General Harrison delivered a great
speech to an immense crowd atIndian-

much enthusiasm. He said in part:
Mr.. Chairman and Fellow-C Citizens
of Indianapolis thank you from the
bottom of my heart for the kindly

we have to do in a very high measure
with the prosperity and happiness of
the people of our whole country, and
with the honor and integrity of the na-
tion of which this commonwealth is a
part.

a clipping from q paper published in

This campaign is one of the most
peculiar that has ever been conducted
In American politics. There is nothing
peculiar about the attitude OF the Re-
publican party. Whatever there is Of
popularity or grotesqueness relates to
the condition Of the Democratic party.
The Republican party now, as always
in its history, stands for the public
faith and credit, for the integrity of
the national administration and for
the integrity and honesty of our public
finances. The Democratic party is in
singular state Of disorganization and
disruption. It's convention has been
! seized by those who were not the old
and trusted leaders of the party, but
men who have recently come into
prominence. Its old leaders have been
swept to one side and new men have
taken the direction OF the party, and
| If we may believe the statements of
those whom we have been accustomed
to look to for the correct and authori-
tative expressions Of Democratic SEN
timent, those now in control of it have
turned 1t completely aside from Demo
cratic principles. (Applause.)
The result of this has been revolt
and we now have the instructive and
reassuring spectacle in this country oi

uous Democrats throughout all the
country repudiating the platform
adopted at Chicago. repudiating It'll

can hardly be expected at this stage
Of the campaign to introduce anything
new into the discussion which has now
been progressing so long. 1t has been.
in higher degree than any campaign
of which 1 have knowledge, an educa-
tional campaign, and in this work of
education the newspaper press of the
country has had a conspicuous and
worthy part. Great as has been the
contribution to the country in past
campaigns of the American press, it
has never rendered so conspicuous
service as it has rendered in this cam
paign. The issues have been lucidly
and minutely stated in the hearing Of
the people with that deliberation and
temperament which is practicable in
writing where there is easy access to
authority and to data.
The voice Of the campaign orator is
limited; 1t depends upon the aid of the
press for any wide or permanent infiu-
ence that it may have. And never be-
fore in the history Of this country, GER
tainly never since the struggle of 1861,
has the great and potent power of the
great newspapers of the country been
SO unitedly, so intelligently and so
powerfully exerted in behalf of true
principles IN government and finance.

Foreign Bodies In the Flesh.

1t Is not an uncommon thing for people

but no one can be found who would be
willing voluntarily to undertake such a

articles which might seem to be of most
dangerous character have been carried in

by the banks of the water in which a
crane was wading about seeking snails.
For few moments the crane viewed the

whose banks are the trees whose leaves

eloquent terms the swan sought to describe
the hosts who live in the other world. but
without arousing the slightest interest on
the part OF the crane. Finally the crane
asked. Are there any snails theref'

NANseN,s THROWING STICK.
Its Discovery Led Him to Undertake M
Search For tho Pole.

Tts Discovery Led Him to Undertake M
Search For the Pole.
II Is not generally known that among
the facts which induced DR.. Nansen to
undertake his expedition to the north pole
was the discovery OF little piece of wood
called the Throwing stick"
Professor ]. Murdoch explains what a
throwing stick" is and how it led DR..
Nansen to believe that there was steady
current flowing across the pole He de-
fined q throwing stick" to be contriv-
ance for casting a javelin or harpoon,
which Is employed by various savage
races, such as the Australians, some South
American tribes and especially by the
Eskimos
The patteI ms of different countries differ
from one another, 30 that connoisseur
can say whether a particular "stick" be-
longs to Greenland or Hudson bay or Alas
ka. In 1886 n curator Of Norwegian
scientific society found o "throwing stick"
among the driftwood at Godthaab, Green
land, different from those used in Green
land, but similar to those used in Alaska,
and practically identical with implements
employed by natives living near Bering
strait. The discoverer, DR.. Ring, set him
self to the work Of finding out how 1t reach
ed Godthaab. 1t was evident it had mot
drifted by way of the northwest passage,
for that way is barred by such a network
of islands that the stick would undoubted-
ly have stranded long before it reached
Greenland.
The only reasonable explanation he
could give was that the stick must have
drifted with the current that sets north
through Bering strait into the Arctic
ocean, On the north of the strait the cur
rent moves steadily westward. There the
stick must have met the current that
sweeps down between Iceland and Green
land, and then turned northward again
around Cape Farewell. This theory ap-
pealed to DIR. Nansen, and ultimately led
him to form his adventurous plan of trust
ing his little vessel to the current which
he helie-N would calry him over the mole

DROVE A FORK IN HIS BRAIN
A Crazy Chinaman's Desperate Attempt
at Suicide
Confined at the County Jail on Lunacy
Charge-Prevented From Accom-
- plishing His Purpose.

desperate attempt at suicide was
made In the county Jail yesterday by a
crazy Chinaman named Gin Look, who,
while seated at the dinner table, jabbed
fork into his left temple. infiicting a
serious wound. At 5:15 on the morning
of the 18th Look made his appearance at
the Jail door and asked to be taken in
and locked, up as he was afraid of being
killedtthat three Cinnamon had been
murdered In Chinatown within a few
days.
AS he was plainly non compos mentis,
the coolie was taken in by Jailor Bu-
chanan and placed in cell He has
since seemed moody at times and con-
stantly expressed the fear that some one
would kill him. Although he seemed
quiet and peaceable a close watch was
kept upon him for fear he might sudden
ly become violent.
Look was eating dinner yesterday
noon at the TRUSTEES table in the base
ment of the Jail, watched by an attend
ant. While the latter's back was turned
for moment the lunatic began desper-
ately jabbing at his head with the FORK
he was using. The trusty saw the heath
en- with his hand to his temple working
it around but did not comprehend what
was going on until the blood began to
stream from the wound.
The lunatic had succeeded in plunging
the tines of the fork through the thin
plate of skull and attempted to twist the
instrument round and round to bury it
in his brain. Owing to the watchfu-
ness OF the trusty he was prevented from
accomplishing his purpose, albeit he sue
ceeded in inf1icting a wound which was
at first thought fatal. Physicians from
the county hospital were summoned and
dressed the wound. after which the
heather was put to bed in the padded
cell with muffs on his hands to prevent
him attempting further injury to him
self.
Since the attempt Look has said moth
ing to indicate his reason for the deed,
except to say that people were trying
to kill him and he was afraid. His con-
dition at a late hour last night had
slightly improved.
