AL IS WE'LL THAT ENDS WE'LL.

To some of our democratic friends it
seems a long, long, weary time to wait
until the return of common sense
shall restore the democracy to Office
aud power. There are men even in
the democratic ranks who are frail e.
nough to mix with their devotion to
principle some thought Of prospective
leaves and fishes. To such we say,
fear not. The time will come when
you may, if you will, step from out the
ranks Of the shivering and disconso-
late '.outs" and enrol yourselves a.
mong the number of the comfortable
and happy ''ins."
Perchance, if you are well advanced
in years, this greatly Ionged-for era
may not come soon enough to enable
you to make millionaires Of your own
and your wife's relations. IF such be
the case, you are too old" to play at
the game of politics. Our advice is
that you had better quit it and turn
your attention to matters Of graver in
terest.
The younger men, however, should
keep in good heart. Let their best en-
ergies be devoted to the service of the
democratic cause, with the certain as
surance that their unselfish labors in
behalf of principle, will be rewarded
in the end. It may be that the demo-
cratic party will not be able to give
them the ptid pr0qu0; it may be that
their advocacy Of democratic measures
and their support of democratic candi-
dates, win not bring them Offices and
emolument within the pale of the dem
ocratic organization. But what mat
ter? The opponents of democracy will
be glad, in due time, to take them to
their bosom and make them rulers in
the anti-dem0cratic Israel. Let only
our younger men remain true to the
democratic faith until they become
old; let them only, when they arrive
at the age of second childhood, be able
to say, we have been ''life long demo-
Gratis" and if they don't get Offices
from the democracy they will be sure
to get them from our opponents.
For the proof: U. S. Grant was a
lifelong democrat until 1868; Simon
Cameron was a lifelong democrat un-
til 1854; J.K. Moorhead was a lifelong
democrat until 1858; John w. Geary
was a lifelong democrat without an
afix) until 1865 John Scott was a life
long democrat until 1862 John T.
Hartranft was lifelong democrat
until 1865 ; Benjamin Harris Brewster
was a life long democrat until 1868;
John Cessna was lifelong democrat
until 1864, etc., etc. So, youngsters,
work away in the cause Of democracy
until you get old. fyou don't, mean
while, get office in the democratic

LUTz IN A QUANDARY.

The crude and undigested philosophy
of the radical demagogues upon the
tariff question, blindly and slavishly
adopted, of course, by the Inquirer, has
gotten brother LItz into a quandary.
We noticed, III an article in our issue
before the last, the fact that the blgti-
rer reprinted from the Baltimore Il
Berico3, some very sound and truth
full remarks upon the faIlacious and
ruinous system of imposing duties on
imports consisting Of ralo nadterjGls.-
We argued from this fact that brother
Lutz was about to become a convert
to the Democratic doctrine on the tariff
question. In reply, our neighbor, in
a very irritable mood, declares that
his party never favored tariff duties on
the raw material. Brother Lutz is IL
able to correction.
We ask him, is not the article Of lcool
a raw material? And have not the
radical party imposed a heavy duty
on imported wool? Is not coal raw
material, ont of which gas and oils,
ETC., are manufactured? And have
not the radical party imposed a tariff
duty on foreign coal ? Is not lumber
raw material? And have not the rad
ical party laid duty upon lumber
imported from abroad? These ques-
tiOns cannot be answered i'm the mega
tive. However much the Inquirer may
be given to Justification of the record,
it will not dare even to prevaricate up
on this subject. Facts are facts, and
brother Lutz will find them stubborn
things in the bargain.
Now, then, as wool, coal and lumber
are raw materials, and are all subject
ell TO tariff duties. brother Lutz will
acknowledge that he made Il mistake
when he said that his party never fav-
cred the imposition Of such duties upon
the raw material. Again, as he adj
mts that he is opposed to tariff upon
the raw material, he is certainly in
favor of. free trade 50 far as the articles
of wool, coal and lumber are concern
ed. Hail, regenerate Lutz! Welcome,
illustrious convert to the doctrines Of
Adam Smith, Ricardo and Say! Hur
rah for the rdlU material!

era have done good service in rousing
moral sense of the State to too COM
mon crime which is fast confning the
sole increase in population to the for
eign-bon and foreign-desccnded citi-
zens Of Massachusetts,. Philadelphia is
alarmed at the increase Of infanticide
in that city, the statistics Of the year
1868 showing 81 cases of child-murder
against GG IN 1867. OF fthese, the case
of alleged infanticide by Hester Vaue-
han is the only one which attracted
public attention, though the exhibition
by the coroner now prompts the Phila-
delphia papers to urge some legislative
action which will tend to lessen the
slaughter Of children by their mothers.

CAN'T DO IT.-Don Piatt, the Wash
ington correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Commercial, writes that he lately had
had conversation with one Of what
are called the "carpet-bag" Represcn-
talives in Congress from Southern
State, and tried to convince him that
it would be well, Just for the appear
ance of the thing, to cast vote now
and then for the region he claimed to
represent. But no; he found his friend
had an intense contempt for one-half
of his constituents" and a deadly
hatred for the other half.

THE TELEGRAPH IN UTAH.-Brig-
ham Young has telegraph wires lead
ing to his office and connecting with
every hamlet in Utah-a line 500 mills
long. Every settlement of half doz-
en- houses has a telegraph Office, with
female Saint operators, and in charge
of bishop of the Mormon Church, and
who can report at any time all that
takes place to Young. From his pri-
vate office in Salt Lake City, like the

ham may give an order or ring an a.

For many years, the Piano Forte has
held unquestioned monopoly; but a
growing taste for those orchestral eff
fects in playing which the Piano can
not render, has turned attention to the
Organ. Cheapness, portabIeness, and
convenience of manipulation, are also
advantages in the American Organs,
as made by Messrs. S. d. d II. w.
Smith OF Boston, which eminently re-
commend them for home school or
chapel use. A day or two since we Wis
tied the new and extensive manufac-
tory of the aboVe-named instruments
on Boston Neck, and were surprised at
the vast amount of labor in operation,
and the completeness Of the appliances
in use from the heavy machinery
which cuts the stock, to the delicate
apparatus which fashions the key
work and action. Messrs. S. ID. q H.
W.Smith are regarded rs the best reed
Organ manufacturers in the world, and
although able to turn out hundred in
struments week, they have found diff
ficulty in filling orders, which come
from all parts of the country. None
who hear these popular Instrument,
with their round, sonorous, sympathel
ic and expressive tones, are surprised
at the tavor with which they are re-
garded by leading musiciahs.- Portland
