The Object In View.


Democracy is struggling hard for place
and power. 1t wants place, to reward its
friends; it wants power, to punish its enc
mics. A Democratic triumph in the Presi.
dental election means the restoration OF
Southern influence in the administration
of the Government? To what is that in
tiuence pledged? Clearly to the payment
of Southern losses during the war. Cotton
claims, amounting to at least $50 600, 600.
Claims for property used or destroyed by
our troops, amounting to at least $780,
000,0 900. The refunding of the cotton.tax,
$6S 100000. The shouldering of the rebel
debt, amounting to $4,000, 900, 900, by
some Legislative or judicial construction
of the constitutional amendment which
prevents its payment The payment of at
least 81 ,000, 600, 900 for slaves set free, as
the great reconciliation sop between the
North and South. These are among the
possibilities to follow close upon the heels
of Democratic restoration to power. The
Democrats of the South openly advocate
these measures rs just and equitable.
They hold them out to their constituents
as among the first fruits to follow their
ascendency to power. The executive and

Deceptions in Candy.Making.

Not only adulteration but deception is
very widely practiced by cheap candy
sellers. Peanuts are substituted for al.
monds, wheat sirup for gum-arabic, and
the commonest and worst articles of fia-
voring and coloring are used with absolute
reclSlessness as to consequences.
Poisonous substances are used in color
ing less frequently than they were some
years ago, owing to the fact that good
many inquests were held and postnortems
made; but they are still used, for the rea-
son that chrome yellow and chrome green
are much cheaper than pure vegetable
cOlors
The great attraction about fancy cOndi-
ments is their flavor, and especially is this
the case with confectionery. Fortunes
may be made by the use Of some new and
observation-disclosures flavor In confection-
cry; and, 50 long as the human palate is
pleasantly titillated, 1t makes little differ
ence to the manufactures of edibles what
means are employed. To dine upon an
ancient cat, dressed by first-class French
cook, would, no doubt be very
rant of what creature he is eating; and it
is said that there was once Spaniard in
Morocco who made fortune by selling
what people long believed to be pork.
pies, but which were really pies Of human
flesh The deceptions of the cook and
confectioner are the most difficult to de
tect, and, therefore, the most dangerous,
especially in this age of chemical discov'
ery. 1t is safe to say that the ingredients
occasionally used in the tlavoring of cheap
candies are not only disgusting but harm
full, and the war of competition is driving
manufacturers to novel devices, which
seem to be fathered by diabolical ingenu
ity. OF course, the worst devices canno
be successfully practiced in the large
manufactures, because of the impossibili
ty of keeping secrets where several hun
dred employees are working. But what il
done in those smaller stores, where street
peddlers manufacture their denominations
had better be left to the imagination.

Culture a Means, Not an End.

We must not make culture an idol, as is
the fashion, but regard it rs merely one of
the forces that go TO keep the world in
motion. Ii is a means, not an end. 1t is
no more TO be worshiped for itself than
is the knowledge of the multiplication
table. We should not let ourselves be
swamped in our luxuries. The man
should always be better than his surround
ings; he should absorb what is good in
them, and stand above them. II is to the
credit of man to rise purified by his cX-
pelience, however bitter il may be, and
certainly he should not fall into joyous
selfcontent because he has knowledge of
bric-a- brac. That is no better than the
strength of giant who forever lolls upon
the sofa. The collection of curiOsities, the
ransacking of the globe after singularlties
and the consequent selfish thrilling with
enjoyment are not enough. Indeed, the
mere enj njoyment is IN itself idle, unpro-
ductive and, if il interferes with work,
harmful, however delightful it may be.
That it is delightful no one can deny, but
Just as fear Of starvation is, however dis
guised, one of the strongest inspirations
of toll known TO man, The evident danger
of comfort, pleasantly-won distinction
and elegance Is, that they produce sloth

The Outrages in Mississippi.

In other words, the statement summed
up is as follows: A gang of Democratic
ruffians interfered with Republican
meeting and got hurt as bad as the negroes
did in the fight that followed Thereupon
a mob of desperadoes assembled, armed,
and commenced shooting unarmed negroes
in the woods, in their cabins and in fields
where they were at work. Having mur
dered all who could not get out of the
way, the Democratic newspapers repre-
sented all was quiet and the Chairman of

The N. Y. Observer Oh Ohio Politics,
Some Sensible Remarks on the Catholic
question.
THE OHIO DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM a
MODEL OF SOUND DOCTRINE

The New York Observer, the great news
paper of the Presbyterian Church, has
noticed the demagoguery of the Repub-
lican press in treating of the designs Of
some ofthe leaders ofthe Catholic Church
The Observer knows that the great Con-
servative Democratic party is the only
party which can be safely intrusted with
preserving the genius of our institutions,
and keeping separate allunion of Church
and State, whether it comes from the God
in-the- Constitution fanatics or the Catho-
lies. In a recent issue it rebukes Har-
per's Weekly for its insane charges on
the Democracy, and comments as follows
on the intelligent plank in the Demo-
cratic platform which treats on this sub
iect, which it says is all it could ask, and
is a model which should have a place in
all political platforms:
1--WE trust and believe that both politi-
cal parties will be found faithful to the
American principle Of equal justice to all,
and favoritism to none-and if one party
is more Democratic than another in its
basis, that party will be the most pro-
nounced, earnestand decided in its resist
ance to the demands of this exclusive,
intolerant and anti-Democratic and anti
Republican Church. And in confrma-
ton of our judgment, we cite again the
plank in the platform of the last Ohio
Democratic Convention: adopted unani-
mously and intelligently, with the per-
feet, understanding that the Roman Cath
olics were eagerly watching the Conven-
ton, and anxious to know just what
ground the Democrats would take. This
is the new plank" :"
Thirteenth-We favor the complete
separation of Church and State religious
independence and absolute freedom of
opinion; equal and exact justice to all
religious societies, and purely secular
education at the expense of taxpayers,
without division among or control of any
Sect directly or indirectly, of any portion
of the public school fund"
"We could not ask a more explicit dec
laration of the true principle than this
without division among or control by
any sect, directly or indirectly of any
portion of the public school fund.-"
"Let this plank be put into every plat
form of every political party, State or ma
tional."

THE Gazette, in speaking of General S

THE Gazette, in speaking of General S.
F. Cary, says
"One reason is that the Prohibitionists
know him to be demagogue, an arrant,
restless, unprincipled disturber of the
peace, shameless fomenter of discord, a
man who has not single honest convic-
ton or a principle that he would not
trade for Office"
If that is SO, oh, tell us, Mr.. Gazette,
why he refused to speak for Andrew
johnson in 1866, when he was Collector
of Internal Revenue in the Second Con-
gressional District of Hamilton county,
an office worth $4,000 year, from which
he could be removed, and was removed,
at the pleasure of Johnson? How can
you account for that, except upon the
idea that you are either an ignoramus or
a liar2 There is not another man in Ohio
who gave up such an Office. Cary did it
for the Republican party, and the above
is his reward from the Gazette. e.-Cincinndb
