I believe that all young readers or "The Sentinel" should have it, and many thanka to you for having been the medinm through which I have heen made able to procure so useful a book, which I consider the best investment that I ever made fcr so small an amount of money. William D. Parr. Ok the 2d of February, 1S91, Judge T. P. Baldwin- of Logansport offered a prize of ?100 for the beat essay written by any student in actual attendance, not lee9 than two terms, and a member of any Indiana college durinjr the year 1891, upon the subject, "The Merits and Defects of the McKinley Tariff Act of 1890." Thirteen months' time was given for the preparation of the essays in order to afford ample opportunity for study of the practical operation and effect! of that meastrre. A number of essays were submitted under the terms of Judge Baldwin's propcsition, and passed upon by the professors f political economy of Harvard college. The first prize has been awarded to Mr. C. 31. Leslie of Hanover college. Mr. Leslie is also the "first honor" man of his class, Mhich will be graduated on Thursday next. His essay is a very able production. It will be printed in full in Tue Sentinel at an early day. WnY should not the enemies of organized labor rejoice when the chief oppressor of organized labor on railroads is the moet conspicuous leader in the convention of one of the (treat parties, and when that convention nominates for vice-president the chief opponent of organization among printers. Mr. Harrison to Mr. Morton: "Levi, I hope that the fact that Whitelaw occupies your pluce on the ticket will not interfere with opening your 'barT in the campaign." Mr. Morton to Mr. Harrison: "Not at all, .Ben. My bar'll be open as uaual, and yon will find that my 20-cent drinks beat that Scotch whisky of Cabneqie's any day." The Sullivan Democrat savs: The Impianapolis Sentinel won its fight against the members of the school board who levied an unnecessary amount cf taxes. This ia not quite right. The people won their fight against those who levied unnecessary taxe4. The Sentinel assisted teem by pointing out the guilty tax grabbers. And the history of the Indianapolis tchool election will be repeated all over Indiana this fall. The people everywhere are after the rascals who have raised the levies and collected unnecessary taxes, and will teach them a salutary lesson. Anybody whom the republicans might bave nominated at Minneapolis would bave been etronger in New York than is President Harrison. The democratio opposition to Mr. Cleveland in that etate ia a trifle as compared with the republican hostility to the president. Where one democrat will sulk half a dozen republicans will do the same tkiog with Harki0on and Cleveland as the candidates. And Mr. Cleveland will have the crowning advantage of the great body of inde pendent voters, including a majority of the business, literary and professional classes and practically the entire German vote. Mr. Cleveland, we firmly believe, will carry New York over Hakhison by tO,0GO. The treatment which Mr. R. R. Shiel is receiving from his fellow patriots of the Columbia club is very shabby, to eav the least. Everybody who knows anything about Mr. Harkiov's campaign for are nomination knows that Mr. Shiel was its leading manager and ruling spirit from Its inception to its tlnal triumph. He it was who conceived the general scheme of operations, who laid out the work months ahead, who exeeuted, as well aa planned, the various details of what was, from beginning to end, a masterly campaign, from the standpoint of republican ma chine politics. He went South last winter and gave the federal officials the instructions under which they brought more than three-fourths of the delegates from that section to Minneapolis solid for Har rison. Mr. Shiei, wan in personal com tounication with, every delegate to the Minneapolis convention some time before that body assembled, and knew more about the status of each individual delecrate at every stage of the contest than any of the other leaders on either side. He was recognized by the local papers of Minneap olis and St. Paul, by the Associated Press, the United Press and all the metropolitan i journals as the greatest political general on the ground, and moro space was deToted to his sayings and doings than to those of any other three celebrities at the convention. Joun C. New, Mkhener, Gowpt, liontRTSow,- Cham Bers and the rest of the Harri son boomers were all well enough in their -way, but they were pigmies by the siieof fciiipi whose enthusiasm, energjr and

grasp of the situation showed him to have

rare genius for "practical politics." The jealousy which the Colum bians exhibit of him is childish and contemptible in the lst degree. Shiel will never be treasurer of Marion county, because it is permanently democratic, and it happens that the democratio nominee this year. Mr. Holt, is a great vote getter. But at a republican national convention there is no other man in the state who can hold a candle to Mr. Shiel. The Issue Is Made.

Repullü.a Fiaiform Jan 9, Thar ask me whether I cvnaider the McKinley bill just to the poor. Well, I ihonld say to. A bill which has for ita ob ject the aiding of the poor hy railing their waves, it seems to me, is a just one. Ez-Speakrr Jrd at Buffalo Oct. 15, The action of Carnegie, Pniprs h Co. has been anticipated for several days, as the reduction began eirlr last week at other points widely scattered, and it was then stated that manufacturers all over the country would go into the movement. The Philadelphia Prea (a high tariff or gan) announced the impending slaughter on the 6th inst. under the headlines, Big Labor War Imminent Iron Manu facturers Will Make a Wholesale Cut in Wages Reductions to Yary from 15 to 50 Par Cent. Workers in a Crippled Con dition for a Fight." It eaid of the situation: The workers will be brought face to face with astern determination on the part of the manufacturers to force an exceptance of their scale this year, which, if they succeed, practically means the permanent crippling of the Amalgamated association. The manufacturers are said to be a unit in their determination to accept nothing Ices than they propose, and aa a consequence, cue of the bitterest struggles that has taken place in iron circles in years is just beginning to dawn. This view of the united effort to cut wages is confirmed by the Vro? Aje of the i)th inst., which says: Large reductions have been made in nearly every department. We are advised that manufacturers at the above places the Mahoning and benanso vaileys and Cleveland district have a thorough under standing among themselves, and that this scale is m the nature of an ultimatum from them from which they will not recede. In its statement of the impending diffiieulty the Pres said the Amalgamated association of iron and steel workers would soon be confronted by "the largest reduction ever asked for by the manufacturers," and that the proposition comes to the association through the Mahoning and Shenango valley iron manufacturers' association, which comprises the great establishments of Brown, Bonnell & Co., the Mahoning valley iron company, Cartwright, McCckdy k Co., Younestown rolling mill company, Buhl iron company, Trumbull iron company, and all the other mills in Cleveland and St. Louis. The reductions proposed fully justify the headlines given. Tha Pns says: The great slaughter comes on the gui le, ten-inch, hoop, and cotton-tie mills. Where the rollers, beaters, roughers and catchers now make 55. SS per ton, they are asked to accept $4.20, and on grades where they now make 3.13 they are asked to be eatiafied with $1. In addition to this puddlers are to be cut from $5.50 to $4.50 per ton ; pipe iron rollers from $3.40 to 2.50 and other workmen in proportion. The same plan is to be carriedjout everywhere, and the Amalgamated association is preparing for a bitter and determined resistance all along the line. If there were no other reason to be given this reduction of wa?es is sufficient reason why the democratic party should make tariff reform the one great battlecry of this campaign. It would be worse than cowardice to abandon that issue at the very moment when the manufacturers who are reaping the benefits of the tariff robbery are attempting to crush down their employes to the starvation point. There are some outrages which ought to arouse the indignation of every American, no matter whether he suffers by them or not, and this is one of them. Mr. Cahnegie and his ilk fchould be speedily taught that labor has eome rights, and that the destruction of them is not to be compensated by "charity" in the shape of free libraries, or een by furnishing Scotch whisky to Mr. Harrison, and coach riding with Blaink through Scotland. No true democrat can view this outrage without feelings of indignation and resentment, and it should rouse everyone to a determination to rebuke the obstructionists who stand in the way of tariff reform in congress, and to make a united and determined fight for tho roleaxe of the masses from the oppression of the favored classes. There is but one issue and but one leader for the democratic party now, and the people should give the little clique of congressional presidentmakers who are trying to stop the work of reform distinct and explicit information that what is needed now is action and not talk. Carnegie Means War. Andrew Carnegie means war. He has made his plans to light organized labor and he evidently expects a long and bitter cairpaign. A Pittsburg dispatch dated the 12th inst. says: Andrew Carnegie's lieutenants are preparing tor a great struggle with organized labor at the Carnegie mills at Homestead, where 3.000 workmen are employed, chiefly in the manufacture of armor plates for the government. The men have given no sign of accepting the scale of wages which was presented to them some time ago by the Carnegie firm. They hare until the 24th inst. to decide, but it is evident that the Carnegieado not expect the answer to be satisfactory, and so they propose to displace the old employes with non-union men who will work: ior me wages offered. The great Homestead plant, with its expansive yards and endiess tracks, covering nearly 400 acres, has been inclosed by an almost air-tight board fence, which is fully nine fest high. Along the top of this feace axe stretched throe strands of barbed

wire, which when the war begins will be charged with electricity, and cannot therefore be touched. Inside of this fence are now being constructed double rows of gas and water pipes. At the main entrance and just inside the ponderous gates have been erected two substantial water plugs. Cook houses are being built within the inc'osure. Sleeping arrangements have been made for the workmen, who are to be imported, and an inclosed platform, extending from the railroad station over the high fence and into the works, has been built. This covered platform, it is explained, will enable the company to bring in workmen.ehould the threatened lockout occur, without their being seen or known to those whose places tbey will take. The large fireplugs at the main entrance, with a preesure of 400 pounds to the square inch, are to be used, it is claimed, to protect the workmen against any assault that may be taade from the outside. The scale proposed to the workmen, it is claimed by the Carnegies, will not lessen tho earning capacity of the men to whom it is offered. It is intended, they say, only to equalize waxes ana give to the firm its rightful share of the profits that result from improved facilities. The workmen oa the other hand claim that the new scale will reduce their wages from 15 to 40 per cent. They are members of the Amalgamated association, whose national convention is now in s.-fsion at Pittsburg, and say they will light the new scale to the end. The present acting head of the Carnegie interests, II. C. Fkick, is known as an aggressive opponent of trades unions, and it is believed the new scale is offered as much with a view to making the plant non-union as to secure lower wages. Perhaps the part of this dispatch most significant of the iact that Carnegie is preparing for wholesale bloodshed if necessary to carry his point is that he has employed II. C. Fkick to manage his interests. On his head rests the blood of hundreds of Pennsylvania workingmen, who, in times past, have been shot down in the Connellsville coke regions by Pinkerton detectives in his employ.

Blood has flowed till it nearly put out the fires in his coke furnaces, while he has gone on apparently undisturbed by the slaughter. And this is the man whom Carnegie, this petted product of "protection," selects to manage his campaign against the men who object to a cut of from 19 to 45 per cent, in their wages. Can any one fail to Bee the 6igniücance? From the dispatch heretofore quoted it appears that Carnegie proposes to introduce some novtilties in warfare. Ilo in tends to use electricity as a killing force a weapon which even the laws of civilized war has never yet recognized. It matters not to him what the result eo it serve bis purpose. He has set up a feudal castle defiant of all laws, and ho proposes to maintain it purely by force cf arms. The prospect is far from a pleasant one to contemplate. It is one of probable civil war, and that is evidently what this baronial freebooter wants. lie makes these preparations, well knowing that they will excite the starved ex-employes of his beyond control. If he accomplishes this he feels that in the general outcry against violence and blood sed his own responsibility for the lawlessness will be lost sieht ot, and that his own selfish ends can be reached without the public notice. His whole plan is gimply inhuman and diabolical. Republican Principles. The New York I'rets make a a summary of tliG republican platform, which ia too excellent to be lost. We therefore reproduce it verbatim with explanatory notes in parentheses: These are the salient features of tha platform on which the republican party proposes to carry the coining election: We believe in the American doctrine of protection. (For the bene.it of fat-frying manufacturers ot -New England and Pennsylvania.) We believe that articles, except luxuries, which cannot be produced in the United States, should be admitted free of duty. (And, if we can purchase votes by it, we will pay bounties to those who try to produce things tbat cannot be produced.) We demand that on all imports competing with the products of American labor duties should be levied equal to the difference between wages at home and abroad. (And therefore levy duties from ten to one hundred times greater than the diilerence of wages.) We ask the people to pronouce a verdict upon the cowardly course of the democrats in attacking the tariff piecemeal. (And refuse to reduce the tariff taxes in any particular.) We believe in reciprocity, which has opeued new markets for the products of the workshop and the farm. (But only with agricultural countries that raise their own food and buy our manufactures.) We believe in the use of loth gold and silver money. (For the purchase of southern delegates.) We demand that every dollar, whether of gold, silver or paper, shall be equal to very other dollar. (That is why we demonetized eilver.) ' Wo believe in an international conference to secure a parity of gold and silver throughout the world. (On a gold basis.) We demand th.tt every citizen, rich or poor, native or foreign born, white or black, shall be permitted to cast one ballot and have it counted ua he casts it. (tfy republican returning boards backed by U. b. bayonets.) We propose to keep on fighting till we have honest elections iu every state. (Even if we have to buy every "floater" in the United States to prevent the wicked democrats from voting them.) We favor the revival of our foreign commerce in American ships. (Which we destroy by our tariff system.) We demand a navy to protect our interests and maintain the honor of our flag. (Andenforce the guano contracts of our brilliant etate department.) We demand that arbitrary combinations of capital to control trade conditions shall be rigidly regulated. . (But oppose the enforcement of the anti-trust law by a republican U. 8. attorney-general.) We believe in wise and consistent civil service reform. (But Boooevelt is a crank.) We believe in admitting all the territories to the Union as soon as they are qualified for entrance. (By a majority of republican voters.) We re-aflirm the Monroe doctrine. (We will do all the meddling with the aflairs of South American republics ourselves.) We demand the restriction of criminal, pauper and contract immigration. (Except for the purpose of manufacturing American tin, mining coal, and ether necessary work.) We demand that the employes of railroads, mines and factories shall be protected against all needless dangers. (But haven't time to pass the automatic brake and coupler bill.) We sympathize with the oppressed in every land. (Who have friends among American voters. ) We demand freedom of speech and of the pre. We believe in popular education. (Bat sot in Lutheran and Catholic schools.) We favor the construction and control

of the Nicaragua canal by Americans. (And especially by Warner Miller. Anything that has been overlooked by the Pacific railroad company, the subsidized steamship lines, and the bondholders, should be donated to Miller at once.) We believe in self government for territories. (And all governors, including Calkins, ehould live in a territory at least thirty days before their appointment is announced.) . We believe that the Columbian exposition should be made a success worthy of the dignity and progress of tho nation, and that the government ehould aid in this if necessary. (We also think that Lake Michigan should not be removed from its present location until after the exposition is over.) We sympathize with all legitimate efforts to promote temperance and morality. (But insirt tbat the prohibition laws which we have passed in several states are failures.) We pledge to the loyal veterans of the war for the Union that recognition that is theirs by right. (This does not include Mrs. De la Hcnt only Green B. Racm and other veterans who can make themselves useful.) W are proud of President Harrison's magnificent administration. (You bet! He would turn us out of office if we were not.) And we propose to give to the country another administration just as good for the next four years. (And draw our salaries with the same commendable regularity.) Senator Wolcott of Colorado seems to have an unique way of "talking out in meeting" that is not pleasing to the republican DoseeB. We extract the following from his brief but instructive remarks at Minneapolis: I held in my hand, Mr. Chairman, a list of 130-odd officeholders who are delegates to this convention, nine-tenths of whom live in states where there is a hopeless democratic majority. Applause. The trouble in this committee aa to these contests comes not alone from these men, but comes from the government officeholders who swarm the corridors of the hotels and fill theee galleries, haunting the delegates who ought to be in Washington and else

where attending toother business. Applause. Mr. Chairman Cries of "sit down." I won't sit down. I will speak. Applause. We republicans from republican states would like to have a little voice in naming a candidate for the presidency. Possibly the officfholders will name him, but we don't believe it. We from the republican states aslc the officeholding contingent who are bringing a solid outh against us to at least conduct their side of the cas in common decency and common honesty, so we won't be ashamed to vote the republican ticket. In connection with this the following figures of the vote nominating Harrison may prove of interest : For

John C. New oi Indianapolis, who has been enjoying a brief season of rest aud recreation from his onerous duties a consul-general at London, starts on his return trip to England tomorrow. As Col. New is a federal office-holder he was not permitted by the civil service rules to take pctive part in the recent national convention at Minneapolis, but he announces that he is well pleased with the disinterested observations ho made during his pleasure trip to that city. The nomination of Harrison has fallen flat, and that of Reio still flatter, all over the country. It is evident that all the enthusiasm on the republican side of this campaign will have to be "pumped." ET CETERA. The feeding expenses of the zoological garden in London amount to $500 a week.

The German emperor has a pet aversion for short overcoats and shoes with pointed toes. His clothes are all made to fit him snugly, particularly his trousers, which inclose his leg as closely as" a ballet dancer's tights. One of the legacies enumerated in the will of the late Commodore Hunter of New Orleans was a block of confederate bonds of the face value of $7,500. which he had received for his services in tha confederate navy. Jerry Bimpkon's brother Jim says that the alliance statesman has always been fond of the purple and fine linen in which he now attires himself. When Jerry was a lake captain he was the most gorgeously dressed man in Chicago. It is said that the latest find in the art world is that of Prof. Josef Weil of Newark, N.

OFFICERS OF THE SCHOOLS.

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS. Benefits Derived from Keg-alar Viaitatloaa r Sohoals Set Forth la a, Lengthy Papar Otbar Ideae Suggested ta tba Readers of Papers and Leadera at Dlaeosslea. About one hundred intellctual-looking men, varying in age from very young gentlemen with smooth faces to serious grayhaired men, convened in the capitol Tuesday morning. They were the Indiana county superintendents holding their twelfth annual session. The president of the association, Mr. C. W. Osborne, announced at the opening of the session the following committee on resolutions: W. M. Moss, Greene county; L. 0. Dale, Wabash; C. W. Welman, Sullivan; F. iL Searles, Grant; W. C. Snyder, Brown county. The first subject for discussion was county superintendents' official visits. An able paper on "The Objects and Benefits of School Visitation" was then read by C. W. Thomas of Harrison county, who said: All successful industries must possess classification and system, and have a head vested with the power to devise plans and keep all the subordinates of the various departments in their proper places and at their assigned duties. While each workman is held resDonsible for his individual task there mum be eome one responsible for the general result. This absolute need of supervision is universally recognized in all mechanical employments, in governmental affairs, in trade, in fact in every branch of industry. The same law prevails in school work. He urjjed that the good results of superintendents' visitation to the schools would be increased efficiency of the schools; elevation of the poorest schoo's to the standard of the best; axcertaining whether or not teachers are performing their duty ; assisting young and inexperienced teachers; seeing that schools are properly graded and classified; seeing that the rules and regulations of the county board of education are faithfully observed; enabling the superintendent to license the teachers intelligently a duty too important to guess at ; creating an incentive on the part of teacher and pupil to do better work; stimulating parents and arousing the entire community to take more interest in the school; educating 6chool trustees and director bv showing them the needs of the schoolB and the importance of performing well their duties ; obtaining the information essential to form a basis for the needed changes and improvements; guiding the board of education in ita subsequent legislation; maintaing order and system in unifying the work of the county, and thus economizing and centralizing the various forces in producing the greatest amount of trood. The paper was discussed by 1. K. Wadsworth of Daviess county, wt.o eaid there was hardly a county in the etate where tho leading taxpayers were not opposed to the county superintendent, but this epirit was being removed. The legislature, it was maintained, cripples tho work of visiting schools by putting too much office work on the superintendent, Mr. George li. Wilson of Dubois stated that the county superintendent was expected to epend about three-fourths of his time in examining reports, but tie was paid $:0U for viitiug schools and 9J0 for clerical work. He eDoke of the value of personal solicitation to teacher and pupil. Mr. C. W. Welman, (uitniau Jackson, T. A. Mott and others took part in the discussion. Afler the noon intermission S. W. Taylor oi Warrick county read a paper on "What I Do and iSay when I Visit Schools," relatin? many iueideuts and giving practical advice in regard to overcoming many of the existing evils found in county schools. Meters. F. Ii. George, Stolzer, W. S. lillia, Goodwin and others discussed this paper. Music was furnished by Misses Parr and Diener. Mr. W. II. Eichhorn of Wells county read a paper on the "Uniform Requirements and Uniform School Privileges in the Public Schools of Indiana," in which he stated that the question of school enumeration provoked much discussion among the managers of schools. ''The enumeration," he said, "being made the basis of the state school fund makes it a matter of importance. Since only those who attend our scnools can receive the direct benefits of the fund apportioned to the school, a method more just to all would be to enumerate the persons in the school. Ttie best plan would be to count the full days of attendance of the bona fide members of the school, aud make that a basis upon which to distribute the funds of the etate. The course cf study in county ind town schools below the high school should be made to correspond in all grades below the high school, and the same standard of examination and promotion required." The paper wag discussed by Willis A. Fox, Noble county; C. M. Merica, T)eKalb countv; G. W. Ellis, Elkhart county. A MISSOURI DUEL. Ino Young Men Fight to the Death with Butcher Knivss. Springfielp, Mo., June 17. Another violent outbreak is reported from Taney county. Dif patches from Forsythe eay that John Nettleton aud Richard Meyer, young men, fought a duel lo the death with knives near the town of Protein, in the northern part of the county. The row was the result of the murder of Deputy Sheriff Williams several months ago, Meyer eayiog publicly that all connected with the mob on that occasion ought to be lynched. Middleton's people were connected with the affair and Meyer was promptly challenged. The young men fought with butcher kDives, both dying in half an hour from loss of blood. Each had at least thirty cuts, most of which are fatal. RIOT AT A BULL FIGHT. The Infuriated Animal Makes m Charge n thm Hob, Madrid, Jane 17. A riotous demonstration waa made yesterday by a crowd that attended a bullfight at Liuaroa. The speoiators were not satisfied with the way the fight was conducted aud demanded that horses be put in the ring. Thie was refused and the crowd thereupon pelted the buli-fichters with bottles, sticks and dirt. The bull-figliters hastily left the ring, which waa immediately invaded by the crowd. Tbe bull, which had been inimded to furnish sport for the crowd, was still in the arena. He objeoted to the invasion of the crowd and beoame infuriated. Some of the more sensible of the men saw their danger, and, with cries ef "Cwda-io, tuidad," leaped over the woodwork inclosing tbe ring and made their esoape. Others did not bear or paid no attention to the warning. The maddened animal el.argeJ the mob aud injured many, one man being killed. ' Ho All. N 'flit Affir.

I bave heard of Mr. Hill, I evei recall excerpts from his southern speeches. ; hare a boy who waits On icy table in London. 1 fancy he knows more about the natioual politics of this country than this Mr. Hill." "Will the men who supported Faine at Minneapolis stund op lor the ticket du-icg the cami ainu?" "Well. I saw a telegraphic interview vith Mr. Clarkson, who still remains in Minnea)oiia, in tbe Philadelphia I' reus yesterday. Inthat interview Mr. Clarkson showed more temper and lets judgment th&n I ahould have expected of hin. He 'aid, for instance, that Harri-ou was only nominated by the aid of ropiou iromises of offices by myaelf and Mr. Depew, and that the men who already held office were pren assurance of four years' further tenure f their jobs. Mr. Clarkson even said that the ninsion to St. Petersburg was to be one of the nwarda of Harrison's best worker. "Didn't I work pretty hard for Ben iTirrison at Minneapolia? Well, I'm goinir back t London tomorrow morniDj;. I was offered the ist. Petersburg mission three years ago. If I anted to go to Russia, couldn't I have gotten '.he assignment?" "Mr. Clarkson says that the St. Petersburg mission was offered to three men when he first took bold of the national committee," sail the reporter. "Mr. Clarkson said so, did he? Have you fig med up where Mr. Clarkson will be, politically speaking, a year hense, when the republican purty wilt once more resume its regular business of making history ? owe of the newspaper men compared Mr. C'larksou at Minneapolis with Piifk, Cvpid, Ariel, and so on. The newspaper men struck it about right. Mr. Clsrksou haa a waud that doen't wield. In Iowa tbey worship false gods occasionally. Mr. Clarkson might get into the Iowa legislature some time for that reason." "Did you favor the nomination of Mr. Beid j for second place?" j "No, 1 did not, I was in favor of the old ticket. I am an old newspaper man, and have ! certain well-developed feelings of loyalty toward men tl.at have to work late at night. But 1 think Mr. Morton wouhl bave made a bet- ! ter candidate for vice-preshtent. He has not been heard of tor about two yean. A man who can ait as chairman of the U. 8. senate for two years and not be beard of must be a roan of immense intellectual ability. "Mr. Reed, however, will capture ell of the j agricultural votes. That was figured on when j he was noraiasted. Secretary Rusk could have gotten a lot of national grange an ! alliance votes, tut these societies have not taken hold in New York state. Mr. lieid stayed at home (and it nny be a matter of news to tell you that he was kept at home for that reason,) becaus lie knew, and we knew, that there had to be an eastern hinge to the ticket. Mr. Re id has kept well out of the factions, and can now buttle for himself keeping well out of the fight all the time, of course." "Is there any possibility of th republican split healing before November?" Gen. New was askt-d. "plit! There hasn't been any split. The fellows that shrieked for Mr. Blaine will be outdoing themselves two months hence in the style ot their bell-crowned, high white hat. There wasn't any bitterness. Tbere wasn't any split. 'ilThe men whom I have mentioned as being insane on the Blaiue subject have lost their jjrip utterly unlena they right for the republican nominee." "8hll you be in this country between now and November.?" "My private business may call me here within a abort time." "It has been said that in yonr interview with Mr. Harrison yesterday a certain scriptural king who ate grass was mentioned." "I never saw any pasture lands at Bar Harbor," said Gen. New, "aud 1 have been tbere several times. But I want to say that there waa not the least sort of an afalfa tone in my conversation with Mr. Harrison yesterday." "Were you iu anywise responsible for the result at Minneapolis?" "No, air. As a citizen of Indiana I did my duty. Chaunery Depew touched all the buttons. He's the only roan in America that can tonch a button and secure results withont his actual presence." Hood's Sarsaparilla absolutely cures all diseases caused by impure blood and it builds up the whole sybteni.
