not control numerical adherence
sufficient to defeat Grover Cleveland
when he stands before the country as
! a convicted and confessed DESTROYER of
cOnfiding woman, and the progenitor
of a son from whom he has continued
for many years to withhold the birth
right of calling him father, then more
shame to that party which once held
the allegiance of an overwhelming ma
.iority of the best and purest minded
voters of the nation, but which is now
in abject fear lest it be defeated by
such leader of an opposing party.
The issues of the campaign, so far
as they involve the worthiness of the
republican party to the support of pro-.
hibitionists, have not changed by the
revelations in regard to Grover Cleve-
land. The christian voter can hardly
find warrant to change his course of
action to support a wrong because
another wrong appears in view as the
alternate result, nor is he ever called
upon to violate his conscience to re-
buke wrong. Where wrong exists, the
responsibility is upon those who sup
port it upon any preteXt, and only
those are guiltless who refrain from
completely in its support. And what
ever consequences may result from the
independent action of prOhibitionists
in this campaign their responsibilities
are only for ii right exercise of their
suffrage right in the fear of God.
Probably many a timid prohibitiOnist
will forget for the time being that God
still reigns and will take care of the
results, whatever they may be, and
will put out his frail hand to guide the
Ark of Ged in the emergency. But we
are content to follow our conscience
and trust him to over-rule the re-
sults.-f Vermont Christian Messenger.

Now, do not mean that the United
States shall stand up to he counted il
any such a future. If the United
States has nothing else it has achieved
the independence of American manu-
| facture.
There is one other thing of which
| want to say word. There isn't an
independent in this country, yong OF
Old, who can honestly show that he
believes Grover Cleveland can be
elected without the forty votes OF
Louisiana, Mississippi, Virginia and
South Carolina; and there isn't man
in this country so blind that he doesn't
know. that those votes cannot be
counted for Grover Cleveland unless
wrested from the majority in those
states by the democratic minority by
murder and fraud. Now, how idle.
how wicked, to tell us, when we call
the attention of the American people
to these facts, that we are waving the
blOodyashiEt. We are told that those
things are sporadic, and that the best
men or the south don't approve of
them. The best men at the sOnth tlo
not approve of them, the best men of
the south are their victims. We are
talking of the methods by which the
presidency is to be obtained and we
wish to submit to American freemen
whether they will give their counte-
nance to such methods. As our presi-
dent has so well said, whenever the
democratic party is dead fair elections
will prevail throughout the American
continent. We have tried to do this
thing without interfering with the
freedom of local elections of which the
north as well as the south is justly sen-
sitive. We have to some extent failed,
but we have ut least guarded hither
to. The democrats have had the house
of representatives for the past eight
years out of the last twelve, and there
was substantially and practically a tie
i'll the senate but we have kept the
supreme prize of the presidency from
being the spoil of such a victory as
this.
Now, | wish to put this proposition
to any young independent friend who
may have any regard for my opinion.
You are not voting for Gov. Cleveland,
and you cannot hope to be joining
party you are not helping to elect a
president; you are simply aiding a
conspiracy which is to take possession
of the supreme executive Office. The
republican party-we have kept the
house of the constitution in its citadel
safe from this burglary, and now, our
young Independent friends who are
leaving us are simply drawing the
bolts of the doors and the windows
and trying to poison the Watchdog.
Now, my friends, don't believe, who
ever else may falter, that the men of
Massachusetts, the men who do our
work i'll factory and on farm, the men
who work and the men who think, are
about to abandon the republican party
i'll a crisis like this. They will meet
the bourbonism and the slave-holding
element ut the south with Il constancy
equal to its own, and they never will
abandon the republican party till these
things are over. Until then your place
is ut the right of the great republican
party of the country, as of old, to lead
it in the coming battle to glory and to
' lot

Advantages Of Deafness.

Thomas A. Edison, the inventor, is
quite deaf. Instead, however. of be
moaning his iniirmity he firmly de-
clares that he would not be cured for
$4,000, because he escapes all that
which is not worth hearing. He gets
rid of bores, who get tired before he
is talked to death he does not have
to sit all day with his ear mt the tcle-
phone; he cannot serve on a jury; in
case of war he is exempt from the
draft he can't hear the rumble of cars
or carts, or piano playing, or political
speeches, or cats on the roof, or II man
when he wants to borrow money, or
prosy sermons. He misses the theatre
all plays are mere spectacles to him
but all things considered he thinks
the advantages more than outweigh
the disadvantages, and perhaps he is
right Philadelphia Record.

and of the eight senators who began
their first term of service on that day
Willard Salisbury is the only survi-
vor. Robert ToOmbs and James Ches-

Judah p. Benjamin began a new term
in the senate March 4, 1859, but was
not sworn until the following day. lie

The MASON N HAMLIN ORGAN AND PIANO
VohrANr have Just issued their nav catalogue
for the season of lss4-5, ID forms a hand
some '4to pamphlet OF forty-six pages, and
contains illustrations accurately showing the
appearance OF all the styles of organs regu.
larry made by them, with detailed descrip-
lions OF the capacity OF each; together with
quite full mention Of the general modes Of
construction employed and the great favor
with which the organs have boon received all
over the world with accounts of their
riumphs at all the great comparisons 81
such instruments at Worlds Industrial Ex-
hibitions for many years; with pictures Of
medals, decorations. and diplomas of honor
obtained.
In looking over such a catalogue one il for
ofbly reminded OF the magnitude which the
business OF reed instruments has attained
Twenty five years since only asfew were
made, under the name ''melodeons," which
had not and did not deserve much favor with
musicians, enjoying very limited sale, at
prices varying from $40 to SIPS Now So
900 organs are made yearly in the United
States, which are sold IN all civilized coun-
tries at prices from $22 to s., 600 or more
This at least may be said TO any purchaser
OF Mason & Hamlin organ he will unques
tionably get the very best instrument of its
class Which can be made. Thirty years ex-
perience rs guarantee N what this company
can and will DIG, They CANNOT afford TO send
out poor organs
The present catalogse' shows AN increased
and very complete assortment, both as to
cases and capacities. 1t will be sent free, TO
any one desiring TO see it, on application to

The Palaces Of the Bosphorus.

When we had moved out from the
CLOVER BRIDGE into the stream, writes
correspondent from Constantinople,
could see the principal residence of the
Sultan, the Dolmabagtche palace. This
is really an elegant structure, invitingly
white and clean, right at the very shore
of the Bosphorus. 1t stretches along the
stony quay for long distance, Enclosed
with graceful fence, which. possesses a
really magnificent gate in the rear. But
the sultan has long since abandoned this
and all the rest OF his charming palaces
that fringe the picturesque shores of the
Bosphorus. He spends his time in the
palace of 'Yildis, which is high up be,
hind Dolmabagtche, on the very brow q
the hill. This is very decent establish.
ment, but it has frowning aspect when
seen in the same picture with graceful
Dolmabagtche. 1t is an immense oblong,
with, / believe, six vast towers, ranged
fouy at the corners and two in the center
of the longer sides. The Bosphorus pal
aces are seldom used, except when royal
guests are quartered in them. Then the
Bosphorus is gay with gorgeous galleys,
and melodious with the strains of Or
chestral music.
At intervals north of the Dolmabagt.
che are attractive two and three story
palaces, along the quay, in front of which
sentinels pace, and in which pale faced
eunuchs serve. These are tue headqpar-
tiers of the royal harem, q large and i'm
