OverUaking and on the point of outstripping
that of Great Britain.
Under twenty years OF Republican rule
and policy our commerce has been left to
British bottoms, and almost has the Ameri-
can flag been swept off the high seas.
Instead of the Republican party's British
policy we demand for the people of the
United States an American policy.
Under Democratic rule and policy our
merchants and sailors, flying the stars and
stripes in every port, successfully searched
out market for the varied products of
American industry.
Under quarter century of Republican

tage over all Other nations in high-paid labor,
favorable climates and teeming soil despite
freedom of trada among all these United
States; despite Their population by the fore

years of peace-that Republican rule and
policy have managed to surrender to Great
Britain, along with our commerce, the con-
troll of the markets of the world.
Instead of the Republican party's discred-
tied scheme and false pretense of friendship
for American labor, expressed by imposing
taxes, we demand in behalf of the DemOc-
racy freedom for American labor by reduc-
ing taxes, to the end that these United
States may compete with unhindered pow

arts of peace and fruits of liberty.

A broody hen should not be allowed
to indulge her propensities unless
both she and her owners mean bust
ness. Sitting is exhaustive Of vitality
partly because the hen at this time
is so absorbed by her duties that she
will not take time from the nest TO
eat or drink. Ifallowed to sit even
three or four days they lose enough
flesh so that they are not quickly got
into condition for egg production
again. AS soon as the first brOOdi-
ness is noticed, shut the hen up in a
room where she has no chance to
make nest; feed literally with
wheat screenings and thikened milk.
After two or three days she will be-

The HORRORS Cultural.

(Dr. Samuel D. Gross, of Philadelphia, lately
Crematedl
If people could see the human body af-
ter the process of decomposition sets in,
which is soon as the vital spark ceases to
exist. they would not want to be buried:
they would be in favor of cremation.
Burying the human body, l think, is
horrible thing If more was known
about the human frame while under
going decomposition, people would turn
with horror from the custom of burying
their dead. 1t sometimes takes a human
body 80, go and 50 years-yes, longer
than that to decay. Think of it! The
remains of a friend lying under six feet
of ground, or less, for that length of time.
going through slow stages of decay, and
other bodies all this time being buried
around these remains. Think of thou
sands Of such bodies being crowded into
few acres of ground, and then reflect
that these graves in time fill with water,
and that water percolates through the
ground and mixes with the springs and
wells from which we drink. There is
something repulsive to me about the idea
of lying few feet underground for a
century or more. When die | want nv

DEATH ON THE RIVER.


The public will now have before
it full account of the unfortunate
collision between the Anita and the
Princess on the sworn testimony be-
fore the coroners jury. We have
been careful to give the plain facts
simply, as impaired to us by the
parties whose evidence would be
considered most valuable. The ques-
tions as to the courses pursued by
the steamers and the responsibility
of either for this most lamentable
occurrence, and it's consequences, we
have forborne to discuss. I'm PaIat-
ka sits jury of good men and true,
sworn to do impartial justice, with
all the paraphernalia furnished by
experience and the learning Of cen
turtles to keep the scales exactly bal
anced. In far Boston there is q
hushed household, the crushed hopes
Of near kindred and friends, and the
bitter tears of & mother weeping
like Rachel for her lost children and
refusing comfort Speeding fast
flies the faithful friend with all that
remains Of the brilliant life and
glowing hopes Of Edward r. Hall,
save the memories embaImed in low
ing hearts.
1t is possible that these dreadful
consequence have flowed from care
lessness, but the responsibility should
only be fixed after full enquiry, and
then-upon the head of the guilty
the law must fall We have heard
some bitter expressions on the
streets; Palatka owes it to her own
fair fame and the best interests of
her future that no hasty action or
violent prejudices should shame us
in this hour when calm considera-
ton is essential to just action in so
important a case. We must not
forget the claims of justice to the
offender, nor those Of the aged
mother and sorrowing relatives, but
to the other parties also the balance
must be evenly held. Mr. Lente's
letter expresses the Indignation of a
friend, our imagination must not
follow him in his sad journey to a
heartbroken mother till we forget
that sympathy has no place in q
court room. Sorrow for the crushed
hope and broken dream; sorrow fol
the manly heart so suddenly stilled
for the proud brain whose pulsations
are now no more forever; we fee
deeply for sorrowiul souls and the
stricken family in far distant Bos
ton, but let us remember that sym
pathy cannot atone for the wrong
and only justice, rigid, Impartial
justice is demanded by society anC
