that the high protection tariff Instead of

TIE FUTURE POLICY.

1twoald be no easy matter to forshad
ev II. loliry Of the j, G m,ng admins
st,atioa unless It were fcr.tbe fact that
the whele course Of President Cleveland
has been of such fesalitv as to leave
no doubt that he is equalto the great
task set before him. This greatness
consists in his honesty his integrity.
his patriotism, ard his sound judgement.
A party which has been for twenty four
years ont of power luoses a great deal
Of cohesive power CT compact organiza-
ton and becomes simply the unorgan-
'zed mouth piece Of the people. In the
case of the Democratic party however
there have been great underlying fun
danental principles which appealed to
the heart rs we'll az the head and ke,st
The party alive. It IS safe to assume
that these principles will be the foun-
dation of p esident Cevelanl's admin
lstratlon, Whether simple return
to the policy of our forefathers would
be sufficient to reorganize the latant
energies OF a party is fair matter for
debate. Make haste slow y is a good
maxim for the Democracy at this time.
ee not deceived The people have the
greatest confidence in and res, ,.ect fol
the party. They wish it to make nc
mistake. They pray for it to be solid
rather than brilliant. They asks It's
foundation to be broad and safe. In
All the walks of life President CIevc-
land has shown tirmness and good
judgement, candor and simplicity. He
represents those qualities which mYde
Jackson the idol of the Democracy
and he brings great administrative ex-
perienee and ability to the discharge OF
his duties. He is backed by the peo-
pie. 1t IS for him to bring together
the rude wishes of the people into
compact form. 1t is for him TO share
the destin.es OF his party and his coun.
try. For his integrity, his wisdom,
his Democracy the greatest, truest ever
given to mortal man has been awarded
him. So far no mistakes have
been made. And when President
Cleveland brings back our government
to the former simplicity when the
great work of reform and retrenchment
has been completed, then his admins
tration will begin the work of graphing
with those great new issues which have
sprung up through modern inventions
and the extent of modern corporate
power. As leader aud defner OF
principals he has the opportunity of
Jefferson and he has the ability, the
honesty and firmness to use it.

Romance Of . Poor Young Man.

A good many years ago youngisE
man kept grocery store in Troy, n
T., and built up reputation in short
time for shrewdness, meanness and
enterprise. He ran his store in q very
lively manner, and devised many
schemes to draw custom which are
common now, but were new and catch
ing then A couple of squares away
and around n corner from the store
lived pretty little rosy-ehceked girl.
with large gray eyes and brown hair,
a nimble wit and saucy tongue, and a
very independent spirit. The grocery
man fell in love with the girl, and for
several years eourted her diligently in
spite of snubs and scornful sayings.
He declared that the girl should marry
him, and she said she would see the
green grass and the little daisies grow
ing over him before such thing should
happen. The girls parents sided
more or less with the grocer, and told
the girl her lover would some day be
very rich and 3 great man. The result
was that the girl finally married a poor
young clerk, who became q weH-to-do
merchant in New York. and he and
his wife lead the happiest of lives in
their charming home out Harlem way.
Some times an old, haggard, weary
looking man drives through the park.
and when he sees the merchant and
his wife he flushes and bows stiffiY, and
then leans back in his superb carriage,
looking more haggard and more tired
than before. II somebody should no.
tice this meeting and should ask q

would say that the old man in the
splendid carriage was Russell Sage, and

A Rabbit subdues Boa-constriotor

According to Paris newspaper,
rabbit was placed in cage of one o
the larger serpents in the Jardin de
Plantes. day or two ago, for til,
daily meal of the occupant. A poorel
| specimen of the rabbit tribe, in poin
of appearance, it would not be easy tC
find; but it was noticed that the little
creature had peculiarly knowing and
determined look. The boa Missed
| joyously at the sight Of his dinner, anC
at once put all the power of fascination
he possessed into his large, round
eyes.
But the rabbit was not to be fascin.
ated. Boldly, and even defiantly, he re-
turned the reptiles stare, till the latter,
finding milder means of no avail, pro.
ceeded TO unfold one OF his coils. This
menaeing movement had the effect OF
producing a marvellous display Of salta-
tory activity on the part Of the rabbit.
His wild bounds and jumps, which be
kept up uninterruptedly for several
minutes, moving his ears terribly the
while, could only be compared to those
Of a red Indian brave inthe heat of a
war dance.
The boa, who was evidently I'M
accustomed to such a show of fight on
the part of his victim, drew back,
thoroughly inundated. Profiting by
this moment Of hesitation. the rabbit,
who was decidedly the Bayard of his
race, jumped upon the back of his
adversary. who now, utterly cowed and
discounted, retreated under the folds
of his blanket. The rabbit squatted
himself on his hindqaarters at the other
end of the cage in an attitude of
and in those positions--so
the yeracions history ends-both ami
mails were found by the keeper next
