Harrison'* pulse, temperature, respira
tion and cough decreased after she
reached Loon Lake, but the improvement
was only temporary, aud the cough and
fitter soon became as had as ever. Since
her return to Washington, a little over a
month ago, her cough has been continu

to 101 and her respiration from &0 to 00.
Iler pulse hna averaged 120."
“Can you ssy anything as to Mrs.
Harrison's general condition before the
disease made its appearance?"
“Yes; she Inherits tuberculosis. There
having been some coses that we have
found. Her brother and sister, I under
stand. died from the disease.”
“Are you willing to make any state-
ment as to treatment?"
"No," responded the doctor. “We did
all that could be done, faced with the cer
tain knowledge that there is nothing
known that will cure consumption. I
am not willing to give to the public any
statements that would cause comment
from physicians from opposing schools.

A ShocUIng rtutorial From the Yalta sal
Rtpsblltui It Resurrected.
New Y’ork, fh-t. 24.—The following was
issued today from the Democratic nation
al committee headquarters.
“New YVk. Oct. 2I.-The Democratic
committee has just successfully closed
one of the most interesting controversies
of the campaign. Gen. Joseph Wheeler,
n representative from Alabama, having
quoted in sporehes delivered in congress
in 1800 aud 1802 a shocking editorial of
the National ll'-publieau published
Thnrsdny, Jnlr 8, 1S80. the Republican*
resorted to the desperate expedient of
denying the exlstem-e of such n paper
nt the date in question, and declaring
Wheeler’s speeches to include forgery.
The congressional committee prodnros a
fso simile of the Nstiouni Republican
containing the article quoted by Ucn-
Whcelcr and also a certificate of seven
leading eidsrns of Washington verifying
the reproduction. The letter of Law

The text of tba articles referred is
as follows: .
“Whga through the operation of the
Lodge national election lsw* six nr
seven Southern state* shall discard Dem
ocratic rate, we shall look confidently to
see some measure of justice the blacks,
who bare been so long detrended oat
of their light*. Heavy taxes should b*
laid on the whites to develop and extend
the pabla- school system in those states.
Separate schools for the two races should
bo abolished, and the plan of bringing
the two races of both colors into «4os#
and equal relations:a schools and church
es given n fair trial as one of the most
potent si elements to break down the
detestable Ibinriwmlsm of the South. The
right of the blacks to bear arms should
be guaranteed him, as weU as all social
rights intended to be securest to him
by the postage of the fourteenth and fif
teenth amendments of the constitution.
The state laws against Intermarriage of
the re.v« should 1m* abandoned, and any
discrimination actiust the blacks in mat
ter of learning trades nr obtsinr em

fenses, wh.l" the color,-.1 man's right to
