An Intelligent Policy.

If the Democrats had carried out q
negative policy by electing a Speaker OF
the House of Representative who would
have done nothing during the session of
the Forty-eighth Congress, the Repub-
licans would have pointed to the Demo-
cratic party in 1884 as party of silence
and equivocation. And now that a
fearless man of honest convictions has
been chosen-a man who stands as the
exponent of an intelligent policy, the
Republicans are attempting to array the
minority of our party against the ma
jority, hoping to cause split in time
for the Presidential campaign.
But the Democratic party was never
more united than it is today, and all
insiduous attempts to cause disaffec-
ton will prove futile. The Republican
press, with few exceptions, is attack
ing the Carlisle policy; but so much the
better for the Democrats. Opposition
to rings and jobs, revenue reform and
honest administration of public affairs
will constitute the ground upon which
the Democrats will work and fight.
The Republican party would try to
make capital out of any course that the
opposing party might adopt. Whether
we remained in a negative, silent posi-
ton, or whether we chose an ag-
gressive policy, the Republicans
would attack US. But the truth re-
mains all the same that the Republican
party is party of corruption and sec
tional passion; that it connives at in
EQUITY and lets rascals 90 UNPUBLISHED;
that its favorite method is to carry
elections by Government machinery;
that its object is to centralize the Gov
eminent and thus suppress the voice of
freedom; that its sympathies are with
the monopolists as against the people.
1t does not surprise US, then, to see
these corrupt politicians frantically cry
ing out against the peoples party,
which represents the policy just the re-
verse of that of the corruption party.
Speaker Carlisle is an outspoken
statesman, and we have confidence in
his ability to preside over the House in
q manner that will reflect the greatest
credit upon the Democratic party.
Let the Republicans continue with
their ring-rule policy, and let the Demo
Gratis stand together in their opposition

An Advertising Dodge.

The latest advertising dodge is prac.
ticed by medicine company, which is
doing a big business in some of the vii.
lagos of New Jersey. Its travelling
capital consists of snowy wagon.
some make believe Indians, and lot
of kettles and other cooking apparatus.
An encampment is formed on a suburb
an lot, where the Indians give a sort Of
circus performance, with aboriginal
dances and unintelligible songs. Then,
in full view of the great crowd which
had gathered. they prepare the medi-
cine. A fire is built, over which is
hung a large kettle. Into the kettle
they throw herbs and roots. While
the fire burns and the kettle boils they
dance around it with ineantations, each
Indian taking his turn at violently stir
ring the contents of the kettle. All
this is to show the crowd that the med
icine is honestly made, and that it con-
tains no noxious ingredient. When
the mess is sufficiently stewed they
strain and bottle it, after which they
sell it to the happy bystanders at one
dollar bottle. AS the. principal cost
is the expense of keeping up the show
and travelling from place to place, the
profits are large. tits common thing
for the sales to amount to 800, or eve9
$3.50 on q fair evening.

COpernicus.

At Frauenburg, Copernicus may be
said to have first begun Systematically
to note and record the places Of the
heavenly bodies. He chose for his OBJ
servatory and abode a tower still
pointed out to visitors as the
''curia Copernicana. 1t formed
part of the Notifications by
which the ecclesiastical citadel of Erm-
land was Gas the event proved) not al
together Intellectually protected, and
overlooked a spacious horizon to the
north, south and west. The cathedral
of Frauenburg stood on a gentle emil
nence close to the Frische Half, an ex-
tensive sheet of nearly fresh water,
connected with the Baltic by single
narrow channel, and separated from it
by ridge of blown sand known as the
Nehrung. From species of terrace
adjacent to the Copernican tower, the
eve wandered undisturbed across the
blue expanse of this species of inland
sea 1927 square miles in area) to the
white dunes beyond, and, in clear
weather, even to the azure line of the
Baltic; while on the landward side
family undulating plain stretched south
as far as the eye could see, we'll wooded
and watered, rich with cOrnfields and
meadows, and enlivened by cheerful
homesteads; the view on the east side
alone being interrupted by the rusty
red brick gable of the pinnacled cathe-
dral. 1t was here that Copernicus set
up his triquetrum, an instrument
for taking sthe attitudes of the
stars, constructed by himself, ac-
cording to Ptolemaic precepts,
of three strips of deal marked in ink
with numerous divisions. Aided by
this rude implement. which afforded,
with the utmost care, degree of accu.
racy at least 2,400 times inferior to that
at the command of modern astronomers,
he effected the most complete and sur
prising scientific revolution known in
the history of human progress. 1t was
soon discovered, however, that he pos
sessed other gifts besides those neceS-
sary for star-gazing, and that his clear
judgment and strong sense could be
made eminently useful in practical az
fairs. Nor does he seem to have raised
any objection to the interruption of his
studies. Thus he undertook and full
filled, as Administrator of the distant
capitular domains of Allenstein and
Mehlsack, duties of the most heterogen-
Gus character. He was at once Bailiff,
Military Governor, Judge in civil and
criminal cases. of first instance and ap.
peal, Tax Collector, Vicar General.
Some records of his daily labors in the
allotment of lands have been preServee
and show the minuteness of the details
with which he was obliged to be con-
versant. The conditions of tenure il
Ermland were various and complicated.
The difficulties at the best of times at.
tending their regulation were increased
tenfold by the disturbed state of the
country.-Edinburgh RerieW.

The Real Scand
ger.

Women have always Is, the odium
and disgrace of being ,he Originators
and retailers of gossip, scandal and
SANDER. That they do not merit all
the odium can easily be proven by a
little observation. Women seldom, if
ever, originate scandal, or are the first
to start slanderous reports against the
fair name of man or woman. 1t is con-
ceded that women are purer minded
than men; this alone prevents their see
ing the impure motive which-men say
prompts so many actions of ones fell
low beings. As general thing, wO-
man gossips and talks about her neigh
boris bad temper, bad children, ex-
travagance, bad management, cook
ing, hired girls, taste, or lack OF it in
dress. and the thousand-and-one things
that may be said of one without injur-
ing ones reputation. But when you
come to scandal, to the SANDER that
blights a fair name; ruins the happi-
ness of families; breeds mistrust in the
hearts of friends: separates loved ones;
sends broken hearts to the grave, or to
an insane asylum; causes reckless. mis-
trusted people to throw conscience
thinking that having the name
one might as well enjoy the game-and
rush into ruin; driven to it by the vile
tongue of the slanderer-when you
hear this kind of gossip. rest assured
that it originated among men who
lounge on street corners. loaf on boxes
and benches around stores, haunt the
saloons and hotel offices, and spend
their spare time, of which they have a
goodly amount, smoking and chewing
and making remarks about every wo-
man who passes their lounging place

The Duty OF Democrats.

1t is one of the cherished traditions Of
Mr.. Tilden's friends that the Sage of
Greystone said on an occasion, There
will never be a Democratic victory until
there is Democratic party" If Mr..
word, and the choice of Mr.. Carlisle as
Speaker of the House ought to rejoice
the venerable philosophers heart.
The accession of Mr.. Carlisle will
make very great change in the politics
of the country. The political trimmers
who have so long ruled the Democratic
party, and dragged it from one defeat
to another, have at last been over
thrown. For the first time in many
years-no, for the second time-the
party stands for something of its own,
for reform of abuses, and for the rights
of the people against monopolists of all
kinds. We say for the second time, be-
cause in 1876 the Democrats stood also
for wholesome and necessary reforms.
and in that year, as almost everybody
now freely admits, they carried the
election.
The contest for the Speakership has
been carried on during the whole Of the
past summer and fall. Both parties
took part in it, for the Republicans
could not conceal their desire for Mr..
Randalrs success. They knew that SO
long as they could keep the Democrats
following in their own wake they were
safe, and that MIR. Randall, good man
in many respects, would yet be such q
drag on his party as would prevent il
ever shooting ahead to take that place
at the front which gives and means sue!
cess.
An opposition party can only succeed
by convincing the people that it intends
to reform abuses. 1t can not succeed
by taking up the abandoned policies Of
the party in power. 1t can not succeed
by weak promises to do nothing. The
Republicans have been in power nearly
quarter of century. Fresh, vigor-
Gus, honest, true to the people when
they came into power, they have be-
come in the course of their long, almost
undisputed tenure, the allies of monopo-
lists of all kinds; incapable of reform
ing the abuses which have in the course
of years gathered about the Govern
ment; intent for these many years only
on devices to maintain themselves id
power. There is scarcely one of the
few and very moderate reforms which
have been made in the last ten years
which was not imposed on the Repub-
icans by Democratic leaders in Con-
gress. The restoration of self govern
ment in the Southern States was grant
ed on the imperative demand of the peo-
pie in 1876. The Civil-Service Reform
was grudgingly voted on the pertinac-
ious and ceaseless agitation of Senator
Pendleton. The refunding at three per
cent. was the direct result of Democrats
ic demands and urgency in the House
The extremely moderate and Ineffective
decrease of taxation was the fruit o.
