Mr.. CHARLES T. STRATTAN, Republi-
can candidate for State Superintendent
of Public instruction in Illinois, q schol-
arly man, eminently qualified for the po-
sition, was beaten by his Democratic
competitor by over 1000 majority. Mr..
Strattan had been representative in the
Legislature, and had truly represented
the Republican sentiment of his district
by voting to submit a prohibition amend
ment. The Germans and all the liquor
interest resolved to punish him. AS is
usually the case in such contests, the
Prohibitionists co-operated with the
liquor interest. They nominated wo-
man as the Prohibition candidate, and
cast 9,46o votes for her. So Mr.. STRAIT
tan was punished exemplariIy, and the
Prohibition free liquor unholy alliance
had moral triumph.-[Cin. Gaz.

Morning.

Upon the sober realm of waning night
The white dawn family CLEANS above tht
trees,
And, slowly widening DER the mountain
height,
Dispels the darkness and its images.
The smooth rolled vapors, like siIken veil,
Unfold and vanish in the smiling air,
And ships of commerce spread their whfteneC
SSH
And catch the wind that waits the morning
prayer.
shore,
And flowers, yet fresh as morn that gave
them birth,
Uplift their heads, inviting God to pour
His light celestial DER the spacious earth.
Murmuring forests, erewhile wrapped in
gloom,
Now stand arrayed in green and golden b!ue,
Their boughs alive with birds of varied plume
Whose chirping voices wake the life anew.
Aye, gladstone morn is here The SUMS
warm rays
Awaken natures universal throne
Her woods, her wilds, her waters; the decsys
Oer which winters whitening winds have
blown.
The caves are ringing with the songs that
ride
Upon the morning, and the rocky glens
Are gathering mountain echoes as they glide
Along the bubbling stresmlets past their dens-
Joy trickles in the silver drops that fall
From off the sturdy boatman's dripping oar,
And every tear, that trickles salt with all,
Is flung afar on Times remotest shore.
The canker and the grief, that pail the hours
Of life, are laughed away in playful scorn;
The shady groves, the fountains, and the
flowers
Are smitten with the love of sacred morn.
Natures whole wealth in mornings splendor
lies,
And every voice of praise her powers employ
10 catch the harmony of the changing sFies,
Rhythmic with ethereal touch of Joy.
Far up the arches where the angels tread,
And out of spaces where the mornings born,
Are whisperings ever from the sainted dead,
Calling us homeward to eternal morn.

Democratic leaders. who ale hurryi ing
into print with their disclosures of thu
plans and purposes of their party are
firing little wild. Here come consid
cradle troupe of statesmen, each wifi
his own notion of the meaning of the
victory and his own idea of the proper
methods for making permanent results
Samuel j. Randall is of the opinion that
the thing to do is to cut down the APP
| propriations, exhibit the Democracy to
the country as the party of economy and
on that record go TO the people in 1884.
Here comes Mr.. WattersoI. to the front
with the only real true blue recipe for "a
Democratic victory in 1854, in the shape
of a straightforward and manly adop
tion of the free trade dogmaas the issue.
Behind him are Frank Hurd, of Ohio;
Carlisle, Beck and Black burn, of Ken,
tucky; Hewitt, Cox and Dorsheimer, of
New York, and stragglers from all the
States. What the party wants, accord
ing to the Watteison theory, is simply
the courage and its convictions. 1t
should set itself right before the people
upon this question at its first opportu-
nifty, and boldly go to the country as
the open advocate of free trade Other
Democratic leaders talk in vague way
about the necessity for the party's being
on Its good behavior, and doing nothing
to offend the public sentiment which
has lifted the party; into power. but
without going into specifications. Now
the Tribune is mnch more anxious for
good government than party success. In
this view it does not hesitate to point
out the Democratic opportunity, and its
belief the only opportunity the party has
to gain any permanent results from the
recent successes, let the party abolish
the system of assessing its own office
holders. Let it begin right here in the
city of New York. Then let it initiate
civil service reform by refusing to make
removals from office on partisan grounds

examination and upon the score of mer-
it, fitness and capacity. We honestly be-
lieve that if the Democratic party should
do this in good faith, in the present con-
ditlon of the public mind, it would re-
tain its vantage ground to such degree
that nothing could hinder its carrying
the country overwhelmingly in 1884. Of
this we are confident. But we are equally
confident of another thing, to-wit: That
the party has neither the honesty nor
the pluck to undertake it, New York

LUCY STONE is out with denuncia-
tion of Rip Van Winkle as presented by
Jefferson. "by his exquisite acting
she complains, "he wins his audience to
sympathy with drunken husband, who
spends his days and nights in a grog
shop, with boon companions, who roar
with laughter, while the neglected wife
tolls on alone with poverty and want,
until she becomes cross and sour from
the hardness of her lot. Mr.. Jefferson's
audience is made to hate the woman,
and pity and admire the man who has
broken his marriage VOWS, wronged his
wife, and embittered all her life. The
whole effect of the impersonation is i'm
moral and unwholesome."

The Story of Robin Adair,

A paper on Songs and Song
Writers" was read before the Long
Island Historical Society in Brooklyn
last night by Chief Justice Charles
2. DAILY. He said that none of the
great composers of music, Handel
excepted, had been a great song
writer, and Handel said he would
rather be the author of the sweet
Irish melody of 'Eileen Aroon,"
now known as "Robin Adair," than
all the other songs in the world.
The speaker told a story Of the
origin of "Robin Adair."
a young Irish physician of the
name or Robin Adair, walking to
London, stopped at an inn, where
there was a countess whose leg had
been broken by the Overturning of
stage coach. His proffered ser
vices were accepted, and he per-
formed his work so skilfully that
she insisted he should not leave her
| Ultimately she took him to London
an / introduced him to the best So
cial circles. He became enamored o.
an earl's daughter, and taught hel
to sing Eileen Aroon." Afterward!
he was parted from her by a crue
| fate. She connected his name will
the song, using it for the refrain
and at length the song as thu
changed was picked up and carried
lby celebrated tenor upon tn
English stage, where it met witt
the same instantaneous success a
| did "Home Sweet Home"
| Justice DAILY said that the song o
"Auld Land Syne" had its origin il
| a Catholic vesper hymn: tina
"Y ankee Doodle was originally
lsword dance,and that "John Ander
son My 10 John" and "Cruiskeel
| Lawn" were the same tune writer

was that of an older song thai

it is necessary to state that on the es-
tate in question, no artificial, or I'M

ever been used, in cane cultivation

The weather g. e, amount of rain)
in 1881 was good, and in 1882, very
good. In 1886 the estate commenced
to sell canes to the Central Factory,
which had recently been established
here, and since that time, large guam
titles of megass and ''ofTaI' have
been, in consequence, available for
manure, the results Of which are
apparently shown IN the returns of
the LIST ratoonS for 1882. The ten

ratooning as much as possible, but

Emmert Il Fiery's.
The very natural preference among
ladies for white costumes is greatly
stimulated this year by the endorsement
of leading fashion authorities, and they
are therefore now considered the most
popular thing for summer wear. Months
ago, putting this and that together, we
felt sure that such would be the case,
and while providing literally of all sea-
sonable dress goods, we have endeavor-
ed to excel in the production of White
goods and now offer one of the prettiest
and we believe the very largest col
lection of the season. A very sensible
fashion this. White goods renew their
youth constantly, coming out of the
laundry as fresh and beautiful as from
the hands of the costumer, and stand a
world of wear. Our collection embraces
Persian Lawns, figured Swiss, India
Lawns, Mulls, &C., and Plaid India
Lawns, the latest and most charming of
all white goods. Our lace and Swiss
Hamburg trimming have been selected
with great care and we know are espec-
tally cheap. Our assortment of white
and Black Spanish lace ties is beautiful
We would also call attention to our stock
of white and black Spanish laces which
we offer exceedingly low.-Remember
that Emmert G Fiery s is the white goods
