How Horrid Captain Quibley Cruelty Dis
appointed His wife.
Heres a good piece of advice, :"
said Captain Quibley, putting aside &
newspaper and turning to his wife. "a
paragraph here says that man should
never smoke pipe while going down
stairs. In case he should fall, he would
be likely to drive the stem through the
roof of his mouth and out at the top of
his head"
Il never heard of such a thing" re-
plieG Mrs. Quibley.
'.It's not by any means improbable, !"
rejoined S,e Captain. There's our
old friend George Gaines. He is great
smoker, you Know"
"Yes," with interest.
'.Well, the other day. forgot to
mention it, by the wayne was coming
down stairs and his foot slipped and
down he went He always smoked a
long stem pipe you know"
''Great goodness. Captain!'
"Yes. be had passion for long stem
pipes. One day while We were out hunt
inc he found cane root about five feet
long. He took it home with him and
had it bored out. Beats any"
"But when he fell did he drive il
through his head?'
.'Oh, no. You see he had to stop
smoking on account of his health, but /
was going to say for example"
"Quibley, you are the biggest fool
ever saw. Go on now and split n,
some wood. You ought to be ashamed
of yourself to disappoint any one that

Church, Brooklyn, spoke to large CON

Destiny and Duty" He said:
An intelligent comprehension of our
future and our responsibility to that
future is necessary to make a mighty
Nation out OF prosperous settlement.
Our census for 1880, gives $4,000, 900,
and, as population doubles in less than
every thirty years, in 1910 we shall have
100000, 000 in 1910 we shall have 200,-
600, 900, in 1870 100000, 600; and so on.
And in 1l6 years from today our grand
children will see 100000, 900, popula-
ton in the United States = twice the
population of India to-day, larger than
China, and of what tremendous power
o, what possibilities for us as peo-
Pile! one of the qualifications to meet
these responsibilities is education. Con-
gress ought to pas a law making an ed
vocational qualification necessary to vot-
ing No man is fit to vote unless he
could read and write Political offenses
should forfeit political rights. The man
who tells or publishes a lie about a man
who is running for office ought to be
deprived of all privileges.
We have heard of the Monroe doc
trine, which is that America is to be the
master of America Our flag and cit
izenship have been in this administra-
ton dragged in the dust. Our country
was to have been properly represented
in the Chili-Peru troubles, but an acct
dent drove out and retired to private
life the one man who was able to carry
out the policy. What we want is a
stronger Nationality, and man who is
coming is going TO make the United
States respected and feared BY the ma
tons of the earth.
We have got TO take hand in the
game of the nations and countries on
this side the water. 1t is in our power
to have just the right man in the right
place as President Of the United
States for the next four wears.
That man is the embodiment of all that
is noble and ideally high, and will
DO for this country what no other
man can. His name is James G.
Blaine. " Y. Trianne, J1ly z.

Congressional 0ntlOOk.

The Milwaukee Sunday Telegraph
speaking of candidates for Congress in
the Third District says. Here there
will be splendid contest Hon. Burr
W. Jones has made a good member,
and will be renominated by the demo-
Gratis without doubt. The vote two
years ago was, b. w. Jones, 1905;
George &. Hazelton, z 1924; f. w. Reyes
1871; S. d. Hastings, prohibitionist,
3, 1872. 1t will be seen that Jones had
1910 more votes than both Reyes and
Hazelton. Since than Mr.. Jones has
been given trial in the halls Of con
gress, and has made record which
counts greatly in his favor, and, of
course, against the republicans. If the
latter defeat him they will have to make
q superb nomination, and then put in
for HIM the best work they know how
to do. Among the men named for the
nomination are Senator A. n Randall
of Brodhead, Ex-senator j. b. Treat,
of Monroe, Colonel j. G.. Clark and
Hon. G. w Ryland, of Lancaster, Hon.
E. W. Reyes and Major Frank w. Oak
ley, of Madison. The soldier element
is stronger in this than in any other
district OF the state. Capt. Randall
and Major Oakley were good soldiers;
either would make good run, and it
is no reflection upon Senator Randall
to say that Major Oakley would make
the better run. There are not few
republicans who are confident that the
major could be elected, General Fair
child, also, could be elected. The dem
ocrats do not want either Oakley or
Fairchild nominated, but if the repub-
Leans expect TO win in the Sd district
they win have to take one Of these two
gentlemen or another who is as strong.
And where is that man?

BILE the Consular officers at London,
Liverpool, Marseilles, Havre, and Ham
burg, to at once appoint competent
physicians to inspect all vessels and
passengers departing for the United
States from the ports mentioned. The
Consular officers referred to are in

in all cases except on the recommends
ton of the sanitary inspector. that such
bills will be given. Consuls are in
structed to report by cable any case of
infectious or contagious disease known
to exist on board vessel at the time of
her departure for the United States
THIS course is adopted in order that the
health officers in our ports may have
timely warning of approaching danger
and be prepared to take such measures
as shall prevent the SOURCE from getting
a foot hold in this country. 1t is prob
able that under the authority conferred
by the contagious disease clause Of the
legislative bill, medical examiners will
be appointed as attaches to the Ameri-
can consulates at French ports infected
with cholera, whose duty it shall be to
report periodically upon the progress of
the disease

A Genuine Scotch Sabbath.

The Scotch are of course, very
righteous people, indeed. and their
reverence for the "Sawbath" is q matter
of common notoriety. Last Sunday q
bark arrived at st. Andrews Bay, flying
a flag for assistance. A fishing boat
put off, and it was discovered that tho
captain and crew were in a state Of
semi-starvation, having been reduced
for several days to diet of one biscuit
a day per man. But the godly people
of st. Andrews are so strongly opposed
to anything approaching Sunday trad
ing that provisions were only procured
with the greatest difficulty, and for
some time it.appeared rs though the
unfortunate sailors would. have dona
better to remain on board with their
one biscuit until Monday. I wonder il
it occurred to these rigid Sahbatarians
that if a6T of the men had died they
would hays been morally, if not legally,
guilty Of manslaughter +? - London

CLEVELAND AND HENDRICKS.
NEW YoRK's GOVERNOR AND THE TAIL
OF THE TlLDEN TICKET CHOSEN. But
LITTLE ENTHUSIASM IN THE RANK AND
FILE OF THE DEMOCRACY.
SKETCHES OF THE CANDIDATES.

The campaign has begun. The work
OF the second Chicago National conven-
ton is over. The country breathes
easier, although John Kelly ana Ben.
Butler got their wind choked off in the
convention and will bolt Bayard, But
Ter, Thurman, Mcdonald, Hendricks
and other party leaders of the Demo-
cratic party with brains, records, and
craftsmanship, were thrust aside by the
convention, and man whom the Re-
publicans elected Governor of the State
of New York, and Tammany and the
Labor interests opposed, was nominated
to please the Monopolists and Republic
can soreheads. The Convention was
an enthusiastic one, and in many ar
rangements the Hall was greatly i'm
proved since the Republican convention
of Texas, was chosen permanent chair
man. A large number of resolutions
were offered relating to the reduction
of the revenues of the government to
the limit of its expenses, to the subjects
of polygamy, tariff revision, civil ser
vice reform, election of postmasters by
the people, disposal of public lands, the
labor question, and minor matters.
They were referred to the Committee
on Resolutions. The Committee on
Permanent Organization reported the
name of William f. Villas, of Wisconsin,
for the position of permanent chairman,
which was unanimously concurred in,
who presided with great ability.
His opening speech was a little too
''soapy'' for the unterritied wing of the
party and the sobriquet of the great
unwashed'' will be a familiar party cry
during the campaign. Bayard, Cleye-
land, Mcdonald, Thurman, Randall and
Carlisle were nominated by their res
pective states. The following were the
ballots.

NUMBER 20.
Tile Nominations.

The second Chicago Convention has
completed its work by nominating
Cleveland q Hendricks, as the Demo-
cratic standard bearers for the cam
paign of 1884.
Your Democratic neighbor tells you
it is strong ticket. True 1t is a
strong one south of Mason and Dixon's
line; but is it strong in New York state,
to whose wishes this convention, like
every other national convention of the
Democratic party, since 1860, has de-
fered TO? Is it strong in craftsmanship?
Is it strong in men OF great intellectual
ability? Is it strong in men who fought
for those Republican principles which
were aSsailed by the same Democratic
party to-day. that backed the men who
fired on Fort Sumter in 1861? Is it
strong in men who have shaped the
legislation of our country during the
past twenty-five years and have out
spoken opinions on every measure a
National Importance? No, my Demo
cratic friend it is not; but the Republi-
can nominees are strong in these re-
spects. Does not the Democratic party
by the nomination of Cleveland, whose
political career began since 1870, ac-
knowledge that it is ashamed of its rec
ord previous to that time, and hopes to
slip in power on the reform" or an
dependent" cry, which characterized its
actions in 1872 and 1876?
Cleveland, as every political observer
can see, has been chosen because he
possesses none of the positive points
above enumerated and is negative
man. His convictions upon any of the
issues of the time are not known, and
will not embarass him in National con-
test. He was named as nominee for
Governor of New York in 1882 for that
reason, and because he could unite his
own party. Since then he has split his
party in his own state and played good
Lord and good Devil with the Repub-
licans and the Democrats, always favor
ing the monopolists of both parties
Hendricks record is pretty well
known. He was one of the victims of
"the great fraud of 1876. the Demo-
Gratis sprung on themselves In the
convention he betrayed Mcdonald,
whose friend he purported to be, and
carried off The nomination for Vice
President.
On the whole the Republicans have
much cause for congratulation. Had
the convention dominated q statesman
of the calibre of Thurman, whose record
is as white as snow, it is doubtful if
Blaine could have defeated him. But
in the very state Cleveland was nomi-
mated to carry. he is weakest with his
own party, and wherein Cleveland and
Hendricks will prove a stronger ticket
or possess more elements of popularity
and prospects of success than Hancock
and English in 1880, we cannot discov-
en-
The Democratic party's grand oppor-
tunity is lost. 1t has sold its "birth-
right for mess of pottage," and the
Republican party is to be congratulated
on the brilliant leaders it has chosen
and the glorious victory that surely
awaits it, next November

Wants to Pension the Rebel Soldiers.

Wants TO Pension the Rebel Soldiers.
General b. T. Butler bid high for the
support of the South for the Presidency
He was just demagogue enough to get
on his knees before the Southern dele
gates. if necessary, to the extent even
of making an humble apology to the
South for having fought against her re-
bellion. At meeting of the Demo-
cratic National Convention Committee
on Resolutions, Wednesday evening,
he is reported TO have submitted the
following as proposed plank in the
PLATFORM:
RESOLVED, That internal revenue is a
war tax, and that SO long as it continues
the money so raised shall go toward the
relief of the people from the burdens of
war, as by paying pensions and provid-
ing for disabled soldiers, whether Con
federate or Union.
The report of this incident in the COM
mittee meeting goes on to say that But
Ter. explaining his proposition, said:
| honor those Confederate soldier
lads. They were honest, and brave as
they were honest, and they crowned
the American name with glory when
they fought and fell for principle on the
battleiields of the South. The time
will come, he prophesied, when the
Democratic party will put in power q
President with will enough not to shrink
from his duty toward the veterans of
the South. II should be false to my
self" he exclaimed, with voice at high
pitch, "false to true, actual Democracy,
if | did not stand here, God helping me,
and speak as do and must"
This is out-Heroding Herod. 1t is
more than the rebel soldiers and the
rebel politicians themselves would dare
to ask for at the present time. 1t is
for the chief of Northern demagogues
first to propose it.
The Republicans would like nothing
better than to have that plank inserted
in the Democratic platform, and to have
its author nominated upon it for the
Presidency. That would give rs an is
sue indeed. -C Chicago Journal
