AZ the Philadelphia Times SAYS,
the attitude of ex-Judge Cooley,
one Of the most distinguished OF
American jurists, toward the Re-
publican party, which he has
hitherto supported, is particularly
significant ut this time. he has
authorized one of the professors OF
the University of Michigan to say
"that he does not believe in the
Mckinley bill, and that he expect,
to vote for Mr.. Cleveland !" but
"more than this he does not desire
to have said and he is entirely un,
willing to publish a letter, or to
take any part in the campaign "
Even this much was only drawn
from Judge Cooley by questions
ing, his public position giving i'm
portance to bis political views.
How many other former Republi-
cans there are in Michigan and
the Northwest and throughout the
country who "do not believe in
the Mckinley bill and expect to
vote for Cleveland" we shall not
find out until election day. But
evidently they are very numer-

The President is averse to giviny
the mesa. ges of coincidence before
the public, and if they are furnished
to the press at all it will be with
great reluctance on his part. He
has so far permitted only these two

A Big Strike.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct.25.-A general
strike of warehousmen, packers and
drivers was inaugurated yesterday,
and all the wholesale houses are af-
fected. The strike is due to the re-
fusal of merchants to sign the tariff
presented by Unions acting
under the auspices of the American
Confederation of Labor. The chief
difference is the contention on the
part of the Unions that Union men,
bers shall be employed. The mer-
chants hold that they have the right
to employ whomsoever they please,
and want competent and reliable
men, irrespective of their member
ship in the Union. The merchants
have issued an invitation to the
strikers, a individuals, to appear at

If MONEY CAN BUY 1T.

The Republicans are not trying
to conceal their purpose to buy
New York at the coming election
if money can buy it.
1t will be remembered that the
dispatches last week gave some &C.
count of the big collections made
at Pittsburg for the Republican
campaign fund. Names and
amounts in many CAGES were given,
although it was not pretended that
anything like a complete list Of
subscriptions had been or could be
obtained for publication.
The Pittsburg Dispatch, the
leading Republican paper of the
city, not only frankly confirm.
those dispatches, but says that the
"goodly sum" already collected
will be swelled by a round mil
lion of good crisp dollars. which
can be used to great advantage
during the latter days of the CAM
paign, and especially on the last
day" election day..
"This big sum-, the Dispatch
is candid and bold enough to ex-
plain, sis the donation of the pro-
tected manufacturers. 1t will be
expended in New York in an at
tempt to carry the State for Har-
rison ,"
As the Louisville Gowraer.Jowr
nal says, there is no doubt that
the men for whose enrichment the
people are taxed through the tariff
will contribute enough money to
buy, if that be possible, the sue
cess of the party pledged to main.
tain the tariff. The bargain be.
tween these men and the Repub-
lican party is that they VI to fur
nish the necessary funds, in return
for which they are allowed to
write the tariff schedules of the
country. It is a bargain which hal
thus far been faithfully observed
by both sides. The protected
manufacturers and trusts, in
making their scales of prices, fl
them SO as to cover this item Of
expense, Their workmen and the
consumers being made to thus pay
the cost of maintaining the system
by which they are robbed.

Terrible Accident.

ST. PAUL, MINI, Oct. 25.-A
special to the Ptoneer-Press from
Spokane, Washington, says An
appalling accident occurred on the
construction line Of the Great North
ern yesterday, resulting in the, death
of seven men and the fatally injur-
ing of five more, and seriously in
juring of six others. The track
laying GREY had finished work up to
Winachee river, and yesterday morn
ing started to lay rails across that
stream. The east approach and the
first span were crossed safely. When
in the middle of the second span the
false work und er the bridge elo-
lapsed, and track machine, together
with the two carloads of ties and
three carloads of rails, went into the
river, sixty feet below. The men
were thrown in every direction and
some were buried under the cars and
rails, with the above result. Many
of the injured cannot live.

MINISTRY OF WOMAN.

How beautiful the ministry
Of woman's gentle hand!
How soft loves attributes, that spring
At her divine command!
For veal or woe, for good or i'll,
About mans careless life
She weaves the blossoms of her heart,
As mother, maid or wife!
She leads his feet up from the pit!
She bids his spirit ri e!
Sometimes by her superior viii,
Sometimes by pleading eyes!
Or else she lures him from the heights
To darkest depths below!
From peace End joy and love and
heaven
To bitterness and woe!
Oil woman! Lovely womankind1
BE careful how you play
The role of queen, in this your realm,
To him whom you may sway!

The First Lady of the Land Free from
Earth's Sorrows,

WASHINGTON, Oct. pa guard
of special officers were detailed im-
mediately on the death of Mrs.
Harrison to prevent the entrance
of intruders into the White House
or it's grounds, which was main
tanned this morning, and no one
was admitted without some special
reason. At an early hour under
taker Spears was sent for, and
Robert A. Parks, Southeastern
passenger agent, Of the Pennsyls
vania railroad, was also summoned
to await information of the wishesof
President and his family in regard
to the transportation of the dead,
and the funeral party to Indians
apolis.
The funeral services in Washing-
ton will not be held early We'd
nesday morning, as intended last
night, but will take place Thurs
day morning. 1t is the especial
wish OF the family that the services
shall be as private as possible. The
funeral will be a personal and not
a public one. As far as the official
position of the President will posi-
bly, permit, the service will be the
same as that customary in the case
ola private family.
Invitations will be strictly limit,
ed in number, and no person will
be allowed to be present without
them. The funeral services will
undoubtedly be held in the East
Room. This is the largest room in
the building, and in fact the only
one at all adapted to the holding of
services, even as private as those
which the family desire. They will
be conducted according to the
Presbyterian forms, by Rev. DR..
Hamlin, pastor of the Church of
the Covenant, on Connecticut ave.
nue., of which the President and
Mrs. Harrison have been regular
attendants.
The body will not lie in state.
After the services here the funs
eral party will leave Washington
Thursday at noon, or soon there,
after. for Indianapolis, where SER
vices of a more public character
will be held. It is probable that
the funeral train will reach Indian.
apolis early Friday morning, and
at about 10 O'Clock the church ser,
vices will begin. They will take
place in the First Presbyterian
Church of Indianapolis. The Rev.
DIR. M. L. Haines, pastor of that
church, will oficiate. The body
will then be taken to Crown Hill
Cemetery and inferred, after which
the President will return to Wash.

A Party without Principles.

The Republican party has no
principles. It is simply in the
field for Mr. Flannagan's pro-
gramme-to get the offices. In
furtherance of it's desire to hold
on to power, "there is no creed
that it will not profess, no opinion
that it will not Promulgate."
There are those no doubt, who
believe that the Republican party
has always been the consistent adj
yocate of what is called ''protec-
ton" Nothing could be farther
rom the truth. The lowest tariff
bill which we have had since 1915,
that of 1857, was passed by a
House in which Republican infu-
ence was dominant. Many of the
leading Republicans of twenty
years ago were members OF the
Golden Club, Of these some have
modified their views to suit the
present demands of their party,
while many othersare doingvaliant
service for the Democrats.
The Republican party of to-day,
however, is said to be solid for
"protection". So far as the mere
name is concerned, this may be
true. But what do they mean by
"protection9" Originally it meant
such an arrangement of tariff duties
as would guarantee to the Ameri-
can manufacturer higher prices for
his wares than he could obtain
under free trade, or under a tariff
for revenue. The avowed object
of the Mckinley bill was to keep
up prices-to save the country from
the influx of cheap goods. The
elections of 1890 showed that the
people Of the country had no pref
udice against cheapnees-that, in
point of fact, they rather liked to
buy their supplies at as low a rate
as possible. Thereupon, the Res
publican party experienced a
change of heart. Its representa-
tives now say that "protection" is
not meant to make them cheap.
They retract everything that was
said in favor of the Mckinley bill
when it was under consideration in
Congress, and say now that its
purpose is precisely the reverse of
that avowed two years ago. In
stead of a device to make things
dear, they now say it is the best
possible expedient for making COM
modities cheap. There could be
no more complete demonstration
than this of the party's utter lack
of principle.
AS to other matters the party ia
equally at wal with itself. After
advocating the Force bill in every
way that a party can advocate a
measure-in it's platform, in the
messages OF the President, in Cons
gress, in the press-it now affects
to sneer at it az a scare, q bug-bear.
AS to the silver it's position is
equally uncertain. In the West
it is held up as the friend of free
silver; in the East it is heralded as
the only friend of .honest money!.
And 80 it goes all along the
line. It is for anything and every
ting by which it hopes to gain a
vote, but it is the consistent advoe
cate OF no policy.
The Republican party has no
principles. It stands simply for
hypocritical p~retence and dishon-
est government. The interest Of
the people demands that it shall
be destroyed.-Lowisvi2le Courier
Journal.

DEATH OF Mr., E. ESSENTIAL.

Our community was startled and
inexpressibly panied yesterday morn
ing to learn of the death of Mr..
Emil Rosenthal, which occurred sud-
denly, of heart disease, at his home
in this city Friday night, about
11:3O o'clock.
Mr.. and Ms. Rosenthal had re-
turned from New York that after
noon, where they had been to visit
their youngest son Albert and other
relatives for ten days, and that even
ing, after attending service at the
Synagogue, they had taken supper
with their daughter Mrs. Henry We'll,
returning to their home at bed time,
Mr.. Rosenthal retiring, in his wonted
good health, while Mrs. Rosenthal
remained chatting for an hour with
their son Joe in the sitting room.
When Mrs. Rosenthal went to Eer
room she found Mr.. Rosenthal
asleep, but he awoke when she entered
and stated that he had had a most
refreshing slumber and Immediately
dropped off to sleep again; but soon
he awoke a second time, saying that
he had u most peculiar feeling in his
chest. Mrs. Rosenthal Immediately
wished to send for a doctor, but he
said it was not worth while, that he
hoped it would soon pass off, and
getting out of bed he walked for a
moment or two about the room and
then sat in an easy chair. Mrs.
Rosenthal, becoming alarmed at his
appearance, called their son Joe from
his room, who came at once ; but his
father had passed away without a
struggle.
Mr.. Rosenthal was 80 years of
age and was a member of the firm of
II. We'll & Bros. He was man of
deeply religious sentiments, unosten-
tatious piety and broadcast philan-
th1opy,and we knew of no man III our
community whose death would
close more private channels Of
charity than will his. The out
stretched palm IF pleading poverty
never returned empty when held out
to him, and from many hearts in our
community, who in their humble
walks were the recipients of his
kindly bounty, will go up this morn
ing a prayer for his welfare and a
blessing on his memory, while we
all extend our ~sincerest coincidence to
his bereaved and sorrowing family
and mourn him as a good man gone
out forever from among us unto his
eternal reward.
His remains we're taken to Balti-
more on the early train this morning
for interment in the family burying
ground in that city.
