character of the long line of Republicans
who have preceded him in the presidential
chair.
So We commend to the Republicans of

the administration and the unstinted

answering fidelity to our party, and pre-
sent his name for delegate -at-large from

tably the alien land law and the famous
separate coach law, and we invite the earn
est cooperation of ali citizens in an effort
to repudiate the same as an unwarrantei
interference with the liberty Of the in

CHICAGO. Ill, Feb. 2A-In the face of
general denials, special dispatch from
Detroit says Frank Hurd of Ohio, an
avowed Cleveland man, slipped quietly into
Ann Arbor Monday and together with Gov
ernor Campbell and two or three Michigan
Democrats had long conference with
Cleveland in his private car. The ex-presi-
dent was assured the West was largely in
his favor and with proper management he
might snap his fingers at Hill and New York
and secure the nomination. Palmer was
siucere in his allegiance and would squelch
any opposition in Illinois. while Ohio was
here in Governor Campbell himself to vouch
for its loyalty. Then should any unseen
contingency arise to oyerwhelm the ex-
president he could turn his strength over
to Campbell and defeat Hill at his own
game. This ut least is the plan outlined by
gentlemen in the confidence of the mana
gers here.

Allison in the Field.

DUBUQUE. Iowa. Feb. 25.-The Iowa dele
cation will go to Minneapolis instructed for
Allison.
This is inferred fromthe admitted fact that
the Iowa senator can have the delegation
for the asking. and from the further fact
that the mission of Ex-Governor Gear of
Burlington to Dubuque this week. as it has
leaked out, was made by him, the occasion
for interviewing Allison's intimate friends
here.
When Gear left Dubuque it was with the
understanding that the Allison boom would
be formally launched at the state conven-
ton, March II. Gear said he determined
upon this the minute he read Blaine's with
drawal. He managed Allison's canvass at
Chicago four years ago.
The basis Of Allison's candidacy IS that
he is the only Republican who can be
trusted to carry Iowa, especially against
Boies.-

Fallacy frequently Preached by So
called Experts Exploded.

A great deal OF mlsapprehension Is
often found to exist In the popular mind
In regard TO matters OF eating and drink
ing; the cause OF this to some extent is TO
be traced to old-time sayings. which have
come down TO US in the form OF con-
centratcd infusion OF somebody's opinion
upon subject OF which he or she was
wofully ignorant. One OF these mlsap-
prehensions TO which we may refer Ia as
TO the injuriousness OF taking fluid wit
meals. One frequently hears IL laid down
rs a maxim that lit Is bad 10 drink with
your meals, IL dilutes the gastric Juice.
BY the way OF explanation we may re-
mark that lit implies that the fluid taken
is harmful" Whence this sagacious pos
tulate originally came we cannot tell; II
has quite the ring about IL OF an inconse-
quent deduction formed by person
whose presumption OF knowledge was only
exceeded by a lamentable ignorance oi
the subject. Medical men often find muc
difficulty In dealing with these museum
specimens OF antiquated science, for even
educated persons are disposed TO cling to
the absurdities OF their youth.
Upon this matter Mr.. Hutchinson re-
marks In the last number of his Archives I.
observe with pleasure that the verdict
OF general experience and common sense

justified on strict scientific grounds.
ITO take fluids with the meals is almost
as important an adjunct to digestion as

was to be played by the company which
will present this rural comedy here. All
has been amicably settled and this organ
ization, which is under the immediate di-
rection of c. b. jefferson, Klaw & Erlang-
er, will positively appear. Marie Bates
part played by Mr.. Burgess in Boston, has
made unqualified hits in the larger cities.

Every item and feature will be exploited
admirably aud the "husking zee, scene
and the running horse race will be pre-
sented just as effectively on the Provi-
dence stage as on the Union Square and
Park stages.
1t is needless to expatiate on the charm
ing qualities of this play. 1t Is intended
70 depict certain phases of New England
life in the neither Vermont. The central
figure is Abigail Prue, a prim, prudish
and practical spinster, whose quaint say
ings, volubility and antic disposition
keeps the audience in a constant roar.
Around her revolves certain well-known
characters; there is the crusty farmer
mortgage; a precocious waif sent down
from the City mission; mite OF a jockey
and a pure and tender young. girl whose
life has been spent meath the shade of
cherry blossoming trees. II is picture
of the commonplace tinged with idylli-
cism, and sensationalism is furnished in
the race which may be described as to all
intents and purposes an actual start and
finish, and so clever is the counterfeit that
with very little imagination the auditor
can picture himself in the ampitheatre Of
the old county fair watching with thrill
ing interest an exciting equine contest
upon the issue of which depends the fate
OF a worthy old woman.
