Encourage children

Children are often injured and made
to suffer because they are afraid. They
are scolded or laughed at until they
think that fear Itself Is something de-
g aiing. Instead of learning to cult.
wave courage To Aeet every emergency,
thsy merely learn TO despise and dis
own tear. "You'r re afraid I" is cruel
taunt among children, carrying with II
the same sharp sting whether 1t refer,
to dangerous feat or disobedience to 8
parents command. Thus their mora
sense Is blunt d, and their ideas ofrigh1
and wrong are hopelessly confused.

elected seven members OF Congress,
each member receiving an average vote
Of 81, $50. The two Southern States, to-
gether cast 275, 900 votes and elected
fifteen mem ers Of Congress-, each re-
ceiving ON an average 1884 votes.
The two Northern States have cast L.
045, 1913 votes for twenty-eight members
of Congress, each receiving an average
vote of 37,343. Thus these two
Southern States only cast half the vote
for Congressman that were cast In
the two Northern States. In other
words, the political value Of . white
man In Ohio and New Jersey is less
than half the political value Of white
man in Mississippi and Alabama. This
Is the way Cleveland was elected, and
the people are expected to hail the
change as blessed revolution in the
interests Of the people.
Daily Republican., 1884-11-22

Democrats have come to tho rescue
of the scared manufacturers and labor
ers of the country and sre telling them
that there is no ground for alarm for
two years at least, because there Is .
Republican Senate that will not let
the Democratic party reduce the tariff
even II it wanted TO do 80. This
remark has become 10 common that
even Democratic laboring men who
voted straightout In favor Of free-trade
are heard To thank God there can be no
change for two years anyhow. It Ii
hard to tell whether the Democrats re-
joice more over the election Of Cleveland
than they do over the fact that there Is
a Republican Senate that will not let
them tear up the anufacturing indus
tries OF the nation.
II 1t were not for the wide spread
alarm, and the destruction Of our indus
tries thai would inevitably ensue We
could almost wish that there was no
Republican Senate to interfere with or
check the Democrats in their real pur-
poses. 1t seems almost misfortune to
the Democrats at least that having the
tatives they have not also the Senate,
that the country might have the full
benefit Of An ost and out Demon attic
administration. We almost wish this
because We believe that four years of
unrestricted Democratic rule would be
quite enough TO retire the Democracy
from power, and give way to another
long series of years of Republican rule.
We are not surprised that the Demo-
Gratis are glad that they have not got
the Senate too with all the other
spoils of the great victory. They
seem to realize that they would dash
the brains out Of their party upon the
rocks Of free-trade did Republican
Senate not stand as o barrier In the
way. The Democrats can 20 as far as
they please in an effort to cut down the
tariff, and II wide spread disaster to
business ensues 1t will be very con-
venient to blame the Republican Senate
for it. We think we can even now hear
their orators say to their hood winked
audiences, yes, we would have given
you free-trade with all its blessings and
benefits but you zee that the Republi-
can Senate stood in the way and woul d
not let us do it,
One thing is certain, there never was
a time in the history Of the country,
when so mu, h depended upon Republi-
can Senate, and there never was time
when Republican Senate was in 30
much favor with the Democrats.

In another column will be found q
communication, from leading busi-
ness man, in regard to the removal OF
the King street market. His view OF
the matter is a sensible one The re-.
moval Of the market would materially
affect the value of property, as 1t would
lessen the sales of goods in the various
stores located on this street. II that end IL
desirable the movement should succeed
If not desirable it should fail. The
value of property and the increase o.
business are important considerations
So long as the curbstone market in oul
lefty is tolerated it may as properly re
main on King street as to be trans
tered to any other.

This is bad time for labor unions to
insist upon retaining the highest cent
OF wages and to insist upon quitting
work if any hrm or company insists
on cutting down wages in keeping with
the business depression. If labor
unions insist upon this suicidal step
this will be the last of the unions. Ia
most enterprises vacancies are easily
hiled and the annoyance of strike Is
