The aearth of home is beamiug
With rays of rosy light;
Aud lovely eyes are cleaning,
As falls the shades of night;
And while thy steps are leaving
The circles pure and bright,
A tender voice half grieving
Saws, Don't stay late tonight"
The wclld in which thou movest

The world Of her thou lowest
Is at the ipgle side;
She waits for thy warm greeting:
Thy smile is her delight;
Her gentle voice entreating,

The love Of one poor woman

Thy children will cling round thee,
Let fate be dark Or bright;
At home no shaft will wound thee,
Then Don't stsy late tonight"

The Next Senate.

1t is pretty generally conceded that the
Lower House of the Forty eighth Con-
gress will be Democratic, and it has been
equally as generally conceded that the
next Senate will be Republican. Since
the Ohio election, however, this latter is
by no means an assured fact.
The election of Dolph as United States
Senator from Oregon is a clear loss to
the Democracy. He is not a stalwart,
and indeed it is claimed that his being
chosen over Nipple Mitchell and Ian
daulet Williams was decided defeat of
stalwartism. He is known as an OPP
ponent of the Central Pacific monopoly,
aud certainly to that extent is directly
antagonistic to Mitchell, who was, while
in the Senate from 1873 to 1879. re-
garded as a friend and tool Of that cor
poration. Still Dolph is Republican,
and will fill the seat now occupied by
Lafayette Grover, a Democrat, for six
years from the Sd of March next. The
next Senate will probably therefore
stand as follows:
Solid Democratic delegations will be
present from the twelve States of Ala
bama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Ken
lucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi,
Missouri, South Carolina, Texas and
West Virginia, and most probably Della
ware, North Carolina and Tennessee can
be counted on as safe to the Democracy.
These will give the Democrats thirty
Senators.
The twelve States of Connecticut,
Iowa, Maine, New York, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Vermont, Wisconsin,
Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota and Ne
braska will be represented by Republi-
cans, giving that party twenty-four Sena-
tors certain.
The States of California, Indiana,
Nevada, Ohio and Oregon will be divided,
each furnishing one Democratic and one
Republican Senator, and Virginia sends
two Readjuster Senators, who can be
confidently put down on the Republican
side.
We see then that, not counting the re-
suit of this years elections in the States
of Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire and New Jersey, the next
Senate will stand thirty-five Democrats
and thrty-six Republicans. Should
these five States each elect Republican
Senator, then the higher house Of the
Forty eighth Congress will stand thirty
five Democrats and forty-one Republi-
cans Should three of them, however,
elect Democrat it would make tie,
and should four of the five do so, the
Democrats would be in the majority. 1t
will thus be seen that, while the proba-
bilities are against them, the Democrats
still have fighting chance of controlling
both branches of the Federal Legislature
after the 4th of next March.

For clear distilled Democracy, the
following utterances of Hon. Perry Bel
mont are hard to beat. In accepting re-
nomination for Congress from the First
New York district, Mr.. Belmont said:
"a spirit of progress is demanded in
public affairs, a spirit which in our civil
service shall insist that fitness and strict
accountability shall be the tests and
standard of official life, and which, in
the administration of the government,
shall speedily and effectually check and
curb the now too lavish expenditures of
the Federal Government. The question
of the restoration of American commerce
and our now ruined merchant marine
should be no longer delayed nor trifled
with. Taxes must be reduced direct and
indirect, internal revenue and custom
house taxation, the latter especially, long
recognized as burdensOme and unequal
in its effects. There should be a read
justment of our system of levying du-
ties upon imports, a system now per-
verting our tariff legislation from public
to private uses. This reduction and
equalization of taxes should be gradual,
and no investments in business that were.
made in good faith on the solicitation or
encouragement of the government should
be unjustly or recklessly put ia
peril by the government. When
ever it is proposed in the future to give
a government bounty or subsidy to any
trading or transporting or agricultural or
manufacturing business or enterprise, let
it be proposed not secretly and indirect
ly as at present, but in the shape of
direct appropriation of money by Con-
gress, in order that the people may have
a fair opportunity to discuss it and deal
with the proposition on its merits, and
of judging of this mode of legislation.
After this Mr.. Blaine should rehabili-
tate his individual platform.

Judge Folger, in his letter to Hon. A.

ties of the country of over $40. 900, 900.
That shrinkage has been going on since. "
We have already remarked upon this
subject that Judge Folger was in error
in attributing the decline in stocks to the
Ohio election, since the decline really
occurred before that event. An exam
nation of the prices of the leading stocks
will show the incorrectness of Judge
Folger's statement. The Ohio election
occurred on the 10th of October. The
closing quotations of the active stocks
on the preceding Saturday October 2,
and those of the same stocks on October
10, the day on which Judge Folger's
letter was given to the press, were as

The DufV of Voters.

The following is the opening of one
of the very best speeches made in the
North during the recent campaign, and
we extract it because its unanswerable
truths should go straight home to the
heart of every Southern as well as every
Northern voter Mr.. NJ. D. Harter,
manufacturer of Mansfield, at Toledo,
Ohio, speaking for the "free trade" can
didate for Congress in that district, Hon.
Frank Hurd, who by the way was tri-
umphantly elected, said:
al consider myself fortunate in hav-
ing been asked to address you upon the
political questions now engaging the at.
tention of intelligent people everywhere.
These annual seasons of political activity
and inquiry are of great value to us,
and however tired we may be of listen
ing to almost endless speeches, however
wearied and Disguised with personal and
political discussion, the net result of
them is to the country unmixed good.
How many of us would give one day
out of the entire three hundred. and six
ty-five to an investigation of the
principles upon which our civil
fabric has been reared, or which
of US would give even an hour to
looking into the shortcoming of those IN
authority, if the annual elections did not
call us into a state of political activity
ard patriotic interest? These elections
are therefore the cause of two-fold good:
First, they educate; and second, they
hxy 10
say: Keep your hands off of politics,
and only a short time ago a most highly
esteemed friend said, 'None battle in
the muddy pool of politics without soil
ing themselves and these sentiments
are entertained and innocentlY uttered
by some most excellent people in our
midst, but they are nevertheless
injurious and dangerous, for even
under a despotic form of govern
ment political intelligence amongst the
people produces moderation, and places
wholesome restrictions upon that govern
ment, aud in government like ours,
which is of the people and for the
people, intelligence and active interest,
indeed, eternal vigilance, is the price of
good government and the bounden duty
of the citizen. The man, therefore, who
fails to do his duty actively in politics is
not a good citizen, and if friend to his
country at all, is either very ignorant
or lukewarm one. Suffrage is a great
duty as we'll as a great privilege, the bal
lot does as much in this country as the
bullet does in, some others, and the
man who casts it thoughtlessly
and aimlessly is little less crimi
nal than he who would come into
this company and fire his gun at ran
dom. Thore is no doubt that our form
of government is the best so long as it is
jealousy guarded at the ballot box, so
long as the voter feels his responsibility
as well as his power, but it is equally
true that it is one of the worst when
votes are directed by prejudice and
guided by ignorance. l plead, therefore,
for reason and judgment, not for preju-
dice; do not condemn until you have
heard, do not decide until you have both
weighed and measured. In nothing,
perhaps, is prejudice so powerful fac
tor as in politics, and nowhere should it
be so conspicuous for its absence"

The people of Prussia are exceedingly

Comparison is very frequently made
between wages in America and England,
and the fact that they are higher in the
former than the latter is adduced as an
argument in favor of protection and
against free trade. The fact that wages
in Germany, a highly protective country,
are lower than in England is wholly ig-
nored. So is another fact, quite as sig
nifcant, that the wages of English work
men in all skilled employments have in
creased at least twenty-five per cent. in
