SECREIARY MORTON EOR PRESIDENT.

Suggested for the Democratic Nomination
for President by ~ Northwestern Writer.
New York EvoIing Post
Anent the third-term discussion, tho
''Evening POST of August 18th says
of the President: 1.-THE people turn to
him for further service because they
are unable to find as a successor any
one who gives assurance that, If
elected to the Presidency, he would
guard the public interests in the same
fearless and effective manner as Mr.
Cleveland has done. - The successor TO
Mr.. Cleveland is not far to seek. j.
Sterling Morton possesses in an equal
degree every quality which has made
the President strong in the public con
fidence.
There has been no more stanch up
holder of the public credit than Mr..
Morton. He was among the very first
OF our public men to stem the ZIG to
/" free-silver tide in language 80 clear
and incisive as to leave no doubt about
its meaning. With him, "sound
money" is that in which the civilized
world does business--go or its equiv
alent. He has shown administrative
ability Of the highest order in the con-
While, with wise economy, saving TO
the treasury over 81, 900, 900 returned
to it from the appropriations, the value
and efficiency of the department have
been greatly increased No branch OF
the government has, in the interests
of the people, been more carefully
guarded or more intelligently directed.
This is recognized by men of all par

the workshop or on the farm, have in
him faithful and fearless friend, too
honest to deceive them with false
hopes. Labor and capital, each needing
the aid Of the other, friends, not foes,
have in him a defender and ally. A
graduate OF Union College, he is man
of broad and generous culture, and at
the same time he is, like Lincoln, a
plain man of the people, easily accessi-
BILE, and of gracious manner. Indeed,
! he possesses many of Lincoln 8 charac-
teristics which so endeared him to his
fellow-contrymen. The author of Arbor
Day, now SO generally observed, of
which he is justly proud, he is widely
and honorahly known. In the purity
of his public and private life he is
above reproach.
A representative Democrat, Mr.. Nor
ton stands for a wise economy in ad-
ministration; for commercial freedom
in tariff for revenue only, graduated
by the actual needs of the government
for honest money as opposed to any
scheme for tampering with the stand
ard of value; for a pure civil service
depending upon merit. Should the
| Democratic masses, as in the case Of
Mr.. Cleveland, summon him to The
leadership of the party, his candidacy
would inspire confidence in business
men everywhere, draw to its support
the most intelligent and thoughtful Of
our people-in the majority it is believ.
ed-East, West, North and South and
should he be elected to the Presidency,
it is safe to say that In high purpose
and patriotic devotion his administra-
tion Would be equal to that Of any o.
his predecessors. G. M.

SOUND STEAMERS TO RACE.
The Richard Peck, Which Was Built Here
One OF the Contestants.

One of the most interesting features
of the yacht meetings at the interna-
tional races will undoubtedly be the
exhibition of speed given by the Sound
steamers City of Lowell and Richard
Peck. The owners of the Peck have
frequently claimed and advertised that
she is the fastest coastwise steamer in
the world. The Norwich Line people
have disputed that claim in favor of
their steamer, the City of Lowell. Both
these steamers are to run to the races
with passengers and both have been
put in the best of condition to exhibit
their best gait. After the first race
is over there is no doubt that people
will watch these steamers on the run
home to New York City with very close
attention and, the week following be-
ing given over to sport, their future
meetings at the races will likewise be
matter Of eager, interest. The City
of Lowell will travel the course at her
full regular speed as she has done on
the Sound a hundred times, and her
charterers advertise that she will make
the run from her pier to the lightship
in one hour with favorable tide. The
steamers being very nearly the same
size, both twin-screws and of the most
modern construction, adds to the close
ness of the computations that may be
made in regard to their relative speed.

The rumbling noise caused by. teams
passing over the Washington street
pavement has become annoying and the
Street and Sewer Directors are trying
an experiment by which they hope to
remedy the trouble. 1t is thought that
the noise is caused by hollow place
left under the pavement by the sand
body settling. The bricks are cemented
and an arch is formed, which will not
settle owing to the fact that it is a solid
mass. Some of the bricks in the mid
die of the street at a point near Eighth
have been cut out, with the hope that
the pavement will settle and again be-
come solid with the foundation. II the
noise is stopped in this way the same
action will be taken wherever the noise
is apparent.

Washington, Sept IA new cure

attention, claiming to have discovered

The consul recalls the comparative
failures of other attempts to treat con-
sumption successfully and says this
particular process is still in the expert
mental stage.
