THE FUNCTIONS OF PARTIES.


 We proudly call ours a government by the people. It is not such when class is toler- eted which arrogates to itself the manage ment of public affairs, seeking to control the people instead of representing them. Par ties are the necessary outgrowth of our insti- tutions; but government is not by the peo- pie when party fastens its control upon the country and perpetuates it's power by cabling and betraying the people instead of serving them. A government is not by the people when result which should represent the intelligent will of free and thinking men is, or can be determined by the shameless corruption of their sufrages. When an elec- tion to office shall be the selection by the voters of one of their number to assume for a time public trust instead of his dedica- tion to the profession of politics, when the holders of the ballot, quickened by sense of duty, shall avenge truth betrayed and pledges broken, and when the suffrage shall be alto gether free and uncorrupted, the full realiza- tion of government by the people will be at hand
 THE PRESIDENT SHOULD NOT BE REFLECTED
 And of the means to this end, not one would in my judgment be more effective than an amendment to the constitution dis qualifying the President for reelection. When we consider the patronage of this great office, the allurements of power, the tempta- tion to retain public place once gained, and more than all the availability party finds in an incumbent when horde of ofice-h holders with zeal born of benefits received, and fostered by the hope of favors yet to come, stand ready to aid with money and trained political service, we recognize in the eligibili ty of the President for reelection a serious danger to that calm, deliberate and intelli- gent political action which must characterize government of the people.

THE DIGNITY OF LABOR.

A true American sentiment recognizes the dignity of labor and the fact that honor lies in honest toil Contented labor is an element of national prosperity. Ability to work constitutes the capital and the wage of labor, the income of vast number of our popula- ton, and this interest should be jealously protected. Our workingmen are not asking unreasonable indulgence, but as intelligent and manly citizens they seek the same con sideration which those demand who have other interests at stake. They should receive their full share of the care and attention of those who make and execute the laws to the end that the wants and needs of the employ CTS and the employed shall alike be suhserved and the prosperity of the country, the com mon heritage of both, be advanced.

PROTECTION AGAINST IMPORTED LABOR.

FhO16CA4ON AOA1NSA AHADOh.
 As'related to this subject, while we should not discourage the immigration of those who come to acknowledge allegiance to our gov ernment and add to our citizen population, yet as means of protection to our working men different rule should prevail concern ing those who if they come, or are brought to our land, do not intend to become Ameri- cans, but will injuriously compete with those justly entitled to our fields of labor. In let ter accepting the nomination to the office of Governor nearly two years ago made the following statement to which have steadily adhered: ''The laboring classes constitute the main part of our population. They should be protected in their efforts peaeeably to assert their rights when endangered by aggregated capital, and all statutes on this subject should recognize the care of the State for honest toll and be framed with a view of improving the condition of the workingman." :" A proper regard for the welfare of the work
 ingman being inseparably connected with the integrity of our institutions none of our citizens are more interested than they in guarding against any corrupting influences which seek to pervert the benefcent pur

Gibson gave his theory of the prosecution
as follows: "tn the first place the investi-

seemed to. be to get as much IS possible
into the newspapers. the result was to

fact that the gentleman who succeeded

Gibson; when man gets more than 5000

Over Two Elephants who Run Asuca
Through the Streeis of kcnt.
LONDON, March 10. - While the ami
mails belonging to Sanger's menagerie
were being removed from the train at the
depot of the town of Kent two elephants,
becoming alarmed at the whistling of the
engines, broke loose, and careered wildly
through the streets, breaking the massive
gates of the depot and attacking three
persons, two of whom were seriously in
jured. They finally entered a cM de sac, and
made their way into house, the flooring
of which gave way, aud the animsls were
precipitated into the cellar, from which,
after several hours work, they were
drawn by other elephants. There was the
widest excitement upon the streets.
