The Tariff Dem monstration.

The immense gathering of working
men at Beaver recently was a dem
onstration more significant than any
political demonstration. Ignoring all
party lines, the iron and steel workers
of large section of country assembled
of their own accord to pass day to-
gether, bringing,with them their wives
and children. They met to congratulate
and rejoice with each other on the
escape of the branch of American in
dustry by which they live, from the leg
islation of Congress, which threatened
that industry with ruin. In accord with
this part of their purpose, a part of the
day was given to manly sports and merry
making But the mere serious part of
the programme looked to the continu-
ance in the future of the danger from
which they have had what might prove
but temporary respite, and to this the
earnest attention of the multitude was
very properly given.
Assembled around eloquent speakers
invited to address them because of their
known sentiments on the tariff question
these workmen, speaking for their fel-
lows in all the land, announced in most
emphatic terms their demand that the
lawmakers of America shall respect
and preserve their industrial independ-
ence-shall give them "entire, complete
and perpetual emancipation from the
dominion of British capital"
They have weighed in the balance OF
practical experience the theories of the
free trades, and they can sum up those
doctrines and their answer in crisp and
decisive language, which is more telling
than volumes from the school men
You tell us, say they, that free trade
will cheaper all that we need to buy
But we know that protection gives us
tie means to buy-not only the absolute
i:-ressaries which will keep us and ouI
from starving, but some little comforts
in addition, while free trade leaves us
peuniless and unable to buy even the
cheapest food ard clothing. In this they
speak for The whole class of laboring
men in America, and as they speak ir-
respective of political affiliation, their
voice should be needed by statesmen of
all parties. "They know whereof they
affirm" 1t has been learned in the hard
and bitter school of experience. 1t is
not theory or sentiment, but the ex-
preston of an abiding principal rooted
in them by the practical teaching of
their lives Cleveland Herald.

Food for the Season.

Dr. Hunt, the editor of the Newark
(N. j. Advertiser, wholly regardless of
the loss to his fellow-practitioners by "a
fearful state of healthfulness" in that
vicinity; and honest as he is skilful in his
honored, professional work, thus advises
for the season:
Fruits and vegetables, with a abund-
ance of good milk and bread, should be
the main substantials and not the mere
side dishes of the table. There are too
many who simply add what the Summer
brings to their usual bill of fare. They
still indulge in heavy meats and stimu-
lating condiments, adding some badly
cooked vegetables. and finishing with
the usual flatulent pastry, or perhaps a
few berries ;but this is an injustice both
to the system and to the providence
whose blessings are showered upon us
in such prodigal profusion.
Meat should now become the side dish
gravies, stews and condiments should be
utterly abandoned; and the system
should be toned and purified by the ton.

ter than medicine, and the entire dis.

Discomfort.
BY SARAH o. JEWETT.

Down in field one day in June
The flowers all bloomed together
Save one, who tried to hide herself
And drooped that pleasant weather.
A robin who had flown too high,
And felt little lazy,
Was resting near this butter cup
Who wished she was daisy.
For daisies grow so trig and tall;
She always had a passion
For wearing frills around her neck
In just the daisies fashion.
And buttercups must always be
The same old tiresome color,
While daisies dress in gold and white,
Although their gold is duller.
Dear robin" said this sad young flower,
perhaps you'd not mind trying
To find nice white frill for me
Some day when you are flying"
"You silly thingp' the robin said,
81 think you must be crazy;
I'd rather be my honest self
Than any made up daisy.
You're nicer in your own bright gown !;
The little children love you;
Be the best buttercup you can,
And think no flower above you.
Though swallows leave me out of sight,
We'd better keep our places;
Perhaps the world would all go wrong
With one too man daisies.
Look up bravely into the sky,
And be content with knowing
That God wished for a buttercup
Just here, where you are growing"

About the Republican Nominee
for Vice President.

NEW YORK. June Seen. Cheseer A.
Arthur is the son of a Presbyterian cler-
gyman, and was born in Albany county,
New York, about fifty years ago. He
graduated at Union College, and entered
upon manhood as lawyer in New York
City. He gained almost immediate
prominence and reputation among abo-
litionists through the famous Lennon
case of 1852, upon which the question
whether slave remained in bondage
when on free soil was finally disposed
of. Lennon, a Virginia STAKEHOLDER,
brought eight slaves to New York. a
colored New Yorker brought the ques-
ton of their liberty into the courts. +.
d. Culver, with whom youny Arthur
was associated, appeared for the slaves,
and Henry L. Clinton and others against
them. The Supreme Court declared
them free. The decision provoked ma
tional excitement. The Governor Of
Georgia declared it ''just cause for war"
The Virginia Legislature resolved to ap-
peal the case. The general term upheld
the first decision. Chester A. Arthur
and VIM. NJ Evarts argued for the
slaves before the Court of Appeals and
won final victory.
Gen. Arthur became an active politi-
clan. He was a delegate to the first Re
publican Convention in the State of
New York. When the war broke out
he became Engineer-in-Chief on Gov.
Morgan's staff, and soon after was made
Quartermaster General of the State of
New York. He assumed individual re-
sponsibility in preparing harbor defens-
es for New York City, and was active
in preventing the indiscriminate forma-
tion of volunteer regiments by irrespOn-
sible men. He was conopicuous in the
of 1864 in preventing the
of Dickinson and in securing
the nomination of Andrew johnson. He
was appointed Collector of New York
by Grant and removed by Hayes. He
is now Chairman of the Republican
State COMMITTEES.

SURE TO BE ELLECTFD.

The nomination of Gen. Garfield is
strong on other than personal grounds.
He is popular in in manner and bearing.
He is without personal enemies among
the influential men of the party. He
will carry the State of Ohio in the Octo-
Der election by majority that will ex-
ercise no slight effect upon the pros,
poets of the November contest. Mani
festly the argument of availability was
with his supporters at Chicago. The
name of the man of whom these things
may be said, without exaggeration, the
Post and Tribune places at the head of
it's columns with unaffected pleasure
1t can unreservedly commend him to the
enthusiastic support of its readers. 1t
does not doubt that the Republicans and
the Independent vote of the country
will unite to applaud his nomination,
that his election will surely follow, and
that his administration will be hOnOra-
Bile, enlightened an just.-Detroit Post

A FIGHTING EDITORS WORK.


A Western editor, whose style of
writing was calculated to arouse peo-
pie to deeds of gore, being himself not
much on his muscle, found it necessary
to keep fighting editor, and he had
speaking tube connected with the heel
er's room to call him when danger re-
quired. One day gentleman whom
the editor had referred to as "cross
eyed dromedary" came in to request
a correction, and as the fighting edi-
tor was out ne didn't respond to the
signal of distress, and while the editor
and his visitor were on the floor under
the desk the former agreed to correct
the mistake, and the irate man left
Pretty soon a gentleman from the rural
districts came in to give the editor a
big squash, and get notice, and about
that time the fighting editor returned,
and the boy in the room told him that
the boss wanted help. The man of wsr
was quick to respond, and dashing in
the chiefs room, and seeing the latter
in a somewhat disordered condition,
the result of his previous visit. he
thought the countryman was the cause
of it and clutched him, and after stav-
ing up some furniture ran the victim
across the street to where an empty
hearse was standing in front of an un-
dertaker's shop. Into the vehicle he
jammed the farmer, and shut the door.
The commotion he had created scar
ed the horses attached to the
hearse, and they started of on
dead run. People soon noticed
the runaway and ran after it, and were
shocked at beholding the hearse collide
with post and become complete
wreck; and their horror at seeing hu-
man body precipitated to the sidewalk
was only equaled by their amazement
at seeing it spring nimbly to its feet
ard take off across the country yelling
murder. They thought it was an at
tempt to bury a man alive, and part
of them went and got the undertaken
to lynch him, while the rest pursued
the farmer who was found hiding in
swamp. And after he was brought in,
it took over three hours to get matters
explained, and theu the farmer went
before Justice of the Peace and made
affadavit that he hoped to be struck by
lightning il he ever entered a newspa-
per Office again.
