They say the brunettes are arch coauettes,
That they break tho hearts that love them,
But eyes of blue arc tender and true
As the sky that bends above them.
All! but you will find Love ia color-blind
And he comes with as little warning
To hearts that lie back of eyes of black
As Of those that are blue as the morning.
For he comes and goes as the free wind blows,
That asks not, as it passes,
II it touches the head Of the roses red,
Or the violets Town in the grasses.
So the coqueties are not the brunettes,
Nor the maidcns with golden tresses;
They are those unto whom Love never has come
With his kisses and fond caresses.

Gentlemen,s Hats.

"The styles in gentlemon's hats" said
o halter in answer to a reporter of the
New York Mail and Express, differ
very little from those of last winter.
The crown Of the Derby i. higher and
the CURL and the brim are both fatter.
In silk hats the bell is lighter and the
brim is more open, smaller and more
coarsely rolled. The Fedora and Al
pine, the soft hats. are not worn so
much. Black is the prevailing color
and the silk hat is the only dressy hat.
There is no difference between the young
mans hat and the old mans hat, except
that the latter has q wider brim. One
can hardly say that is true, either, for
the old men are getting quite juvenile
in their tastes. Before long they will
be the only ones wearing the narrow
brim high hat.

TEE recent riot at Allapaha, Georgia,
to suppress which troops were called out
by the Governor, was good example
of the way stories Of negro uprisings
travel over the country. The ringing of
bells and beating of drums by the drum
corps in the town of Albany called the
members of the local company to their
hall. There were rumors at once of a
negro rising, which were heightened by
the receipt of a dispatch from the Gov
ernor ordering the troops to go to ALA
paha A telegram from the Mayor of
that place was to the effect that though
intense excitement prevailed. no attack
was expected until daylight. 1t was the
impression in Albany that the rioters
were mainly colored, though there was
not the slightest basis for such an i'm
preston in the reports; there were hun
dreds of volunteers, and every prepara-
tion was made for bloody time. All
this occupied a great deal of space in the
newspapers, which devoted very little
space the next morning to telling that
the whole trouble grew out of the arrest
of white desperate, who with twenty
five desperate companions took posses
sion of the town for time. And this
was Just all there was of the negro up
rising.

Prohibition and Temperance.

So highly esteemed divine as DR..
Howard Crosby, of New York, condemns
the policy of the Prohibitionists in re-
fusing to accept of a small measure of
form because they cannot at once obtain
all they ask. He says: THE tetotallers
are excellent people so far as their in
tentiOns go, but all the same they are the
great blocks in the way of temperance
reform, and they have killed every sen
sible temperance measure that has been
brought forward in the last five years
DR.. Crosby favors high license in New
York. and supports the Roosevelt bill
now before the Legislature at Albany
One reason he gives why this bill should
be passed is the reason liqnor seller
gave him why it should not be passed
He says: "A few weeks ago. in Albany
the chief of the liquor sellers, Adolph
Nelson, admitted to me that the Roose
welt bill would at once close half the
saloons of the city, and, ultimately, three
quarters Of them. He objected to the
bill on the ground that the Legislature
had no right to deprive so many usefu
men of a chance to make ah honest
living" ~

Mr.. MOrrisOn's Report.

The report of Chairman Morrison, in
nothing more nor less than an argument
fora revOnue tariff, and against what
Free Traders are accustomed TO de-
nounce as the iniquities of the protec-
tive system. As an excuse for putting
wood, sawed lumber, coal and salt on
the free list, it is simply claimed that
the revenue is not needed, and that all
the revenue cut off by the proposed bill
ESTIMATED at about S31,OOO,OOOJ will go
directly into the pockets of consumers,
and that the indirect relief will be in
largely increased proportions.
The majority report is careful to re-
hearse all the old arguments in favor of
free trade'as against protection. 1t IS
pointed out that while the rates of du-
ties were increased on some articles and
reduced on others under the tariff act of
March, 1888, there has been no increase
in the rates of wages. but reduction
even in those branches ef manufacture
which received higher protection. 1t is
also asserted that the calamity of a four
months stOppage in the iron and steel
industries fell upon the workers and
mot upon the capital invested. In d
word, the committee declare that 1.-THE
calamity of frequently recurring indus
trial embarrassment and enforced idle
ness is inseparable from the enOrmities
of our protective system. and that tie
calamities of such syftems always fan
upon the laboring poor"
This staple free-trade argument is
most admirably met and answered in
report of the minority, which points out,
as noteworthy fact, that not a single
interest in tue United States has pe,i
toned for this proposed reduction, By
which the "iabOring poor are To be so
largely benefited while, on the other
hand, every interest, manufacturing. Ia
boring and agricultural, has protested
most earnestly against having this
prosperity % thrust upon chem.
The only "interestss that appeared in
support of the proposed reduction were
the Free Trade Clubs of New York and
Brooklyn; but they, not content to i'm
part half blessing to ths "labOring
poor" of the United States, went to the
extent of urging the abolition of all pro-
tectiye duties. These are pregnant facts,
and carry with them their own COM
ments
1t only remains now to be seen what
the Democratic House will do with the
Democratic "reVenue reform" measure.
1t must either vote it up or down

IT is not too early to begin to loOk up
the details by which each agricultural
society hopes to improve its fair for

not feeling of this kind had better be
disOanded at once. as the country has no
use for it. AS to bow each society can
improve upon its previous record. this
is local matter, and usually dependent
upon circumstances which cannot well
be discussed in paragraph intended to-
be general in its application. But there
are certain general points which can
hardly come amiss anywhere, among
which are the following: (D Let the
organization be so formed and Differed
that tue management may fall upon

that premiums should be increased in

the expense of other departments, if ne
cessary for the fairs are few indeed in
which this adjustment is not quite fasl-
ty. A judiciOus consideration of the
resources Of the surrounding country
will frequently enable fair manager to
accomplish special good for themselves
and their neighbors. (3) A vigorous ef-
fort should be made to elevate the moral
tone of the fair. This is point Of tan

places indeed where close attention to it
is not clearly needed. Shut out the sale

THE Democracy in the Legislature
seem to have become desperate under
the pressure of the liquor interest for
the repeal of the Scott Law, and there
is Columbus rumOr that they have re
solved to make the rugged issue by the
repeal of the law. We have doubts
whether the Democracy will commit
suicide in that way. If the Scott Law
is repealed and the liquor men pay taxes
to the Democratic party instead of the
State, they will make an issue that will
be as speedily as possible decided against
them. There are many people who do
not think prohibition prohibits, and yet
do not believe that citizens engaged in
the liquor traffic should constitute them
selves ruling class and be so recognized.
One thing is perfectly clear before the
people of Ohio. 1t is that if the Scott
Law is repealed, or amended so as to be
unconstitutional, or is in any way seri
ously disturbed, the true meaning of the
disturbance will be not graded tax or
license system, but a resumption of
the riotous free trade in everything that
intoxicates; and that we believe the
people of Ohio will not have.-Cin. Com.

The catalogue of Joseph Harris con-
tains the following concerning early
celery: Last spring. about the middle of
March, put some sifted moss and sand
in box and watered it with warm
water. Then we put some celery seed
ON top, thick enough to cover the sur
face, and busted on a little dry moss and
sand as thick as thick paper. We kept
the box in a ware room, and occasionally
watered it. In about three weeks the
seed was nicely start d, and then, as
soon as the frost WIS out of the ground,
we made row in the garden and sOwed
the seed-moss and all, and covered Is
about quarter of an inch deep. From
this sprouted seed we got our earliest
and best plants. l propose to try how
the plan will work this spring on onions
asparagus. parsley and beet seed. L
know it will work in the case of aspar-
agus and beets, for have tried it.

THE Chicago Herald wishes to know
why the Democracy should dodge the
tariff issue, which it proRounces the only
One. Well, one reason why is, the Dem
ocratic party has not got any principles
relating to the tariff. Indeed, the Dem
ocratic party can not define itself on
more than tvs propositions. The first
is that the boss class of the South who
have politically subjugated the old
Southern Confederacy and hold it with
the shotgun, are entitled to rule the
whole United States because the con-
quest of the CoDfederacy by the National
arms was the defeat of the Democratic
party. The second is that the Demo
cratic party is entitled to all the offices
by reason of having the creates: hunger
for them, and to the distribution of the
surplus revenue among Democrats in
such way as to make 1.-The volume of
currency equal to the wants of trade.'-

| THE Democrats have been steadily
losing ground for more than year.
After the defeat of the Republicans in
the fall of 1882, they pulled themselves
together, and have advanced in good or
der, the Ohio defeat last fall being a
mere eddy in the current. and produc-
tive for the Democracy of false hopes
and fatal responsibilities.
The Republicans passed the revised
tariff bill, an imperfect measure, but
one that distinctly declared the will of
the people. This was National mat
ter, timely and useful, and the assaults
of the fantastic free-trade Democratic
orators upon it, have been continuous
and Intellectual.
In Ohio the Republicans grappled
with the liquor questions and produced
the Scott Bill, and the Democrats have
had as much trouble with it as the tar
iff of 1888. They make disturbance,
but they do no business.
The elections of November, 1888.
proved that the Republicans Of New
York could unite and carry the State,
and that the Democracy had had to do
murder enough in the disputed Southern
States to establish a reign of terror and
and maintain the Soldid South.
The Ohio Democrats having elected
their candidates for Governor and ma
jority of the Legislature, proceeded to
make Mr.. PayHe. Of Cleveland, the rich
est man of their party in the State, their
great leader, and thus to the extent OF
their ability contradicted the presump-
tion that the election of Carlisle meant
anything.
No day has passed without an event
that illustrated the fact that the De-
mocracy should not be, and were not
likely to be trusted with the National
Government.
Whether it was the concerted shoot
ing at Danville, the cold-hearted murder
at Copiah, the election OF Carlisle. the
election of Payne, the cry OF BLACKBURN
that Breckenridge had died in chains or
the boast of JEFF Davis that he never re-
pented, and that his sort OF Democracy
was about to navigate the ship OF staCe
the current history of the country has
told the people day by day that II Iney
want public safety they must not tlust
the Democratic party anywhere any
