Mr.. Arthur says in his message to
congress: :-"Much anxiety has lately
been displayed by various European
governments, and especially by the gov
ernment of Italy, for the abolition of
our import duties on works of art. 1t
is well to consider whether the
present discrimination in favor of
the productions of American ar
fists abroad is not likely to result,
as they themselves seem very generally
to believe it may, in the practical exclu-
sion of our painters and sculptors from
the rich fields for occupation, study and
labor which they have hitherto enjoy
ed Certainly; anybody with half all
eye can see all this, and American az
lists abroad, whether republicans OF
democrats, have united in denouncing
the barbaric attempt to protect them,
but republican stupidity at home has
so far been too much for them. Those
persons who persist in alleging tina,

President Arthur says:-"It affords
me pleasure to say that our intercourse
with Great Britain continues to be of q
most friendly character" The idiots
who allege that everybody in this coun-
try who advocates fresr trade is an
ally of Great Britain had better jump
OH Mr.. Arthur's stomach with both
feet, and properly punish him for the
above traitorous expression. What
right has Mr.. Arthur to be pleased at
being upon friendly terms with the
beastly English.

The United States and Russia are
engaged in vigorous protest against
the proposed increase of the French
duty on wheat. Johnny Crapeaud
twirls his mustache and laughs while
he complaisantly says: "Well, what
will you have, gentlemen; we are but
taking leaf out of your own book on
political economy" Truly, it was high
time to show the republican party the

The Old Farmhouse.
BY ELLEN p. ALLHRToE.

A crystal spring, sunny hill,
A gray old house with mOssy sill.
Hemmed in by orchard trees.
With massive trunks and age untold,
Whose luscious fruit. like mounds of gold
When autumn nights grow crisp and cold.
Lay htapgd about their knees.
And when the trees, bare, gsunt and grim,
Tossing ulOit each naked limb,
Breasted he Sleety ram:
When summer sounds we've heard no more,
When the birds have sought southern shore
When flowers lay dead about the door,
And winter re:Yned again.
Then met the household band beside
A clean-swep, hearth, a chimney wide,
Where roared maple fire.
When all the streams were fettercd fast,
When aercely blew the wIntry blast,
And clouds OF snow went whirling past,
The logs were pileu the higher.
How fondly memory recalls
The cheer within those cid gray walls,
Beside that shining hearth.
o. peaceful scene OF calm content!
When happy faces came and went
And heart with heart was closely blent,
In sadness as in mrth!

Deep In some book; the glowing fire

Mr.. Cleveland will be an important
man in the eyes of the army. Accord
ing to the Washington Capital he will
have the appointment of two major
generals and six brigadier generals.
Brigadier- General Augur, who now
commands the department OF the Mis-
souri,, retires next July, and it will de-
pend wholly on the personal wish of
the president, after being advised by
the secretary of war and the lieutenant
general, what colonel shall succeed
him. A year later will occur the re-
tirement Of General Pope, and then
the question will be whether General
Terry or General Howard shall be the
next major-general. Whoever ic pro-
noted there will be vacant brigadier-
generalcy. Major-General Hancock
will retire in February, 1888, opening
the way to the promotion of still an
other bri gadier general.

THE PARTY OF ILLITERAOY.
From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch. !

AS the controversy over the demo-
cratic majorities in the illiterate states
is not yet closed, we may state pro-
position which may make the contro-
versy more clearly understood. That
is that if 10 citizen were allowed to
vote unless he was able to read and
write, the Republican popular vote
would be cut down at least million.
Which is the illiterate party.

The capstone of the Washington
Monument at the capitol was placed in
position last Saturday with appropriate
ceremonies. The monument was COM
menced years ago, under democratic
auspices, and 1t is fitting that its compile

The tariff question can be summarize
ed in very few words: The republi-

few, cormorant manufactures has been
willing in their behalf to levy toll upon
every other industry. The democratic
party proposes to administer the gov
ernment with fairness to all, but with
special privileges to none.

President Arthur wants to see ou

But what has depressed it? In old
democratic days our merchant marine
was only second to that of England, il
indeed it was even second to hers. The
democratic party will bring it out if it
only has fair chance, but to do it, it
must remove all the nonsensical ham,
pering legislation that republicans have
unwisely thrown around it.

Reveille.
BY WILLIAM WAKEFIELD.

The golden gates Of morn are wide:
On every blade the deWs are bright;
The azure veil ls drawn to hide
The awful glories of the night:
The roses each to each have told,
Another sun will soon be seen;
And shall not my light behold?
Make day for me-come forth. my Queen.
The tale the river told all night
Has taken now gladder strain:
The flowers, as eager for thy sight,
With odors seek thy window-pane;
The jasmine tells thee, Light is come,
And waves across the lattice screen;
And shall thy voice be longer dumb2
Make music for my heart, my Queen.
In shade a. yet. the eastern hill
Stands sharp against the yellow sky,
The purple woods are sleeping still.
And white mists In the valley lie;
But westward slopes are all awake
With change and play of softer green,
o, Love, my summer morning make,
IT'S time for day-shine forth, my Queen

OF the 110, 900 persons i'll the civil
employ of the government $4,000 are
protected from removal by the civil
service laws. These are included in
three classes, to-wit: 1852 department
employees, receiving from 5000 to ST., 800
per annum, and 5099 postal employees,
receiving from $500 to 81 300 per an
mum, and 2573 customs employees, re-
ceiving from 5000 to 81 800 per annum.
Of the remaining $4,000 more than
half are postmasters; 1000 are in the
railway mail service, and 1000 more
are in the internal revenue service. The
remaining thirty-six thousand are
made up of heads of departments and
bureaus, officers of customs, chief
clerks, deputy collectors and superin-
tendents or chiefs of divisions of
bureaus, s'laborers," messengers, per-
sons employed in the secret service of
the government, or as translators, in
terpreters or stenographers, etc. The
clerks at Washington, are of course,
an anxious set nowadays. Their fears
of removal have, however, been quieted
to some extent, by assurances, purport.
ing to be sanctioned by president-eleet
Cleveland, that most of them will be
allowed to keep their place. Few Of
the 81, 200, $1,4OO, $1,000 and $1,000
clerks, it is said, will be molested. But
the heads of departments will have to
go and the political "strikers." The
postmasters throughout the country
are generally getting ready for decapi-
tation. Custom house collectors and
postmasters, however, will not, e1-
cept for cause, be likely to be removed
until their commissions expire. The
probability is that there will not be
half as unseemly a rush for offices as
would have ensued had Mr.. Blaine
been elected, as Mr.. Cleveland's views
regarding the matter are we'll known.
Those who are the most "prevous," so
to speak, are apt to "get left"

| Governor Cleveland was aSk2d Dy an
associated press reporter if he was
aware of the delusion among the col
ored people of the south, that the change
in the administration would unfavora-
bly, affect their condition. Governor
Cleveland replied: eyes, have been
astonished at the statement that there
was an apprehension existing among
the colored people that in some way
their rights, now secured to them un-
der the laws and constitution of the
United States, were in danger from the
election of democratic president. I
am even told that some Of them are led
to suppose the result of the recent elec-
ton, means that they may be again
made slaves. All this has app cared to
me to be SO absurd, and have been so
sure that the slightest intelligent refiec-
ton would dislodge such foolish fears,
that l can hardly deem any notice
of them necessary, but there is not the
slightest objection to calling the atten-
ton of all who are in the least uneasy,
or uncertain upon this subject, to the
fact that the title of colored people to
freedom and all the rights of citizenship.
cannot be disturbed, except by a
change in the constitution, which it
would be absolutely impossible to effect.
Besides the present condition of the
colored people has been so fully
accepted by the entire country. that
no one should have the slightest idea
that any attempt will be made to
change it, if there was any possibility
of accomplishing such thing. So far
as the new administration is related to
this subject, the whole country can be
sure that the power and Jurisdiction of
the executive will be so exercis-
ed, that the rights OF all citizens,
white or black, under the constitution
and law will be preserved and protec-
ted land all the advantages to which they
are entitled by reason of their citizen
ship will be secured to them. There
need be no fear that either the demo-
cratic party or its newly elected ad-
ministration proposes to oppress or en-
slave any part of our population, nor
to destroy the business interests of the
country. We hope, on the other hand,
to do something to benefit the people.
1t seems to me that our efforts in that
direction would be aided, if mischiev-
GUS croaking and dark implication
should give place to all earnest endeav-
or to inspire confidence, to make uni
versal cheerful hope for the future"
