The Wisconsin Republican Con vontion rlenoouced the last annual message of President Cleveland as an attack upon American industries in the interests of free trade. Aery well, gentlemen; have it so if yon will. If your speakers go upon the stump this Year and make the fight for a perpotoation of the war tariff, Wisconsin will cast her vote for Cleveland in November, and don’t you forget i t. __ The Pennsylvania woman who, with only a hatchet, successfully fought three burglars and fatally wounded one of them, has set a good example to her sex. Women, if prop erly trained for the reception of bur glars, might make the burglary bu9i ness quite uncomfortable to its fol lowers. There may come a time when burglars will enter no Louse ubtil they nro sure that its mistress has gone shopping or is off to the prayer meeting. WHY IS THIS THIS! The New Yotk Methodist Confer ence now in session in that city hss thrown the great big Herald into a brown study, a quandary, a serious perplexity. It rubs its eyes in as¬ tonishment, thrusts its spectacles up to the very roots of its editorial hair, and gazes out into space with wonder ment and surprise. The Conference had refused, by formal vote—which, by the way, pass ed by the skin of its teeth—to permit women to be accredited as delegates to the councils. The Herald has read the speeches by the opposition with great care, and it trusts, with profit and instruction, but if has failed to discover any good reason for this action. Is it because women are less intelli gen! than men? asks the Herald. That would be an odd assertion, and a clergyman would need to have great courage to make it, even iu bosom of his family. There are dangerous explosives in abundance in this scientific age, but none tocom p:iru with a statement of that sort. Besides, it would lack the merit of truthfulness. It may be uncotnpli inentary to the masculine gender, but the, cold, hard fuel is that a woman’s brain is a good deal like a man’s, and not infrequently more so. Is it because women lack exccu tivo ability or devot’on to the cause of religion, or breadth ©f view, or sentiment or emotions, or consisten cy? In all these respeets exporter.* e shows that genius and the capacity for successful work are about evenly distributed between the two sexes, amlt , . hat the , judgement . , _ ol , women . in matters ______......... pertaining to the church ______l is as safe and sound and consejva tiv.-as that <*l men- So the Herald wonders what it means, but so far it has received no reply.

Did Ingalls’ tirade in the Senate the ofber day have eny other signifi cance than the venting of the per aonal spleeu of a mean conceit? It look* «o when ono remembers Iub declaration, made a few days before the dcl : vs r y of bis speech, that he in tended to give his parly some excel' lent campaign material. The Waeb ington correspondent of the Chicago Times throws some light on this point; ‘•Whilo the Kepublicans in Con grots are constantly reiteratiating the statement that they welcome the tariff issue for the next campaign and are glad that they have the Demo cratic party fully committed on that question, there are strong indications of a growing conviction on their part that it will not do to trust entirely upon carrying Minnesota. Wisconsin and some other States with the cry for protection for Ameri an labor. They admit privately that there is a growing sentiment, especially in the Northwest, in favor of low low tariff taxation and that it may therefore be necessary to resort to other issues to keep the boys in line with the ‘grand old party.’ The speech of Senator Ingalls last Tuesday gives the keynote of the other issues. It is understood that quite a number of Republicans are engaged in the col lection of materials for such attacks upon Northern Democratic leaders as Ingalls mope upon Vorbees and upon other Southern leaders for alleged suppression of the negro vote, by which it is claimed the solid South is msde Democratic. It is conceded upon all sides that a judicious revis ion of the tariff and a reduction of internal taxation are essential to the economic wellfare of the country, and the Democrats are willing to make the issue eight there, but the Republicans say the revision should be made by a Republican CoDgress. They seem to think it will be easier to win votes by failing back upon de nunciation of the solid South for what they call its efforts to set aside the result of the war than by explain ing the difference between tariff re¬ vision to re-dnee texation and a revis ion of the system.” tariff in the interest of the j protective This is in keeping with what the News baa been saying for several weeks. It is evident that the Republicans aro afraid to meet the Democrats in a square contest on the tariff issue, notwithstanding all the exultant boosts which they made, following the lead of Mr. Blaine, irn mediately after the delivery of the J President’s message. And hence the concerted effort all along the lino to revive old war passions of sectional and race antagonisms,the only issues on which the Republicans, in time of peace, ever did win, and the only ones, it seems, on which they think they have a chance to win. THEKDLE*Dl r M AND TWEEDLE-DEE We thought it would come. It was inconceivable that the Republi cans would allow the appointment and confirmation of a Democratic Chief .Justice of tho United States without finding, or forging, some oc cision to raise a war-whoop. It seems that Mri Mobile WJ Fulfil was a Democratic member of the Iili nois Assembly in 18<*3, and that, be ing a Democrat. 1 o was not in sym pithy with the policy of tho N itior.al Republican Administration, purticu larly as to the emancipation of the slaver. It does not appear that he loved the Union less because ho ce spaired, if lie did despair, of its resto ration by mere force of arms but that he did not take the extreme Radical view of tho situation. For this his loyalty is impeached, and on that pretext, his nomination is to bo held up by tho Republicans in the Senate until after the presidential election, if they think they cm safe ly do tbi Afi ut the : uie Mr. Fuller whs put ting on tiio rcc rd of legislation his hopes and fears of his country in the darkest hours of her history, and id ; * j the thick . of a gloom , no eyes could ,, penetrate, Mr. Mmat Halstead was writing to his friend Mr. Chase lot ters of the same despairing nature: the most patriotic and devoted men were in a state of soie perplexity and distress-, and even as late ns Jannmy, 180",. vie. Lincoln, whose loy.i ty v ill hardly be questioned j j t by Mr Halstead, was so far line ; tain and solicitious about fur r . tilt of th • 'prolongation cf iuu;<- i l .tifi', lira* i.c personally met the A’.tv President of tho Seatliern Can V.Jersey for the purpose of dis cussing terns f o~ ending ir It is tin; tint row v. »♦.» it ; nil ni i w \v* i ’ If Mr. Line fii were , -«:i i,.. iiccofdic^ to cur ren t i\- pnbi.cm logic, ineh'iikle for «"• '" sli ~ "‘'”1' or *“•' V» ,ion and there agreed if those Commissioners would Union at the top of the p *g« might fill it up with whatever honor and trust, because, defy ng stay at horns soldiers and war on states men, he went to Hump Roads to confer with Jeff Daria’ they saw fit. Too offense of Mr. sinks into insignificance by side of this horrible treason of Lincoln. Moreover, Justice John M. Harlan, of Kentucky, himself doubted the of that proclamation, aad toe evil tendencies of the R« publican party, he canvassed the State of Kentucky for that ally of tho Conf' -’ cy, McClellan, on a platform dt- • ing the war to be a failure. Yet > opposition was rais ed to ti. at. nnation of Mr Harlan twelve j .rs Inter. We commend this early lesson in patriotic history to tho pious consid era lion of Air.

In thfl realm of disease tho facts of lo¬ ir ritanee are moat numerous and are daily accumulating. Here, alas, they become ter¬ rible, fateful and overw helming. No fact of nature is more pregnatit with awful mean¬ ing than the fact of the inheritance of disease. It meets the physician on his daily rounds, paralyzing his art and f iling him with dismay. The legend of the ancient Greeks pictures the Furies as pursuing families from generation to generation, rendering them desolate. Tho Furies stlU ply their work of terror and death, but they are not now clothed in the garb of supersti¬ tion, but appear in the more intelligible but no less awful form of hereditary disease. Modern science, which has Illuminated so many dark corners of nature, has shed a new light on the ominous words of the Scriptures, "The sins of the fathers shall bo visited upon the child run unto the third and fourth generation.” Ir. * an cos of hereditary disease abound. Fifty per cent, of cases of c .Rsumptl 'n, that fearful destroyer of fami¬ lies. of cancer and scrofula, run in families through Inheritance. Insanity is hereditary in a marked degree, but, fortunately, like many other hereditary diseases, tends to wear Itself out. the sloek becoming extinct. A distinguished scientist truly says: "No organ or texture of tho body Js exempt from the chance of being the subject of hereditary disease." Probably more chronic diseases, which permanently modify the structure and functions of the body, are more or less liable to be inherited. The important and far reaching practical deductions from such facts—affecting so powerfully tho happiness of Individuals and families cud the collective w elfare of the nation—arc obvious to reflec¬ ting minds, and tho best means for prevent¬ ing or curing these diseases ia a subject of Intense tatervst to a'.!. Fortunately nature has provided a rem * ly, which experience l»as attested as Infallible, and the remedy i» tho w:-»rid famous Swift’* ftpectflc. a pure vegetable compound--nature’s antidote for all bl od poisons.
