WE see no reason why certain Re.
publicans should he made the targets
of abuse and be villified simply be-
cause they expressed preference in
the matter of choice for the Republi-
can Presidential nomination. If there
were no differences of opinion, con-
ventions for the purpose Of nominat-
ing candidates would be unnecessary.
If the fellow who got left, accepts
the decree Of the convention with
grace and shouts for the nominees, we
see nc reason why the other fellow
should feel hurt.-AShland Local.

FoR WAR ON The SEAS.

A BIGGER gun than any yet built (11s
tons) has been sent to Sebastopol for
use on a warship.
BBITIsH naval expenditures for this
year were fixed at S75,oOo,0 900, an In
crease of 1926, 900 over last year.
THE German navy is to be increased
by thirteen new vessels, including four
of the largest ironclads and torpedo
boat fotilla.
THE officers and sailors of the navy
get s7,5OO, 900 and the officers and sol
diers of the army s1O,oOO,OOO. Uncle
Sam spends $3.50, 900 for horses for his
cavalry and artillery and pays his re-
tired army officers a million and half
of good round dollars.

NO NEUTRAL GROUND.

The Hazleton Sentinel says the
Republicans of Pennsylvania are now
for Mr.. Harrison. They realize that
he is the choice, and the honorable
choice, of the convention. There
must be no obstacles thrown in the
way of his securing big majority in
the state of Pennsylvania. If there
be any party wreckers they will only
cut their own throats for any
treachery to the President will be
resented by the Republicans. The
Philadelphia papers stirring up strife
on both sides of our political family
.hould be taught lesson ard the
lesson should be the bitter and often
taught one that the party is superior
to the men to whom they wish to
make it subordinate.
The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1892-06-21

OUR Democratic friends and their
mugwump assistants may as well
make up their minds that Platt,
Clarkson, Quay and others, who OPP
pcsed Harrison's nomination, are 'tin
it' in this campaign and will assist in
winning another glorious victory for
the Grand Old Party. Mr.. Harrison
has too much horse sense to do with
out the help of these most successful
and shrewdest political leaders. The
Republican party is a unit this year
and better work will be done in its
ranks than there was in 1888.

IRELAND AT THE FAIR.

Among Nations.

Among Nations.
The countess of Aberdeen, who re-
Gently visited the leading American
cities in the interest of an Irish exhibit
at the Columbian exposition, has writ
ten Gen. p. A. Collins, of Boston, stat
ing that she was delighted with the
heartiness with which the work had
been taken up. After thanking Ameri-
can friends for their cooperation the
countess of Aberdeen says:
"We are determined that you shall
not be ashamed Of the practical support
you are giving us, but that the Irish
and their friends in America shall feel
a glow of pride when they see the pro-
ductions of peasant hands in the old
country in their great metropolis of the
west. The intimate relationship which
has existed between America and Ire
/ land makes it essential that ireland and
her work as it really Is should be prop
erly and efficiently represented In this
unique exposition, and we shall
keep this object mainly in view
rather than any object of intro
| ducing Irish manufactures 10 any
large extent into the United States.
We are fully aware that there are
difficulties in the way of this latter
object, but we believe that not only
the Irish In America but the people OF
the United States generally viii glad
ly welcome the opportunity of giving
ireland chance of showing what she
can do and how proud a place she can
claim among the nations of the earth
by reason of the cleverness and deftness
of her peoples fingers"

l tees.

ing recognized by his associates, he sue
cessfully conducted the conservatory
orchestra, rendering his own compost
tons. In 1872 he went to Bayreuth and
participated in the musical ceremonies
attending the laying of the corner stone
of Wagner's theater. From this visit
dates his personal acquaintance with
Richard Wagner. In Vienna. as mem
Der Of the Imperial royal orchestra, he
for time played first violin. In 1878
he became conductor of the opera house
at Leipsic. Here he made the acquaint-
ance of Able T. List, and ever after
enjoyed the friendship of the great mas
ter. He conducted the great musical
festivals of the Allegemeiner deutscher
Musilzverein in Magdeburg IN 1881, and
in Leipsic in 1883. While conducting
different concerts he was the recipient
of several decorations from several Eu-
ropean sovereigns. One of his greatest
successes was a remarkable perform
ance Of Beethoven's ninth symphony
with a chorus Of five hundred. He was
after this success elected o member Of
the directorium OF the Angemeirer
deutscher Musikverein and an honorary
member Of several musical corporations
in Germany, notably the List Verein.
From LeiPsic he came directly TO Bos-
ton, where his success has justified the
reputation established abroad

Heat. Gas and Bookbindings

''Low book Shelves" said furniture

to a New York Chimes" writer, "have ar
origin in reason besides the caprice of
fashion. Heat is injurious to the bind
ing of choice books, drying out the nat
ural oil of the leather and making them
warp and get out of shape. Most rooms
are very warm In the upper parts, and
these five and six-foot bookcases are a
necessity rather than a notion.
''Cold is as hard on books as overhead

or too dry also Injuries them. The sun
pouring in directly on the shelves fades

can open fire is another necessity in a
library; books require good air, like a
human being, and gas ought never to be
used where valuable books are kept.
Candles are hard on the eyes, though,
and therefore should be avoided: oil or
electricity are all better than gas, which
acts as readily on binding as it does on
silver In lieu of furnishing, however,

performance is attracting attention ev-
erywhere. His record was 2,617 miles
in 81 days, and it is remarkable in two

second, as illustrating the excess TO
which cycling can be carried. A mere
