How Grant Himself Would be
Changed,

New York Sun: There is so
much probability at present that
General Grant will be the Republi-
can candidate for President In 1880,
as to make it worth while to con-
slider what would be the probable
effects of his nomination and cleo
ton. Not the least important of
these would be upon the personal
character of General Grant himself.
His mere nomination would make q
changed man Of him. He is very
different now from what he was
when nominated the FIRST time; but
a third nomination would make
him still more changed. Even ad-
mitting that he is a man of equanim
lty, still he has 3 good deal of hu-
man nature in him, and the compli-
ment would be of so extraordinary
a character that it would not be
in human nature not to be affected
by it. General Grant would say to
himself; 81 have received from the
American people such homage as
buSJ hSfCA palh a man bSiCAts AAS
meaning Is that they want me at
the head Of their Government for
life. Why not settle it IN that way,
while they are in the mood for it,by
proclaiming myself Emperor
Some people may think this ex
travagrant. We do not. A third
term of the Presidency is so at va
rance with all our traditions; there
is almost as wide a difference be-
tween that and anything we have
had before as there is between that
and imperial power. The sooner
the people make up their minds not
to be persuaded into the first step
toward empire the sooner will their
safety be assured. We hear fewer
warning voices from leading repub-
licans against the denomination Of
Grant than was expected before
that party became demoralized un-
der Hayes.
There is no dependence to be put
anywhere but in the mass Of inde-
pendent voters. They understand
enough of human nature TO know
how greatly for the worse Grant
would be changed by a renomina
tion and election.

manded by the industrial and COM
mercial interests Of the West and
South. First of all the people de-
mand such facilities for transporta-
tion as shall not sacrifice half the
value of n product in getting IL to
market. They demand the i'm
provement of the waterways and
the extension of the railways. so
that wholesome competition may in
sure more reasonable charges. The
present Pacific railroad has put up
its tariff TO $4,000 for ten ton car
load across the Continent. This is
only an increase of 100 per cent. on
previous rates, and if~this crushing
monopoly is not restrained in its
policy of extortion, we may lcok
out any time for another advance TO
satisfy the great greed Of the Pacific
millionaires. Our only remedy for
this enormous and ever increasing
evil is the establishment of one or
more competing lines between the
Mississippi and the Pacific. But
for the persistent opposition of
these monopolists, who have al
ready robbed the country of more
than Sl00000,O0O in exorbitant
charges, such n competitive line
would now be running between
Fort Worth and San Diego. From
year TO year they have besot the
halls of Congress, used the most un-
scrupulous tools and brought TO
bear the most corruptiag agencies
to prevent legislation that should
secure the completion of the Texas
Pacific, as a competing line and an
open highway 10 the Pacific. The
Bill for the completion Of this great
work is acknowledged on all hands
TO be free from any real subsidy,
free from any power TO combine
with other roads IN order 20 please
the public, free from any chance Of
enriching its projectors, free from
everything in fact, except the power
and legalized purpose To remove
the curse Of the present monopoly,
and open TO the country a great en-
pire of wealth, now little better than
a savage wild.
ST. LOUIS IN THE DOG DAYS.
But my pencil has strayed far
away from ST. Louis, while writing
about the interests Of the great
West. The city is just now what IL
always is the first week in August,
having its full share Of smoke and
dust and heat and business. That
torrid wave that swept over US two
weeks ago was fearful as plague
during it's continuance, but since
that time the city has been quite as
healthy as usual, and that means
up To the health standard of any
large city in the world. People go
a little crazed or dazed in the dog
days, and with the aid Of bad whis-
ky some become very bad indeed.
We are hardly in n normal condi-
tion unless we can show up one
killing, one suicide, a dozen as
saults and a hundred bad drunks in
a single day. Oh, that the dog star
would disappear and Mr.. Murphy
would come, just TO keep people
from going wild with drink or crazy
with want. j. J.. Il.

While the political workingmen
are asserting that there is no work
for them to do, we read of strikes
in various parts of the country, and
of complaints of Western farmers
that they cannot obtain help enough
to harvest their crops, though they
offer $3.50 per day as wages. In
Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota and Il
linois the farmers have been crying
in vain for help at this rate while
those States have heen overrun with
idle and predatory tramps, and their
principal cities have been infested
with COmmunistic orators and agi-
tators, demanding "bread or BLOOD"
and threatening vengeance against
capital, capitalists and corporations.
The truth is, the leading labor agi-
tators are opposed to working for
living at any price Phila. Rec.

For the Citizen,
I Have Raised the Window, Darling.
cAnswer to raise the window Mother Darling)
BY W. WATSON.

l have raised the window darling,
And the cool breeze enters now,
While the perfume of the roses
Seem to cool thy fevered brow.
Do not speak to me ofdyine,
Lay your head upon my brt asst;
l win care and e'er watch DER you;
Nay my darling! go to rest,
Yes, how well do know him,
And l remember how he came,
Seeking as he said no other,
Knowing none other but thy name.
And | know how he won thee,
As he wooed in loves sweet tone,
Swearing that he e'er would guide thee,
That he loved, and thee alone.
remember how you trusted,
How your thoughts were all of him
l have raised the window, darling,
'Tis thy sight that growing dim
Well l know he left you,
How he cast you aside,
How he wooed and won anC her,
Now he claims her as his bride.
l know all the pain you suffered,
Would that | conld share with you
All that ever you've endured
Since to you he proved untrue;
'Tis not deaths marks as you say,
For the angels are watching o'er you,
They win not call you from me away.
1t isl see you're dying,
Let me impress farewell kiss;
When he was telling his devotion
Never did ! look for this.
Yes, Pll give him back this token,
This shining circulet of gold,
Which he placed upon thy finger,
W hen he to you loves story told.
You are cold, Ill close the window
For ! see death in your eyes,
Say you heard the angels singing,
Calling tor you from the skiess
will try to meet you, darling,
On that bright celestial shore,
Where the heart knows no sorrow
And we meet to part no more.

The Nationals and the Democracy.

An inspection of the principles
of the Greenback, or National party,
as enunciated by the recent meet
ings in Washington, shows that
they are aiming at the same results
sought by the Democracy. Thus
they remove themselves from all
suspicion that they seek something
else, and destroy every reason for
their separate existence. Two par
ties, seeking the same end in gov
ernment, is an absurdity, an anon
ally, something which never did and
never can exist. If it appears that
there are two such parties, it is only
an appearance, only temporary,
different phase of the same thing.
The movement is in the main, where
the means are identical, simply an
earnest seeking for the part of lead
ership and an enjoyment of place
and emoluments on the part of a
class of men who hSye not obtained
place and leadership under the old
parties. Whether they are better
men, abler men, safer leaders, more
patriotic, prudent and trustworthy,
is a matter which may be safely left
TO the judgment of the people of
this country. The Democracy, un-
der the leadership of the past ten
years, aiming at those ends set
down by the Nationals at Washing
ton as their purposes, have, under
difficulties which have appalled,,
sickened faint-hearted men, pro
gressed slowly, but with sure and
firm step towards power they are
about to grasp. Under the Organi
zation of the past they have ad-
vanced to the control of the legisla-
tive branch of the Government, to
be assumed entirely in 1880, pro-
vided they are not weakened by di-
visions.
What reason, then, exists for an
other party? The National leaders
say they want Government bonds
to bear the burdens of taxation like
other property, a full legal tender
currency, the immediate and uncon-
ditional repeal of the resumption act
and lawful liberation of the coin in
the Treasury, the removal OF all re-
strictions as to the coinage and use
of silver, the issue of treasury notes
to such an extent as will fully sat
isfy the requirements of trade, the
retiring of national bank notes and
substitution therefor of Govern
ment notes, opposition to monopo-
lies, subsidies, and special privi-
leges, but a judicious expenditure
in the construction of necessary ma
tional improvements, opposition to
the increase Of the national bonded
debt. If they had taken the meas
ures persistently pressed by the
Democratic House upon the atten-
tion of the Senate, they would have
deduced therefrom the very princi-
pies laid down above, without a sin
gle exception.
Then. where is the use for q new
party to carry out principles al
ready ably, earnestly and effectually
advocated by an already existing
party, unless it is to be looked for
in the desire of some persons whose
abilities and talents have been neg
lected, to hold Office and draw pay9
Such men can always promise more
on the stump than any honest man
can promise-more than any man
can fulfill. When they get together
to speak out before the world, they
simply promise what the Democ-
racy has been laboring at for years,
and what it will surely accomplish.

AN AcRoSTIC.

Mid scenes that enrapture, or charms that en-
snare,
In my moments of bliss, or my hours ofoare :,
Some memory sweet wherever DO
Sends q thrill to ny heart and turns it to
thee.
Every star that peeps forth and shines in the
sky,
May beauty possess TO gladden. the eye,
May sparkle alone in the splendor Of hight.
Alasl there's but one that is queen Of the
night.
JOY illumines the heart that basks in her
beams,
Pure 10y that ends in the fairest Of dreams,
Alasl as 10 night look up to the sky,
To the queen of the Azore fields upon high,
To the beautiful orb so fair and so grand;
Every emotion is stirred and | reach forth
my hand,
Realizing the distance that keeps us apart.
Sadly feeling that distance endears the fond
heart.
Oh, could thon hope that time would but
prove
No strength all sufficient to battle true love.

In California and the Pacific coast
generally, the Chinese are regarded
as the cause of the hard times
among workmen. In the West the
contraction" necessary before re-
sumption can be attained is in one
way associated with lack of pros
perity. In New York city the
trunk lines of railroad are set down
as the chief artificers of ruin. In
other parts the introduction of
labor saving machinery is pro
the cause of all our woes.
In Tennessee a yeac ago it was
the conventional interest law; then
high taxes, and now the wheat fail
ure. In fact, it is contraction and
resumption. We want and must
have more currency, Let this be
the key noge.

Billy Finney is looking very badly
just now, for he lost his heart just
beyond the river some time since,
and is afraid to tread that "orna-

but he consoles himself by cherish
ing the lock of hair of jetty black
