The Democratic party, by plank
in its platform, proposes to tear up
the tariff act, despoil thousands of
factories now built, in which is heard
the hum Of many wheels and wherein
hundreds of thousands of the work.
men Of the country obtain daily en-
ployment, and through which they
feed the hundreds Of thousands Of
mouths dependent upon the strong
arms of these sons of toll. Do the
American people wish to turn out
these hundreds of thousands of sons
of toll to again become tramps in dis
tant lands far from their present hap
py homes? We now have Republi-
can policy as the power that moves
this Government and makes all indus
trious citizens happy. 1t has led the
people to prosperity through protec-
tive tariff and a specie resumption.
Wages are good. Employment for
all. Business is lively. Investments
are safe, though at four per cent. The
public credit is the best since the for
nation of the Government. The ad-
ministration is pure and unsullied.
The banks and all moneyed interests
have the highest confidence in the
purpose and integrity Of the Govern
ment. All the nations Of the earth
behold these things and flock to our
shores by the hundreds of thousands.
All men know that the Republican
party, with its policies written in
letters Of light upon its broadcast
banners, intend and mean to continue
that prosperity that gladdens the
hearts of the rich and poor alike
Change all these, and who can foretell
the end?

As is well known to the American
people, Andy johnson, at the close of
the war, assumed to set up a lot of
bogus governments in the Southern
States-governments which refused
to repeal the ordinances Of secession,
and whose first acts were to pass black
codes that in effect re-established sla-
very in its most repulsive features.
The Congress elected in 1866 pro-
nounced these governments unauthor-
lied and illegal. It was these govern
ments which in 1857 General Han
cock recognized as the civil authori-
ties to whom the rights of loyal citi-
zens of the United States must be
subjected--it was these governments
that he promised to support by the
military under his command. It was.
so far as it went, as much an act OF
fragrant rebellion as it would have
been in General Scott if he had rec
ognized the rebel government OF
South Carolina after it passed the
Ordinance Of Secession, and had
threatened to use the troops under
his command to compel obedience tc
that government Columbus Sun

HAVE you ever known any person
to be seriously i'll without a weak
stomach or inactive liver or kidneys?
And when these organs are in good
condition do you not find their pos
SCISSOR enjoying good health? Parker's
Ginger Tonic always regulates these
important organs, and never fails to
make the blood rich and pure, and to
strengthen every part of the system.

My Little Boy that Died.

[By the author of 'tJohn Halifax, Gentleman.l
Look at his pretty face for just one minute!
His braided frock and dainty buttoned shoes
His frm-shut hand; the favorite plaything in it
Then tell me, mothers, vast not hard tOslose
And miss him from my side
My little boy that died?
How many another boy, as dear and charming,
His fathers hope, his mothers one delight
Slips through strange sickness, all fear disarmng,
And lives a long, long life in parents sight.
Mine was so short pride!
And then-my poor boy died.
see him rocking on his wooden charger;
i hear him pattering through the house all day;
watch his great blue eyes grow large and larger
Listening to stories whether grave or gay.
Told at the bright freside-
So dark now, since he died.
But yet often think my boy is living,
As living as my other children are.
When goodnight kisses I-all round am giving,
keep one for him, though he is far,
Can mere grave divide -
Me from him-though he died?
So. while come and plant it DER with daisies
(Nothing but childish daisies all year round)-
Continually Gods hand the curtain raises,
And can hear his merry voices sound,
And feel him at my side
My little boy that died.

the Little Big Horn, in 1876 in which Custer and
three hundred others lost their lives send You one

FRANK STEPHENSON.
MILES KEoGH's HORSE.
On the bluff of the Little Big Horn,
Custer and his three hundred
In death and silence lay.
Three hundred to three thousand.
They had bravely fought and bled;
For such is the will of Congress
When the white man meets the red
The white men ten millions
The Reds fifty thousand,
And warriors every one
So Custer and all his ightingmen
Lay under the evening skies,
Staring up at the tranquil heaven
With wide accusingeyes.
And of all that stood at noon-day,
Miles Keogh's horse at e7eninc
Was the only living thing. -.... .s
Alone from that field of slaughter,
Where lay the three hundred slain
The horse 'comanche'' wandered,
-r With keogh's blood on his name. -..s
And sturgfs issued this order,
Which future times shall read,
While the love and honor of comrades
Are the soul of the soldiers creed.
He said: Let the horse Comanche
Henceforth till he shall die,
Be kindly cherished and cared for
By the Seventh Cavalry.
He shall do no labor; he never shall know
The touch of spur or rein;
Nor sh all his back be crossed
By living rider again.
And aft repiDneDto1 forniation
Ofthe Seventh Cavalry,
Comanche draped in mourning and led,
BY a trooper of Company /,
Shall parade with the regiment! Thus it was
Commanded and thus done,
h By order of General Sturgfs signed
By Adjutant Darlington. Es
Even as the sabre of Caster,
In his disastrous fall,
Flashed out blaze that charmed the world
And glorifed his pail,
This order issued, amid the gloom,
That shrouds our army s name
When all foul beasts are free to rend
And tear its honest fame,
Shall prove to a callous people
That the of soldiers worth,
That the love of comrades. the honor of arms
Have not yet perished from earth.

cred with frescoe at cost of upwards
of five thousand dollars. The central
figure of the ceiling represents a
Knight Templar, life-size, on horse
back, at full-speed armed "cap-a-apie"
with lance in position. In the distance
is castle to which he seems hasten
ing. Grouped around it are innumer-
able Masonic emblems. Over the
east is bright canopy supported by
two columns guarded by two angels
with drawn swords, above whom are
the book of the laws, the chart, and
the Holy Bible. Suspended above the
canopy is the letter G, and extending
on either side the motto, ".SU luz ct
tuc ttit." On either side of the col
umns are vases of the most beautiful
flowers. The West represents the
Knights of the Red Cross in solemn
conclave assembled. In the South is
spread beautiful canopy, in the cen
tire of which is the Queen of Night in
full orbed glory, surrounded by the
star bespangled hosts, over which the
all-seeing eye looks down. On either
side of the canopy are the life-size
figures of the two Saints John-those
blessed patrons of Masonry. But

beautiful designs and elaborate work.

WE have a good joke on our friend
Capt. John Estelle. Every one who
knows Captain John, is aware of the
fact that he rarely ever gets his
fingers pinched by getting more evil
dence than he wants, and that he
invariably let's witness go before his
testimony can be turned to his disad-
vantage. On one occasion however,
Captain John got little more than
he bargained for. In the the trial of
Russell Hollis for counterfeiting, one
Finn, who was the maker Of the coin,
was the principal witness against
him, and Capt. John in endeavoring
to break down his evidence, led the
witness to speak at large of his own
previous life. His testimony con-
nected him with various counter
feiters, and when the memory of the
witness failed, Captain John refreshed
it by asking did you know such or
such an one, calling the name of some
counterfeiter, he had at some time or
other defended. Among others he
called the name of - "Did you
know him?n Straightway came the
answer, "Lord, yes, and by the way,
you look a good deal like him, and he
wasn't a good looking man either.
