The Death OF Mrs. Harrison

The whole country will join in profound
sympathy for President Harrison in the
great bereavement he has sustained IN the
death Of his most estimahle wife, Politi-
cal differences will be lost SIGHT Of while
the Chief Executive of our great nation IL
bowed in the presence of the greatest grief
that can ever come to him. Mrs. Harrison
was 10 all respects a noble type OF our best
American womanhood. As mistress OF
the White House she has from
the first commanded the respect and won
the love of the American people. Cul-
turei. dignihed, kindhearted, generous, she
made friends Of all with whom she came in
contact. She was pre-eminentls home
woman, and IN that happy circle AS wife and
mother she SAT in single unerowned glory.
It would he impossible to estimate the great
benefit that President and Mrs HARMON
have done the American people IN furnish
them living example of pure and hcauti-
ful home life And nov when the unity of
that home circle has been broken, after
weeks of loving watclfulness and patient
accomplishing suffering, by that grim
messenger, who wipes out all political lines
levels all work. and lays the shepherd :
crook beside the sceptrc. the country JOINS
IN sincere ~naurning for the noble woman
who. after Il life OF good works, has passed
on To the farther shore.

business men," saws Mr.. Reed are
everywhere beginning to feel that some
measure of stability should attach to our
laws and that statute of the | nited States
which affects business should not be pit
fall and a snare.
To iniure business there is no such pow
crful specific as uncertainty.
If there is to be a perpetual threat
against the laws on which business is
founded what more exhausting condition
can be imagined
If the late revision of the tariff is work
ing its way TO favor. IL business has AL
ready adjusted itself 10 it, what reason
can there be more controlling in the next
election than the desire of business men to
let things alone. TO stand by the existing
order of affairs
.In 1850 the election was carried hs bus
mess men for business reasons. and for the
prosperity of the country. There is now
visible no reason why the same motives
should not govern ia ls12. IL
this country wants to be fallow and produce
nothing, a covering over it of Democracy
will prevent any growth but tare-.
THE reason why the Republican party
can do something is because it believes in
itself. Its members are willing TO agree on
some course of action; they think nearly
alike.
The Democracy are not in the least in
accord. As party they believe in silver
standard. not scientifically to rectify the
currency of the world. but practically as a
method of paving debts. Yet they dare
not do anything, because they fear to lose
the an,i-siiver states. They have principles.
but they know tina, the Offices are the only
real good.
As party they believe in tariff reform
not for scientific and economic purposes to
raise revenue or assist trade. but for the
practical purposes of getting votes.
with one bill they proclaim free raw
materials. to capture the Eastern manufact-
urer, while with the next bill they free the
manufactured product TO catch the emhat-
tied farmer, and they pass both the hills
through the House with an added cheerful
ness horn of the fact that neither caa
