For a democrat, Congressman Harter
OF Ohio, has some good, sound ideas.
He was invited to speak at a labor meet
ing in Washington, some days ago, as to
what should be done to remedy the evils
of hard times. Unable to go, he sent a
letter, which expressed his ideas on the
subject, and which is worthy of perusal
because of it's blunt p~lainness. He says:
"a little everyday common sense, indus
try, economy, and hopefulness will
hasten the return Of good times, but
avoid quack remedies, quack congress-
mar and crank senators, and when such
worthless tell you we must put up the
price OF silver, wheat, grindstones, tulips
or toadstools to the figures they com
manded in the days of Adam, of George
Washington, or even in 1871 say when
such ideas are advanced, put cotton in
your ears and keep on at your calling.
The troubles we are having are the out
growth of simon pure ~paternalism and
when these few changes are made in our
present methods, and we then return to
Amerlcanism in it's purity, that is,
to personal, Individual self reliance,
our troubles will fade away as
the mist flies before the rising sun.
Ii, however, we go Oh in the mad chase
after prosperity, under the leadership Of
the Coxeys, PETERS, Bland, ETC., we will
find harder times and greater suffering
ahead OF us. You may say, or I may be-
lieve that all OF the men named are very
good fellows, frst-class fathers, hus-
bands, and neighbors, quite well-mean-
mig and highly ~commendable men in
every sense, and ! only use their names
to identify the various crazes, wild ideas,
vagaries, and cranky notions they have
urged and advocated), but they must in
{ jure all they lead and will bankrupt
any nation. Men with level heads and a
fair share Of good, common, everyday
sense, are at adiscount these times; but
if the country follows cranks much long.

UNLESS the attorneys of Mr.. Patrick
Eugene Joseph Prendergast should dis
owe some new process of law, whereby
they can disentangle him again from the
meshes CT justice and have his execution
once more postponed, to him
for some new trouble as yet unknown,
it is probable that he will swing on July
18th. Mr.. Prendergast certainly cannot
complain of having been railroaded to
the gallows. 1t has been eight months
since the commission of the crime for
which he has been twice sentenced to
die. He has had the advantage Of every
opportunity of escaping from the pun
ishment provided by l.w, which could
be discovered by the keenest and
shrewdest of lawyers. No province of
the courts has been overstepped in his
trials. One fair ard impartial jury found
him guilty of the crime as charged.
Another has declared him sound, sane
and responsible for his actions, and all
which remains is to carry out the sentence
which has been pronounced upon him.
That Prendergast knew what he did
when he ran up the steps of the Harri-
son mansion On the night of the 28th of
October last, asked for Mayor Harrison,
and then deliberately murdered him,
when he responded to the call, no one
can doubt. That he realized his crime
is proven by his having surrendered him
self. That he has all along understood
the danger of punishment is proven by
his crafty of his act in court,
and his attempts at all times to justify
himself. There is no need of sympathy
for P~rendergast. The recent assassina-
tion of President Carnot is the legiti-
mate result OF dealing too leniently
with such fanatics as he.

In the temporary surcease of commu-

In the temporary surcease of commu-
nication between Bismarck and the effete
east, the TRIBUNE would suggest that
every one keep cool. If a few cobwebs
cluster about the general delivery window
at the postofice, and if the moss
gathers for a day or so on the rails and
ties of the Northern Pacific, there is
nothing to be gained by any undue
excitement. The Missouri river has not
yet been affected by the A. R. U. boy
colt, and continues to run on schedule
time. The wheat crop is growing day
by day, and thousands of cattle are fat
tening into round and sleek beefhood, on
the adjacent prairies. There is an
abundance of -four at the mills, and
local markets are we'll supplied with the
~necessaries Of life, as we'll as the luxur-
les. The Preside story paper may not
arrive this week, but in all probability
next week will see it safely here, ard it
will be all the more interesting then to
discover whether or not he married the
girl, or who stole the jewels. If the
spirit becomes restless, consider the
Coxeyites, how they grow. They toll
not, neither do they spin, and yet Solo
mon in all his glory was not arrayed like
unto them. If there is a lack of excite
ment, the crop is mosquitoes, which are
just attaining maturity, will be found a
never-failing source of interest. The
present tie up is neither pleasant nor
desirable, but it will be Of no avail to get
into a perspiration over it.

COMMENTING on anarchy and the an
archists in the Nation to-day, the New
York Tribune brings into prominence a
question which has an important bearing
on social conditions to-day. The argu-
ment is drawn from the rebuke which
Governor Crounse, Of Nebraska, admin
istered the other day to Professor
George D. Heron, of Grinnell college,
Iowa. The professor occupies a chair Of
applied Christianity in the college
named, and on the occasion in question
was delivering an address at the com
mencement of the University of Ne
braska 90 1.-The New Political Vision"
In the course of this address he declared
that every one knows there is no justice
in the courts, inasmuch as the judiciary
of this country Is thoroughly corrupt,
and that both houses of Congress are
under the influence of the money power.
The governor, who was present, made a
manly and dignifed protest against this
sort of talk, which he said was on a par
with that uttered by men like John
Most. OF the incident, the Tribune
wisely says: "The incident forcibly
calls attention to a type Of dangerous
anarchism that is becoming very prevail
ent to-day. We refer to the speculative
and doctripaire anarchism of a few men
of education-chieAy clergymen, college
professors and social reformers. These
men are really far more dangerous than
the criminal fanatics who throw loaded
dynamite bombs into a crowd OF innocent
men and women. For they are men of
character, standing and good impulses,
whose indictments to anarchy and law
lessness are for that very reason listened
to and followed by men who would turn
away in horror and disgust from the raw
ings of a Most. We would not deny
that the intentions of these doctrinaire
anarchists and pessimists are good, or
that they sincerely believe what they say.
On the contrary, we would urge that as
the most serious Indictment against
them. For their study of sociology has
afflicted them with a mental strabismus
and intellectual color blindness, by reas-
on of which they become unfit to speak
on any subject relating to social order.
This reforming ardor so grows upon
them that it finally becomes a disease;
and instead of trying to remedy the
evils of which they complain by the slow
ana orderly processes of evolution and
education, they denounce the whole
social system with the blind fury of a
lhersites. The menace to society from
men of the John Most type is not very
serious. They are ~self-confessed out
laws, whose criminal violence and I'M
reason must always prevent them from
having a large number of followers.
But when we'll meaning clergymen, col
lege professors, religious editors and
social reformers indulge in wholesale
denunciations Of the civilization whose
comforts and luxuries they do not
scruple to enjoy to the full, they are
striking a blow at law and order that
makes them criminals i effect, though,
of course, not in intention"

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
Three young ladies' who attended church
yesterday found themselves in a very en-
barrassing position. One of Them owns a
song book which she always carries with
her when attending service. 1t happened
that a bottle of whisky was broken on the
book Saturday night but the cover dried
quickly and the Odor was not noticea BILE
while passing through the streets. When
the church was reached and the heated air
began to have its effect on the soaked
leaves there went throughout the sacred
eiilce a breath of liquor that must have
reminded the shocked preacher of a large
distillery. The young ladies blushed and
thought a good many unpleasant things.
but to get up and go out would be to admit
that they had brought in the whisky. In
sheer despair one of them sat on the book
hoping thereby to improve the situati IN
but il was Intellectual The service seemed
an age long to them, and when X was over
the song book that had inspired so nlanv
thoughts of toddies was cast into the
deepest depths of a street sewer, where it
probably Intoxicated the rats.

HE PLAYED THE FIDDLE,
Why One Candidate Was Not Appofnt-
ed to Oface.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The secret of the manner in which A.
Halter Gross was turned down and Dr.
Eugene Townsend chosen for the mint Is
amusing. Mr.. Lowery, who was put for
ward the candidate Of the regular
organization, was practically out OF the
fight a week after Mr. Harrity had named
him. McAleer. who saw this, pushed Mr.
Gross with all his strength. He was very
successful with Secretary Carlisle. and the
President also for long time was favor
ably disposed toward his candidate: then
somebody told the President and the Sec
rotary terrible thing about Mr. Gross
winch changed the current of favorable
FEELING decidedly. Mr.. McAleer could not
discover the cause of the change, but finally
1t was intima;ed to him in such way that
he was nearly dumfounded. \ friend az
the Secretary broke the news TO him in
these words:
The President and the Secretary. Mr..
McAleer, liked Mr.. Gross very well. but
they had been informed of fact that rem
ders his selection for so important a BUSH
ness office at least problematical."
All. said Mir. McAleer. what is ths
reason?"
They say that he is not exactly the man
for such a place. because. as they have
been informed, he, he"
We'll, he what%'
enough for the Office because he writes
poetry and plays the fiddle"
Mr.. McAleer wilted for the first time In
his life.
Here is the story OF the selection OF
Townsend. After it was clear that l.owcry
had been knocked out and while Singerly
was looking about for candidate OF his
own, ex-Magistrate Lennon was talking on
Chestnut street about the matter with
another friend OF the commodores. Or.
Townsend, dressed with his usual punctili-
Gus regard for the fashion, walked by them.
and Dick, catching sight of him, was struck
with a brilliant idea, and he said. pointins
to Townsend:
THAT is the man for the mint"
"A good idea" said friend No. z ThA'
is the man for the mint"
Friend No. hurried up to Commodore
Singerly and told him OF their combnSd
thought. The commodore pondersd Tor
moment and then exclaimed:

FOR THE BABY.
What He should Wear When One
ScrP-Dld.
From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
First warm shirt. large as can be
used, to allow for shrinking: two flannel
skirts, one to button to a cotton waist and
one with flannel sleeveless waist long
wooden stockings, gartered to the waist, and
Il thin dress
If drawers are to be worn they should be
buttoned to the waist and take the place of
flannel skirt. The drawers should be
flannel or some wooden material. with or
without thin cotton dra werS over them.
If warmer dresses than the ordinary white
dresses are used there will be no need of the
flannel waist TO the underskirt. The waist
called double w is strong anu we'll shaped.
The shoes need not be heavy, for the baby
will probably ride in his carriage, but feet
and legs can hardly be wrapped too warmly
for riding
A long cloak, which Is loose enough for an
extra jacket inside, is most convenient.
Many pretty caps come for boys, and the
little close bonnets are pretty for all babies.
With mttens and plenty of carriage wraps
and a veil for the windy days he will be
well provided.
