The Discovery Made by Philadelphia
Man Who Tried to Make Beer.
anybody can make beer" said John
Logan, shrewd Philadelphian. "Au
you have to do is to get barrel and
put the stuff in and let it work" So
he got an empty barrel and recipe
for making beer. He threw in whole
lot of hops, three bucketfuls of yeast,
five pounds of sugar, half bushel of
finely ground barley and corn meal.
Then he filled up the barrel with boil
ing water, closed the bunghole tight
and left the beer to work. 1t worked,
says the Brewers Review. Logan and
his wife and children were sitting at
supper, a cat was purring near the
kitchen stove, a dog was snoring in the
corner. Suddenly the house shook,
there was rumbling of thunder, a
crashing of glass, the bowling of dog
and the wailing of cat; rain of some
sort, then all was still. The family
rushed to the kitchen. There lay
pieces of slaves and barrel heads scat
tered all over the place, from the cell
ing, and the walls there was dripping
and oozing Shiny liquid, and the frag-.
ments of crockery and glassware were.
strewn over the floor. Unaer the table.

HARREON'S EXPLANATION
Ex-President Gives His Opinion of
Cause of Republican Avalanche.
THE DEMOCRATIC WEAKNESS
4 Party That Fails in Ability to Manage
the Government -Workingmen Who
Voted Their Prejudiccs in 1892 Vote
Their Patriotism This Year.
Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. Z

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. Z.
In response to request General Har-
rison thus expressed himself regarding
the election yesterday:
1T is the most.eXtraordinary political
revolution the country has ever wit
messed. Wherever there was q free bal
lot the vote of confidence given In 1872
to the Democratic party df one was
given has been recalled and a vote OF
final reputation substituted. The in
conference of the Democratic party was
revealed the moment power was given
to 1t to deal with national affairs. The
insincerity of its platform makers was
expressed when BE it enacted took
place of BE it resolved For thirty
years party eXpediency had been sub
stituted by its leaders for party princi-
pies, and expedlency had as many faces
as there were congressional districts
Every eccentric cross current Of popu-
lar prejudice was followed as If II were
the gulf stream. No position was too
wild or violent for Democratic mount.
Glasses were created and intiamed to
outbreak and disorder. In one state a
debauched currency and in another a
socialism that was near to anarchy
were given a bed. Property, especially
mills and factories, were invested and
assaulted in one section. and In another
trusts We're secretly coddled.
"The old Democratic doctrine that
favored the levying of customs duties
to the list of an adequate revenue
was abandoned. A deficiency to be
made good by bond issues or by inter-
nal taxes was preferred to the Incl
dental protection that adequate Gus
toms duties would give. The silver
question was dealt with in the most
irresponsible manner.
Mr. Cleveland described the situa-
ton perfectly when he said to Mr.. Will
son: They (the Democracy are down
cast under the assertion that their
party fails in ability to manage the gov
ernment.' A vast majority of our peo-
pie believe In protective tariff-never
SO many and never SO strongly rs now
They differ as to the rates and sched-
ules. but not as TO the principle. They
believe in reciprocity as the first
method OF getting foreign markets
They believe in a progressive and
American foreign policy. -
The workingmen voted thir preJu'
iices in 1892, this year they voted theii
patriotism and their love of home. Tho
enormous falling off in the Democratic
vote everywhere is no less emphatic In
its meaning than the majorities. The
great victory secured by the reformers
in New York city ought to have beer
mentioned in the Thanksgiving procla'
mation--perhaps it would if it had come
aarliern

Late returns indicate that the half

victories all over the country at the re-
cent elections. From all points Of the
compass the returns that have been
flashed over the wires show Republi-
can gains of surprising character.
The most stubborn Democratic parti-
sans concede that the next national
house of representatives will be over
whelmingly Republican, while in many
instances in the South the reins of state
government have been placed in the
hands of the party of protection for the
first time in many years.

CLEVELAND LOOMS Up.
Sanguiue Admirers Think the Present
Democratic Defeat VIII Favor His
Chances for Third Term Nomination.

BY the United Press.
Washington, Nov. 7.-Secretary Hoke
Smith was at the interior department
bright and early this morning. He re-
fused, however. to be interviewed on the
subject of the election.
Assistant Secretary of the Interior
Sims, of Mississippi, said: "Well, sup
pose the Democrats needed chastening
at the hands of the people for the way
they had worked at cross purposes In
congress during the past twelve months.
But l did not expect we would receive
such a severe lambasting. Still, Demo-
cratic principles remain with devoted
followers, and feel sure will attract to
them the great mass of Democrats, who
will rally and unite with the party be-
fore 1896"
Commissioner Of Patents Seymour, of
Connecticut, had this to say: "This de-
feat will lead to a very careful study of
the causes therefor, and will result in
again presenting the question of tariff
reform to the people in 1896. II is by no
means to be regarded as permanent
conquest by the Republican party"
A cabinet officer this morning said ::
"Who else but Cleveland looms up to-
day in the party who canlead with any
show of success. He is stronger today
than ever, and the malcontents must
come to him, l do not believe he wants
the nomination in 1896. l believe he is
tired of the presidency. but who is
there to look forward to? At the pres
ent no one but Cleveland"

Romance Married at S3 TO kentucky
Ieiress,
By the United Press.
New York, Nov. THE filing Of a
petition for divorce by Mrs. Mary Ran
som Bullitt against Colonel Cuthhert
Bullitt, at Louisville, KY, marks the
end of n two-year romance. Colonel
Cuthbert Bulitt is a southern gentle
man of the old school. He had been for
many years a widower, when, toward
the end Of September, 1892, at the age of
SO, he disappeared from his home in
Louisville coincidentally with the dis
appearance of Mrs. Mary Ransom, the
widow Of General lRansom and the
richest woman in the state Of Ken
lucky.
Mrs. Ransom was said to possess ST.
100000 She was so years old and very
sprightly, and previous to her marriage
to General Ransom she had been the
wife of Kemp Goodloe, a friend and
legal adviser of Colonel Bullitts. The
couple came to New York on their
wedding tour. They went To the Hotel
Imperial and here the first trial In Col
onel Bullitt's new married life occurred.
His trunk arrived with the lock torn off
and his diamond shirt stud was miss
ing. ut was a sparkling fellow and
quite lighted things up, by CAD, sir"
said Colonel Bullitt, "and, by CAD, sir,
l propose to find out who Is RESPONSE

railroad authorities and some detec-
tiVes at work on the matter
Colonel Bulltt was union man dur
ing the war. although he owned negroes
and believed in slavery He was then
in the cotton business in New orleans
and the people threatened to hang him
to a lamp post. A friend asked the
chief of police If he could protect the
colonel from such a fate at the hands
| of the mob, and the reply was. II think
can, sir" The mob then around the
colonel's house numbered 10000 peo-
pie, and the colonel didn't like the
chiefs word think" by gad, and left
by the evening train for Louisville.
| I'VE all had Il drink, sir" said the
colonel, ''and by the almighty jingo
sir was on my way north at o'clock

French pair. The new doors will also

wounded and DIR. Davis was their ply.
