Why the Country has Prospered.

| WI lhE COuHtIy y Hub liUSpCICu'
On a recent occasion the New York
World described the growth and pros,
perity Of this country. 1t poisted out
that our tillabls farms had increased
from 407, ,20O,0 900 acres in 1860 to $780,
100000 in 1880, that the population had
increased nineteen milliens in the same
period of time, and that the revenues of
the government were keeping pace each
year with increasing production and
commerce. After contemplating the
| picture thus raised Of the national pros
perity, the World exclaimed: I'VE have
a great and growing country" Had
our Democratic eotenperary stopped
there all weuld have bssn well, but it
went on to say that this prosperous
condition has been attained, net because
of, but In spite of, Republican rule
Could anything be more prsposterous,
or more fully illustrate the partisan
malignity which governs this organ of
Democracy. A country only prospsrs
as its statesmen are wise aRd its govern
ment honest and economical. A corrupt
and iuprovident administration would
SO infiuepce affairs as to reduce coun-
try like ours to the wages OF bankrupt
cy, and SOW the seeds Of poverty and
ruin broadcast ansng the people. This
| ia ;~.t v,b, Z n a nnanaS pndor D.~.n,r,tic y
rule. That party handed the govern
ment over to Republican control with 4
depleted treasury and bankrupt credit.
More than this, it left the Republican
administrator heir to q gigantic war
without the means Of carrying it on.
The immense cost of suppressipg the re-
bellisn is an old story; suffice it to say
that nearly o.s-half of the immense
debt then incurred has been extinguished
through the wise management of sue
seeding Republican Administrations
The interest account has been CORE
spondingly decreased, the national credit
has been restorsd, while In the mean
time the onerous taxes made necessary
by Democratic conception. fraud, and
treason, have been removed, with the
exception of those Oh liquors and tobsc-
Co. The integrity and ability which ac-
complished all this, and even more, has
enabled the country to grow in wealth
and power. That our manufactures
flourish, that labor is constantly en-
poyed at remunerative wages, that the
farmers lind ready and compensating
markets for their crops, and that the
whole country enjoys u prosperity hith-
erto unknown, is due tO the sagacity, the
wisdom, and strict frsgality Of the Re
publican party. The guiding hand OF
Republican craftsmanship has led the
country upward and onward and made
l. what it is. The people owe Rspubli-
anism debt Of gratitude which they
will be slow to forget, and 1T is just this
which rufllss the temper and disturbs the
comfort of journals like the World
cleveland Leader.

HOadly q Free Trader.

Inasmueh AS the Democracy propose
to make their candidate their platform
to certain sxtent, it may be we'll to
find out what political theories and doc
trisns Judge Hoadlsy represents. We
have had good deal Of Information AS
to the real position Of that party on the
tariff question, and no two statements
exactly agree. But examining the re-
cord of their candidate we are able 10
obtain clean cut expression Of opinion
on the subject, which We assume will
become the party's positios in this CAN
paign. In the constitutional convention,
where, il ever, honest men were sup
posed to give expression to their real
sentiments, Judge Hoadly said:
believe In free trade in money and
in everything else, without let or him
drance OF any government, national,
state or municipal.
And again he said on the same subject

The Care OF the Horse.

l. Never allow any one to tickle your
horse in the stable. The animal only
fssls the tornsnt and does not under
stand the joke. Vicious habits are thu,
easily brought en-.
2. Never beat the horse whom Ia the
stable. Nothing SO soon makes him
persisteRtly vicious.
8. Let the horses litter be dry and
clean underneath, rs well as On top
Standing on hot, fernented manure
makes the hoofs soft, and brings on
laneness.
4. Change the litter partially in sOms
| paris and entirely In others, every msrn-
ing; and brush oct and clean ths stall
thoroughly.
5. TO procure good coat on yoar
horse, uss plrnty Of rubbing and brush
ing. Plenty Of "elbew grease" opens the
psres, softsns the skin, and promotes the
animals general health.
6. Never clean horse in the stable.
The dust fouls the crib, and makes him
lsathe his food.
] 7. Use the curry comb lightly. When
used roughly it is a source Of great pain,
s. Let the heels be we'll brushed out
every uight.
o. Whenever a horse is washed. never
leave him until be IL rubbed quite dry.
He will probably get chill if neglected.
| 10. When horse comes off Il journey,
the first thing is to walk him about till
he is cool, if he is brought in hot. This
prevents him taking cold.
IL. The next thing 10 to groom him
quite dry. with wisp Of straw, thsn
with brush. This removes dust, dirt
and sweat, and allows time for the stOm-
ach 10 recover itself, and the appetite to
return.
r. Also let the legs be we'll rubbed
by the hand. Nothing 50 soon removes
i strain. 1t also detects therhs or Splin-
ters, soothes the animal, and enables
him to feed comfortably.
| Is. Let the horse have some exercise
every day. Otherwise he will be liable
to fever or bad feet.
| IA. Let your horse stand loose, IL pos
sible, without being tied up to the man
ger. Pain and WEAKNESS from contin-
ued position, induce bad habits and
swollen feet and other disorders.
10. Look often ut the animals legs
and feet. Diseases or wounds in those
parts, if at all neglected, soon become
dangerous.
is. Every night look and see if there
is any stone between the hoof and shoe.
Standing on it all night the horse will
be lame next morning.
II. If the horse remains in the stable
his feet must be stopped" Heat and
dryness cause cracked hoofs and lame
ness.

sad picture Of Senator George II. Pen

The civil service act took sffaet on
Monday. The effect was bad Oh Demo
crass; and particularly so for the dis
tinguishsd Democrat who fathers the
bill. This is best seen in the New Yerk
Times list of possible candidates for the
Presidency. Each lone and solitary
crossroads candidate from Maine to
Mexico has had at least one friend to
suggest his name-all save one. Amer

In order to vary the exercises among the
school children in the primary rooms Of
our public school, the teachers have lately
been giving them object lessons, which
they appear to enjoy very much. One
feature in this sort Of instruction is TO
allow Q boy to select q subject to make
himself familiar with any way he can.
The subjects selected are, OF course, quite
varied. and sometimes unique, but the
theme is generally some wild animal or
bird, Of which a picture has been seen, or
which the pupil has heard something
curious about. As may we'll be imagined,
the youngsters, in their inquisitiveness,
accumulate q mass Of curious information,
Of which they are all eager to unburthen
themselves when school is called, or when
the hour comes around for object lessons.
The Juveniles are enthusiastic knowledge
hunters, and by inquiring among their
friends, they find out a good many things
that they could never get from books. At
any rate, they are eager in the work. and
u keeps up their interest in the regular
studies.

lot Of character costumes that are either
too much worn or have gone out Of date

In fantastic dress, and march about ar
rayed as the wild Indian, the Prince OF

snare drum, which Master Artie Phillips
beats with remarkable spirit and precision
for a chap only five or six years old. II
does the older folks good to see the urchins
