GARFIEID's SPEECHES - The Demo.
cratic press, notably our neighhor, has
been much troubled about the quality Of
the speeches that Gen. GARFIELD made on
his recent trip to the New York. They
Ar, quite sure worse lot was never made,
and al the same time they growl because
they were teleeraphed all over the coun.
try. They sire sure they hsve caused the
Republicans the loss Of thousand votes,
vet they are disgrunted because they
have been published. This Is the first
time they nave shown any disposition to
regret the publication Of anything which
will iniure GARFIELD There is one wa

We learn with surprise and dismay that
Mr.. Bergh, the lifelong champion of the
animal world, has deserted his colors, and
literally abandoned the cats OF New York
to destruction. He is represented as de-
claring that there are too many cats in the
Empire city, and that they ought to be
thinned out. Nay, he has even proposed
methods for slaughtering them en- maSse,
AMI in short it is only too apparent that he
has been demoralized by these feline sere-
naders which produce such steady crops of
bootiacks and hair-braiders in the back
yards Of New York. Mr.. Bergh does not
appear to perceive, however, that in 60
"ing back on the cats, he is weakening
his authority terribly. In fact he is like

ideas surrender the doctrines of plenary

capable of withstanding the attacks OF the
wicked. He will find when it is too late
that in abandoning the midnight cats he
has undermined his whole system, and he
will no longer be regarded as the crazy but
consistent champion OF everything animate
save mankind.

THE oBEr1sK.

The Egyptian Obelisk has arrived at
New York, or as the Post of that city puts
it, "The silent guardian that for ages
"stood by the Temple of the Setting Sun
cat Heliopolis has followed that orb three
4" thousand miles across the western sea. !"
Now that the Obelisk has arrived safely,
the first fact that will strike all
who possess common sense will be its
utter incongruity with its surround
ings.. The idea of deporting these monu-
ments of our earliest civilization, and set
ting them up as decorations for modern
cities, is indeed thoroughly Gothic. Lon
don and New York have committed the
same folly, and both are equally to blame.
Egyptian obelisks have their habitat on
the border of the Nile, and they cannot be
transplanted without at once losing all
their native significance, and making their
new surroundings ridiculous. The only
consideration which suggests itself in
contemplating this vandalism is the
thought that ages hence, when the
transient works of this race of
aimsy builders have crumbled away, and
few brlck.grown mounds reach the sites
OF our most pretentious public edifces,
Macauley's New Zealander will appear on
the scene, and discerning this obelisk
(which is tolerably sure to outlast any
contemporary structures) will proceed to
erect an ingenious theory of the peopling
OF the American continent by the old in
habitants of the Nile Valley. Nor is it
improbable that the hypothesis so built
up would be at least as plausible, and per-
haps even as near the truth as a great
many theories which have engaged the at
tention of the learned in our own times,
and have formed the beliefs of thousands
of confding souls In truth there is dan
ger in bringing the enduring work Of the
Egyptians into competition with our frail
and ephemeral structures, and those who
have any regard for the future reputation
of the American nation ought to have pro-
tested against the measure while yet there
was time

THE REVENUE QUESTION.

A New York journal processes to think
that though platforms as rule mean little,
yet that the Democratic resolutions about
tariff for revenue only, do mean some
thing, inasmuch as the Democracy has
always been free trade party, and that
eff they should get in they would give
"effect, in more or less marked degree,
&c to this declaration" Our esteemed con-
temporary appears to have completely for.
gotten that the Democrats have now had
control of Congress for some time, and that
though they have had full opportunity to
show their faith by their works, they have
never done anything to prove their prefer
ence for the doctrine they profess. At the
last session they absolutely refused to
agree to tariff reform measure, and they
acted only as obstructionists when bills
looking to this end were introduced.
Why, then, should it be thought probable
that if they had full control of the
Government they would be more faithful
to their original principles than they now
are? The fact is that they have not for
the last twenty years shown any regard for
free trade, and we predict that during the
present campaign they will never so much
as suggest the thing, save where Protection
is already dead. No Democrat viii go
down into Pennsylvania and preach Free
Trade this fall, but every Democrat who
speaks there will interpret the plank in
the Cincinnati platform as meaning Protec-
ton, when rightly understood. The party
has no longer any convictions which it is
not perfectly willing to change tomorrow
should they appear to be unpalatable at
least while campaigns are pending.

shat some three to four farmers of

last fall and have not yet returned, leaving
their wives to manage the farms. This
spring these brave women put in the crops,
attended the stock, and now these women
may be seen driving their own teams into

of the number is a young wife, ambitious,
and possessing the pluck that would put in
the shade the efforts of many of our young
farmer friends, can be seen "slashing :"

The Cause Discovered.

Most of the readers whose eyes scan these

nausea or pains in the back; but we doubt
if they knew what the cause was. In nine
cases out of ten it was some trouble with the
kidneys or liver. This is a truth which has
lust become known, and the result which
Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure has
accomplished. The above. named troubles are
caused by disordered kidneys and liver and

continuance of lethargy in the wheat
traffic, receipts having fallen off to almost
nothing. In the wool market there is
nothing new to report. The receipts
rather lighter than the average last week.
