NOT AN Authority.

The New York Sun anticipates its own
frame of mind next year so far as to in
sist that it will be found supporting
the nominees of the Democratic national
convention. 1t, however, asserts that
Mr.. CLEVELAND will not be in it. In
case of his nomination, whatever the
nominal position of the DANA organ, it
will use its influence. such as it may be,
for his defeat. 1t has been in the habit
of knitting Democratic candidates. Its
stiletto was used on HANCOCK in 1880.
Four years later it swung out into the
BUTLER waters, and fancied that it was
lashing them into big waves. Its con-
slant prediction was that BUTLER
would poll more votes in the city of
New York than CLEVELAND. The vOt-
els unkindly made the figures in the pro-
portion of 3,4OO to 133, 900. In 1888 the
Sun perhaps had more damaging inhu-
ence on account of its nominal support
of the ticket. Its present effort is to
have a dozen or more states present a
local favorite to prevent their going to
CLEVELAND. There is no reason why
PENNSYLVANIA, Ohio, Iowa, Illinois and
the other states should not compliment
any citizen of the several states they
deem worthy of the honor or fittOr pres
ident, but when it is the dictate of hos
tility to Mr.. CLEVELAND or any other
man of national strength, it will hardly
promote the end sought. 1t may be

AS A PROPHET.

CHAUNCEY DEPEW falls into the
prophetic role over in England, and
tells the papers that the candidates for
president next year are to be HARRISON
and CLEVELAND with the MCKINLEY
tariff as the main issue. CHAUNCEY is
credited as a sagacious politician and as
likely as any one, perhaps, to give safe
tips on political races. There IS moth
ing repellant to the average Democratic
mind in that view. Some, perhaps a
good many, will prefer another man
for the Democratic candidate, and there
are those among the Republicans who
really look to Mr.. BLAINE as their
man for the candidacy. Mr.. DE?Ew
is apparently not one or these. He
is a personal friend and adj
mirer of Mr.. BLAINE, but does
not believe he has the physical strength
to weather the trying ordeal. Two presi-
dents broke down soon after their in
auguration. The campaign killed HOR-
ACE GREELEY, and, as arule, those who
make the race have not survived long.
DEPEw knows the real condition of Mr..
BLAINE physically, and does not look
upon him as a presidential possibility.
1t is of more interest to the Democrats
to have tariff reform the central and
overshadowing issue than it is to have
this or that man in the field on either
side. HARRISON or MCKINLEY would
most distinctly represent the Republl-
can side of the question. On the pres
ont data DEPFW may be accented as a
fair political prophet.

TAKING A SNOOZE.

while I nodded, nearly mapping"
THE Raven"
The drowsy hum of the murmuring bees,
lowering over the lavender trees,
Steals through half-shut lattiees,
As. awake or asleep scarce know which,
| lazily lOll near window niche
Whose gossamer curtains are softly stirred
By the gauzy wings of humminS bird.
From airy heights the feathery down
Blown from the nettle's noddlng crown,
Weary with wandering everywhere,
Sails slowly to earth through the sultry air;
While indolent zephyrs, oppressed with
perfume"
Stolen from many balmy bloom,
Are failing asleep within the room.
Now floating afar, now lowering near,
Dull to the eye and dumb 10 the ear,
Grow the shapes that see, the sounds that
hear;
Every murmur around dies into my dream,
Save only the song of sylvan stream.
Whose burden, set 10 somnolent tune,
Has lulled the whispering leaves OF June.
All things are hay, and dreamy, and dimi
The flies in lazier circles swim:
On slumberous wings, on muthed Feet
Imaginary sounds retreat;
And the clouds-Elysian isles that lie
In the bright blue sea of summer sky
Fade out before my closing eye.

ELGIN. H., July 30.-A horrible
crime, for which the author will not
suffer, occurred at the Northern Illinois
asylum for the insane in this city to-
day. The fireman. George Lindsay, had
for helper John Anderson, a
quiet patient. While they were in
the coat house, no others be-
ing present, the lunatic, posse
sed with sudden madness, attacked
Lindsay with a heavy hammer. An
derson was caught in the act of thrust
ing the unconscious and dying man into
the furnace fire. Anderson's mania is
of religious nature, and in the six
years since he came from Rockford he
had never shown homicidal tendencies.
The coroner's verdict holds nobody to
blame.

WILLIAM r. MERRIAM.

WILLIAM II. MERRIAM is out of town,
partly for rest, it is said, partly for rec
reation and partly for business. All
three of these things take him to Ohio,
and there he will meet other leaders of
his party assembled by chance and de-
sign to take council on the condition of
the state, and the prospects and meth
DDS of the campaign. 1t will be a novel
experience and rare opportunity for
him. and the GLOBE predicts that he
will inject himself with vigOr
and defniteness into this broader
field on which he thus makes his
first appearance. None except those on
the inner circle know the secret ambi-
tons which he cherishes, but if it be
true that he wants to be president of
the United States, it is right for him to
mingle a little with Republican chief
tains from distant commonwealth to
hear and see them and to allow himself
to be seen and heard.
Nothing could help Mr.. MERRIAM's
progress so materially as Democratic
victory in Minnesota at the next cleo
ton, provided he really proposes
to embark on national politics.
AS long as this state is known
as a Republican stronghold, the claims
of not even its most favored son will re-
ceiye much attention if presented be-
fore a nominating convention. But once
get the state in the Democratic column
in a single fair contest and it becomes
doubtful ground the DrpfprnnceS of
which are consulted and yielded tC
when slatemaking is in order. Such an
outcome would give the last Republican
victor in Minnesota great prestige be-
fore the world. Should it be in the
coming election that the Democracy
prevailed, WILLIAM r. MERRIAM would
have been the last Republican victor il
Minnesota, and he would reap all the
glory incidental to the position.

A MAYNARD BEAUTY.
Tragic Ending of a Daughter OF

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, July 3O.-The
body of Nan Porter, daughter of
S. S. Porter, wealthy contractor
of Hall City, arrived here from
Knoxville Monday morning, accom-
panied by death certificate signed by
the secretary of the Knoxville board
of health. stating that she had died of
morphine poisoning. In preparing the
body for burial two pistol shot wounds
were found in the abdomen, while fur

claimed to be her husband, accompanied
the body, but he would not stay for the
funeral. Mr.. Porter says he is willing
to spend his entire fortune to find the
murderer.

perience, ability. high character, pecun-
larry honesty aud unSelfSh patriotism.
But what can be said of the Sage's
chances now that he has CARTER HAIR
RIsoN also to buck against?
CARTER HARRISON has not as much
money as STANFORD, but still he has
money, and more money, too, than
D0NNELLY will have even after he has
won his one hundred thousand dollar
libel suit. In addition he has much eX-

may be more numerous than HARRI-
SONS. HARRISON has to Offset this a
trip around the world, and the prestige
which comes from having been mayor
of Chicago.
There is hO doubt that HARRISON is a
candidate if any reliance is to be placed
on his spoken utteranceS and the GLOBE
interpretS them Alright. Here is what
he said in political speech before the
farmers of South Haven. Mich, on
Wednesday last:
III be anything the people want me to be.
If they ask me TO be president, III say l am
not worthy If they say am, like a modest
man l will tell them they know better than

The only trouble with this is that it is
so plain that perhaps it has some hid
den significance which only the i'll
itiated can grasp. The GLOBE is quite
sure that the late Alliance leader, Mr..
ERWIN. would never have expressed
himself in this way were he ANNOUNCE
ing his willingness to accept Office. But
granting he means what he says, CAR

Brutal Assassination of Penn
sylvania Man.
PITTSBURG, July 30.-A most coward
ly and brutal murder was committed
some time last night just outside OF
Suffolk, this state, town on the Nor
folk & Western railroad, the victim be-
ing John Fppest, manager of the West
ern Union Telegraph Office at that
place, whose body was found this morn
ing where he was shot. The murderer
who fired the fatal shot was concealed in
a cluster of bushes, but who the guilty
party was is not known. Two negro
women have been arrested on suspicion
of being implicated in the murder. The
murdered man was about twenty-five
years of age and quite handsome. He
was very popular, and it was not known
that he had an enemy in the world.
There is great excitement at Suffolk
over the murder, but little else being
talked of. If the murderer is caught
he will be Summarily dealt with.
