think the reduction should be
made in the revenue derived from a
tax upon the imported necessaries Of
life. We thus directly lessen the
cost Of living in every family of the
land, and release to the people in
every humble home larger measure
of the rewards Of frugal industry"
All must remember that to pur-
chase even those imported necessar;es
there must be opportunity for labor,
and if the manufacturers that provide
employment are not protected against
the encroachment of foreign free
trade then the means fail for even
obtaining necessaries.
In our humble opinion, he is at
fault in his position that the revenues
being in excess of expenditures
should be reduced, for it is gener-
ally admitted fact, that for several
months there has been an increase
instead Of reduction Of public debt.

OYER THE GARDEN WALL.

New Version
A brindle cat sat on the fence,
Over the garden wall.
The back of his head was full of dents,
Over the garden wall.
BE was all batter up like an old tin pail,
His back was skinned from head to tail,
So he let himself out in mighty wall.
Over the garden WALL
His ears Topped down, and his eyes were
Over the garden wall;
He wept as he thought Of his brother Jim,
Over the garden wall,
Who was counting maiden Maltesine,
Among all the other cats she was queen
Her name was Susan b. Anthony Green,
Over the garden wall.
Says Tom to himself, 81 think Pll slide,
Over the garden wall,
And gently tan my brothers. hide,
Over the garden WALL"
But his brother remarked he'd have none of
that
And then they went at it quicker than scat,
Over the garden wall.
They spat while they walled their words
Of hate,
Over the garden wall:
Till they loosed the hinges from OF the
gate,
Over the garden wall;''
And people in passing began to think
Their nelghbors had started roller rink, ,
And that some lovely maiden had fallen
kerchink,
Over the garden wall. ge*
When morning dawned what sight was
there,
Over the garden wall ~
The ground was strewn with tufts of hair,
Over the garden wall.
Poor Tom lay dead as dead could be,
His brother Jimmy, ALL where was her
Decamped with Susan B. Anthony,
Over the garden wall.
All that remained of Tom was laid
Over the garden wall.
Under the ash-pile in the shade.
Over the garden wall.
The gravestone reads, This ends my tale
No more will be heard his sad sad wall;
His race is run-let joy prevail
Over the garden wall.

The occuiati0n OF Jupiter is by far the
most interesting, and will be worth get
ting up early to observe, the moon be-
ing within few hours OF her last quar-
ter, and the bright planet being fair to

side by side, before the breaking of the
dawn. The prince Of planets, surround
ed by dis beaming satellites. seems to
plunge headloDg into the moons do
main, and to be suddenly blotted from
the sky. IL is only for q short time.
He soon reappears az majestic and state
~ as ever, pursuing bis course among
the stars, and soon, with his compan
ions, to disappears in The coming day
light. There is during the last month
OF the year prospect of enjoyment and
abundant opportunity for steady work
for those who follow the planets in their
courses, and seek to fathom the mystic
rious bond that unites planet to planet
aud binds the members of the solar fam
lily into one harmonious whole. The
planets bear constant and tangible tes-
timony to the resistless sway welded
by the all-powerful sun, whose least dis
turbance is felt in the system g remotest
bounds, and who holds within his fiery
orb the issues of life and death for bis
family OF worlds. In his life, we live;
in his death, We die. The sun crowns
the month with two great events. On
the 2lst he reaches the winter solstice,

days and more gentle breezes that will
surely follow his approaching steps.

THE PRESIDENTS MESA GE

THE PRESIDENTS AESSA GE.
Mr.. Cleveland's first message to
Congress is a very bulky and lengthy
document, for which reason it will
not be generally read or published.
Nevertheless, it is very good, sub
stantial and in most respects CON-
mendable public paper. On the SUBJ
ject of finance, many eminent men Of
his own party will probably disa-
gree with him. On the question Of
protection the President occupies a
very equivocal position. In endeav-
oring to express himself, he simply
straddles the fierce and leaves it
questionable az to which side he in
tends to get down on. If anything,
it is more for protection than free
trade, more republican than demo-
cratic. He says:
"The question of free trade is not
involved, nor 10 there now any occa-
sion for the general discussion Of the
wisdom and expediency Of protect
i've system. Justice and fairness die
tate that any modification of our pre-
sent laws relating to revenue, the in
dustries and interests, which have
been encouraged by such laws and
in which our citizens have large in
vestments, should not be injured or
destroyed.
We should also deal with the sub
ject in such a manner as to protect
the il terests Of American labor, which
is the capital of our workingmen.
Its stability and proper remunera-
ton furnish the most justifable pre-
text for protective policy. Within
those limitations a certain reduction
should be made in our customs re
venue. The amount of such reduc-
ton having been determined, the in

At a meeting of the Martinsburg City

resolutions were offered and adopted:
WHEREAS, Within short period we are
called second time to mourn the loss of a
comrade, in the death of our fellow men,
Der, Harry ID. Doll. Now, therefore be it
Resotued, That in his sad and untimely
death, we as members, lose a steadfast
friend, whose bright mind and noble heart
endeared him to us all, and as an organi-
cation we lose good and faithful member,
one ever ready to share our pleasures and
our duties.
That we tender our heartfelt sympathies
to his bereaved parents and friends, who

should be thus suddenly ended and his
merry laugh silenced forever.
That we Will accompany his remains to
their final resting place with tokens OF
mourning, and lay him in his grave with

GIVE HER AN Equal CHANCE
Woman is now fairly established in
the labor market and the rival OF
man. Whether this is the normal
order of things is a point doubted
by some political economists, but
whether it be so or not, it is likely
10 remain the order of things
practically for generations to come.
This being so, it must be accepted,
and every fair.minded person must
wish her to have an equal chance
in the competition. \ woman sup
porting her mother and little
brothers and sisters is very com.
mon spectacle; and the fact that
Professor Somebody regards her
abnormal does not make their
bread and butter any cheaper. She
il entitled to at least as much
sympathy as a man who supports a
wife and children. For his charge,
il must always be remembered, is
voluntary-he took it on himself
Hers was involuntary. She could
not help her responsibilities; be
assumed his of his own accord. II
is, therefore, quite just that she
should have an equal chance.
