It was just as we predicted, the cut

The jackdaw witli the peacock feath

will have to veil their faces with their

goes by carrying that platform with a
plank denouncing the republican party
for keeping Dakota out of the union. In
one sense, of course, the republicans have
kept Dakota out of the union by living
in sucli overwhelming numbers in that
territory. But the blatant knaves will
not venture that public explanation.

Pessiox Commissioner Black, whe
draws $1,200 pension and $5,000 salary
seems a most heartless wretch when deal
ing with his disabled brethren. He is
charged with writing the following letter
, to T. F. Cassamer of Minnesota, an old
veteran who has applied for an increase
of pension: "You are advised that you
are not entitled to an examination look
ing to an increase, as theevedtnee recent
ly filed fails to show that you are so dis
a bled by reason of a gunshot wound in
the right shoulder that you can do no
manual labor. It may be that you can
do no manual labor with the wounded
arm, but there is no reason given why
you can do no work with the other hand
and arm.
A REPETITION OF II 1 STORY.
The fact is evident to any intelligent
observer that the present situation of the
republican party is closely analogous to
that in which it found itself in 100. At
that time the supreme necessity was the
selection of a candidata for president
with aview to his availability, rather than
to the gratification of any sentimental
pcrference or prejudice. It was recog
nized that the campaign was to be a hot
and doubtful one, and that every vote
that could be obtained would be neces
sary to achieve a victory. Upon that
consideration more than any other, or
than all others, was Mr. Lincoln nominat
ed. The various factions devoted to
Seward, Chase, Cameron and Bates, patri
otically accepted him on the theory that
he could poll more votes than any. other
of the contestants and the decision was
undoubtedly a wise and fortunate one.
Had the nomination been given to either
of his distinguished competitors, defeat
woald almost certainly have followed.
The republican party gained control of
the country by subordinating all persons
and factional interests to the one para
mount and practical idea of placing the
'most available man in the field, and
working for him with united and deter
mined energy.
After that first great victory, down to
1834, a republican nomination implied a
' certainty of election. Success came by
sheer force of the logic of things. The
question of availability decided itself,
and the National conventions were ex
empt in large measure from the responsi
bility of deliberation. But now we are
face with new conditions with repeated
conditions, properly speaking. The cir
cumstances of 18G0 are here again, and
the surpassing want of the hour is another
-Lincoln if not'iu greatness, at least in
availability. If the disaster of 18S4 is to
ba retrieved, and republican principles
restored to commanding force in politics,
our standard-bearer must be a man whom
t he people can easily indorse. The vari
ous factions in the party should approach
the work of nomination with the purpose
above everything else to search out rl
man best adapted to tha practical require
be
4
incuts of the case. The welfaie of the
party its life, perhaps depends upon
the sagacity and harmony with which
this selection shall be made. It is not
sufficient to fay that this man or that
man can certainly carry this or that
particular state because of excep
tional local popularity. That is a
good recommendation as far as it goes,
but it does not go far enough. The man
for the occasion is the one whose charac
acter and lecord will most strongly ap
peal to popular sentiment in all the
States. It was thus that Lincoln was
nominated. lie was not only strong in
his own State, but the qualities which
made him so were of a kind which gave
him strength in the other States whose
support was indispcnsible to the party's
success. The lesson of that happy choice
by the Chicago Convention of I860 is
brought directly homo to the Chicago
convention of 1888 by the likeness of the
present situation to the one which then
existed; and the same degree of practical
sense and devotion to principle at this
time will insure the same result which
then ensued. Globe Democrat.

There are 1,010 medicines in tbe pharmaco
poeia of the United States, and in most com
munities there is one man who has tried
every one of them before discovering that
there never was anything tho matter with
him. The taste for strong drink is a mild,
innocuous, feeble inclination compared with
the raging mania for ''taking medicine"
when onco it gains a perniciously active hold
upon a man. There ure not many really sick
people in the world, and if it wasn't for the

A Warning.
The modes of death's approach are va
rious, and statistics show conclusively
that more persons die from disease of the
hroat and lungs than any other. It is
probable that everyone, without except
tion, receives vast numbers of Tubercle
Germs into the system and where these
germs fall upon suitable soil they start
into life and develop, at first slowly and
is shown by a slight tickling sensation in
the throat and if allowed to continue their
ravages they extend to the lungs produc
ing Consumption and to the head, caus
ing Catarrh. ' Now all this is dangerous
and if allowed to continue will in time
cause death. At the onset you must act
with promptness; allowing a cold to go
without attention is dangerous and m-iy
loose you your life. As soon as you feel
that something is wrong with your throat,
lungs or nostrils, obtain a bottle of Bos
shee's German Syrup. It will giye you
immediate relief.

Statistics for lost year's commerce in St.
Louis shows the arrival of 2,SC1 boats and 1.273
barges at, and the departure of 2,323 boats
from, this port, and the receipt of 867,045
tons and the shipment of C37.0C0 tons of
freight, all exclusive of the immense tonnage
transferred by ferry, and yet the river has
lout interest, and by many is entirely for
gotten. All this is very undeserved. Life
on the river aud in the harbor has all of its
attractions still,
Tbe time has been when the river front
was lined with steamers, nose to the wharf,
while now they can crowd in so as to load
from the side; but the scene now is none the
less active. The wonder is just as great now
where the great piles of freight are stowed
away, and there is just as much commotion
in loading and unloading. People with tender
corns are just as safe in remaining away
from a steamer just in or preparing to leave
port as they ever were. They are just as apt
to have a barrel rolled on these same corns,
or to feel the weight of a roustabout's No. 12
shoe.
A large steamer's crew is composed of a
captain, two mates, two engineers, two
strikers, six firemen, a watchman, three
clerks, a steward and ten to twenty assist
ants and a dock force of twenty to forty. Of
these the mate alone has to push and ham
mer when time is valuable, except on extra
ordinary occasions and except in' the quiet
of his own precincts, where only the boards
of the boat and those people for whom his
words are intended will hear them. The first
mate has charge of the loading and unload
ing, and in the absence of the captain takes
command of the boat. A steamer like the
City of New Orleans, for instance, will carry
1,500 tors of freight very comfortably. Tho
mate must load and unload this in a very
short time, as occasion often requires, but,
regardless of the time in which tho work
must be done, he must look after any weak
points in the boat and follow all rules laid
down for the even distribution of a cargo. If
a steamer has any weak points, they must be
loaded first. OtherwLie, the mate begins
back aft and loads forward in the center,
following thi3 rule in the hold and on deck,
and being careful to keep the weight in tbe
center. Then he runs out into the wings and
along the sides, always keeping the weight
so evenly distributed that the steamer will
settle down iuto the water as nicely as if
under the pressure of a single piece of ma
chinery at all points. At the same time the
freight is loaded with due regard to points
of unloading, so that there will not only not
be any rehandling, but no strain caused by
removing freight from one point and not
from another.
The mate must have a clear, cool head, and
be a man of some executive ability. Even
in an outburst of passion, he must keep his
wits about him. lie is at something of a dis
advantage in not always having the same
force to do his work, and thus in not know
ing his men's capacities, for even day labor
ers have such things as capacities. One ma n
may bft 800 pounds and another stall at 150,
but the latter may be so much more active
that he will move more gross weight in half
an hour than the former. This is an object,
and in handling men it is of importance to
consider it. The mate, however, soon esti
mates his men. At local landings he has
only his regular crew, but in all large ports
he has what is known as shore or hour labor.
These do all the loading and unloading. Th 9
deck crew attends only to keeping things in
trim. If the steamer is just in, they are tired
out, and that is enough for them to do.
. The roustabout generally seems to have a
happy life, and he possibly has. There is no
reason to doubt appearances, except the idea
one not accustomed to it would have in an
ticipating it. In port and off duty he is a
painter, generally that is, he does a great
deal toward making things in his vicinity
lurid, by "making Rome howL" When he
sleeps, if he sleeps at all, is often a conun
drum, though ho must 6leep some place. It
is, however, often "with a load on," and he
is fortunate if ho turns up for duty with a
hide free of scratches and bruises. It is not
infrequent that he turns up at the hospital or
the morgue. There are, however, good
roustabouts, just as there are bad church
men. The life is not one calculated to make
them good, but that never seems to trouble
them while on duty, and they never seem to
realize that they haven't had a good time
and get on shore to warm up and see their
friends. In the average steamboat, no pro
vision is made for the rousters' sleeping.
They arc expected to curl up on deck or
among tho freight, and make the best of it.
They are also expected, on night runs, to
turn out as promptly as soldiers on duty
when a landing is made. Still they laugh
and sing the time away, and "guy" each
other in a manner that should be profitable
to shore people.
A wealthy passenger looking over tho rail
and seeing the colored deck hand leaning on
the capstan, smoking a pipe, naturally won
ders what pleasures the world has for bun.
The deckhand turns and looks up, and the
passenger is surprised that his face bears as
contented a smile as his own, and probably
more so. The shore laborer is, if anything,
more of a curiosity. It is a question if he is
any tougher, because, having more opportu
nities for "doing things up brown," the act
of doing it is not so much of a novelty: He
will sleep any place, however, just as the
deckhand does, and is as free to laugh and
joke when he has a 200-pound box on his
shoulder as when he has nothing but a few
surplus drinks. The mate, though, looks out
for this, and if he jokes or the laughter in
terferes with or delays tbe work, or if, to get
in a good one on another laborer, one of them
stops in his work, he interferes. He gen
erally carries a stick, more like a club, and.
sometimes like a bull prod, and the man who
works slow or "soldiers" is very certain to
get a punch in tho ribs, or in some other part
of the body. This is river life in the harbor
and through to New Orleans. Globe-Democrat.
Practice of City Doc Stealers.
It has long been the practice of the dog
stealers to ship the valuable dogs they steal
here to otheii cities, and bring dogs stolen
elsewhere here for sale. . is also a practice,
nowadays, for many Philadelphia women to
take a run over to New York for a shopping
trip. On Thursday afternoon a ferret faced
old fellow was trying to sell a pretty York
shire terrier at the corner of Twenty -third
street and Broadway when a woman
shrieked, the dog barked and jumped from
the ferret faced old fellow's arms and a
crowd gathered at once. The lady was a
Philadelphian who had come over here shop
ping, and the dog was her pet terrier that
had been stolen and sent over to be sold. As
the ferret faced old fellow did not wait to
hear her explanations, he may be interested
to have them in this shape. Alfred Trumble
