SHALL AMERICA BE pIsaoSoRrn9

The London Morning Chronicle. on
 printing the remarkable correspondence
 between the venerable ex-Presidents,
 John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. in
 1875, was moved to remark. in a tone of
 reproach to monarchists, that "since the foundation of the American Republic the chair has never been filled by a man for whose life Ito say the leasp any American need once to blush"
 Says the Inter r-Oceau: These words written and printed si1ty-one years ago, have a greater significance now than at any other period of American history. lf the statements of reputable and we'll known citizens of Buffalo are true land they stand unchallengedl. one of the leading political parties IS seeking to place m the chair of Washington a man whose private life should cause every good citizen to blush, and re- gret the faiuity of party management that renders It possible to bring upon the republic such lasting dIshonor. If this effort shall prove successful it will close the doors of the Executive Man sion to every decent man and woman {, s as If it were a pest house.
 We do not believe that the intelligent electors of the United States are pre- pared to place in the White House, as the executive head of the nation for four years, a man guilty of the vice d. legged ID this case. We do not believe that they are yet ready to follow in the course that has rendered the aristocra- rIeS and mOnarchies of European coun- trl-s infamous and an offense in the | sight of God. Prtud of tbe fact that l they are sovereign. tLe real source of | poWer. and conscious Of their responsi- D-iIty, they will rise ,o the dignity of the l occasion aud Give to tile world still fur .her proof that morality Is promoted I md gOoi government made secure where he peep le are free.

If Stevens and Browder c'uld have captured the club and the Democratic party there would have been no further use for the Taxpayers organ ization' but as they have no party now they must fall back upon the taxpayer proposition. Before they everlaslngly damn themselves politically, We offer them chance to join the Republican party. The doors are open. We can not consent however. that they shall be admitted into full fellowshIp-take them on probation-and they will find the great heart of the Republican party ready to give them hearty welcome.

s. Energy"
Pre- ". q. Proecc, In Popular Science honthiy.1
Suppose q gardener, with q ton Of
gravel in front Of him, were told to move
that gravel to height of three feet. lie
would go to work with the spade, he
would move shovelful after shovelful
from the ground lineup to the three-feet
height, and after he had moved the
whole of it you might readily imagine
that he would feel little fatigued. Now
whenever a person does anything which
cauees fatigue, he docs what we call
work.
The gardener, in lifting tho gravel.
would perform an amount of work which
is capable of being measured viii
give you another illustration. Suppos-
ing some boys were put beside a
pile of cricket balls, and for a wager OF
prize you were called upon to throw the
balls as fast md as far as you could. A
good thrower would perhaps throw the
first ball eighty yards, he would throw
the second ball seventy-fve yards, the
third seventy yards, the fourth sixty-five
yards, and so each ball that he throw
would go less and less distance, until
he had no strength left, and he could
throw no more balls, Now TINT boy
would have done work something would
have passed out Of him into the balls !;
he has, as it were, passed something that
belonged TO him into the cricket balls,
and as q result he feels fatigue, through
the loss Of this something.
Tuke another illustration Surprising
| two crews agree to row a race. They
start full of life and full of energy they
pull with all their hearts and might, and
arrive at the goal, in common language,
thoroughly pumped out Something
has gone out OF them into the boat.
That which has gone out of the crew,
and out of the boy who threw the crick-
ct balls is what we call energy, and what
they have done is to do work upon the
boat
Another example is IN the case Of foot
ball. A boy kicks the football and
makes a splendid goal To do that he
has sent something out Of his body into
the ball, which turtles through the ali
past the winning goal and the game is
Won.
In all these illustrations something Ii
done which results in fatigue, work is
performed and energy is lost; in fact
work done means energy applied. ant
energy applied means work done. Al
mental energy is our capacity for learn
ing lessons, for going through examina
tons and that kind Of thing, so the en-
ergy of the kind I speak of IS the capao
ity for doing absolute physical work
The generality of this energy is i'm
mense. It is difficult thing to grasI
the fact that there is something in ex
istence that we cannot feel, that We can
not touch aud that we cannot see, bu
which gives all the force and power W

following resolutions were passed:
II, Resolved, that Is. L. Butler,
by acting as a delegate in tile Dem
ocratic Convention has forfeited all
claim to ~the support Of the Grocnback
party, and has forfeited the nom
iuation given him by the Inlianapo-
lis Convention. His betrayal Of the
National Greenback party has no
parallel since the days Of Judas Iscor-
lot aud Benedict Arnold"
"2. Resolved, that all the members
of the National Committee be re-
quested to meet in Louisville, KY,
OH the 9Th of August, 1854, to fill the
vacancy on our presidential ticket.
Butler knows perfectly well that the
contest Is between Cleveland and
Blaine, and it is thought by many
that he will support Cleveland and
Hendricks eventually.

What On Independent Says.

The New York Herald has ever
been an Indepedcnt paper gong
with any side or party il pleased.
In this campaign it is enthusiastically
for Cleveland and Hendricks and
reform of the tariff, and it speaks
thus:
ave wish, for the credit Of two
great organizations to each of which
the country has occasionally hcon
greatly indebted, that we could say
something better of either, but at pres
ent there are but two liYe issues in
national politics-one is whether
high tariff, and consequent cxtrava-
gance shall or shall not continue to
retard American prosperity, and
the other is what sort of man the peo-
pie wish to sec i'm the presidential
chair-a m agnetic juggler or a man
whose abilities and character have
been severely tried and found good.
The Democratic party is on the right
side of both of these questions, so
men who are both honest and intel
ligent will vote the Democratic ticket,
regardless Of what either Tarty did in
the days of Lincoln or jackson or
jefferson
