DIR. HARRISON is said to be greatly
worried by that clause in Blaine letter
to Frye wherein he says "there is not q
section, line or word in the Mckinley
bill that will enable US to find a market
+
for another bushel of wheat or anorhe'
barrel of pork. - Benjamin policy is
10 sell as much and buy as little as posi-
BILE. That may do very well in real
estate transactions, when the necessity
Tor buying is obviated by the active gen.
erosity of interested friends who make
one valuable presents of handsome cot
different between nations, as Benjamin
may learn, if he lives long enough.

THAT CHESTNUT COTTAGE.
President Harrison Paid $4,000 for the
Outft-The Subscribers Got Their
Money Back.
special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-The World pub
fishes the following special:
CAPE MAY POINT, N. j., Aug. p
The mystery of the president cottage
at Cape May Point is solved at last. 1t
was q gift, but the adverse COM
ment on its acceptance impelIed Presi-
dent Harrison to pay over the amount
it and the furniture in it cost. The cor
respondent of the World tonight, in
answer to an explicit written inquiry,
obtained the following equally explicit
statement from William V. McKean,
chief editor of the Philadelphia Ledger,
who raised the subscription for the pur-
chase of the cottage:
CAPE MAY POINT, Aug. 2.-Dear
Sir: You write me that the New
York World desires to know from me
whether payment for the Cape May
Point cottage has been made by tho
president or by any one for him. To
ing any obligation to give an
swer to the question, that
the president has paid in cash for the
cottage and its contents; $4,000 for the
cost of the cottage, and $1,000 for the
cost of its furniture and equipments,
$40, 200 in all. That payment Is abso-
lutte, so far as the president
is concerned, he having expressed uu-
bounded satisfaction with the cottage
and property. That payment is consid-
cred final by the subscribers and is
accepted as final very greatly to
their regret and against their wishes
frequently and earnestly expressed to the
president. Very truly,
w. V. mexican.
The correspondent asked Mr.. Mexican
to whom Mr.. Harrison paid the money,
but he would not say. All he would say
in addition to what he had written was
that the gentlemen concerned received
their money back very reluctantly.

Theosophy and spiriruaIism.
Madame Blavatsky in North American Revi
for August

Madame Blavatsky in North American Review
for August.
1t is the worse for the public, partIcu-
larly for the religious feelings of the
public, that the organs of the sectarian
bigotry should have succeeded so well by
perversion of fact, frenZied calumny
and downright falsehood, in making our
cause and the society appear in such
false light during the past fourteen
years. Nor are the clerical organs alone
in this uudignified and useless work; for
the weekhes of the spiritualists in the
United States are just as bitter and as
untruthful in their ceaseless denuncia-
ton of theosophy. The virulence and
vituperatious of the intellectual apostles
of the "spirit-guides' and "controls -
from the "summer land'' have grown
proportionateIy TO the growth of the
Theosophical society. The effect of the
last convention held by the American
Theosophists of Chicago, on April % and
80 of the present year, furnish brilliant
example of this blind and ferocious
hatred. Such was the decided
and unprecedented success of the
last gathering that even the lead
ing papers of Chicago and other cities
had to admit the fact finding almost for
the first time naught but words or SYM
patty for the Theosophists. Alone the
organs of disembodied ''angels'' poured
as unsuccessfully as ever their walls of
wrath, mockery and brutal SANDER upon
us. But we heed them not. Why should
we2 The utmost malignity and basest
treachery have not been able either TO
controvert our ideas, belittle our objects,
disprove the reasonableness of our meth
DDS, or fasten upon us a selfish or dis
honest motive. And as our declared
principles are not merely unobjection-
able, but admirably calculated to do good
to mankind, these conspirators and
calumniators have simply kept a multi
tude of religiously inclined persons from
enjoying the happiness they would have
had by understanding theosophy as it
really is, and making it the guiding rule
of their conduct.
If justice be the law of nature, and
injustice transitorY evil, direful must,
indeed, be the retribution these mis-
guided people have evoked upon their
own heads. The suffering we have been
made to endure has but served as dis
cipline and taught US to turn the more

KEMMLER, one of the most brutal
savage and impenitent wife murderers
ever incarcerated behind prison walls in
New York, will probably die this week
by electricity, every means resorted to
by the lawyers having failed to save the
brute's life. While his execution is tn g
best thing possible for society, It must be
a serious disappointment to the lawyers
and the courts which fell down SO ridicu-
lousy IN their efforts of mercy, in behalf
of the savage animal.

The Manufacturers Record of this
week says:
Regardless of the effects of few poll
ticians to retard the South's Industrial
progress, the great mass of the Ameri-
can people North and South are becom-
ing more ana more impressed with the
wonderful activity that is seen every
where from Maryland to Texas. Enter
prises involving millions of dollars are
being pushed ahead by men who a year
or two ago would not believe that the
South possessed the advantages which
the Manufacturers Record had for years
claimed for 1t; nor would they believe
that il was ever to hold the commanding
position in industrial matters which they
are now doing all in their power to give
it. At Norfork and Salem, Va, plans
are being matured by outside capitalists
for extensive steel plants, the one at
Norfolk to make Bessemer steel from
Cuban ores and the one at Salem for
basic steel, while at Buena Vista the
money has been raised for a $500, 900
steel plant. At Tredegar, Ala, work
has been commenced upon the large
steel enterprise recently reported, which
is to have daily capacity of 300 tons of
finished steel, and include rolling mill,
rail mill and cotton tie mill. Here are
four great steel-maklng enterprises
which are but signs of the times that in
dictate that the South is now to turn its
attention to steel-making with the same
vigor that it has for several years given
to the increase in iron production. This
is the rounding out of the South g devel-
opment, and is but the natural order of
growth from the first stages of a coun-
try's development in the making of the
coarser grades of goods to the finer pro-
auctions. As in. iron and steel, SO will
it be in the manufacture of cotton goods,
for the South, having gained control OF
the market for the cheaper grades of
cotton goods, Will now turn its attention
to finer qualities, and in all other lines
of industry We may look for the same
evolution.
The past week has been prolific of new
enterprises, large and small, in addition
to the four steel plants mentioned. At
