LATER NEWS.
Mrs. Harrison is Dead.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct. 25.-A Presi-
dents wife lies dead in Washington.
Calmly and peacefully as a little
child sinks to sleep in its mothers arms
Mrs. Harrison went to her eternal rest.
The devoted family early yesterday
were made aware that death would
come in a very few hours. They wait
ed in silent anguish until 1:40 this
morning, when the eyes of the sufferer
were closed forever. The deathbed
scene was typical of the life of the
President and Mrs. Harrison. 1t was
serene and holy.
Mrs. Harrison was un onscious most
of the day She spoke TO the president
in affectionate terms at noon and con-
tinued to recognize members of the
family at intervals until between and
, o'clock yesterday afternoon. From
that tiE.e she was unconscious.
President Harrison, though almost
worn out with incesss. & watching, bore
himself manfully. His grief was too
deep to easily find expression, and he
was silent The son and daughter
were also present, and while their sOr-
row was at times uncomfortable, they
showed resignation to the inevitable.
Mrs. Harrison had known for several
months that her condition was hope
less. She met death with a true Chris
tian spirit, and so far as her strength
would permit gave encouraging admo-
nitions to her devoted family up to yes
terday noon.
| All of the family in Washington were
present at the death bed except the
three little grandchildren and the ven
cradle DIR. Scott, the father of Mrs
Harrison. They were: President Har-
rison, Mr.. and Mrs. Mckee, Mr.oand
Mrs. Russell Harrison, Lieut.. and Mrs.
Parker, Mrs. Dimmick and Mrs. New
conner. In addition Mrs. Harrison's
faithful maid Josephine ami Miss Davis,
the trained nurse, were n the room.
The memb, rs of the family spent few
minutes around the lifeless clay and let
a veil be drawn over their deep grief.
Mrs. Harrison was by birth western
woman. Her father, John w. Scott,
y as many years ago a teacher in Miami
university at Oxford, o., and it was
here that the wife of the president was
born. She was named Caroline-Carrie
for short and when she grew up was
sent Il -lool in the girls college of the
town. 1t was while at school at Ok
ford that Caroline Scott met BENJAMIN
Harrison. She fell in love with the
quiet, modest. studious youth, and her
love was fally reciprocated. Before
sither was 81 they had married.

Even the most ardent democrat this
year has not counted on a plurality
greater than 70, 900 or 1000 out of a
total vote which viii reach nearly
/, 500, 900. With Tammany either luke
warm or hostile the democracy is
doomed, as the friends of the national
ticket are aware, yet by eecklessness
and perversity which is marvellous and
unaccountable the inner circle of the
candidates supporters are bringing
about this very state of things. Tam
many has again been assaulted in the
house of it's supposed friends, and the
old fractional strife is renewed. There
is possibility, to be sure. that truce
may be patched up and thai ope.
hostility of the wigwam to tie ticket
may be averted, but the probabilities
do not point that way. The situation
of the democracy in the decisive state
must cause the most serious apprehen-
sion to Mr.. Cleveland. If he loses the
vote of New York his defeat is inevita-
BILE and overwhelming, and in the pres
ent situation he can hardly resist the
conclusion that for this year at least
the state is irrevocably lost tohis party.

AWKWARD FACTS.
Knoek-Down Argument for CaIsmft
Free Traders.


Free Traders.
Facts are daily fighting the battles of
the republican party. 1t seems. indeed,
as If every argument of the enemies of
the fiscal system now in force was met
and overcome by a turn in even 5 of
such general publicity that it cannot
be denied or gainsaiL Last year the
excess of exports over imports was
enormous. ana almost unprecedented.
Then the free traders proclaimed in
chorus that such a balance of trade
was not sign of national prosperity,
as plain people had supposed, but a
proof of heavy foreign indebtedness
and a serious drain upon our resources.
They pointed with pride to England as
country which was growing rich
under constantly increasing and very
great excess of imports every year. and
the assertion was made that if the
American people were really prosper
Gus they would buy more freely
abroad
This year our imports have been
enormous, and at present the balance
of trade is running against the United
States. The people of this country are
buying foreign merchandise ct a rate
which, on the free traders theory ad.
vaueed so earnestly last year. would
prove very great and general prospect.
". The nation seems able to pay for
more than 1T sells abroad. and is H. Z
fair way to become quite English in
this respect, and yet the mugwumpS

Somehow facts will not come to suit
their needs

TAMMAnY IN REVOLT.
fhe Situation In New York Looks BIu,
for CLEVELAND


1t is no longer possible for the demo-
Gratis to conceal the fact that Tammany
has revolted a.-aiust Cleveland. There
is no formal pretense any more of har-
mony between that faction and the re-
mainder of the party in New York.
Apparently the blame for this condi-
ton lies primarily with the professed
and active supporters of Cleveland.
The element of the party which has
been known as the county democracy,
aud which is led by ex- Mayor Grace.
has been making secret war on Tam
many ever since the Chicago conven-
ton, although Grace, two or three
months ago. according to the statement
of the magnates of the wigwam, prom
ised that there should be a ''let-up'' in
this strife, "A pledge which appears to
have never been observed by his fol-
levers. The active and demonstrative
section of the counties" or the anti
snappers, continue the crusade, the in
tention being TO injure Tammany in
the municipal election, and destroy its
pull in the city government. Natu-
rally enough, the wigwam resents this
duplicity and takes the readiest and
most effective means at hand to protect
itself. 1t closes up its lines. directs its
batteries at the anti-snappers, and
stands ready to defend itself from all
assaults, whether secret or open. In
doing this, of course, Tammany has to
abandon Cleveland, and he is thus cut
off from an element whose support fur
nishes him with his only chance of car
rying New York.
Under such circumstances i will be
seen that the peril Of the democracy in
New York is indeed grave. Without
the utmost harmony in the party ranks
it can by no possibility secure the cleo
toral vote of that state. In presiden-
tial years the state is notably close,
whichever side carries it, Harrison's
lead in it in 1888 being only $4,000 and
Cleveland's in 1884 being but LOAF.

Amor That Momence KOCH AGAIN.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 2O.-The
commissioners appointed to supervise
the removal of the Momence rock have
advertised for bids from contractors
for the carrying out of the work. Bids
will be opened in Chicago to-day. OF tho
original appropriation of $4,000 for this
purpose, about S35. 900 remains unex-
pended. 1t is estimated that the actual
cost of the removal of the rock will be
nearly SlOU 900, and it is expected that
the cost in excess OF the appropriation
will be paid by the men who own
large tracts of land in the kankakee
valley, as they will be greatly bene-
fitted by the improvements.
