GENFP4L HARRISON Nv INDIANA.

Ex.Presi,Ient Harrison has received hearty
welcome from the Republican Convention OF
Indiana and broken his scf-impOscd silence
unon political questions Of the day Since MS
rotirement from Washington he has been rellc-
tont from motives OF dellcacy and respect Tor
the high office which he once held, 10 take an
active part In the politics Of the time. Now
that a wear has passed. he has come ~ the
rational conclusion that an ex-Presidcnt ought
not TO lose his citizenship and that it is not I'M
dicnffod for any man. whatever station he may
have occupied. to discuss great public questions
calmly and temptrately. His address to me
State Convention was characterized by modera-
ton and gravity. and by his wonted lucidity Oh
statement 1t was an uncompromising Repub
lican speech, but no partisan critic could take
exception TO it as unjust or undignfed. When
ex-Presidents can speak in that way ihey eau
not be heard too frequently on the great ques-
tions Of the day.
General ITarrson's two leading thoughts were
first, the revival Of the Protective doctrine
wrought under pressure Of hard times, CONNER

country could know that there would be no al

lcrislation' He also atiirmS that there are
clear indications in England and Germany of
the growth of opinion in favor Of an intcrna-
tional agreement respecting silver. and believes
that If It be rightly and wisely encouraged ana
directed from America, the great nations VIII
be speedily brought into accord on this question
General Harrson's reception ut Indianapolis
was an enthusiastic greeting to statesman
who has always been honored and respected in
his own State and among his own people. The
welcome was emphasized by the transformation
which had been wrought IN the industrial and
business conditions of the country since his
withdrawal from public life Indiana RepuD-
licans remembered. when they saw his familiar
face and heard his calm. hopeful words. now

LORD ROSEBERY'S TACILL4TION

Lord Rosebery has made another speech
which will have 10 be explained away. He has
declared that the English people are weary Of
the unendng struggle for and against Irish
coercion, and has appealed to Unionists for
support He has asked them whether 1t is
worth their while to hold aloof from the Liberal
party. at least apart from Irish questions and
has proclaimed the determination Of the Gov
ernment to maintain the unity Of the Empire
abroad and in the best sense Of the word. the
unity Of the three Kingdoms at home. There is
nothing in this which cannot be recOnciled with
the continuance OF the Home Rule policy Mr.
Gladstone, if he were in office. would declare
that the establishment OF separate Parliament
In Dublin would promote the unity of The three
kingdoms in the best sense Of the word Lord
Rosebery has carefully revised his phrases so
as 10 be able to interpret them with facility, If
he be called upon TO explain them Bul his
whole attitude Is cquiyocal. He Is deliberately
making advances 10 the Anti Home Rule Lib
erals. and opening a way for a reunion Of the
party. That will be the Irish Interpretation of
his speech.

Much time and great pains have been taken
in selecting the second jury to try Dr. III. c..
+. Meyer, whose first trial for murder failed on
account of the illness of one Of the jurors. The
panel was finally completed yesterday. 1t is
the general opinion Of those familiar with trials
in our criminal courts that more intelligent
jury is rarely selected in the General Sessions.
This is as IL should be, in view Of the peculiar
character of the case, which makes necessary
a large amount Of expert testimony. Assistant
District-Attorney Mcintyre will make his open
ing address to the jury this morning. He has
been indefatigable in preparing his case, and
since the close of the previous trial he has, it
is understood, obtained important evidence in
substantiation Of the story which will be told
again by Muller, the accomplice Of Meyer.

There is not much doubt that Tillman and

ton with more vrulence than any OF the forms
of alcoholic stimulant which have just been judici-

Park Commissioner Bell made some interesting
and enghtenng statements at the meeting OF
the Park Board yesterday. He had given some
attention to the work done by Tammany labor
ers who had been employed by the Park De-
partment to cut out rock at Seventh-ave and
One-hundred-a and-ffty-third-st. The men were
lOunging about and not trying to accomplish
anything. They did not recognize Mr. Bell. and
did not know that he was Park Commissioner
He asked one of them why he was not working
and received this reply: Say we got soft snap
here. and we're going TO make it last az long
as possible" That tells the story Of the way In
which Tammany laborers loaf away their time
in the Park Department. the Dock Department
and every other department Of the city govern
ment. as all the departments controlled by
Tammany Hall. Every Tammany voter is look
ing for soft snap" and almost all the Tam
many voters get soft snaps" at the expense OF
the taxpayers.
