THE RACE QUESTION.
Some Good Advice for Mr.. Harrison and
His Putative Advisers.

His Putative Advisers.
1t has been given out by Colonel
Quay, the present master and leader
of the Republican party, that General
Harrison intended to make the
Southern question: prominent, and
would so settle it that justice would
be done the colored people. How Mr..
Harrison will make it prominent"
or how he will do justice to the
negroes, is not definitely stated. By
the Southern question is presumably
meant the alleged suppression of the
negro vote. Whether the new President
will resort to military governments,
or to returning boards, or to a Presi-
Dental commission, is not known, but
if he will recur to the not very distant
past he will find that all those expert
ments were tried and found to be in
effective in bringing the whites and
black of the Southern States into
political equality. 1t was found that
there must be either white domination
or negro domination, and seven years
of the latter satisfied the people of the
United States on that score for all
time to come. 1t was at last the North
that demanded that military and
negro rule in the South should cease,
and Hayes in carrying it out only
obeyed the command of the people of
the North.
Meantime if Mr.. Harrison thinks he
has mission to cure the ills incident
to illegal and fraudulent local elections
the Herald would advise him to try his
apprentice hand on Indiana. He
knows that State pretty thoroughly,
its people and its politicians. He
could therefore go roundly to work
with them. He knows the men, or can
easily be introduced to them, who
handled the - blocks of five,' and with
but a very little turning of the screw
he can find out precisely how much
per head they cost. A thorough course
of Indiana investigation might at least
prepare him for his Southern expert
ment. Without some such prior prac-
tice the chances are that he will find
himself in maze of difficulties before
he gets half way into the Southern
question. He would better make the
Indiana question prominent first.
Then with what stomach he has left
he can turn Southwark. -Chicago

SHERMAN ON COMBINES.
Another Se1f-COntradictioni in the Ohio
Mans Political Career.

Another Se1f-Contradiction in the Ohio
Mans Political Career.
No living Senator has formulated
sounder principles of legislation or
posed oftener as the defender of such
principles than John Sherman. But
no principle has ever hampered him
when a personal or party -exigency
seemed to suggest flop.
During the canvass he denounced
trusts, denied that protection was for
trade combinations to put up prices,
and declared that all such combina-
lions Ought to be met by reduction
of duty But as soon as the Senate
took up its tariff bill Mr.. Sherman
backed down from these doctrines.
Plumb, of Kansas, offered an amend
ment reducing the present duty Of 1913
a ton Oh steel and iron beams, Orders
and other structural forms to $17.92
instead of $24. Ga as proposed by the
Senate substitute. Plumb showed that
any higher protection than that
proposed by him would enable
the structural iron and steel COM
bine to fix prices at extortionate
rates and keep competition crushed
as has been done already with such
immense profit to Carnegie and other
members of the combine. Whereupon
Aldrich gave notice that any such re-
duction would be the death of the
Senates bill. Its friends would stand
no such attack on trusts and COM
binations to put up prices.
Instead of standing by his own
principles and supporting Plumb's
motion, Senator Sherman coolly
Topped. Instead of holding that ''com-
binations may and ought to be met by
a reduction of duty" he coolly as
serted that the best way to crush them
was by giving them more power and
more protection. This, he said, would
encourage others to enter the business
until competition put down prices.
The idea of encouraging competition
by protecting and aiding combinations
formed for the purpose of crushing
land absorbing competition is not onl
absurd in the light of current history,
but it adds another startling self-con-
tradiction to the long list in Senator
Sherman's political record.-St. Louis
Post-Dispatch.

MISS HARRIET HOSMER.
The Most Distinguished Representa-
of Her Sex in Sculpture.

The Most Distinguished Representative
of Her Sex in Sculpture.
Miss Hosmer was born in Water
town, Mass. in 1888. Her father was
well-known physician, who. having
lost wife and daughter by consumption,
required his surviving daughter to live
in the open air in the hope of strength
ening her constitution. His plan sue
ceeded. Miss Hosmer is as rosy and
vigorous as she is genial and suave
Her father builded better than he
knew. In a clay-pit near their home
she spent many hours amusing herself
modelling animals and shaping in the
docile medium any thing that pleased
her fancy. She then studied anatomy
with her father, who appreciated her
gifts, and her anatomical drawings
were notable for precision before she
had been inside a school-room. At
sixteen she was sent to Mrs. Sedgwick's
school. Thence she went to the studio
of Stephenson in Boston. Friends in
St. Louis becoming interested in her
talents she proceeded West and entered
the medical college of that city to per-
feet herself in anatomy. She remained
until she received diploma. In 1851
Miss Hosmer modelled her first ideal,
"Hesper," and the following year went
to Rome, where she entered the studio
of Gibson Her taste led her into
classic precincts, and her earliest were
Daphne" ''Medusa" and an
"Enone." In 1856 she modelled a

Miss Hosmer has lived abroad the
best part of more than thirty years;
but she is American, as essentially SO
as if she had never crossed the water.
She is small in feature, with that high

Views on the Pension Question.

Views on the Pension Question.
One turns up very queer characters
quite unexpectedly in a big city like
New York. Here was one that re-
porter ran across. He is cab driver,
who, in accepting a Christmas gift of
small coin, said: NO, sir; / won't
smoke with it, but it will come in
handy just the same. l was laid off
five days last week. I have a trouble
that one doctor says comes from a
wound l got before Richmond. and that
another doctor says the wound has
nothing to do with. / suppose there
are plenty getting pensions for less
than that, but 1 won't take one. Oh,
yes, | could get one. Congressman
- and Lawyer - have both been
kind enough to say they would get me
one, but, you see, would have to
make oath that my trouble is due to
my wound, and that can not do con-
scien.iously, for I'm not sure it's true
A man must have some honor about
him.
Il never belonged to the Grand
Army. [ never joined, because it
seemed to me that when we quit fight
ing and laid down our arms we ought
to bury differences, instead of keeping
them alive as the Grand Army does.
The moment the war was over soldier
ing against the South should have
stopped. I'm a Republican, but I'll
admit that President Cleveland did
more to end the differences between
the two parts of the country than any
other man, and now we're going to
have another President who will do
still more.
''Better take a pension? No, sir.
The country has been disgraced by the
way the pension business has been
ove-done. It's a bad thing for men
who don't deserve pensions to be able
to get them by means of political in
fuence. 1t robs the deserving soldier
to have to dilute nations gratitude
with fraud like that. There was some
talk of a bill to give every ex-soldier
pension. Well, IL take that money
if it ever comes, for | served through
the $hole war, and / need the money,
but I'll take no money on a false

THE WINDOW Gl,ASSlSCALs.

The Day for Resumption and no Factory
Resumes-A General strike Looked For.
PlrrsBURan, Sept. 2.-ssturday was
the last day which the window glass
manufacturers had for signing the scale,
and to-day was the time set for general
resumption Of work in case It was signed.
There was no resumption, however, as
only one firm signed the scale, Chambers
& Mckee, OF Jeannetta, and they did not
start up, for the reason that they have
decided to act in harmony with the
other manufacturers.
Since the time has passed for tho
signing OF tue scale, the next thing in
order will be the issuing OF an order
from the national headquarters deClar.
ing a general strike. This has been
looked Tor ever since the last conference
between the wage committees Of the
two associations two weeks ago, when
they failed to reach an agreement. The
wage committees north and east have
done nothing, and the same state oil
affairs exists In those districts. How long
the lockout orstrike will last will depend
much on the state OF trade. Window
glass Of all sizes and grades Is in demand
now, and the probabilities are that the
trouble will soon end. Two factories,
onein Yineland, N. j., and the other in
Washington, Del, are reported as hav-
ing started up, but no report has been
received at the window glass workers
headquarters as yet. The aints have
been at work some time. The several
bottle factories on the South Side start
up tomorrow.

Aseyery one knows the Custom House

court rooms are inaccessible by reason
Of the stairs having been torn out. This

Mr., HaHTell and some others urging
