in some instances men have been cured

WHlTELAW REID.

The nomination of the Hon. Whitelaw Reid for Vice President will excite more interest than such nominations usually do. MT. Reid has played very prominent part in Republican affairs since the time when, as youth, he made speeches on the Re- publican side in the Fremont campaign and edited the Xenia News. His rise has been continuous and rapid since in 1872, when Horace Greeley died, he became the editor and principal owner of the noble old newspaper founded by Horace Gree ley." MT. Reid has not sought office, though his great services to the party and his fitness for public services caused President Hayes to offer him the post of minister to Germany, and President Garfield to offer him a similar appointment. Like good jour- nalist he put..such temptations behind him. until President Harrison made him min ister to France. It is needless to recount how useful to this country he has been in Paris. He has shown great capacity in dealing with public affairs, and in his diplomatic work he has been con spicuously successful. He stands we'll with all
 branches of the Republican party and will
 add strength to the ticket. He is 55 years old and in good health. The action of the
 convention in choosing him will be very heartily approved.

THE FLEETING SHOW.
Some of Its Facts and Fancies

Some of Its Facts and Fancies.
 Written for the JOURNAL AND CoURIER.l FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE FIRE LADDiEs.
 Mrs. E. A. Russell a jealous temperance worker of Minneapolis, has been the means of providing the fremen of that city with needed refreshment at fires. The drinking saloon offers peculiar tempta- tions to exhausted men, and in the inter- est in temperance, Mrs. Russell has for some time been considering the best meth cd of neutral izing it's evil influence. Through the president of the Vermont w. c. T. U. she heard of cart from which coffee was served at fires, and acting upon this suggestion, plans were drawn for large and fully equipped coffee wagon which was built at cost of seven hundred dollars. Of this sum three hundred dol :ars was SC cured from the city council and the remainder solicited by Mrs. Russell.
 The cafe on wheels is as large as an ice wagon, but in shape resembles an old fash toned English coach. It Is painted in very handsome and ornate style, with wheels of bright red. Inside the wagon, and direct ly back of the partition which separates the drivers seat from the body of the wagon, are two large coffee boilers or tanks underneath which is cylindric gasoline heating apparatus. The upper part of the wagon widens on each side just back of the drivers seat, allowing counters to pro- feet over the back wheels; under these counters on the inside are shelves and drawers. The sides of the wagon above
 the counters open outwardly and form @ protecting roof. A rear door and step eive easy access to the interior. Two or three men standing inside the wagon serve hot coffee and sandwiches at the counters. | Ten gallons of coffee can be made in twen- l ty minutes.
 The wagon was used for the first time l few weeks ago when it stood for four | hours in front of an 'institution for the smelioration of arid suffering" and di-
 verted the tide of weary and thirsty fire | men away from beer and whisky to free coffee and sandwiches. The saloon keeper | was disgusted, but the fremen were grati- l fled and the coffee wagon was voted 6 | splendid success3 It is now kept at one of the stations and is controlled by the fire department.
 l Our own fire department, so finely
 equipped, the pride of the city for Its ex- | cellent service and the superb appearance
 of its men, machines and horses, would be l all the more complete and efficient for so
 useful an adjunct to its supplies. Perhaps New Haven's fire laddies arc not 90 sus- ceptible to saloon allurements as are the
 Minneapolis men, but refreshments gre

BENJAMIN HARRISON.

BENJAMIN HARRISON.
 The action of the Minneapolis conven- ton clears up political situation which had become decidedly dubious and murky. The more that action is thought over the more it will be approved. The wise, the conservative and the safe thing has been done. No good reasons why differ ent action should be taken were offered, and there were many and convincing reasons why the President should be renominated.
 It is now seen that President Harrison is strong in the favor of the people. They look upon him as sensible, con- scientious ruler, and a man who has hardly received the credit due his merits. They see that during his administration the dignity of this country among the nations of the earth has been well and sturdily maintained. They see that every possible effort to increase the commercial prosperity of the country has been made. They see that he has shown great tact and frmness in diplomatic dis putes. They see that, on the whole, his appointments to office have been made with wonderful skill and true regard for the public welfare. They see him dili- gent in the business of his high office and faithful in both great and small matters. They see him living the life of an honest-hesrted, patriotic American citi zen in the White House. They admire his felicitous speeches and his truly demo- cratic ways when he goes among the peo- pie. And they especially admire him for his course during the last few days when, with every temptation to say the sharp and the wrong thing, he has been silent and discreet, standing firm, but not throwing bricks.
 The President enters upon his second campaign stronger than when he ended his first. He has won the confidence of the people by deserving it. He will win the votes of thousands who are not parti- sans, but who believe in him. And he will have the united and cordial support of all Republicans. The Democrats who are saying that the contest at Minneapolis will breed discord are mistaken. Presi- dent Harrison's course toward his oppo- nents has been so wise and considerate that none of them can find a good excuse for bitterness, and there are no indications of any search for one. The campaign will be carried on by g thoroughly united party standing on one of the best plat forms that has ever been presented at a Republican convention.
 The diplomatic, the financial, the com mercial and the industrial interests of the country all demand the reelection of the sagacious and firm-minded statesman who has already done 90 much for them and whose usefulness will be vastly increased if he is reelected. There is a good deal more business than politics in the present situation, and there is no good business reason why there should be change. It behooves business men, workingmen and all concerned to see that the present order of things at Washington is continued. It is all right and should be kept so..
