It was the day on >/ which the gallant McPherson met his •;i." . death before Atlanta, and John A. Logan .. «K>t his teeth and hammered the life out of ,(* valiant and desperate body of oppos­ ing troops, while telling Gen. Sherman to „ttlook out for liis headquarters." Twenty Iteven years! Logan and Sherman have joined McPherson, and thousands upon thousands of their comrades are with ; them in the land where warfare is nn known. , - 10" Colonel A. L. Conger, of Akron, Ohio, has been talking about the pros- . pects as to McKinley's election. He says 4' "To begin with, the normal Republican •Jpiajority is from 20,000 to 30,000. In addition, the Republicans are harmo- nious and united; the Democrats are discordant and split into factions which bfannot be reconciled; the differences are two great. Major McKinley is a born leader. He excites the pride of the Ohio people and they will vote for him. It will be an easy campaign but we are going to 1 tike nothing for granted. We will fight It just as though it was a forlorn hope. «Y , J®" "What do I think of the McKinley " said Bob Ingersoll, in a recent interview. "Well, as I am a protectionist first, last, and all the time, I am in accord with it. I believe in more protection even than the McKinley bill gives. A nation that sells raw material will grow ignorant and poor--a nation that grows raw material and sells the manufactured article will grow intelligent and rich. I am in favor of protection because it gives us a diversity of industries. This developes the brain and gives employ­ ment to all kinds of talent. To manu­ facture it into useful and beautiful forms you need mind, art' and genius." The mammoth statue of General Grant now stands complete in Lincoln Park, Chicago. Its designer has looked upon it and pronounced the setting up Well done, and all is ready for the grand unveiling which will take place in October, idea of its size may be obtained the statement that the horse's legs els feet high; its tail weighs .da; the sword hanging at the 'B 'side is seven feet long and weighs fifty pounds, and the total height of the statue proper is eighteen and one- half feet. All is in perfect proportion, and the beautiful work in bronze and granite will stand for ages to perpetuate the memory of the ole commander. I®" M. Pasteur's official report for 1890 declares that out of 1,540 cases treated at his institute for hydrophobia, only five died, and he claims that his medicine was impotent in these instances only because it was administered too late to be effective. This showing is truly impressive. Learned doctors may think that Mr. Pasteur and his views amount to little, but the victim ot a mad dog is apt to feel that he wants as many chapces for his life as he can get, and Pasteur's figures show an available at his institute. --New York Tribune. /, J9*The prophecy is ascribed to GOT. •<S»mpbe!l, of Ohio: "After the canvass Is two weeks old you will here almost nothing out side of the tariff." This predi­ ction by concededly the ablest Democratic newspaper in this country, the New York Smt, paraphrases thus: "If Governor Campbell's prognostication proves cor Wet after the canvas is eighteen weeks old you will hear almost nothing of Gov. Campbell." That is a tidy way of inti­ mating that the Democratic party in slate or nation had better not monkey with the buzz saw of American protection to American interests. The Sun may not be orthodox upon all the articles in the .Democratic creed; but it has no patience with blatant damphoolery. K«r;: : ' 'I®"" It takes lots of gall for the Demo Static papers to speak disparagingly of Republican management of national finances. It is only thirty years aim** a long reign of Democracy left the country bankrupt and the treasury empty. The New York World Almanac--surely agood Democratic authority--shows on page 114 that from Dec. 81, 1887, to the tame date in 1888, the public debt of the United States increased $16,456,170 Sjtnder the "reform" administration of flrover Cleveland. The same Democratic authority--the World Almanac--shows ; that during the year of President Harri­ son's administration last past the public .debt decreased 168,076,263.

Ward, the electrical executioners at Sing Sing, have made a report of their observations in the secret death chamber to Warden Browu. These statements are indefinite and unsatisfactory. Fol­ lowing is the substance of the report: In each case unconsciousness was pro­ duced instantaneously by the closure of the circuit, was complete and persistini without interruption until the heart's action had entirely ceased and death cer­ tainly occurred. In each case death was manifestly painless. In the first place the experts could nol know whether unconsciousness was corn plete or not. The time occupied in the killing and the number of shocks given are not stated. We are left to infer that the men were shocked to death in the most horrible manner by repeated ap­ plication of the current. If death had been instantaneous, the experts would have said so. They say that uncon sciousnes8 was instantaneous but that is not the thing intended by the law. In­ stantaneous unconsciousness can be pro­ duced bya blow the head. Instantane­ ous dfeath is another thing. It appears the New York law is not as satisfactory as it might be. - * " "H IWAlbert Griffin writes to the New York Tribune claiming that with the proper work it is possible to carry eight of the now solidly Democratic Southern States for the Republican nominee, and stranger still, to do it with the white vote. While Mr. Griffin's article reads well, and renews a hope long deferred, we are inclined to the belief that his plans will pay no dividends on preferred stock for some years. W President Harrison hopes to be able to announce to congress in his annual message that reciprocity arranger ments have been made with eight coun­ tries--Brazil, Spain, Venezuela, Peru, San Domingo, Columbia, Guatemala and Costa Rica. The arrangements with Brazil have been in operation more than three months. There seems to be a good prospect of an arrangement wi+h two of the Central American states, Guatemala and Costa Rica, and with the Dominican republic. | SISTERS DO AS I DID DRESS TOMES WITH WotfFS ACME BLACKING ONCE A MONTH: OTHER 0AYS,WASH THEM CLEATF WITH WET SPONGE Copyrighted LADIES, IT COSTS Icent a • foot to change the appearance of ol< Furniture so completely thsi your husbands will think it is new AIK^ON 4R WILL DO IT l\ ASKronn WOLFF * RANDOLPH, Philadelphia.

The court distinctly announces in this decision that every officer who takes an acknowldgement must know that the person signing a paper is the person whose name is affixed thereto, or he is liable for the full amount called for in the deed, mortgage or whatever instrument it may be. In this case a probate clerk acknowledged a man's sig­ nature, certifying.that he was personally known to him, when the man turned out to be a swindler. The clerk was sued for $2,500 by the parties swindled, and as he has ao means his bondsmen will "hove to pay it. Everybody likes to get the most for the money.

The manu­ factures, N. K. Fairbank & Co., are justly entitled to rank among the great adver­ tisers of the United States, and are counted among the most liberal patrons of printers' ink in this country. The Fairbank Company is particularly friendly to newspapers as offering the most legitimate means of advertising, and naturally all newspapers are friendly to Santa Claus Soap. It cannot be said, aa in the case of some advertisers, that Fairbank has made Santa Claus famous, but it does seem correct to say that Santa Clans lnyt made Fairbank famous. Santa Claus has been, of course, for time out of mind, a household word. It was a happy thought when the Fairbank Company seized upon this home-like and familiar name for their very best laundry soap. Naturally enough the quality of the soap has had much to do with its suc­ cess, for not even the most extravagant advertising could make a success of a Eoor article. On the other hand there ave been so many poor soaps put upon the market the past few years, that in the beginning many purchasers hesitated to try another new candidate for favor at the wash-tub. Fairbank & Co. are live, wide-awake businessmen, and they knew just how good housekepers felt on the soap ques­ tion. So they not only set about to manufacture the very best soap that could be made, but they inaugurated a most earnest and honest syst»m of ad­ vertising. No "fakes" or "schemes" have been employed to introduce "Santa Claus" Soap on the market. The brand was brought into notice by straightfor­ ward and legitimate methods, and has constantly gained in public favor because of the excellence of the article itself. The manufacturers can congratulate them­ selves upon such a success. We are in­ formed that the sales of Santa Claus Soap have increased enormously this year, and far above the average rate. No doubt a great share of the increase in this neighborhood is doe to the fact that Santa Claus Soap has been well adver­ tised in these columns.
