THE National Tribune, G.. A. R. organ at
Washington, says: 1--WE must have SO a month
pension, SI44 year, till we all die. Wemu st
have arrears clear back to the war, which will
buy US all homes. We must have all our boun-
ties equalized. The Republican party is pledged
to DO all these things. The election of Harrison
secures to us all these things
This means $500 arrearage in each
case and 5000, 600, 200 year in annual
payments. Even Corporal Tanner has
backed down from his former position in
favor of it, and thoughtful men every
where must oppose it.

"a Lot of Thinking

Baltimore Manufacturers Record.
Northern newspapers are beginning to
open their eyes to the steady progress of
the South in industrial development.
The recent agreement to place a con-
tract for 8 900 900 yards Of cotton bag
ging by the Georgia alliance with Georgia
and Louisiana mills have caused several
Northern papers to make editorial COM
ment In reference TO this contract the
Philadelphia Telegraph asks:
s'where has it (the AIliance) gone for that
considerable quantity of goods? To the New
England miIlsf Not at all. It might have done
so once, and not so very long ago, but now it has
no need to do so. The contracts were given to
mills III Louisiana and Georgia. and the incident
is very completely illustrated Of the many radi-
cal changes which have taken place in one OF
cur leading industries. The South has no longer
any need to divide an important part of its rev.
enues with the cotton spIHners OF Massachusetts
and Rhode Island. 1t does its own work and
keeps its money at home. This incident viii

Several other similar incidents have
occurred recently that have caused ga

tract IN Boston for ironwork to a Geor-

not only on the part OF Boston editors,
but of editors throughout New England.
The skirmish of Southern ironmen in the
North and West preparatory to an inva-
sion of the country with their products
has caused ga lot OF thinking on the
part of Northern mine owners and iron
producers, and the intention OF En-

Choice of a summer Resort.

New York Herald.
The London Lancet gives some timely
counsel to the large classes of over
worked, nervous and otherwise invalided
people who in taking summer trip are
compelled to consult health before pleas
ure.
In deciding between seaside, mountain
or inland resort of moderate elevation,
the Lancet gives decided preference to
the marine resort for persons convalescing
from fever or acute diseases and suffer-
ing from pure debility, without fever or
much irritabi1ity Persons who have re-
Gently suffered from pneumonia or acute
bronchitis, it says, should go to sheltered
and mud marine resorts, as also patients
in the earliest stages Of phthisis. For
cases of breakdown from simple mental
over work or over-worry, it recommends
the mountains or the mildly stimulating
air of highlands.
These suggestions if carried out by
delicate people who go summering may
prove very useful. Sea air and mountain
ar, both pure and both Astounding in
ozone, act very differently on different
people. Victims of rheumatism often
find the air of both mountain and seaside
too cold and damp. Such patients and
many other sufferers who cannot stand
stimulating air viii frequently do well at
an inland resort of moderate altitude.
For the aged or infirm it may confidently
be said cold places, whether by the sea
or on high mountain SUBMITS, are not
desirable, unless for few days. 1t is
also unsafe for aged subjects of chronic
bronchial catarrh to pass suddenly from
very dry to very humid climate, or
for tuberculous patients above fifty
years, and perhaps for diabetes, to stay
long in high attitudes.

Why Women Don't Like Jokes.
Washington Post.


Women as a rule are not fond of jokes;
they listen to clever stories with stimu-
lated amusement and forget them imme-
diately. The reason of this lies in one OF
the essentials of the make mp or woman-
her profound and tender sympathy.
Humor deals with the weakness OF
humanity; il exposes foibles ard
punctures tender skin HumOr
sets the world laughing at some bluHder
of man. 1t is woman nature to cover
up, excuse and reform. Follies are too
serious in her eyes 10 laugh at.
If women were humorists they would
not be the most earnest church workers,
the most tender of nurses and the mos!
sentimental and refined portion Of
humanity. The same inherent quality
which would make true
woman, real woman shrink as judge
from pronouncing q death sentence
or as soldier from shooting an enemy
through the heart, makes 1t Impossible
Tor her TO become a humorist. Wit

say there is no reason why Mr..
Cox should grow any worse during
day, unless there is return of the at :.
tack of heart failure, which the physi-
clans do not an ticipate. That Mr.. CoX's
condition is a precarious one, is estab-

The Ripper Again.

LONDON, September 10.-At $50
o'clock this morning, policeman
found the body of a fallen woman,
lying at the corner of the railway arch
on Cable street, Whitechapel. EX-
animation of the remains showed that
the head and arms had been cut off
and carried away and the stomach
ripped open. The intestines were lying
on the ground. A Gordon of police in
stantly surrounded the spot, butnO ar
rests have up to this hour, s a. M, been
made. Policemen pass this spot
every fifteen minutes those on duty
last night say they saw nothing sus-
piciOus. Physicians who examined
the body state that in their opinion
the murder and mutilation must have
occupied nearly an hour. 1t is sur
missed that the murderer carried off
the head and arms in bag. This
murder is the worst o' the whole
series of the Whitechapel murders.
The murderer was evidently pos
sessed of some surgical skill. The
woman was about thirty years old,
her clothing was shabby and she was
evidently a spirit drinker. The re-
mains have not been identified. Most
intense excitement again prevails in
Whitechapel, crowds surrounding
the mortuary in which the body lies.
Later details concerning the finding
of the body show there was no blood
on the ground where the body was
found, neither was there any blood
on the body; from this it was evident
the murder was committed in some
other place and that the body was
subsequently deposited under the
railway arch.

CELEBRATED CHIEF OF THE BLACK
FEET SIOUX.

A recent dispatch from Fort Yates,
n. d., says that John Grass, chief of
the Blackfeet Sioux, is seriously ill
and not expected to live. He is one OF
the noblest of red men, a man of abil-
ity and great character. OF all the
eminent Indians who fought again st
the United States in the war which
ended in the surrender of Sitting Bull
at Fort Buford John Grass is the most
notable. He has worn the white man,
dress since that event and accOmmo-
dated himself as far as the ability
has been within his reach to civilized
usages. The government appointed
him judge of a native court at Stand
ing Rock. He was selected by the
tribes having their headquarters at
that place to speak for them recently
when the Sioux Commission proposed
to buy their lands. When he saw
that the whites would take the lands
he used his influence in favor of the
government treaty. Grass is about
fOrty-seven years old, nearly six feet
tall and a handsome, courtly man.
He is a friend of education and a
Christian. AS supreme judge of his
nation he has given decisions which
are described as uniformly just.
Whether in peace or war he has
proved himself great man.
