HARRISON AS A SOUTH.HATER.

HARRISON AS A SOUTH.HATER.
l see no reason to believe that the
President has not been in active
sympathy with all that his party has
done and left undone in Congress.
His own performances, have not,
however, been one whit in advance of
the Legislative Department. He has
done nothing South OF Mason and
Dlxon's line since his Inauguration,
except to recognize with reluctance
that any such country existed. His
own appointments, with just few
enough honorable variations to prove
a rule, have been of men not repre-
sentative of character, influence, or ca
Pacity. He has shown utter inaptitude
to square his action with his utteran-
ces, his performances with his prom
ises, his principles with his prejudices,
or his status with his statute. He
has been the instrument, willing or un-
willing, Of the machine elements OF
his party, and for the want of bold
and brave catholic action he has
made himself responsible for the fact
that in the North and West there is
divided Republican party and that
in the South there is none worthy
of the name. After less than two
years of his administration Mr.. Har-
rison has removed the last vestige with
which we had hoped that the Republi-
can party, by fostering an American
policy, by subordinating the past to
the present, by equal consideration for
all sections, by removal of unnecessary
burdens of taxation might prove itself
the restorer of the Union as we'll as the
preserver Of Federal Government.
ALL SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS CAN DO.
1t is not worth while for one man,
or one thousand men, to seek to stay
the current OF partisanry which has
swept Republicanism from its legiti-
mate moorings. But one thing
remains in my judgment for us
to do-for men who recognize
a higher duty than that which
can be expressed by party
that is to free ourselves
from all part and lot with a party
which has no faith too sacred for vio-
lation and recognizes no pledge as
too solemn to be broken. l cannot
lend myself to the oppression of my
people and if there is no political O.
ganization which meets the full meas.
are of our approval, we can at least
leave that which violates our every
idea of right and sentiment. Not pre-
suming to set up for any other man,
Or set of men, standard of duty, and
willing to concede to every one else
that freedom and thought of action 1
have always claimed for myself, my
resolve, founded on a desire to be
true to myself and my country, is to
refuse all sympathy or cooperation
with the Republican party in the cru
;ade against this section which it now
,spouses, and under the leadership to
which it submits. !,

BOLD TRAIN ROBBERS.
They Cause Wreck and the Life of an
Engineer.

Three Men i oard an Engine and Attack

Passengers Injured.
VAN VERT. O., July ia bold at
tempt at train robbery was made late
last night on the Cincinnati, jackson
and Michigan railroad. Three men
boarded the engine of the northbound
passenger train at Enterprise, o., and
attacked Engineer Vandevender and his
fireman with hammers and coupling
pins, knocking both senseless. They did
not succeed in stopping the train, how
ever, probably owing to the plucky
fight made by the train men, and jumped
off before reaching Van Vert. The
engineer and fireman were
Both Lying SenseIess in the Cab
of the locomotive and the train, which
should have stopped at Van Vert sta
tion, rushed through the yard at the
rate of twenty-five miles an hour.
Here it collided with switch engine
and Engineer Vandevender was found
dead in the wreck. The fireman is still
unconscious and it cannot be learned
whether the engineer was killed by the
train robbers or met his death in the
collision. None of the passengers were
seriously injured.

..The End of cheapness-Nothing."

Says Master Workman Powderly in a
recent interview:
Every step in reducing the standard
Of living and wages of the laborer re-
duces the wages of the skilled workmen
as well. When IS cents day in 1890
takes the place of 81 in 1889 each recipi-
ent of such wages must curtail his pur-
chases in order to conform to the % per
cent. reduction in wages. Less of food,
less of clothing, not so many shoes and
cheaper lodgings must be had, and those
who make shoes, clothing and articles Of
household use find that their business
falls off also; the falling off in business
is followed by a reduction in wages, and
the evil stream runs the entire length
until all are infected.
"The cheapening of labor cheapens
production; cheap production cheapens

Ten Hours, Labor Here and Abroad

When the Free-traders are cornered
by authoritative comparisons of the
rates of wages in this country and
abroad they have a way of answering
that it is not the nominal amount, but
the purchasing capacity of worlman's
pay, that is the determining factor
"What matters it," they say, ''that an
English wage Garner receives only three
shillings and an American wage Garner
a dollar and a half, if the former sum
will purchase as much of the necessaries
of life in England as the latter sum will
do in the United States?" Some recent
investigations of the Wisconsin bureau
of labor and industrial statistics throw
an interesting light on the essential hum
bug of this favorite Free-trade inquiry.
The bureau has prepared the following
table of the relative percentages of bread,
meat, pork and butter that can be pur-
chased for the wages received for ten
hours labor in Wisconsin and in several
of the European cities:

The Cupola Exploded and Molten Iron
Flew Out Over the Workmen.
NEW YORK, July 21.-A frightful ac-
cident occurred Saturday afternoon in
Cassidy & Adler's foundry, No. 533 West
Fifty-fifth street. The cupola in which
the iron is melted exploded shortly be-
fore o'clock. The molten iron flew in
all directions among the workmen en-
ployed in that part of the foundry.
Sixteen men in all were burned by the
red-hot metal. Eighty men were at
work in the room where the cupola is
when the explosion occurred. The
cupola contained tons of refuse of metal
which in melting generated gas. The
molders were getting ready to cast the
metal and had taken out two ladlesful
of the molten iron when the bottom
side of the cupola was blown out with
terrible crash, scattering the kissing
mass in all directions.

greatest happiness in this life as well as
in the life to come.

rooms, baths, games, athletic apparatus,
and last, but not least, bowling alley

thousands, while the church sits by and
weeps, wondering why the fish do not

NOW I LAY NE DOWN TO SLEEP. q"

In the quiet nursery chambers,
Snowy pillows yet impressed,
See the forms of little children
Kneeling, white-robed for their rest.
All in quiet nursery chambers,
While the dusky shadows creep,
Hear the voices of the children
Now / lay me down to sleep
In the meadow and the mountain
Calmly shine the winter stars,
But across the glisIening lOwlands
Slant the mOOnlight's silver bars
In the silence and the darkness,
Darkness growing still more deep,
Listen TO the little children
Praying God their souls to keep.
ssIf we die--so pray the children
And the mothers head drops low
Zone from out her fold is sleeping
Deep beneath the winters snow,
Take our SOULS" and past the easement
Fits CLEAN Of crystal light,
Like the trailing of His garments
Walking evermOre in white.
Little souls that stand expectant,
Listening at the gates OF life,
Hearing far away the murmur
OF the tumult and the strife;
We, who fight beneath those banners,
Meeting ranks of fOemen there,
Find deeper, broader meaning
In your simple veSper prayer.
When your hand shall clasp this standard
Which, to-day, you watch from far;
When your deeds shall shape the conflict
In this universal war,
PRAY to Him the God of battles,
Whose strong eye can never sleep,
In the warning Of temptation,
Firm and true your souls to keep.
When the combat ends, and slowly
Clears the smoke from out the skies;
When, far down the purple distance,
All the noise of battle dies;
When the last nights solemn shadows
Settle down on you and me,
May the love that never faileth
Take our souls eternally.

The corpse was buried soon after. DIR.

Original Package Houses Declared Illegal
in the New States.
CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., July 21.-Judge
Haney, of this district, has sustained
his temporary injunction closing the
original package houses in this city.
The grounds given for the decision are
that the enabling act admitting South
Dakota to statehood authorized the
enactment of the prohibition clause in
the state constitution. Such enabling
act having been passed by congress sub
sequent to the passage of the interstate
commerce law, the prohition law has re-
ceived the sanction of congress, and the
supreme court decision does not apply to
South Dakota. This brings up new
question, which will be carried up, and
which, if sustained, will be of great i'm
portance to all the new states which
have adopted prohibition.
