ty years, disgraced and dishonored
party even more by the acts of its own
leaders than by the repeated spurning
OF the people. it still stands in the
way OF the Nations peace, and men
are still asked to support it because
their fathers did before them.
The situation now is suggestive. In
October last, the Democratic party at
tempted revolutionary movement.
1t threatened to stop the wheels of
government unless permitted to defy
the Constitution and the laws, and to
strip the President of his rightful
power. 1t has appealed to the people,
and has met with ignominious defeat
in every State which has voted since
Congress adjourned. A year ago
scarcely a Republican was hopeful
enough to predict Democratic defeat
in 1880, and the only question grave
ly discussed in political circles was
whether the Democratic party would
elect one man or another to the Pres
idency. Now scarcely a Democrat
dares to hope for a success of his par
ty in the Presidential election, and
the only question is whether the Re-
publicans will nominate their best and
worthiest, or an inferior candidate.
Ohio has put the brand of popular
condemnation upon the soft-money
and repudiating tendency of the Dem
ocratic party, and the uprising of the
Democrats of New York against Mr..
Tilden and his clique of cipher-using
tricksters makes it plain that the par
ty cannot hope to win in this State,
either with him Or without him. 1t
is doomed to defeat. And everybody
knows that the party deserves its doom,
because it has been false to Democrat
ic principles, false to human rights,
false to the Union, false to the public
faith, and false in these later days to
the elementary principles that gov
ernment called free shall not be con-
trolled by massacre or ballot-stuffing,
by force or fraud.
The young man of to-day who ties
himself to the Democratic party has
before him dismal year of penitence
and shame. He will see the party of
his choice trampled into the mire by the
exposure of the most Infamous things
ever done under a free government.
As samples three may be mentioned:
the cipher dispatches, the Chisolm
massacre, and the vote of the last
Democratic Congress for repeal of the
Resumption act. In every respect
and at every point the Democratic
party has dishonored and disgraced it.
self as Ear as it was possible, and its
ADLER journals are now crying aloud
with great bitterness Of spirit, that it
has thrown away all its legitimate
chances, and has no hope save in the
willingness Of one desperate old man
to buy votes with money most unscru-
pulously acquired. Is that the sort Of
a party to which the young men of
to-day want to attach themselves?

The Influence of Temper on Health.

Our English contemporary, Capital
and Labor, which is generally correct
IN its assertions, thinks that, while
excessive labor, exposure to wet and
cold, diprivation of sufficient quanti-
ties of necessary and wholesome food.
habitual bad lodging, sloth, and in
temperance, are all deadly enemies to
human life, none of them are so bad
as violent and ungoyerned passions.
Men and women have survived all the
former, says the writer, and at last
reached an extreme old age; but it
may be safely doubted whether a sin
gle instance can be found of man of
violent and irascible temper, habitual-
ly subject to storms Of ungovernable
passion, who has arrived at a very ad-
vanced period of life. It is, therefore.
matter of the highest Importance to
every one desirous of preserving "a
sound mind in a sound body" to have
special care, amid all the trials and
vlcissitudes of life, to maintain qui-
ct possession of his own spirit. Sci

Learn the Lesson.

Our Democratic contemporaries in
sist that the loyal and patriotic people
of this State, in order to be consistent
ought to have voted for Ewing and
Rice, as they were once officers in the
Union army.
Now if it had been simply choice
of men, without any difference in
principles, there would be something
in this. But our Democratic friends
must learn, bitter as the~lesson may
be, that it is their party which the
people Of this State and country so
deeply distrust, and that service in the
Union army, however honorable, will
never lead one single patriot to vote
for man who now trains with the
rebels whom the Union army subdued.
The rebel brigadiers announced last
spring and winter, upon the floor Of
Congress, their utter hostility to the
results Of the war, and proclaimed
principles more dangerous to the Gov
ernment, if possible, than the seces-
sion doctrine of 1901. With those
rebel brigadiers Ewing and Rice cast
in their lot; to those rebel brigadiers
the party that nominated Ewing and
Rice gives its allegiance. Should that
party succeed, the people feel that the
blood and the treasure of the Nation
would have been worse than wasted.
To entitle Ewing and Rice to the
votes of men who love their country,
those two gentlemen must either have
abandoned, the Democratic party, or
the Democratic party must have aban-
doned its alliance with the country's
enemies. As neither of these things
was done, it was as unreasonable and
absurd to expect Republicans to vote
for Ewing and Rice, as it would have
been in 1864 to expect the loyal peo-
pie of the country to turn their backs
upon the civilian Lincoln, and vote
for the General, Mcclellan, while the
latter was running upon a platform
which declared the war a failure.

Plain Words for Young Voters.


Nearly one million of young men
will vote next year for the first time
at Presidential election. Many of
them have cast or will cast their first
vote this year. If they are divided in
number as the present adult and vot-
ing population is now divided, about
100000 of them are of Democratic
parentage or associations.
What are these young men going
to do? In the State Of New York
they may have a perceptible influence
on the result About $4,000 or TO-
900 young men will cast their first
Presidential vote next year, in this
State alone. Proud and hopeful
young men do not want to tie them
selves to a disgraced and defeated par
ty, at the outset. The thought Of
such mistake will linger with them
long. With what pride and joy the
men who voted first for Fremont men
ton the fact. They were at the birth
of the great party which has ruled
the country for twenty years and has
changed the history of the world.
Does anybody ever mention with plea
sure that he cast his first vote for
James Buchanan? Let it be granted
that Buchanan was an honest man,
who gave no willing or intentional
aid to the rebellion which afterward
deluged the land with blood; still, is
there a man who remembers with sat-
isfaction that his first vote was cast
for party which, from that day to
this. has never been able to win the
confidence of the American people?
The young men who will soon cast
their first vote have an easy choice.
In 1856 wise men hesitated. 1t was a
new and untried party, this Republi-
can party, and men doubted whether
it could WELD power without disrupt
ing the Union, destroying constitu-
tional ties and plunging the country
into anarchy. 1t was then the thought
of many that the old and tried De-
mocracy could more safely be trusted.
But it has never been the party of the
people from that day to this. Twen-
ty-three years have passed, and the
Democratic party has never been able
to lift lp its head in pride for one de-
cent thing done. Nearly generation
of men have gone to their graves
since the Democratic party has been
able to call itself anything but the
tool of the South. A sectional party
at all times, defeated party for twen-

Summer, Long Ago.

Dear old Grandmother lifts her eyes
To where in the distance the mountains rise;
She secs he shadows so cold and gray
That are born of the drear November day :.
She hears the rush of the mountain breeze,
As it brushes the leaves from the stately trees
With a vague regret for the year grown old.
The meadows are lying ali still and brown,
Their summers harvest at last cut down.
And Grandmother lOngS-thOugh it be in vain
For the breath of the summer-t time again.
The scent OF the clover and neW-mown hay,
The meadows bespangled with daisies gay,
The hum of bees and the reaper's song,
And the brook that chattered its way along.
Dear old Grandmother! Long ago,
Ere time has sprinkled her head with snow,
The summer of youth for her was sweet,
And spread its treasures beneath her feet,
Till she forgot in her heart SO gay
That summer must sometime pass away,
The merry seasons grow gray and cold,
And youth turn silent and sad and old.
And now she sits in her old armchair;
Wrinkled her cheek and white her hair.
Over the hills the clouds pass by,
Over the earth thin shadows lie.
In Grandmother's ear soft voices call,
On Grandmothers heart their echoes fall,
And the last faint beams of the setting sun
Warn hill and valley that day is done.
Patient Grandmother! Well sh e knows
That W hen stern winter shall lay his SHOWS
Over the landscape, over the hill,
Her longing heart, grown calm and still,
Under the spotless drifts will lie;
Never again to breathe a sigh
For the days of summer and youth long past,
Nor grfeve for the skies now overcast.

Pine Cones for Fire Kindling.

Almost the universal article used
ON the Continent for kindling fires are
dry pine cones. A couple of these is
usually enough to start fire of dry
wood, and several of them contain
enough resinous material to start a
coal fire without other kindling.
They are readily ignited with a match,
and are free from dust and insects.
In Paris, and other large cities on the
Continent, scarcely any other than
pine cones are used for kindling pur-
poses in the hotels, and it is a wonder
to us that they have not been intro
duced for the same purposes here.
We believe large and profitable busi-
ness might be made from gathering
the cones in pine growing regions and
selling them in our Cities Scientific
American.

in the Christian religion is that it is
generally believed in by intelligent
men. If you do not believe in it, you
must give a reason why. You must
satisfy yourself pretty positively that
it is not true. You cannot satisfy
yourself that a part of it is not true.
If you have right moral nature, you
have already accepted as noble and we
hope have adopted as your own its
precepts for the conduct of your life.
All you can doubt is the less import
ant part, the history about Christ.
But have you got good reason for
disbelieving that? Try to think what
your reason is, whether it is enough
to make you reject the general agree
ment of intelligent and excellent men
all over the civilized world. That
common consent to a religion which
is so good, which teaches as no other
religion teaches, is an argument for
believing it that you cannot easily
meet.
Then for further reason read the
story again. 1t is true beyond ques-
ton that Jesus lived; that his disci-
pies lived; that they wrote the other
books in the Bible; that the story in
Acts is substantially true There is a
direct, unbroken chain of writers from
Matthew and Paul down through the
early ages of the Church, who have
brought us this story of Christ. They
believed it beyond question who walk
ed and talked with Jesus. What rea-
son IS there for disbelieving these wit
nesses that would not bear against the
historians of the War of the Rebel
lion? Read what they have to say.
We will trust you with the record.
Why should it be false?
That is all. That is enough. If
Christianity appear good to you, if you
like it after reading about it, we are
not concerned with any fear that you
will not see reasons i'll itself and in it's
record in your Testament to believe it.
There is considerable difference of
opinion still among the Democratic
newspapers as to what caused the de-
feat of their party at the last election.
The New York World, and other
Eastern papers, insist that it was the
rag-baby, other home organs claim
that it was the bloody shirt, while the
Cincinnati Enquirer is positive that
fiat money is the only thing that saw
ed the party from being swamped
more completely. 1t never seems to
strike the Democratic brethren that
the presence on their ticket of two or
three Union soldiers is what did the
business for them. We called atten-
tion to the fact before the election
that no Union soldier had ever been
elected to a State Office by the Democ-
racy since the war, and it seemed I'M
possible for them to succeed in elect
ing their ticket when it was weighted
with soldiers. This seems sad, but
unfortunately is the case, and the last
election was only another instance of
the danger of handicapping their tick
ct with candidates who had been 10y
al to their country during the rebel
lion Columbus Dispatch.

An attempt to establish civil service reform
In China has just been abolished BY imperial
edict The Governor Of one Of the Chinese
provinces conceived the idea of going back to
the old and purer system Of appointments
that prevailed In China In its golden days. and
announced that in future no government Of
fees would be sold to thehighest bidder, as Is
now the custom, but that all candidates
would be examined at regular competitive
examinations, and the office given to the ap-
plicant making the best record. The result
OF this rule was heavy decrease In the rev.
enue Of the province and the amount Of trib-
ute paid into the Imperial treasury at Pekin.
As soon as the Emperor found this out the
unlucky reformer was at once removed from
the governorship, and an edict issued order
Ing the other Governor to thoroughly carry
out the system OF selling out to the highest
bidder
