Better work for Mr.. BIaiue.


: 1t must be conceded that Senator
Blaine acquitted himself very fairly In
bis assault upon the old Massachusetts,
Federalists. Their anti-war, peace-at-
any-price policy has an unpleasant odor,
and MIR. Blaine stirred 1t up very vigor-
ously under the nostrils of their descend
ants.
One Of the heavy burdens which Dan
lei Webster had to bear upon his broad
shoulders throughout most of his long
public life was the suspicion of having
sympathized with the opposition made
by the New England Federalists to the
war Of 1872. Mr.. Webster took great
pains, on many occasions, In the Senate
and ont, to defend himself against the
charge. In the minds Of fair aud intelli-
gent men, he succeeded but even bis
mastery powers did not enable him en-
tirely to rid himself from certain de-
gree of popular prejudice against him on
this account.
At one time when Honest John DAVIS,
as he was called, was Governor of Mas
sachusetts. and candidate for re-elec-
ton, the charge was preferred against
him, by an opposition newspaper, that
III his youth he was Federallst, and
that when the news of the burning Of the
Capitol at Washington, by the British
troops, was received, Davis threw up his
hat and proposed three cheers. After a
long silence, Mr.. Davis came out In a
letter denying the accusation; but it had
already produced its effect.
But few OF the old men of Massachu>
sets, at that day, were willing to admit,
even If shey had been identified with
the Federalists, that they were ever op
posed to the war. Almost q solitary ex
ception 10 these was Joseph T. Bucking
ham, a remarkable man, for very many
years the editor of the Boston Courier
a comparatively independent Whig paper
Mr.. Buckingham, TO his dying day, wa
Lproud of his identification with th
Federalists, and he used to boast of tn
! leaders Of the party as band Of tn
, purest patriots that ever lived,
But whether Mr.. Buckingham wa
right or Mr.. Blaine is right in their oppt
site estimates of the men and the meal
; ures of bygone age, let II not be fo
; gotten that all these things belong
. the past. Our differences about them al

The Silver Dollar n Legal Ten
der Until 1874.

In the Senate Thursday, in the
debate on the silver question Mr.. Thur
man opposed the amendment, and said
there were certain matters which could
properly be treated by concurrent reso-
luton, and among them was the declara-
ton of opinion by the two houses Of Con-
gress when they might deem such decla-
ration proper. 1t was not his purpose to
speak upon the silver question until the
bill itself should come before the Senate
but there was one thing to which he de-
sired 70 refer: Senator after Senator had
declared the act of 1873 demonetized the
the silver dollar. IL did no such thing.
The silver dollar was demopetized by
the revised statutes, but they were not
intended to change any existing law
They were simply compilation Of laws
as they existed at the date OF the adop-
ton of the statutes. The silver dollar ol
412i grains was full legal-tender for all
purposes, and had not been legally de-
monetized. The argument had beer
made that silver dollars were not in ex'
istence at that time, and therefore the
bondholders did not expect to be paid IL
silver. AS well might such an argument
be made against gold because there wa
but little OF that coin in use. The coinag'
act of 1878 was a step in the direction o
demonetizlpg silver, but it was not ac-
tually demonetized until the adoption o
the revised statutes in 1874. 1t had beei
argued that injustice woald be done Il
those who purchased bonds since 1873, !
the government should pay its bonds ii
silver, but he (Mr. Thurman) would en-
deavor TO show when the bill itself shoul'
come up for consideration, that the pay
ment of the bonds in silver. would not d
Justice to any one.

From the N. Y. Sun.
Free Education for Rich Mems

The salaried officials-of the College of
the City Of New York are circulating for
signatures, with the help of their pupils,
a petition TO the State Legislature against
abolisning the college. IT is quite natur-
al that they should thus exert themselves
to preserve in existence an institution on
which they depend for their living. 1t is
quite natural, too, that they should have
Influence enough over the youth placed
ander their control to secure their CO.
operation In the work. Like the silver
smiths Of Ephesus, whose trade was
menaced by the preaching of St Paul,
they find 1t easy TO get up cry in favor
of their goddess. IL remains to be seen
whether they can make noise enough TO
drown the voice of reason and truth.
The petition adroltly says that the
college is open TO the rich and the poor
both, but as matter of fact 1t is the rich
only who send their children to 1t. No
poor man can afford to avail himself OF
Its privileges. To clothe, feed, ami lodge
boy from the age of fourteen to that OF
eighteen, without his doing anything for
| himself, implies an income on the part
of his parents quite inconsistent with the
idea of poverty. Besides, q college edu-
cation Is only stepping stone to some
profession or employment involving the
expenditure of additional time and
| money, and this IS still further out OF the
reach of the poor. We have only to look
/ at the residences of the boys who &c
through the entire college course to oe
satisfied of their rank in society. They
all live in localities in which no family
can be maintained on less than from
three to five thousand dollars a year
and to call such people poor is an abuse
of language. -
The College of the City of N6w Yorl
costs the taxpayers, of the city $50 ,00t
every year in money, and at least S25,OO'
more in interest on the value of the lane
and building 1t occupies. The net resul
of its operations ls graduating class o
forty or fifty young men, who would b.
better cared for at Columbia College o
at the University on Washington Squar
at an annual cost of not more than $50
900. To save the parents of these youni
men the payment of tuition fees of S10
: year apiece, which they are abundant
} ly able 20 afford the rest of the communi
ty is taxed to the amount of $4,000
year. The bare statement of these fact
is all the argument needed to oonvinc
any sensible and disinterested perso
that the concern ought to be abolished.

1t is necessary only to look at the
figures for proof Of the extensive top

to pay the officers and enlisted men for
the present year. Ofthis sum $780,
600 are paid TO 1900 enlisted men (com-
mon sailors) aud over $4,0O0,000 TO the
officers. Is there any other corporation
that pays its overseers more than all its

A writer in the Western Ru-
raj says he has never known a
failure of carrot ponltice for
scratches on horses, and he gives
the following direction, proba-
bly, valuable, as carrot has an
excellent effect on many un-
healthy sores. Wash the sores
thoroughly with warm soft wa
ter and CASTLE soap, then rinse
them Off with clear water, after
which rub dry with a cloth.
Now CRATE up some carrots Ga
bout a pint after grated and
bind them on the sores. The
best way to bind it on is to take
a cloth and wrap it around the
sores, letting the lower edge
come close down to the hoof;
then tie a cord around this low
er end, after which put the graz
ted carrot into the opening at
the top of the cloth, little a.
bove the fetlock. This should
be repeated every day for four
or five days, when scratches will
be cured.

Sick Head Ache.

One OF our exchanges has the
following;
This complaint is the result Of
eating too much and exercising
too little. Nine times in ten the
cause is the fact that the stomach
was not able to digest the food
last taken into it, either from it's
haviDg been unsuitable, or excess
i've in quantity. A diet of bread
aud butter, with ripe fruits Or Der.
ries, with moderate continuous ex.
ercise in the open air, sufficient TO
keep up a gentle perspiration, will
ore almost every case in a very
short time. Two teaspoonfuls
charcoal in half glass Of water
and drank, generally gives instant
relief. We are inclined 10 think
that the above remedy will do in
some bat not in all cases. A SOW.
ereign remedy for this distressing
disease is not easily found. A
correspondent in Connecticut con-
tributes the following on this sub
jec! Sick headache is period
cal, comes on at regular intervals,
and is the signal Of distress which
the stomach puts up to Inform us
that there is an over alkiline con-
dition of its fluids; that it needs
a natural acid to restore the ba'-
terry to its normal working condi-
ton. When the first symptoms
of head ache appear take table
spoonful OF lemon juice clear fif
teen minutes before eating, and
the same amount at bed time fol
low this mp Until all symptoms
are passed take no other remedies.
and Won will soon be able 10 go
without this unwelcomed nuisance.
Many will object TO this because
the remedy is so simple, but |
have cured many cases in this
manner.

Cold Water.

Ice water is luxury in sum-
MGR that can only be indulged
by the wealthy. In the country
It is very inconvcnient as well
as expensive to keep a supply
on band. Cool water is some
thing to be desired by all class
es and in all localities, and it
can always be had il the follow
ing simple directions are OBJ
served. Procure an .stng7dzed
carthen jug or "water monkey"
if possible; fill it with water
and hang it in a current of air.
The water pcrcolates through
the earthenware in the shape of
fine dew, the moving air eyapo-
rates this moisture, very rapid
ly, which in short time rem
ders the contents Of the vessel
dellciously cool. AS many Of
these can be procured as the nc
ccssities of a family require and
a constant supply be thus kept
on hand. This is the plan a.
dopted in tropical climates
where we have drank water,
nearly ice cold, when the thor
momcter marked more than 100
degrees in the shade. I'm
glazed earthen is not easily
found in some localities and, in
such cases, almost anything else
will answer, as stone jug, tin
milk can or any similar article.
Take some old wooden cloth and
fit it to the outside Of the YES
sci, sewing it on tightly and
firmly. Now, after filing with
water, dip the whole concern in
to a barrel of water or pour wa
ter around and over the wooden
covering till thoroughly satura-
ted. Hang up in a draft as be-
fore directed, taking care TO
keep the WOODEN covering well
wet, and you will always find
water cool enough for health
and comfort. OF course those
who have cool wells and springs
need no such make shifts, ex-
cept when they desire to carry.
water into the feld,or elsewhere,
at remote distances from the
source of supply. In such
case, a vessel, prepared as be-
fore described, and hung in the
branches of a tree, will give a
fluid twenty-five degrees cooler
than the atmosphere.
