THE WAY IT WAS AT ROCH-
ESTER.
Rochester Democrat.

Rochester Democrat.
tuesday, Sept. Is, the Republicans
held their political rally. There were
advertised Knute Nelson, Col. Plum
mer, j. A. Tawney and Julius Caesar
Burrows. The three former arrived in
the forenoon, and were taken to the
fair grounds. After speaking they
rallied to connect with the reception
committee, and walked back to the city
unaccompanled by any of the commit
tee. In the evening small number of
men and boys followed the band around
few blocks for parade, and then the
orators addressed the assemblage. Mr.
Nelson was advertised to speak at both
places OF meeting, but spoke at ouly
one.
Now, about the Hon. Julius Caesar.
He came to the city, was not received.
and, being disguised with his reception
and the outlook, departed without tax
ing any part whatever.
On Friday, Sept. 16, the Democrats
held their political rally. There were
advertised the next governor, Hon. d.
w. Lawler, Capt. W. II. Harries. and
Hon. Z. 5. barrow, of Chicago. Each
was accorded reception. all were con-
Veyed to and from the fair grounds In
hacks, and were given one of the grand
est demonstrations ever held in the CITY
OF Rochester. They spoke as advertised
ana there was not flaw in the pro-
ceedings.
No wonder Republican hats are
draped In mourning. The demonstra-
ton OF Friday compared with the one OF
tuesday would make an ordinaryRepub-
lican feel like draping his hat. Oh, yes,
the weather was against them, SO were
the people, also their candidates. The
great Northwest is destined to be
counted in the Democratic column.

A MODERN ABRAHAM.

Two widely diSsimilar influences OPP
crate chiefly to fill our insane asylums-
vicious indulgences and intense relig-
ious fervor. Drunkenness and the
other forms of vice can hardly be said
to claim more victims in this direction
than does intensity of religious feeling.
Acuteiy emotional natures are very
prone to give way under the strain of
religious excitement. A species of
frenzy ensueS, sometimes merely tenn
porary, but frequently resulting in
permanent Impairment OF the intellect.
Whoever has seen an Old-fashioned
darky camp-meeting, or an Indian
ghost dance, can appreciate the tre-
mendouS force of religious excitement
on simple, untutored minds. In these
cases the effects are very seldom per-
manent; the frenzy wears off and leaves
the mind none the worse, and the souls,
unfortunately, none the better for the
strain. 1t is through quiet and inces-
SAINT broodlng over religious matters
that emotional minds are most fire.
quently visited with permanent impair
ment. Some accidental cause-a sud
den shock or violent physical illness,
perhapS-c contributes to the wreck, and
the intellect succumbs to the shadowy
shapes and images of religious madness
A case i'll poiOt is that of the huckster,
WILLIAM Lock by name, who Mortified
his fellow villagers i'll an obscure Penn
sylyania community the other day by
Strengthening his infant son under the
impulse of religious frenzy. In this
case, physical ailment had assisted NOR
bid religious fervor in making wreck
OF the mans mind. In his frenzy he
saw himself second ABRAHAM COM
handed to Stay his child, and this time
no voice or hand interposed to save the
haplesS babe. 1t would be interesting
to know how many victims have been
claimed by that old Bible narrative of
ABRAHAM and ISAAC; how many babes
have suffered the butchers knife as a
result of that interrupted sacrifice of
JehovaI-Jireh. 1t is one of the COM
moneSt forms of religious madness, this
impulse to make a sacrificial Offering of
ones own flesh and blood. Every now
and then the papers record an instance
OF 1t, this Pennsylvania case being the
latest. There is something in the story
OF ABRAHAM'S sublime obedience that
appeals with singular force to minds
morbidly affected by religious mania.
There are babes yet unborn that will
suffer from it. 1t is pitlful to think that,
as many have been, SO. doubtless, many
still shall be the unwelcome sacrifices
insanely offered up to the great Jeho-
yah in consequence of that one which

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. "a. = Lieut..
Peary, who returned yesterday from the

academy of natural sciences this morn

across the ice field of Greenland ac-
compllshed, he paused for moment
and then said with elaboration:
Il have determined absolutely the
northern extension of the Northern
Greenland ice cap. am confident that
the data and observations which [ hold
will prove to ali geographers that have
determined the northern extension of
the mainland of Greenland. | have
determined with almost certainty that
the lands north of Victoria inlet are de-
tached masses, similar to those known to
occur at the southern extremity of
Greenland. In April, before going OH

"HADDON HALL"
Sullivan and Grundy's Latest Eff
fort Magnificently Produced
in London.
The New Venture Enthusia stically
Received by a Brilliant
Audience.

LONDON, Sept. 24.-''Haddon Hail.
the new comic opera. written by Sir
Arthur Sullivan and MIR. Sydney Grun-
dy, was presented for the first time
tonight at the Savoy theater.
While the new venture met with an
enthusiastic reception. and was warmly
applauded by the most brilliant audi
ence that London has seen since the
death of the Duke of Clarence and
Avondale, it is doubtful if the work
will achieve the popular success, or will
last as long as previous productions at
this theater.
When Sir Arthur Sullivan took the
conductors chair promptly at o'clock,
all parts of the house were crowded.
The Duke of Edinburgh, looking brown
and hearty. occupied a box with two
friends. John Mackay, the American
bonanza king, and his wife and party,
were seated in another box. and Mrs.
Ronalds, who gave much valuable
assistant at the rehearsals, was the oc-
cupant of stage box. Lady Colin
Campbell and many other notable per-
sons were among the audience. Sir
Arthur looked ill. His appearance in
the orchestra was the signal for an out
UuISt VI applause anu he received quite
an ovation The overture was brief.
The music throughout was in Sulli-
vans best style, and the audience was
quick to appreciate the distinguished
authors efforts. The opera was beauti-
fully staged and costumed, and the
scenic effects were perfect. Except at
rare intervals, however, the piece is
rather serious and lacks plot.
At the end of the performance, Sir
Arthur, Mr.. Grundy, D'Oyley Carte,
the manager of the theater, and all the
players were called before the curtain
and loudly cheered. Although there
were loud cries for speech. the prin-
cipals refrained from making any re-
marks and simply acknowledged the
plaudits by bowling their thanks.

HE JACKASS, THE SOW AND
THE DYNAMITE.

Ii is amusing to note the vieor with
which the tleckless Sage of Nininger
Rssails the wheat robbers. In magnifi-
cent reputation and forgetfulness of
all former intimacy between him and
them, he now thrashes around blindly
and blunderingly in an effort to adver-
flSe his virtuOuS hostility toward these
pests of the commonwealth.
70 Not III this connection, particularly,
but merely by chance, the GLOBE dis
covels an interesting item of local in
formation in the columns of a rural ex-
change. 1t seems that some unused
dynamite cartridges were carelessly left
Dver night in a field where stump blast

member of the swine family, feminine

her omnlverUuS instincts, swallowed the

AMERICAN HISTORY,

One very curious feature of the pend
ing campaign deserves attention even
from those who professedly take no i'll
terest in political questions AS soon
as the Democracy adopted its radical
tariff plank at Chicago, denouncing Re-
publican protectioniSm as fraud and
breach of the nations constitution,
Republican organs and pamphleteers
began to attack its position by quota
tions from the writings of ante-bellum
Democrats like JEFFERSON, MADISON
and JACKSON. They claimed that these
early leaders were all protectiOniSts,
and tainted the Democracy of today
with treason to its traditions and the
doctrines of its founders.
President HARRISON in his letter of
acceptance devoted a few pages to the
elaboration of this idea, and Mr..
BLAINE followed his example in the
brief document he addressed to Mr..
MANLEY on the issues of the hour.
WHITELAw REID entitled his last pub
lie address Abandonment" because it
consisted of a catalogue of principles
and professions to which, as he
claimed, the Democracy had proved
false during the course of its his
tory. and among them he included
faith in the virtues of protective
tariff, which, if his statement is to be
relied on, was conspicuous article of
ANDREW JACKSoN'S political creed.
Not to multiply examples. there is in
addition to all these our own Mr.. MEL
SON, who, every evening in the week and
at Saturday matinees, is defending his
Inconsistencies on the tariff problem by
shouting: Don't mind me. Think of
ANDREW JACKSON, and then read the
Democratic national platform of 1892. "
If the GLOBE were inclined at this
time to discuss the merits of this style of
argument, it would be enough, perhaps.
to say that THOMAS JEFFERSON and
ANDREW JACKSON are dead, and that
conditions confront the Democracy mill
liant i'll graphing with which it would
be helped very little by the opinions of
the Democracy triumphant, even if the
enemy quotes them correctly. But on
this quiet Sabbath morning the GLOBE
prefers to eschew the angry contentious
of the political forum, as far as the
season will permit, and it refers to these
things now from the standpoint of the
scholar rather than from the standpoint
of the partisan. What it has i'll mind
especially is this: Republican writers
and speakers can attribute what views
they please to the great statesmen of
Americas past, and Democratic writer's
and speakers can meet their assaults
with fiat denial, and the American
people is entirely incapable of de-
Gliding between them. We read
many books, and pride ourselves on
our exceptional educational opportuni-
ties, and yet there is only here and
there man with even the most ele-
mentary knowledge of our country's
history. THOMAS JEFFERSON and AN
DREW JACKSON suggest no more to
most of us than would the names of the
obscurest medieval kings. In no de-
partment is popular ignorance more
universal or profound than IN this.

KILKENNY LIBELED
BY a Newspaper That Seldom
Tells the Truth.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Kilkenny-Campbell, the tariff reformer(?)
and Democratic Demosthenes, entertained a
motley crowd of buns. old Bourbons and
small boys last night on the question of
Tariff for Revenue Only" Much Of his
time was spent in relating stolen extracts
from GLOBE editorial and TRADE of abuse of
John S. Pillsbury.
The item above appeared in the Min
neapoliS Evening Tribune of the 21st
inst, which is dirty. Smutty libel on
the good citizens of Kilkenny. | hap
pen to know something of the history of
Kilkenny, although 1 am only So
Journer among its fair people, and for
the purpose of informing those who
know nothing about its society, [ will
say that it is small village on the MIN
neapOlis & st. Louis railroad, eight
miles north of Waterville. The town
ship has been settled in early DAYS by
the sturdy Irish, and heavy forests cut
away, fine homes and farms hewn out
of the forest Many of the business men
OF the village are largely engaged in
farming, and during the busy season
their wives and daughters attend to the
business done.
These are the buns and Bourbons
that met Mr.. Campbell at the depot on
the evening referred to by the cor
respondent of the dirty Know
nothing Minneapolis Tribune. A
torchlight procession, 800 strong, COM
posed of the sturdy farmers of the viii
lage and surrounding country, called
upon W. NJ. Campbell at the hotel and
escorted him to the hall, where they.
with large number ofladies, listened
to genuine common sense lecture; and
during his whole remarks MIR. Campbell
did not say an abusive word against the
opposing parties. The Republicans of
this village are more incensed at the
Tribune Squibber than the Democrats.
