Where candidates were nominated the year

To the average republican throughout the

in having an organ mot mouth-organ)

accepting subsidy. or going counter 10 the
will Of the party, who are always welcome
TO express their ideas in lis generous eol-

Reciprocity.
WARD.

The newest and most popular idea of
political economy. indeed one of the rarest
conceptions Of modern craftsmanship is re-
ciprocity-mutual. reciprocal interchange.
This is so interviewer with. and dependent
upon protection. that il could not exist With
out it. Protection, reciprocity-by this sign
we shall conquer.
But have been thinking this cardinal prin-
ciple of our party ought to have deeper
significance. wider application than in its
relation to goods and chattels. The time is
at hand when this principle shall be applied
to questions OF moral. as well as Of material
interest
have been led to these reflections by
reading in all the papers Of the wonderful
cures Of alcoholism by the Kelley remedy.
the bi-chloride of gold cure. 1t is one Of
The wonders Of this marvellous age. Neal
Dow, approaching a century of life, may
look back with pride and pleasure al the
result Of long and active life, devoted to
the interest Of temperance. Maine may
boast and with reason, Of her legal prohibi-
ton, but al these will be consigned 10 the
relicts Of a past are when compared with
the hypodermic syringe and tiny particle of
double chloride Of gold injected under the
skin. This remedy has passed beyond the
period of experiment. There Is not shadow
OF doubt but il will do what il claims.

reference TO bis moral nature. il does il by

all this TO do with reciprocity? This: Make

MRS. HARRis0N's FUNERAL
At Washington Was Simple but Of Profound
and impressive Character.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2f--Ihe funeral ser
vices over the remains of Mrs. Harrison
took place at the White House this morn
| ing. They were profound impressive and
of a simple character. Except sable
rosette of Grape at the door there were no
signs OF mourning about the mansion.
Police guards were stationed at the gates
to keep order among the several thousands
OF people who gathered on the sidew alks
bordering the northern lawn.
The casket was resting ON two pedestals
near the center Of the east room and was
covered with beautiful flowers, hile large
number of handsome palms were stationed
throughout the room. At 10 O'Clock all the
seats in the east room had been occupied
and many persons were standing in adjoin-
ing rooms and corridors.
As bell in the hall struck the hour of
10, the honorary pail bearers entered; the
members of the afflicted household fol-
lowed soon afterward, the President escort
ing Mrs Mckee, his only daughter. Rev.
Or. liamlin then advanced and in low
voice repeated "A few passages from the
Scriptures. and closen with the Lords
PRAYER, which was repeated with him by
almost every person in the room.
Rev DR.. Bartlett of the New York Ave
nue. Presbyterian church, who was former
" Mrs. Harrisons pastor in indianapolis,
took up the scriptures and read number
of passages At his conclusion the boys of
the choir of ST. Johns Episcopal church
dress in white robes, who were stationed
in the green room which opened into the
east room chanted the hymn. Il heard the
Voice of Jesus Say"
During the singing a cloud which had
shrouded the sun rolled away and food
of light filed the room with a tender rafli-
ance. Let Us pray" said DR.. HaElin.
and all heads were bowed as the pastor in
voked the Divine blessing. Again the
choir was heard, this time singing Cardinal
Newman's hymn, Lead. Kindly Light"
Floral tributes were removed from the
casket and il was borne by the active pail
bearers and White House attendants across
the broad portico and placed in the hearse,
an immense throng of people on Pennsyi-
vania avenue, opposite the mansion, stand
ing meanwhile with uncovered heads.
There was but little delay and imme
diately a long procession of carriages was
moving on the way to the station. Nearly
all business houses had placed the
national colors at half-mast and along
the route people crowded the sidewalks and
stood in respectful silence, All traffic was
stopped and a pail seemed to have fallen
upon the people as they watched the sad
procession 90 by.
Large crowds gathered at the depot, but
it was an orderly assemblage, with an
entire absence Of pushing or undue
curiosity on the part of any one. The
remains were placed ON board the
car Elroy The wreathes and floral offer
ings which covered the casket in the East
room were again laid upon the case, com
ple.eiy burying it from sight.
The other cars that were to pake up the
special train for indianapolis were quietly
attached and at / 40 the President and his
sorrowing party began their journey west
