A Grander for supreme judge, a Stone

50,000 majority this year.
That surplus! Where is U rover and
his "Condition ?" There is quite a lot of
pension hills which the gnat deluded
might attack now, and save a few thou
sands for surplus and democratic cam
paign capital. "What a "Coswtion"

tion not a theory" "which confronts us."
Pappy Thurman went all the way to
Port Huron to meet a little crowd of
Federal pap suckers and their followers,

that.
TRUSTS AGAIN. FOR THE DEM
OO RATIO HAT.
"We are inclined to believe the remark
of Mr. Blaine the other day in regard to
trusts is having a good effect in favor of
the republican party. The attention ot
the country is directly challenged to the
republican position upon that question
as expressed by the national platform
and to the wind bag which Mr. Blaine so
' neatly punctured when he called atten
tion to the fact that free trade England
is the hot bed of pernicious trusts from
Windsor Castle to the coffin that the
pauper is burried in.
Has any of our democratic working
men who read these democratic editorials
in regard to Mr. Blaine and the "Trusts'
of which he spoke, contemplated the il
limitabie and adamantine cheek of the
democratic editor, who peeks to charge
the republican party and Mr. Blaine with
favoritism towards trusts? Who heads
the standard oil trusts represented by
Secretary Whitney, of Mr. Cleveland's
cabinet.' Do you know that Henry B
Payne, the great millionaire democratic
senator from Ohio, is the head front of
this trust? That Chairman Brice, of the
national democratic committee, is
"past grande" in this oil trust? That the
great coal trust is headed by Mr. Cleve
land's millionaire manager and henchman
from Pennsylvania, Congressman Wil
liam L. Scott i That the great sugar trust
which " sugared off" the democratic
members of the Ways and Means com
mi t tee and purchased that committee's
consent to keep sugar at CS cents duty,
in tne Jlill s bill, is lieaueu ami repre
sented by the Millionaire Ilayemcycr, of
New York? Don't yon know that the
men who run the present administration
who ovin it, who brazenly put up their
cheques with its national committee to
re-elect Mr. Cleveland and foolishly
boast of their great contributions to the
democratic boodle fund represent the
worst monopoly "trusts" in this country?
If you do not know this, it is time
you were taking steps to inform your
selves. But to go back to Mr. Blaine's
assertion tiiat protection docs not foster
and encourage trusts. The Chicago Jour
Hal speaking of an English denial that
trusts exist in that country says:
This is a false and absurd denial. The
great tin trust, holding control of nine
tenths of the tin product of the world,
is a Paris and London syndicate. The
copper trust, which controls the world's
entire copper product, is a London affair.
The coffee trust that has laid its heavy
hand on American breakfast tables lias
its headquarters In London. It is sig
nificant that two of these trusts the tin
trtut and the coffee trust relate to non
dutiable articles under our tariff laws.
But the grossly ludicrous part of thi-i
discussion comes nearer borne. The holy
of trust which the democratic president,
the democratic press and the democratic
demagogues in and out of congress pro
fess is a grotesque absurdity as compared
with the fact that the biggest, most ag
gressive and most extortionate trusts in
the United States are under democratic
management. The Standard Oil trust,
the most powerful and oppressive of all,
is managed by democrats and is repre
sented by Secretary Whitney in Cleve
land's cabinet and by H. 1$. Payne in the
United States senate. Chairman IJrice,
who is "in ninety-nine other things," is
in the Standard Oil trust. The hard coal
trust is a democrratic ring, of which the
mot conspicuous manager is Congress
man W. L. Scott, the fiscal agent of the
democractic campaign committee. The
sugar trust is managed by Havemcyer,
of New York, democrat, who had so
much influence, that, after a secret con
ference with Chairman Mills and the dem
ocratic members of the house ways and
means committee, the sugar schedule was
changed in the Mills bill so as to give
the refiners more "protection" against
foreign refined sugar. These three colos
sal trusts are democratic trusts, and they
are probably furnishing nearly all of the
money required for the democratic cam
naiirn fund, which Chairman Brice
says is "abundant."
The wicked trusts in the country are
wickedlv democratic. For t lie demo
crats to denounce trusts is equally impu
dent and hypocritical.
However, men and brethren! the wick
edist trust against the wage workers of thi
country; against the corner stone of c
republican institutions, the elective fran
chise, is the great democratic trust head
ed by G rover Cleveland and owned and
controlled by the solid south; its days are
numbered and the people trust it no
more.

Candidates as Debt Tayers.
There is one important test which, as
far as tfceniory serves, we have never
known applied to candidates, viz:
Prompt payment of debts. Does hp pay
his debts? But, as some men would pay
who honestly are unable to do so. the test
may bo expressed somewhat duierently,
Has the candidate tliO reputation of be-
ing a gooa paymaster, or, u iron Hjjs-
fortune or mistreatment by other men,
he U unable to pay, does he give suffi
cient proof of a willingness and purposo
to pay, and that as oon as he can hon
est r do bo? A man who wil evade,
dodjre, refuse or decline to pay jus
debu bhould not be sent to the legisla
ture or conrrress, or put in any office of
honor or trust, high or low. In sifting
candidates it would not bo out of place
for voters to inquire: Does he pay his
debts? Does he try to pay? Columbia

The Destruction of Oaks.
Sen Cliff, Queens county, N. Y be
came agitated over the destruction of her
oaks, and sent to State Entomologist
Lin trier a number of twijrs broken oil
bv the wind. Upon examination Pro
fessor Linraer found the cause to be
depredations bv the beetle known as
Elaphidon parellelum, or oak pruner.
After the egg is laid on the tip the larva
burrows itself m the- wood, and at Its
chan .ring ieriod cuts around the section
just beneath the bark, so that the first
6troncr wind breaks off the twig. It is
6uid the best way to kill these insects is
to burn the twigs. Chicago Herald.
ew Way to Get Money.
The inventor of one of the latest swindles
in New York usually represents himself as
an englishman. He has a decided cockney
accent, is always well dressed, and presents
a very genteel appearance. When he thinks
he bs an easy prey he approaches his vic
tim with eye glass in hand. From one rim
the gobble is missing. lie explains that he
has j.ist dropped the glass and shattered it.
The remaining glass is simply a shade for en
eye that is totally blind, and by the broken
glass ho is unable to see at alL He is a
stranger in a strange land, and is, unfortu
nately, without money. If the gentleman
would kindly loan him the amount with
whk-h to replace the broken glass ho will be
able to return it soon, for when he can see he
will U enabled to attend to remunerative
business.
Then, to cap the climax, the fraud gives
an illustration of his blindness by walking
agai:ist thcr-vall, or a fence, or a building,
as tliu circumstances permit, and bumping
his l-.oad. This generally catches the victim,
who goes down in the pocket and brings
forth some change, ranging from 10 cent3 up
to? I. The blind fakir is prof use in thanks,
and feels his way out from the prosenc of
his livitefactor only to lie in wait for an
other victim. New York Sun.
A Little Woman Did It.
When Edison, genius and Inventor as he
fs, had given two weeks of his valuable time
to going up and down on the New York Ele
vated railroad, trying to discover what
caused its noise and a cure for it, he gave up
the job. Then a little woman took it. She
rode on the cars throe days, was denied a
place to stand on the rear platform, laughed
at for her curiosity and politely snubbed by
conductors and passengers. But 6he discov
ered what caused the noise, invented a rem
edy which was patented, and she was paid a
sum of $10,000 and a royalty forever. Her
name is Mrs. Mary Walton and she lives n

FOBKIGN JtM.ATIONH.
The conduct of foreign affairs by the present

tlcleucy aud cowardice. Having withdrawn
from the sriiate all pending treaties effected
by republican adniiiifstratloi-s for the removal
of foreign burdens and restrictions upon our
comineice and for Its extension into a better
market, it has neither affected nor proposed
any others In their stead. Professing adher
ence to the Monroe doctrine, it has seen with
idle complacency the extension of foreign iii
tluence In Central America ami of foreign trade
everywhere among our neighbors. It has re
fused to charter, sanction or encourage any
American organizytion for constructing the
Nicaragua canal, a work of vtal importance to
the maintenance of the Monroe doctrine ami
of our national influence, lit Central and South
America, and necessary fo- the development
of trade with our Pacific territory, with South
America, aud with the further coasts of the

of the fisheries question, and its pusillanimous
surrender of all privileges to which our fishery
vessels are en tii led in Canadian ports under
the treaty of lsis, the reciprocate inarin
tine legislation of l:io and comity of nations,
and wliicii Canadian fishing vessels receive iu
I lie ports of the United States. We condemn
theiolicyof the present administration and
the democratic majority iu congress towards
our fluheries us unfriendly and couspiciously
unpatriotic and as tvhdiug to destroy a valuable
national iudustry and an iudispensible resource
of defense against foreign enemy.

CIVIL SERVICE KKKOBM.
The men who abandoned the republican par
ty in 1884 and continue to adhere to the demo
cratic party have deserted not only the cause
of honest government, but of sound finance, of
freedom tand purity of the ballot, but espec
ially liavt-deserted the cause of reform in the
civil service. Wo will not tail to keep uur
pledges because tl ey liave' broken theirs, or
because their candidate has broken his. We
therefore repeat, our declaration of 1884, tow it :
The reform of civil service auspiciously begun
under republican administration should be
completed by a further extension of th" reform
sj stein already established by law to all grades
of the service to wh(ci it is applied. The spir
it and purpose of reform should be observed in
all executive appointments, and all laws at
varience with the object of existing reform leg
islation should be repeajed, ?md that the dan
gers io ii-ejS institutions vhiH-h lurk ia the pow
er of official patronage jhay be wisely and ef
fectively avoided,
The gratitude of the nation to the defenders
of the union cannot be assured except by laws,
'file legislation of congress should conform to
the pledges made by a loyal people, ;;ud be so
enlarged and extended at to prov'de against
the possibility that any mao who honorably
wore the federal uniform shall become an In
mate of an almshouse or dependent on private
charity. In the presence of an overflowing
treasury it would b a public scandal to do p?ss
for those whose Yaloj-pus service preserved the
government. 'e denounce the hostile spirit
shown by President Cleveland iu his numerous
vetoes of measures for pension relief, and the
action of the democrat ie house of representa
tives in refusing even consideration of general
pension legislation.
Iu support of the principles herewith enun
ciated, we invite the co-operation of patriotic
men of all parties, especially of all working
men whose prosperity is seriously threatened
by the free trade policy of the present admin
istration. An Explanation.
What is this f!ncrvous trouLle" with
which so many seem now to be afllietetl? If
you will reniemher a few years ago the
word Malaria was comparatively un
known, today it is as comnion ns any
word in the English language, yet this
word covers only the nu aning of another
word used by our forefathers in times
past. So it is used with nervous diseases,
as they and Maluriu are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called Biliousness,
and all are caused by troubles that arise
from a diseased condition of the Liver
which in performing its functions fiuding
it cannqt dispose of the bile through, the
ordinary channel is compelled to pass it
off through the system causing nervous
troubles, Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc.

Nor lean too heedlessly against a tree
Thus at its prime o'erladen heavily
With golden harvest of a stock so stanch.

To drop the figure, friends let's be content
The guest shall fancy less than we have meant.

Our friendship holds his merits as the light

The modest veil they wear I may not raise,
Lest he should blush to hear, and I to praise.
Robert Underwood Johnson in Harper's Mag
azine. Story of Greeley's Eccentricity,
Erastus Crooks, onoe editor of tho New
York Express, told me a very interesting
story about Horace Greeley. They were
commissioners together in 1855, representing
tho United States in the Parisian exposition
of that year. They were to be presented,
with the other commissioners, to the Em
peror, and assembled for that purpose in a
drawing room of the hotel, whence they were
going in a body to the palace. Mr. Brooks
noticed that Mr. Greeley's coat collar was
turned up, and that ono of his trousers legs
was caught over his boot Calling the edi
tor's attention to bis disarranged toilet, Mr.
Brooks adjusted the collas, and, bending low,
?ut the trousers leg in its proper position. A
Ualf hour later, audience being given, what
was Mr. Brooks' amazement and annoyance,
upon looking at his friend and comrade Gree
Jey, to see bis attire rearranged precisely as
it had been before Mr. Brooks set it right.
The irresistible iuference in Mr. Brooks
mind was, and continued so down to the date
of telling mo tho story, that the oddity of
costume was inteutional on the part of Mr.
Greeley. Joe Howard in Once a Week.
