1t is no use for the independent Republ-
cans to decry Blaine as an unnatural and i'm
proper candidate for the Republican party.
The truth is that more fitting and appro-
pirate selection could not have been made.
and ifthe Independents are not sustaining
him enthusiastically, il is only because
they have awakened to the fact that he is
truly representative candidate.
They see at last where practical politics has
brought them, and how they have gravitated
naturally to Blaine. There was no other choice
open. The moment that Arthur became his
competitor, Blaine's success was inevitable
from the very nature of things; and now
that his party has got him, the great bulk of
1t IS perfectly content. Why should it not
be?
Has it not debauched the whole public ser.
vice OF the country, prostituted the processes
OF the government to the uses of plumber
honeycombed every department of the Ad-
minlstration with fraud, and boldly commit
ted the greatest of all possible crimes against
a sovereign people? .t.
How could such party be rightly repre-
scented or its principles duly illustrated except
by such man ms James G. Blaine, the matur-
ed road agent of the highway of State, proud
In the IMMUNITY with which he has carried off
his booty or all the men before the Republi-
van convention ne was the most available,
because he furnished in his career and in his
ambition the completest embodiment of the
hopes and principles of his party. Now
that he stands before them flushed with the
assurance OF success, a brilliant, reckless, and
vulgar adyenturer, the trusted associate,
friend and counsellor of the Star route
thieves, the first choice of every gambler in
wan street, the Hover and the hope of
every evil element that threatens the welfare
and perpetuity of the government-what
wonder is it that they admire and follow him
He is the man of their choice!
There is no sort of comfort for sincerely
disatfected Republicans but in voting the
straight Democratic ticket. 1t will take
twenty or more years of purgation in the
outer darkness before their party will again
be fit for even the purposes of an ordinary
opposition.

Red Pepper for Stock.

1t docs not appear to be generally known
among farmers what an excellent tonic and
appetizer red pepper is. 1t is good forman,
beast, or bird. Its good effects when given
to poultry at this season is known to many
housewives, and some farmers know of its
value when mixed with the slops and fed to
hogs. But how many farmers ever give red
pepper to cattle, horses and sheep And yet
it is about as useful to them as to any other
animal. 1t possesses n highly stimulating
and invigorating property, gives the system
tone and strength, renews the appetite, and
enables weakly animals to move and feed with
avidity. For sickly stock there is, perhaps,
no better medicine. 1t may be given in bran,
corn meal, or slops at the rate of a teaspoon
full a day of the ground article to a single
sheep or cow or one fourth as much to fowl.
But it is sufficient in most cases to make of
the whole pods strong tea, and mix it in
the feed, or boil it in the slop for the hogs
Every family should use it largely, for it is as
good for mankind as for animals Instead
of the black pepper, the homegrown red pep
per should takes its place, and some of
ought to be on the table at every MONDAY
meal. Every family should raise it for domes.
tic use. Its value as preventive of diseases
is beyond estimation. For song-birds that
are dull and dropping, a little of it will be
found highly beneficial. Let every farmer
grow red pepper, and make liberal use off
among his stock.-Petersbaay Eder Appeal.

THE SKEIN WE WIND.

THESKEIN WE WIND.
BY GEORGE KLINGLE.
If you and |, to-day,
Should stop and lay
Our life work down, and let our hands fall where
they will
Fall down to lie quite still
And if some other hand should come and stoop to
The threads we carried so that 1t could wind,
Beginning where we stopped If 1t should come
to keep, ...t .....
Our life work going, seek
To carry on the good design "'
Distinctly made yours, or mine,
What would 1t find?
Some work we must be doing, true or false;
Some threads we wind some purpose 80 exalts
Itself that we look up to, or down, .. 3
As to q crown
To bow before, and we weave threads
Ofditferent lengths and thickness-some mere
shreds-
And wind them around
Till all the skein of life is bound,
Sometimes forgetting at the task
To ask
The value of the threads, or choose
Strong stuff to use.
No hand but winds some thread;
1t cannot stand quite still, till it is dead,
But what 1t spins and winds little skein.
God made each hand for work--not toll stain
Is required, but every hand
Spin, though but ropes of sand.
IL Love should come,
STOPPING above when we are done,
To find bright threads
That we have held, that IL may spin them long
er-.find but shreds, ...
That break when touched, how cold,
Sad, shivering, portionless, the hands will hold
The broken strands, and know
Fresh cause for woe.

lie Impending Revolution.

Let none misunderstood the issues of the
great conflict that is upon us. 1t involves a
sweeping political revolution-not merely
the transfer of power from one political party
to another, but the revolutionary overthrow
of the worst methods and purposes of both
parties and the triumph of the best inspira-
ton of every political faith. 1t is not simply
whether there shall be Republican or a
Democratic President, nor is it struggle to
make James G. Blaine or Grover Cleveland
the chief magistrate the republic A revo-
luton has dawned upon both parties and it
has been born of supreme necessity. Its
seeds have been lavishly strewn by the Re
publican abuses and Democratic follies of the
past half generation, and they have been
watered and nourshed and grown to apparent
harvest time by the distinctly opposite men
and measures declared by the two Chicago
conventions of 1884.
Cleveland will lose many Democratic votes
for the single offence of IMPLYING practical,
honest administration. The blatant dema.
gogues who hang on the edges of every hope
full party by turns will decry him and the lep.
rous jobbers of all parties will make common
and exhaustive battle againsthim. But more
than one hundred thousand men of sincere
Republican faith in the debatable States will
openly espouse his cause and press the result
to successful revolution. New York will be
desperately contested, but the more desper-
ately it shall be fought the more signal will
! be the Cleveland victory. Connecticut and
New Hampshire promise to be Cleveland
States and Massachusetts will tremble in the
balance between the plumed knight and the
man who is known only as a resolutely hon
est public servant The conflict will be one
ofthe most violent and exhaustive of our
political history.
The Republicans have their ablest leader.
His undiscovered resources are vast and will
be employed in desperation. His party has
boundless means of political warfare and
they will be summoned to the utmost. There
will be money for the venal, honors for the
ambitious, plumber for thieves, promises for
the weak and flattery for fools but the very
desperation of the strife will multiply and
crystalline the forces of reform, and only some
monumental Democratic folly can hinder the
| election Of Grover Cleveland.
Tie platform, when sifted of the regulation
clap trap that is inseparable from all modern
party deliverances, is sound sensible and pa.
triotic. 1t is honest for the protection of in
| dustry, for the maintenance of our manufac.
lures, for the strict enforcement of public
economy and for the reform of debauched
and debauching profigacy by the reduction
| of taxes to the economical necessities of the
government.
There is no idiotic theory in the Cleveland
platform to breed revolt in 1884 as it was
bred in 1880, and the plain issue of honest
economical public administration comes will
revolutionary tread to restore free govern.

A standard rose said to have been planted

places the principal stem is about as thick as

of the apse of the cathedral, and this year
the venerable and venerated object has put
forth several new and thrifty shoots. Fears
have been entertained for a long time past
that, after its life of 900 years, the plant was
losing its vitality. But now it is apparently
taking new lease of life, and there is much
rejoicing in Hildesheim at the fact The

a fifteen column speech and several puffs
for Donnelly, the democratic candidate in

ces 1t as an outrageous trick and fraud
perpetrated by the democrats through bri-
berry of the postoffice officials and threatens
to carry the war into Africa and smoke the
offenders out of their holes, while the
Globe compliments its contemporary on its
enterprise in giving its subscribers some
good and interesting reading even if it has
to steal the Globe supplement to do it.
