physically the finest man / ever saw.
Tall, straight, muscular, broad-chesteo
and gaunt-waisted, he was one of the
class which Trelawney describes as
natures noblemen, against whom the
plague in the East never made an
attack. Had he lived in the time of
Homer he would have robbed Achilles
Of his sobriquet of swift-footed, tor he
would run faster than white man,
farther than an Indian, and in both
showed that man was organized to be
master of the beast. To elucidate the
last clause of the preceding paragraph
requires the recital of an anecdote.
Captain Harvey carefully attended to
his company's garden, which on the
frontier was necessary for the comfort
as we'll as the health of the men. The
beds had been carefully spaded and
roped, when one of the numerous dogs,
half-grOwn mongrel hound, came
walking across the carefully prepared
ground, and the Captain, storming at
him in tones and language not suited
to the pulpit, frightened the dog so
that instead of going out by the walk
he ran across the bed toward gap in
the fence. The Captain started in full
run after the dog, which had to jump
on the fence and then off it-fatal dis
parity to the dog!-for the Captain
cleared the fence at bound, which
brought him a jump nearer to the dog.
and then he began an even run up the
long slope which led to the fort, before
reaching which Harvey mastered the
dog and Rover suffered in proportion
to the length of the chase. Captain
Harney was also a bold horseman and
fond of the chase, good boatman and
skillful in the use of spear as
fisherman. Neither drinking nor gam
ing, he was clear of those rocks and
shoals of life in frontier garrison,
and is no doubt indebted to this alb
stinence for much of the vigor he has
possessed to his present advanced age"

OPENING THEIR EYES.
Proteotionists Bcginning to See That the

Protectionists beginning to See That the
Present Tariff Is Humbug.
The fact that the very disasters
which the tariff shriekers predicted as
certain to follow Cleveland's re-elec.
tion are coming thick and fast,
although Harrison is in the White
House, is opening the eyes of thou
sands of people to the fact that the
present protective tariff is, for the
most part, II humbug and a swindle.
Wade's Fiber and Fabric. an able
trade journal, which supported Har-
rison vigorously on the tariff issue, no
doubt voices the curiosity of a great
multitude Of deluded victims of mo-
nopoly sophistry, when it wants to
know ''where are the good times
that Harrison's s election was to bring.
1t says: 1--WE were led to believe
that If the party of high protection
secured control of the Government,
we would then, very soon, have good
times. We are a firm believer in pro-
tecting American industries If it could

folly Of the manufacturers and grow
ers of wool in combining to continue
the tariff on wool, "when any one can
see, if he will, that free wool would
be Il great move toward honest pro-
lection" This was the kind of pro-
lection that the Mills bill proposed to
give the woolen industries of the coun-
try by giving them untaXed raw
materials, honest, scientific, legitimate
protection.
The National Labor Tribune, of Pitts
burgh, which preached Harrison and a
high tariff to working-men in the last
campaign, has also discovered that pro-
lection does not protect any body but
capitalists 1t calls the attention of
its readers to the fact that at the pres
ent price OF steel rails in London, with
freight from London to Pittsburgh

burgh would be 1922 ton without
the tariff of SIT. The Allegheny Besse-
lhci company, vi l. lbtopulSn, ido Juob

or less than the English price without
including duty. The National Labor
Tribune wants to know why the ALLIE
gheny Bessemer Company cut so much
under American prices and therefore
compelled a reduction of wages in
stead of maintaining rates and giving
part of the $l7 ton protection to
American workmen. 1t very natural
ly concludes that the $17 duty is n
"howling sarcasm and an outrageous
fraud
All over the country trade and labor
journals are talking in the same strain
as Wade's Fiber and Fabric and the
National Labor Tribune. The logic
of events is opening their eyes-and
we hope the eyes of the readers-to
the folly and wickedness of our Chi
nese system of taxation. The lies
and sophistries of the protectionist
demagogues will not "go down. in

That Is the Latest Name Applied to Ben
Harrison's Eirst-Born.
Richard +. Negley, a leading Re-
publican of Montana, has written a
letter to the President, in which he
says:
1t was the impertinent intermeddling of your
son in Montana politics that assured the Dem
ocrats control OF our constitutional conven-
tion. 1t was his bartering of Federal offices in
Montana, some of them for private gain, and
others for private pique, that will permit the
Democrats to send member of the House of
Representatives and two Senators to Wash
lngton next December
II you had considered the appointment of
Federal officers in Montana as grave public
trust dcvolved upon YOU by the constitution,
instead of conierrng it upon your son as a
private perqusite, to be disposed OF rs he saw
fit, Democratic prospects in Montana would
not now be so glowing.
Prince Russell seems to be about as
heavy load for the Administration to
carry as Dudley himself. His per-
formances as an office-broker have
been especially scandalous, but, as the
st. Louis Republic well says, "he is
merely part of the general disregard
for the decencies and proprieties
which characterizes this Administra-
ton" However, if he has been in
any way instrumental in putting Mon
tana into the Democratic ranks, we
can afford to view his otfenses chari-
tably. .-Indi annapolis Sentinel.

Tho honor shown Mr. Cleveland was

The honor shown Mr.. Cleveland was
well deserved. In reading his remarks
contrast between the late Admins.
tration and the present one is made
almost instinctively, and this contrast
adds great strength to the Democratic
position.
The address of Mr.. Cleveland was
characteristic; showing earnest con.
victlon and an abiding faith in the
people. Few public men have rested
so confidently their cause on the right
judgment OF the people; few. in other
words, have held more strongly to the
principles of Democracy. M. Cleve
land is entitled to the regard, not Of
the party alone, but of all good citizens
regardless of party. That he will in
time have this confidence to degree
equaled only by few who have filed
the high position from which he has
retired, we do not doubt. One can
say this. and much more, in praise and
admiration of Mr.. Cleveland without
intimating that he alone is to be con-
sidered as the nominee of the party
three years hence But certainly Mr..
Harrison's Administration has not
diminished in the least the chances OF
Mr.. Cleveland's denomination. Who
ever is nominated will have the en-
thusiastic support of united party,
for he must represent its truest
aspirations, and make plain its ,pur-
poses concerning the issues of the
time. louisville Courier-Journal.

THE CLEVELAND DINNER,
How Its Success Has Affected the Dream
of Republican Leaders.

of Republican Leaders.
The dinner given by representative
Democrats of New York to Mr.. Cleve-
land has disturbed the dreams of a
number of the Republican leaders.
Any evidence of popular faith in the
ex-President; any testimony to the
value of his public services; any pro-
test against the methods which govern
this Administration, arouses all man
ner of bitterness among the gentlemen
who are asserting that the election of
Mr.. Harrison means new lease of
power for twenty-five years.
But nothing is certain in politics.
Three years before the election of Mr.
Cleveland President of the United
States he was quiet. unassuming
citizen of Buffalo. We have been told
that certain things can not be done be-
cause they have never been done. The
New York Sun says the Democrats
have never nominated defeated can
didate, which would prove nothing if
it were true, but it is not. Andrew
Jackson was defeated when first cam
didatc, and his defeat made his nomi-
nation certain.
We suppose our esteemed contem.
porary will admit that Mr.. Tilden's
failure to secure the Presidency in
1876 did not justify the party in fail
ing to demand that he should accept
the nomination in $780,
will not do to be constantly con-
structing, or reconstructing, history
to suit our desires for the future.
Whether Mr.. Cleveland is to receive
the nomination in 1892 can not be de-
cided one way or the other just yet
There is time enough for such de-
cision, and we doubt not that the mat
ter will be wisely decided at the proper
time.
II is little too early to consider the
nomination. The duty of action rests
on the Republicans; they must take,
the initiative just now, and the record
they are making in every executive
Office naturally fills the Democrats

Chickens Sold by PiecemeaI.

That economy which is so great an ele-
ment in the French character is very
evident in the marketing of fowls. In
Paris half birds can be purchased, both
cooked and uncooked, but at Bordeaux
this division of the fowl is carried out to
q much greater extent, and in the octag-
onal market of the beautiful city on the
Gironde can be seen peculiar looking car
cases offered there for sale-carcasses
whose leading characteristic seems to be
the absence of meat. Legs, wings,
breast. all are gone.
These limbs and portions are offered
for sale separately, and thus a BordelaiSe
housekeeper able, as all French cooks
are, to make fine dish with very little
meat, can buy a leg, or wing, or a
breast, without any of the other por-
tons; or, If the purse Is not well lined,
then the carcass can be taken, from
which splendid dish Of soup may be
made. Even the blood Is sold, showing
that here at least the proverb, Waste
not, want not" Is understood and OBJ
served. How different, says an English
writer. to the wastefulness In the kitchen
of Yankee millionaire, of whom it is
said the breasts alone of the fowls are
cooked and sent to the table, the car
cases, including legs and wings, being
thrown on to the dunghill. The secret Of
French success in poultry culture comes
from the attention paid to the little things,
and from practical belief in the impor-
lance of this branch Of live stock as a
profitable portion Of agricultural opera
tions.-Boston Herald.
