AMERICAN PoLITICIANs.-Ralph Waldo

shine ia bsrrooms. Each aspirant tor power

lowest aud depart the widest from the right =
This is sad spectacle when the great party OF

rights and hopes and aspirations CT mar k!no.-
The trustees of power are only energetic when
mischief can be done. imbeclle when evil Is 10

American looks on aud says he does not en-
danger anything. Ile believes that what be

and does not anticipate being seriously caught
10 the meshes of legislation. But one may
ruu the risk once too often. The people
are right minded enough on etllcal ques,
lions, but must pay their deotS alu
must have means OF living we'll and not plncn

The recurrence of an election every now and

choice Of rogue and burglar: How is this

"Our politics arc covered with shame. The

England has become immensely rich by
exporting continually more than she i'm
ported. With us the case has been the
reverse. Because we could buy goods
little cheaper abroad than at home. we
have sent the money out of the country
to pay for foreign goods. And the change
which we now see has been produced
largely by tariff that has stimulated our
own industries till we can now buy the
same goods cheapest at home. This is
the policy and aim of the republican par
~: encouragement. as far AS it can be
effected by legislation. to every branch of
home industry; a stable currency. and as
much OF it as can be kt pit worth dollar for
dollar; protection to every man in his in
dividual rights; but it does not propose
to take from the industrious man to re-
plensb the pockets of the vicious and lazy
lansing Republican.

REMEDY FOR INSECT BITES.

When . mosquito. fea, gnat, or other
noxious insect, punctUres the human skin.
il deposits or injects an atom OF an acidu-
lous fluid of q poisonous nature. The
results are irritation, sensation of tick
ling. itching, or of pain. The tickling of
nies we are comparatively Indifferent
about; but the itch produced by flea. or
gpat, or other noisome insect, disturbs
our serenity. and, like the pain of wasp
or bee sting, excites TO remedy. The
best remedies for the sting OF insects are
those which will instantly neutralize this
acidulous poison deposited in the skin.
These are either ammonia or borax. The
alkaline reaction of borax is scarcely yet
sufficiently appreciated. However, time
will come when its good qualities will be
known and more universally valued than
ammonia, or, as it is commonly termed,
"hartshorne." The solution of borax for
insect bites is made thus: Dissolve one
ounce of borax in one pint OF water that
has been boiled and allowed to cool.
Instead Of plain water, distilled rose
water, elder, or orange flower water, is
more pleasant. The bites are TO be
dabbed with lhe,solution so long as there is
any irritation. For bees or wasps stings.
the borax solution may be made of twice
the above strength. In every farmhouse
