The population 1m now probably 00,

imrlod out there would be 110,000,000
people who earn wacn, or live by
work. Of thin number nearly one

hear of the splendid prognns of the
republican cause In other;parts of the
west. Then the general himself
greets with unaflccted simplicity
thoHC who come to see him, Impresses
all with Ills munline and worth,
und In brief speeches gives toall the
master thoughts which unlock the
disputed problems of current dis
cussion. A man so frank, so manly
mid ho judicious, gains conlklence
and affection every day. General
Harrison has done more to assist his
own election, merely by showing
himself the man that lie is, than
any other speaker contributor or
leader has yet done for him. The
political influence of these meetings
at his home can hardly bo ovui esti
mated. Friends and foes will
have to admit whether western
states give remarkable republi
can majorities as now seems proba
ble, or fall behind expectations, that
they would have done less for the
republican cause If a candidate so
peculiarly ipialilled as General Har
rison had not been nominated, or if
he had kept silent. His own per
sonal strength, the hearty apprecia
tion of the sound sense, prudence,
ability and patriotism helms shown,
will be worth thousands of votes to
his party when the decisive struggle
come", and justify confident hopes
of victory in every western state.
Tribune.
I'uoii.vm.Y tho most obtuse busi
ness men in the world are the man
ufacturers of the United States.
They haven't the slightest idea of
what is to their interest. Here are
tlio democrats working tooth and
nail to have all manner of things
put on the free list m that our niun
ufaetureis can "Hood the markets of
the world," to use Mr. Mills' lan
guage, with American-made goods,
and these blind manufacturers can't
see It. They aro foolish enough to
believe that the under paid labor of
Kuropo would Mood our own markets
with eheanlv-mado irnoita. the effect
of which would be to drive them out
of business.
Jamiis W. IIiiown of Detroit
thinks marriage isa failure, but that
has noL been his opinion always.
Ho has been married thirty-three
times since 18s:i, but, as bo is await
ing sentence for bigamy now, his
career Is probably ended. Throe
years' Imprisonment for caoh afleiifc
will Insure his retirement from tlio
world for ninety-six years.
I'hiwiiiiiktCi.kvuijAXI) is report

llcd with tho nomination of Gov.
Hill, but this Is no reason why
George William Curtis should
niodiry his assertion that "Hill will
not get the support of the friends of
reform and decent polities."
Tilt) OriKln '' "ti. k."
The foolish story that this cabalis
tic sIku had Its origin In a misappre
hension of President Jackson, who Is
suppoaed to have spelled it "Oil
Konvcet," is again going the rounds.
A Kentucky Journal, traces tho use
of the expreaslon back to the famous
Whig campaign of lS-lti, ami It Is not
unlikely that it was used then, but
Its real origin goes buck yet further
to the days when Old Keokuk, tho
only and original "O. K.," umhI to
atllx tho Initial letter of his name to
government treaties at thetiine when
Hlaok Hawk, his formidable rival,
was kicking over the traces and try
ing to create a muss by seeking to
nullify everything that ho did. The
"O. K." was too much, however,
for lllack Hawk, and even In that
etirly day It quickly oaine to mean
literally what It Is accepted as mean
ing to-day that It was proper and
in good form. Wo believe that the
best mithiirltlrtrt aro agreed that this
was the true origin of the term.
