WoRKINGMEN disposed to give to the
Radical party, always the active agent
of the bondholders, substantial aid and
comfort, by starting a third party, to
draw off votes from the Democracy, will
do well to ponder on this utterance Of
Secretary Sherman in his speech at
Mansfield:
"The Secretary is authorized to pre-.
pare for resumption, and for that pur.
pose to use the surplus revenue and sell
either of the three class of bonds, all of
which are now at or above par in coin

A FEW years ago, in the good times, the
Republican leaders were very ready to
claim credit for their management of pub.

was wholly owing to their happy sagac.

acknowledge they and their policy are in
any way responsible for the present ruin

ALTHOUGH Judge West has had time to
cool down since he made his famous
Cleveland speech, and prepare a more
elaborate statement of his views upon the
labor question, we confess we cannot see
wherein he has improved his position to
any great extent. 1t is true his Belle
fontaine speech does not contain so much
nonsense as his former speech, and he
does not gush over the fact that he is not
a railroad stockholder or bloated capt..
alist; yet he does not present any new
views, nor does he propose any practic-
able remedy for existing evils. He ad-
vocates the plan of fixed minimum rate
for labor, and division of the profits of
capital, if any, at stated periods. But at
the same time he does not advocate any
remedial legislation, but leaves it as it is
now, as an amicable arrangement be-
tween the employer and employe. He
suggests nothing of value, and when he
has gotten through he leaves the case
just wher) it was when he commenced.
There is not a single practical idea in
his remarks on the labor question beyond
that which everybody knows Columbus

SECRETARY of the Treasury, John Sher-
man, who made his speech at Mansfield
last Friday evening, is more the "arcRi-
tect of ruin" than any other one man.
While Senator in the U. S. Senate
in 1868, he wrote letter denouncing
bondholders for claiming that 500 bonds
were payable in gold, and in 1869 was
the chief instrument in passing the gold
bill, that robbed the American people of
some FIVE hundred millions of dollars.
This "architect of ruin" claims great
credit to the Hayes Administration, of
which he is part, for civil service reform,
and gives instances of saving a million
or so. He gives no credit to the late
Democratic House of Congress, that fore
ed Republican Senate and Republican
Administration to consent and submit to
reduction of expenditures of sixty-fve
millions of dollars per annum. Mr.. Sher-
man steadily opposed thisreduC;ion-vo.
ted against these reforms. John Sher.
man has been one of the chief architects
of ruin.
Hayes's Secretary of the Treasury, in
his speech at Mansfield, maintains the
resumption policy, This resumption act
requiring a return to specie payments
January l, 1879, has hung like a pail over
the land; capital has been timorous and
fearful, because men knew that contrac-
ton would shrink values, and industry
must perish. One year ago the Demo
Gratis in Congress voted unanimously for
the repeal of this resumption. The re-
peal passed the Democratic House, but
failed in the Republican Senate, John
Sherman being one to vote against re-
pealing the abomination.

for plaintiff. In this case there were
but two passenger cars comprising the

front car and found it pretty well fill

him. He left it and went into the rear

passenger and baggage. When the
conductor came in and demanded fare,
the plaintiff showed his ticket and re.
auested a seat in the car. The con.
ductor told him to 60 into the front
car. The plaintiff replied that he had
been in there, and that the smoke
made him sick. and refused to give up

Where the sky, above her weeping,
Bendeth softly; ivy creeping
Ger the hallowed ground
That iniolds our blighted flower,
Lent to US one sunny hour,
But, ere clouds OF Autumn lower, s..,
Better soil hath found.
Dying-oh! We saw her dying,
And beheld, with stiflcd sighting,
Lilies where the rose was lying
On her dimpled cheek;
Felt the dainty form grow lighter,
Saw the pearly brow gleam whittier,
And the eyes grow larger, brighter
Pure eyes, soft and meek.
Spirit, list, this tranquil even:
Were dear life passed, my sins forgiven,
And the lifted gates OF Heaven
Showed me Paradise,
All the glories softly shining,
Where immortal flowers are twining,
Still would ! in wo be pining,
Were missing those soft eyes.
God hath spoke,-through them revealing
Many hose that, pride concealing,
In my heart hath slept, till kneeling,
BY her little bed,
To my lips her soft hand pressing,
Breathing many fervent blessing,
While the fragile form caressing
With low-bended head.
Mourn her? No! Soft eyes are beaning
Through the mists OF lifelong dreaming,
From where golden streets are cleaning
Far beyond the skies.
To thee, darling, am going;,
Though dark waves are round me noWms,
Brighter than the stars are glowing,
Still, those beacon.eyes.
