President Harrison seems not to be
general favorits with his party. The
papers, whose editors have places. praise
him, and all the Federal ofics-holders
are loyal te him Ia perfunctory way, but
there IS no popular ecstasy Of enthusiasm
about bin, showing that the people love
him for his kindllness and his greatness.
Some people. indeed, have the notion,
which Of course, must be erroneous, shat
he is selfish and sardonic
The result Of the primaries ia PhIladel-
phis has tendency to confirm the gen
eral Impression that Mr.. Harrison is not
popular, and that II he obtains the nomi-
nation for the Presidency, It win be be-
cause Blaine does not dare to take it, and
because nobody else can exercise enough
influence on the Southern postmasters
and Northern tin plate fanatics TO With
stand the Harrison phalanx In the con
vention
The opposition to President Harrison
emanates from Indiana, where he is
known best; from Kansas, where Senn-
tor Ingalls, said he had not friend, and
from Pennsylvania, where the largest
and steadiest Republican majority exists.
He has been taking very active meas
ures to secure Harrison delegation from
Indiana, and It is said, he has succeeded.
The history o. his efforts ID New York
are well known because recent. He
turned out postmasters, collectors and
subordinates quickly and summarily
in order to give Mr.. Platt the
entire control 70 elect Fassett.
and to send a solid delegation for Har-
rison to Minneapolis Fasset failed and
the two factions, Miller and Platt are al
each others throats In Pennsylvania
Quay has whipped the entire Harrison
Foster Wanamaker combine.
Thus It is evident, il any evidence is
needed. that President Harrison is not
popular; that II he Is chosen for the
nominee he will have the support Of those
who would support tin plate monkey,
a colored preacher. or anything the Re.
publican convention puts up, not for love
Of the thing itself, but because the party
hacks have put 1t up.

STORIES OF The DAY.


Several days ago a West street house
wife determined to have corn-sfarch pud-
ding with vanilla dressing for dessert
She sent to a well known pharmacy
for bottle OF extract OF vanilla. In due
time her messenger returned with The
desired havoring extract and she made
the pudding.
It was served at dinner time. One
member OF the family poured dressing
over the pudding, and made very wlY
face when he took the frst spoonful
BY this time the housewife had seated
herself, after serving the others She
took a mouthful OF the dessert, and
turning TO the others, asked:
docs this corn starch taste peculiar to
You.'
BY this time they had all tasted it,
ana there was general exclamation.
1T does
Au examination OF the bottle OF extract
showed that the drug clerk had filed the
bottle with laudanum instead Of vanilla
extract
CONSERVATION was depicted upon every
face. The housewife sent what was left
Of the deadly drug back TO the druggist
He was profuse in his apologies, and paid
for the dessert concomitants that had
been spoiled.

No sound reason can be given why this
government should have approprlat ted
500, 600 for the relief OF the people OF
Russia. In the first place, we know very
little about the necessities OF the people
and In the second place, 10 is not func-
tion Of this government TO take paternal
care even Of our own people, much less
of the people Of other countries. This
government is to be supported by the
people; the people are not to
be supported by the government.
This is not the theory OF the Russian
government. The theory on which it
lives permits and requires It to exercise
paternal care and allows it absolute con
troll over the persons and property Of its
subjects It can send them to Siberia
and take their property to add to the
support Of Imperial splendor or for the
relief Of squalor among the serfs, This is
a constitutional government and though
the provisions Of that grand instrument
have been stretched marvelously Ia
granting bonuses to private industries
aud IN bestowlng pensions, those abuses
are nol TO serve as presidents for worse
abuses Those people who feel sad that
we cannot have both constitutional and
an imperial government at the same time
belong to the Reed party which main
tains that Congress Is not deliberstive
body and that junta Of three men, who
make the rules to suppress debate. may
decide what money this people are to ex-
pend and how they are to expend Il. The
constitution does not warrant that view
and the sooner the loyal, conservative
and economical statesmen Of the Demo
cratic party lead us back to a proper view
Of the functions Of this government Of
the people the better.

n Now A0rk transportation BOARD Talks
OF Constructing 1t.
At the meeting Of the New York
Board Of Trade and Transportation yes
tsrdey, Professor Lewis, Mr. Haupt and
Thomas Martiadale Of Philadelphia ap-
peared to advocate the construction OF a
ship canal across New Jersey from New
York to Philadelphia hsrbor
In the course of his address Mr.. Mar
tindale said that he hoped the present
meeting would be the opening wedge Of
movement that would not only result
in the building Of ship canal or water
way connecting the waters of the lower
New York bay with the Delaware river.
but that the completion OF the
canal would be the first link Of a compre-
henSive interior waterway, reaching
from New York buy to Florida and from
the sea coast line Of Florida over TO the
gulf coast. thus connecting the Gulf Of
Mexico with New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore. Norfolk, Savannah ana Jack
souvile, making the commerce OF the
Mississippi interchangeable with that Of
the Atlantic seaboard and vice versa.
1t is very hard to overestimate the i'm
portance Of such a project, or the beRe-
fits to the nation at large from a milf
lArY, rs well as an ECONOMIC point OF
view. The opening up Of lands at pres
ent totally unproductive and compare
tively valuless along the whole Of this
immense stretch OF navigable waterway
would quickley stimulate the
growth Of factory, village, town and city
development, making practically the
desert to blossom as the rose, with the
pulsating throb Of the steala engine and
the tread Of thousands upon thousands OF
busy artisans who would find their living
aud their dwelling places along its path
way.
We desire. therefore, to consider the
ship canal between New York and Phils.
delphie as the FIRST LAX in this chain
but what Of the first link:
First We believe it to be thoroughly
practicable
Second We believe It will result 10 a
great saving In freights both to Phila-
delphia and New York, but particularly
TO New York.
Third That we believe II is Rmost a
necessity at the present time and will be-
come more so in the future.
