The st. Paul Globe states editori-
ally that General Harrison has IA bet
ter show of carrying New York than
Indiana. But ex-senator Voorhees,,
the Democratic sycamore of the
Wabash, says that Cleveland is not
i'm it with Harrison in Indiana, and
cX-Gov. Gray, who so narrowly missed
the Democratic nomination for Vice
President, says that Cleveland will
drop 0 1000 votes to the rear of Har-
rison in the Hoosicr State. On the
Globes theory, therefore. Harrison's
victory in New York will surpass
even the 1000 plurality of 1888.
The Globes view is undoubtedly cor
rect. 1t is corroboratcd, moreover,
by the testimony of the entire New
York Democratic delegation, by ed
itors Dana and Watterson, by Brice
and Springer, and by the sentiments
of New York laborers and veterans.

We Welcome the Issue.

The first section, first paragraph. Of
the Democratic national platform "re-
aflrms the principles Of the party as
formulated by Jefferson and exemplifed
by the long and illustrlous line Of his
successors in Democratic leadership
from Madison to Cleveland" And then
1t proceeds in its tariff plank to repudiate
the cardinal principles Of the great
statesmen whose names it invokes. To
be honest the platform should have de-
clared: While we cherish the memory
and honor the success Of the great DEM
ocrats, jefferson, Madison, and jackson,
to whose careers We point with pride, we
nevertheless deplore their steadfast adj
vocacy Of protection to American labor
and industry. that pernicious and unjust
American system which we promise to
repeal as soon as we are init listed with
power"
The Democratic tariff plank declaring
Internationally for the abolition Of the
entire protective system Is not only in
principle and effect but in language
identically the free-trade declaration Of
the Southern ~Confederacy. Van Buren,
had been beaten by William Henry
Harrison on q like platform in 1870, and
Polk, the true apostle Of Democratic
free trade, again brought defeat upon
his party in .l8A8. From 1870 to 1892
the party has invented no new platform

Republican ones. Mighty different will
be the situation Of the Democrat elected
this fall II that calamity is to happen.
Having full power he and his party will
be compelled to use it to the full limit
In effecting the spoliation of Northern
labor and Industries in the supposed in
terest of the cotton South. Protection
will then be attacked as wolves attack
lambs. The destruction Of manhood
suffrage will be made more complete,
and the violation of the laws and the
Constitution made more systematic and
thorough. The election laws will
be 80 changed that the Republican party
cannot secure power again in u quarter
Of a century. No matter what majori-
ties the Republican party may get, and
no matter how the people may rally to
its support in the effort to stop the
spoliation Of their labor and their in
dustries, it will be defeated in conse-
quence Of Democratic legislation en-
acted to facilitate corruption Of the suf-
frage, false counting and the making of
false returns. II the Republican party
is ever to make a fight for its life, It
will be this fall.

Keep Your H.t ON WHOM Outdoors.

The California State Board of
Health has sent out a circular en-
titled "The Dangers Arising from
Taking on the Hat Out of Doors
During Funeral Services" 1t at
tacks the custom strongly and urges
that one funeral is often the cause Of
many, because the friends of the
dead stand around in the open air,
even in winter, for many minutes,
while the body is being carried from
house to hearse, or while the cere-
monies at the grave are taking place.
The board asks ministers and chiefs
Of lodges and others who may have
charge of funerals to give the benef-
cent advice to remain covered and
avoid discomfort and DANGER" The
point is made that remaining covered
when removing the hat means peril
to the health is no disrespect to the
dead, but simply u wise and humane
precaution.-New York Sun.

Evolution Of til. Hnry..to,.

The original cave dwcllcr-dear
child of the working scientist-har-
vested his wheat crop by going out to
his field and gnawing off the heads Of
the grain with his active jaws. The
plan had its advantages and also its
disadvantages-on the whole our able
progeniter longed for something bet
ter. Then there arose a thoughtful
paleozoic inventor who pointed out.
that the grain could be pulled up by
the roots and the heads thrashed OUT
in the palm Of the hand. This satis-
fed u esteemed ancestor, and mat.
tiers ran along thus for a few hundred
thousand years; indeed, 1 claim the
working scientists privilege to be
vague as to years. Let us throw
overheard the cave-dweller, for that
matter, and come along down to
modern times. Let us begin with
the sickle, for instance.
You may still find old men who
will tell you that they can remember
when farmers in this country had
nothing but the sickle with which to
handle their wheat and rye. A dozen
Incl worked in single file, and cut the
grain with n hand and gathered it
on the other arm, stopping every
round" to drink earnestly out of a big
jug Of New England rum or Pennsyl-
vania whisky. Then came the era
dle-a scythe with "hngers" on it
which made the grain lie straight.
Many farmers have u cradle yet for
corners and odd hooks. With it one
man cut down the grain and another
bound it into sheaves. Then rose a
direct descendant of the paleozoic
genius, and invented a reaper drawn
by horses. This was in the '3Os, say.
A man drove, and a small boy sat on
a low seat and raked off the grain in
gavels. He was practically the same
small boy who used to pull the strings
that worked the cutoff valve in the
first steam engine. He soon lost his
occupation in both instances-in the
case Of the reaper they invented the
mechanical rake. 1t took five men
to follow on foot to bind up what the
reaper cut down. Still the farmer
wasn't satisfied. So they made him
the harvester. Two men besides the
driver rode OF this, and bound. the
grain as it was brought up on an end
less apron to where they stood. They
had an awning v them and were
very comfortably situated. This was
in the '7Os. Still the agriculturist
fretted. Then he got the self-binder,
which he has yet, though he is be-
ginning to find fault with it and
talks about electricity. - Harper's

The Chicago Herald co%ngratulates
the Democratic party on having taken
a position on the tariff question that
admits Of no misconception, misun-
derstanding, or Misrepresentation. 1t
is . platform, says the Herald, which
will make it forever impossible for
towards and dodgers in the Demo.
cratic party to abate one jot Of the
true faith, which is tarif for revenue
only. It adds: The man who be-
lieves in incidental protection is a.
much a protectionist as he who be-
lieves in protection for projections
sake. There can, in the nature of
things, be no real difference between
them. There is no halfway ground
on the subject of the tariff. II pro-
lection is right in any respect, it is
right all along the line. The oppo-
nents OF extreme protection can find
no safe place to stand except on the
doctrine of a tariff for revenue only"
There are tens Of thousands Of Dem
ocrats in this country who believe in
reasonable protection for American
industries. We call their attention
to this determined attempt to read
them out Of the Democratic party.
The platform adoptedat Chicago does
not tolerate the slightest preference
in American legislation for American
industries over those Of foreign coun-
tries.

Table Manners.

Probably there is no people in the
world so unciviliced as not to have
among themselves a code of manners,
more or less strictly defined. Mr..
Bishop, while on his thousand-mile
walk across South America, was inn
pressed with this fact. He described
a rude meal which he shared with a,
company of cart-drivcrs - almost
savage gauchos"-in whose company
he was then travelling.
We encamped near a swamp, and
supped upon sliced pumpkins, boiled
with bits of meat, and seasoned with
salt. The meal was served in genu-
inc pampa fashion: one iron spoon
and two cows horns, split in halves,
were passed around the group. the
members of which squatted upon
their launches, and freely helped
themselves from the kettle.
Even in this most uncivilized form
of satisfying hunger there is a Pc
culiar etiquette, which the most
lowly peon invariably observes. Each
member Of the company in turn dips
his spoon, or horn, into the center Of
the stew, and draws it in a direct
line toward him, never allowing it to
deviate to the right or to the left.
By observing this rule, each person
eats without interfering with his
neighbor. Being ignorant Of this
custom, 1 dipped my horn into the
mess at random, and tished about for
some Of the nice bits.
My companions regarded this hor-
rid breach Of politencss with scowls
of Impotence. They declared with
some warmth to the cook, that
gringos did not know how to eat, and,
'as they lived upon dogs in their own
distant country, they came to the
great Argentine Republic to get food
and grow fat on the gauchos."
I a%pologized as we'll as I could, and
endeavored thereafter to eat accord.

INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL:

INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL: The
Stevenson incident shows that the
men who served their States in the
late war are in danger of being
crowded by the names of men who
did not serve their country during
that period. 1t is a period when a
man who accepts a nomination is
styled colonel" @ general" but rare
ly anything lower in rank. 1t is
supposed to help a man with the peo-
pie to have been a soldier. II the
names Of men who have never ell
listed are thrust into the record as
~brave soldiers" while nearly half of
the veterans OF. the late war are liv-
ing, what may not be expected later
on? The honor of war is a distinctive
property, and for all time it will have
value. At the present time it is al
most impossible to tell from the
incomplete rosters whether a man
who may claim OF have it claimed for
him that he was in the Union army
is entitled to the honor or not, since
few States have published alphabeti-
cal lists of the names OF the men who
served in their organizations. Would
1t not be we'll for States at this late
day to publish alphabetical lists of
their volunteers, as a few States have
