f / The Democratic partisans have, always, in paying attention to Benjamin Harrison, whose ability and industry have given him high place irrespective of his political unansonght teput (lithe publismind the impression that he was an aristocrat. andtheyhavebseu guilty of agreatdesl 0f vulgargabble about his “kid gloves" and his unsympathetic maneuvers, and all that sort of vague and silly thing. And many have innocently supposed, as Harrison is an illustrious name. that it was associated with great material re. sources The truth is the llarrisons were impoverished their ublic services. Their honor an fame d not rise from the condition of wealth. and were not as- aociated with it. Ben Harrison when a little boy was of intelligence and steadfast resolution in applying himself to his studies and of such maultncss that he was looked u as destined to restore the g of the old name. ills schoolmates had t is in mind about him fort years ago. He was per octly self possessed with m to his celebrity as t e grandson of dent Harrison, never referred to the fact himself or led u to the reference b others, and when t 0 subject came it itself, as by the declnmation of a passage from the writings of his grandfather n the school books by a corn on, that which he would say was in eat and be coming. A few years later his friends thought he had a touch .of the feeling once by the late Charles Francis Adams—- the sense pf the disadvantage of a famous name. As the son of a president, and the fiandson of a president, Adams felt that had not fair play for his inherent ca- pacity. Ben Harrison, the grandson of a president. and great a of a signer of the Declaration 0 Independence, and at the same time a young man with his own living to make, did not always find the lorious past a help in the hand-to- contact with the present. But he was stout hearted and acquired fixed habits of hard work, and each year of his professional labors in Indiana his reputation as a clear sighted, conscienti— ous, high spirited and capable lawyer w, and he would have been a rich man fore this if he had he i. out of politics. But he could not quite ( 0 that. It was in his blood to go into public life, and his brains put him into the high place. Harrison is amanwho is, and has always been. simple in his dress and tastes, cordial in manners—not effusive and‘ g, but just and sincere—telling the th when he said: “I am glad to see you." speaking the oommonplacos of po- liteness in a tone that has made them something more than more conventional The Republican candidate is not only a man of most honorable military record and distinction as a statesman, but he adds to that which is inspiring in an il- lustrious ancestry, the confirmation of manhood in the experiencoofse'lf made fortune. — Cincinnati Commercial to.

A Discharged Sailor. Mr. William Blake, superintendent of outdoor poor, works from B n. m. until 5 p. in. every week day, and while he talks a is listening to complaints, appeals, arguments and inquiries, and his hands are busy signing papers, making mem- oranda. handing out bottles of cough mix- ture, putting his name to vouchers, open- ing letters and various other occupations. By dint of doing three or four things at once when he is most rushed, he manages to get the average down to about nine things per minute that he gets through with all day long. While the reporter sat watching him and waiting to hear about his observer tions upon human nature, the dull brown tntter~festooned chain of misery that moved its human links along the front of his desk was suddenly broken by a very charming variation upon its monotony An exceedingly pretty young woman, with pouting red lips, sparkling eyes and rose leaf complexion; a young woman prettily gloved, wearing rich furs and costly jewelry, and a marvelously hand- some bat—nltogetber quite a patrician- csqno young woman—stopped before Mr. Blake and said: "We have a tenant; a widow with a child, whocannot pay her rent. We have dis her, or at least served her with a notice of dlspossession, but we can’t put her out because her child is very sick. So I want you to send an am- bulance and fake the child away to some hospital." “You want us to take the sick and per- haps dying child away from its mother, so that. you can throw the mother into the street and let your room to u better paying tenant!" , “Yes, sir,” replied the young woman, stiflly. but with a little flush on her checks, as if she was just beginning to real- ize that her attitude might not be admired by people weak enough to be humane. ‘Mr. Blake’s eyes projected themselves, and he seemed making an effort to swal» low some words that would not have sounded prettily. Afters brief but im- pressive silence he answered sternly: “No, I shall do nothing of the sort. If the poor mother brings her sick child and asks us to care for it, We will do the best we can, but we have no right to do what you ask. We never interfere between landlord and tenant. ‘ ' The handsome young woman reddcncd angrily, aud exclaimed argumentatively: “lint she can‘t pay her rent!" “1 have told you that I can do nothing for you.” replied Mr. lllnkc, in a tone of disgust; “we do not interfere between lmullord and tenant.” The pretty female Sbylock gave her head on indignant truss, limited a look of scorn upon the poor wretches surround- ing her-who were listening and viewing her with expressions of loathing and sur— prise—and quickly went out. A pale, thin, weary looking young no man. still hearing traces of beam y, came up to the desk, and said, with evident effort: “My little boy is deaf and dumb, and [x'll'ziiyLL-d. I can no longer keep him. i bnvewme to see if you will put him in some iuditutiou where he will be warm and taken cure of." “Arc you a widow?" “No, sir. I have a husband, but be can get little work to do. We are very poor, and have another child, which is all we can take care of." “i will send your child to Randall’s is. land, where he will be very well cared for, if you desire it. When will you be ready to have the ambulance take him away?" She secured to hesitate, but ncrving her- self, replied: "Any time, sir.” "Very well, the ambulance will call for hiln tomorrow morning." She turned very pale, her lips quivered, and her eyes filled with tears as she ex- claimed impulsively: "0h! sir, make it Friday. him (the more day.” Mr. Blake kimily told her how well her little afflicted boy would be cared for, which was the best consolation she could have had, and when. she went away re- marked to the reporter: “There's more human nature for you. I wonder if that young Sbyiock who was in here a while ago will ever have in her breast umotber's heart as tender as that of the woman who inst went out." The clanking of the human chain that drugs itself before Superintendent Blake's desk is almost wholly in n minor key. New and then, however, there is a little relief to its monotony. A young German Mood confidently up, and in response to the question, asked in German, “How long have youbcen in this country!" replied placidly: “l arrived yesterday." “My God!" ejaculated Blake. “And let me have known of their being pretty soon before, but he is the freshest thing i’ve seen yet.” The recent arrival was sent back to Castle Garden. The state board of chari- ties and our municipal commissioners of charities and correction have plenty of business in shipping of! panpers, the burden of whose support properly belongs upon other communities and even in other countries. “The Swiss cantons," said Dr. Hoyt, “openly and boldly ship as their paupera, even claiming a right to do so, and com- placently invite us to reciprocate by send- ing our panpers to them, if we can. But we cannot. Catch our paupcrs going to Switzerland! Not much. They know when they are well off.
