foot la politic* has torn, aa* tto CoasterJournal has observed to vary little purpose If it haaa’t “caught ob” to it Bat, you may any, that ia Mr. Blaine’s earn those was a distrust of his eharaetev which nullified this, that would act exist fa Mr. Depew's case. That k true; but there is something else ia Mr. Depew’s ease that would have boon worm that that; aad It k Mr. Wattenon, who shows bow little of the geaios of political instinct and sagacity k left ia him if he honestly thinks that Mr. Depew would hare tou the strongest candidate. Chanaeey Depew has more of that goaltty that Matthew Arnold calls “distinction” than may mm in cither party since Mr. Blaise; mad it haa a finer flavor—th* impress of a gentler side of life to it—than haa Mr. Blaine’s quality of distinction. Mr. Depaw impressed himself—his very self—upoa the Chicago Convention, and through thoae subtle electrical currents that pervade everywhere, upon tto people, as no other delegate did. Ha came to that convention, a great figure of the empire, a State; to went from It, a gnat figure of the Nation; if he chooses, a grant force iu national affairs, and aa such “they reckon ill who laav* him out." But Mr, Depew mada thia impramion strongest among thinking people. To illustrate by contrast, bk fine impression was among tho very people of tbo country upon whom Forster made a vary ill imprsasion by bis part in thia sam* convention. While on the other hand, Foraker made an impresiion upon • haadlaas, rowdyiah, and in a oartain sense eontamptibla element, that Mr. Depew did not, indeed, wholl y fail to* improm, bat whieh would do him to death wore be a presidential candidate; and that through no fault nor lack of hia own, but by reason of tha axiatence of an unfortunate prejudice—the vary thing againat which no sense, decency, reaeon nor any of tha attributes that distinguish tba human family ia tha animal kingdom eonid prevail. Hud Chaanoey Depew been ehomn for President—an office that he would grace upon tbo every sidoot its beat and bighesf requirements —•vary red-mouthad Democratic demagogue in the laud would bo supplied—and quite probably with Mr. Henry Watterson’s approval—with largo pictures of tha Vand4rbilt palaces in New York, and a picture or two of a Vanderbilt flunkey, lie would mount tba stamp at every croes-rbad in the land, and eay: “There, my friend, ia where them Vanderbilts live. They huve servants to wait on ’em. My friends, thia Cbannoey Depew ia the creature of th* Vanderbilts. He runs their big railroads that make their million! for ’em by equeexin’ tha life oat of tb* poor man and tbo noble American farmer.” That would be sufficient. Not another word would nood be said; and no words, no reason, no argument could prevail against it: The greater its idiocy, tha greater its inevitableness. Thera are a half dozen otherwise sure Republican States that Mr. Depew oonld not carry on account of this, and Mr. Wattcraon, if lie have not lost bia “genius of political instinct and sagaoity,” must know it. He will know if ho will think a moment. When he wrote that of Depew it was the swinging eel ate of a kindred apirit; tbo noblesse oblige, that at tba first encounter, at least, ean never Suppress itself *f it would—or rather, it never would. No, Mr. Depew is not a prasidautial quantity in the America of this time; and whan you consider tbs man’* poise* hia brilliant gift* and splendid attainments, that fact throws a strotg light upon the obaraoteristics of tba i>eople and their national life at thia time. Arnold and Indianapolis. [a D. Warner la Harper’s Magas] aa] When Matthew Arnold first came to New York the place in the West about whioh be expressed the most ourioaily was Indianapolis; (hat he said bo must sea if no other city. He had no knowledge of the place, aad could give no reason for hi* preference except that the name bad always.bed a fascination for him. Ho found there, however, a very extensive book store, where hie own works were sold in n ambers that pleased and surprised him. The shop has a large miacelianeoua stock, and does a large jobbing and rotail busioam, hut tha fiiiaoetlanaous books dealt in are mostly cheap reprinta of English works, with very few American copyright books. This ia a significant comment on the languishing state ol tha market for works of American authors in tba absence of an International copyright law. A Hint To Beverage Providers.

Tho following are tho office* that have bean promoted from tho fourth-class to tbo presidential rank since the last adjustment: Bourbon, Garrett, Hammond, Salem and Waterloo.

The home people already know of Mr. Matson’s proposition to deliver to the State Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument Commission of Indiana one hundred pieces ot captured or condemned cannon, for the purpose of ornamenting a monument in process ot omstruction at Indianapolis. It is unpleasant to mar any hopes that may be entertained of the fulfillment of tbit design, but the Chief or Ordnance only reoentiy reported to C»ngre-s that “all the cannon captnred during the late war have already been donated by Congress for monumental and other purposes.” In addition, the Senate committee on military affairs have, ip at least a dozen instances, in the put several years, two of which have been during the present session, reported, on eimllar requests, that “there aro now no useless or condemned cannon undisposed ot which cun be donated for the purpose named, or any similar purpose.” It can be seen from thie official stalemeut of official facte that there is now no ordnance supply from which the Monument Aesoeiation can be furnished

with caunon.

Another move to increue pensions has been made by Mr. White. He proposes that all widows of soldiers and dependent parents that are over seventy years ot age sball be paid twenty-four dollar* per mouth. The measure is under consideration in the committee on pensions. The State Agent of the Agricultural Department has made the following report on the condition of the oropa iu Indiana: "There is but a slight improvement m the condition of winter wheat. A number of counties report the growth and development ot the plants as vsry satisfactory, with marked increase of oondition, while others report tfiat the fly is doing great damage. The large central belt remains apparently the atm*m last month. Tha area hu been great) v reduced by uutavorable appearance in early spring. Rye has not suffered the tame u wheat; there ia but alight reduction in area and condition is fair. There is a large increue in the acreage sown to oats, a large proportion of which shows very favorable, but many fields were sown late, causing some reduction in condition. The condition of clover is improving; spring pastures are much improved by the rains. There wu a very full bloom on the apple sod peach trees, but some damage was done by frost.” Professor Dodge, statistician of the Department, makes the following estimates, showing the acreage and condition of the crops' in Indiana: “Winter wheat—acreage compared with lut year, 91; average oondition, 60; rye —acreage compared with last year, 96; winter rye—average condition, 89; barley—acreage compared with lut year, 95; average condition, 78; oaU—acreage compared with lut year. 106; average condition, 92; clover —acreage compared with lut year, 87; average condition, 85; spring puture—average oondition, 81; apples—average condition, 95; peaches—average oondition, 96.” Tho committee oa rivers and harbors have made a favorable report on a measure to authorize the Mount Carmel Development Company to draw auoh supply of water from tho Wabuh River or its tributaries u may be required tor the corporation, provided that such withdrawal to not detrimental to tho in tercets of aavightion. Tho committeo on peneiona recommended that pensions b« granted to tha following Indiaoians: Moses T. Coffee, Company A, Ona Hundred and Forty-aighth Indiana; Elisa H. Hall, Company F, Sovonfy-third Indiana; Mary A. McClain, mother ot Joaiah B. MoClaio, Company A, Eleventh Indiana; John Robeson, Company H. Sixty-eighth Indiana; Delilah Vaudevendsr, father of Jacob Vaudereuder, Company D, One Hundred aad Forty-ninth Indiana. They •loo recommend that the pension of George Bhody, Company K, Thirty-sixth Indiana, to iacraaaad to $30 a mouth, and that of Joooph B. Sellars, Company I, Twanty•a Tenth Indiana, to $45 a month. Suggesting a Return to Bleeding. An old-faahioaad London physician doriaras “that tto mortality of acute pneumonia, croupous aud catarrhal, ia decidedly greater now than forty yaara ago, especially when it occurs in young or middle-aged patients of previously good health, and that thia i a crease of 'mortality eoinoides with a prerailing change of treatment iu such a manner aa 8trongly to auggeat, if it does not absolutely prova, that tto prinripla of that change ia erroneous, sit her in what it omits, or in what it adds, or in both.” In brief, tto old doctor’s essay amounts to an attack oa tha present mod* af traeilng pneumonia, mad an advocacy for a return, in part at least, to the diaaaed praodoc of biood-lstting.

HARRISON IN BOSTON.

A Rooster's Observation ot How the Nemteatseb Waa Received There.

rOorrsspondsecs ot The Indianapolis News] Boston, June 25.—To a Booster away from homo tto nows that Indiana baa cleared tto murky atmosphere at Chicago by tto nomination af Mr. Hamaon is peculiarly rofreahing, aad the study of tho Bostonians’ roesption therqri’ ia intereotiag enough. Th m ia not a city ot pronouncad ontbnaiasma in matters political, rather one given to moat dispassionate weighing of chances pro and eon. For instance, at no time, not avan pending tba announcement of tbo result of tho eovantla and eighth ballots upon tha bulletin-boards, waa tbara aa large a collection of person* about them aa sloo-l all day Saturday about tbo When store and The News office at homo, aad snob a thing as a "hurrah,” or any decided demoastrutiou never ncemsd to enter the head* of those moot in term ted. There is mighty little Jingo in tho composition ot this ataid rid town, ya*, somehow, a mere expression of iipproval seems to carry kll tho weight of satiktaotiou whieh we of Indiana diaplay with shout and handshaking. To oo Republican nominee, Mr. Blaine alone excepted, weald there bo accorded outspoken denuuoiation, while tho ealection of no other name would have called forth each decided expression* of approval as that ot Mr. Harrison. Mere brilliancy goes for nothing bore; solid qualities for very much, and parsouai integrity with a clear political record for moat of alL Mr. Yoorheoa, oa the ooeaaion when he palled the Senator from Kansas down stairs by firmly inserting hia nose between Mr. Ingalls’s teeth, declared that the issues under discussion had been in effect repeatedly passed upon by bis constituent* and vara dead. He would never, with any knowledge of the temper of this people, bav* ventured upon each a declaration.. No political blunder or grave import ever die* here, nod the Mulligan tetter* just as efieotually down Mr. Blaine in Massachusetts to-day as when they first became ammunition for the euem> 'a guns years ago. The writer, finding himself among old friends, many of them “Republican* who voted for Cleveland for conscience sake,” has been a “chiel among ’em taking notes.” and baa thus far heard but ona opinion expressed concerning the nomiimtion—entire satisfaction that a clean, able and honest man had been chosen, so that the country may at least bare acanTsss with no raking up of personal matter unfit for publication—and that - the iesuea may be made upon great national questions of policy alone. Our political friends and opponeu (a in Massachusetts declare that wa of tha Republican perxuaaion have nomioated our best man, one who represents Republican principles fully, who haa not been a professional politician and who has been! in public Hie only long enough to show bimseli manly and upright. Of Mr. Harrison’s public record it eeems to be the opinioa'here that no important point ot attack is open to hi* adversaries, and some way the New Englanders have reached much the same conclusions which we of his home State have ior and' regarding him as a man and a citlsen. He will poll all the Republican votes there are in Massachusetts and win back many who strayed from lha standard in 1884, kopiug, unwisely as we think events have shown, to find in Mr. Cleveland a needed reformer. E. F. Hodges. Forakar Pen-FiclurSd. [D. E. O’a. In Louisville Commercial.] Speaking of great men, i am reminded of the smallest mao in the convention. Joeeph B. Foraker, Governor of Ohio, earned that contemptible distinction. He is soch a cheap, tawdry, coarse politician. The severest criticism passed upon the gathering of Republican* was the eagerness with which they bowled for Foraker and thadeligbt hie ribald invectives gave tnem. The semblance of an invitation was sufficient to hasten him to the platform. His face is not a flattering preface to his character. From a mean, deep frown between th# eye* starts a long, odd, dirk-like nose. His mouth ia noticeable for both quantity and weakness. A retrewgng ohia completes t'lis forbidding phyaioyooiy. In all his many speeches ho appealed to the worst instincts of his hearers, and, unfortunataly, his vulgarisms were applauded. He ia an average stump-speaker, with all the mannerism* and effrontery of hi* class. Early in these dispatch** it wa* predicted that he would prove a traitor to Sherman. At a critical period be encouragel and consummated a dicker with Blaine by whioh he ws* to receive second place on the ticket as the price of his treachery in disrupting tha Ohio delegatioo. When there is added to this fellow’s maxe-up a sleepless ambition to become a national leader, one can not but lament the tendency ot the Republican party to encourage him. He is a dangerous man, a malignant partisan with the dreams oi a statesman and the methoda of a mad politician. Proservert Violets. [Philadelphia Times] Here is the recipe for making those dainty confections, preserved violets: Pick off the green stalks from some double violets; dip one pound of loaf-sugar in as much water as it will absorb; boil it in a stew-ppu until, by letting a drop or two fall into cold water, it become! hard; put ia the violets and keep them in uutil the sugar again boils; then rub the sugar against the aides of the pan until it is white; etir all togetner until the auger leaves the violet*, then drain them on a sieve or fine white cloth; set tho violeta on tto shallow end ot the sieve in a lightly warm oven and turn them two or three timet; watch carefully, as they must not become cold till dry. A Little Elomontary Instruction. [Judge.] In a restaurant. “Waiter, a bottle of Madeira.” “All right,,sir.” After an interval. "Waiter, I asked you for a bottle of Madeira ten minutes ago.” l ha waiter, bia napkin under hia arm, draws himself up, and remarks with great dignity: “I see, sir, that you are no* a oonny-eheur, ■ir. i made you wait ou purpose, air, ter •very .Mony-abeur knows, air, tha rider Madeira ia tha better it is, sir." Tho Ago* of tho Oandldatos. A coincidence occurs iu the ages of iha presidential and vice presidential nomluaaa in that both Thurman and Morton are older than Cleveland sad Harrison. Of the four, Cleveland ie tha youngest. The President was bora in New Jersey ia March, 1837, and ba ia oonsoq neatly fifty-oao years old. Harrison oomea next. He la fifty-five. Morton was full of a uiaa-yaar-rid boy’a tricks when Harrison waa bora, aad Is now sixty-four years ot ago. "Tto Old Renan,” Alien G. Thurman, loads them all.

Goa oral Harrison’s First Fes. fOorrospoodsaeo Philadelphia Pram] Mr. Millar proposed that the carriage pass by tto bourn where the General lived with hie young bride when to first cams to Indianapolis from Ohio. Tbe earrings presently draw up before thia early home, it ataada today jast as it stood then,- only ia thorn day* it was ia tho outskirts of Indianapolis, while now touoaa stretch many blocks beyond U. Tho houao is a little, one-story frame structure, containing but three room*, but the lawyer aad hia bride, when they settled there in 1854, wore as happy aa youthftil hop* and leva could make them. Aa we sat ia tbo carriage looking at this humbla abode General Harrison was moved to toll a story, which I shall repast as nearly as may be in hie own words: "Bight in front of that door.” ha arid, "I received my first lawyer’s fee. It was tha first Sunday in our now homo, and I had walked out ou tto sidewalk iu tho afternoon and waM standing there looking with some pride at tbe front of tbo house, when a man clattered up oa boraaback. Ho quiekly mada known hia errand. A man bad been arrested at Clermont, about eight milee from here, on the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. The rider wished me to appear before the Justice of the Peace there for the prosecution. I agreed to do ao, aad ba handed me a five-doliar gold piece. It waa not an enormous fee, but I waa glad to have it. Tha turn waa hardly large enough to warrant a buggy, ao the next morning I rode to Clermont on tho back of a pony that I hired at a stable. 1 eame back home that uigbt pretty well chafed, but I bad succeeded iu wbat I went for.” Only Under a Cloud. [New York Mon.] "f cata’t give ye nothin’,” said tho woman ••adusty and disreputable looking specimen leaned wearily agaiwt tbe gate. “I don’t weal you to give me anything, madam,” he said indignantly. “I’m no begbar.
