THREE parachute accidents-two of
them with fatal results-within three
days furnish very conclusive proof
that that kind of business is being
overdone, and that while it may be
a safe thing to do by some people, it is
a performance that requires the ex-
ercise of GOODNESS, caution and a better
knowledge of @ronauties than appears
to have been possessed by most of the
men and women who have risked and
forfeited their lives in endeavors TO
create public sensations and to make
money.

POLITICAL

Alter Monday next the political cam.

the meantime the great western crops,
now already harvested, are being
gathered in and made ready for mar
ket. The proposition of the leaders
of the Alliance party that the farmers
should hold back their farm products,
and thereby be assured of better prices,
has not, as far as is learned, been re-
ceived with much favor. The fact is,
the farmers are not as a general thing
prepared to adopt the suggestion.
Their financial condition is not such
as warrants them in Withholding.
They need the money too badly for
that, and no doubt the bulk of them

EUROPEANS are beginning to have
a more truthful conception of the
American people than they have
hitherto had. When touring in the

were deeply imbued with anglo.

KEYSTONE REPUBLICANS.
The State Convention Meets at Harris

HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 1S.-The Re.

here tomorrow, has only to nominate
candidates for two State o~fices-Treas-
urer and Adjutant-G eneral-and yet 1t
is attracting attention, and is given an
importance greater In some aspects than
If its work were to be the nomination Of
a Gubernatorial ticket and the selection
of delegates-at. large to attend the Ma
tional convention.
Senator Quay reached here last even
ing with State Chairman Andrews, ex-
Collector Martin and others. Charles
Emory Smith, Minister to St. Peters,
burg, came up from Philadelphia on the
same train, The latter sid thai it would
be unwise for the convention at this time
to express any Presidential preferences,
and added that he thought the platform
would strongly indorse the administra-
ton Of President Harrison. OF course,
some approving reference would be made
to reciprocity as well.
There will be n pretty lively contest
for the two offices to be filled. Gen.
GreSg will probably be named for Audi
tor-General, though Giles D.. Price, of
Erie, is giving him a close race. Which
ever one fails to get that place will
stand the best chance for the State
Treasurership, though John w. Norris
sey, of Allegheny, and e~x-Speaker Thomp-
son, of Warren, are now the only avowed
candidates for that place.
An interesting phase of the proceed
ings will be over the selection of the
chairman of the State Committee. VIM.
II. Andrews cannot be reelected, 30 the
probabilities are that Senator Quay will
seek to put the selection in the hands of
the candidates, which will mean the
choosing of one not unfriendly to him.
A fight may develop over this, as the re-
cent practice has been for the conven-
ton TO make the selection,

Shackford, aged 10 years, went to the
Thousand Islands yesterday morning on
an excursion. On his way to his home
in this city he went into commissions and
was held by several men to keep him
quiet. He frothed at the mouth, and it
is said that he tried to snap at and bite
those attending him. The case was
called hydrophobia at first, but now the
two physicians attending him say that
they are certain it is not. The boy is
said to have been bitten by a dog some
time ago, but the doctors say the trouble
is not due to such a source. Young
Shackford has been of a very nervous
temperament and has smoked a good
