Your First Vote.
Robert Burdette,

My son, you will cast your first vote
for president next November. I don't
want to influence your vote. I don't
because certain other men do. I want
you to sit down and think about it be-
fore you vote. Iwant you 20 be able to
give o reason for your vote. I want
you to go to the polls in good company.
AS o young man of progressive ideas, I
want you to be abreast of the world and
shoulder to shoulder with the times
when you walk up to the polls. want
you, on entering politics, to align with
the party that has the purest, most pro-
gressive record. I don't care a cent,
my boy, whether you are Republican
or Democrat. There are honest men,
patriotic citizens, good Christians in
both parties. Only, [ don't want to see
you walk up to the polls and cast your
first vote with the party
That upheld human slavery as divine
institution;
That bought and sold men, women,
and babies like SO many mules;
That fred on Fort Sumter and the
American flag;
That for nearly five years fought to
destroy the Union;
That opposed the issue of greenbacN
when the government was fairly perish
ing for want of them;
That organized mobs and riots to OPP
pose the draft;
That swept American commerce from
the seas with armed pr1vateers;
That is the party of Boss Tweed and
Jefferson Davis:
That polls its heaviest maiorities in
the most vicious and ignorant precincts !;
That is the strongest in the states
where the percentage of illiteracy is
greatest;
That has opposed every liberal and
progressive measure in legislation dur
ing the last quarter of century;
That was the defender of slavery;
That is the defender of Mormonism !;
That slandered Garfield; and
That assassinated Lincoln.
Now, as [ said before, my son, don't
care whether you are a Republican or
Democrat, Choose for yourself. Just
keep away from the crowd whose record
I have very briefly outlined. Find the
party to whom this record belongs, and
then forever keep away from it. You
need not be particular with which party
you unite, if you don't join that one.
Always vote against that party and you
viii always vote about right. [ am a
Republican, but will shake hands with
fraternal love with any Democrat who
votes against that record. That kind
of Democrat is always good enough
Republican for me.
P. ST. have never found that kind

An INSPIRING Document,
From the Chicago Inter Ocean, |

from the Chicago Inter ocean,
Mr.. Blaine's letter is not merely 1umi-
nous; it is food of golden sunshine
it is life radiant, health exuberant, hope
triumphant, vigor made self-conscious.
Every man who reads it carefully will
feel inspired by it. Every man who is
politically sick or infrm and is worthy
to recover will find health in it. The
calm splendor of the rising day drives
before it ali enemies by the simple
power of light. So, Mr.. Blaine's letter
comes with the serene and silent
power of sunrise. The issues it pre-
sents had in some degree often before
been presented, but here they are con-
verted into daylight. Other men have
urged the tariff question. Mr.. Blaine is
irresistible without urgency.

Moths.

Always in the spring, after beating,
cleaning, and a grand airing. take the
wooden clothes in while the sun is on
them, and put away, with as little fold
ing as possible, in large chests, lined
with thick paper, and plenty of gum
camphor in rather large pieces among
the layers. I hope to see the large
wooden chests for storage form part of
our outfits as they were of our grand
mothers. Boxes are much better to
keep clothes in than leather, trunks are,
and a set made of cedar, or lined with
the veneers of that wood, built very
large to receive clothes without much
folding, would be better than cedar
closets, especially if there is dry attic
to store them in. One chest for blank
cts, one for mems clothing, and one for
women's, should be part of the family
plenishing, and descend as heirlooms
after the sensible custom of our ances-
tors. Furs keep best in the new bar
rels made from paper pulp, which can
be sealed up to wholly exclude moths.
If you must store them without any
such convenience, beat them thoroughly
on the inside, brush the fur well, put
into clean large paper bag which you
get from the grocefs, with Jumps of
camphor in the pockets and folds, and
paste the top of the bag closely. Keep
each article so sealed, in separate
bag, in box or trunk This work
should always be. done as soon as you
are through wearing furs and woolens.
Moths seldom attack things in constant
use, but seize their chance if articles
are left in closet or trunk for fort
night unguarded. Don't leave your
winter dresses and the boys clothes
hanging in unused closets or the attic,
half the summer. Beside moths, the
ants, wasps, and flies will gnaw holes
in them, dust gathers, and light fades
them. The waste of clothes comes
nearly as much from neglect as from
use.-Wide AlUGke.

TYPOGRAPHICAL errors, as general
thing. are not calculated to enhance the
value of publications of any kind, but
the Lenox Library, in New York City,
has in it's poss sssion two Bibles which
are priced by collectors as much for the
quaint error that occurs in the printing
as for their antiquity. They are known
as the "Wicked Bibles" One is an En-
glish version, bearing London date of
1881. and the other is German edition
published century ago. The curiosity,
which is the same in both of them, con-
sists in the comical omission of the word
"not" in the seventh commandment.
Both are perfect, however, in other re-
spects.

A Free Ballot and a Fair Count.
from The CHICAGO Journal.3

The Democratic party can give some
assurance that it's platform is an honest
one by securing free ballot and fair
count in those localities where it's power
is undisputed. Democratic violence
and fraud alone interfere in any part of
the country with the freedom and fair
ness of the elections. They promise
that it shall cease. The result will
demonstrate the honesty of their pro-
LESSONS. A fair election and an honest
count of the votes are an assurance OF a
Republican victory.

Exit, the Dude.

The time has come for the departure
of the Dude. He has had his little reign,
has been popular, ridiculed, black
guarded and thrashed. He has been
portrayed in books, on the stage, and
pictured in every illustrated magazine
or newspaper in America Odes have
been written about him. His tight
trousers, toothpick shoes, bell crowned
hat, towering collars and short coats
have been written up and written down
until they have become famous. A
change is slowly taking place. The
collar became lower for time and
then turned over at the edges in
front. The coat became longer, the
hat more like a stovepipe in form
and the boots broadened at the toe.
The Dude, who was the acme of fash
ion year ago, now proves to be in
bad form. He must change the fashion
of his attire or be relegated to the
rear ranks. The drab colored coat
which was the Dudes special glory
and delight year ago, is now so very
much out of the style that it must
either be thrown aside or dyed in
anticipation of springtime. No one
can view the fall of the Dude with any,
thing but satisfaction. Of all the
swells, he has been the most nause-
ating. The old fashioned fop was a
creature of gorgeous plumage. He
may have been effeminate and silly,
but his attire was brilliant and his
manner gentle. The swell who came
later was high liver, a good fellow
and bustling, busy and happy man of
fashion. But the Dude was silly,
simple, negative, disagreeable, shy,
reserved and stupid creature, His
parallel was never before seen in the
history of the world. Brooklyn Eagle.
