GENERAL HARRISON ON THE
SOUTH.

New York, January 17.-The Sum s
indianapolis correspondents says: Gen.
Harrison has completed that l'art of his
address that refers to the South. It IS
not very long, but it is to tie point.
The underlying theme of the whole
matter will be the necessity for free
and fair ballot The principle of con-
troll by the majority, says Gen. Harri-
son, is the cornerstone Of our govern
mental system. The question of free
and equal ballot, he declares, is domi-
nant one, embracing all others, because
it involves the question of free and
fair tribunal, to which every question
shall be submitted for arbitration. He
warns the people that this principal of
government by II majority has oeen to
certain extent overturned, and that
the industries of the country have been
threatened because the laborng vote
in a large part of the country IS sup
pressed.
AS to the South directly, he says, that
no one wishes i'll to that section; that on
the cntrary it is the desire of every
good citizen that her prosperity shall
not only be maintained but shall in
crease; ''that the streams Of her pros
perity shall run full, " as the President
elect once expressed it publicly. It is
not now the question, he insists, of what
has occurred once upon time, but of
what is occurring now. This is, he
says, the almost entire suppression of
the colored republican vote at the South
upon national questions. He finds es-
pecially deplorable the evidence that the
persistent suppression Of the votes of
the workingmen in one section of the
country has demoralized the trusts in
the sanctity of the ballot.
The general belief that corrupt and
improper influences have come to have
a great influence in determining the re-
suits even of Presidential elections, til e
tally-sheet fogeries and similar crimes
in many States outside of the South,
the revolutionary proceedings in other
States whereby duly elected officers
have been prevented from exercising |
the functions for which the people had

WHY LEGISLATION Is NEEDED

The silver question az presented to
the Cabinet recently, ought to ssttle
itself. The demand for small com
certificates ia now from s7,OC0,OO0 to
eS,OCO,COO monthly. There is only
about 100000 in silver dollars in tho
Treasury not covered by certificates.
The Government has been coming
the minimum required by law, 81
100000 month. 1t may increase
tho coinage to s4,OO0OO0 rs maxi
mum, and between these figures it can
find rate which win maintain the
balance between supply and demand.
There appears to be no neod for
legislation in this matter. s. T..
Bulletin.
Certainly there would be no need
for legislation, if the Secretary of tho
Treasury would pursue the course
suggested by the Bulletin, and by tho
demand for certificates represented
by the silver dollars stored in the
national treasury. But no has de-
clared his intention 20 continue the
minimum rate Of coinage until tho
meeting of Congress. That means,
un4uestionably, that he will make no
change in the amount, until compelled
to do so by Congressional action. In
other words, until Congress passes a
Raw, either for free coinage or increas-
ing the present minimum rate. That
is why legislation is needed to supply
the rapidly increasing demand for a
currency representing metal which
has been Il circulating medium since
generations before Methusalah was a
yearling. EHimes- Review.

Hard work is the cost of all attain
ment that is worth having; yet, while
every body wants the attainment, only
now and then one is willing to do the
hard work that is essential to its secur-
ing. So it comes to pass that the
measure of mans prospects of at
tainment, is. practically. his willing
ness to work hard and tirelessly. No
man works harder than great genius.
If more men were willing to work as

MEXICAN AND sPANlARD.

The Industry. Thrift and Good Humor Oh
the Modern sancho Psnxss.
The average Mexican. like the aver
age American, is free with his money
-neglectful to those little economies
which Europeans understand so we'll,
and, therefore, when a rich Mexi-
can land owner is in need of
manager for an estate he looks
about for a frugal, thrifty Span
lard, who, if he does make money for
himself, does not neglect his employers
interest. 1t is q common error among
Americans to fancy the Spaniard as
Boosting, proud fellow, averse to toll
and preferring gentility in faded vel
vet coat to hard work and comfort. A
witty Spaniard has said somewhere
that all Spaniards are either Don Quix-
otes or Sancho Panzas, and there is
some measure Of truth in this saying.
The Sancho Panza class of Spaniard
has the hard, homely sense of the
New England farmer. and not
little of the dry humor which the
Yankee possesses as by birthright.
The Spanish language has thousands of
sharp and racy proverbs available for
everyday use, and the Woodworking
Spaniard makes free use of them.
Another Anglo-Saxon misconception is
that the Spaniard is q man who is ever
seeking quarrel and whose temper is
fiery and uncertain. There are streaks
of romanticism in the Spaniard, and
any amount Of good qualities that wear
well in every day life. He is patient,
good-humored, and will share his meal
with an unfortunate countryman.
There is much sturdy fiber left in the
Spanish nation. which, we must not
forget, disputed the control Of this
hemisphere with ourselves for GEN.
turtles. and left never-to-be-erased
marks Of Spanish domination. The
Spaniard resembles the Anglo-Saxon
in HE propsnsitiss. fer colonization. his
willingness T. emigrate, his capacity
for hard work and . certain arrogance

loses. Cor, BQsfqg Herald

VALUE OF RESTRAINT.

A Word to Young Men who are Anxious
for Independence.
Perhaps there is nothing under which
men vince and fret more than the re-
straints and restrictions which the
circumstances of life force upon them.
And yet, humanity speaking, there is no
greater helper, no surer guide, than
external restrictions. Every one knows
that it is comparatively easy to act the
gentleman in society where the forms
of etiquette are rigidly observed; but
it is not easy to come up to the same
requirement in a society where free
dom is the rule and where rules are
free. A newly employed street-car
driver has no difficulty in finding the
route over which he is to direct his
horses. He can not drive of the track
without being jolted into a conscious
ness of his own error. But ride
across trackless prairie, while it
leaves the rider free from the re-
straints of the rail, correspondingly
opens to him the danger of going
astray. Many a young man desires to
leave his present employment that he
may be Ibis own master" But no one
is competent to master himself until he
knows how to impose restrictions upon
himself as the servant Of that master;
nor will he be competent to serve him.
self until he knows how to accept the
restrictions which it would profit him
70 receive from himself as the master
Of that servants, s. Times

COLD WEATHER RULES.
How to Make Life In Winter Agreeable and
Henlth-Giving.

How to Mako Life In Winter Agreeable and
Health-Giving.
Never lean with the back upon any
thing that is cold.
Never begin journey until the
breakfast has been eaten.
Never take warm drinks and then
Immediately go out into the cold.
Keep the back. especially between
the shoulder-blades. we'll covered; also
the chest well protected. In sleeping
in cold room establish the habit of
breathing through the nose, and never
with the mouth open.
Never go to bed with cold or damp
feet
Never omit regular bathing, for UNI
less the skin is in active condition the
cold will close the pores and favor con-
gestion and other diseases.
After exercise Of any kind. never
ride in an open carriage or near the
window of car for a moment; it is
dangerous to health or even life.
When hoarse. speak as little as pos
sible until the hoarseness is recovered
from, else the voice may be perma-
nently lost, or difficulties of the throat
be produced.
Merely warm the back by the fire,
and never continue keeping the back
exposed to the heat after it has become
comfortably warm. To do otherwise
is facilitating.
When going from warm atmos-
phere into cooler one, keep the
mouth closed, SO that the air may be
warmed in its passage through the
nose ere it reaches the lungs.
Never stand still in cold weather.
especially after having taken q slight
degree OF exercise, and always avoid
standing on ice or snow, or where the
person is exposed to cold wind.-San-
iartGn.
