Lincoln University about the year II
from which institution he graduated
in the spring Of 80, from the Theo-
logical department, subsequently hav-
ing accepted call to come and labor
among US unknowiDg and unknown,
but the qualities of his mind and
heart rendered him dear to the hearts
of many who will keenly feel bis loss.
Whenever the shadow OF gloom pre-
sented itself among US, words of
cheer and consolation would he give,
and always ready to lend a helping
hand to those in need. The Church,
Sunday-school and societies with
which he was identified were pros
porous by his indefatigable and IN,
renting earnestness, we bespeak
him success in his new field of labor.

THE REPUBLICAN nominee for the fresl-
dency attempts to prove that protection has
increased the happiness aud prosperity ofall
the people of this conntry,by comparing the
increase in the asses ,ed values OF the United
States from 1861, when the republicans OBJ
tanned control Of the Government and in
augurated the protective policy, with that
which had taken place during the previous
existence of the Union. Nobody denies
that the wealth of the country has greatly
increased during the last quarter of a CEN
tury-such increase is apparent in every
part of the North-but it is no less certain
that that wealth is concentrated in the
hands of few, and that the vast majority
of the people-the poor people-are not as
prosperous and contented now as they were
before the establishment Of the protective
policy-before tariff exclusively for the
expenses of the Government was super
ceded by one which taxes the many consum-
ers, and enhances the profits of the few pro-
prietors of manufactures.

ONE OF WAsHINGToN's CURIOUS CRANEs
That remarkable crank, Maurice Pinch
over, who has haunted the halls Of the
Capitol at Washington so long and to whom
Ben Perley Poore gave national fame by
putting his picture in the Century MngdSinc
is dying in an insane asylum at Washing
ton. His pet deluson was that some mem
Der of Congress, usually the Speaker, had
swindled him out of millions of acres Of
land. How often he has come storming
around the House of Representatives and
been forced out nobody but the police can
tell. Until lately he was never more vio-
lent than to pound with the big tin case, in
which he carried the title deeds to his icti-
tious estates, whoever ventured to disagree
with him. Then his crankism took more
dangerous turn, and, for fear he might do
harm, he was committed to the asylum.
He is all interesting mental wreck. No
body knows anything of his antecedenta,
but it is evident from his talk in lucid mo-
ments that he has been highly educated
and intelligent man.-Philadelphia Press.

MR.. BLAINE is not consistent. lie says
in one part of his letter OF acceptance
revenue laws are in their very ra'ure
subject to frequent revision in order
that they may be adapted to changes
and notifications of trade. The republican
party is not contending for the permanency
of any particular statute" And yet IN
another part he condemns the democrats
for attempting to make the revision to
which the very nature of the revenue laws
makes them subject, and to adapt these
laws to the changes and notifications Of
trade, and says ''the uncertainty resulting
from the recent tariff agitation in Congress
has hurtfully affected the business OF the
entire country. Who can measure the harm
to our shops and our homes, to our farms and
our commerce, if the uncertainty of per-
petual tariff citation is to he inflicted upon
the country ?" But Mr.. Blaine, like ex
Commissioner Raum, believes that modern
politician has nothing to do with consls'
tenCy.

WHILE THE opponents of Mr.. Blaine
prove by the most irrefragable testimony
that he prostituted his high position as
Speaker of the House to the low purpose Of
increasing his bank account, in other words
that he sold himself for so much money,
and that, in order to destroy the evidence of
this crime, he flagrautly violated what he
had pledged as the honor of a gentleman,
the only charge the opponents of Governor
Cleveland can bring against him is that he
