Applause. One of them was down
in the Thirty-fourth Ward, the
farthest one off, where the king-bee
of my opponents lived; there the pri-
mary voting place was boarded up and
a man had to put his hand in small
hole to put in his ballot. Another
was in the Twelfth Ward-it was also
boarded up. The third was in the
primary in the barn of that celebated
Michael Cassius Mcdonald, of Chi
cago, who voted against me. There
the hole was so high up that man
could not see inside, but he put in his
ballot up there and somebody got it
from the inside.

Mr.. Harrison then said that if he
did not believe that he was fitted for
the arduous labor Of running the city
of Chicago during the next two years
he would be scoundrel. He had
confidence in himself or he would
not ask for votes. When he first
came before the people Of Chicago in
1879 as candidate for the Mayor
atty he entered the race with anxiety,
almost with fear and trembling. The
Mayoralty had in the past been the
Graveyard Of ambition. A man could
be elected, but was rarely ever able
TO be elected the second time, and
generally ended 50 unpopular that he
was never able 20 be elected the third.

Marshall Field, the great mer-
chant, who ranks at the head of the
mercantile interests of Chicago, has
declared in favor of the election OF
Carter II. Harrison for Mayor of Chi
cago.
Although Republican, he cannot
stomach Allerton, and his interests
in Chicago are too great to permit OF
his supporting any one but a we'll
tried man for the position of Mayor
of this great city.
To number OF his friends, em-
ployes and acquaintances generally,
Mr.. Field declared himself in favor
of Harrison's election on Wednesday
and Thursday.
There was a great outpouring Of
erman-Americans, Thursday night,
to listen to speech from the next
Mayor of Chicago. Mr. Harrison was
in excellent voice. He said:
81 have spoken many times IN this

IT is a singular fact that class OF
barkeepcrs in Chicago have an as
ISOLATION bound by general rules as
rigorous as any which prevail in
other trade unions, and with an ad-
ditional ironclad rule against inebri-
ETY.. This regulation does not en-
force total abstinence, but is strong
against excesses leading 20 intOxica-
tion. The penalty for drunk is $40
fine and suspension from member
ship. Many OF the members of this
organization are in favor of total
abstinence rule. There is another as
sociation OF bartenders, called the
White knights, the objects OF which
are social and benevolent. This order
has not a rule against bibu.ous ex-
cesses, but chronic Incorporate
habits disqualify an applicant for ad-
mission % It's ranks. 1t is phe-
nomenon that the men standing be-
hind the saloon bars should be mem
bers Of two very effective temperance
organizations.

working several months among the
the sea island sufferers on the South
Carolina coast, and her account of the
destitution is sad, indeed There are
10000 without homes and employ

missioners have been sent to the hut-
to investigate the restitution they had
to talk to the suffering ones through
the crevices Of their huts because the

THE GREAT PENSION ROLL.

The Secretary of the Interior has the
| supervision Of so many important sub
ects that his report is of especial value
and interest
On the Both day of June, 1858. there
were on the pension rolls $50, O12 names,
an increase of S9,944 over the number
on the rolls June so, 1892. OF these
there were II widows and daughters Of
Revolutionary soldiers, IS survivors Of
the War of 1912, 1925 widows of sol
ders of that war, q SIS survivors and
widows of the Mexican War, 1882 sur
vivors and widows OF Indian wars, 2,2S4
army nurses. and AS ,945 survivors and
widows and children Ofdeceased soldiers
and sailors of the War of the Rebellion.
The latter number represenats those
pensioned on account of disabilities or
death resulting from army and navy
service. The number of persons re-
naming on the rolls June 30, 1893,
who were pensioned under the act Of
June 81, lS9O,which allows pensions on
account of death and disability not
chargeable to army service, was 49,
l55.
The number added to the rolls du-
ring the year was 123.634, and the
number dropped was 33,69O. The first
payments on pensions allowed during
the wear amounted to 1913 1856. 54G SO.
This includes arrears, or the accJml.isG-
ton between the time from which, he
allowance of pension dates and the
time of actually granting tie certificate.
Although the law of 1890 permits
pensions for disabilities not related to
military service, yet, as a requisite to its
benefits, disability must exist, inca
pacitating applicants from the perfor
nance of manual labor to such degree
as to render them unable to earn sup
port" The execution of this law in its
early stages does not seem to have been
in accord with Its true intension but
toward the close of the last administra-
ton an authoritative construction was
given to the statue. and since that time
this construction has been followed.
This has had the effect of limiting the
operation of the law to its intended
purpose.
The discovery having been made
that many names had been put upon
the pension roll by means Of wholesale
and gigantic frauds, the Commissioner
suspended payments upon number of
pensions which seemed to be fraudulent
OF unauthorized, pending complete
examination. giving notice to the pen
sloners, in order that they might have
an opportunity to establish, if possible,
the justice Of their claims notwithstanb-

THE TARIFF.

After hard struggle tariff reform is

claims cur attention and nothing 20
clearly presents itself as both an oppor-
tunity and duty-an opportunity to
deserve the gratitude Of our fellow cit
liens and duty imposed upon liz by
our oft repeated professions and by the
emphatic mandate OF the people. At
ter full discussion our c0untrvmen
have spoken in favor of this reform
and they have cOnfided the work Of
those who are solemnly pledged to it.
If there is anything in the theory of a
representation in public officers are
really the servants of the people, and if
promises and professions have any
binding force, our failure to give the
relief so long awaited will be sheer re-
creancy Nothing should intervene tO
distract our attention or disturb our
effort until this reform is accomplish
ed by wise and careful legislation.
While we should stanchly adhere tc
the principle that only the necessity
Of revenue justlties the imposition OF
tariff duties and other federal taxation
and that they should be limited by
strict economy, we cannot close Oul

the removal of restrictions upon the

essary to our manufactures The
world should be open to our national
| ingenuity and enterprise. This can
not be while federal legislation
| through the imposition of high tariff
fOrbids to American manufacturers as
cheap materials as those used by their
competitors. 1t is quite obvious that
the enhancement OF the price Of our
manufactured products resulting from
this policy not only confines the mar
!1et for these products within our own
borders, to the direct disadvantage of
our manufacturers. but also increases
their cost to our citizens.
The interests OF labor are certainly.
though indirectly, involved III this
feature Of our tariff system. The
sharp competitor and active struggle
among our manufacturers to supply
the limited demand for their goods
fill the narrow market to which they
are confined. Then follows a suspen-
sion of work in mills and factories. a

could be made good that a lower rate
Of wages would result from free raw

them quickly to discover that their

raw materials, is the most important
factor in their relation to tariff legisla-
ton.
