BULLY BEN,

There are no modest flies on BEN
HARRISON. He knows good thing
when he sees it, and is not afraid to
ask for it. Having experimental with
the presidential Office for one year, he
likes the job; Ne has found enough of
sinecuriSm in it to make the place agree
able-free house rent and furnishings
cut quite figure in his domestic econ
Omy- and as for the salary, it beats an In
dianapolis law practice all hollow. Ac-
cordingly, BENJAMIN HARRISON, Es-
quire, by grace of QUAY and JOHN
WANAMAKER's Doodle president of the
United States, in manner and form not
provided by statute, authorizes his
bosom friend and most confidential ad-
wiser to proclaim to the world in gen.
eral. and the Republican party in par
ticular, that he intends to stand as a
candidate for reelection.
There is no news in President HAIR
RIsoN's candidacy for denomination.
There is too much of the selfish element
of human nature in him to suppose for
moment that he would voluntarily
surrender all office with big salary at
tached to it. But there is something
exceedingly novel in his manner of pro-
claiming himself candidate. 1t is the
tlrSt instance in one hundred years of
federal government that president
adopted the method of ward politics by
authorizing public announcement of
his candidacy for reelection. There
has possibly never been president but
had some of the Barkis quality and
was willing to hold on for two terms.
but they have invariably cloaked their
purposes with the mantle OF modesty so
as to make it appear that the Office was
seeking the man.
Why Gen. HARRISON should have
made this innovation at this time is an
interesting question. Possibly it may
have been the result of the swel-head
which prompted the idea that the coun-
try couldn't get along without his dis
tinguished services at the head of the
appointing bureau. 1t is more probable.
however, that this public proclamation
of his intended candidacy was found to
be necessary to head off conspiracy in
his own party to defeat him of a renom-
ination. And yet it is doubtful if it will
have the intended effect. IL is certain
that the signs of party's revolt against
its leader have never been more appar
ent since the days of JOHN TYLER than
are now to be seen in the Republican
organization. A mutinous spirit pre-
walls from one end of the organization TO
the other. 1t is an exceptional thing these
days to meet Republican who is not
damning the HARRISON administration.
Such widespread discomfort i'm the
ranks has stimulated the ambitious

SILVER BOWS PROTEST.

Silver Bow has been heard from in
the Montana senatorial controversy.
The city of Butte is not only in Silver
Bow county, but it is virtually the
county, so far as the voting strength is
concerned. The people were asked yes
terday, by their vote in the Butte mu-
nicipal election, to say which set of
legislative delegates were elected from
that county-the Republican or Dem
ocratic. The issue was clear and
straight. without any side shows to it.
The response comes in laundering tone
that Silver Bow county elected DEM
ocrats to the last Montana legislature,
and that the men now in Washington
claiming seats in the United States
senate as Republicans are frauds of the
first water.
The senate will probably vote Oh the
Montana case to-day, but before the
vote is taken we would like to have
every senator read the Butte election
returns, and then say upon his oath and
his honor whether he believes that
POWER and SANDERS ought to be seated.

and Endurance in a Mill.
New York World.
Mary Ann and Ellen Frances Dough-
erty, two Irish girls in the employ of
Barbour Bros, thread manufacturers of
Paterson, have deposited with that firm
$4,000, every penny of which has been
saved from their earnings. The girls
came to this country ninetden years ago
and found work in the mill, where they
have been ever since. The conditions
under which this money has been accu-
mulated are remarkable, since they
show the hardship imposed by labor
and endured by woman laborers.
i. Few American girls could have stood
tine ordeal. Employed in the wet spin
ming room, where the moisture under
foot and the steam hest overhead made
it necessary, for comfort and conven-
fence, to dispense with all superb us
clothing. they worked without shots or
stockings. wearing low-necked and
sleeveless dress from one years end to
the other. In this unsightly garb the
expense of clothing was reduced to a
minimum, half of the twenty-four hours
being spent in the mill.

PANAMA, April 1G. - Things down
here are beginning to look less somber.
So far, nothing whatever is known con-
corning the report of the French COM
mission which recently investigated the
condition Of the canal here, as it will
not be made public until the 18th inst.
That an idea OF the general nature of
the report has been given in advance,
however, seems certain, inasmuch as
the arrangements far discharging most
of the remaining staff here have been
definitely cancelled. Moreover, the fol-
lowing telegram was received by Mr..
Sautereau, the protector of the interior
lake system, who sailed on the french
mail steamer France on the 9th inst:
The central committee intend soliciting
from the Colombian government an extern
sion OF the concession in favor of the holders
OF titles (porteurs de titres) with the concur.
renee OF the liquidator of the canal.
The two incidents have had the effect
of intensifying confidence here in the
future of the Panama enterprise. The
congress of Honduras unanimously APP
proved the ''pact0 de union," celebrated
In San Salvador on the 18th of October
last. The Guatemalan national legis-

HER DOLLS OUTING.
The Small Girls Adventure in a

The Small Girls Adventure in a
Washington Street Car.
A rather small girl of perhaps eight
summers got aboard an F street car the
day before yesterday with doll thrown
over her shoulder as big as four-year-
old child. under the weight of which
she positively staggered. 1t had
on a real little boys hat, and
it was not until the passengers
had had time to observe the fixity Of its
round-eyed stare and the unnatural hue
of its porcelain complexion that they
realized it was not an actual infant. 1t
even had Oh thick coat for protection
against the weather, made in the latest
fashion, and its hair hung in golden
ringlets over its shoulders.
The little girl seated herself near the
forward end of the vehicle aud placed
the doll beside her in the attitude of
looking out of the window, as children
do, kneeling upon the seat. Presently
the conductor came along for fares, and
she handed him single ticket.

"Well, he may be your cousin for all
know; but yer gOtter pay fer him un-

'All right" said the small girl, philo-
sophically, ''I'll take him.
And with that she lifted the doll into
her lap, SO that it faced the conductor,
who. after gazing at it for eight seconds
by the watch, rushed out upon the plat
form amid the tittering of the other
passengers, and. in his agitation, re-
corded four extra uncalled-for fares.

1T WORKS WE'LL.

There has been flippant suggestion in
Republican papers that the Democrats
had found in the Rhode Island election
that the practical operation of the Aus
tralian ballot law was unfayorabie to
them, for such reasons us that it inter
fered with the purchase of votes, or
more of their voters were unable to
comprehend its processes If such i'm
pressions will abate Republican oppoSi-
ton to the system, land induce its adoption
in all the legislatures they control, it is
to be hoped they will continue to fancy
that it has party advantage for them.
1t is believed to warrant the claims
made for it, that it promotes the purity
and integrity of the ballot, and those
are considerations not to be put in the
scales against mere partisanship. Par
ties are temporary structures-mer
agencies for the accomplishment of
purposes of the hour. An hon
est ballot is cornerstone in
worthy and durable political
fabric. Still, no Democrat need abate
his zeal for the reform ballot Oh account
of its operation in Rhode Island. 1t is
the testimony of Rhode Island Demo-
Gratis that it does break into the vote
traffic for which that state has been
quite noted. The Rhode Island men,
Der of the national Democratic commit
tee makes this statement, and says
'.from purely partisan standpoint the
Democrats gain by it," Another Dem
ocrat of the state says sthe system
meets with unqualified praise from all
classes except two-the one willing to
buy and the other to sell votes" A
Democratic legislature with all the state
officers is assurance enough for those
Democrats who only are concerned for
partisan results. The official tickets
contained ninety-eight lines and nearly
as many names, but the voters had very
little trouble in fixing their tickets.

The San Francisco fish market should
be as fine as any in the world. 1t would
probably excel almost all, from the
bountiful sources from which it may
draw its supplies, were it not that the
fishing is mOnopolized by Cinnamon. who
keep up prices by maintaining short
supply. Many of the varieties of fish
common with us are seen on the stands
of the San Francisco market. Shell fish,
except the lobster, abound. Oysters are
very large, but utterly destitute of flavor.
Shad are plentiful in the season, and
much larger than with us, some having
been taken of a weight of thirteen
pounds. Salmon from the Columbia
river fl sheries are abundant and cheap:
also smelt, and all of the founder family
except the halibut. Spanish mackerel
are scarce and high in price; bonito also,
while the sea bass is of gigantic proper
tons, sometimes attaining weight OF
Seventy-fiye pounds. OF the fresh-Water
fishes, the Tahoe trout is plentiful, and
ranges in weight from few ounces to
five pounds, and the Sacramento perch,
which about completes the list of fresh
water fishes offered for sale. Rock cod
is the staple fish. while the white stur
geon is eagerly bought.

BONFlRES IN The SOUTH.
Why They Are Lighted in Front of
Many Mansions.


New York Press.
l was walking, the other day, with a
gentleman just returned from long
trip through the South. when he told
me about innumerable fires in the open
air which he saw as the train swept
across Alabama and Georgia at night.
1t seemed, he said, as if there was a
bonfire in front of every country mall
sion.
C. H. Parmelee, former Southerner,
now living here, to whom | mentioned
this observation, said to me: Nv by. he
was just about right. There is bonfire
in front of nearly every country man
sion in the South tonight. 1t is located
some distance from the house, and is
built to gather the mosquitoes and in
seets, which fly to the light,
and leave the people sitting
or the porches in comfort. That is
one of the Oldest and most common prac-
tees in the South. Animals as we'll as
insects are attracted by fire, you know
a horse will dash headlong into fire at
night, and when stables catch fire the
only way to save the animals is to blind
fold them with blankets"

Addie Vareles. young girl about six
teen years of age, who lives with her

tured deer one day last week and at
once became the heroine of the county.
The Prospect says the girl heard some
dogs barking in the direction of the
river, and ran down to where the dogs
had a buck deer bayed in a hole of
water. She returned to the house,
and the only weapon she could
find was butcher knife. Her presence
encouraged the dogs, and when she re-
appeared on the scene the dogs sprang
at the deer, ard with the aid of Addie
the buck was thrown down. aud in less
time than it will take to tell the story
the deer'S throat was cut from ear to
ear. Addie says it was no small task
to hold the animal down with his throat
cut. but she knew that to let go of the
buck before it was dead would endan-
ger her own life.

LIEUT.. FINLEY, one of the signal
service officers. would not seem to quite
agree with Gen. GREEDY in his theory
that tornadoes are not more numerous of
late years, although more are reported in
the papers. FINLEY has been keeping
the count for seventeen years, and finds
that, while in 1870 there were but nine,
in 1886 the number had by constant
growth got up to $50. The last two
years the number has fallen off, there
being but forty-two in 1889. The indi-
cations are that there will be full
quota this year. Mr.. GREEDY may be
taken as good authority when he asserts
that no cyclone can get into the more
solidly built part of city. This is of
interest when visiting st. Louis, Chicago
and other cities within the possible
tornado range.
