity Of work.
General Harrison held almost every
office within the gift Of the people, and
gave almost universal satisfaction to
himself and family. Many of those
who ran against him and were defeat
ed, sharply criticized his official acts
and the acts of others which were,
brought to him to be ground.
In 1889 he was nominated by the
Wings for the presidency, at Harris
burg, Pennsylvania. He ran against
Van Buren,, and received 2S4 electoral
votes as against 60 for Van.
This canvass was noted for its pecu-
liar methods aud the great enthusiasm
produced by the excessive use of hard
cider, most terrible and deadly bever-
age made of apples. Windfalls and
wormy fruit are generally used for the
cider of commerce, and when it has be-
come solidiied it produces the exuber-
ance and gross exhilaration which a
man feels when he wakes up to find
himselfsnugly ensconced in the Drunk
ards Home, The log cabin was also
introduced INTO the campaign, as slur,
doubtless, on the Generals plain style
ofliving, and when thing like that is
used againsta man, he most generally
goes in by about the same majority
which Old Tippecanoe had in the Elec-
toral College.
General Harrison resides at Indiana
polls, some distance from the Union
depot; but there is man there who will
with pleasure show visiting delegations
the way to his house. Visiting delega-
tions will find thoroughly first class
hotels where they can get good victuals,
and have their brass drums and torches
checked until they areready to go home.
Musical instruments are not taken any
more at Indianapolis hotels, however,
in exchange for meals.
General Harrison is thoroughly .up-
right man, but carries his head little
forward as he walks. He does not drink
or ask anybody else to do so. have
not called on him yet, but most every
one else has. He believes in high pro-
tective tariff, and'a thoroughly enjoya-
