F. L. McQrtsTioy, THE LETTER. President Harrison's letter, accepting the Republican nomination for President of the United Btates, was given out for publication Monday evening. He accepts, of course; then demonstrates the solidity of our finances; scores wildcat banking; speaks hopefully of the revival of American shipping interests; shows that our exports are increasing, favors reciprocity, shows that it is doing good and gives Blaine the oredit for it; makes a strong plea for the oontinuanoe of the policy of protection; demonstrates the of the new tariff law; favors dollars of value; also "a free ballot and honest advocates firmness in our dealings with other nations; gives figures showing the wonderful increase in our commerce, and is in favor of letting well enough Pius Commihts The letter of President Harrison accepting the Republican nomination for a second term is the most complete and incisive discussion of the issues of the day made of late years.

It reviews the whole L'st of questions to be decided by the pending campaign, and constitutes an exhaustive statement of the Republican attitude. The President shows keen judgement in taking first of all the need ofpreservmg a stable and uniform national cnrrency. The sop thrown by the Democratic platform to the Southern hunger for inflation, by proposing to revive the old Btate bank issues, is too favorable a chanoe to be neglected. The letter convincingly shows the eril of reviving the old system under which a man in Pittsburg could not be certain what the bank bills in his pocket would be worth if he journeyed to Sieveland, and plainly places before the people the results of voting for suoh a policy. The importance of reviving the ooean carrying trade is next discussed.

In ooonection with it the extension of commerce with American nations is fully set forth with a graceful acknowlegement of the great credit due to Seoretary Blaine for with which he pressed that policy to smooees. The statistics presented as to the Innmsit of exports of agricultural products under this policy are fresh and Dispatch. The Republican Congress, to recover our share of the ocean carrying trade and save the millions paid to foreigners, pasoed a law to encourage shipbuilding, and as a result of it sixteen steamers have been built, and four more are under way, whioh will add six to the naval reserve, as those firing the British flag belong to the British naval reserve. The Democratic party has in its deelaratkm of principles nothing on this patriotic policy, and the Demooratio Congress showed hostility to it by refusing expend an appropriation made for ooeaa mail contracts with American lines. The Republican Congress provides for reciprocity, whioh has been steadily and greatly enlarging our field ot trade while not injuring home industries.

The Democrat ic'party seeks to overthrow both. The Republican party in reference to the tariff does not declare for a schedule, but for a principle governing all schedules, the objeot being to protect the wages of workingmen aud the prosperity of our industries. The Democratic party has practically declared that if it obtains power it will make without reference to either. The President scores a hit which even his opponents will have to acknowledge when ne points to the recent Alabama election as an argument in favor of Federal supervision. There was no outcry against negro supremacy, yet the very same election methods that were invented to make Alabama Democratic were exercised by the one Democratic taction against the other, and the men who were elected wore defrauded of their oifices by ballot box stuffing and false counting.

Heretofore this sort of business has been considered a virtuous exercise of public duty in Alabama, but now the outcry from the throats of the faction which was cheated has set Demo carts all over the South to seriously considering whether dishonest election methods are safe weapons to juggle with. Times. Passing conclusion to the tariff question Mr. Harrison says the platform declaration "in favor of 'the American doctrine of protection' meets my hearty approval." The majority report of the Democratic platform committee is quoted and then the minority report, which was adopted, to show the uneqaivocal free trade position of the Democraoy, which meets as unqualified disapproval as the doctrine of protection does approval There is not a "dodge" or quibble the letter. It is direct, honest and forceful and is a platform on which every Republican and every honest American oan proudly stand Pittsburg Gazette.

JtTDonre from the inflammatory editorials, personal attacks, sensational reports in certain public journals, one of the last things that a man ought to aim at in this land is success and eminence in his business, especially if it be one requiring the investment of a larjfe amount of capital and the employment of a large number of operatives. Men of large means in such positions at once become the target for eensational journals, who offer absurd suggestions, assail them with personal abuse, or attack them as "robber barons," "purseproud millionaires," "aristocrats," and the like. Tet these very men have built up great industries, increased the wealth of the oommunity, given employment to thousands, and been liberal in their charities and public gifts. All that they have done, however in this direction is forgotten, because while benefitting others they enriched themselves. They have sinned in being successful, while others with leas talent, genius, and brains have failed or plodded on In hopeless Ex.

A Fxaxcisco murderer, whose execution was postponed by the Sheriff on account of legal advice, is now said to be "judicially dead," and the jndge says he cannot sentence bim again, now that the time set for his execution has passed. The murderer is, in the law, dead, and as it is not usual to hang dead men, he will escape the penalty of his crime. This is probably the first case of the kind on record. Taxtov Hall, who was hung at Wise Court House in Virginia, last Friday, was a mountain terror in his day, and was discredited with ninety-nine murders. AT the meeting of the Republican County Committee of Mercer County, Tuesday, the popular vote system of making nominations was adopted by a vote of 146 to 4.

The Conference. The oonferees of Messrs Greer and Wallace met in Butler, Wednesday, but up to the time of our going to press have done nothing. THE CHOLERA. On Thursday of last week President Harrison issued an order directing that all immigrant ships be detained in quarantine for twenty days. The order read follows, and indicates that the states have some rights in the matter: To Collectors of Medical Ofieers of the Marine Hospital Service, Foreign Stenmxhip Companies, State and Local Boards of Healt'r.

having been officially declared that cholera is prevailing in various portions of Russia, Germany and France, and at certain ports in Great Britain, as well as in Asia, and it having been made to appear that immigrants in large numbers are coming into the United States from the infected districts aforesaid, and that they and their personal effects are liable to introduce cholera into the United States, and that vessels conveying them are thereby a direct menace to the public health; ana it having been further shown, that under the laws of the several States, quarantine detentions may be imposed upon these vessels a sufficient length of time to insore against the introduction of contagious diseases.it is hereby ordered that vessels from anv foreign port, carrying shall not be admitted to enter at any port of the United States until said vessels shall have undergone a quarantine detention of 20 days, unless ch detention is forbidden by the laws of the State or the regulation made thereunder, and of suoh greater number of days as may be fixed in each special case by the State authorities. This circular to take immediate effect, except in cases of vessels afloat at this data, which will be made tho subject ot special consideration upo 1 tho application to the department. Two suspected cases vere reported in- New York, Thursday. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has issued orders for the disinfection of all its stations and cars. The conflict of authority in New York, between the State and Federal anthcyities, as to quarantine regulations was settled in favor of the State authorities, i On Friday morning eight ocean steamers were lying at the quarantine in New ork harbor, awaiting the rigid inspection that Dr.

Jenkins of the state force is giving, all vessels arriving from Europe. 733 new cases were reported in Hamburg that day with 201 deaths. In Russia 5,723 new cases were reported, and 2,722 deaths. It is said in London that the reason that the Bteamships between New York and Hamburg have persisted in carrying the Russian passengers in face of the danger of infection, and after the cholera had spread not only in Russia, but in Hamburg itself, is that the Hamburg-American steam ship company has a contract or understanding with Baron Hirsch to carry these people; and has hositated to break the arrangement. There is no doubt whatever that tho Russian Jews brought the infection to Hamburg.

The cholera traveled clear acrosa Germany in the trains in which the emigrants were conveyed without dolay from the frontier. This of itself shows how the disease can be kept within limits. The trains Which bore these emigrants undoubtedly bore the cholera, but as the emigrants were not permitted to leave the trains, the disease did not spread. The plague was, in effect, kept in quarantine on the trains until the emigrants, reaching their transfer depot at Humburg, were allowed to leave the trains and with them the stalked forth to the city. Hamburg is paying the price for having been selected as the depot for Baron Hirsch's colonization scheme.

It has been the Mecca in Europe of the Russian Jewish emigration to America. For a while this emigration brought some profit and money, and now it has brought the pesti lence. At quarantine station in New York Bay, Sanday, six deaths from cholera occurred in three of the vessels quarantined. Nearly three thousand deaths from cholera hare occured in Hamburg since the outbreak of tho disease there; and the deaths in Russia average six thousand a day. As the Canadian authori ties arc taking no precautions against oholera, a twenty days quarantine has been established at Detroit.

Three deaths and five new cases were reported at Quarantine, New York, Monday. The dead are being burned in a crematory erected on Swineburne Island. The bodies are wrapped in sheets soaked in bi chloride of mercury when they are removed from the ships to protect tho men who handle them from infection. At the orematory, when Superiudendent Butler is ready, another sheet soaked in alum is wrapped about the corpse, which Is then laid on an iron tray. When the retort has reached a temperature of about tho door is hurriedly opened and the tray Bhoved in.

The alum checks combustion long enough tor the attendants to close the door. It takes two or three hours to reduce the body to ashes. The retort can only hold one tray, bat one of the two in use at the crematory is so large that the body ot a grown person and a child can be placed in it and burned together. So far, Superintendent Butler has been able to dispose of all the bodies brought from the ships without difficulty. At Quarantine, N.

Tuesday eleven new cases were reported, and there wore two deaths on the island. Prospect Tidbits. It is reported: That Jesse Dutter has given his house a good painting, both inside and outside. When the women say a thing has to bo done, why one should get at and do it. Next.

The champion skipped the rope several hundred times, punched the bag and passed the ball.

Among the onlookers was President Xeol, of the Olympic Club. The big fellow banged out with all the forco in those ponderous arms and mighty ahoulilers, and the leather sphere almost burst with the impost. The blows were terrific and when the champion finished, Mr. Ncol, who was carried away by what he bad seen, stepped up to Salliyan, saying: "The fight is over and I v-ill enclose that $25,000 check for you at once. I don't think a living man could stand such punishment as that."

The well had not been pumped on the water in tho boiler was cold. Butterfield went to it early, lighted tho gas in the furnace to raise steam and then, it is supposed, sat down in front of the boiler to wait on it and fell asleep. Tho hurtling gas soon raised steam in the boilor, and, as the safety-valve was stuck fast, the pressure got so strong that it literally burst tho front out of the boiler, and the escaping water and steam scalded Butterfield to death instantly. There was nobody near tho well at the time but the deceased, and the manner of his death could only be judged by the appearance of things afterwards. The shell ef tho boiler beside tho furnace or ash-box door was burst out, but without moving it from its position, aud poor Butterlield's body was found lyiug iu front of it.

(Extract from a cable letter.) A sudden noise disturbs me as I write this. In the street all is excitement, and from the window I see at a corner a workman staggering like a drunken man. He seats himself on a doorstep almost doubled up, then falls to the ground. The kinder hearted among the bystanders bring him brandy and cholera drops. Quickly the police arrive.

The victim has grown icy cold aud must be helped at once. All shawls and wraps that can be found are requisitioned. The cart arrives, the man is hustled into it, and off he goes. Children have been standing close by throughout the episode. Such incidents are not uncommon in the streets of Hamburg.

Exaggerated rumors fill the air and keep the excitement at fever point. Threatres are closed, festivals stopped, meetings postponed, and all the people think of is whether they can get fresh supplies of disinfectants. The water is boiled. Petrolia Items. The Rev.
