Of this sort than mothers Of other national

could not marry them all, so she adroitly

Some time ago a patent medicine man
Of ST. Louis wrote confidential letter to
a young man in Little Rock, Arkansas, re-
qacsting him to send the names Of all the
very fat men Of Little Rock. The young
man with full appreciation Of happy
plan suddenly struck upon, sent tue names
u all lean men in town. The effect was
very decisive. A short time afterward, u
prominent lawyer, whose leanness has ever
been a subject Of remark, received letter,
which read
"Dear Sir-0ur American anti-iat rem
edy will white the stomach from you in
six days. Send US twenty-five cents
The next mail brought another letter
with the following contents:
aDear Sir-If you have decided to sur
render your obesity, send us 25 cents.
By this time the gentleman was warm.
He cursed all the patent medicine men IN
the world. Several days after this boy
came into the Office and handed the lawyer
letter. On the envelope was written
aOpened BY mistake Miss jackson" The
lawyer took the letter aud read
"Dear Sir-We are sorry that your alb
dominal protuberance is giving you so much
trouble. This is your own fault, for our
American auti-fat viii act like drawing
knife in whiting you down"
The lawyer sat for fifteen minutes in
deep meditation. He was disturbed BY
the entrance of lean minister, who drew
letter from his pocket and handing it tc
the lawyer, remarked 81 don't under
stand this. The letter read thus Dear
Sir-Don't feel that you are always to be
burthen to yourself We eau boil of
your stomach until you'll be as trim as .
racer Mr.. -, prominent lawyer ol
your city, who, as you know, is perfect
mouutaia Of flesh, is being treated by US
The lawyer didnt say word, but when
the minister had goue he addressed tn,
following letter to the St. Louis doctor;
'If you ever send nc another Que Of
your diabolical documents, III stick sil
shooter down your throat and FIRE every
shot into your Internal stomach. The

ns long rs nothing Is 70 bo had there. And
the reason why we cannot expect any business
from the south 10 great extent Is because
the wrong and ill-advised policy Of the demo-
cratic party Of the south docs not protect the
laborer in his rights; becausn, instead Of do
pending on itself, that same policy depends on
the assistance Of the state because it doters
immigration because IL advances taxation
through the misdeeds Of its corrupt rings and
because II leaves property without any pro-
lection. st. Louis is becoming moro demo-
cratic every year, and thus It does not draw
now vitality from without, but discharges
and drives OFF gradually that which 1t pos
sesses from within. 1n this the census gives
us a very good lesson. 1t proves conclusively
how well founded and absolutely correct our
admonitions and advice were at the time. The
census demonstrates that in the north, where
democracy does not predominate, the increase
in wealth and population is bordering on the
fabulous while in the south everything re-
mains stationary. How is Boston growing
how has Chicago overlapped us what pros
porous rise and development have taken place
in Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota

THE New York Times, in commenting
upon General ARTHUR's letter of ofacceptance,
is led to say:
The letter Of General ARTHUR is cacu.
lated to gain him the confidence of the con-
servative men Of tho country. The views
which he expresses may not be of great i'm
portance in the er oticio president of tho
senate but they are such as the American
people will be content tohave entertained and
applied by the possible president of the
United States.
We have heretofore called attention TO
the fact that, if elected, General ARTHUR
will be a most important factor in the re-
publican government. The next vice-pres-
ident of the United States will be more
potent for good or evil than any we have
had for forty years. In any event the
United States senate will be close body
politically, and in any event the republi-
cans will need every vote TO prevent bad
and to perfect good legislation. Previous
to the meeting of the Chicago convention
we said "The nominee should be stall
"wart republican with q pronounced and
unimpeachable party record, firm purpose,
"vigorous intellect and good physical
"health."
We are gratifed to know that all these
requirements have been met, and we can
congratulate the country that the republi-
cans will not be deceived politically in the
event of General ARTHUR's election, az
were the people of Pennsylvania who gave
the electoral vote of that state in 1914 to
the democratic candidates by narrow ma
iOrity of three thousand, upon the cry oil
POLK, DALLAS and the tariff Of 40, only 10
find their tariff democrat DALLAS giving
his casting vote for tariff which almost
destroyed the Industries of Pennsylvania.
General ARTHUR touches no point tim
idly. lie makes no pretenses of impair.
tiality. He takes up each subject with 9
clear purpose to be understood with no in
tent to catch votes, but TO inform voters O.
his exact position. 1t is this clear state
ment and exhibition of n firm spirit which
80 pleases the people with this letter Upor
the duty of the general government to pro
tect the "emancipated" slaves whose free
dom and enlranchisem ent increased thC
representation of the south in congress ant
in the electoral college, upon civil-serviot
reform, practical instead Of abstract ant
sentimental upon the finances aud tn,
character of our currency, and upon
judicious reform OF the tariif, his letter il
the best kind Of a platform for the party.
The beauty Of the letter and its strength
is that there is no doubt, no evasion, no at
tempt to beat about the bush in it from
beginning to end. We rest content tina

THE democratic organs are beginning to
squirm under the testimony of Mr.. DAvEN-
PORT. We do not wonder. The only hope
they have to carry New York is in the
fraudulently naturalized vote of the great
city. Without those $4,000 votes they
would never have had majority in the
empire state. They will not be allowed to
be cast this year, and hence these tears.
