PRESIDENT HARRISON.
A Non-Partisan Tribute to His
Splendid Qualities.

Splendid Qualities.
From the Independent, (Religious Weekly
Benjamin Harrison has now beer
president for nearly three years, an6
while it is too soon to pronounce judg
n1ent upon bus administratiou-which
however, is universally regarded as ar
able one-it is not too soon to form ar
estimate of his personal character as OK.
hibited in his public action.
There is, perhaps, no position in the
world in which mans character is
tested as it is in that of the president
of this great republic. The labors oil
the Office are very severe, the trials and
perple1ities unlimited, the pitfalls count
less, and the temptations many and
strong. He is subjected to the most re-
morseless criticism; every act he per-
forms, every request he denies, every
favor he grants, every word he utters,
is weighed and judged; and he is held
strictly responsible for the remote con-
sequences of both his acts and his re-
fusal to act.
President Harrison is very fortunate
in his equipment for this high Office.
He possesses strong physique is COM
pactly built, has vigorous appetite,
good digestion, full sleeping capacity,
an even temper, and the power Of long
sustained labor. He loves work, and
takes the keenest delight in the severest
mental effort
A college graduate, a trained lawyer,
successful, and yet acquainted with ad-
verssty; soldier with practical knowl-
edge of campaigns and battles; local
politician of the better sort; for six
years United States senator, with q
wide acquaintance with the best men Of
his day; careful student of history
and Of contemporaneous political move
ments; an independent thinker, and a
close observer of men and methods, he
came TO the presidency in the prime of
hfe, fully cognizant of the exalted dig
nifty Of the position and filled with an
ambition to meet worthily all proper
demands that it might make upon him.
A Christian without bigotry; patriot
without sectionallsm; q statesman with
out narrowness. a politician without
bitterness; soldier without vanity;
popular leader without vulgarity, he
stands before the country to-day as a
typical American, honest without can't
tender-hearted without gush. He ap-
preciates the good, the true, the beauti-
full; sympathizes with the poor, the ig-
norant, the unfortunate, and condemns
all that il low, mean,. or evil.

From the Kansas City. Mo-, Journal.
The Chicago platform is in every
sense anti-American where it is sub
stantive, sophomore where it is not
On the silver question it is fair, square
backdown from the position of the party
two years ago, when the vote in con-
gress for free coinage was solid. It went
before the people on that issue more
than on the tariff, and the people gave
them 240 seats in the house to 50 seats
for the republicans.
Now they vote down free coinage on
a square vote in their national conven-
ton, and nominate Cleveland, who
wrote letter denouncing the free coin
age bill, when before congress that got
the practically solid vote of the party
two years ago. Not only did they vote
down free coinage plank in the plat
form, but the free coinage of dollar
made the equal of gold by weight or by
increased number of grains. So the
party stands on its record not only
against free coinage but against the
free coinage of silver under any circum-
stances. All that is needed is to read
the minority report and the appeal Of
Mr.. Patterson, of Colorado

But the platform does not stop here.
It denounces reciprocity in the strongest

extent of millions, where before they

Idaho World,
Prize fighting in Idaho is prohib.
tied by a law enacted by tho last
legislature, or rather the intent Of
the law was to prohibit this highly
human and elevating sport, which
is calculated to raise man so much
above the animal kingdom; but it
does not seem to prohibit to any
great extent. Caldwell led off with
a couple of tests of superiority of
brute force, brute capacity to stand
punishment as result Of deadened
physical sensibilities, and now it is
proposed to have a few exhibitions
of this kind in Boise. If such
practices are allowed to continue in
violation of law, it will be about
time for the people to let up on the
highly moral howl about the degra-
dation of convicted criminals re-
sulting from pugilistic exercises
among the prisoners of the peni-
tentialy.

Tho New York Press Exposes That ''lmportant
Bill' Business.

The article credited to the New
York Press in recent issue Of this
paper, in which it was alleged that
unfavorable action had been taken
in the New York legislature against
the Royal Baking Powder, proves
to have been a canard, gotten up
by opposition baking powder max
ers for purposes quite apparent to
everyone.
The New York Press, in exposing
the fraud, says: mo such legisla-
ton as that stated in this article
has ever been had in this state-or
in an any legislature, to our knowl-
edge" The lie is made from whole
cloth. The Press disclaims any
responsibility for the publication,
and objects to being made 4 party
such methods adopted by some
baking powder manufacturers in
their efforts to substitute their
goods for others now in use.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August So.-ofR-
cial information OF the cholera in
Europe received in Washington to-day
was very meagre, and was confined to
ono dispatch from the consul at Bremen.
He cabled that there was no Asiatic
cholera in that city, and that every pre-
caution is being taken to prevent 1t.
The consul said he would cable the first
case reported. Treasury officials have
received assurances OF effectiveness Of
the national and state quarantine ser
vices, and they say the department has
done all it can do to prevent the cholera
gaining admission into the United
States. The department considers all
new suggestions on the subject that are
presented, and II any are considered
practicable they are adopted.
1t has been suggested in connection
with tho subject OF cholera that the
government should declare national
quarantine against all cholera injected
ports. Acting Secretary Spaulding,
when spoken to about the matter, said
that the hearty cooperation Of the ma
tional and state services mako the ex.
isting quarantine practically national
one. II it should happen that the state
authorities should fail to carry out ef-
ficiently their quarantine regulations
for the prevention of tho introduction
OF the disease, or If any exigency should
arise requiring such action, the treas
ury officials say that the government
would take charge Of all quarantine sta
tions, but they sec no probability OF the
necessity for such action at the present
time.
The following circular on the subject
was issued by Acting Secretary Spauld-
ing this afternoon to collectors OF Gus.
toms and others:
collectors OF customs, on the Cana
dian and Mexican frontiers, are instruc-
ted to exercise special vigilance in the
examination of Immigrants and their
effects and to cooperate with the off:
Gers OF the marine hospital service and
local health officers in such action as
they may deem advisable to prevent
the introduction OF cholera into the
United States.

A bomb-shell has fallen in the Demo-
cratic free trade camp in the shape OF
the annual report of the state commits
sioner Of labor in New York. The
period covered by his investigation into
the effect of the Mckinley bill on wages
includes the year prior to its enact
ment and the year following its becom-
ing law. It is a complete yindication
OF the Republican position and is all
the more significant because it comes
from Democratic official who began
his work confident that the result
would be the reverse of what tits. He
was compelled, however. to render his
report in spite of his disappointment.
MIR. Peck was appointed commissioner
OF labor statistics on May 4, 1883, by
Grover Cleveland, then governor of the
state. He has always been Democrat.
Albany labor men say to New York re-
porters that this is the most remark
able report illustrating the value OF pro-
lection that has ever come from the
pen OF o Democrat.
The following Albany dispatch de-
failing the manner in which the report
was received, and giving Mr.. Peck's
own explanation OF it, is from the New
