Mckinley for Harrison.

Governor Mckinley, stopping in
Washington on his way to take a hand
in Rhode Island, said to a correspond
ent OF the Cleveland Leader:
l had pleasant interviews to-day with the
President and Secretary Foster. but there was
nothing In Thorn that concerns the public. You
may say that ] am In favor Of the denomination
country n strong, clean administration, and /
believe tho general sentiment OF the Republican
party Is favorable TO him. l am confident tina:
he Will receive thesolid vote OF the Ohio delcga.
ton to the Minneapolis convention.
This is right from the shoulder, and
it is. in entire harmony with Judge
COTS recent interview in tho ~INrELLl-
GENcER. Mckinley is for Harrison and
expects to see him nominated.

Are ThcT Afraido

All the Democratic politicians agree
that the policy of protection to Ameri-
can industries is an. ~iniquity. and that
the evil one himself could not have
framed a moro diabolical measure than
the Mckinley act.
They behold the country sweating
and grooming under tho heavy burden
OF that act; yet whatever energies they
have they arc dovoting to an effort to
pass a free coinage bill and another to
defeat the passage OF the free coinage
bill.
United in their opposition to protec-
ton, they spend their days and nights
fighting ovcr a measure which is laying
their party wide open and making its
immense majority in the house us use
los to their party as it is to the country.
Why did not the Democratic caucus
instruct tho Democratic ways and means
committee to prepare q measure to take
tho place OF tho Mckinley act? Since
that was not done and it was dotermin-
ed to start with putting wool on the
free list and follow up with more of the
same kind, why did not this sort Of
tariff reform" fire tho Democrats in
the house with some Of the energy
which free silver has put in them?
### 80 =. .#.. II. Ia.
Can it BIO that they fear to go before
tho country with their hands reeking
with tho fresh ink Of a Democratic tariff
measure? Perhaps they have heard
something and fear that the country
cannot again DO fooled with tho cry Of
"exorbitant Mckinley priccs."l

A Cool Suggestion.

AS the New York Herald sees it, tho
Democratic way out OF the presidential
middle is "a man from the west" ut
tho head Of tho ticket with Hill to
look after tho interests o fthe Vico-Pres-
idoncy." "All knives would DO shoath-
cd"
II Mr.. Cleveland could DO "tho man
from tho vest no might agree to this.
But wouldn't Hill feel that no should
have been consulted before being insult
ed by being aaked to play second fiddle
to someone who hasn't tho genius to
bag 4 convention or steal a legislature.
In this matter Of securing Democratic
harmony and clearing the ship for ac-
tion, David Bunco Hill will have to be
reckoned With. 1t is the misfortune Of
the Democratic party that it has toler-
atcd Hill and hurrahed for him up to
this point.

II Americans could be assured by
those in whom they have confidence
that tho food they send to the starving

Mr.. Drayton and Hi Pin Money.

After all tho. fine talk on Mr.. Dray.
toms side it appears that there was a
"money consideration" Mr.. Drayton
was to abandon his idea Of leaving his
wife, was to go abroad with her so as to
avoid a scandal, and was to have out OF
tho Astor millions 5000 a year, as pin
money.
II this was not n "monev considera-
ton" for condoning whatever olfense
he thought his wife had committed, it
would BIO difficult to imagine ono. Per.
haps MIR. Drayton's proud spirit regards
it as such a little one as to be unworthy
Of consideration.
Whether he had forfeited q gentle.
mans right to DO killed by the man who
had alienated his wife's affections, is
quite another matter, with regard to
which 100000 of people are not lying

The speech Of Hon. J.. D. Taylor, of
Ohio, on the wool tariff gives the free
wool men a little more than they can
handle successfully. His reference to
tho action Of the Ohio Democrats in

bothcrsome to those gentlemen at this

dicament by explaining hat they were
not sincere in lSSs, but they will hard

Tho Tea Eating Caterpillar.

An unexpected enemy, a common
hairy caterpillar, has turned its at
tention to the tea gardens. This
caterpillar was previously known
and dishked in other parts Of India
for any person who imprudently laid
hands on it found the long hairs
sticking to his fingers and producing
most irritating blisters. If hair
got into a mans eye, it set up an in
flammation that sometimes ended in
blind IS. When horde of these
hairy caterpillars Unexpectedly in
vaded tea garden in Assam one
morning, the effects were most dis
astrous to the native laborers, or
coolies, whose naked legs and feet
came in contact with them.
The women and the children who
are employed in plucking the shoots
and leaves of the tea plants soon
found their hands and arms singing
with pain from the hairs of the cat
erpillars that they had fearlessly but
imprudently handled. Before the
mornings work could be finished
sixty of the men, women and chill
dren were obliged to go to the medi-
cal officer for relief, with their hands
or feet blistered and suppurating.-
