fleefing men. They recognize the Demo-
cratic party as the party Of free trade,
and to that doctrine they are unalterably
opposed. They believe In the American
idea which is SO distinct and prominent a
feature in the Republican creed that this
continent is dedicated and shall remain
sacred to Republican government and
civil and religious liberty, and the other
doctrine that adopted and native citi-
zens possess equal rights and are entitled
TO full protection at home and abroad.
The Irish Catholic voters resent any ap-
peal for their votes on grounds connect
ed with their race or religion. Mr.. Hen
bricks has said that the Irish are natural
Democrats. Why? What is there IN the
history or doctrines of that party which
constitutes claim upon the allegiance
of Irishmen or affords reason for their
united and unerring support. This
question is disappearing and should en-
tirely disappear from American politics.
Irishmen think for themselves from their
individual convictions and vote accord
ingly with one party or the other. There
is an element which exists and is growing
aggressive in our population, VIZ, the
Communistic or Socialist. The members
OF this class to a man are found In the
Democratic party. With them the Irish
Catholic has no sympathy and can have
no affilation. They are not only anarch-
lists but infidels and join with their crazy
attacks ON government and property
rights, SCOTS and jeers at the Almighty
himself and at everything which Catholics
hold sacred They viii find in the Irish
Catholics their firmest opponents, and
the party which fosters or encourages
them cannot have the support of the
other. There is no reason In our politics
why voters should be classed as Irish,
French or German, as Catholics, Metho-
dists or. Presbyterians, and the sooner
some politicians learn it the better.

there has been entire freedom in the ex-

The election Is over and the party of the
solid South has triumphed. SO that our
curiosity to know just how the elections
have been conducted may be satisfied
now with less danger OF stirring up sec
tional hate than at any other time since
the war. The Democrats of the South
should seek out and embrace an early op-
portunity to show to the world how inno-
cent their election methods are and what
sacrifices they have made to- allow the
negro the free use Of the ballot.

THERE is a sort OF renaissance of in
terest in Democratic presidents, and two
authors are essaying to that kind of
ancient history. George Ticknor Curtis
and Rev. John Newton Spear, of Read
ing, are both engaged in writing biogra-
phies of James Buchanan. Mr.. Curtis,
fearing Mr.. Spear is going to steal from
him, has written the reverend gentleman
threatening legal proceedings. This
arouses the r. g.'s righteous indignation
and he tells Mr.. Curtis If he were cap
able OF stealing brains, he would steal
from some one besides Mr.. Curtis. So
both books are getting freely advertised

1T Is a remarkable All creditable fact
that IN a work of such magnitude as the
construction of the Washington monu-
ment not single fatal accident or serious
injury has happened to either workmen
or visitors. But it is doubtful if fact
ever had a narrower escape of fulfilment
than the above. The man who fell from
the crest of the monument and was
caught ten feet below by nail catching
his clothing and held suspended for
sevral minutes with five hundred feet of
clear air under him, has reasonsto feel a
big debt of gratitude to his tailor and the
nail-maker.

the suggestion of the Postmaster-Gene

are hardly sufficient to induce them to

feature of this branch of the service is
that men who do exactly the same grade

Good Advice from n HOOsier.
Boston Journal,

Boston Journal
Mr. Clem Studebaker, of South Bend,
Ind, is a gentleman widely known through
out the West, and also in Boston. He is
a representative man. The following is an
extract from him to business friend in
Boston:
can heartily indorse the ticket nomi-
mated at Chicago, although it was not just
what l wanted. 1t would be a difficult
thing to nominate any man who has been
before the public long and prominently
against whom nothing could be said, and
while Mr. Blaine will be criticised, do
not forget that no Republican President
from Lincoln and Grant down has escaped
it. And l think it will be well to remem-
Der that while Blaine may have made some
mistakes, and while he may not be in all
respects our ideal of party candidate, he
has rendered very distinguished services
in the Republican party. He is a gallant
fighter, and though beaten twice for this
nomination with strong following behind
him, has never for a moment faltered in
giving hearty support to his more fortunate
rival. l should be very sorry to hear of
any considerable disaffection in the party
in the East which, indeed, l do not antici-
pate when once the nominations are made
on the other side and the issues are joined.
l believe that the campaign will show that
the ticket is strong one. 1t is plain now
that the ticket is popular in the West, and
l am confident that it will be triumphant
ly elected in November

THE LITTLE COAT.

Here's his ragged roundabout"
Turn the pockets inside out;
See, his perknife, lost to use,
Rusted shut with apple juice;
Here with marbles, top, and string,
Is his deadly devil sling.
With its rubber, limp and last
As the sparrows of the past
Beeswax-buckles-le straps
Bullets and box of caps
Not thing of all, guess,
But betrays some waywardness-
Zen these tickets, blue and red.
For the Bible verses said
Such as this his mem'ry kept
Jesus wept."
Here fishing hook and.llne,
Tangled up with wire and twlne,
And dead angle worms and some
Slugs of lead and chewing gum,
Blent with scents that can but come
From the oil of rhodium.
Here, a soiled yet dainty note,
That some little sweetheart wrote,
Dotting-"Nine grows round the stump
And-"My sweetest sugar lump!
Wrapped in this-a paddock Key
Where he's filed touch-hole-see!
And some powder in quill
Corked up with a liver pill,
And spongy little chunk
OF punk"
Here's the little coat-but o.
Where is he we've censured so?
Don't YOU hear us calling, dear?
Back! Come back, and never fear;
You may wander where you will,
Over orchard, field, and hill;
You may kill the birds, or do
Anything that pleases you
All this empty coat OF his
Every latter worth a kiss
Every stain is pure instead,
As the white stars overhead;
And the pockets-homes were they
OF the little hands that play
New no more-but, absent, thus
BeckOn us.

THE EARLY FLY.

Peace, buzzing harbinger of balmy spring!
Gyratons devious
Can only cripple thy rheumatic limb
Or leave thee but poor frost-bitten thing.
Thou art too previous!
Go, HE thee to some sunny window ledge,
And dream of June.
W sunburned noses, bald and shaven heads,
Utonsured priests of restless sinners beds.
Thou art too soon.
Wait till our flesh be cooked to suit to taste,
Lest thou regret it.
forbear this greedy and unseemly haste;
thou 'rt out of season, wanton and unchaste,
And don't forget it!
Wait, fell destroyer of our slumber sweet,
- Till by-and-by;
iii Summer stirs our blood to fever heat,
And frenzy trails from thy persistent feet.
Thou art too fly.
