! son after season, for it was Kirby who
wrapped the American Dag around him
self, walked down to the footlights, fired
off two horse pistols and died like a son of
a gnn. [Applause and loud and continued
laughter.]
“Poor Kirby actually died long ago,and
his bones, rest his soul, were carriedto the
potter's field. All that he has left of him
self as an heirloom is the Republican
party, and that is bound to the same des
tination. [Applause.] Gentlemen, I did
uot intend to stir you up to such a pitch of
levity. Thia is’ no laughing matter.
[Cheers.] Let’s dry our eyes and come to
the main point. Let us seriously consider
the republican platform upon the great
issue which has become the leading and
only issue of the campaign.
“It starts out by saying, after a few ex
ceedingly funny remarks: ‘We are uncom
promisingly in favor of the American sys
tem of protection.’ The American system
of protection! And ail of a sudden it re
iterates. ‘the American system of protec
tion must be maintained.’ Now, fellow
citizens, that means nothing at allj nothing
whatever. The system of protection which
exists in this country is no more an Amer
ican system than a Russian system, a Ger
man system, or a French system of protec
tion, for protection exists in all these
countries.
“Fifty years before free trade was seri
ously thought of in England it existed
here in America. Actually existed fifty
years before Cobden and Peel carried their
measure of free trade in England, the gov
ernment of the United t-tates, with Wash
ington as President and Hamilton as Sec
retary of the Treasury, offered to carry on
free trade between this country and Eng
land, and the offer was rejected by Eng
land.
“At the very moment when Mr. Clay
gave the term American to the system of
protection proposed by him, the English
tariff was higher than our tariff, and
England was a greater paotectionist
country than the United States. All Mr.
Clay contended for was three and then
nine years, as being quite enough to estab
lish our infant industries. But, this re
publican platform is contending for pro
tection, to establish infant industries now
fifty, sixty and one hundred years of age.
[Laughter.]
“It wss not until the republicans this
year were reduced to their present state
that they tried to uroposc protection as a
principle instead of a policy, and in doing
so they went contrary to the utterances of
their own statesman and their own plat
form, this one always excepted. Inline-
We extract the following from the
effective speech of Mr. Henry Watterson,
delivered in New York last Fridsy night:
“Rut the two plstforms of the two great
parties on exhibition and see how they
stand on this great national issue. The
tariff is simply a tax levied by the govern
ment on articless of importation, to raise
money enough for its own support. We
Lave high and low tariffs, and war and
peace tariffs. The present tariff unites all
the bad features of all the bad tariffs that
preceded it. [Applause.] It is a peace
tariff on a war footing. [Applause.] It
multiplies all the burdens put on the
country in time of war. These burdens
were laid upon the people to meet a public
exigency. Those who supported them de
clared that this tariff - should not out-last
that exigency. Twenty-three years after
the war the same persons, leaders in the
party, we oppose, have not only failed to
fulfill their pledges, but have increased
these burdens. [Applause.] To-day
tfiey are greater than when called
into being by military necessity. The
'very men who brought them into being
now go back on their pledges and tell us
dime burdens are here forever; that even
if they arc changed at all, they shall not
Lc made lower, but higher. This brings
vne to that fantastical ebullition, that curi
ous receptacle of dry bones and dead lan
guages, that comic,’that antiquated comic
witnanac and last chapter in the gospel of
Mammon, the republican national plat
form. [Prodigious laughter.]
"I have had a little experience in plat
form-making myself. [Laughter.] I know
something of what it is to he accused of
being too iionest and seeing too far ahead
for the uses of this world. [ Laughter.]
Rut if I Mere a republican and had con
structed such a platform as has my friend
McKinley, I would not be living to tell the
title. [Renewed laughter.] It is a most
astonishing and irrelevant piece of jocos
ity, a most curious and whimsical going
hack into the dark ages in quest of some
thing and not finding it [laughter], and it
■is only to be compared with Dr. Burchard’s
celebrated oration to Blaine. [Great
daughter and Applause.]
“How could any one be so funny and
ret so blind? ’this platform says the
Republican party condemns the policy of
fife democratic administration in its effort
■to demonetize silver and favors the reduc
tion of letter postage to one cent. It was
the Republican party not the Democratic
■jjarty that demonetized silver. The Dem
ocratic parly, not the Republican party,
tried to remonetize it. [Applause.]
Republican party condemns the
■ policy’.of the treasury deportment under
three of its own administrations. On one
occasion John Sherman was at the head of
that department and perhaps that is the
reason the Republic*:: party denounces its
attitude. [Laughter.] Democratic Sena-
Hot Beck tried to get a one cent postage

whole subject and will soon suggest a
remedy for the evil [Applause.] The

Jparty declares its opposition to foreign

dominion? A friend of mine who has re
cently returned from an extensive tour
abroad—he is not Mr. Blaine [laughter]—
ihi* friend of mine told me that the only
American ship he encountered in his cruise
around the world was an old confederate
cruiser stranded somewhere on the coast
of Barbary, and serving as a kind ef wharf-
: boat. [Laughter.] But still this republi
can platform demands the return of our
lost merchant marine. Amarine lost by
a. quarter ol a century of republican policy.
L'‘l am*going to.phss over the gabble about

diately following this declaration in favor
of the American system of protection, I
find this quotation referring to that sys
tem: ‘Its abandonment has always been
followed by general disaster to every inter
est except those of the usurer and the
sheriff.’
“Why, gentlemen, it never has been
abandoned at all. We have had, as I
have said, high tariffs and low tariffs, war
tariffs and peace tariffs, and the country
has had good and bad times under all of
them. Bat we never have had, since the
beginning ol the government, any tariff
that did uot contain protection and plenty
of it. f Applause.] There never was such
wide-spread min and disaster as the great
panic of 1673, although wo had at that

“I say that we have had good times and
bad times under all tariffs. The idea that

HU Speech Before UU District Convention
nt Covington Yesterday.
Covington, Ky., Sept. 18.—The session
of the democratic congressional convention
of the sixth Kentucky district to-day in Cov-
iugton waa an interesting occasion. The
crowd wss far beyond the limits of the ac
commodations, although there was no shadow
of doubt as to the action of the convention.
Mark Gray, of Grant comity, placed John G.
Carlisle in nomination and Theodoie llallam
made an eloquent speech in seconding the
motion. The nomination was made with
great enthusiasm, and upon Mr. Carlisle ap
pearing there was an outburst of applause
lasting several minutes.
After expressing his grateful apprecia
tion and the devotion of his friends, who
have now placed him in nomination for the
eighth time, to represent them in congress,
Mr. Carlisle said: “The great question
before this country is the question ot federal
taxation. It makes but little difference
whether I am elected to congress or not, but
it is of overwhelming importance to the peo
ple that the next House of Representative*
should be democratic. [Applause.] And
that the next president shuuld be / demo
cratic also, [Cheers] The politi
cal parties' have nominated their
candidates and made formal
declarations of their principles, and you will
he called upon next November to decide be
tween them. The Republican party has
chosen as its standard bearer Mr. Harrison,
a respectable lawyer of Indianapolis, for
President, nud for Vice President Levi P.
Morton, a very rich banker in Wall street.
Tbe Democratic party has selected a true
and tried, non-corruptiblff President, who
now fills the chair, a man who has brought
the administration back to the ways of the
constitution and given to this people a clean,
conservative and faithful administration ol
law. [Cheers.] With him they have associ
ated Mr.Thurman [cheers], who for many
long years bos been the best and truest rep
night, the money ol the people, money
which they need in their business, is being
poured into the public treasury
where it is not needed. [Cheers.] To re
lieve the treasury from this enormous amount
and prevent disaster to the business of the
country, the administration is compelled to
purchase outstanding bonds of the govern
ment at an enormous premium, bo that the
bondholder is, by reason of the unfortunate
situation in which the revenue laws have
been left, taking from the people millions
and millions of dollars in excess of
the amount which his obligation calls
for, and our friend, Mr. Harrison,
in his recent letter of acceptance says this
process should go on and the money should
continue to he paid to the bondholders. Mr.
Sherman, former secretary of the treasury,
takes substantially the same ground and
ciiticizes in a harsh manner the actions of
the present administration in depositing
part of thia money in national hanks, that it
can be loaned to the people and go thas in
to the people and go thus into the channels
of trade.”
“The records of the department will sus
tain tbe statement that while Sherman was
Secretary of the treasury, he lmd at one
time in a single national bank, more money
than this administration has to-day in all the
national banks of the United States.
[Cheers.] Now the great question you are
to decide is whether this system of taxation
shall he continued indefinitely or whether
the countrp will return to the methods of
taxation which prevailed in thia country be
fore the war.
THE INIQUITOUS TRUSTS.
“In addition to the facts that this system
of taxation is imposing enormous an unnec
essary burdens upon tbe people, that it has
accumulated in the treasury large sums of
money which ought to be in the hands of
those who earn it by their labor and skill, it
is the jparent of trusts and combinations, and
conspiracies to control the products and
prices of necessary articles which the peo
ple are compelled to use. When I see Mr.
Blaine, who seems to be the mouth-piece of
the Republican party, giving
neither the President nor any one else has
any particular right interfere. [Applause
and laughter.] Why, my friends, larceny is
a private affair, a very private affair
[laughter], and yet it is not supposed im
proper to interfere with it by law. The
highwayman who meets you on a public
road, and demands your money or your iife,
is engaged in the transaction of a private
enterprise, but still the law takes cognizance
of bis act and punishes it as crime. [Ap
plause],
BLAINE’S THEORIES EXPOSED.
“Now, gentlemeD, Blaine has not been oc
cupying a very good position from which to
view the interests of the American working
man, farmer or consumer. The top of Car
negie’s coach, as it bowled along with its
liveried outriders over tbe hills ot Scotland,
is not agood place fr->ui which t>* look at
the interest of America [Applause], nor are
the festal hills of Ciuny Castle a very good
point either. [Applause.] . Blaine had
better stay at home or stay abroad,
one or the other. [Cheers.] Had
he come here to his own country and
mingled with farmers, with consumers, with
laboring men of the land, he would have a
better opportunity to know what they de
sired than he could possibly have while din
ing and wining with the aristocracy of
Hurope. Tt ia said, gentlemen, that even if
suiners of the country, the wages of our
laborers must ho mniutaiued; therefore, high
rates of taxation must he continued.
‘If ] had time I think 1 could show to the
satisfaction of every intelligent ami candid
man within the sound of my voice that the
wages of the laborer arc no more affected by
the rate of duties upon imported goods than
the yie dot corn to the acre on your faAus is
affected by It. [Applause.] And miUvPt-the
c-tiief benefits of the system, in the anima
tion of Mr. Harrison, is the fact that the peo
ple do not know how much they are paving.
When a mao’s money is taken nway from
him without liis knowledge some malicious
people cull it stealing. [Applause.]
“1 leek forward, sssUemesi” raid he
the ides Of November for the achievement of
one of the grandest democratic victories ever
witnessed in this country. [Uproarious
cheers nud applause.] I know time if the
intelligent and honest men of Ibis country
will take up this question of federal taxation,
unbiased by political prejudices, unawed by
pnliti.-ul power, they will give a just and
righteous decision and Cleveland [cheers]
and Thurman [cheers] will be elected by
majorities much larger than that -which se
cured the presidency for us in ’84. [Pro
longed cheers an! applause.]
This administration, by its
prudent and conservative course, by its
honest and faithful execution of the law in
all parti of the couutry, has removed all
the apprehensions of danger and disaster
which seemed »« prevail m the minds of
some of our opponents four years ago. No
man can say that the affairs of the people
and the affairs of the government are not as
secure in the heads of the great national
Democratic party as iu the bonds of any
other political party that ever existed in
this country. [Loud sheering.] This
it our country av well as the
country of onr republican friends.
[Cheers.] We have as much interest -n its
greatness, in its glory, as they can possibly
have, and no matter what may befall us us a
political party, we will stand hereafter as
we have stood in the past through disaster
and defeat, steadily and firmly by the prin
ciples which be believe to be right ami for
tire beet interests of the people.”
Knthusiastic cheers that continued a long
white greeted Mr. Carlisle at the conclusion.
RAMBLES AMONG WORDS.
want to call y'onr attention to the over
whelming importance of the great question
which ia now presented for tne decision of
the people, and I congratuie you on tbe fact
that at last, after many long years of strag
gle, we have got this question fairly and
squarely before the people. [Cheers.] Itia
declared in the democratic platform that un
necessary taxation is unjust taxation, and by
that declaration the Democratic party will
stand or fall in this contest.”
Mr. Carlisle then touched upon the treas
ury surplus, bond purchases, deposits of the
treasury, accumulation in national banks
and trusts, and devoted considerable time to
relying in detail to the argnmeut put forth
by Blaine in his recent speeches in Maine,
and Harrison in his letter of acceptance.
He had begun his remsrks by saying he
wonld not make a speech and he cios|d by
saying that be had not attempted to make
an argument but simply to state some propo
sitions wbicn he thought the people ought
to take into consideration in this campaign
Touching the surplus Mr. Carlisle said:

surplus revenue collected during the first

Turning to the Right. r

Tbe custom of “turning to the right" is
not by any means universal in the United
Stale*, as is readily forced upon one’s no
tice by a visit to Charleston, S. C., and
other southern cities, where the English
custom it still retained. “Turn to the
right” is the inexorable law of custom in
Philadelphia, New York. Boston, Chicago,
and other large commercial citiee, hot in

lutely no custom whatever, ami it is to the
right or left, u opportunity offers.

A*I‘erusaI of tlio Dictionary Will Not be
Time or Labor Wasted.
From tbe San Francisco Chronicle.
One of the pleasantest and most enter
taining literary exclusions that can be
taken is into the dictionary. For this
purpose it matfeis little what dictionary is
selected, whether Worcester or Webster, or
Stormoutb, or even Walker cr Johnson,
tlie rambler will find much to amuse him,
if he he only on pleasure bent, and much
to instruct him it he he actuated by a more
serious purpose.
When the fair Juliet asked “What’s in
a name?” and answered her own query by
the declaration that “that which wo call a
rose by any other name would smell as
sweet,” it was a piece of special pleading
intended to carry Conviction to herself and
to prove to herself that Montague and Cap-
ulct were not, or need not he, necessarily
hostile each to the other; and, being at
once and in her own person advocate,judge
and jury, it is little wonder that she got a
verdict in her favor; but the judgment in
that case, being so notoriously obtained
upon an ex parte presentation of the ques
tion, lias never been considered as a prece
dent to be followed. Names and words are
more than mere empty sounds; they arc
things, and nowhere, except in a land peo
pled by deaf mutes, can their importance
be called in question.
But it is rather with what we can find in
the course of a ramble among words than
witii linguistic dissertations that we are
now interested. There are two methods of
amusing oneself witii the dictionary. One
is to take a word which may have struck
the eye or ear as peculiar or unusual and
hunt it down, anJ, when caught, strip it
of all tlie additions which have been made
to it by time, transmission, euplionistic
considerations and all the rest, and see
what the word is and why it is.
Another way is to open the dictionary
at random and trust to luck for Hushing a
word from some unsuspected covert or
finding it concealed or disguised in such a
way as to almost defy recognition; foryour
word is a shy bird and will often lie so
close as almost to be stepped on before
making itself visible. It may be ot in
terest to experiment a little with both
these methods, merely by way of sugges
tion to future dictionary ramblers.
Taking up a recent publication, we find
advertised a forthcoming “anagogical”
story by a well-known author. Now,
what in the name of all the diction
ary makers is an “anagogical” story? Is
it to be of such a character that it can be
described only by such a /harsh-sounding
word as that, which is reminiscent of
cholagogue and ‘’fever ’n’nger,” or of the
pedagogue and his birchen rod? Let us
see wiiat kind of a story this can be. Our
friend,* the dictionary, informs us that
“anagogical” means no more nor less than
mysterious, and so our pedantic author
or his pendantic publisher has inflicted on
us such a barbarous word as anagogical
merely to inform us that the author in
question is going to publish a mysterious
story. But why is anagogical any better,
for any purpose, than mystfrious? One is
just as good Greek as the other, and the
latter word lias the advantage of being
“understanded by the people,” while the
other is certainly “caviare to the general.”
Opening a book at random, we chance
upon tlie word “trivial.’ It is a word
which needs no accurate definition. We
all know what it means; we do not know
ur stop to think of its origin. Trivial
means, by its derivation—from tri, three,
and via, ways—pertaining to tlie meeting
of three streets or roads, and undoubtedly
tiles from the habit, as common in
cient Rome as elsewhere, of stopping to
chat or gossip on the street corners or in
the space formed by the intersection of
streets. When It L remember—1 - - - - • nyte
iuaily the word was feminine in gender,
that is, in Latin, wc may at least hazard a
guess that Roman matrons and maidens
were not averse to stopping on the corners
to chat or to exchange confidences about
the fit of Cornelia’6 new tunic, or how be
coming the toga irilis was to young Sem-
pouius Atlicus or to complain, as now
adays, of the imprudence and carelessness
of tlie domestic servants, bond or free.
But now let us take a brief ramble
through the dictionary, taking it in alpha
betical order. Here is a list of words,
none of which are technical terms, which
will at least put our young readers to their
bumps to detine, and maybe some of our
scholars may have to think twice before
speaking. Here is the list: Aberuncator,
tiipectinate, caulescent, deg, enede, fescue,
giecu, hederal, ischial, luddock, kage, iim-
ii.it, luetic, bar, oscitsnt, pir.gstcr, qucachy,
rathe, skeg, tew, ubication, vcrrely, wynn,
xyphoid, yergas and zoutcli. This list was
selected without any special care and in a
very short time, but it may he sufficient to
show that there are hidden treasures in the
dictionary worth seeking.
Wlmt the dictionary does not contain is
often ai surprising os what it does. For
example, the very common word “seepage”
is uot findable, although the word “seep"
•is given. “Sparsely,” too, a word in com
mon use, Webster disowns, giving “spar-
sedly” instead, although lie docs admit
“sparsely” in the list of additional words.
It used to he said, and we believe cor
rectly, that tlie only place in Webster’s
i mihridged Dictionary where the wbrd
"unabridged” couid be found was on the
cover, os it was not admitted into the body
of the work; but this may have been in
pursuance of a general plan to exclude
negative prefixes.
When we come to degnitions we lose
much of tlie pleasure which the previous
generation enjoyed. Modem editors
of dictionaries have improved on the
earlier ones. Webster no longer defines a
boil as a “circumscribed subcutaneous pus
tular eruption, suppurating with a central
core, as tlie original dictionary did; nor
would Johnson now define oats as “agrain
used for food for horses iu England and
iUf U1CU iu iXUUdliU. AUU Uuucuuy 04
modern lexicographers is to explaiu,
instead of trying to define a word by giv
ing the student another, and for this pur
pose the illustrations in modern dictiona
ries are very nseful.
We have said enough to show that ram
bles among words may be amusing as well
as instructive, and we can do no better
than to recommend to students of all ages
tlie study of tlie dictionary. No one, no
matter how richly endowed by native tal
ent or even genius, can hope to know a
language, even his mother tongue, by intu
ition, nor even by hearing it spoken. If
he wants to understand tbe nice shades of
meaning, the distinctions which make style
and literary perfection, he must studv the
dictionary, and he may rest assured that it
will not be time or labor wasted.

A MILD CASE
Detected nt Albany and Promptly Sent to
Quarantine Station.
Albany, Sept. 18.—[Special.]—It having
been reported to tbe mayor through the city
physician that a negro from Jacksonville,
who had yellow fever, had been detained at
the quarantine station two miles from the
city, a citizens’ meeting was called .at which
it was determined that three of our reliable
physicians should he sent over to make a
careful diagnosis of the case and report at u
subsequent meeting.
At a citizens’ meeting held this afternoon
at 4 o’clock, the three physicians reported
that it was a mild case of yellow fever, that
it ws» properly quarantined, provided for
and entirely isolated.
Upon motion n committee was appointed
to make an honest report of the facts for
publication so as to avoid all unnecessary
apprehension and alarm.
The committee certified to the above facts
as stated, and add: “This statement of
facts is sent out to allay fear
and correct any incorrect reports that may
be circulated under the present excited state
of public opinion with reference to yellow
fever. We have no yellow fever in Albany,
but have strict quarantine regulations, ns is
shown by the prompt detection ami deten
tion of this case.

“We, the undersigned physicians, having
made the diagnosis,“indorse the foregoing
statement and feel assured that the above
mentioned case, being properly guarded,
provided for anU isolated, will" lead to no
propagation of the disease.

It has always been supposed that only
in figure of speech is it a pride and pleas
ure to touch the hem of a garment; at any
rate, that whatever satisfaction was thus
derivable was of a deeply sentimental
character, such as only a very highly sen
sitized young man might discover in ar
ranging the bangs of an intense young
woman, or m blowing an imaginary cinder
out of her liquefied eye. Such a pleasure
Sterne descrines in his ‘ Sentimental Jour
ney through Italy and France,” when the
Paris grisette stitched up n rip that she
observed of a sudden in his silken hose.
But it would appear that the hem of a gar-
men in and by itself may cluster about
tself the enchanted affections of those most
temporarily ioclined. Chief Justice Fuller’s
judicial gown has stirred the artistic world
cf merchant tailors. Every stitch upon it
has conferred an ineffable pleasure and an
enduring pride. In the construction of his
robe Mr. Fuller hr* violated •!! j>r»cH“n!.
The rule of stare decisis has been disre
garded, and, iu obedience to a mere obiter
dictum of the fnnev, ho haa left the Wash-
iugton tailors iu the lurch, aud has had his
silk vestment built in Chicago. Time out
of mind the supremo court lias patronized
a Washington firm. This fact added an
extra polish to tlie lustre ri Heeled upon
the Chicago house by ihe exorbitant rank
of the fabric which their genius and skill’
was to invent and perfect all at
once Last Saturday the garment was
completed and delivered. The gentlemen
who did tlie work are enthusiastic in
praise of its beauties. It wn- made from
eighteen varus uf groa grain silk, ousting
nearly one hundred little gold dollars. It
was impose! 1 le to say how many modistes,
cutters and seamstresses worked upon it
for nearly a week before it was finally con
sidered tit to endorse tlie embodiment of
law and equity. The greatest excitement
prevailed m the entire department during
ihe making of the gown and when it was
finally wrapped in tlie finest tissue paper
and put in charge of a dozen clerks as a
body guard to bo conveyed to the chief
justice’s residence, it is said that there was
not a cash boy in the department who did
not feel that he had been adding renown
t> Chicago’s history, and incidentally
transmitting his firm’s name to a far-away
posterity.

Parts itorrcspondcnce Newport News, Sept. 1.
Here is a new and characteristic story of
Bernhardt, told me by a gentleman who
took her sleighing when she was in Can
ada across fields of unbroken snow, in-
crusted by a slightly frozen surface after a
mild rain Sarah was in raptures over
the glittering whiteness of the landscape,
anil, suddenly rising in tlie sleigh, while
the horses were moving slowly ulutig, she
throw herself with great force out of the
vehicle, face downward, into The snow.
Her companions were alarme I at her fall
ami sprang to help her. .She allowed them
to lift her as a dead weight, cautioning
them to be gentle, when on regaining her
feet, she cried out witii a ringing laugh as
she pointed to the impression she had
made, “Bee Sarah Bernhardt, an intaglio
in the snow! 1 have modeled myself, gen
tlemen!” It was true, and there wss no
mistaking the resemblance even to all the
long lines of her figure and garments. The
force of her fall had left the face os clear
cut as a mask.
Bismarck's Precarious irenltli.
From tbe loiadon T uth, Aug. '.9.
Prince Bismarck has been seriously out
ot health for the last two months, lie was
much tried by the Emperor William’s
death and by tlie conflicts which incessantly
prevail'd during the reign of his successor.
He has lately suffered from insomnia, and
has liren well dosed with bromide of am
monia draughts. He walks very little and
has quite lost his appetite. Noiiietime ago
tbe prince ceased to observe the regimen
pres: ribed by Dr. Bcliwerniiiger, aud lie
commenced to smoke incessantly, and
drank ten or twelve tumblers of hoerevery
day. These irregularities thoroughly up.et
his digestive organs, and he b. came fear
fully irritable, the result being that Dr.
Byhwerninger is sgain in’ command • nt
FrieJrichsruhe, and his patient is confined
to a nourishing but very simple dH, and
bis only drink is a little weak whisky and
water, which may he taken either hot or
cold, but unsweetened.
