Young Republicans.

Colonel John Hays address to the
Young Republicans of Cleveland is well
worth reading. Not that the ideas pre-
sented are novel, but that they are
clearly stated, His statement that the
young men Join the Republican party
will be recognized as a fact in all parts
of the North, and the reasons he assigns
for it have long been recognized. In
Detroit the accession of young voters to
the Republican ranks has been notably
large. To them is largely due the Re
publican victories in the last four cleo
tions, and the numbers who have thus
joined it will in very short time, be so
largely increased as to make the party
in this city entirely independent of the
saloon influences which have on more
than one occasion dominated its coun-
sells.
Referring to the work of the d" Young
Republican Club Colonel HAY very
forcibly observed: This club has an
important work to do not merely in
helping to elect Republican candidates
when they are nominated, but IN help
ing 80 nominate the right kind and
this last is among its most i'm
portant influences. If candidates
fOrlocal Office are not ''the right kind,
neither young Republicans nor old Re-
publicans do public service in helping
to elect them. Q lite the reverse is
true. If not Of the right fright kind, "
they ought to be beaten, no matter who
is elected. If the Democratic is the
worst Of the two, so much the worse
for them. But the Republican party
must keep its skirts clean, and the only
way to do 1t is to defeat its bad candi-
dates, and thus establish it in the minds
of all Office aspirants that unless their
record will endure scrutiny, nomina-
tions will do them no good. When this
is perfectly understood, only the right
kind'' will seek nominations. But in
the meantime the advice to all good cit
izens to lend helping hand in making
good and pure nominations should not
be lost
The Republican party has been the
advocate of all that is pure and patriot
ic, of all that is humane and ennobling;
fall that is excellent and honorable, and
now when it controls the Nation, and
commands the confidence of the people
and eXcites the admiration of states
men throughout the civilized world its
better members and its young men owe
it as a service to pOsterity to prevent it
from being injured by roughs and strik-
ers who would use its power to cover
their dement's. Detroit Post and T'rib-

All sorts of uncOnsidered trifes find
their way into postal pillar-boxes besides
the letters for the collection of which
these conveniences are specially erected.
One Of the receptacles in question was
chosen last spring in the Alsatian vii
lage of Schwarzbach by a swarm of
Wasps as the summer residence of that
formidable community. The wasps
built their nest inside the metal case In
such sort that their dOmicile in no way
inteffered with the depositing or removal
of Schwarzbach' daily correspondence.
They never once mOlested the local post

respectful forbearance. No complaint
reached him from the general public

How ChenpIy One Can Live.

Bread, after all, is the cheapest diet
one can live on, AID also the best. A
story is told that shows Just how cheap
a man can live when he gets "down to
mush, " tiguratively and literally speak
ing. Colonel FitzgibbOn was; many years
ago, colonial agent at London for the
Canadian Government, and was wholly
dependent on remittances from Canada
for his support. On one occasion these
remittances failed to arrive, and as there
was no cable in those days, he was COM
PEELED to write to his Canadian friends
to know the reason of the delay. Mean
while he had just one sovereign to live
upon. He found that he could live upon
siXpence per day, or about twelve and a
half cents of our mOney-four penny
worths of bread, one pennyworth of
milk, and one pennyworth of sugar He
made pudding of some of the bread and
sugar, which served for breakfast, din
ner and supper, the milk being reserved
for the last meal. When his remittances
arrived, about a month afterward, he
had five shillings remaining of his
sovereign, and he liked his frugal diet
so well that he kept it up for two years,
possibly longer. Twelve cents a-day is
certainly small amount to expend for
food; but a man in Minnesota, about
three years ago, worried through a
whole year on ten dollars He lived on
