The National Committee of the
Democratic party will meet in Wash
ington on February 2, for the pur-
pose of publishing an address to the
American people, and selecting place
and the time for holding the National
Convention. Gen. w. b. Bate is not
only member Of the Committee at
Large, but is Il member of the Execu-
tive Committee. He is thus honOred
by his party at large, on account
of his eminent executive ability
and his loyalty to the traditions and
principles of the party. His position
at front nationally and at home is as
sured and beyond question. There is
not a more chivalric friend of truth,
honor and purity in America. Hi>
friends in this State look forward with
anxiety for good action from that com
mittee, and to his promotion to posi-
ton of much greater trust at no very
distant day.-FrdnkIiR Reriea0 ana

DRY GOODS CHRISTIANS.

There seems to be in the churches
a great strife raging. 1t Is an Auster-
litz of ribbons. The carnage of color
is seen all over our religious assem-
blagcs. Along on the outskirts OF the
Sabbath audiences you see, here and
there & pocket Of fashion. But down
in the middle of the church are the
solid column, blazing away all through
the service. Five hundred broken
and coutrite hearts" covered up IN
rainbows and spangles. Followers of
the meek and lowly Nazarene" all
Jingle and flash Ten cents for the
missionary cause, and two hundred
and fifty dollars for trappings Church
of God hung by the neck with gold
chains, diamond-locketed Unso-
phisticated person travelling on two
Yards of silk. dragged by the lady GO
ing up the aisle in front of him
diamonds enough to give all India the
Gospel The item of dress among
Christian people on the Sabbath day
is an outrage on the Christian religion;
For graceful and beautiful apparel
we have admiration. But the strife
in Christian circles, as to who shall
excel in costly millinery, and who shall
dash up to the church door in the
cayest turnout, and who shall make
the most placement of wardrobe, Is
one ofthe greatest hinderances to re-
ligious advancement Our ladies hats
and shawls are so fine, on rainy days
we are afraid to 60 to church lest we
get a drop on them. Our headgear Is
worth more than our souls. We teeter
and swaggcr up the aisles, to the dis
gust of good men and the grief OF
angels. Enough money is expended
10y the Christians of large city, mex
cess of the requisite outlay for dress,
to relieve all the poverty, and educate
all the ignorance, aud balk all the
crime. Mach of the picty of our
churches is being smothered under
shirred basques, and jabot rutfies and
Louisines. The poor are kept out OF
the church because their plain apparel
looks So bad in the contrast.
We want a great ecclesiastical re-
formation in this matter of Sabbath
accoutrement. Show these religious
peacocks out of the house of God. BY
your example make subdued and mod
- est costume more p, p1lar than gaudy
apparel. Do not PUT so much dry
goods on your back that you canno
climb into glory. You cannot sail into
the harbor of heaven with such rig
ging as that.-Dr. Tdlmage.

A Grange Tobacco Fight in Louisville

There is a lively fight going on just
now between the Changers and the
Tobacco Board of Trade. The Falls
CITY Warehouse, established this year,
in the interest of the Changers. offers
a rebate of two dollars on every hogs
head of tobacco sold. and otherwise
refuses to comply with the rules ofthe
Board. Some time ago the matter was
discussed, and the Board refused to
take any action, but, last week, the
buyers agreed not to attend the sales
at the said warehouse until the rules
of the Board were complied with. The
Falls City house put fifty hogsheads in
the breaks, but the buyers refused to
bid. The State Grange has been APP
pealed to. A committee has gone to
Frankfort about the matter. The
Owen County Grange has passed re-
solutions that if the Falls City house
is not allowed to sell, they will not
send their tobacco to Louisville, but
find another market. Similar meet
ings have been held by the Oranges in
other counties. The Changers are de-
termined to carry their point on tho
tobacco men, but if the fight is allowed
to go on much further, it will do injury
to the trade.

The Navy.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Milwaukee News says the navy is
doomed to a great reduction of officers
and men, as we'll as in vessels. There
are over 800 officers on the active list.
a number which can be reduced at
least one third without detriment to
the service. The writer adds; Mr..
Randall promises to play havoc with
Robesons estimates for the next year,
and the whole House is determined to
hold him to strict accountability for
the money spent.
