the bond which creates trust between man

Blaine into the Presidential chair is to teach
young men that lying is foible. (Applause.)

one. (Applause) Do you mean to say there
are no good Democrats? If the Democrats
do not do well when they secure control of

this an issue now. There is higher ques-

Bayard, Thurman, Carlisle and Lamar do for
Cleveland's Cabinet? Do you prefer that it
should be Blaines Cabinet, made up of such
characters as Dorsey, Elkins, Jones and the
like? How would you like to see Jay

you vote for Blaine you will vote for corrup-

REFUTING THE ISLANDERS AGAINST CLEvE-
Referring to the ISLANDERS against Gov.
Cleveland, Mr.. Beecher said: I'm all the his
tory of politics do not believe that lies SO
cruel, SO base, so atrocious have ever been set
in motion. l would to God that l could be-
lieVe that the Republican party had not had
any hand in it. If they have, it is the worst
thing that ever was done by the party. The
air is murky with shameless stories of Mr..
Clevelands private life. To our sorrow and
shame we find these cockatrice eggs brooded
and Matched by foolish and credulous clergy
men. They could not go to MIR. Cleveland in
peace and quietness, so they opened their ears
to the harlot and the drunkard. They
sought by innuendo and irresponsible SANDER
to poison the minds of innocent men and
women, and they have sought to make back
biting Christian virtue and to change the
century into the salacious whisperings of ca
lumny."

The Little Savage.

About the time when baby begins to put
away monkey manners, and to stand on two
feet like man, he begins to show, in a very
marked degree, the characteristics of savage
tribes. For two or three years of this part of
his life the best baby is a little savage. His
ideas of property are intensely savage. He
may be said to be always more or less ION
the grab" Il object to slang as much as any
man, but really there is no other way of de-
scribing the tendencies exhibited at this stage
of baby's career.) If he has small brothers or
sisters Tor both,) he is always more or less at
war with these neighboring savages. If he
is deprived of anything he has come to regard
as his property quite mistakenly, it may well
beg, or il he sees in the hands of his small
kinsfolk any goods or chattels which seem
pleasing in his eyes, he has but one way of
expressing his wishes he goes for the pos
session of the desired object, using his hands
as weapons if he has no others handy, but
bringing down a stick or brush or book (as
the case may be) on the head of his enemy
with all the zeal of Fijian or an Ojibbeway
OIL the war path. Girl babies are pretty nearly
as bad as boy babies in these matters, only
the girl savage differs from the boy savage
as much as savage woman differs from savage
man. OF course, there are many baby boys
and baby girls who show little tendency to
savagery, just as there have been many un-
cultured races of men who have been gentle
and innocent. But the quiet babies are al
ways weak and unhealthy. In the struggle
for existence they succumb before their more
ferocious tribes, just as the quiet and gen.
tie savage brothers perish before their toma.

Curtis on Cleveland.

The quiet dignity of Grover Cleveland dur
ing this bitter personal campaign has greatly
impressed the country Not week passes
that some fresh and disastrous illustration of
the crooked and questionable conduct of Mr..
Blaine during his official career is not made
public. But against the perfect honor of Mr..
Cleveland's official action not one serious
blow has been even aimed. The more close
ly his career is scanned the more plainly it ap.
pears that the guiding principle of his con-
duct has been the great truth that public Of
fee is public trust. The Mayor of Buffalo
and the Governor of New York are not found
to be involved in vast speculative schemes
whose value depends largely upon action
which he can control. He is not the broker
of such enterprises He is not found en-
treating to be let in upon the ground floor,
nor promising not to be dead head, nor pro.
posing schemes in which his influence may
be serviceable, nor, when hopelessly en-
tangled in net of his own letters, begging
a friend to save him by asserting what the
same friend has told him is not true, nor, lest
he should lose votes, declaring that he never
owned property which undeniable docu-
ments prove that he did own.

Frauds in the Treasury Department

J.J. Barker, Of New York, who recently
resigned from the treasury at Washington,
has addressed an open letter to President
Arthur, in which he declares that he stands
ready to prove by vouchers on file in the Of
fee of the register in the Treasury Depart
ment "that millions of dollars have been
wrongfully taken from the United States
Treasury Department since the Republicans
came in power" Mr.. Barker mentions sew
eral cases where United States district attor-
neys, marshals, commissioners and witnesses
were largely overpaid after he had called the
attention of the first comptroller to these
raised" accounts. Mr.. Barker informs the
President that he resigned his place in the
service of the United States for the simple
reason that he declined to be accessory to
the systematic frauds that are being perpe-
trated through the first comptrolier's office
of the Treasury Department" -,

Blaine is Beaten.

We believe that Blaine is beaten for one
reason, and for that reason he justly deserves
to be beaten. He has been heard in Maine, in
New York, in Pennsylvania, in nearly every
chief centre of Ohio, in West Virginia and in
Michigan, and he has yet to utter the first
word in favor of honest government, OF re-
duced taxation, of repeating the hundred
millions of surplus and of restoring the ma
tional authority to public integrity and econ
omy. He has not uttered one word that could
offend the jobbers of the land not one word
to chill the hopes of banded plunderers not
one word to give assurance that Star Route
thieves shall cease to mock justice under the
shadows of the Capitol not one word to re-
call the nation to an honest ballot and TO hon.

hunger for such nourishment from the Re.

Lincoln. We believe that Blaine is beaten.

FOR A CHILD.
Midnight or morning, eve or noon,
Torn March or clover-scented June
Whenever you stand before this gate
Twill open--if but not too soon
You knock, If not too late.
Well shall it be If, boyhood gone,
A boys delight you still may own
To play the dawn-new game of life
If what is dreamed and what is known
In your still startled heart have strife.
Ere you have banished Mystery.
Or throned Distrust, or less shall be
Stirred by the deep and fervent line
Which is the poets sign and fee; ..
Be this your JOY that now is mine.
When comes the hour, be full and bright
Your lamp, as the wiser virgins light!
Choose some familiar shrine-like nook,
And offer up in prayer the night
Upon the altar of this book.
Always new earth, new heavens lie
The apocalyptic spirit nigh;
If such be yours, oh, while you can,
Bid unregretted Youth good bye,
For morning shall proclaim you Man.
