hours the officer went to wake his pris-
oner, whom he found dead. He had

EXPRESIDENT HARRISON says that the
best thing outside Republicans can do is
to keep their fingers and noses on: of
New York politics. He adds that the
result of the election in New York is of
momentous importance. The fact is
that the Republicans are exactly the op-
posite of sure in regard to carrying New
York this year. Aside from their fac
ton fights, which are of uncommon bit
terness, the constitutional convention is
an elephant on their hands which they
can neither give away nor afford to keep
The New York Democrats appear to be
managing affairs with great prudence,
and they believe that their prospects are
from fair to good for electing their can
didates.

A SUIT has been brought against a
New York millionaire for $500 for the
use of an incubator for lis days. A
premature baby, weighing two pounds
at her birth, by the use of the incubator
was kept so nicely warmed that she de-
veloped into a fine, fat and healthy
child; and now the ungrateful parentre-
fuses to pay 50 day in compensation
for such a unique and successful ser
vice. The determination of this suit
will involve some novel points of law.

WE have no fear that the country will
go back to McKiuleyism or demand the
undoing of what has been done in tariff
reform. If we had such fear we should
only work more patiently and systemat-
ically to convince the people of the dan
ger lying in that direction. But we
have none. The elections in Maine and
Vermont are the expression of the feel
ing of thinly settled communities, large
ly rural, as to the immediate past, which
has not been cheerful or encouraging.
The Republicans stuck closely to their
own tickets. The Democrats were di-
vided and showed evidence of the dis
contents, not to say disgust, aroused by
the treachery in the senate.

Washington, September 1.-THE first
matter that occupied the attention of
Secretary Herbert to day when he re-
turned to the navy department, after
five weeks absence, was that of re-en-
forcing the Asiatic squadron, and, after
brief consultation with Secretary
Gresham, he issued preliminary orders
to the commanders of the Machlas and
Detroit to prepare to proceed to China as
soon as possible. The Machias will car
ry the columbian relics, which were ex-
hibited at Chicago last year, leavin 9

THE variations in the price of sugar,
says the Pittsburg Post, are something
past finding out. OF course, the whole
thing is in the hands of the sugar trust
Immediately after the passage of the
new tariff bill it advanced sugar one
eight. \ little later it put on another
eight, making an advance of a quarter
of cent a pound, presumably as a re
suit of the higher duties on raw sugar of
the new tariff. Some days ago a cut
was ordered of an eighth, and yesterday
another reduction to the same amount.
so that sugar was selling yesterday
in Pittsburg for the same p rice it did be
fore the new tariff imposing a duty on
raw sugar of about a cent pound went
into effect. Either the trust was max
ing extraordinary profits before the new
tariff, or it has concluded to be satisfied
with little less under the new schedule,

Business, says the Philadelphia Times,
is visibly helping itself, and it will i'm |
prove rapidly despite all the calamity
howlers and pull-back and reckless
partisans who seem to fear the speedy
return to general prosperity in industry
and trade. This improved tide cannot
now be checked by either political or
speculative interest, and every good cit
izen should do his part manfully to
strengthen public confidence and benefit
every class and condition of the people
This country has had a year or more
of sore financial and industrial depres-
sion 1t has not been exceptional IN
that misfortune On the contrary, II
has been even less unfortunate than
most Of the countries of Europe. The
business and industrial depression that
we have felt has prevailed throughout
| the world, and we are fortunate in hav>
ing such boundless resources, energy and
| adaptability as enable us to recover from
| these business revulSiOns much quicker
thar any other civilization of the earth
Long before the nations of Europe shall
have recovered from the paralysis that
has swept over the country, the United
States will be squarely on its feet again
and prosperity will be general in every
section and in every channel of enter
prise.
Let every good citizen help business
| The man who howls about business ca
lamity, and who Is constantly predicting
! its long continuance and belittling eve
~ advance that Is made in the line of
Improvement is the enemy of our civlh-
| zation. There are times when such
men can do measurable harm. and
under all circumstances they must be
more OF less harmful until they are ut:
terly overwhelmed by the trust and ener-
gy of the American people. The way to
make them less harmful is simply to
spurn them and their gloomy cOunseIs,
| cast them aside as common enemies and
compel them to go to the rear and
fall in with the procession that Is now
advancing toward period OF nation
al prosperity that promises to be one of
the soundest and most enduring of mod
ern times.
Let every COED citizen help business.
1t is helping itself bravely, and it will
succeed in winning over all the GROWERS
of the age in a very brief period, but it
can be greatly accelerated in its benef-
cent movement by the hearty support
of all who are interested in public trust
and national prosperity.

Mrs. d. \. Rodgers, the sister of Gen
John \ Logan, who attempted suicide
by taking morphine, at Murphysboro,
last "Wednesday, died there on Saturday
night. Her weakened system and dis

Rodgers for several years managed the
Logan House, the chief hostelry of the
town. Her last husband-W. S. Rogers
now divorced, was member of the
famous 1O3 of the Thirty fourth Illinois
Legislature, which, on May 10, 1886,
elected General Logan to the United
States senate and shaped his course for
the vice presidential nomination. Mrs.

SENATOR Faulkner, of West Virginia,
says that the improvement in business
has frightened Democratic prospects,
and he believes that the party will elect
majority of the next congress. On the
other hand, Senator Sherman, while
presuming that the country will ulti-
mately adjust itself to the new industri-
al conditions expresses great confidence
that the Republicans will control the
next congress. The difference between
the two judgments is that while Senator
FaUlkner's is based on existing condi.
tions known to all newspaper readers,
the Ohio statesman relegates the busi-
ness revival to dim futurity, and offers
no reason whatever for his great conf
denee" IN his party's success.
