The great cry of the Democratic party Is
reform, reform Yet 1t would be difficult for
any one to point out in the history of the
Democratic party for the last twenty years an
instance where that party inaugurated or orig
inally favored single reform. BY their
fruits, not their promises shall we know them.
-Ogle County Free Press.
The only approach the party has made TO
getting into power in the last sixteen or
twenty years was, that it had control of the
lower house of congress during one session.
Thus imperfectly habilitated, however, it
managed to cut down the national expendi.

would have increased the amount to fifty
millions year, but for the opposition of "a
republican president and senate. Then it
did herculean work, by exposing frauds and
corruption, towards purifying the public ser

blIty for reform was New York, in which,
in the course of two years, it broke up several
gigantic rings that had been robbing the
people, and reduced the state taxes from $15,
100000 to less than $S,OO0,O00 year. by

THE INTERNATIONAL RIFLE MATCH.

Under the auspices OF the Centennial Elk
position at Philadelphia arrangements were
made for an international rifle match, to
which all nations were invited to send
"teams," "a team consisting of eight men, to
contest for the championship of the world
The match was TO take place at Creedmoor
on Long Island, opening September 18th, and
occupying two days. The distances to be fir.
ed were 800, go and 1000 yards. To realize
what shooting at such distances is, it must be
borne in mind that to the common eye at six
hundred yards away the head of a mau looks
like small, round ball. At 800 yards the
rings of the targets are invisible, only the
bulls eye can be seen. At 1000 yards the
bulls eye Is "a little glistening speck
Five teams entered the list, representing
Canada, Ireland, Scotland, Australia, and the
United States.
Each member of each team was allowed 80
shots. The highest score any team could
make was 5000. The shooting occupied

The Ottawa Free Trader takes Campbell
with as much gusto as 1t would dose OF Vim
epar Bitters. We always had great respect
for the editor of that paper, and he has our
full sympathy now that he findshimselfi in q
situation where all that he has written about
the rag. baby father will trouble his editorial
brains like Banquo's ghost-Lockport PhG-
mir.
Our friend "Styx' may as well husband
his sympathy tor somebody else. The "doSe"
i, mentions is 50 tempered and modified that
even as weak a stomach as that of Styx
might bear it, To change the figure, the
FREE TRADER finds itself in the fix OF the
boarder who had the choice Of ram, lamb,
sheep or mutton" Ofthe presidential candi-
dates, both Tilden and Hayes are hard mon
ey neH; and both the congressional candi-
dates in this district are greenhackers aud
advocates of soft money-the only difference
beng that Hayes, as part of his soft money,
wants large intermixture Of national bank
bills; while Campbell wants greenbacks only.
All in all, then, the choice TO as between the
whole of them, on the financial question, is
that Of the unhappy boarder
In some other respects, however, the bill
of fare is more diversified. Not to go any
further, Campbell is hearty hater of Grant
ism, and during the last session OF congress
voted steadily with the democrats en- every
question involving retrenchment in expendl-
lures, reform in the public service, and the
exposure and punishment of the multitarious
dishonesties and corruptlons of Grantism,
while every republican congressman voted
the other way; and it is presumable that
Hayes, should he be elected, would vote with
his party, and thus in way the opposite TO
that of Campbell. Well, you see, when the
bill of fare thus offers US choice be-
tween clean, wholesome reform, on the one
hand, and filthy rotten Grantism on the 9TH
err we take Tilden, Campbell and reform as
the more congenial to our stomach.

A noble act was performed, yes
terday. by q young lad, who finding
Jake Miller, the poor old sot, drunk
and bleeding, from bruises received
In beingthrown from saloon, took
him to his home In the Fourth Ward.
How many of the men and boys in all
this christian, humane city would
have done the same? We think we
car answer safely, very few. Many
would entertain feeling Of pity for
the poor old man but their very pity
would be tinged with loathing for his
miserable condition, and would re-
strain them from extending a helping
hand. And why? Jake Miller, in all
his beastliness, his drunken depravi-
ty, is human being, made in the
image OF his Creator. with a soul that
shall live forever. What Is charity,
what IL humanity, what is the milk
Of human kindness if it be not ex-
tended to such as him? Other boys
Jeered at and tormented him, follow
ing HIM with taunfing cries, In his
winding course but this boy with q
manly soul threw q protecting and
J supporting arm around the poor old
drunkard and led him carefully home.
Ihia Il true nobility.-Sostth. Bend

He emigrated to this. country in
1s49, settling at Jefferson, Wis, on a
farm where he. remained until the
time of his death, which occurred
April 10, 1876. Soon after settling at
Jefferson he obtained few colonies
Of bees and was so successful with
them that, at time when all other
crops failed, his bees came to the res
cue and helped him over, the. most
critical time of his life. -, .r..,.
3 In 1868 he had increased his apiary
to 60 stocks of black bees in all sorts
of box hives, and in 1864 he COM
menced to use frame hives and trans
ferred all his bees into them. In the
same year S64-he bought his first
Italian, and as rapidly as possible
Italianized his apiary. and then sold
large numbers of italian queens all
over the country. -tr-
About 1869 or 1870 he imported,
personally, 100 Italian queens, 60 OF
which were alive on their arrival in
New York. OF this number he in
troduced 40 in his own apiaries. He
increased his own stock, regardless
of cost, every year, but had larger re-
turns. especially in late years, both
from the sale of honey and bees.
Queen rearing he thought unprofita-
BILE.
He had an intense enthusiasm in
the business. and worked so hard in
the apiary as probably to shorten his
life. His success was the cause OF
many others engaging in the bust
ness.
He established a bank at jefferson
of which he was cashier (his bees
having provided the capiteD, but
during the honey harvest he left
the bank TO the care of the employees
and went from one apiary to the 9TH
er. personally supervising all that
was done. Ai'-at,iAs
We shall not soon forget two OF
three pleasant visits we made at his
home with his interesting family. He
told us that his wife demonstrated
with him for working so HARD, telling
him that he now had a competence
and could give up his bees with the
laborious care of so many, but he
seemed to think the returns were
large for the amount OF labor, max
ing the work still q pleasure, although
no longer a necessity. He reached
the number of /, 400 colonies, and on
one OF our visits when he had nearly
1000 colonies, he said. with a half
comical expression, What would ]
do il all should die in the winter?'
And then the comical look gave way
to one of German determination; he
said: Il would buy some more, and
with so many hives full OF empty
comb would show you how soon ]
would FIJI them up again.
His daughters Kate and Maggie
(since marrie6 were his able and
faithful assistances, and the son
George, since his fathers death, has
assumed the principal care Of the
