THE PRESIDENTS LETTER.

1t is safe to say that no letter of ac-
ceptance written by a candidate for the
presidency has been read with so great
interest by the mass of intelligent peo-
pie as will be that which President Harrl-
son has given to the country through
the press this morning. This interest
In President Harrison's letter Is due in
no small degree to the fact that the mass
of people have learned that whatever
he says or writes bears the impress of a
mind of rare power and of thorough
conviction in his own utterances. This
letter will be read with a greater inter-
est because it has been understood
that the President would present
the achievements of his admins
tration and the policy of tie
Republican party. This he has done In
his letter. not because the President has
any explanation to make for any act of
the administration or the Republican
Congress. but TO vindicate the wisdom
of that policy and the acts in harmony
with it. Topic by topic the President
has taken up the legislation of the Re-
publican Congress and the acts of the
administration to carry that legislation
into effect. Each feature of this leRis-
lative policy of the Republican Congress
and the responsive action of the admin.
istratiOn he has contrasted with the pro-
claimed policy of the Democratic party.
No intelligent man can say that he has
misrepresented the attitude of either
party. The position of his own
party is set forth i'm the legisla-
ton of the Republican Congress and in
the acts of the administration, while the
policy of the Democratic party, with
which he contrasts his own, is set forth
in the party platforms and in its at
tempts ut legislation. While his oppO-
nents may deny that the excellent re-
suits which have followed the adoption
of the Republican policy are due thereto.
they cannot assert that he has not fairly
stated their position. With a clearness
and power which few men possess the
President has cODtrasted the policies of
the two parties which are the issues of the
campaign. While his arguments are
unanswerable and his statements are
based on experience and results, the
spirit of sincerity and entire conviction
which pervades every sentence adds a
potency which argument of itself does
not possess. The fact that the Presi-
lent believes all that he says carries
weight.
pie of the country have come TO repOse
confidencein the patriotism and capacity
of Benjamin Harrison, and this conf
dence will make the letter the most eff
fective utterance of the campaign.

THE statement of ex-senator Plat, OF
New York, printed in yesterdays Jour-
nal, relative to the attitude he main
tains toward the President, is just what
might be expected of SO thorough a Re.
publican as he has proved himself to be.
He preferred another candidate and did
all in his power to secure his nomina-
ton, partly because he believed that it
would be better for the party and partly
because, in some matters not affecting
the character of the administration, his
expectations had not beer realized. This
is O frank statement. But there vas
never an hour n he had an idea of
not giving the ticket cordial support.
Some things have annoyed him, but for
such annoyances he does not hold the
President responsible. He declares
that the President has given the c0un-
try an excellent administration; that he
is a high-minded, patriotic and con-
s%picuously able man, and a sound Re-
publican. and that General Harrison
will receive the earnest and effective
support of himself and all those with
whom he has influence. Such is the
feeling of ex-senator Plat, and snch
must be the feeling of every true Re.
publican.

TIE GERRYMANDER ATTACKED.

Yesterday a petition was presented to
the Circuit Court. in Henry county, for
an injunction restraining the sheriff of
that county from issuing warrants for
the election of members of the next
Legislature under the present apportion-
ment, and for a writ of mandamus re-
curing him to issue warrants for h
election of members of the Legislature
under the apportionment of 1879. The
array of facts proving that the present
and the preceding apportionments are
unconstitutional and destructive Of the
principle of representative government.
are sufficient to satisfy any un-
prejudiced citizen that the petition
is based in equity. In Wlscon-
sin and Michigan, Supreme Courts
made up of Judges OF both
political parties have set aside legis-
lative apportionments which are less
vicious than the present and preceding
appointments in this State. With the
provisions of the constitutions essen
tally the same, the Supreme Courts

reason why the result will not be the
same in Indiana. The names of the

the proceedings have been begun with a
view to a faithful and vigorous prosecu-
ton. The movement ia backed by the
best sentiment i'm the State. Not only is

of the overthrow of the %iniquity, but a
similar demand comes from the inde-

business men of the State. who see the
evils Of the present system, by which a
large portion of the State has been
robbed of equal representation in that
branch of the State government which
imposes taxes and expends public money.
Evils of this kind are rapidly progress

injustice than that of 1885. If allowed
to go on the gerrymander of 1897 will be

4 Bettin. Captain.

The captain of one rather old and slow
steamer, finding that he would have to he
a long time in China before he received a
full cargo of tea, and would have probably
to return in ballast, began, to every ones
establishment, to say that, owing to the
repairs that had been done to his engines,
he hoped to make a racing passage. Then,
still more to the establishment of the cap
tains of the fast steamers and the world at
large, he commenced to back himself TO
make the fastest passage home.
In such very considerable sums of money
did he wager that people began to think
there was something in it, and the mer-
chants sent their tea almost entirely to his
ship, arguing that, as the captain stood to
lose $500, the repairs to his steamers en-
gines had probably put him in position
to bet almost on certainty.
OF course the steamer, whose greatest
speed was eight knots an hour, arrived in
England weeks after the others, and the
captain lost his $500; but instead of having
to lie in China waiting his chance of cargo
coming in from the interior-a probable de
lay of weeks-he had cleared in Il few days,
after his bets became known to the public,
with full ship. thus recouping to his
owners, who of course paid his betting
losses, a considerable number of thousands
of pounds profit. -Blackwood' 5 Magazine.

..rhe castlsd Rhine, Today.


TIE whole course of what used to be
called the castled Rhine now looks like the
lower Thames and smells like Shoreditch
or Bermondsey. We see panoramic de-
velopment of all the more offensive trades
and guilds of the Middle Ages. Formerly
the Rhenish industries were mainly con-
centrated in the fiourishing principality of
WED, colonized originally by the hard
working Moravians, or they had been car
ried on from time immemorial in primitive
fashion, as in the manufacture of the mill
stones at Nieder- Mendig. Now the steamer
carries you through volumes of smoke, be
tween double line of cloth mills. chemical
works, lime kilns and brick fields-ot
everything, i'll fact, that is lucrative, I'M
wholesome and prosaic.
Nor does the evil end there. The spirited
proprietors of these enterprises have been
rapidly growing rich and have been hous-
ing themselves as BELTS their rising for
tunes. They have been transmogrifying
and adding to venerable castles; they have
been running up sumptuous mansions OF
the florid composite order in the suburbs OF
the cities, and one of the most audacious OF
the nouveaux riches has actually seated
himself on the summit of the castled crag

Now For Hamr ME.


The New York Press says it was the
only organ in that city that several wee ks
previous to the extremely importsnt cleo
tons of Waterford and Rossendale place d
in the hands of its readers reliable infor-
nation SIS to the positions and prospects
Of success of the parties engaged. The
result in each case proved how accurate
was the information furnishe d its readers.
Rossendale has been captured by the
Gladstone home rulers, ably assisted by
some Irish national members CT parlia-
ment, and not since Mr.. Gladstone intro-
duced the home rsle bill in 1886 was
there a more distinctly English pro-
nouncement on the question. The Irish
vote in Rossendale was of small account,
so that this great victory, which places
Irish home rule firmly in the foreground
Of English politics, was PROFESSIONALLY
won by English votes. and is true ex>
preston of English opinion thereon. 1t
augers well for the final success OF the
Irish cause.
But that which is to follow, and follow
soon. Will be immensely more important
that is. a general election, as by it will be
settled forever the long vexed question
No other course is open to an honorable
administration. RosseDdale has given
notice to the conservative ministry, of
which the Marquis of Salisbury is the
head, that its conduct of affairs in general
and as regards home rule in particular, is
not in harmony with the peoples ideas.
Therefore, if political events follow in
regular order we must logically conclude
that dissolution of the ministry will soon
occur, and the people of the United King
dom be afforded an opportunity to vote
home rule for Ireland and send William
E Glandsone into office to complete the
great work to which he has devoted the
asst years of his political life. had the
government been successful in Rossen-
dale they could point to it and say with
some show of reason, indeed. that they
held the confidence of the nation; but the
result proves the contrary, and there is
nothing left for them but dissolution, and
that on day in the near future. Sooner
than many imagine there will be q grea,
political struggle in the United Kingdom,
and the standard around which the battle
will iercely rage will bear the words
"Home Rule"
