As at nIinneapOIis.

The old proverb that history repeats it,
self is finding frequent repetition among
the Cleveland people tonight. Il is re.
membered that exactly two weeks ago az
the Minneapolis national convention, the
anti-Harrison members of the national
committee defeated the Harrison contin-
gent by deciding upon ]. Sloat Fassett OF
New York as the temporary chairman OK
the convention. Fassett was one of the
most earnest of the snti-Harrison peo-
pie and vet the national committee de-
cided upon him for temporary chairman
and, in the face of a convention whicn
was three-ffths for Harrison, he was al
lowed to be seated without protest. Two
days later, however, on the first trial test
of strength, the anti ti-Harrison people were
routed, and on the day following the pres
ident was triumphsntly renominated. All
this is called to public mind by the Cleye-
land people and it is stated that the pro-
gram viii repeat itself in the present
democratic national convention. The
selection Of Owens by the national COM
mittee they hope TO be but an augur of de-
feat of the politicians by the masses of the
party and predict with great confidence
the denomination of the ex-president on
Wednesday next.
In another respect is there q parallel
between the two conventions. The dele
gates from the silver states two weeks ago
allied themselves with the anti-Harrlson
forces and bitterly opposed the presidents
denomination. Today the delegates from
the silver states are for the most part
arrayed against the nomination OF ex-
President Cleveland and have turned to
the South and East in search of a combin-
alton which will defeat the nomination of
the popular fsvorite. In one or two
states, these overtures were successful IN
winning over delegates to Boies as opposed

FEVER GERMS.

Much Futile Speculation as to Their Hiding
Places.
Much inquiry into the cause of the
epidemic of typhoid fever at High Ridge,
southeast of town, has been made, and
thus far has resulted in nothing definite.
When it was discovered that several
weeks ago all of the persons thus far at
tackled by the disease had eaten of ice
cream at social gathering, it was sup
posed that the lurking place of the dread
microbe had been located. But DIR.
Hewetson is positive that this theory
will not stand. Several of the persons
who had on the occasion mentioned
eaten of the cream have shown no signs
of the disease. The idea was that the
milk was infected, but the milk has been
used both before and since without in
furious results. The disease must be
traced, if traced at all, back to some
other case of typhoid. The germ can
not breed itself, even in the filthiest cor
ruption. The Doctor therefore thinks
that the cause of these numerous cases
in the same neighborhood is some in
fection left by the first patient, who was
a visitor to the region from West
Virginia, and who after showing
symptoms of the fever was removed to
her home.

Not Properly Rodded.

The agents who put lightning rods on
Isaac Ault's residence on guarantee of
$500 that the property would not be dam
aged by lightning, had provision in the
guarantee that the building must be
properly rodded. Since the building was
damaged by lightning they say that the
building was not properly rodded. How
ever they have agreed to pay the expense
of putting the building in good repair
BellGire Democrat.
Just as soon as people come to know
that lightning rods are not protection
to buildings, but quite the contrary, just
so soon will the lightning rod swindler
60 out of business. Don't be humbugged
by any guarantee 1t is worth no more
than the rods-tlat is, nothing.

EIGHT years ago the Tribune stood
alone among the newspapers in New
York in support of Blaine and protec-
ton. Now the Tribune, Press, Recorder,
Mail and Erpress and the Commercial
Advertiser are earnest in their support
of Harrison and Republican principles.
The latter has heretofore been indepen-
dent with Democratic tendencies.
In addition the Herald is on the fence,
and the Sun is so free with its advice
that the fool-killer be turned loose
among the the Democratic managers
that its efforts scarcely amount to sup
port of Cleveland. Thus, only the
Times, Eoeni,ag Post and World, out of
all the great array, are left to boost
Democracy. No fear need be felt as to
the result in New York.

In his speech at Bloomington Steven
son said: "The decade and half
extending from the passoge of the low
tariff law of 1916 to the beginning of
our civil war, has been truly called the
golden period of our history. Tne cost
of the necessaries of life had reached
the minimum, and at no time in our
history was it easier for the wageearner
to support his family" Anyone taking
the trouble to look this matter up will
find this statement to be preposterous
lie. He will find that in that golden
period of our history" wages were from
10 to so per cent. lower than now, and
the prices of absolute necessities of life,
20 to 100 per cent. higher. Truly a
golden period"

He Would MT Ride It,

A colored lodge of the Knights of
Pythias was organized in Wellsville on
Tuesday night, and among the initiates
from this city was the colored porter at
the Thompson House, who became so
badly frightened during the ceremony
that he broke away and made his escape
On being asked about the matter, he said
it was against the law to tell anything,
but the men wanted him to get on some
thing he didn't want to ride, to which he
objected, whereupon they threatened to
throw him on and Notwithstanding about
six stout men surrounded him, he threw
them aside like straws, and broke his
way through two doors, smashing one of
them into kindling woOd.-EGst Lioer-

Democratic majority of 4,221; in 1888 a

Mr.. CHARLES F. PECK, a Democrat,
in charge of the New Y ork State Bureau
of Statistics, and appointed by Grover
Cleveland in 1888, has just furnished a
report covering the year Immediately
preceding the enactment of the McKin-
ley law, and the year Immediately fol-
lowing it. In 6S industries, employing
2S5.000 persons, Peck ascertained that
for the latter year there was net in
crease of wages of $6,377,000 as COM
pared with the preceding year, and an
increase of s31,S15,OOO in production.
These are valuable and striking figures
as they are the result of i'll
vestigations carried on entirely under
Democratic auspices.

THE New York World started sub

Northwestern States for the Democracy.
The World headed the list with $4,000,
and now they are down to ten-cent SUBJ
scriptions, and only $4,000 all told has
been raised. From this result, the work
of more than month, it doth appear
that there are few Democrats who have
any faith in a scheme so visionary. It
is too well remembered that the World
INDUCED in similar rainbow chasing in

and the result was that that State gave
a largely increased Republican majority.
May the World keep on with its work.

IT seems scarcely probable that
America can escape visitation of the
cholera since it is prevalent in so many
European ports, between which and this
country there is constant communica-
tion. In many of the cities of Con-
tinental Europe the disease daily carries
off hundreds, and the alarm and terror
over its ravages grows daily. Every
precaution is being taken at the ports
of this country to prevent its entrance,
and it is to be hoped that such efforts
may be successful. The greatest enemy
of the disease is cleanliness, and if it
does reach Our shores, the surest safe
guard against it is to carefully observe
the laws of health and avoid alarm.
