Be kind to your true friends. When you make promises always endeavor to carry them out. President Harrison’s letter of ac- ceptance was a great document. Great documents come from great men only. Harrison is a great man. Great men do great acts. : The republicans will sway the j deck in November. He will carry more states in No- vember then he did in 88. Be careful how you talk and to whom vou talk. Always be a wise listener. General Butler will be at As- bury church Monday Sept. 19, to shake hands with the Black Pualanx. So will Gen. Clark, Boldy, Smith, Sam Dancan, Bill Barney, Charley Payne and other fighters that commanded the black men in frout of Gen. Lee’s army.

There are more people in this country to day solicitious regard- ing the colored vote than ever be- fore since our advent into politics. Dear people don’s worry, don’t waste any time, don’t lose any sleep. Your Uncle Silas 1s in a “mysterious way” he is getting thar in the act of keeping his owa counsel, enter sssemnnsnsisnneesosessaé nnn WAY HE WILL VOTE FOR GENERAL HARRISON, A few weeks ago we quoted from Mr, Edgar, (Bill) Nye, on the race problem. We said that the article was sound philosophic, in fact, to our measure nothing stronger has been said by any publicist that has more real depth and soundness than Mr. Nyes, research on the practical side of the absorbing problem- We present our readers to day with the views of another of the very witty men of the country, Col. Scovel, of New Jersey. lawyer wit and orator, hear his reasons: To the Editor of the Tribune. Sir: Here are fifteen reasons why I shall vote for Harrison and Reid: Because Benjamin Harrison is a progressive and an aggressive re- publican. B-cause Grover Cleveland, with the aid of Henry Watterson, of Kentucky, has reaffirmed the here say of Free Trade as stated by tle Democratic National Convention at Cincinnati, June 2, 1856, in these words: ‘The time has come for the people of the United States to d-clare themselves in favor of Free Seas and progressive Free Trade throughout the world, and by so!- emp manifestations to place their moral influence on the side of their successsful example.” I support Harrison and Reid be- cause the contestin wlich they lead means liberty for all, limited only by the lige liberty of each; against the reactionary Democracy who dare not declare for an honest ballot and an honest count. 1 shall vote for Benjamin Harri- son because he is not what Grover Cleveland 1s, a Northern man with Southern priuciples. Because Cleveland believes in Free Trade, which is atheism to labor. Because Grover Cleveland is James Buchanan redivivus, and it was James Buchanan who sat in the White House and like a bread anc miik poultice, drew ibe rebell- ion to a head. Because I believe Cleveland is the sentimental and monumental blunder of the nineteenth century. I will vote for Harrison because his motto is that for “Justice every place a temple island all seasons summer.” Ishall vote for Harrison and Reid because with Horace Greeley and with Reid I tried to evangel- ize, Nationalize, humanize and rev- olutionize the Democratic party in 1872 and miserably failed, Henry Waterson being then willing to rel- egate Protection to the Congres~ sional Districts. Iwill vote in November for “Ben” Harrison because he has given us a safe administration, and because he believes because God made 40,000,000 people black their “conditton is no measure to their rights” (Jefferson). Because Harrison has made the Republic what John Milton said “a republic ought to be, the vast stat- ue of an honest man.” Because Harrison and Republi-~ canism are not ashamed to admit that our pension roll for soldiers and the ‘wards of the Nation” is as great as that of any standing army in Europe. 1 will vote for Harrison because the “solid South” is the Democrat- ie dog, and will continue to wag the tail of the dog and the North- ern taal end of the dog is powerless to wag the Democratic dog. I shall vote for Benjamin Harri- sou because he believes as his par- ty believes, that free-trade tariffs always resulted disastrously, while our proective tariffs have always been forced on us by stern necessity, resulting in uniform plenty and prosperity, wealtb, growth and National power; while free trade inevitably results in financial crash, crisis and National ruin. If I live until the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November I will vote for Ben Harrison and Whitlaw Reid, because they are pledged to maintain and proclaim the principles of a party with a sin galar brillian t and illustrious rec- ord, past and present; which made bayonets think while they suppressed a wicked rebellion after it had armed a million men in de- fencs of human bondage, which festooned the very Cross of Christ in chains and clasped the Bible with handcuffs; then reconstracted this Union of States, while an ap- plauding world witnessed the resur rection of human freedom. James Matlack Scovel. Camden, N, J. Aug, 28 1892. MR. HARRISON ACCEPTS HE MAKES AN ABLE APPEAL FOR RE-ELECTION. The McKinley Bill Defended Subsidies for American Ships—State Banks Con- demned — Election Bill Endorsed A Firm Foreign Policy. President Harrison’s formal letter ac cepting the renomination of his party was given to the press on Monday even- ing, the 5th inst.,at Washingto». He declares, at the outset, that he avails himself of the first opportunity of free dom from the offes of his office to re- spond to Che in MoKinley’s official notification, and tien enters upon an ex: position of the vital issues of the cam- paign. He first alludes to the fact that the work of the Fifty-first Congress has been subjected to revision by a Democratia Congress without results, Discussing next the Democratic plank relating te the removal of the tax on State bank is- sues, he points out the results that he deems would follow a return to local bank issues. He holds that changes may become necessary, but that a national system of currency is the good fruit of bitter experience, and the people will not consent to the reactionary proposal of State banks, The work accomplished by the admin. istration in recovering the ocean carry: ing trade to American bottoms is alluded to with pride. Considerable space is devoted to the reciprocity policy and ta the benefits that have resulted from its adoption. “Great oredit is due,” the President says, “to Mr. Blaine for the vigor with which he pressed his view upon the country, The results already attained are such, I am sure, as to es- tablish in popular favor the policy of reciprocal trade.” Pointing out the unsettled and de preased condition of trade abroad fol- lowing the adoptien of this policy the President says: “ They see very clearly that with a restriction of American pro- duction and trade a corresponding in- crease of European production and trade would follow, and I will not believe that what isso plain to them can be hidden from our own people.” Figures are given showing how A merican trade has grown under reciprocal trade treaties tc which the Administration has devoted itself. s The recent report of Labor Commis- sioner Peck is mentioned as confirming from a Democratic source the claims of the Republican platform, as to whick the President says: “The convention did not adopt a schedule, but a princi ple that is to control all tariff schedules.’ Referring to some of the special effects of the McKinley bill, the President speaks of the establishment of tin plate, pear! button, silk plush, linen, lace and other new industries in this country. In this connection he quotes from the report of the Carlisle Committee as affirming that under the tariff wages have increased the cost of articles entering into the daily life of the people has been lowered, ané there has been an advance in farm pro ducts, The benefits of the South unde the tariff, the retention of the markets of the «world to American producers, while keeping our own markets for Americans, are given at some length. The monetary plank is approved an¢ the recommendation to the last Congress on the elections bill, in the light of the recent Alabama election is discussed and reiterated. The extended civil service and the work of the Agricultural De partment in furthering the sale of Ameri can food products abroad are othe themes. Then in succession the foreigs policy, the care of the veterans of th« war, and the need of discriminating against immigration are dealt with, and in conclusion the policies of the two par- ties are brought into contrast. WRITING ON THE SKY. Messages Transmitted Many Miles by Elec tric Flashlight. The new electric light on Mount Wash ington is giving results of great interest to the scientific world. Telegraphic mes sages have been sent from White Moun tains to Portland, a distance of 85 miles A few years ago Edison declared his be lief that telegraphic communicatior would be established some day betweer distant points without the use of wires, And now it has been demonstrated that by relay, as it were, of huge flash lights placed 80 miles apart, and possibly far ther, any message can be flashed acrost the continent without the use of wires This new discovery is sure to be utilize¢ in war, for messages in cipher can be flashed by this means from one friendly army to another when all other means o} communication have been destroyed The experiments on Mount Washingtor will be continued. Mrs. Logan's Big Undertaking. Mrs. John A. Logan Hias undertaker to raise $1,000,000 from tle women of thiscountry for the American University the national institution founded by the Metl:odists at Washingtou. The univer sity expects to secure a fund of $10,000, 000. Mrs. Logan’s plan is to organize the women into Siate, Congressional dis trict and local leagues, these leagues tc co-operate with her in raising the money to aid in this great enterprise. The mil lion-dollar fund will be devoted to the benefit of women students. “BITS OF INFORMATION. Only one person in a thousand dies of old age. The savings bank was invented by a clergyman.

The Fast Rate Made by a Lehigh Valley ‘Train. The first regular train on the Lehigh Valley route of tis Reading system, which marked the opening of the rail road connection between Philadelphia, Pa., and Buffalo, N. Y., made terrific speed. ‘There were two cars, in which wore Chief Engipeer Paul King, General Passenger Agent E. B. Byington, Super- Intendent Fennel and others. As the train left the Buffalo limits Mr. King promised that it would make phenom- enal time, and it did. A few miles the other side of Lancaster the engineer had before him a stretch of straight track and he started to make a record for the new train. The entire party held watches and 9 miles was made in 6 min- ates, anaverage of 90 miles an hour. The distance from Rochester to Buffale ls 71 miles on this road, and it was made at a little less than a mile a minute. Bad Luck For Peary. News from Greenland is to the effect that the southwest coast of Greenland has not been clear of ice drift this year. The cryolite trading vessels which run to Ivigtut, and which usually made twe trips every year, have been caught in the ice and are still held in the drift. It ie feared the Peary relief steamer Kite is io the same predicament. Ivigtut is 500 miles south of Peary’s iee-bournd home. If the Kite should reaoh this high point, which is extremely doubtful, the return trip would be even more hazardous. An open winter in the far North has sent down such a mass of bergs and field ice as to not only endanger every vessel run ning there, but threaten the fast liners, having drifted into the routes used by the regular liners many miles further south, Liable to » $500,000 Fine. Factory inspectors of New York have begun suit against the St. Regis Leather Company, of St. Regis Falls, Franklin County, for alleged violation of the Weekly Payment law. In case of con- viction the defendants will be liable to fines amounting to more than $500,000 | if all the cases are pressed. A Bad Gang Broken Up, The notorious Ferguson ganz, which has terrorized portions of the Kanawise Valley, West Va., is broken up. Jim Ferguson, who was arrested a few months ago, gave information which led to the arrest of four others, who are now in jail, and the volice are hunting for three others,
