HE SEES THE POINT.


The editor OF the Philadelphia Rec
ord is unknown as Democrat, in q
political sense, but he evidently sees
that the drift of our boasted literary,
education is in the wrong direction
under Radical rule, and he, in a very
modest manner, SO expresses himself in
his issue of the 2lst ult., as follows
"At the beginning of the extra ses-
sion Of Congress it was extremely
doubtful whether the Democratic ma.
jority would succeed in making Of the
election question an issue on which
they could with grace take aI appeal
to the country. 1t is admitted that
the underlying motive Of its action has
been desire to raise up question on
which the party could unite to the ex-
clusion Of the financial question, on
which it is almost hopelessly divided.
Regarded as a question of policy, it is
apparent that, on the whole, the Re.
publicans havo made a mistake in not
allowing the majority in Congress to
have their own way concerning the
question of bayonets at the polls. 1t
is daily becoming more clear that the
action of the Republicans, and partic.
ularly the declarations OF the party's
leading men, have gone far to make of
the bayonet controversy a real and
tangible issue with which to enter the
contest of 1880. To illustrate, the
speech of Mr.. Blaine in tho Senate on
Monday, if it meant anything, must be
taken as indicating that the party is
to Justify and heartily approve of the
entire mass of war legislation, intend
ed only to be temporary, but which
still has place upon the statutes /;
also, that the Republican party is dis.
posed to demand further concentration
of pow er in the general Government.
Here Is, indeed, an issue which can be
made assume shape sufficiently well
defined for the understanding of the
people. On the points involved we be.
lieve the Democrats tobe right Blaine
and his co.workers, in seeking to re-.
vive the war passions in relation to the
question, are relying on a greater de-
gree of popular credulity than exists.
The people understand that there is a
States-rights theory which is worth
retaining if the form of government
devised by our fathers is to endure.

Beating the Boat.
iDHtrOit Free Press. |


The other day one Of the ferry boat
captains found aboard of his craft cada-
verous-looking chap who had beaten his
way to and fro so often that patience
was no longer virtue. When it was
found that he had no ticket the captain
r0ared ont;
"What did tell you the last time I
passed you over?n
-" You said you'd throw me into the
river next time | tried to beat my way
across" was the calm reply.
"And pow--!n yelled the captain, as
he started to pull Oft his c1at.
And now yoli won't. 4ou are a good
hearted man, and | don't want you to
get into trouble on my account. | will
SO overload on my own hook" .
He stepcd TO the gapgway and made a
dive before any one could prevent. The
boat was stopped, life -preservers thrown
out, and after hard work, the man was
hauled aboard. The captain seized him,
hraced him against the cabin, and shak-
exGt...imel:
" Look-a-here, you miserable, sinful
man, I've been put to ten dollars troub-
le trying to collect your fve-cent fare

street has given this weather question
a great deal of thought and yesterday he
began series OF experiments to ascer-
tain whether ina gination haSn t as much
to do with hot day us the thermometer.
At O'Clock in the morning he entered
his Office, built Il brisk fire i'll the stove,
closed the door, and sat down to his
newspaper having his chair close to the
stove, In q few minutes one OF his GUS
TONERS opened the door, and before he
could express his surprise the official
called out:
Come in! what a change in the
weather since last night! | hated to
build Il fire, but it was positively like
November i'll here. Come over by the
stove"
"IIas-has the weather changcd?" iIcsi-
tatingIy inquired the caller.
"Chnnged. Why there's a difference
of 81 since 10 o'clock last night. Hear
what the weather report says: "Norther-
ly winds, great change i'll temperature,
with Indication OF Il severe frost atnight.
| wish had brought down my spring
ovrrcout.'
"H ell, felt the change, but didn't
realize the full power OF it," said the
other, as he edged over to tn" stove and
rubbed his hands. "lou should watch
these, things and dress accordingly.
| wouldn't dare come out in that thin
coat. First, you know, you'll have a
chill"
I'll know I'm rather careless, but |
must look out for myself i'll future. This
fire feels rHrthcr good
eyes, tdoeS; you'd better get thor
ougly warmed up before you go out in
! the raw air
The caller remained there for at least
ten minutes, all the time standing be
side the hot stove, and yet when the
thermometer marked 100 degrees he
made no complaint, and went out saying
that he would go home and get on a
thicker coat.
IN exchange has divuIged the follow
ing secret, which we had hoped would be
kept that the printers might not be both
cred with cake, gold dollars and the like:
1--WE can always tell what sort OF Il Wo-
the printer. Il he gets Il common wife,
he forgcts the printer altoeather. If he
gets Il tu!crably good one he will senLin
Il marriage notice. II lie gets very
good one he will send the printer slice
OF cake accompanying the notice. And
il he @ctSa glorious, angelic creature, all
affection and goodness, he is sure to send
Il gold or silver dollar to the printer
AlOug with the notice of marriage. No
good wife will allow her husband to owe
for his paper, and if the "worSpr half
does not attend to these things It'll q clear
case Of deception, because Il man that
won't pay for his paper will certainly
