Choice Selections.

The power Of choosing right or
wrong makes man a moral agent; his
actually choosing wrong makes him
sinner.-Lyman Beecher.
We sometimes congratulate. our
selves at the moment Of waking from a
troubled dream; 1t may be so after
death. Hawthorne.
Some people," says Alphonse
Karr, "are always finding fault with
nature for putting thorns on roses. i
always thank her for putting roses on
thorns."
The effect Of water poured on tho
roots Of a tree Is seen aloft in the
branches and fruit; 80 in the next world

The Christian at Work says that IAN

Is drawing vast multitudes TO the honest
and severe declaration Of Gospel truth

The habit Of faltering and disguis-

the edge Of q truth, instead OF showing
boldly the full face Of 1t, at last leads
men into an insincerity so habitual that
they really do not know when they
speak the truth or not.-Cdrdi1al Man

TO us that here or nowhere was to be
seen the noblest form OF humanity; and

crown. And what He, the first born

The Mulligan letters.
From the Philadelphia Press.
The malignants who glesfully shout
ed over the second installment OF the
Mulligan letters must be Inundated by
the miscarriage of this adrOitly laid
scheme. They have deliberately forced
these letters upon the attention Of bust
ness and professional meH and have led
them to ask il Mr.. Blaine's experience
does not tally at manv points with their
own, and If they have not met In their
careers many of the difficulties under
which he at one time laDOred. They see
that he embarked in the Little Rock and
Fort Smith enterprise after having
been lead to believe that it provided q
safe return for the money invested, and
that he showed still further faith in it
by advising his friends to buy its bonds.
They see also that, instead of becoming
suddenly rich out of the enterprise, as
his enemies have been eager to claim,
he was pressed severely for money and
ut one period he could raise $685. 900 only
with the greatest difficulty, and at an
eXOrbitant rate of interest. Again they
see him urging for a fulfllment of the
obligations due him, and struggling
manfully with the tolls which the mon
ey sharpers had woven about him. But,
even under these difficulties, they see in
Mr.. Blaine that rare and honorable trait
of a stronger desire to save his friends
from loss than to further his own pecu
MARY fortunes.

why Protection is Needed.

Mr.. A. II. Jones, of Philadelphia, In
the following terse manner sums up the
tariff question as it affects the wages Of
the wOrkingman: "The cost Of prOduc-
tion involves many items, such as cost
of raw materials, interest, taxes, cost to
build. equip, and repair factories, cost
of machinery, rate of wages, etc. You
may have free raw materials and cheap
capital; you may be able to make as
good articles, and you may not fear com ,
petitiOn-all things being equal; but
unless you have some special adyanta-
ges you must have as low wages as your
competitors, or you will have to give it
up. Competition must be met. Cur
rent prices must be accepted. No bust
ness if you are above the market, Con-
gressional oratOry is very fne-some-
times. Politicians may veRtilate their
knowledge Of wages and raw materials,
and cheap capital and rights of labor,
and the barbarity of employers and the
down trOdden farmers and all this sort
OF stuff, and they may make abominabls
tariff bills and do heap of mischief;
but when they adjourn, and the men
who have millions of dollars of capital
invested in manufacturing. and who
give employment to thousands Of work
men, get down to their work then must
come the practical part of the business.
A cold deliberate calculation OF cost is
then in order, The laws Of trade must
and will be observed in spite of all the
free traders who eyer lived, and with a
tariff for revenue 0nly-which means in
fact, free trads-will come low wages,
wages at about the European standard,
or the mill and factories and boundaries
will shut down, and there will be no
work at ALL"

principles ought not to be disregarded at

his immoral character and criminal

alize the minds Of our youth of both SEX

RESOLVED, That through the victims of
Grover Cleveland, the purity of woman
hood has received deadly blow. There
fore we call upon woman in every sta

The friends OF Blaine charge Mr.
Edmunds with having dabbled in
stocks aud bonds of a railroad which
obtained value by legislation promoted
by him. Mr.. Edmunds by implica-
cation admits the soft impeachment.
The friends of Edmunds charge Blaine
with the same crime. The friends of
Blaine plead guilty, but assert that
what Blaine did Edmunds did also.
There is no doubt that the charges
in both cases are strictly true. But
what good can be accomplished by
parading them before the public; If
the party was better than the culprits
in this case the public would be spared

the disgraccful retirement they de.
serve. 1t is the rule Of logic that

Pennsylvania Coal Production for
1883

There is a popular idea says the
Philadelphia Times that the bitumin.
Gus coal industry Of Pennsylvania,
being scattered over a much greater
extent Of territory, Is Of more value to
the state than the anthracite field.
Such, however, is not the case at pres.
cnt. The anthracite field Is confined
TO portions Of nine counties aud com.
priscs 80 collcrics, which employed
last year s. sos persons, to whom s33,.
597, 2j2 was paid in wages. The
mines we're worked an average of 81
days during the year and the output
was 80, ,l54. $40 tons Of coal. The bi.
luminous field in operation for the
same time comprised portions Of
twenty-five counties. The number Of
active collieries was 2Sl, employing
-, ,4jI men and boys, to whom sl7.-
0l4,62i were paid in wage The av.
erage number Of days the collicries
were in operation was 2O7 and the
output of coal amounted to 1929.
SIT tons This includes the amount
Of coal used by 10,Gl7 coke ovens in
the manufacture of 3.3s0.s72 tons Of
coke.
4 comparison Of these figure. dis.
closes the fact that while biluminous
coal j. produced in nearly three time,

whole known anthracite field, ard
while there are seventy ono more III.

alton than in the anthracite district.

As the tariff discussion progresses,
says an exchange, it becomes apparent
that there is only one really vital issue
before the country, and that is the
necessity for reform Of the system of
taxation which places the principal
burden of supporting the Government
upon consumers of the necessaries of
life. With such an extraordinary sur.
plus revenue there is no excuse for
delay in looping off the unnecessary ry
taxes. As the Republicans have per.
sistently refused to do this, they have
given the people the best Of all reasons
for turning them out. While it NAV
be unfortunate that a minority of the
Democrats should want to stand on
the Republican platform on this ques.
tion, the average voter and taxpayer
will hardly be foolish enough 10 think
that the much desired reduction can
be attained as surely by keeping the
Republicans in as Il can by turning
them out. We therefore expect to see
them turned out. neck and crop, next
