killing Time.

People are necessarily talking of kill
ing time, unmindful that it is time that
kills them. Everything but actual, prac-
tical work they regard as means to that
irrational and, in truth, impossible end.
They read, not for instruction. mot for
interest, not for enjoyment even; but, as
they say, simply to kill time. Without
exercising discretion or taste in what
they read, they take anything that is
near at hand provided they feel conf
dent that its perusal will require no
mental effort will preserve them from
the need of reflection. There are great
many books of this sOrt-thc more's the
pity!-so many, indeed, that it is harder
to miss than to hit them. But there is
neither reason nor excuse for making
their acquaintance, unless you are liter
ally suffering for some occupation and
think any occupation better than none
There is neither virtue nor advantage IN
reading unless your mind be stimulated
by what you read, and your memory re-
tain at least part of it. To read a
worthless book is worse than wasting
time since wasting time is negative, and
such reading may he positive harm.
The error of these would-be time-kill-
ers is in their thinking that works of
ulJ VI
arc either a tax on the understanding
or extremely wearisome. They seem to
forget that many of the best books, best in
every sense, are the most interesting;
that, if they once fairly began these, "a
new and higher pleasure would be
opened to them; and they would leave
OIL with ten times as much reluctance as
they had begun.
If they doubt this let them try the eX-
pertinent and be convinced. They will
be certain to find such difference be
tween good books and poor books that
their appreciation of the former will en-
tirely cure them of their liking for the
latter.
Even if killing time be the sole object
it is justas easy to kill time to advantage
as to disadvantage; and after certain
experience with able authors, be they
philosophers, historians, poets or novel
lists, they will come to value time as al
together too precious to be wasted

Getting Il Wife.

In some parts of Europe it is not un-
usual to bring about matrimonial engage
ments by means of advertisements. Some
years ago it was agreed in a gay party of
ladies and gentlemen in London that an
advertisement should be inserted in n
morning paper as from a young lady,
rich and beautiful, who felt inclined to a
state of matrimony. In the course of
the day letters were received from be-
tween forty and fifty swains of all de-
scriptions, in reply to each of whom an
answer was addressed stating that the
lady wished, previous to his being intro
duced to her to see him, and at the same
time requesting each to be in the pit of
the Drury Lane Theater on the following
evening, dressed in blue coat, white
pantaloons and scarlet vest, and imme-
diately on the conclusion of the first act
to stand upon the benches, flourish a
white handkerchief in one hand and ap-
ply glass to the right eye with the
other. Everything succeeded so well
that, as soon as the curtain fell, about
fifty individuals of all ages forthwith
mounted the benches, and from the
smooth, chinned Adonis of eighteen to the
sleek, pOrtly, self-confident widower of
fifty, and the emaciated bachelor ofsixty
dressed in uniform according to orders,
in the gayest style and the utmost nicely
to make the deeper impression on the
heart of the fair prize. High swelled
their bosoms with hope as with studied
action the handkerchief was flourished
and the glass was raised to the eye But
who shall paint the astonishment, dis
may and rage which were depicted In
every countenance as they gazed upor
each other and discovered the sudder
failure of all their hopes! With almost
increased velocity they descended from
their unenviable attitudes to "hide theil
diminished heads among the crowd"

The Two Parties---Which Shall We
Trust?

The Republicans are in power and the
Democrats are out This is the sum and
substance of the situation-as between
the two organizations There are differ
ences, of course, as obvious as those be-
tween heaven and hell. And there are
discontented elements in the camp of the
one in power Just here lies the strategy
of the opposition. They have no chance
as by themselves or on their own record.
The last thing they want is to stand on
that record. Whenever forced to do so
they find themselves igHOnliniously de-
feated. Their only hope lies in presumed
discomfort within the Republican camp.
This they seek to foment by every possi-
BILE trick. Like their Confederate allies
of "lang syne," they are quite ready to
strip the Union dead of their Federal
uniform, and place the same on the backs
of their own guerrillas, in order to en-
able the latter to arrange ambuscades
and surprises with more ease and safety.
What is to be guarded against is
whether or not there is aught but treach-
cry involved in Democratic pretenses OF
sympathy with those who claim that the
Republican party is not sufficiently pro-
gressive to satisfy their views or the
necessities of the country. AS we take
note of such discomfort, it arises from
causes far other than such as the Democ-
racy can handle. The general drift OF
all the discussion on transportation, mo-
nopolies, and legislation, tariff and reve-
nue., etc, etc.-the whole brood, IN
fact, of economic issues which have
grown out of the new conditions conse-
quent upon the rise and progress of
complex and scientific order of produc-
tion and wealth-making-and OF the
remedies which are demanded to correct
evils that arise from such conditions, are
altogether of a different character from
those which have shaped the views, ira
ditions, and policy, or animate the pres
ent hopes of the Democratic party. IL
is said, sarcastically, of the American
that "no people forget yesterday" so
| readily; but it is not possible that the
half century of Democratic rule is oblit-
Grated from the average mind. The
Granger" the Farmers Club" ora
tors, the managers of cheap transporta-
tion associations, the would-be organ
izers of the working producers OF the
/ land. on issues such as we have named
and indicated, do not surely expect ia
| find support from party which is Obliged
| fundamentally to repudiate the idea OF
all national interference; which must ac'
cept the doctrine of lGissez tdire, or repu'
diate its own principles, Not very diff
flcult thing to do, we hear some sardoni'
reader exclaim. But epigrammatic re
ioinder is not our present cue. We de
sire to point out the obvious fact tha
the Democratic polity precludes tina
party from any fair discussion of the is
sues under consideration. Its polity i
shaped upon ideas born OF com
munities living and thriving in circum
stances altogether different from thos
which foster such brood of Legislative
, and administrative complexities as ar
involved in the politicoeconomic issue
. of our Industrial and inventive ciyiliza
tion. The Greek cities and small States

aged Democrat in this country, who has
| any ideas beyond office and plumber, un-
| doubtedly believes that the beneficial cul-
mination of his political theory was
found In the public character and print
tive politics of the slaveholding and
agricultural States at the zenith Of their
pride and place. Can the men who look
for such changes In legislation as will
practically assert the sovereignty of the
people over the railroads, for instance,
expect to find II in the rehabilitation Of a.
party governed by such traditions5 IL
there any sensible man thai docs not he
lieve that its triumph win be but hinder

tions answer themselves, Besides, the
Democracy have made no pTetense at
discussing these mattersa They have
only criticised the Republicans for SO
doing.
Now, as to that party's position on
these crowding issues. Who will assert
that it is unfriendlyY
Most of the issues alluded to are new
ones in the political arena Many of
them involve questions not heretofore
brought into that domain. They can
only claim admission or consideration
upon the theory that the progress of in
dustrial machinery and the aggregation
of power acquired through the control
thereof create forces whose unrestricted
exercise by individuals, personal or cor
porate, makes such individuals dangerous
alike to citizen and State. The thought
mi mi Of hot 10
mark of wisdom to 90 slow in such direc-
tions. 1t is an almost unknown domain
which politicians and statesmen are asked
TO explore. The expedient thing to do in
politics is to consider well the fun
damental ideas and the following
history of the several organizations,
Ind support that one which has
shown its readiness to accept, con-
slider, and discuss all new questions, and
TO place in its platforms and actions that
portion which commends itself as in the
line of liberty law and progress Will
any candid person deny that the Repub-
ican party has not always stood ready
TO accept and sustain whatevereso COM
mends itselfS A great party is not
school of doctTtRtlairts; it is a practical
1t is not an academy to
leach the philosophy of government, but
IN organization aiming to successfully
embody in government and law the best
lverage view of its members. That party
organization is the most useful and sure
o be longest lived which, within tAv
scope of its ayowed, d,~errInands, gives the
:sa3t opportunity for their expression,
md welcomes most heartily those which

itical sense of the asses.--RepubLtc May
