"Be short, were the words which
that eminent man, Dr.. Cotton Mather,
had inscribed over the door of his
study as a friendly admonition to
callers. But the motto there placed
deserves to be remembered by ALL
The public generally demand short
sermons, short prayers, short essays,
short speeches, short editorials, short
calls. Those lessons, moral and in
tellectual, which are full of conden-
sation are the ones producing the
best results, and are best remembered.
Many good truths have been hope
lessly buried in words.

It is his very greatness which makes

There is one thing Americans
must learn, and that is ecouomy.-
We are nation of spendthrifts.-
We spend all we make, and in many
instances buy more than we can pay
for out of our own honestly earned
money. There are thousands of
men who work in our manufactures
who have nothing left at the end Of
the week but an empty purse
Money is spent for drink, for amuse-
ments, and extravagancies of vari-
GUS kinds, and not a cent saved
They put too literal construction
upon the words, "Take no thought
for the morrow" It is high time we
were studying economy and practic-
ing it; for unless we do we may look
for increased poverty and more un-
fortunate failures.-Christian World.

Expecting Too Much of Blaine.

A leading Republican paper which |
prefers to waive a consideration of
Blaine's public record, says it will
give him its support because ''the
energy of his administration would
aid to lift the business interests of
the country from their present slough
of stagnation."
This is expecting a great deal OF
Blaine's energy, but it is not saying
much for the past management of
Republican administrations. There
has been no other power regulating
the affairs of the country for nearly
quarter of century and yet the bus
mess interests are in such bad con-
dition that something phenomenal is
required to lift them from the slough
of stagnation.
But IS it to be expected that Blaine
in the Presidential Office would change
the policy of his party? That the
business interests are at SO low an
ebb can be accounted for in no other
way than that the party in power has
pursued course injurious to them.
Would Blaine administration adopt
different course? We find no as
surance of this in the platform upon
which he was nominated. 1t sustains
tariff system which restricts our
commercial intercourse and encour-
ages monopoly, It recommends no
reduction of the oppressive taxes con-
tinued since the war. It offers no
measure of revenue reform that would
reduce an enormous treasury surplus
wrung from the hard earnings of the
people. These are the causes which
have led to the depression of bust
ness. What does the platform pro-
pose for their removal?
As there is nothing in the platform
to direct a departure from the Repub-
lican policy which is responsible for
the present slough of stagnation, is
there anything in Blaine's public
course in the past to encourage the
hope that he would depart from the
line Of policy laid down in the plat
form? There is no act of his that can
be pointed to as unfavorable to the
most illiberal and restrictive measure
of high tariff system. His voice
was never heard demanding the re-
duction of the war taxes. There was
never proposition to favor special
interests that met with his disap-
proval. That he is no enemy to mo-
nopoly and favored corporations is
proved by his connection with various
shemes that enabled him to amass a
princely fortune His inclination to
advance corporate interests was evinc-
ed by his corrupt connivance, while
Speaker of the House at Washington,
at the schemes which gave the public
lands to railroad companies. That he
discountenances the reduction of the
treasury surplus is plainly shown by
his approval of it's general distribu-
| ton.
There was no measure of Republi-
can policy injurious to the general
interests Of the people, beneficial to
favored classes and profitable to him
self, that did not have Blaine's sup
| port, and how an administration of
which politician with such antece-
dents would be the head could lift
the business interests of the country
from the slough of depression, is a
| question which those who are willing
to support him must address them
selves to the task of answering to the
public satisfaction.
