HubbeIl to the Front.

Hubbell, whose trademark is jaw,
and who is the assessor in ordinary to
the Republican party, is really a de-
lightfuI fellow. He has been so hard
worked in helping his party out of tight
especially Maine, and in preparing the
sinews of war for grand advance all
along the line, that he has only recently
had time to emerge from his imperson-
atty and give the country some strik-
ing illustrations of what naive, win
some, childlike and confidential fellow
he can be when he tries. We cannot
say we should care to have Mfr. Hubbell
member of the Democratic party. He
is almost too impulsive, but the way in
which he gallops around upsetting the
sober statues in the Republican party
is as good as a circus 10 the disinterest-
ed beholder.. Hubbell enters into the
spirit of an interview splendidly. He
keeps nothing back for conSc;ence's
sake, and very little even for decency's
sake. He will acknowledge all that is
charged against him, and then volun-
teer admissions which put the original
Indictment to the blush. OF course
the interviewer loves such mamie
can't help it. But Hubbell also writes
with the same tempestuous ardor with
which he talks. He has issued, in the
name OF the Congressional Committee
and the Republican party, campaign
textbook, which is really one of
the most finished compilations of
billingsgate ever given to the coun-
try, and will, we doubt not, supply
to the Republican party in its pres
ent condition. want long felt. We in
fer that Mr.. Hubbell does not entirely
approve of certain gentlemen within his
own party. For instance he refers to
George William Curtis as a .'bulldozer,'
''wilful libeller," 'ballot-box suffer-"
.'hypocrite,' .'friend of the Southern
oigarchy," "a Joseph Surface" "a
Bots Guilbert" and a ''Front de B9uf,"
denOunces all Civil service Reformers as
noodles" and ascribes the passage of
the act forbidding assessments to con-
spiracy of Confederate Brigadiers. As
this great politico-literary achievement
is called textbook and comes from the
Congressional Committee with its en-
dOrsement, as we have a right to sup
pose, we must infer that these senti-
ments. of which we have given few
specimens, are the particular teachings
which the Republican party wants dis
seminated just at this time. Happy is
this '.grand old party of moral ideas
in having such an active and enthusi-
astic agent as the untiring Hubbell to do
its will The Republican campaign
textbook will be a great work to put
into the hands of the young, especially
the young Republ can, and we may ex-
pect to see its moral effect soon visible
in the enriched vocabulary of the small
boy whose mind is peculiarly suscepti-
bic to the graphic ideas which the teach
ings of the campaign textbook, edited by
Hubbel, Endorsed by the Congressional
Committee and supported by the Repub.
lican party, suggests.-BoSton Post.

An Unknown Hero.

Deep down IN a mine in Wardley
Colliery, Newcastle, England, there is
a brave boy who deserves to be called a
hero. In situation of sudden peril he
used precautions which prevented a
dreadful explosion, simply by behaving
with courage and presence of mind
He noticed that his lamp fiared up,
sure sign of the presence of dangerous
gas. Had he hastily rushed away, his
light might have burst through the wire
gauze which surrounds miner lamp,
and setting fire to the gas, caused a
heart-rending accident
The lad did nothing so silly. When
questioned by the Superintendent as to
how he found out that there was gas in
the neighborhood where he was at
work, he replied: because my lamp
t1ared.'s
'.And what did you do then?' asked
the gentleman.
Il took my pricker and pulled down
the wick. but the lamp still flared.''
!" We'll, my boy, and how did you man
age then?"
"Why, put the lamp inside my jack
ct, and covered it up tight and the light
went OUT
OF course the lamp could not burn
without air.
To think of the right thing to do, and
then promptly to do it, boys, is what
makes the difference between common
man and hero.
This little fellow, whose name is not
mentioned Mick, or Ted, or Jack-has
in him the making OF a grand man, cool,
resolute and clever.
Fortunately there was an overseer
near him, who, when he heard from the
lad about his lamp, went bravely
through the gas, in total darkness, and
set open door, the closing of which
had forced the gas into the main-ways
of the mine.
All honor to them both. -Harper's

CafS Foster, with the instinct OF a
aemagOgue and the arts of practiced
mar, characterized what is now the DOM
tnant party of Ohio. The whole State
took hand in the rebuke-the farmers
as we'll as the Village and city people, and
they made a thorough bit of work of it.
The ''Do Sunday and free whisky"
idea injected into the canvass by Foster
was a close imitation OF the "no

Neighbors.

There are many kinds of neighbors
| There is the variety which we might
call the casual neighbor: it has nothing
special to do, and so is always dropping
in to see what you are doing; it does
not stay long enough to be consecutive
or interesting, and comes much too oft
Ell to be welcome; it breaks the thread
of the letter you are writing, and scat
fers the seed of the flower you are
planting Then there is the unav oida-
BILE kind it is continually coming with
invitations to dine, or to tea, or to
drive; it is angry if you do not accept
them, and deeply hurt if you do not
very shortly return them. Then there
is also the inevitable or relentless, whose
com ng is like Fate, foretold by note or
message. This variety usually lives at
some distance, and so comes early in
the day, puts up its horses, takes off its
hat, and settles down with a bit of
work, lest its thrifty fingers might be
idle. For this there is no remedy. You
may flee from the others sometimes to
the Businesses of the rocky caves,
whence no seeking servant can hunt
you forth; but here there is nothing to
do but give up your walk or drive. let
your paint dry upon the palette, know
ing that just that study of color would
have been the best of your lie, and sit
smiling, and be as pleasant as possible.
A real Utopia would be where the
neighbors were neither too near nor
too distant; their rules of life should be
broad and charitable; their hours should
be too precious to waste in futile going
and coming; and their hospitality and
comradeship should be unvarying and
true. l have known some whose COM
ing was festival. and their going was
grief.-Alsce G. Howe, IN Harper Mag

ut PaSseth all Anticipation.

The result in Ohio passeth all antici-
patton. 1t Is true that the Democrats
claimed the State. There were good
reasons ,>hy they should win it. The
leaders of our party were confident of
decided victory during the campaign.
and down to the hour ut which it closed
Governor Foster and the Republicans
were equally confident, and we awaited
the result. not without serious fear that
we might be disappointed in a State
which had so often disappointed us be-
fore. A victory for our cause and party
was hoped for, but we doubt if even our
sanguine friend John G. Thompson
himself believed that it was possible to
reverse the old Republican majorit;es
and carry Ohio by such an avalanche as
has undoubtedly placed that great cen
trail and controlling State safely and Sc
,curely in the column of Democratic
States for 1884, and for all the future.
The Germans of Ohio have redeemed
Ohio. They have deserted the Repub-
bean party. They have Joined the Dem
ocratic party. They have come to stay.
They have got home again. After twenty
years wandering after false gods and
under the lead of false prophets they
shave come back to the party which gave
them political freedom long years ago in
the United States, and which is alone
able and willing to give them personal
freedom. The old issues OF slavery and
e the war are dead and buried. The Ger
mans found the party to which they gave
power in the States and in the coun-
try. ready to strike down their personal
rights and social privileges. There was
only one power in the land that could
withstand the well-di ected assault.
That power was the Democratic party
which, Ike Providence, is always the
same. yesterday, to-day and forever"
The issue in Ohio was S iuare and open
one. The Republican party in that
&. State, as it had rightly thought itself in
Iowa and Kansas, thought it was strong
enough to strike for sumptuary and
Sunday laws, and in this way deal a
blow at the particular element of the
population of the State that would suf-
fer most from it. The issue was in
some measure disguised under spec Gus
pleas. but it was there all the same and
the German people saw and dealt with
it in their own way, as they will do in
other States. The Shermans. and the
Fosters, and the Butterworths. and the
HalsteadS IAN hang their broken harp on
the bending willows in Ohio And this
is the real meaning of the glorious tri-
umph in that State.-Omdha Herald.
