RepubUcana Swear They "Dldr't Hear Him Say It." Iu 1870 Benjamin Harrison made a speech In Dloomlngton, Ills. , and during Its progress a person who Interrupted with questions was put out of tho hall. This Incident occasioned comment from tho speaker, and now after twelvo years It glros rlso to a scrlea of allldavlts and counter ntndavlts. Mr William Condon, Mr. Mlchaol F. Parcel!, Mr. Robert Sanders, Mr. John A. Wilson and Mr. A. G. Creed, all for many years respectable citizens of Bloomington, make sworn statements, coiroboratlug and In somo Instances amplifying with fuller details tho statement of facts thus sot forth In tho affidavit of Mr. Purcell: Mlchaol F. Purcell, being first duly sworn, deposes and says that ho is a resi dent of liloomlngton, Ills.; that a fow days before the Ilayes-Tlldon election In 18ifl, on ono afternoon at Durley hall, In Bloomington, he attended a Republican meeting, which was addressed by Bon Harrison, tho present presidential candl dato; that Harrison during his speech on that occasion praised tho different races that took part In suppressing tho rebel lion, but did not mention tho Irish s that as Harrison was quitting that portion of his address an old Irishman asked: "What was the matter with tho Irish, and where woro Sheridan, Mulligan, Shields aud tho rostt" that to this ques tion thero followod shouts of "Put him out," and then they took tho old gentle man from tho kail; that Harrison then said, In answer to the question: "It Is easy to know that man's nationality! wo hail moro of them to contoud against In tho lato robe-lion than we had with ns In the Union service; they aro only good to shovel dirt and grade railroads; If It woro not for them wo would not need half our penitentiaries." Affiant cannot now ro member all tho abuslvo Words Harrison then used against tho Irish, but Is positive- Harrison used tho abovo languago, affiant's memory of tho spoech being good, because, among other things, ho spoko of tho matter afterwards, uoforo Harrison's nomination, and also because as soon as tho meeting was over ho had a hot dispute with n man about tho cor rectness of Harrison's remarks about tho Irish In tho lato war, affiant then claim ing Harrison's languago to bo untruthful and uncalled for. And affiant swoars that Harrison's words against tho Irish were followod with great applause. Against this testimony, direct and enmuiativo in positive assertion of what took placo, a number of prominent Repub licans ollor negatlvo testimony. They awoar that they wero present and do not remember, or that they do remember, and that nothing of tho sort could havo oc curred. Iu weighing this evidence thero aro two points of great Importance: Tho first Is that beforo Harrison was nominated at Chicago his speeches wero considered of so llttlo Importance politi cally that they wero never reported In full. Thoro Is no verbatim report of any of them on record, except reports In Tho Congressional Rocord of what llttlo ho said In congress where ho said nothing worth reporting on any of tho great issuos of tho day. Tho only reliance for what ho said In making his bitter speeches against tho Greenbackers, against organ ized labor and ngainst tho opponents of sumptuary laws are tho synopses In local papers, ro-enforced by the memory of men who hoard him. Laborers remomber that ho abused thom blttorly for their or- Sanlzed attempt to obtain better wages, epublicaus in plenty swear that It Is Im possible their candidate for president could have sold such things. It Is, then, botween posltlvo memory and tho nega tlvo memory of opposing witnesses that choice must bo made In weighing tho evi dence. Tho other Important point In tho Bloom ington caso Is that tho Republican stump speaker who did not abuso tho Irish in lbiO was eccentric. Tho Irish wero sup posed to bo Irrevocably committed to tho Democratio party. Tlioy wero grossly caricatured and abused in tho Republican press. Republican speakers ' who had gone Into that party after the falluro of tho Know Nothing movement attacked tho Irish from every stump. Thero could havo beon nothing, then, In anything Harrison could havo said against the Irish In his Bloomington speech that would havo struck hU Republican audlouce as remarkable or Impressed It as mem orable.. When tho Republican wook lies woro filled with bogus statistics of tho number of Irish In tho ponlteu tlarles, a Republican audlcnco would not bo likely to remember for twelvo years or for twelvo days any ropotttlon of theso trlto slanders from tho mouth of a then obscuro stump speaker. Now that Harrison Is making "a dead set" at tho Irish vote; making speeches to his allegod "Irish friends," in visiting delegations which havo been drummed up by tho campaign commltteos, prominent Republicans aro greatly shocked at tho suggestion that he has not always dearly loved tho Irish. Thoy will oven persuade themselvos that thoy and their party havo always loved Irishmen abovo auy pcoplo on earth; and they will mako affidavit to a large number of circumstances, all going to snow that if It had been otherwiso they would certainly havo remembered It. St. Louis Republic. Couldn't Shut Illut Up. It looks as If Blalno regarded the Re publican campaign this year as his own private trust, with which neither national nor stato committees havo any right to Interforo. They wanted to cut nlm down to two speeches In Indiana for tho good of tho party of course but thoy quickly discovered that It Is ono thing to proposo and anothor to dispose of tho matchless leader. He will talk just as much as ho wants to. Brooklyn Citizen. Tho IUbel Honda. The Eugllsh syndlcato of Confederate bondholders (which Includes Morton's London partners) will read with great In terest tho "letter of acceptance" promul gated by tho lato director of tho Cana dian Pacific. Those Englishmen aro so Ignorant of American affairs that they do not know ho is accepting nothing but an opportunity to bo bled for tho benefit of the boys. St. Louis Republic Tho Proxy Candidate od "Traatfl." Candldato Harrison differs from Mr. Blaine on the subject of trusts. Ho knows better than to openly adopt the Blalno Idea that the people are powerless against tho trusts. But then tho peoplo will not forget that Harrison Is only a vicarious candidate, and if elected would bo simply a proxy president. Blaine, defender ox the trusts, will not bo elocted by proxy.- Boston Globe. Mr. Harrison and the Republican mana- Sers tried to cancel nearly all of Mr. lalno's stump engagements in Indiana.

Conaequenccs of Physical Inertia. An American business man appears to bo born with a disinclination to walk. I havo seen half a dozen at a time stand around tho cntranco to n hotel elevator, wasting several minutes In waiting for tho machine to como for them rather than mount ono (light of steps. As a conse quence of this physical Inertia most busi ness men of tho present day havo weak muscles, and especially weak hearts, so that should they bo obliged to exert themselves to ovon a slight degree their limbs become exhausted and trcmblo llko "a reed shaken by tho wind," their respi ration becomes hurried and difficult, and their pulses beat at tho rate, of 1S3 a min ute, or even moro. It Is only necessary to stand at tho cor ner of a street through which a street railway passes and to watch tho men and women leaving their homos directly after breakfast, and running n hundred foot or o at tho top of their speed to catch an approaching car, ns though It was tho only ono by which thoy could go down town, and their llvos depended on gottlng Into that particular vohlclo. How thoy pant and blow and turn rod In tho face, and gostlculato wildly at tho conductor and drop Into their seats thoroughly ex hausted from tho comparatively slight exertion Into which they havo been forced by their love of buslnessi Many minutes olapso beforo thoy recover their mental and physlcl equanimity. Not a jear passes that tho nowspapers do not record sovoral deaths that havo occurred from this practice, and which would not tako place If the subjects had been In the habit of Uiklng sufficient muscular exer cise. In such peoplo tho heart Is sud denly subjected to a strain to which It Is not accustomed, and It gives way in tho effort to accomplish tho work required of It. I venturo to say that of thoso who read thoso observations not ono In ten can ascend tho stepi of an elevated rail way station aa slowly as ho pleases with out having tho action of tho heart nearly doubled In frequency. A rapidly boating heart Is aliriost Invariably a feeble heart. Dr. William A. Hammond. Cycling Down a Mountain Sldo. Tho long soven mllo coast began. Tho road wound down around horseshoo curves and loops without number, and as it was on the east sldo of tho smaller valley which led down at right angles to tho Rhino valley I had to rldo on tho outer Bldo of tho roadway In order to bo on tho right sldo. At first, in turning somo of tho sharp curves to tho left where I could boo nothing ahead bnt air and tho hills of Switzerland twenty miles away, I slowed up somo, for tho road was visible for only twenty or thirty feet ahead, and whero It wont to then I was totally Ignorant, but after riding a mllo or two down over roads so smooth that tho running of tho machlno was scarcely audible, I lot up on tho brako a llttlo and away I wont faster and faster. Ono finger was sufficient on the brako at first, but after a few miles that one began to got cramped and two fingers wero applied. Then tho brako spoon began to get hot, but still I could not seo tho foot of tho mountain. About half way down tho water of tho Rhine began to show Itself over tho edge of the road as I canio to thoso sharp turns to tho loft, and thon I know where tho bottom was. It actually soemed that. If I went straight ahead, I should land In tho river, how many hundred feet below my blurred eyes could not clearly discover. Once I met a team and yelled, but tho oxen were on their own sldo and I went by them with a rush all right. Another time (some children saw me coming aud ran down tho sides of the mountain scared out of their wits. Still I went llko tho wind over tho samo steep grade and smooth road down from top to bottom, without mishap, but with a feeling I nover beforo experienced in coasting that I was glad I was at tho bottom. How long It took me to como dowi I do not know, but I waited six minutes at tho baso for tho English men. Bicyclist Oeorgo 11. Thayer In New York World. To Keep the Eye llpautlfuL To havo beautiful sightly eyes, wo must havo strong, sound ones, and avoid all causes of liarm. Never read, wrlto or work with tho light from a window In front of tho oyes. Artisans lnjuro their sight past recovery by working at a bench directly In front of a window, when thoy should bo placed with the back to It. Tho light In front falls Into tho eye, which coutracts to lossen what It cannot bear, with the lnvarlablo result of weak eucd sight. Lamps, gas jets aud student lamps are often placod so near tho head as to heat tho eyes Injuriously. Tho sim plest shado.stops this by making a current of air between itself and tho lamp. I quoto from Dr. Joffrlcs' highly Inter, cstlng pamphlet on "Our Eyes and Our Industries. Ho speaks vory docldedly on tho Injury to tho eyes of wood engrav ers In cutting from photographs on tin block, making tho blurred and misty pict ures too familiar In papers and magazines. Tho work la cheaper, but, oculists find, most destructive to tho eyes, aud tho bet ter class of engravers either refuso such work or raise their prices nearly double. Tho wear and tear comes of looting con stantly from tho photograph to tho orig inal picture hung before it and continually changing tho focus of tho eye. I am glad to know this has awalsanod attention, for I know that looking at tho soft, blurry wood cuts Is vory trying to sensitive eyes, So is tho satiny, calendered paper which certain publishers protest la necossary for fino impressions, although finer work la douo abroad upon dull papor. Tho gloss and glitter of much of the modern houso decoration Injures tho eye by tho broken reflections It is forced to moot on all sides. Tho varnished paint, tho metalllo finish of walls and fabrics, the breadth of plato glass and painted glass are simply destruc tive to good sight.

Shirley Dare's Letter. Slight Impurities Iu Metala. Tho astonishing changes that small proportions of foreign matter will produce Iu metals are not necessarily of small practical Importance, as vory Blight Im purities In metals for certain purposes might lead to serious consequences.

THE FOE OF FRAUDS. Contrast Itetereea Iltalno nnd Cleveland rthorra ley the Former. As a stump advocate Mr. Blalno fares no better In tho west than In tho cast. His unfortunate allusion to trusts at Portland Is appropriately supplemented by Ids dis cussion of pensions at Detroit. In much bitterness of spirit ho finds fault with tho president for vetoing private pension bills whllo thero is a surplus In tho United Statos treasury. From the tono and tenor of his complaint the logical lnferonce Is that if ho wero In Mr. Cleveland's placo the measuros would havo received official sanction. In other words, ho would havo signed the bills regardless of the Illegality of tho claims they embodied. Than this avowal no hotter illustration could bo given of tho broad distinction between tho methods of Mr. Blalno and Mr. Cleveland In publlo life. No protenso is offered by tho partisan critics of tho president that any deserving applicant for a pension has over been deprived of his or her rights by executive action, Mr. Cleveland's vetoes havo been directed not at those who wero entitled to relief, but at tho cormorants, adventurers and hypocrites who, under coverof patriotism, attempt to swhidlo tho government and despoil honest pension ers. If thero Is any ground on which tho present administration can challcngo criti cism In proferenco to another it is tho roc ord on pensions. During llttlo moro than thrco years In office President Cleveland has signed moro pension bills than wero signed by any of his predecessors, and within a fraction of as many as 'were ap proved by all of them put together. To Lis untiring Industry and faithful de votion to duty are attributable tho detec tion and exposure of tho fraudulent claim ants whose appeals for rollof havp been rejected. Because Mr. Clovoland carried into tho presidency tko conscientious re gard for his official obligations that dis tinguished him In tho governorship of tho empire stato ho has stood steadfast as tho uncompromising foe of pension thieves and all other thlovcs alike. It is by reason of Mr. Clovoland's ragged honesty and resolute courage and of Mr. Blalno's lack of thoso qualities that tho formor Is In the White IIouso and tho latter is on the partisan stump. Tho American pcoplo with unerring Instinct havo not failed to mark tho dlffcrouco between tho upright public servant and tho brilliant but un scrupulous demagoguo. Brooklyn Eagle. Tho Candidate on Labor. Tho Indianapolis Journal has taken a now tack In tho controversy over tho quostlon whether Mr. Harrison over said that a dollar a day was enough for a working-man. Now that a reputable citi zen offers to swear to tho truth of tho Btory Tho Journal modifies Its original proposition and announces Its willingness to glvo a reward of $2,000, provided a Democratio judge and a Democratic jury, following the usual legal methods, will dectdo that tho accusation Is proved. Perhaps The Journal has been reading Tho Now York Tribune. Not long ago a western Democrat offered to forfoit $10,000 if threo Republican judges of tho supreme court of Wisconsin would declare President Cleveland's message a froo trado document. Tho Tribuno grow savagoly sarcastic over tho suggestion. It called tho western Democrat a humbug, because it said that ovorybody must know that no iudgo would drag his position Into politics in tho way proposed. Perhaps Tho Jour nal, taking a hint from its Now York leader, adopted a plan that it thought would be Bafo. Meanwhile it may bo of interest to re produce tho affidavit which has called out tho latest signs of activity from Mr. Har rison's organ, and to mention tho fact that the throat of tho Republican man agers to arrest tho signer for perjury has not yet been fulfilled: State ov Indiana, ) Makion County. ) John Q. Schwartz, being duly eworn, testifies, under oath, that ho was om ployod by tho Clovelaud.Colnmbus.Clncln natl and Indianapolis railway In July, 1877; that ho wont on a strike on the day that tho strike took placo, on or about July 10, 1677, for an Increase of wages; that ho was present at tho conference meeting in the old council chamber, hold dur ing' tho period that said strike lasted, where Benjamin Harrison, Albert O. Porter and other prominent citizens spoko with reference to the Btrlke. That ho heard Benjamin Harrison say that thoy (tho strlkors) were lawbreakers, and us such wero not entitled to any sympathy whatover from the public; that tho said Benjamin Harrison (now a presidential candidate) further said that tho mpn ought to return to their work; that tho railroads could not afford to pay higher wages; that tho wages wero enough, and that $1 per dav was enough for any work ingman; that Iio himself could livo on that amount.

Whether China llko it or not whether or not wo loso onr tea and fall to sell our koroscno In tho bamboo town of Canton matters little to tho peoplo In this stago of tholr international philosophy, and therefore it matters Uttlo to tho presi dent. Ho returns to congress, with his approval, tho act which Is meant to ex cludo all Chluamon who may not bo hero for travel or diplomacy, The oxecutlvo function Is horo as bold ns tho popular dogma.

The determination taken at tho outset must support tho calamities of trado prohibi tion and racial disorders. In tho forth coming difficulty America will doubtless bo as steadfast as China.

When he wa3 lmportpd Into this stato, threo years ago, it was admlttod by many Republicans that ho was doing his party moro harm than good, and thero was a disposition to return him without thanks. Ho Is not calculated for theso latitudes. A curious Interest, thon, attaches to this Orphic sentonco from Tho Tribune, describing tho result of IiIb labors with the folk of Stamford town: "Tho speech had tho immedlato nnd practical effoct of making mauy con verts."

Tlio ore Is very baso. and It is necessary to roast tho wholo of It. During tho roasting process no doletorious or disagreeable fumes aro obsorvablo, yot tho hair and tho boards of all tho men engaged about tho works aro soon dyed a bright and pormancnt green. Even the eyebrows of tho workmen aro as green as grass. In scores of Nevada mines ores of various kinds are smelted and roasted, but at nono of them is cither tho hair or beards of tho workmen changed from tholr natural hue. It Is said there is less anionic In tho ore of tho Mar tin White than In that of many other mines. Old smelters say arsenic- has no such effect on tho hair, and all declare that tho emerald huo Imparted to tho hair is duo to tho presence of somo unknown and mystorlous metal or mlnoral.

Tho seas would como over bow and stem four feet deep at times, but pass off quickly without oven preventing tho uso of her guns. Sho rolled but 7 degrees, whllo tho two ships accompanying her rolled 20 to CO degrees. In the report of this crulso by Assistant Secretary Fox wo find: "A vessel which attacks a monitor In a seaway must approach very closo to havo any chanco of hitting such n low nun; ana oven tnen tno monitor is naif tho tlmo covered up with thrco or four foot of water, protecting herself and dis turbing her opponent's firo."

When the Indian rtcelves an Injury, ho docs not seek a euro In mlueral poisons, bul! binds od tho slmnio leaf, admlnis. tcrs tho herbal ten, and, with nature's aid, comes natural recovery. Our rugged uuccstorf. who nlerced tho wilderness, built their uncouth but com fortable Log Cabins and started tho clear ings in tho woods, which in tlmo became tho broad, fertile fields of the modern farmor, found In roots and herbs that lay close at hand nature's potent remedies for all their common ailments. It was only In very serious ca9es thoy sent fur old "sad. uic-uago" wuu ins pnyslc, wh ch nulte as often killed as cured. Latter day sociely has wandered too far away from nature, In every wav. for its own good. Our grandfathers and grand mothers lived wholcsomcr, purer, belter, healthier, moro natural lives than wo do. Their minds wero not filled with noxious Isms, nor their bodies saturated with poi sonous drugs. Is It not tlmo to mako a change, to re turn to tho simple vegetable preparations of our grandmothers, which contained tho power aud potency of nature as remcdlcrl agents, anil In all the ordinaiy ailments wero efficacious, at least harmless? The proprietors of Warnci's Log Cabin remedies havo thought so, and have put on the market a number of these pure vege table preparations, made from formulas se cured alter pallent starching Into tho an nals of tho past, so that thoso who want them need not bo without them. Among these Log Cabin remedies will be found "Log Cabin sareaparllla," for tho blood; "Log Cabin hops and buchu reme dy," a tonlo nnd stomach remedy; "Log Cabin cough and consumption remedy," Log Cabin hair tonlo," for strengthening and renewing tho hair; "Log Cabin ex tract," for both externa! and Internal appli cation! "Log Cabin liver pills," "Log Cab In rose cream," au old hut effective remedy for cnttarrb, and "Log Cabin "plasters.11 All theso remedies are carefully prepared from recipes which were fouud, after long Investigation, to havu been those most iuc rcssftilly used by our grandmothers of "yo olden time." They arc the !rnplc, vegeta. ble, efficacious remedies of Log Cabin Days.
