Senator B,ck, of Kentucky, Is q
very sagacious, cautious politician,
- we'll as sound statesman. He
Il confident that the next Con-
Rtess will be Dem mocratic, notwith-
standing California should elect
Radicals, as gains more than suffi-
ciont to cover this and all other
Democratic losses will be made in
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, New York,
Pennsylvania, Missouri, South
Carolina and Florida. He is In
favor of unseating Kellogg and
giving the seat to Judge Spofford,
who was honestly elected. Con-
cerning Grant, he thus expresses
his views: "If any man takes him

knows what he is about. His tarry

he said, "when he returns home by
way Of San Francisco, he will
have such reception through the
country from California to Phila.
delphia as never man got before
him. Why, George Pullman is
building now, am told, twelve ol
tho finest coaches ever placed on
wheels especially to convey him
and his friends on This trip. A
tremendous fictitious enthusiasm
will be worked up for him al
every station, AMI then the cry
will be raised that he must accept
the nomination ia Difference to the
will of the people as thus ex-
pressed, and nominated he will be.
It will be the duty of tha honest
press of the land to discount the
effect of the reception by exposing
the means by which it will be
caused. aud thu, open the eyes OF
the psople to its fraudulent char
acter.u
In reference t. the character ol
the campaign of 1889, Senator Beck
says: "rhe leaders Of the National
party-Sam Cary, Dlauton Dun
can, Ben Butler, etc.-are playing
into the hanls of the Grant move
ment, and they expect To be re-
warded therefor in due time. The
Republicans will have them make
incendiary speeches about the
rights of property, and then they
will use these utterance3 as evil
dences that the country requires
the services of IL strong man at Its
head to protect the in terests of all
capitalists and landowners, OF
whatever degree. Thus they hope
to bind together all the monetary
and landed interests of the coun.
try in favor OF Grant, and by thus
doing they hope TO sweep him intc
power by resIstless majority"
It was exactly to this purpose that
the arch-agitator, Kearney's, mis-.
siol on that side was Intended.
But the people, forewarned, will
be forearmed, and the Dem ocracy y
will triumph in spite of the ma
chinations of all the politica! trick
sters and monopolists, with Grant
at their head.

"NOT IF 1T WAS MY BOY.''

Some years ago the late Horace Mann
the eminent educator, delivered an ad-
dress at the opening of some reformato-
ry institution for boys, during which he
remarked that if only one boy was saved
from ruin, it pays for all the cost and
care and labor of establishing such an
institution as that. After the exercises
had closed, in private conversation, a
gentleman rallied Mr.. Mann upon his
statement, and said to him: sDid you
not color that little, when you said
that all expense and labor would be re-
paid if it only saved one boy % 'Not If
it was my boy" was the solemn and con-
victing reply. All there is wonderful
value about ''my boy" Other boys may
be rude and rough; other boys may be
reckless and wild other boys may seem
to require more pains and labor than
they ever will repay; other boys may be
left to drift uncared for to the ruin
which is so near at hand but "my boy
1t were worth the toll of a lifetime
! and the lavish wealth of world to save
him from the temporal and eternal ruin.
We would go the world round to save
him from peril, and would bless every
hand that was stretched out to give him
help or welcome. And yet every poor
wandering outcast, homeless man is one
whom some fond mother called "my boy. >
Every lost woman, sunken in the depths
of sin, was somebody's daughters in hel
days of childish, innocence. Today
somebody's son is hungry outcast
somebody's daughter is weary, helpless
wanderer, driven by necessity in the
paths that lead to death. Shall we
shrink from labor, shall We hesitate al
what cost, when the work before us i;

boy" not if we have love of him whc

GOING COURTING.

One of the chief compensations of
woman's life is found in the fact that
she does not have to ''go courting."
1t must be confessed that in these days
the modern belle does her share of the
wooing; but she does not have to dress
up in stiff collar and pair of boots a
size too small for her to walk up to the
cannon's mouth of her inamorata's fam
lily, consisting of father, mother, grand
mother, maiden aunt and perhaps a
dozen brothers and sisters, and inquire,
in trembling voice:
"Is Miss Ayabella at home 2"
Whenever a man goes courting every
body seems to know all about it. His
demeanor tells the observant spectator
the business he is intent upon. He
might as we'll placard himself, "pm
going a courting." Everybody is cogni-
zant of it, and looks knowingly, and asks
him if the '.Northern lights were bright
last night about one O'Clock" and 'how
the market is for kerosene up at Daddy
Browns and score of other questions
out of place.

must be notorious ; he must be extreme
