Harrison and Blaine.

indianapolis Journal: As to the
presidential nomination there will be
no unfriendly contest between Presi-
dent Harrison and Mr.. Blaine on that
question, nor in the Republican party
as to their respective claims. That
one or the other will be nominated is
a foregone conclusion, and whichever
one it may be will doubtless be elected.
Both have numerous friends and
large following in the Republican party,
and the friends of each are naturally
desirous for his nomination. Neither
of them is an active candidate in the
ordinary sense The Office is too high
and both OF these men are too digni-
fed to seek it. Both are in the hands
OF their friends. Both desire the har-
mony and success OF the Republican
party, and will do nothing to disturb
the one or imperil the other. When
the preference OF the party is dis
tinctly made known one or the Other
will withdraw, and whichever one may
become it's candidate will receive the
hearty support OF the other. In al
this there is no mystery. 1t is the
relation OF two statesmen OF high
sense of honor who are far above the
petty acts of politicians and who have
a degree of confidence in each Other
that amounts to perfect understand
ing. The presidential question will b'
settled by circumstances and by th'
choice OF the Republican party, and il
will be done without any OF the fric
ton or trouble that Democratic papers
are trying to foment.

Natures Fireworks at Sea.

The steamship Panthan arrived
here recently from japanese ports
with the first cargo (93s tons) of sum-
mer tea. Capt. Roy reports having
witnessed several remarkable meteoric
showers on the Atlantic. The shoot
ing stars were OF unusual size and bril-
liancy. Nearly all OF them looked as
large as Jupiter appears to be, and at
least a dozen left in the sky bright
flashes that lasted from ten to twelve
seconds. Some few were so luminous
that they lit up the ship like electric
lights. The rain OF stars seemed to
come from the vicinity OF the Great
Bear. Its course appeared to be from
north to south and southeast.
On August l just after leaving Gib'
ralter, the Panthan ran into an cleo
trio storm, preceded by heavy squalls
The tip of every yard arm and mast

FOR THE WORLDS FAIR.
Agents In Search Of Minerals and Metals

Helena Herald: DIR. w. HI. Melville,
chemist of the United States Geolog-
ical Survey, and Prof. R. l.. Packard,
formerly professor of chemistry in the
Michigan School OF Mines, at Hough-
ton, are at the Helena. They are
special agents of the Worlds Fair
Columbian Exposition, under the di-
rection of the interior department, to
collect characteristic mineral speci-
mems in Idaho, Montana and Wash
ington. They have visited Idaho and
Butte and have secured a fine collec-
ton of minerals and are now in Helena
for the same purpose. 1t is the scien'
tific, not the intrinsic value they are
after, and these crystalized specimens
are OF little use to the miner, who gen
erally casts them aside. The object j.
to get a characteristic collection o.
Montana minerals to make list o
all the minerals to be found in tn,
state and to place complete exhibit
in the specimen buildings at Chicago
All specimens donated will be sent tC
the National Museum at Washington
and as the exposition will not opel
until 1898 the contributions iron
Montana during the interim should b
such as to insure fine display whicl
!. will be representative of her varied
. mineral deposits. These specimens Wi
be retained after the Worlds Expo
: sition as the property OF the Nationa
Museum.

UNLIKE THE ETHIOPIAN.
William Shaw Can Change His Skin. How It
is Done.

LIMA, o., Aug, 23.-One OF the most
wonderful cases OF skin grating that
has been made in the history OF the
medical science is in progress here. Up
to the present writing over 500 pieces
of flesh have been taken from human
arms and grated to the body OF VIII
liam Shaw, who was scalded at the
Standard Oil refinery on the Fourth
OF July, and for a long time was on
the verge of the grave. Careful treat
ment and gentle nursing rescued him
but left his lower limbs which had been
scalded, entirely helpless. The refn-
care and to him is mostly due the
credit for what has been accomplished.
About two weeks ago the first graft
was made. From that time until this
evening there has been SO0 gratis of
skin from the arms OF his fellow work
men In the refnary and grated on his
legs. These gratis are about three
eights of an inch in diameter and are
taken from the arms between the
elbow and the shoulder. The lifeless
skin on the scalded parts is torn away
and the gratis applied. A thin silk is
bound around the parts holding the
gratis In their places and serving to
prevent putrefaction.
Frequently the gratis fail to attach
and have to be replaced by fresh ones.
This explains why 500 of them have
already been used. This is a most eN-
traordlnary number and yet more are
expected to be used before entire re-
covery is looked for.
This morning six men, some OF them
even unacquainted with the sufferer,
came over from the refinery and had
gratis taken from their arms. Since
the grating was commenced Shaw has
steadily improved and will now un-
doubtedly recover fully.

Sugar and the Mckinley Tariff.

Tariff reform shouters i'll the last
congress went on record as opposed
to putting sugar on the free list. With
customary Inconsistency one-half their
speeches were devoted to odenunciation
OF tariff protection as a scheme to ad-
vance the price OF articles to consum
ers, while as many more werein oppo-
sition to the removal of the tariff on |
sugars for the alleged reason that con- |
sumers would not get any benefit
therefrom.
How does all this correspond with
the facts as subsequently devolved?
Has anything occurred to add luster to
the fame OF these gentlemen as politi-
cal seers, or to invite tolerance of their
further claims to dictate the economic
policy OF the country? They insisted
that prices would not come down. but
prices have been so materially reduced
that granulated sugar has been adver-
tised to retail in Chicago at three and
a half cents per pound. They further
insisted that encouragement by bounty
would not increase domestic manu-
!. facture OF sugar; but reliable statistics
Forthcoming in less than three months
after the law took effect show that the
output OF cane sugar will be augmented
as rapidly as time and money can de-
velop it, while an acreage OF western
farm lands never before approached in
extent insures for the sugar beet a
prominence in future agriculture the
Significance OF which is beyond estima-
ton.
II Another important feature OF the
sugar schedule of the Mckinley law,
for the repeal OF which the party es-
. pousing tariff reform hastens to re-
e pledge itself on every occasion, is the
l. provisional clause for reciprocity oi
. trade with foreign nations. Under
pressure OF the power thus placed IN
L the hands of the national executive,
L barriers against the admission OF prod
o ucts OF this country to South Amerl'
! can and West Indian markets have al
! ready been lowered, while negotiations
Il now well advanced promise at al
=. early day to give American hog prod
:, nets free access to the markets OF Ger
\. many and France along the beet sugal
- route.
- These are some OF the facts that free
n. trade attorneys find it convenient t'
/. ignore while drumming Tor recruits 10
NJ a general crusade against the existln
of tariff law. They have no words o
,e lcongratulation over the probabilit.
in that some proportion OF the more thai
O. $4,000, 900 last year paid to foreign

Blaine Can Have the Nomination by Simply

adopted by Blaine is brand new.
