HARRISON AND REID.

After several days of getting or
gained, of pulse feeling and guess
ing, the Republican National Con
vention nominated Benjamin Har-
rison, of Indiana, for President, and
Whi:elaw Reid, of New York, for
Vice President of the United States.
Contrary TO general expectation, each
nomination was accomplished by a
single roll call. The friends of both
Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Mckinley, with
out their permission or consent, man,
ed them as standard bearers of the
party, but as silence followed pre-
vious declination of candidacy, their
followers could not press for more.
Why Mr.. Morton was displaced by
Mr.. Reid has excited much COM
ment. We presume that the posi-
ton, so far as practical authority is
concerned, is secondary and more
complimentary and honorary than
paying, and that these honors should
be passed around. However, Mr..
Reid is one of the ablest editors in the
country, possibly in the world, and
should bring to the ticket strength
of culture, training and intellect.
Mr.. Harrison's administration has
been both a safe and a clean one.
There is no furnished drapery Of any
kind or character around the White
House, and his personal standing is
pure and praiseworthy, and com
mends him for security to the vot-
ers of this grand Nation. Altogether
it is strong ticket, is so recognized,
and will be so shown when its
strength shall be tested at the polls.

ROBBERY IL RIFE.


The world's Fair city is having a
hard time Of 1t W ith the lawless gangs
which make It their hea quarters thus
far In advance OF the big show, ami
the question now Is VIII ere 1t will end
and how. In addition To the open ami
nefarious work Of tho highwaymcn 1t
seems as IL robberies OF various kinds
were rife and nobo dy Ia safe, not even
the policemen. The papers cry out
against II, call on the officers for In.
creased vigilance and treat tho subject
editorially In all manner OF ways
denunciatioD, reproacb, rldlcule, ex.

"burgles," the iootpad makes his all
but regular nocturnal calls, the ROAD
agent Ia as audacious ~ ever, and
even the various departments Of sneak
thieving seem to be doing flourish
ing business.
A recent issue Of the Chicago Neios
Record, after moralizlng on the last
named branch Of the subject, says such
reflections nre called up by the report
OF an alleged attempt ON the part OF an
"invcstment company" to bcguile
young women clerking In big stores
ON weekly wage into placing their
money In lottery scheme. Like all
lottery schemcs, this one, II 10 said, has
but ono prize drawing-snd that so
made by the company. Money disap.
pears In Its "investments" ia water
vanlshes through a sieve. Yet are
there many-men as well as women
who cannot resist the specious promises
Of quick wealth by any scheme what
soever. II, rs Ia said, several OF Obi.
cago's young saleswomen have been
cheated out OF their dollars 1t Ia be-
cause they did not pause to think tina,

plant herein outlined Is contained In
