LET THE HANDsHAKING CONTINUE

cardinal Gibbons, at the Cathedral In
BaltimoreD
1t is a sad reflection that some fana-
tic or miscreant has it in his power to
take the life of the head of the nation,
and to throw the whole country into
thought that inspired some writer's
within the last few days to advise
that the president should henceforth
abstain from public receptions and
handshaking, and that greater protec-
ton should be given TO his person. You
might have surrounded him with co.
horts defended with bnyoncts, and
have him followed by argus-eyed de-
tectives, and yet he will not he proof
against the stroke of the assassin.
Are not the crowned heads of Europe
usually attended by military forces,
and yet how many of them have
perished Mt the hand of some criminal? :?
No. Let the president continue to
move among his people and take them
by the hand. The strongest shield of
our chief magistrate is the love and
devotion of his fellow-citizens. The
most effective way to stop such crimes
is to inspire the rising generation with
greater reverence for the constituted
authorities and n greater horror for
any insult or injury TO their person
All seditious language should be sup.
pressed. Incendinry speech is too often
an incentive to criminal acts on the
| part of many to whom the transition
from words to deeds is easy Let it he
understood once for all that the arl.
thorities are determined to crush the
serpent of anarchy whenever it lifts
| its vcnomous head.

corresponding election of 1870, fell 10,-
900 votes below the lead obtained In
the presidential election of 1880. In
Iowa the election came on October !,
with a Republican plurality of 50,o2O,
as compared with TS.059 in 1880. The
Massachusetts Republican plurality
fell from 53,245 in 1880 to I2,023 in
1881. In Pennsylvania an indepen-
dent Republican movement existed In
1881, as for the coming election this
year, and the plurality for the regular
Republican ticket fell from 1925 In
1880 to 6,S24 in 1881.
Off-year figures are here being COM
pared with presidential year, but 1t
is made none the less APPARENT that the
assassination of Garfield exerted no
influences Of a sentimental nature up
ON the politics of the period. 1t was
unrelated to political parties, as the
present great tragedy has been, and
the people from the first appear to
have so considered It, Republican vie
tories will be general this fall without
any question. for the reason that the
party already presented odds too great
rs a rule for the divided opposition to
hope to overcome within so short n
time of the presidential election; but
there is no good reason to suppose
they will be much If any more de-
cislvc OF account OF the tragic death
which all parties unite in so deeply
deploring.

SENATOR WELLINGTON EXPLAINS,

(Letter to Or. w. A. CrofYut, Washington.)
thank you very much for your kind
letter of the 10Th instant, and in reply
would say | have no hope of receiving
decent, much less fair. trea tment from
the administration papers, and for
that reason have ceased making en-
deav0r in that direction. | gave 10
interview, but refused again and again
to give any expression for publica-
tion, for the reason that Mckinley
had done me such injury as | could
never forgive, and | felt that it would
be better to say nothing at this time.
notwithstanding these facts, the
newspaper reporters have manufac-
tured story for the occasion, and the
administration papers are making all
they can out of it.
AS to the crime of Czolgosz, I hard
ly think 1t necessary to say that /,
like yourself, abhor an assassin i am
ms much appalled, at the crime which
struck down President Mckinley as
any ono of his warmest friends.
don't think that any one who knows
me would for Il moment believe that
l would look with Indifference upon
nm act of this kind, when, as you say,
1t strikes at the government itself
and affects every citizen therein. Our
list Of murdered presidents has been
far, far too grent, and some drastic
law should be passed TO prevent an
other national tragedy like that en-
acted at Buffalo.
In explanation of the statement
which appeared wherein was made
to say that | was indifferent to the
whole matter" | wish to state that
those words were not in connection
with the presidents wound or the act
of the ASSASSIN, Refusing to give the
reporters an interview, they became
persistent, and finally one of them re-
marked that the people were expect
Ing some statement from me, and to
that ! replied that was indifferent
to what tho people expected; would
give no interview. These arc the facts
In the case.

NEXT IN ORDER.

The wind is growing keen and cold
for summer,
The fields, of harvest crops bereft,
are bare
Already, signs of autumn time to
come are
Touching natures profile everywhere.
In tangled upland thickets quail are
calling
Across the stubby meadows far away.
The leaves, stirred by the evening wind
are falling,
Bedecking all the earth with colors
gay.
Great pumpkins glisten in the fading
sunlight;
The fruit trees bow beneath their
weight OF wealth.
The whistllng youth now drives the
cattle homeward,
His cheeks, wind kissed. aglow with
ruddy health.
Across the fields the COWS are gently
lowing,
The early autumn twilight comes
apace.
The sky the land, the air itself Is
showing
That Summer now to Fall has given
place.

The electric signs that have been
a late fad with the merchants of Ak
ron because of the ordinance that per-
mits them to the exclusion of other
kinds of signs, to project out over the
sidewalks, are helping out in the
scheme of lighting up the streets of
the city. On any night visitors to the
down town streets notice the added
glare that these signs give to the
business streets and as the signs are
greater distance than the ordinary
sign, they are very popular among the
! merchants. Each week sees a new
one added to the list Of those adver-
tising down town stores and the busi-
ness of making the signs has come to
be recognized AS a distinct branch Of
the electrical business.

!. The practice that obtains among the
growers of watermelons in the south,
or favoring the fruit while growing
by artificial means as an experiment
and to produce almost any flavor OF
melon that Is desired, seems imprac
ticable and impossible to the average
observer, but the southerners who
know as do no others the perversities of
the melons nature practice the plan tc
Il great extent and find that they are
justified by the result.
A hottie with syrup or some fiayoi
that is desired in the melon is placed
under the stalk of the melon. A piece
Of fine wool yarn or wick is placed in
the bottle and the other end of the
wick is placed through split In the
stem of the melon. Then while the
melon grows the syrup is fed vi
through the wick like oil out Of q
lamp, and is introduced into the mel
on. The practice gives distinct TASTE
and flavor to the fruit.

has had large experience. He is fear
