Out With the RaScaIS +!

There are thousands of honorable
Republicans in New York and other
States. They have no occasion to- feel
indignant at the cry now on every hon
est mans lips-.'Out with the rascals. -
The Republican party is not in power.
Not the Republican party as it existed
under Abraham Lincoln, struggling to
save the Union from the fury of sec
tional strife. Not the Republican party
inspired by the noble desire to give free
dom to the slave Not the Republican
party of high motives and strong integ-
rity. willing to make sacrifices for the
preservation of the Nation That truly
Republican party died with the much
abused Andrew Johnson's accidental
term of office. 1t elected Grant for his
first term, it is true. But it ceased to
exist before his second nomination.
In 1872 the Republicans were contin-
ued in office by Democratic blunder,
aided by the new power which had
been built up inside the Republican
party-the power of organized special
privileges and monopolized corpora
tons. The party of Lincoln had be-
come debauched by the prodigality of

ITO BE CONTINUED.
Not Rest, but Work.

! We have often wondered where and
how humanity got the idea that rest is
! happiness, for a greater fallacy GER
tainly never existed. Yet it seems that
! the one bright dream that cheers tho
| busy man through the years of struggle
and strife of early life is that by-and-by,
when he is old, he will give up work
entirely and rest. And the mother, as
she ministers to the ever-recurrinS
wants of her little family, revels in an
ticipation of the days to come when the
children will have been raised. and she
and her husband can enjoy again the
repose of earlier years.
| Time passes-yea, it seems to fly, and
at fifty-tive the man has succeeded be-
You'd his most sanguine expectations Of
! his youth; but does he settle up his
| business affairs and invest all his capt
| tai in Government bonds that he might
be rid of care, although his money
yields him low rate of interest? Not
one time in thousand, if he can see
| anything more remunerative to do with
| it. But if he decides in favor of the
care-free course, nine times out of ten
| he devOtes the remainder of his days to
regretting his folly in closing out a
business that had made him compare
lively happy in years past. and by this
act severing his connection with the
active, moving world about him.
And the house seemed never so big,
nor the mothers heart half so desolate,
as when she has said goodbye to the
baby and he goes out into the world to
battle with its trials. Then how the
years of his dependence. when he was
a constant care comes back to her, and
she contrasts the care-free WEAKNESS
that was then her daily portion, with
the anxiety that is now her constant
companion. and how gladly would she
leave the luxury and ease that sur
rounds her and return to the old DAYS
with all they held of work and worry.
But it is too late now. While all these
Joys of womanhood were hers, she al
lowed herself to be blinded by the daz-
zling picture of rest in the future, until
she could see no beauty in the busy pres
ent.
And were it not for this effect which
invariably results from our mistaken
idea of the delights of rest, we would
feel that our time was worse than lost
that is spent in referring to it. But ii
is mistake that may in great meas.
ure be avoided. Every one of us may
discover new beauties in our daily toll,
by steadfastly resisting the one tempta-
ton to long for rest as the one thing to
be desired. This world is working
world and man is working creature,
and the sooner we realize this truth tbs
better we fill the places for which the
Almighty has designed us.-Burlino.1o

Grantism. Whisky rings had grown
up and reached the White House. Cor
ruption had eaten into the Cabinet
The moneved power had felt its way
and. sure of its footing, stood up as
the lord and master of the Administra-
ton. The honorable Republicans were
pushed from their seats in the party
councils They dep,ored the degenera-
ton of the organization, but they could
not prevent it.
In 1876 they rebukcd it. The people
elected Mr.. Tilden President. The
oligarchy of privileged interests which
had seized on the old Republican party
prevented Mr.. Tilden's Inauguration
and stole the Presidency for Hayes.
But for that the oligarchy would long
since have been out of power 1t eX-
lists now only by virtue of that rob-
bery-a crime Abraham Lincoln would
have denounced had he been living.
In 1889 the ollgarchy, still usurping
the title of the Republican party, per-
petuated its power by shameless and
acknowledged bribery. 1t bought the
election with the money of corporate
,monopolies it had pampered, official
thieves it had fostered and protected,
ambitious mlllionaires to whom it
pledged Cabinet appointments or for
eign missions, and Federal office-holders
whom it blackmailed.
. 1t is this oligarchy to which the peo-
pie allude when they cry, "Out with
the rascals.' 1t is no more the Repub-
lican party of 1860 than James A. Gar
field was Abraham Lincoln, or than Tom
Brady is William Dennison. 1t is a
party ruled by office-holders, jobbers,
monopolies. privilegists and corruption
lists. 1t is the party which abuses pat
ronage, plumbers the Government and
corrupts the ballot-box. 1t is party
which rules now only through stealing
the Presidency in 1876 and purchasing
it in 1880. 1t has no honest title to
power, and every honorable Republican
ought to join the Democrats in the cry:
There must and shall be q changer
