Fortune at Flood Tide
From the Waco Exam:ner.l

It appears that the current set in on a
certain farm, covered it, and swept the
driftwood with the current. The drift
wood lodged on the farm, made break
water against which more were lodged,
and more against that. When the flood
subsidized it left raft of wood and other
things a quarter of mile wide and a
mile long. It contained cordwood
without end, 5000 cedar rails, enough
lumber to build a house, and other
things innumerable in quantity and
illimitable in qualty-bedsteads, wash
tubs, chicken-coops, and hundred
other things. But what was most sin
gular, the great raft contained lots OF
whisky, several kegs of which have al
ready been found, and TASKS of whisky
without end.

Sunday i'm Munich.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.]


It may be said of the denizens of
Munich that they worship God on Sun
day morning and Gambrinus and music
in the evening. Following the multi
tudes, I found myself one evening in
the great concert building, called the
Centralsaola, having paid an admission
fee of 40 pfennige OF ten cents. On the
ground floor a string quartette pro-
duced classic music. Beautiful girls
gave drink to the thirsty. Your admis-
sion fee entities you to the right to as
cend to the second floor. There full
orchestra fairly reveled in the delight
full Interpretation of the classic fathers
of German music. Overwhelmingly love-
~ damsels gave drink to the thirsty,
On the floor above a military band
waxed red in the face and explosively
inflated i the periphery while expound-
ing Gungl, Strauss and Suppe for the
behoof of the multitudes of promenad-
ers, soldiers, civilians and the youth
and beauty of Munich. 1t was a gay
and festive scene. Daughters of Hebe
enacted their classic mother to exasper-
ating professionalism is, they
were beautiful and bore the foaming
cup to those who were thirsty, Now,
though this vast multitude of pleasure
seekers seemed to be in the ecstacy of
enjoyment, yet there was happy alb
sence of even the suspicion of revelry.
The most captious prude would fail to
discover anything indecorous or disedi-
flying in the assemble, unless it be the
fact-horrifying to none but Sabbath
rian curmudgeon-that people enjoyed
themselves on the Sunday.

TURN THE SILVER EDGE.
BY F. M. z.

How dark are the clouds over LIES pathway,
And difficult oft It's to see
A glimpse of the bright silver lining,
That on every cloud there must be.
At times these dark clouds will o'eTwhelm us;
We see no escape from their gloom,
And many in desperate madness,
Seek too early the rest of the tomb.
And going about with long faces
And looks that betoken despair,
Many see no bright CLEAN in the future,
Which may be so wondrously fair.
For though heavy clouds cast their shadows
Ger even the sunniest way,
As darkness must come before daylight
And night precedes ever the day,
Yet the clouds that seem thickest and blacklist
May shower refreshing, bright rain,
And leave Nature smiling with gladness,
And sparkling the drops that remain.
Thus the dark clouds of life will pass o er US,
And leave us more brave than before;
Turn the edge-See the bright silver lining
OF that cloud that will darken no more!

THE NATIONAL CANDIDATE.

We are now far advanced in
the "presidential year," on the
eve as it were, Of the nominating
conventions, with the serious
business of president making on
our hands.
Just who the republicans will
nomlnate for that high position,
is matter of conjecture, yet of
great concern to the loyal Union
loving citizens of the whole coun-
try. It should be the business OF
every republican to think over
this matter seriously, and through
correspondence and the press,
voice the honest sentiment of the
masses to those who will be most
nearly concerned In making the
choice of a candidate. 1t is time
to drop the work of making
"booms" for this or that candi-
date and begin to seriously can
vass for some person for whom
the whole vote of the republican
party can be polled. This should
be the business of every republie
can. We want the vote of every
loyal man in the country in the
coming election. The person who
can secure this, is the one to nom
inate-none other.

The following para graph from
the Terre Haute Exprese has the
emphatic and cordial Endorsement
OF this paper:
"The republican party has a
duty to perform this year which
is really of more Importance than
the election of a republican presl-
dent. We mean the permanent
relief Of all citizens in the south
from the terrorizing domination
of the shot gun party. There has
not been a free election In the
south since the war. That tact
has been frequently established,
and the Investigations now being
conducted show that the south Is
no nearer q free ballot than it was
ten years ago. 1t is the impera-
tive duty Of the republican party
to put an end to the present state
of affairs. We say it is the duty
of the republican party because
there is no hope of any other
party performing the service.
Speakers mus, if necessary, go
into southern states and insist
that the people there be accorded
perfect freedom in their political
acts. and if necessary the power
Of the government should be use !
to establish the fact that hereafter
there must be no intimidation OF
voters that one political party
may remain in the ascendency. =

"NUF CED."

On Saturday evening last the
New York Free Trade League
gave its sixth annual dinner,
Prof. White president.Aassi.g
the distinguished guests present,
were Manton Marble former ed
itor of the New York World,
and other lesser lights of the free
trade fraternity. Letters of regret
and sympathy were received from
senators Bayard and Pendleton,
Chas. Francis Adams and Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher. The prin-
ciple speech of the evening was
delivered by the Hon. John g.
Carlisle, speaker of the house.
In this address Mr.. Carlisle
thoroughly aud uneqivocally COM
mitted himself to the free trade
doctrine. He, however, qualified
his address, in conclusion, by say
ing that he was in favor of, for
the present, reformation, not reso-
luton, but there must be no step
backward.
Appropos to this, the Philadel-
phia Press has this to say:
Early in the year the free-tra-
ders in the democratic party made
proclamation that they proposed
to test the sense of the people on
the tariff question. The first trial
was to be made in the Twelfth
Congressional District of Massa-
chusetts, where a vacancy had oc-
Cured through the election OF
George d. Robinson to the gov
ernorship. Result Ne. |: A re-
publican protectionist elected by
a majority increased by more than
one thousand. The next test was
to be at the municipal election in
ladelphia, which was to be
carried under the disguise of a
reform canvass, aided by some
misguided republicans, and then
the victory was to be heralded
over the county as a Free-trade
triumph. Result No. 2: A dem
ocratic majority of 5000 reversed
and republican majority of
nearly 10000 rolled up. The
third and most importanttest was
to be made in the election to fill
a vacancy in the Second Kansas
Congressional District. Here cir
cumstances were greatly in the
Freetraders' favor. So popular a
man as the late Dudley Haskell
had carried the district by a plu-
rality only, and as the locality is
wholly an agricultural one the
revenue reformers were persuad-
ed that they could confuse the
rural mind with fine-spun theo-
ries. Result No. 3: A Republl-
can majority OF about 1000 over
the combined opposition. Does
the free-trade democracy feel,
with Oliver Twist, like asking for

REDUCE THE SALARIES

There is growing tendency
on the part Of the people of the
south to nominate men for poli:i,
cal positions who are possessed
of large amount of this worlds
goods, aud this feeling is encour-
aged and supplemented by the
political bosses of all parties
This state of affairs is fast lead
ing to a species of generalization
in public affairs, that will event.
ually produce bad results.
The true test of a mans fitness
for official position is the rJeffer-
soniap-"ls he honest, is he CON-
petent ?" and this should be ap-
piled in every case. In the pres
ent state of political demoraliza
ton, it is expected that the can
didate should bleed freely at every
pore and scatter dollars as free
as the dcws from heaven. In
order to do this he must be pos.
sessed Of wealth, and unless he
can do so, the average politician
has no further use for him. One
of the cures for this great and
growing evil is TO reduce the SAL
aries of officers, where the emol-
uments are great, or above fair
living salary.
