THE impression seems to be growing
that nothing will be done with the
tariff at tilis session of congress. 1t
strikes us that at tbs critical time this
omission would be 2 grave party blum
der, not to speak of TAG interests of the
country. The popular demand for a
reform in the civil service was not
louder than it is for . reduction in
the tariff The passage of tjase commits
sion bill with a few alterations as sug-
gestei BY Sherman and others, would
probabiy naset al depands as nearly
as legislation possibly could, anf the
consequent satisfaction would trQye a
barrier against Deaecratse clean
sweep in the matter later on, that
otherwise would not exist. Let the
Democratic party continue their mo-.
nopoly of the blnndering business.

Public sentiment seems very quiet
over the election of township officers

ever that some of these Offices, es-

for the Office of trustee In this township.

"GATH" publishes long interview
with Senator Plumb, in which the
Senator expresses very sound and
level-headed views on political events
and prospects. We object, however,
to the prominence he gives Robert
Lincoln as a presidential quantity
1t seems to us to he the merest piece of
sentiment to consider Lincoln as
possibility, for the present, at least, in
tiae presidential question. Surely ten
Thousand men in America may as well
be thought of in this connection as
Robert T. Lincoln.

IT is growing more evident every
day, that the death of Gambetta was a
great misfortune to the French Repub-
lie. Though holding no official posi-
ton he was undoubtedly the most in
fiuential man in France. He was the
cohesive force that held the Republic
together. France herself hardly real
lied this while he lived, but she knows
and feels it now. Hardly has the echo
of the clOds on his coffin died away
when signs of disruption appear Oh
every hand. Prince Napoleon thinks
he sees the gl:mmer of his rising star
through the wavering of the stricken
nation, and so issues his little mani
festo. The Orleans Princes too, begin
to suggest that 1t is about time for
Louis NIX to return to his own. And
these men do not stand alone either.
They are backed by powerful parties
which are very much in earnest. AL
ready the Orleanists are massing
forces, and at this distance it seems
scarcely possible to avert civil war;
and if civil war does come, the Repub-
lie will almost certainly go down.
Once before, similar crisis came upon
it and Leon Gambetta saved it. But
he is gone now and no one has
found his mantle. Poor old France
Hardly is she firmly on her feet after
her terrible tussle with the Germans,
when her own children threaten her
with another staggering blow. Surely
if she eventually comes out victor, she
will have well earned the motto of
Kansas.

THE Chicago convention that nomi-
mated Garfield and Arthur, besides
rehuking the bosses in divers ways,
virtually dealt the death blow to the
unjust and un-republiean unit rule.
The National Republican Committee,
at its recent meeting, completed the
good work by placing its official
condemnation upon the measure. One
by one the bulwarks Of bossism crum-
ble.

The Democratic Panty.


This is the only political party in
this country which has been pcrma-
ncnt, and the only one which has
been founded OH the true doctrines
and principles of our Government
1t was organized Immediately after
the Constitution of the United States
went into operation, and at the time
of the administration of Washington
The Federal party was organized
about the same time. Washington
aimed to rise above party, and was
not actually identified with either of
them. The Federal party broke up
and disbandcd in 1916. but its doc
trincs lived in the minds of n class of
politicians without political organi-r
zation. But the Democratic party
has remained and continued its or.
ganizatiOn, under all connections,
reverscs, and changes, OH tie same
original principles on which it was
founded. The platform Of the party,
promulgated every four years since
Jefferson's first election in 1900,
shows that the party stands now on
the same general principles on which
it was originally organized. 1t can
not be changed until the Government
is changed. 1t stands upon the true
political doctrine of the Government; :;
it is the party of the people, the party
of popular government. It is the
only party that has consistently and
steadfastty stood by, and maintained
our Government as Il Constitutional
Democratic representative Republic.
If the Republican party shall be
defeated in 1884 it will break up and
go to pieces, because it has no funda-
mental principles upon which the
Government was founded to hold it
together. But the Democratic party,
if defeated in 1884, will still continue
and cling to its principles as long as
there is possibility OF recovering
and maintaining popular government
in this country. The opposing par
ties to the Democratic party have
never been permanent, because not
held together by the true principle of
popular government, which is tho
Government Of the American people.
The Federal party lasted q little over
b"Ghly y OIdAo ttiltl LHNIl uISDlIGCu.--=
It's successor, the National Republic
can party, lasted few years. The
Whig party lasted some sixteen
years, and then broke up The Ma
tive American party and the Know
Nothing party were ephemeral and
humbug parties. The Abolition
party continued, until merged into
the present Republican party, and
until slavery was abolished. And
there is now nothing to keep the
present Republican party together
but the cohesive ties of power and
public plundcr.
The Democratic party, therefore, is
the only permanent party, because
the only party founded on the gen
uinc doctrines of our Government.

The Supper of ST. Gregory
BY j. c. WHITTIER.

A tale for Roman guides to tell
To careless, sight-worn travellers still,
Who pause besides the narrow cell
OF Gregory on the Cclian Hill.
One day before lie monks door came
Abcggar, stretching empty palms,
Painting and fast-siCk. in the name
OF the Most Holy asking alnns.
And the monk answered: San Ihavc
In this poor cell of mine give,
The silver cup my mother gave;
In ChriSt's name take thou it. aud live"
Years passed; and called at last to bear
The pastoral crook and keys of Rome,
The poor monk, in St. Peters chair,
Sat the crowned lord of ChristcGdon.
Prepare feast" St. Gregory cried,
''And let twelve beggars sit thercnt"
The beggars came. and one beside,
An unknown stranger, with them sat
81 asked thee not the Pontiff spake,
so stranger; but II need be thine,
I bid thee welcome for the sake
OF Him who is thy Lord AID mine"
a grave, calm face the stranger raised,
Like his who on Gennesarct trod,
Or His on whom the Chaldears gazed,
Whose form was as tic Son of God
''Know'st thou" he said. thy gift of old:'
And in the hand hc lifted up
The PoutiT mnrvelletl TO behold
Once more his mothers silver cup.
''Thy prayers and aims huvc risen. and bloom
Swectly among the flowers Of heaven.
am The Wonderful. through whom
Whate'cr thou askath shall be givcn'
He spake and vanished. Gregory fell
With his twelve guests in mute accord
Prone on their faces, knowing well
Their eyes of flesh had seen the lord.
The old-tiined legend is not vain;
Nor vain thy art, Vcronas Paul,
Telling it DER and DER again
On grey Vicenza's frescocd wall.
Still whatsoever pity shares
Its bread with sorrow, want and sin,
And love the beggar's feast prepares,
The uninvited Guest comes in.
Unhcard because our ears are dull,
Unseen, because our eyes are dim,
lie walks our earth, the Wondcrful,
And MI good deeds are done to him.
