NOTES AND COMMENTS.

-"The deeper it goes into the
matter" says the Buffalo Commercial,
speaking of the commission investi-
eating God-help-the-Surplus Tanner,
''the better the people will be satis-
fed"
One OF the Presidents fatterers
says he has the gift of thinking on his
feet. His reasoning has led not few
to suppose that he did his thinking
with his feet. Louisville Courier
journal.
Senator Manderson's letter, in
dignantly declining to accept $4,000
increased pension money, hasn't been
published yet. Perhaps it Is forth
coming and perhaps it isn't; more
likely isn't. Boston Herald.
After all the money Mr.. John
Wanamaker contributed last year to
buy votes against five per cent. gen.
eral reduction of the tariff, he has
been trying to get reduction on an
article he himself imports, though that
article is manufactured in this coun-

party's candidate in the neAt rreol-
Dental contest 1t il natural that ha
should have ambition, and If he Is uni-
bilious there Is no reason why he
should not obtain for himself what he
can so readily obtain for others. He
is in supreme control OF the machine.
and it is just as easy to grind out "
nomination for himself MS it is to grind
out one for Harrison. for Blaine or
for any other ambitious party leader.
His candidacy is ridiculed because he
possesses none OF the elements of
craftsmanship, but is only known to
the country as the organizer of the
greatest Doodle campaign even known
in the history OF the country. 1t should
be remembered, however, that these APP
parent clements of weakness are in
reality elements of strength in man
who aspires to leadership in his
party. Craftsmanship cuts n very
sorry figure in these degenerate times.
Capacity to raise and handle Doodle is
regarded as the most superb accom-
plishment in modern American poll
tics; in fact, it is essentially the fine
art of politics, and in this respect th c
charge of amateurishness can not be
laid at Mr.. Quay's door.
Senator Quay can get the nomina-
tion if he wants it. His friends are
not modest in their assertion that he
does covet it. So that, unless Mr..
Quay dies or loses his ambition within
the next three years, the Republican
nomination for 1892 is practically set
tied. 1t is not Il matter of surprise,
therefore, that the Harrison Admins
tration is jogging along in such n
listless sort of u way. To man of in
tense piety and deep moral convic-
tions like General Harrison it must be
a rasping reflection that the best re-
suits of his Administrative will be 10
leave his party at the absolute mercy
of the boss boodler of American poll
tics. Still, Quay's elevation to the
Presidency would be the logical re-
suit of the Harrison campaign. st.

A PECULIAR DOCUMENT.

Business-Lilxe Nature.

Ante-Nuptial Agreement of Prosaic.
Business-Like Nature.
An ante-nuptial agreement, a docu-
ment rarely met with in this part of
the country, was filed in the county
clerks Office at Albany the other day.
Its intent is to protect the respective
possessions of each OF the contracting
parties from liability for debts con-
tracted by the other. Following is a
literal copy, including few mistakes
in photography:
"Know all men by these presents
that, l, Samuel Woods, manufacturer,
of the city of Montreal, in the province
of Quebec, in the Dominion of Canada,
of the first part, and Jennie l.. Martin,
spinster, of the city of Albany. of the
United States of America. OF the second
part. being about to be joined in the
bonds of holy matrimony, hereby mu-
tually covenant and agree that the afore-'
said Samuel Woods, of the first part.
shall not be liable for any debts now or
hereafter for which tho aforesaid Jen-
ME l.. Martin is or may be liable; and,
furthermore, that the aforementioned
party of the second part shall not be
liable for any debts, which the said
party Of the first part now owes, Or
which he may hereafter contract also
that she, the said. Jennie L.. Martin.
shall be separate as to all property.
whether real or personal, which She
now has or hereafter may acquire. to-
have and to hold entirely apart for her
own benefit or use as she, the aforesaid
Jennie l.. Martin. may see fit, and in
consideration Of which she hereby re-
nounces all right of DOVER"

Woods and Jennie l.. Martin, and wit

THE SOuTH'S DEMOCRACY.
Harrison's Insulting Scheme for Debauch-
ing Public Opinion.

Harrison's Insulting Scheme for Debauch-
ing Public Opinion.
The Presidents anxious desire is, ii
appears, to build up white Repub-
lican party in the South. He under
stands that any party depending al
most exclusively on the negroes for
support can never succeed in that Sec
ton. In this conclusion he is un-
doubtedly right About three-ffths of
the Southern people are white, and
the white man at the North who be-
lieves a large white majority on the
other side Of "Mason and Dixon s
line'' can be permanently subjected to
a negro minority is hopeless idiot.
But Mr.. Harrison is not we'll in
formed if he supposes that the Demo-
cratic majority in the Southern States
may be broken up by the dispensation
OF patronage. That method was as
siduously tried throughout the adj
ministrations of Grant, Hayes and
Garfield and Arthur. There are sordid
wretches, no doubt, in Southern as
well as Northern communities, who

pottage or petty office, but the sale
can not be concealed, and the merce-
naries take no following with them.
The truth is that while the division
of parties at the North is now almost
wholly on the tariff line, the Republican
ism of the South represents spoliation
by protection and negro domination.
1t is impossible that either of these
can command extended support among
the intelligent and self-respecting
farmers of the great Southern agri-
cultural States. just as it is impossible
that shrewd Northern farmers can APP
prove II tariff system that substantially
doubles the price of every manufact-
ured article they consume.
The President scheme for debauch-
ing public opinion at the South with
paltry official bribes is an insult to the
intelligence OF the people. When he
has something better than tariff
rapacity, monopolistic greed and
negro domination to offer as party
programme he may be able to win re-
cruits. Until then he can not reason
ably expect that the success achieved
last year by stupendous corruption
will be repeated. The great Demo-
cratic State of New York will not

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 2o. The State and the
city rose to the sublimity OF the occasion to-day
and the ceremonies attending the laying of the
cornerstone OF the soldiers monument were
beftting the event.
The day was ushered in by the firing of the
Presidential salute of twenty-one guns, and the
streets even thus early showed large attend
ance of the G. A. r. and citizens generally,
and as the early morning trains began arriving
the crowds were increased until 1t Is estimated
tnat the visitors numbered 10000 people, and
even much higher figures are claimed. Excur-
sion trains were run on all the lines, while con-
uguous counties sent hundreds by wagons and
carriages, until the country roads in every di-
rection were fairly blocked.
At an exceedingly early hour the Hotel Den
nison, whore the Presidents party was quar-
tered, was thronged with crowd eager to wait
upon General Harrison but he had entered the
previous night very much fatgued, and he
slept quietly through the clamor until 8
O'clock Breakfast was then served the party,
including the President General Rusk, Private
Secretary Halford and a few friends, and short
ly after o'clock they were joined by Attorney
General Miller, who had spent the night ut his
own residence.
At 1Oo'clock reception was held, President
Harrison taking position in Parlor 10, with Gen
eral Rusk, Attorney General Miller and Dis
trict Marshal Ransdell in supporting distance,
and the people approached up the main stair
way between long files of policemen and pass
ed downward through Parlor s. General uarri-
son shook hands with every man, woman and
child that passed him, and it was astonishing
how many he knew personally to whom he ad-
dressed pleasant word. The old soldiers pre-
dominated and it was common expression to
hear the claim that they had served in his regi-
ment or brigade. The inmates of the Soldiers
Orphans Home at Knightstown, numbering one
hundred or more, were also presented during
this time, and each little unfortunate was givea
n special greeting.
Before the reception closed the Presidents
party was Joined by General Manson Hon.
John Coburn and General Carnahan.
Shortly after II o'clock the doors were closed
to the public but the President and party re-
.mained in the parlors until lunch was served,
and many personal friends were received
Shortly after o'clock the procession formed
for the grand parade.

MODIFICATION OF SLEEP.
Condition Under Which Sound Ceases tt
BE n Stimulus.

Sleep is much modified by habit.
Thus, an old artillery man often enjoys
tranquil repose while the cannon are
laundering around him; an engineer
has been known to fall asleep within a
boiler while his fellows were beating
it on the outside with their ponderous
hammers; and the repose of miller is
nowise incommoded by the noise of his
mill. Sound ceases to be stimulus
to such men, and what would have
proved an inexpressible annoyance to
others is by them altogether unheeded.
1t is common for soldiers to sleep ON
horseback and coachmen on their
coaches. During the battle of the Nile
some boys were so exhausted that they
fell asleep on the deck amid the deaf
ening thunder Of that dreadful engage
ment.
Nay, silence itself may become a
stimulus, while sound ceases to be so.
Thus, miller being very ill his mill
was stopped that he might not be dis
turbed by its noise; hut this. SO far
from inducing sleep. prevented it alto
gether, and it did not take place till
the mill was set a-going again. For
the Same reason the manager of some
vast iron-wcrks, who slept close to
them amid the incessant din OF ham
mers, forges and blast furnaces, would
awake If there was any cessation of the
noise during the night. To carry the
illustration still further. it has been
noticed that person who falls asleep
near church, the bell OF which is
ringing. may hear the sound during the
whole of his slumber, and be neverthe-
less aroused by its sudden cessation.
Here the sleep must he imperfect, 9TH
erwise he would be insensible to the
sound; the noise of the boil was no
stimulus; it was its cessation, which,
by breaking the monotony, became so
and caused the sleeper to awake. IN.

QUAY FOR PRESIDENT.
An announcement Which Is Much More
Serious Than 1t Seems.

1t Is given out on good authority
that Senator Quay has actually made
up his mind to be the next Republican
candidate for President, and that he
is now maturing his plans for control
ling the next National convention of
his party in his own interest. On the
first blush this announcement appears
to have tinge of the ludicrous; and
yet, when one stops to ponder over
the matter, 1t readily assumes seri-
GUS aspect Upon reflection we dis
cover that there is really no reason
why Mr. Quay should not become his

SUMMARY.


Moose Ropes to Save Life.
Many travellers by rail and steam have
doubtless speculated as to the reason for
the existence Of a soft Of gallows erected
over railroad tracks, with not one but a
dozen rope ends dangling from thecross-
beam.
Frequently along the line Of the New
York Central are these odd looking
structures to. be seen, and noticed
couple as passed under the bridges on
the Culver route from Bay Ridge to
Coney Island recently. A few days later
the knotted but nooseless ropes swinging
in the breeze caught my eye as was
awaiting train at little depot on the
Hudson river, and curiosity induced me
to question q railroad employe On the
subject
The mystery that had puzzled me so
frequently was simple enough Of solu-
ton. "That continuance is intended to
warn freight brakemen of a bridge
ahead" said my informant. These
men, Us you know, frequently run along
the roofs of freight cars in the night as
well as the day time. It is often pitch
dark, and they may not know where
they are even if on the lookout for posi-
BILE dangers. But in nine times out Of
ten they are too much engrossed ID their
work to think about low bridges, where
man standing erect or even kneeling
on q car roof would have his brains
dashed out against the hard stone or
