A Straw Party And what, do you
ask, is straw party? Well, il is something
new under the sun For the information of
our readers, and especially our young ladies
and gentlemen, we will give them an idea of
this novel means of enjoyment A straw
party is nothing more than its name implies
A time is fixed upon, and place appointed
at which 10 hold the party. The place is
usually some wooded nook in the country,
on ii plateau IN the bank of stream of
water, shaded with trees, under whose over
spreading branches the company can dis
port themselves at pleasure. Then wagon
is secured, the bed Of which is filled with
straw, upon which the party sit, the horses
attached lo the wagon, four, six or eight in
number, as may he determined on, arc hand
somely decorated with long rye straw, while
those composing the company have straw
bonnets and hats, with other straw orna-
ments In this way they ride to the place
appointed, where the enjoyments are SINH
lar 10 those Of any other picnic. These
straw parties are all the rag1 and are enjoyed
by the young people to their hearts content

Concerning the late story about
Senator Vest making application for
Senator Pendleton's desk before
there was any certaity that the lat
ter would ,acate it, the Missouri
statesman says it wasn't so. He says
he was DIE day growing at the VEN
cradle doorkeeper, Bass tt, over his
assignment to the poorest seat in the
Chamber, when Bassett, suggested
that he file an application for Pen
dleton's seat which was a capital
enc, in the event of his defeat. Vest
said that he couldn't do such a thing,
as Pendleton was his friend, and
then he went to Pendleton ard told
him and Garland the story. Garland
saw a chance for some fun at Bassett's
expense, and suggested to Pendleton
that he go to Bassett with an offend
ed air and protest vehemently against
any such distribution of his estate
before his death. This Pendleton
did with such effect that Bassett was
terribly worried and spent the rest
of the day running back and forth
between Vest and Pendleton, making
explanations and apologies.

The New York Times (Rep.) says:
The tariff is a, business question. It
does not follow because action must
be taken upon it that that action
must be either toward absolute free
trade or toward the maintenance of
protection. AS it stands, the tariff
is unequel; it is moderate as to some
articles and oppressive as to others;
it is a tariff for revenue as to some,
protective as to others, and as to a
large number of articles it is simply
absurd ard stupid x 4. If the
Democrats in the House and the Re
publicans in the Senate would treat
the matter from a Business point of
view, they would show their wisdom
and their patriotism, and could very
safely ignore the captious criticism
of purely partisan journals OF either
side.

New York Sun: Mr.. William Ma
homes sense of humor will be great
ly tickled by the resolution which
Gen. Newberry of the Virginia St: tie
Senate is trying to press through that
body. Gen. Newberry was formerly
an adherent of the little boss, but
was converted some time ago, and is
now able to take an impartial view
of the eminent Readjuster. This i'm
partial view doesn't seem to be a
favorable one. Gen. Newberry thinks
that Mr.. Malone is not a credit to
Virginia, and he is trying to induce
the State Senate to ask Mr.. Malone
to resign. From what is known of
the senior Virginian Senator's shrink
ing modesty and Difference to pub
lie opinion, it is safe to predict that
he will leave the Senate when his
term expires, ifhe can't be reelected.
If he should go the Republicans
would be lonely without him.

The financial system of a country
compreheEds not only the means of
raising the revenues, but also the
disbursement Of them in the admin
istration of the government, and
this taxes the utmost skill and re-
sources of craftsmanship. While the
government has to be supported in
the discharge of appropriate func-
tions, the burdens imposed upon the
people should be made as light and
as easy as practicable. And herein
lies the perfection of civil govern
ment. An economical administra-
ton of the public affairs, willie afford
ing complete protection to every
man in his rights of person and of
property, accomplished the strictly
legitimate purpose of civil govern
ment. And whenever the govern
ment travels out of this sphere to
enter in speculative projects, ostenta
tious grandeur, useless wars, or aids
to individual enterprise, it taxes the
masses of thes people for the benefit
of a few. The wisdom of a govern
ment is best shown by u stlict ad-
herence to its only true objects, and
the faithful protection of the rights
and liberties of the people. This best
advances the public welfare, and lays
the foundation of the greatness of a
nation. The Democratic party will
administer the government nearest
on this principle.

Since the Republican party intro
duced the use of money into politics
as a meanso of procuring nominations,
and for the last twenty years have
successfully practiced it from the
purchasing of the Presidency and The
buying of nominations for United
States Senators down to the buying
of nominations for county Offices, and
even the buying and bulldozing of
the votes of the people at the polls,
it is perhaps true that the idea of
purity in politics has become an cob
solete" one, especially among. the
practical politicians, who think they
must have a machine and money to
grease it with. Even the people,
Judging by their permission of it,
seem to think there's nothing wrong
about it. But il is wrong. neverthe-
less, and there are thousands upon
thousands of good men who think so,
especially in the Democratic party,
and who will never approve Of, or
submit to it, least of all in the Dem

Tariff! Tariff! has been the cry of
Demagogues and hypocrites in this
nation for years, and under the false
hoods that a High Protective Tariff
would furnish good wages and steady
employment to Laboring men, the
Republican party has been success
full in securing the reins of govern
ment, and administering public
affairs in the interest of corruption
and capital! The present condition
of the Laboring-men of this country
will open their eyes to the deceit and
hypocrisy of Republican politicians,
and prove to Iaborers that for their
protection and benefit, their is no
virtue in q High Protective Tariff,
and that the promises of men who
wanted votes for the prosperity OF
rings and syndicates and capitalists,
were made only to deceive! The
enormity of the ~falsehoods of Repub-
lican leaders in regard to the effects
of a Tariff are now exposed, and in

ployment, the winter of 1884 vii

refutation of these Republican false
hoods. It was wicked and inhumar
for these Tariff howlers to lie to La
boring men as they did, but Repub
lican politicians have always gon'
on the practice that the end justifei
the means, and they did not car,
how much labor suffered, so that the,
could grow rich at the expense of tn

lection which protected only capital

AYERS PILLS.

a large proportion of the diseases which
cause human suffering result from derange-
ment of the stomach, bowels, and liver.
AYERS CATuARTIC PILLS act directly upon
these organs, and are especially designed to
cure the diseases caused by their derange-
ment, including Constipation, Indiges-
ton, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery,
and a host of other ailments, for all of
which they are a safe, sure, prompt, and
pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these
PILLS by eminent physicians in regular prae-
ticc, shows Enthusiastically the estimation in
which they are held by the medical profess
sion.
These PILLS are compounded of vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from
caiomel or amy other injurious ingredient.
A Sufferer from Headache writes:
AYERS PILLS are invaluable to me, and
are my constant companion. l nave been
a severe sufferer from Headache, and your
PILLS are the only thing l could look to
for relief. One dose will quickly move my
bowels and free my head from pain. They
