Article 1, section 8, cl.inso 1 of the
permanent constitution of tho Confed
erate states, adopted when in rebellion,
on March 11, 1861, was as follows:
"Tho congress shall have power to lay
and collect taxes, duties and excises foi
revenuo only, necessary to pay tho debts,
provide for tho common defense and
carry on the government of tho Confed
erato states; bnt no bounties shall be
granted from tho treasury, nor shall
any duties or taxes on importations from

The Democratic national convention
adopted as its tariff platform, Juno 22,
1892:
"Wo declare it to be a fundamental
principle of tho Democratic party that
tho federal government has no constitu
tional power to enforce and collect tariff
duties except for tho purpose of revenue
only.'1
Absolutely Unassailable.
President Harrison is absolutely im
pregnable to personal attack. There is
not an open joint in his armor at any
point. His stainless life, his personal
probity, his exalted character and his
high conceptions of public duty baffle
and silence all strictures that might be
directed against him as a man and as a
candidate. His conspicuous purity, fit
ness and ability are recognized on all
sides. By the universal testimony he
has discharged tho obligations of the
presidency with the most conscientious
fidelity, and his Democratic antagonists
concede that, personally, he is absolute
ly unassailable. Philadelphia Press.
A Featlicr In Reciprocity Cap.
A feature of the McKiuley tariff worth
noting is that, while it has decreased im
portations from Canada to the "United
States, it has increased exportations
from tho United States to Canada. The
natural buying and selling markets for
Canada are in the United States, and
the foreign border between it and its
markets is becoming more and more an
unbearable bnrden and nuisance ever'
year. Binghamton Republican.
A IMaiii Issue.
With Cleveland as the Demtcratic

REMINISCENCES DF 1888.
Why tho Sew York World Thought CleT-
land IVcultcr Than IZla I arty.
On the 12th of January, 18S9, the New
York World devoted a leader, over n
column in length, to a statement of the
reasons which, in its opinion, had com
bined to compass the defeat of the Dem
ocrats in the presidential election of
1888. This article will be read with in
terest just now. Ifc will be seen that it
was tho candid opinion of Tho World
in 18S9 that its party had lost tho presi
dency the year before, not tlirough .any
fault of its owa, but because of the con
spicuous and many sided weakness of its
candidate, Grovcr Cleveland. Mr. Cleve
land's immediate partisans are fond of
arguing that ho is better than his party.
The World does not go into the question
of ethics, but it distinctly charges that
he was weaker than the Democracyfoui
years ago.
Obviously, what gives peculiar signifi
cance to the article in question is the
fact that The World at present is as
suring its readers that Mr. Cleveland
was nominated ou and not in spito of his.
record. What is his record on -The
World's own showing? It is the record
of an official who pursued a vacillating
course; who betrayed tho cause of civil
service reform; who did the right thing
at the wrong time; who erected a per
sonal administration of his own; who
ignored tho wishes of the majority of
the peoplo and of tried and true piarty
.leaders; who treated his cabinet
officers as though they were so many
clerks; who cruelly snubbed the Dem
ocracy of New York eity; - who
committed a preposterons blunder
in his choice of collector for the conn
try's chief port: who played into the.
hands of those representing "tho most
corrupt phase of municipal adniiiiistrd
tion since Twed;" who brought "shame
and demoralization" to his party bv
"his scheme of parties without partisan
ship and politics without politicians,
ostensibly enforced in one state to be
conspicuously violated in another.
Such, in brief, is Mr. Cleveland's -rec
ord as The World apprehends it and
has outlined it in its own columns-
Nevertheless, yesterday, in comment
ing upon his triumph, it calmly asserted
that ho was nominated "on his charac
ter and record."
Of course tho best thing our neigh
bor can do in tho circumstances is to
shut its eyes to Mr. Cleveland's record
and proceed to support him on the as
sumption that he hasn t got any. Or it
can take the ground that tho indictment
which it framed against him in 1888 was
a typographical error. Or it can hold
that the leopard has changed hispots
that while tho Cleveland of 1888 was
truly bad tho Cleveland of 1892, is a re
formed man. New York Tribune.
A Typical American.
Whitelaw Reid is described as a typ
ical American by Chaunccy At" Depew.
Mr. Reid's career entitles him to thisdis
tinction. Starting out a poor boy at

school, edited n small country paper,
went to tho war as a correspondent, won
distinction as ono of the best war cor

himself as an American diplomat who
could say what ho meant and mean
what he said to the people who once had
a very different definition for diplomacy.
Mr. Reid has not only been thoronghlv

American ideas in his letters from the
battlefield, in his editorial utterances in
a great newspaper and as a United States
minister. No man better deserves the
name typical American than the Repub

Tho PassIiiK of. David.
A leader of his party lay waiting in Gnsp&nse;
There was no lack of "cusbiog." but woeful
lack of sense.
Elis henchman .stood beside him as his chances
ebbed away.
And bent, with pitying glancca, lo hear what
ho might say.
Tho leader slightly faltered as ho took his
henchman's hand.
And he said: "I never, never shall reach the
promised land.
Take this message, I beseech yon, to those dis
tant friends so kind
That Grovcr's 'sucked the orange' and left me

"Tell tho Crokcrs and McLaughlin?, as you

And try to get, as I have done, tho party's

At this his trembling voice gave out, and then
he made a sign.
Like ono who swallows bitter pills or chokes

His chin dropped low upon his breast, as bo wed

And then tho demagogue of demagogues, poor

POOR CALVIN S. BRICE.
Ho Is m Conspicnons Victim efKpaV
, lican Oppression."
The most tariff oppressed state of all
the four and forty, according to the
Democratic free traders, is Ohio. The
baleful policy of protection is working
out there the full measure of all its
"iniquities." It is there "skinning" alive
the poor man and robbing him "to make
the rich richer."
Calvin S. Brice illustrates in a strik
ing way the tariff "villainy" as it is seen
in operation in the Buckeye State. The
"barons" descended upon him when ha
was a student in college. The old home
stead where he was born was mortgaged
to educate him at college, and when he
left his alma mater they swooped down
upon him to pay it They robbed him
"of the necessaries of life." They sat
up all night devising ways and means to
tax him, and they succeeded so admir
ably that he got into one of the greatest
railroad deals of the century, out of
which he came with a million or more
of cold "plunks." Poor Calvin!
The barons were mad. He was one of
"the many," but they did not rob him.
He held on to the million, and he struck
one or two other railroad deals by which
the million began to double and quad
ruple. The "robbery" kept on, and he
became tho chairman of the national
Democratic committee, next a United
States senator, with a big unpaid local
tax bill in Lima, and tho founder of
Briceville, in Tennessee the famous
Briceville where the negro convicts are
hired out to him under state authority
at starvation wages, where they struck
six months or po ago and raised a small
rebellion. What a case of "tho robbery
of the many for the benefit of the few!'"
As a victim of Republican oppression
Calvin $ Brice is an interesting study.
And the Democratic woods are full of
him. New York Recorder.

Snakes Used by Charmers
Cobras are selected by tho so called
snake charmers of both Egypt and India
for their performances. The Egyptian
charmers sometimes pretend to change
the serpent into a rod, and according to
Geoffrey St. Hilaire, this appearance
can bo induced by giving a strong
sqneeze to the animal's neck, which in
duces a convulsive rigidity from which
tho animal soon recovers. It need
hardly be said that the snake charmers
always carefully extract the fangs of
the snakes they use. Quarterly Review.

it is easy to say that Harrison is a
man whoso personality does not excite
enthusiasm. He is not a hurrah candi
date, in other words. Thero is nothing
picturesque and sensational about him,
and men are not in the habit of Bpeaking
of him in fervent and exaggerated
terms. But he is a man who wears.
and who never falls below public expec
tation in tests of practical statesmanship
and unselfish devotion to the public in
terests. It may be a misfortuno for
bim that he does not have the faculty of
making himself familiar with all kinds
of people, but certainly it must be ac
knowledged that he is always courteous
and considerate, and is not that enough
in a man occupying a position of sur
passing dignity and importance?
He does not slop over in tho way of
personal compliment and flattery, bnt
be does observe tho rules of civility and
propriety. His disposition is not of that
effusive order which brings men cheap
popularity, but lie bears himself always
like a good tempered and self respecting
gentleman. Tho country has never had
rauso to bo ashamed of iiim. He is
3qual to any emergency of his great of
fice, and his private character is entirely
irreproachable. Surely a man of whom
so manv creditable things can bo said
may be forgiven for occasional lack of
warmth in his mterconrso with visiting
politicians and officeseekcrs.
The people of the United States do
not demand that a candidate for pres
ident shall be a man of the hail-fellow
well-met variety. They do not estimate
iim by his capacity for making himself
agreeablo under all circumstances, but
iccording to his qualifications for the
luties to bo performed and tho respon
sibilities to bo assumed. It does not
matter whether ho is excessively solicit
ous to please everybody or not so long
as he is known to be a man of satisfac
tory ability and unquestionable integ
rity
Harrison is that kind of a man. H
lias been president for over threo years
and the peoplo have become well ac
quainted wiili him in every respect.
The know that his course has been con
scientious and patriotic, and that no
serious fault can bo found with anv of
iiis proceedings. Such a record counts
for more than the reputation of being a
boon companion and a magnetic hand
shaker. When there is a man to be se-
ected for a difficult and laborious task
we do not ask how he receives callers,
but what his fitness is for substantial
and useful work.
That is the proper way to look at Har
rison, and that is the way in which the
American peoplo will regard him as a
candidate for re-election. They will
not vote against him because ho hap
failed to be as cordial to some individ
uals as he might have been. He has
made a careful, honest and faithful pres
ident, and that is the point of real im
portance. There is no risk to be taken
in retaining him. Ho has demonstrated
his ability to meet all the requirements
of the place, and that is the best guar
antee of successful service in the future,
as well as the best claim to reward from
an appreciative and grateful country.

CbuIb Bay Ram.
Genuine, bay rmm'i-always imported.
There, are few barber shops where the
genuine article is used. Genuine bay
rum is manufactured only in the West
Indies. It is the distillation of the green
leaves and berries of the bayberry tree,
mixed with absolutely pure nun, St.
Croix being used in the very best quality
of the preparation.
There is but one true bayberry, but
there are many varieties of it in the
West Indies, and so closely do they re
semble the Primemia oeris, or true bay,
that great eare is necessary in gathering
the leaves, for the presence of a small
quantity of the leaves of any other vari
ety is sufficient to destroy the entire
product ef a still. Ripe berries are
mixed in the still with the leave. The
best bay is distilled by steam in copper
pipes, but tho ordinary commercial
spirit, such as bay rum is made from
hero, is distilled over an open fire.
The genuine steam distilled bay spirit
is not only many times stronger than
he other, but tho refreshing odor that
characterizes it is ten times as lasting.
The West Indians find the true bay mm
so necessary to their comfort among the
numerous discomforts attending a life
in tho climate of their country that they
use about nil that is made, and hence
its scarcity in this and other countries.

Twenty-five Hundred People at Dinner.
Soino time ago tho Right Hon. A. J.
Balfour was entertained at a big ban
quet in the Waverley market, Edin
burgh Two thousand five hundred
guests sat down at table. There were
860 waiters, sixty wine butlers and fifty
four superintendents engaged to wait
upon theiM.
Two kneheua were specially erected
in the market in which to prepare the
banquet. Ono kitchen had fifty-foui
Bunsen burners, representing one fot
each table. There were four large steam
boilers for heating puddings, seven
stoves for the boiling of sauces and for
frying purposes, and three boilers of
large size, each with a capacity of about
seventy gallons, for dealing with the
plum puddings which formed part of
the dessert.
The quantities of viands were 150
turkeys, 200 fowls, 400 game pies, 2,500
oyster patties, 200 gallous of turtle soup,
about half a ton of sirloin of beef, and
jelly and cream shapes to the number of
600. There were 20,000 plates required
and 30,000 pieces of silver, including
spoons, knives and forks; 10,000 wine
glasses and about a thousand pieces of

One of the recent, medical applicationt
of electricity is in the treatment of deaf
ness. The apparatus for this purpose
comprises a battery, a belt, an clectrodo

on the ear, and connections between the
electrodo and the battery. This pro
vides a convenient and efficient mode of
receiving the current, which can bo ap
plied in finely graduated strength.
Superintendent Johnson, of tho Deaf
and Dnmb institute at Indianapolis, is
reported as having found in a series of
experiments that the phonograph con
centrates the sound at the drum of tho
ear in sucli n way that many of the pu
pils; otherwise deaf, are thus enabled to
hear. Out of fifty-six boys and girls,
only three girls were unable to hear any

Ammnnla for Electric Shock.
An ingenious dentist has been making
some interesting experiments with ani
mals which have been nearly killed by
electric shocks.
On Wednesday he was standing on
tho street and saw a sparrow in a small
pool of water left by the street sprinkler.
The bird soon went up and flew to a wire
overhead. The shock at once sent him
to tho ground, where he lay until tho
dentist picked him up, barely able to
move his wings. The gentleman breathed
into the sparrow's mouth and let him
go. As the shock was not a very bad
ono tho bird was soon able to fly,
but he again returned to a dangerous
locality, and tho result was another
shock much worse than the first. When
tho bird fell to tho ground he was ap
parently lifeless, but the dentist took
him to the office and began an experi
ment. Ho at first resorted to artificial respira
tion as before, and then injected in the
bird's flesh aromatic spirits of ammonia
and poured a few drops diluted with
water down the sparrow's throat. He
then pnt him in a dry closet and gave
him some clear water after a few min
utes. When placed in tho closet the
bird's body was nearly cold, but the
treatment proved bo effective that in
less than an hour he was able to fly as
well as ever and was liberated. Eastern

"Old Kill," Thnt's All.
A familiar figuro to all who have busi
