The Democracy has for its Presidential
candidate a self-made man who has attained
his present honorable position by overcom-
ing obstacles in the way Of every poor boy in
his struggle for existence, and having come
up through trials and troubles he knows too
well the wants of the laboring classes to be
Indifferent in regard to their welfare. When
he received the nomination for the position
Of Governor, he said in his speech Of accept
ance, well do l remember when / came to
the city poor boy, without friends and with
ouY money, how kindly was received and
how kindly the people have ever looked upon
me. If elected the interests of the people
will be the object of my best endeavors."
How faithfully has he carried out the pledge
he then made. The opposing party has
striven to identify him with the monopollsts
How foolish, how absurd. He is poor man
the laboring classes. They can rely upon
him as their friend.
Blaine Is rich and his riches were obtained
by ways that are dark and dubious. What
cares he for the poor mana Do the labor Or
CARNATIONS expect assistance from him ?
If SO they are doomed to disappointment.
A poor school master in his early days, he is
now one of the wealthiest men in the land.
His palace in Washington is by far the most
expensive private residence in the city, and
all these accum I'M lations have been amassed
out of the sweat and sinews Of the laboring
classes. Previous to his nomination there
was scarcely paper in his party willing to
advocate his claims. Since his nomin alton
some have s'eaten their dish Of crow'' and
now advocate his election, yet there are
many papers of his own party who repudiate
him and who operating with that grand army
of Independent voters will aid in defeating
him in November. May Heaven spare us the
modification and humiliation the election of
James G. Blaine would bring upon US as a
Nation

"We consider Blaine to be dangerous
man. In the little time that he had control
of the Government he almost succeeded in
plunging the country into an unnecessary
war, and he performed other diplomatic SOM
ersaults that were more ridiculous than edi
flying. His past record does not encourage
US to hope for good behavior in the future.

MALONE has begun his work of juggling

Blaine. He proposes to prevent if possible

fair election prevail the House of Represen-
tatives of congress will have an opportunity
to review his work. The honest voters of
Virginia would prefer disfran chisement to
being dominated any longer by Malone. A
party that tolerates, and candidates who con-
federate with such treason-dyed, unregen

deserves defeat, aud defeat they will get.

airy overthrow of the licentious and prohig-
ate leaders who dominate a once pure and
patriotic Republican party. No venerable
partisan leader could unite such men in
common effort, and Cleveland with little
more than Lincoln public record, was cho-
sen, while the older and ADLER soldiers of the
party were passed by. AS Seward, Chase,
Summer, Bates and Wade were rejected at
Chicagoin 1850, SO were Thurman, Bayard,
Randall, Hancock and Mcclellan rejected ut
Chicago in 1884; great Republican journals
and leaders come forward to press the Cleve-
land revolution as great Democratic journals
and leaders came forward to press the Lin
coin revolution, and the political Swiss
guards of both parties frantically protest in
1884 as they did in 1902

corruption and despotism as the nomination
OF Cleveland is again the proclamation
against Dishonest Government by the friends
OF Honest government. In 1872 the Republi-
can party was at the height of its power, and
though the movement against 1t did not sue
coed then, the party began to reel and totter.
State after State fell away from the AFRO
giant grasp of the dominant party until in a
majority of them it has been put out Of
power. The record of 1875 and of 1880 is
against them, although they maintained their
national supremacy.
The very means used in those contests
have, however, ripened the harvest of their
defeat. Again the forces are in array. The
battle between Honest government and Dis
honest government will wax hot and furious
But the tide is against the old spoilers and is
sweeping with irresistible force into their
intrenchments, and who that reads the signs
of the times, with intelligent forecast can
but see the destiny of defeat for the corrup-
ton eaten party that is lead by the Prince of
political darkness, James G.. Blaine.

'tMr. Blaine's letter does not seem to be par

The Egyptian Peasantry.

The agricultural fellah is an admir-
able style of man With good cerebral
development and much aptitude and
intelligence, with an agile and muscular
frame, he is a typical farm lahorer, and
as he patiently works his shadoof or
waters his fields with tiny rills of the
water it has raised, or diligently weeds
or hoes his crops. he presents an ex-
ample of untiring industry and quaint
vet ingenious contrivance He has also
love of education, and desires that his
children should learn all that can be
taught in the schools to which he has
access. He will often pay the village
teacher what for him is very large
sum in exchange for a little education,
and he is anxious when he can to take
advantage of European schools He
reads, too, when he can get books, and
loves to know something of tie great
world beyond him, The dweller in a
mud hut, almost rootlesS and destitute
of furniture, is often for his cIrcum-
stances Il somewhat intelligent and even
learned man, and he is quick of APP
prenension and readily acquires or
initiates anything brought under his
notice by strangers. HIS family affec-
tons are strong, and his cheertulness
and good nature are almost invincible.
He is, it is true. deficient in some of the
I harder virtues of more northern climates,
and is less self-reliant and truthful than
| he should be, but it must be remem-
hered that his race has suffered oppres-
sion from a period long antecedent to
I the rise of our modern nations. The
| Egyptian must not be supposed
to be represented by the rabble
that howl for backsheesh at places
1 frequented by travellers. Migrants and
/ beggars exist more or less everywhere.
and in Egypt the observant tourist can
easily see the difference between these
and the men and boys diligently water
ing and wedding their crops from morn
| ing 10 night, and the women busily en-
ployed in household work. Too often,
however, all are treated alike by stran-
gers and their employees, and it is fire.

OId.FashiOnei Furniture.

Quaint bits of old fashioned furniture
have for long time past been much
sought after, and pretty examples are
now to be met with in almost every
house of refinement and taste. One
occasionally meets with old-fashioned
things which from change of circum-
stances can no longer be used for their
original purpose. The silver-forks-
which most members of the present
generation have never seen-were,
when not in use, stored away in spe-
cially made satin-wood or mahogany
box. often beautifully decorated with
inlaid marqueterie work, ard in the bet
ter examples the mountings were of
chased silver. The interior of the box
was apparently solid, with a separate
slit for each knife and fork, which. ham
die uppermost, stood upright Until
recently these beautiful specimens OF
the cabinet work OF a by-gonc age could
be purchased for very few shillings
each. Some one has discovered that by
removing the interior false top and
adding divisions for paper and envel-
opes these old knife-boxes can be easily
transformed into choice and covetable
stationery cabinets, and dealers are
now buying them up. and when trans
formed are asking almost as many
pounds as they gave shillings. Another
ingenious persona lady well known in
society-has discovered that the hie hly
polished, old fashioned double handled,
plethoric copper or brass tea urn
wherewith our great-grandmothers de-
lighted to adorn the table when their
friends assembled to discuss a dish OF
teacsu easily be transformed into a
noble table lamp of striking pro-
portions The urn proper forms the
body, and parafiin lamp, with its or
binary glass receptacle for oil, is fitted

the heater which with the lid Is OF

spout is likewise banished, and 4 SIM

large shade is fitted over an octagon-
shaped wire framework of ordinary
construction - Cadn3berS' Journal.

A Curious Custom.

II is we'll known that in the olden
times many holiday diversions and even
occasional fairs were held within the
precincts of our parish churches. For
instance, in the registers at Winchester
there is to be seen copy of mandate
from William of Wykeham, which for
bids juggling. the performance of loose
iances, ballad singing, the exhibiting
of profane shows and spectacles, and
the celebration OF other games, in the
church and even the church-yard of
kingston-on-Thame on pain of ex-
communication. it would appear. how
ever, that even this strong measure did
not prevent the origin. or at all events
the practice. OF another ancient custom.
OF which littlepr nothing is known ex-
cept that it is thought to have been Pc
culiar to Kingston. but which was car
RED on in the church. Itself. even during
the time OF divine service, down to tine
end of the last century. if not to the
beginning of this. The congregation,
strange as it NAV sound. used to crack
mats during the service on the Sunday
next before the eve OF ST. Michaels
day. Hence that sunday was called
Crack Nut SGnday." The custom was
not restrained or confined 80 the yo0n ?
er branches OF the congregation. but i;
was praeticed alike by Young aud CID:
and it Is on record that the noise
caused by the cracking was often sc
loud and so powerful as to oblige the
minister to break off for a time his
reading or his sermon until silence was
restored The above custom was
thought BY one or two antiquaries to
have been connected in some way or
other with the choosing of bailiffs and
other members Of the corporate body on
Michaelmas day. and with the usual
feast which attended that proceeding

How to Trim q Fruit Tree.

No man should start out to trim 8
fruit tree on a theory not based on
what is wanted from its growth. A
good many act and talk about the busi-
ness Just as if fruit tree were grown
for its timber. But the thing wanted
out of fruit tree is its fruit; this is
down to the hard-pan as to the purpose
of its culture.
The way to trim tree is that which
gives us the most luscious harvest.
It's the sun that helps to this return for
our care. The right pruning, there
fore. is that which leaves the tree spray
so that the sun can tint with its pencil,
and ripen by the chemistry of its rays,
every fruit.
Most men begin the work in the
by year, the tree takes form as lank
as lean and feather-strippei turkey.
But the place to begin is at the top.
unless the maze of criss-cross branches
puzzles your downward sight and
work. If so, cut out first those inter
lacing limbs: then, starting from the
tree-top. so lop the limbs and sprays as
to leave none to chafe its fellows, and
that each radiating branch may stretch
from the trunk or main limbs outward
into space open to the sun and air all
around its fronds and foliage. 1t needs,
besides the wit to judge about this
business, a good deal OF courage to
rightly prune. Most men are timid
about the duty; they fear lest the cut.
ting out of so much wood will shorten
the crop. Have no such fears; no
well-bearing tree does its best unless
the fruit is thinned. Though the num-
Der. will be less, the better size will
make the quantity about the same. and
the quality far superior. So, if you
thin out the branches, you virtually
thin the fruit, without the job of pick
ing Off the little settings, and, at the
same time, open the tree to sun and
air. There are fewer men who have
the courage to thin their fruits than to
prune thoroughly.
As to dwarf trees, it used to be the
plan and counsel of orchardists to cut
in first, before much swelling of the
buds. about half the last years growth.
| don't think that counsel wise. A
dwarf tree according to the expert
ence of the veteran nurseryman and
pomologist c. NJ. Hovey) never fruits
well till you leave it to shoot up as il
lists. All you need do is to stake it, il
the slender roots do not stay its
"wabble D." in the wind, and to thin the
fruit sets. if too many for perfect
crop.-GeneraL William II. Noble, in
AuraI NeU Yorker.
