Quarters as to its authenticity. NJ Octave

says there Is no doubt of its genuineness.
He says he recognized in the manuscript
the writing of the late Francois Hugo, the
poets son; and in many of the conversations
Victor Hugo is referred to as Mon Pere, and
Charles Hugo as Mon Frere. Moreover, the
corrections are in Victor Hugo's own hand

THE HaRRISBURG FATALITY

The fatal accident on the Pennsylvania
Railroad is another of those typical rear
end collisions which happen from con-
junction Of unusual but by no means un-
iOreseen circumstances. The first section
of the Western express was stopped out
side of the station little longer than
usual The engineer of the second section
did not see the signal, or the wrong signal
was given from the tower. The result is
summed up in the death Of ten people and
The injury of about fifty more.
Such 4 calamity cannot by any means be
classed in the list of unpreventable acci-
dents. Only little more care in each of
two or three details would have prevented
ii and saved a half score lives. The con-
junction Of circumstances may have been
out OF the ordinary, but they were by no
means so extraordinary as to do away
with the need Of guarding against them.
1t is a significant fact that nearly all the
fatal collisions on the PENNSYLVANIA Rail-
road for some years past, which to the
credit OF the management have been few,
have been caused by the loopholes or
neglect Of the block system. That system
IS great safeguard, but no system can be
relied upon to do away with the necessity
for constant vigilance against the perils of

THE END OF GORMAN.

Il is pleasure to note that Hon. Arthur
?. German, of Maryland, in the Demo-
cratic convention, like the Hon. Thomas
B. Reed, in the Republican, was made the
subject of a subsidiary and collateral
dump, which, though not the leading re-
suits OF the conventions, are final and
conclusive so far as these statesmen are
concerned.
Like Mr. Reed, Senator German con-
celved the idea that he was in position to
be q Presidential candidate sab rosa. He
did not have the nerve to present himself
in that light, after the bold manner of
David B. Hill. On the other hand, he
could not retain his attitude of discretion
long enough to prevent it from being seen
that after making representations to all
sides he was really working for Arthur Pue
Gorman. As a result Democrats at large
notice that political alliances with tine
Maryland Senator cannot be appraised at
Jhc value Of the breath required to make
them.
German may be rated at the most COM
pletcy fattened out statesmen among
the Chicago victims. Hill had effectually
broken his own neck some weeks before
the convention. Brice will chase rain
bows less attitudinousiy on account of the
convention. But not even Brice is so
thoroughly shown up and laid out as an
imaginary Presidential quantity in the past
tense, as German, of Maryland

such reductions of prices on protected arti-
cles as would not have been secured had
our markets been left in the control of the
European manufacturers. The histories of
the steel and plate glass and carpet indus
tries, and many others which might be
named, will be full of instruction on this
point. They will show that, while pro-
lection has SHIT out the competition of
foreigners, yet by making the home bus!-
ness profitable it has stimulated such
enormous activity and competition in this
country as to secure to the general con-
sumer great reductions in the prices of
articles from those which prevailed when
the American factories were started.
If the tariff has ever been esteemed
dry or difficult subject, it will surely not
prove so between now and November, for
the best minds of the country will be en-
gagged in calculating it from thousand
rostrums. The men of books and theory
will not have their own way, either They
will have to measure their theories up
against the indisputable facts and figures
of every branch of industry and trade, as
well as of the relative conditions of coun-
tries employing the antagonistic systems.
Such campaign will be instructive in
the highest degree. The protectionists
have nothing to fear, but, on the contrary,
everything that is desirable to expect

Tho Prohibitionists My Nominate General
BidweII. of California.
CINCINNATI. June 25.-The American pub
lie fs by this time accustomed to national
conventions, SO that the announcement of
another for next week will not be startling
The National Prohibition Convention meets
In Music Hall in this city Wednesday, juno
g. The substantial building, in which the
Democratic National Convention of 1880 was
comfortably accommodated when General
Hancock was nominated, has been appro-
priately decorated.
The convention bids fair to outstrip its
two predecessors at Minneapolis and Chi
cago In size. The total delegate list is ,l9l,
and there are as many alternates. The
managers say that nearly all of these will be
present. The National Committee of the
party opened its headquarters this after
noon at the Grand Hotel. Samuel Dickfe, of
Michigan, Is Chairman. Preliminary to the
convention there has been arranged mass
meeting for Music Hall tomorrow after
noon, to be addressed by Miss Frances Will
lard, DR.. W. H. Boole. Dr.. A. B. Leonard and
others.
Chairman Dickie talks like q politician
about the expectations of the party. He
says 1t ts not church organization. He
wants 1t understood that not all Prohibition
lists are church members. nor, indeed, total
abstainers from alcoholic drinks, Many
men who drink favor the destruction of the
traffic, and Mr. Dickie says: eve are party
and must get votes from all available
sources"
The question of the nominee for President
naturally does not wear upon the persons
interested to any great degree. The first
man in the minds of most OF the party. Mr..
st. John, peremptoriy declines 10 permit
gested is General John Bidwell, the farmer
OF California, whose land extends IA miles
IN length and three miles in width.

more and more an insufficient safeguard
This illustrates the short sightedness OF
the levee policy. The function of the ievee
is very useful in confining and directing
the flow Of the river as long as its volume
does not exceed the usual capacity OF the
channel But when the ordinary channel is
full and the danger lire is reached the only
safety is in multiplying outlets. The fact
that the Mississippi river has made outlets
of this sort for its floods might have been
recognized as showing its necessity. But
the desire to reclaim lands by means of
levees has been so great that it has taken
a vast expenditure of money and still
greater losses by floods to demonstrate
that the levee system is not sufficient by
itself Yet it is better to learn the lesson
late than never.
The true policy beyond question is to
use levees and dikes for directing the flow
of rivers so long as they keep within their
banks But when the great floods come
all the outlets that are available should be
employed to carry the water off easily.

A DIFFERENCE IN SIZE.

We observe an announcement from
Washington that the State Department,
even in its present acephalous condition,
has come to the conclusion that it will not
take up the case of Mr.. Poultney Bigelow,
recently expelled from Russia, for having
expressed his mind too freely about the
Cars government while in this country.
The theory of this abstinence from eagle
spreading is, according to the Washington
Post, that as Mr.. Bigelow broke into
Russia on his own responsibility, he is to
be left to take the consequences of his
action.
This may be all very well so far as Mr..
Bigelow is concerned. That gentleman
has so widely advertised his intimacy with
the German Emperor that there is GER
tain degree of justice in leaving him to 60
for vindication and indemnity to his i'm
perial chum. But the United States Gov
ernment may appear slightly at disadvan-
tage in the matter 1t is not very long
since it was somewhat fiamboyantly an
nouncing that the flag must be respected
and the rights of American citizens main
tanned all over the world at any cost. If
there is any right of American citizens
more indisputable than the one of travel
ing peacefully in any country with which
we are in treaty relations, it is that of
writing his impressions of the country
after he gets home. As these acts are the
sum total of Mr.. Bigelow's offending
against Russia, there is strong impress
sion that the rights of American citizens
in Russia are not worth mentioning
This is not on the whole very great loss,
since intelligent American citizens can as
rule protect themselves by staying away
from that fiat and uninteresting country.
But may not the invidious remark be
made that the difference in the altitude of
our diplomacy, in the case of Russia as
against Chile, is due to the difference in
the size of the two nations?

LIMITATIONS OF THE LEvEE.

1t is an indication of awakening COM
mon sense that the New Orleans Delta
is beginning to entertain doubt whether
the stubborn adherence to the levee system
as the sole protection against floods in the
lower Mississippi is the wisest course. 1t
makes the suggestion that the treatment
of the Atchafalaya river has been a short
sighted one. New Orleans insisted upon
stopping up the head of that stream for
fear that the Mississippi in some of its
freaks might make that the main channel.
The consequence is that the outlet for
overflow being blocked, the whole force of
the floods is turned npon New Orleans and
the levees have proved each year to be

A MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING.

A novel project in the line of building
enterprises, and at the same time marked
step in the progress and improvement of
the city, is reported elsewhere in these
columns The enterprise for an Office
building for physicians and dentists on
Sixth avenue is an interesting one; and
the large and ornamental building that is
to be constructed will prove a material
addition to the business architecture of
the city. While people do not generally
stop to think Of the difference in require
ments for the offices of doctors and den-
fists, it is very clear when stated. The
new eight-story building will therefore
have a distinct usefulness and prove a
very great accommodation to the members
of the healing profession and their
patients. The physicians who have Or
ganized this project are to be congratu-
lated on their progressiveness as well as
the future quarters which this enterprise
will give them. ...

HON. ADLAI E. STEVENSON,

AN active, earnest ana uncompromising
Democrat, he has shown himself in public
office and in private life worthy OF any
honor and equal to any station.-LouisuiNe
Courfer-JourndI (Denh).
A BETTER selection could hardly have been
made. Mr.. Stevenson is q stanch Demo-
crat widely popular, and his selection will
be especially satisfactory to Mr.. Cleveland.
-GeueIand Plaindealer (Dem.).
IT is long distance from Thomas A.
Hendricks and Allen G. Thurman to Adlai
E. Stevenson, but that is the way political
parties generally come down stairs when
they start to otumble.- Philadelphia Telegraph
(Ipd.).
In the exercise OF "turning the rascals
out" of all the postoffices Mr.. Stevenson
proved not only that ne is Democrat, but
that in swinging an ak and cutting or heads
he is hard to beat.-Rochester, ~ Y, Adper-
tiser (Dsm.).
MEASURED from O political point of view
and quite without regard to personal con.
sideratlons, it strikes us that Nr. GRAY
would have given more strength to tho
ticket than Mr.. Stevenson can do.-Boston
Herald (Ind).
Mr.. STEVENSON is a man of character,
ability, popularity, unconditional and unfn.
terrupted Democracy, aggressive partisan
ship and of marked power to organize and
impress the strength of the party.-Brooklyn
Eagle lind. .-Dem.).
HIS principal service to the country was
rendered as Assistant Postmaster General
under Villas, and consisted of constant viola
tions of the civil service reform law in tho
interest of the "hungry and thirsty" ."-Phna-
delphia Bulletin (Rep).
IT cannot be said that Mr.. Stevenson was
chosen as the financial auxiliary Of the con.
test; neither can he be relied on for glittering
campaign oratory. He is not exactly popu-
lar in Illinois, but he has scarcely an enemy
from Chicago to Cairo Chicago Nesos (LpdI
IT is surely q remarkable thing that the
two States which stand at the head of the
doubtful list, the loss of either OF which
would be fatal, should be singled out for
especial disfavor. There is probably no
man in the country better pleased with the
action of the Chicago Convention than Ben

THE POINTS OF UNCERTAINTY.


With Harrison and Cleveland pitted
against each other in the field once more
the Republican mind turns naturally and
jubilantly to presages of repetition o1
the result of 1885, This is what all the
| friends of protection must bend their
energies to secure; but in order that the
effort may not be lax, it is well to consider
the doubtful points of the contest. which
may possibly prove of Importance enough
to turn the issue.
Besides the general verdict of the
people there is one place in which the
schemes and disappointments of political
leaders may exercise powerful result.
That is the State of New York. In that
State, too, we have the peculiar case of
practical politicians on both sides, sup.
posed to hold the lever of politics,
whose wishes have been notoriously
overriden by the nominations. Patt has
not been more completely chagrined
by the nomination of Harrison than Hill
and Croker have by the nomination of
Cleveland. Dissatisfied managers in other
States may indulge the attitude of cold in
difference without materially affecting the
result But in State so close as New
York the enmity of leader, carrying per-
haps no. more than few thousand votes
with him, may prove fatal.
The question in New York seems to be
whether Hill and Tammany can and will
knife Cleveland more thoroughly than
Platt can and will knife Harrison. Of the
willingness to do this on either side there
is not much room to doubt. The defeated
bosses on both sides are vindictive, and
their political future, if their parties sue
ceed without them, will be nullity. 1t is
likely, therefore, to prove an important
question as to their respective ability to
take votes away from the respective
tickets. Tammany has larger trained
following thoroughly dependent on it
than has Platt. For that reason we re-
gard the element of discomfort in New
York as more dangerous to Cleveland than
to Harrison.
On the other hand there is uncertainty
of another complexion in the possible
third party vote in the West and South
west Here the only question is as to
what the third party can do, for if it
affects the result at all. it will affect it in
favor of the Democrats. Say that it car
ries State like Kansas or Dakota, which
otherwise would have secured the election
of Harrison. 1t will thus throw the elec-
ton into the House and secure the election
of Cleveland. Say that it takes away
from the Democrats a Southern State
which might otherwise have given Cleve-
land enough votes to elect him, The effect
will only be to throw the election into the
House and M axe Cleveland's victory
moral certainty. The probability that the
Peoples Party will carry any electoral
votes may be slight-but to whatever ex-
tent it exists it is a threat to Republican
success.
These two uncertainties, together with
the activity of the tariff reformers every
where, should warn the friends of protec-
ton that they cannot be idle this year.
Vigorous work from now till November
will be required to make victory secure.
