The Business View of the Cam

Il has been demonstrated that the ooun-
try distrusis the forces behind the Demo-
cratic candidate. Personally the country

dent Personally, and also as an able exec
uive, the Republican candidate has won
tie confidence Of the people 10 greater de-
gree than it was possessed by Grover CIeve-
land and General Harrison has the tre-
mendous additional advantage, with the
business interests Of al sections, and the
pIriy behind him, that he IS trus. v orthy on
al subjects Of finance and commerce. with a
general policy understood. Even many
business Democrats will regret the possibili-
ty Of change and to prevent il viii vote
Tor Harrison. Ny experience is that there
Is no sentiment in business, and very little
IN poiilcs- This being time Of peace the
people look to and viii favor the party that
will best advance the business interests Of
the people The purpose of Cleveland and
his party IS 70 break down protection, and
plunge the country into the doubt and IN
eertsiniies, not to say tremendous disasters
that would follow such a change. Change
Is always fraaght with danger. and that is
one reason why the Independent business
men Of the country are for General Harri-
son.

Son shoots Father and Son.

CARMIcHAELs. Pa, Aug. 12.-Thomas
Morgan, well known young man Of this
place, fatally shot his father and sister yes
terday ofternOon.
The trouble leading up to the deplorable
affair was opposition to the prospective mar
rage Of John Morgan-the father.
Yesterday young Morgan protested with
his father against the marriage, but the lat
ter was obdurate. This incensed the son,
who drew a revolver and fired, but instead
of hitting his father he shot his sister Callie.
The ball took effect in the lungs, inaicting
aprobably fatal wound
The father then fed, but the young man
followed him to a vacant house, where he
shot him six times.
Young Morgan has not yet been arrested,
having shut himself up in his fathers house
His friends fear that be may kill himself

TIE Democrats PrOfessed great jubila-
ion over the elections Of 1890 and claim
ed that It was condemnation by tie
opie Of the Mckinley Law. Yet they
are trying to obscure the tariff issue and
10 bring forward the purely local issues
IN the States in which they elected the
Congress Two years ago. This is a con
fession OF weakness. Local issues can cut
no figure in Presidential year, and the
people cannot be blinded on the tariff
