The campaign lias not developed very f.ir, tout it is plainly to bo semi nlrcady that it is to be another cam paign of bugaboos. On the Republican aide the bugalnto to frighten recreant republicans is free trade; on the Dem ocratic side it is the surplus. Once more the Intelligent voter of America i to be solemnly assured that If he votes this way he is ture to bring dis aster, and if he votes that way sure to bring ruin on the country. The In- . i - : 1 1 l t : . i .1. t J . Neither party has any desire to bring either ruin or disaster. Both know that any such achievement would be the signal for Immediate defeat and overthrow. Both have the strongest possible reasons for desiring to avoid any such result. It 1st. a man easily frightened, or else one who has had little to do with American politics, who gives hi mselt up to the idea that the country is tost if the orher party gets into power. This country is preater than any party. Kt-ither the election of Harrison nor the re-election of Cleveland means rain or disaster to the country. One set of politicians will go in and another out that is about all. WASHINGTON LETTER. . - From oar regular corresiiondent.l Washington, July 20. The American party is to hold its national convention in this city August It for the purpose of nominating can didates for President and Vice Presi dent. Among the private pension bills passed by the Bouse last week was one for the relief of John Chase, who was wounded in foi ty-seveu different places during the late war. The number. of bills introduced in the Benate at the present session is largely In excess of the number e-er tiefore Introduced at a single session. They already number over 3300 and are still coming. jb'vnor Antonio Flores, President of the Republic of Ecuador, was given a formal reception at the White House by the President recently. Chaska, the Indian halfbreed, and his wife, formerly Miss Fellows of this elty,, are visiting here. They attract mueh attention', and the wife seems to enjoy the notoriety. Chaska appears to be indifferent. A bronze statue of Gen. Phil Kear ney was set up In the statuary hall at the Capitol this week. It was given fey the state of New Jersey. A constitutional amendment to be (tabmilted to the states, providing that the manufacture, importation, ex portation, transportation and sale of nil alcoholic, liquors as a beverage shall lie hereby forever prohibited in the Uuited States, and ia every place sub ject to their jurisdiction, has been fa vorably reported to the Senate. The protective tariff has no enemy r.iore to be feared than the man who l lncks all attempts at its readjustment :-::d reduction. If this country ever, abandons the idea of protection (in its proper sehse) it will be because its fool friends have by their unreasonable course rendered impossible its readjust ment as -changing conditions require. Protection must protect; when itce.ises to do that it is no longer protection. It must protect the industries that n-ed protection, not those which have outgrown the need. Our present tariff i a war tariff. It was fashioned to protect industries as they were a gen eration ago. Infant industries have grown since that time to Samsonian strength. The eountry has developed insrvelously in every direction. To .-him now that there is need for the rame" degree of protection, or a still Ii'sher degree, 13 to disprove all the claims that were advanced" for the theory then or can be advanced now. If a convalescent man is given a pair of crutches and assured that their use will' assist him iu recovering h's strength, what is he to think if, thirty years after, the same p-hysician assures him the crutches are just as much need as ever, and perhaps indeed he Keens even a stronger pair." Califor nia Prohibitionist. Yes, my son. I know the political fever has already commenced, and It will grow hotter with the weather; but don't you meddle with pr lltics, as I am grieved to sie you have already done to the extent of ruining two suits of clothes with kerosene oil and the c it of your stomach with whisky it would be better for you to-day, socially, morally, physically and financially, 1vk4- you drunk the kerosene and poured the whisky on your clothes, although your patriotic exhilaration would have suffered but when you do go into real politics, when you tri umph, triumph grrci usly, magnani mously, mercifully. But when the 1m ur of defeat comes, as come it will, let me advise you to "die easy." Don't ki:k; don't straggle after you are dead. It distorts the countenance, contracts the limbs, lends the features a hideous expression of ajrony and hate, and ter r. lies the mourners. When your time c mes "die easy."

' W. C.T. U. AND SUNDAY COLUMN. "JVetec on Earth and Good Will ' to Mm." A LETTER FROM. THE HOLY LAND. Jerusalem, March 12, I8S8. We arrived In Joppa Sabbath morn ing, February 20. Approaching Joppa from the sea one will be struck with the beauty of the scene. The Btrange sensation of looking upon a land sacred above any earthly place, the country of Jacob and David and Ruth and Rachel, amongst which the prophets of Israel taught, and the Savior of all men lived and was crucified ; the stony hillside town of Jopoa, to which the cedar wood was sent for the tem ple, the port from which Jonah sailed on his tempestuous voyage. Down by the shore to the south is the flat-roofed house that tradition says is where Peter slept and had his vid'on. The rude stairway we ascendednd which led to a view-which gives us all that Is needed for ihe hour the wide heavens above and in front the wide sweep of the blue Mediterranean sea, its nearer waves broken by the reefs. Fishermen are standing and wading among the rocks, such as might have been there of old, recalling to mind the apostles and their long-forgotten nets by the lake Gencsareth, the first promise of the future call to be fishers of men. The town of Joppa Is beautiful from the sea, but the reverse of this is true concerning its streets, which are dirty, narrow and winding. The houses are built promiscuously, and although looking picturesque from a distance, commands no admiration from a nearer view. Donkeys and camels heavilv laden may be nut ill the streets, but no wheeled vehicles are seen. The city until recently has been surrounded by a stone wall, which has been taken down by the Turkish government and the stone sold for building purposes. We visited a missionary school which was established by an Enerlish lady several years ago, and heard them re cite scripture verses and sing, and they seemed very bright children. A very interesting feature is the orange groves in and around Joppa, which are very extensive and the fruit is exquisite. On the trees myriads cf ripe luscious oranges may be seen, oval in shape and very large. Other fruit, too, lem ons, pomegranates, water melons, figs and dates also come to great perfection. For miles around the scene Is of lux uriant beauty. We saw the founda tion of the house where Peter raised Dorcas to life (see 9th chapter of Acts). We left Jopjia Monday morning, coming over to Jerusalem in carriages. We had a good dragoman with us wl.o could point out the places of the Bibk and we would open our Bibles and read right on the spot. We stooped at old Ramreh, ascended a tower from which we could see the sea, the mountains and many villages. We came through the valley ot Ajalon (see Joshua x:12), passed the traditional birthplace 6t John the Baptist, the sisht of Emmaus and the vallev of Gihoh in which Sol omon was annointed king of Israel, and Mizpah and Kirjath J carina, where the Ark of the Lord rested twenty years (see 1st Chronicles, xiii, 6-8.) From thence our course lends us to the top of a very high hill, with deep val leys on one side as the wild, high table laud is approaehtd, and we cannot crowd out of our thoughts the many associations connected "with the road we are traveling. Along this highway he Ark of tlie Ixrd was borne'in tri umph to Jerusalem, and at some point n the line of this route Chrit joined the two disciples who were on their way to Emmsus. From age to age thousands of Israelites nave weuded their quiet way along this road in or- i der that they might attend the feasts at Jerusalem. After reaching the hill top the Mount of Olives and a sight of the City the old Jerusalem bursts upon our view. It was about o o'clock iu the evening when we reached our hotel, very weary and our eyes tired from seeing the grand sights which had greeted our vision during the da But the next morning we were thor oughly rested and ready to proceed on our inspiriting march. Perhaps you would like to have me describe my first impressions of the Holy City. 'There is a stir and a sound of moving to and fro, the buz and hum of a multitude such as might have been heard two thousand yea ago. I looked for a city which even in hoary age had some" remains of its foimer magnificence, and I looked also for something that should remind me of ancieut people and ancient worship, i. e., venerable rabbis with long, gray lieards aud flowing robes, chanting the psalms of David, but I found very little to admire in its inhabitants. The city itself is very picturesque in situ ation, standing on trie mountain heigh-, and when seen from a distance witu its wails and towers its appearance is very striking, but when iu its streets it has all the unsightly features of an oriental town with narrow streets where there is no distinction between the roadway for beasts of burden and the path for human feet. Men and women are often crowded to the wall by horses, asses and camels, as human ity strives to pick its way over tl e rough stones, mire and filth. Moie than this, a peep through the open houses reveals the squalid wretchedness of the people and makes it hard to re alize that this is really Jerusalem. It U about 3000 feet above the level of the Mediterranean sea and very compactly built. The best way to get a general idea of the city is walk about Zion and go about her. This we obeyed liter ally, making a complete circuit of the city inside and outride the wails. Af ter visiting the Holy Fepulchre, Da- j vid's tomb, the house of Caiphns and many other sacred places in Jerusalem, f we made arrangements with our drag oman for a trip to the Jordan and the Dead sea, an excursion which con sumed three days and which is full of pleasant memories. There were four teen of us all, mounted on horses, lie sides our donkeys, muleteers, guide and sheik, armed with sword and pis tols. We made a very formidable looking party. The day we went and the day we spent at the Dead sea were beautiful, but we returned in a dread ful storm of wind and rain. Among the objects of interest we saw Elisha's fountain (2d Kings, i:21), the site of ancient Gilgal (Joshua v, and the valley of Anchor (Joshua vii). and we ate our lunch at the ford o&i Jordan, that place in sacred history where the children of Israel crossed over from" their long journeyings in the wilderness. The men all went bathing in the Dead sea and also in the Jordan. The Dead sea has a lovely beach lined with beautiful shells. The water is very clear, while the Jor dan is very muddy. I took elf my shoes and stockings as a child would do and waded in the sacred stream to my heart's content. On our return trip we stopped at Bethany and saw the remains of the home of Mary and Martha aud the tomb of Lazarus. We climbed the Mount of Olives twice, where we saw Absolom's tomb and those of Mary and Joseph and the judges, kings and prophets. We spent some time in the Garden of Getl sem ane, a sacred spot to every Chrhtian heart. In fact, we visited all the hills around Jtrusalcm, and made a two days' trip on horses down to Bethle hem and Hebron. On the way we saw Rachel's tomb, and Abraham's .iid Sarah's tomb at Hebron in the fiivc of MuHipeh'h. W n" saw Abraham's oak, by the aide of which his tent war pitched when he enter tained the angels who visited hltu just In-fore the destruction of Sodom, We have been here two weeks yesterday and have plaus in store for another week, but we are so . very busy that time flies very rapidly.
