A Long-Headed Boy.

"Never throw stones at carter when
you are alone" said small Canadian
boy to the painter of his portrait whom
he had taken into his confidence. You
must always have another boy with you
when you throw stones at carter"
''Why?" Because when the carter gets
down to run after you, then the other
boy can throw stones at the horse and
start him up, and the carter will be
obliged to leave you alone and go to take
care of his horse. Always have another
boy with you when you throw stones at .

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, March 30, 1884,
Mr., Harrison has his dander up to as
great an extent as is possible with
man of his phlegmatic temperament.
The cause was the publication in a
number of republican papers, includ-
ing the New York Press, of Wash
ington special saying that eS> Repre-
sentative Mckinley had determined
to antagonize Harrison tor the Presi.
dental nomination, and intimating
that Mckinley believed himself and
not Harrison entitled to the empty
honor. Mr. Harrison has for quite
q while been mOnOmaniac on this
subject. He has brought himself to
believe that it is crime for any 9TH
or member of his party TO aspire to
what he thinks is his own PERSONAL
perquisite, and he has taken no
trouble to hide this Opiuion from re-
publicans that have called upon him.
Whether the statements made in this
special are true | cannot say, as
Mr.. Mckinley is not here, but that
he hes presidential aspirations has
long been known here, and should
he, by any combination of cream
stances, and the liberal expenditure
of Doodle contributed by the "prOtect-
ed" manufacturers, succeed in being
elected Governor of Ohio this year, l
predict that he will be a candidate
before the next republican national
convention, no matter who he he's to
Antagonize. OF course If he is defeat
ed in his fight for the governorship,
which democrats hope and believe
he will be, that will remove him
from the Presidential field.
Numerous reports hav;ng been
printed coupling the name Of John
NJ. Langston, the negro e".Congress-
man, with one of the new U. S. Cir
cult Court Judgeships. have been
making quiet investigation, with q
view of ascertaining whether Har
rison was really seriously considering
such an insult to the white citizens o.
this country. From what succeeded
in learning it is pretty safe to say thai
Mr.. Harrison is fully prepared, ir
certain contingencies, to elevate {
negro to the bench; but whether
Langston or ono of the half a dozer
other negroes whose application have
been filed, is not apparent. One o
the contingencies referred 20 is pub
lie opinion, and there is good reason
for believing that some of these ru
mors about Langston's appointment
emanated directly from the Whit
House, and were started expressly 70
the purpose of feeling the pulse of tn
public on the subject, and that MI

The Speed of a Horse.

While the public is still marveling
over Salvatore wonderful PERFORM
ance in running a mile in 1855, there
are few who have, through compari>
son and analysis, sought to realize
what terrific burst of speed this is.
1t is nearly forty miles an hOur-a
rate averaged by very few of our
fastest railway trains. There are
$3.50 feet in a mile, so that for every
one of these ninety-five seconds--for
every beat of mans pulse-this
wonderful horse covered fifty-five
and three-tenths feet Of ground. The
shortest space of time noted by the
turfman's watch is a quarter of a Sec
ond-an interval so brief that the eye
can hardly observe, the mind can
hardly appreciate it. Yet in every
one of those $50 quarters ola second
that magnificent creature leaped six
teen and three-tenths feet. Such ale
the amazing results of careful breed
ing as exhibited in the American
race horse. Is the human race i'm
proving in the same ratio? Scarcely

What Nihilism Demands.
u. Ridel.

z. Ridel.
Freedom of speech, the liberty of
the press, the free exercise Of public
opinion, religious equality-in a
word, the voice of the people in the
Legislation OF the country instead of
the power Of an irresponsible indi-
vidual-these are the principal con-
ditions for which the Russian Mill
lists profess to fight SO strenuOusly,
and which are opposed so persistent
~ by the government of the car.
The Nihilists have killed many
officials and visited retribution on the
heads almost of all those who have
proved themselves pernicious to their
plans. They have killed one empe-
ror, and kept his majesty Alexander
III. prisoner in his own palace for
nearly three years. They have per-
vaded everywhere, and have inspired
IA sense Of insecurity and apprehen-
sion of danger in the strongest and
most comprehensive of governments,
while the car and his administration
have stopped to every contrivance to
oppose, pursue, and exterminate this
combination of "yOung boys who
have dared to raise their heads"
What results there may be in the
immediate future, or at the termina,
ton of this terrible fratricidal war,
probably M. Stepniak will be able to
predict more satisfactorily in his Sc
ries of lectures on Russian subjects.

TlNPLATE AND TARIFF.
A 10 Per Cent. Advance since the Mckinley
Act Passed.

Act Passed.
The Pittsburg Post today publishes two
interviews showing that American manu-
featured tinplate is no factor in the market
that it is not even taken into considera-
ton by the merchants. Rich American
tin mines are said to exist, but they are
undevOped.
John Dunlap, who has been importing
tinplate for fifty years, said: 81 have no
great hopes for the tinplate industry in
this country. The average advance in the
price of tinplate over the price year ago
is about 15 per cent" Although an indie
pendent republican in politics Ir. Dunlap
is opposed to the tinplate tariff, and is
perfectly satisfied to have the pate manu-
featured in England. He was enthusias-
tically in favor of the Mills bill lie has
made a fortune out of the tin business,
and is the father-in-law of the senior pro-
prietor of the COmnlercidl.Gdzette, high
tariff organ of the most pronounced type.
James b. Scott or Scott & Co.. big i'm
porters OF tinplate said: Foreign tin is
used in the manufacture of plate, and
don't think there is any American tin on
the market, at least not in any quantity.
The output of any American tinplate
plant or tin made is so insignificant that
merchants give it scarcely any attention.
Since the passage OF the Mckinley bill
the price has advanced about 10 per
cent"
One of the Demmler brothers OF the
United States iron and tinplate company,
the first of the kind in America, who quit
the business following Secretary Fessen-
denis decision several years ago, said
eve are making some tinplate .t our
mill, but not in any large quantities.
Imported tin is used, and L don't know
that there is any American block TIN on
the market. There are tin mines in
Dakota, but do not know whether they
are producing at present. We have been
told that the San Jacinto tin company of
California made its first bar of pig tin last
month. The advance in the price of tin
plate during the last year was about 10
per cent. p. II. Laufman q Co., the

DANGEROUS ROOMMATE.
Down in Texas the Deputy Marshais Have
Queer Adventures.
[Ft Worth Gazette


Deputy marshals who work in the In
dian country lead hard life. Accommo-
dations are not always to be had. Tom
Smith recently told a reporter of an adj
venture he had one night last week.
Night overlook him near an old cabin,
but as the Indian custom of burying the
dead in their houses and then moving
away flashed upon him, he decided to
sleep under tree at some little distance,
and thus avoid a possible interview with
an aboriginal spook. In the night rain
set in, and he got up and went in the
cabin and shut the door to keep out the
rain and water.
He wrapped his blanket around him
and lay down. Presently he heard a
growing and whining, but he paid no at
tention to il. The growls and whines
grew fierce and louder, but he lay quiet,
trying to go asleep. The animal ran
around the walls, scratching and yelling
in way TO make one feel very uncom-
fortab and make such a thing as sleep
impossible.
1t was panther. Finally Smith con-
Guided that the beast was not going to he
quiet and let him rest, so he got up and
opened the door and let it out. Then he
lay down and sept without further dis
turbance until morning.

INDIANA MllLlONAIRES,
The Hon. w HI. English Says There Are n
More Than a Dozen.

More Than a Dozen.
The Hon. W. II. English being asked by
a SENTINEL reporter whether he had stated,
as represented in the Chicago Herald, that
the late Abner Fl. Bowen of Delphi was the
wealthiest man in Indiana when he died,
replied that he had not, and furthermore
that he did not know anything of MIR.
Bowen or his estate. Mr.. English added
that further statement he had seen in
another paper, that Mr.. James Cheney of
Fort Wayne was worth Sl4,000,000 was,
no doubt, an enormous exaggeration, and
the same he believed was the case with
ninety-nine out of every hundred est
mates in the newspapers OF the value of
the estates OF persons supposed to be very
wealthy. His own estate had generally
been represented at from FIVE to ten times
as much as it really is, and he had seen
many estimates of the wealth of others he
was sure were equally exaggerated.
Mr.. Eng Ish says there are no great
fortunes in Indiana, me lsured by the
modern standards. He does not believe
there are a dozen millionaires in Indiana,
and doubts very much whether there is a
man in the state who is worth to exceed
$2,000,000
Speaking of wealthy Indianians, local
banker said the other dav: "The richest
man in Indiana is either John Bass of
Fort Wayne, Glenn Sludebaker OF south
Bend, or w. X. ('RileyO McKeen OF
Terre Haute. John Bass is the greatest
car-wheel manufacturer in the world. He
owns great shops in Fort Wayne, Chicago
and St. Louis, and has valuable iron
mines, coal mines and extensive rolling
mills in Alabama. A year or two ago he
was offered 8 100000 by an English syn
dictate for these properties. He is also a
very large owner OF real estate and has
several hundred thousand dollars of stock
in Fort Wayne and Chicago banks. Glenn
Studebaker is at the head of the greatest
wagon mandatory on earth. He owns a
great deal of valuable real estate in north
ern Indiana and also in Chicago. He is
also a large owner OF bank stock and rail-
way securities. His brothers are sup
posed to be nearly as wealthy as he.
Riley McKeen is as rich as cream and
my opinion is that his fortune is the
greatest in Indiana, although l should
not venture to give any figures for it. He
has been very fortunate in his opera
tons during the last two years. His
wealth consists principally of his railroad
holdings"
