BRUCE said his little piece in the
House of Representatives last Saturday
night. He posed before his audience
and spoke the speech written for him at
Washington, to please the "white folks, +"
caring little for the darkey. His sug-
gestion that Hill would be more efficient
in scouting appropriations from the
federal government than an intelligent
white representative, is simply absurd.
The next House will be Democratic,
and one of Hills sort will have no in
fuence with it, even if iliiteracy was at
a par with the Republicans. But it is
only a proposition to the voters to sell
their principles for a mess of pottage ;
and that potsage Jim. Hill is notori-
Gus for his corrupt practices, as well as
ignorance, as shown by his ballot box
stufipg exploit, and his selling out the
Greenback party several wears ago.

WE note thai some Of The Republican
candidates for Congress ii Illinois are
taking strong ground in favor Of Con-
eressional interstate commerce as now
carried on by the railroads. In his
Freeport speech, Mr.. Robert E. Hit, of
the Fifth District, defined his position
on this question, and in very definite
manner. The following is report:
He said that the management of the rail-
roads is confined to 50 small number Of
persons or companies that danger is immi-
nent. The abuses that have prevailed
prove exclusively that measures of restraint
should be put in force. Competition fails
to restrain sufficiently. Commerce among
the several States can only be regulated by
Congress. The interstate railroads are far
the most important, and Congress should
at once take action to prevent the charging
of excessive rates and unjust discrimination,
and the fraudulent watering of stocks, and
should also make il incumbent upon the
companies to publish regular reports OF
their true condition, and should also pro-
vide for the constant right of inspection
and supervision of these companies.

TIE Chicago Journal, leading Re
publican journal, under the title Of
"Our Spilled Milk in Ohio" thus an.
nounces the extent of the Democratic
victory in that State:
Ohio has gone Democratic by from twenty
to twenty-five thousand majority. The re-
turns are not all complete, but it is cleaI
that there has been great landslide in one
of the pivotal States of the Union, and the
Republican party has been overwhelmed by
it. The disaster does not end with the loss
Of the State and the election of the minor
State officers, but the Democratic victory
has been rounded off and completed by a
gain of nine, and perhaps ten, Democratic
Congressman. 1t was a Waterloo, Sedan
and Bull Run rolled into one, for the Re.

Cured OF IntelnDerance.

Men are cured of intemperance Mt an
institution III New York known as the
Christian Home for Incorporate Men
by a peculiar method. 1t seems that
cures are effected by treating drunken
ness as sin, no Incorporate man being
received unless he expresses a desire to
become a Christian. None is received
for less than four weeks. and some stay
as long as three months. No liquor is
ever allowed for "tapering- off, as it is
called, and yet, C ntrary TO tho gener-

pounds. a stat.te absolutely compelling
division on pain Of the state stepping
in as heir, would palliate the evil, for
it takes two general ions to make fortunes
colossal and to place them in young
hands; and such statute would not be
wholly inconsistent with American SEN
timent. They do not actually legslate
against wills; but jnries very often upset
them upon grounds which are really
reasons Of pnblic sentiment. An easier
way would be to create n board of control
for gintic concerns, just as We did for
the East Indian Company, and have
done recently for the collective railway
interest but the Americans are ham
pered by their constitution. When evils
rise to 4 certain hight. the popular will
has nothing to act through. 1t is very
difficult for a single State to act, in the
face OF the clauses in the constitution
about breach of contract and special
taxes, and we are not certain of the
right Of the central Congress. Wedo not
ourselves see anything in the constitu-
ton Of the Union which should forbid
Congress to appropriate with compen-
sasion any property Whatever which it
is Of national importance that the ma
ton should possess; and the power Of
appropriation implies rights Of control
in the public interest.
Nor do we see, either, why Congress
should not lcgislate for all means OF
communication, as it does for the post
office, and, in fact, embrace MI within
the control of that establishment.
American lawyers, however, shook their
heals over emancipation 10y law, except

would be jealous, as usual; and hitherto

we conceive, be protected by legal diff

one Of them does something which
touches general feeling to the
quick and produces one of
those resolves to be done with
the evil which in America, Is in

fast, and the world will wonder what

Poetry and the Barbarian.

To her fell the care of the tea-table.
"Will you have a cup of tea ?" she
asked, with that far away look in her
eyes, expressive of anything rather than
the administration of course creature
comforts. The robust barbarian assented.
A cup of warm tea on q cold winters
afternoon was pleasant prospect.
Poetry led the way to the table. Look
and speaking to the youth in the corner,
she said:

AS she spoke radiant smile came over
her face-a smile that had been hired to
express spiritual illumination and the
consciousness of priesthood.
"Do you take sugar? 2" she asked
sweetly, in preparation for her hospi-
tally.
The robust barbarian answered: "No;
no sugar, thank you"
Poetry held the teapot in her hand,
poised in mid air-the tea unpoured.
'The grandsublimity of Dante marched
with the lovely tendness of Petrarca, "
she said again over her shoulder to the
youth in the corner.
"Do you take sugar ?" she then asked
the robust barbarian kindly.
ono; no sugar, thank you, this latter
answered.
Poetry poured out the tea. During
the process she said, with great sweet
ness and touching hospitality:
may give you sugar ?"
No; no sugar, thank you," was the
reply.
The tea poured out, Poetry took up
the milk jug.
"The many sidedness of Shakespeare
and the perfect form of Goethe" she
said again over her shoulder to the youth
in the corner.
To the robust barbarian, "Sugar?"
"No," said the robust barbarian,
quickly.
Poetry poured out the milk. Still
holding the cup she looked back to the
youth in the corner.
And add to this transcendent whole
the stately march of Spenser," she said.
''This is what the true poet should be-
and this is what you will some day be. "
On which she hastily shoveled in two
spoonfuls of crushed sugar and handed
the cup to the robust barbarian, with a
charming smile.
"You take sugar, I think ?" she said,
very sweetly. 81 hope I have made it
sweet enough. Home Journal.

THERE is a class of politicians in
Tennessee who, in discussing the
State debt question, continually pirate
about "the equities in the case"
This is all bosh, especially when con-
sidered from the Democratic stands
point. Democratic Governors, Dem
ocratic Legislatures, Democratic
committees and Democratic con-
ventions passed upon the question
for years, and resolved that the debt
was valid and binding-the whole of
it. Nothing was said about "equis
ties until Gov. Marks had secured
the adoption of his celebra-
ted straddling platform in
1878, upon which he was MONS
mated for Governor and elected.
There are no ''equities" in the case
according to their own showing. 1t
is mere sham and pretense. 1t
is urged by men who have not the
courage to openly espouse what they
secretly desire. 1t is a catch-word
| for towards and the shibboleth of
demagogues. II there are equities
let us have them and put an end to
this matter. If there are any bonds
out which are illegal or fraudulent,
we ought not to pay dollar of them,
much less 50-4. If any of these par
ties are honest they ought to point
out the equities and if they cannot
find them, let them shut up.

Valuable New Citizens.
N. Y. Tribune.

Over seventy thousand immigrants
arrived at this port during the month
of April, and nearly all of them were
sturdy, well-to do people, who,
almost from the moment they land,
begin to work, and thus augment
the productive capacity of the coun
try. About 40 per cent of all arri-
walls were Germans, and the charac

women among them are excellent

and the men are either skill.
ed mechanics or farmers
who have sufficient money with them
to take them West and purchase un-
occupied lands upon which to build
new homes. In a shipload of 672
Germans which arrived on Saturday,
each had good supply of house
hold furniture and money varying in
amount from $50 to $4,000 An-
other valuable class are the Scandi
navians, who, while bringing smaller
sums of money, are no less fitted for
useful and productive work. They
are a thrifty, rugged people who
make sober and valuable citizens.
There is perceptible increase in
the number of Hollanders arriving,
and work is always ready for them,
for they are always in demand. They
are temperate and honest, and as
farmers and dairymen command good
wages in the West. Many of them
are skilled mechanics, and for that
class of labor the demand is always
good. The English, Scotch and
Welsh, while not forming a very
large proportion of the arrivals, are
a most desirable class, and were
never of better character than they
are this year. The Irish share the
general improvement, and those
coming at present are much
superior to the arrivals of recent
years. The poorest class of all are
the Italians. A cargo of nearly l.
200 of them who came last week had
only $105 among them. Unlike the
rest of the immigrants, these settle
down almost entirely in New York
and devote themselves to street.

them scanty living. But while the
number of them coming has greatly
increased this year, they form only
a small portion of the great mass
from other countries, nearly all of
whom go West and pass quietly and
with almost inconceivable rapidity
into good citizens.

USEFUL HINTS,

KEEP the back, especially between
the shoulder blades, well covered also
the chest well protected.
ONE ounce of salicylic acid is sufficient
to preserve barrel of cider. that is, to
keep it from fermenting and becoming
sour.
A SMALL cup of warm milk containing
teaspoonful of lime water may be given
frequently in cases of "bowel COM
plant.
THERE is nothing better for infamed
eyes than to battle them with solution
of salt and water. Make the solution
weak at first, gradually increasing the
amount of salt.
To REMOVE acid stains from garments:
Chloroform will restore the color of
garments where the same has been de-
stroyed by acids. When the acid has
accidentally destroyed or changed the
color of the fabric, ammonia should be
applied to neutralize the acid.
To PREPARE food for mocking- birds,
mix together two parts corn meal, two
parts pea meal and one part moss meal;
add little melted lard, but not sufficient
10 make the mixture too greasy, and
sweeten with molAsses. Fry in frying
pan one-haif hour, stirring constantly
and taking care not to let it burn. This
makes it keep well. Put it in covered
jar. The moss meal is prepared by dry
ing and grinding the imported German
moss seed.
In Remnants process for rendering
cloth waterproof the fabric is passed
slowly by machinery through a tank
divided into three compartments, the
first containing warm solution of alum,
the second a warm solution of lead
acetate and the third pure water, which
is constantly renewed. The cloth on
passing from the latter is brushed and
beaten to remove the salt adhering to
the surface, and finally hot-pressed and
brushed. In this case lead sulphate is
deposited on the fibers.
