patient was prolonged many days by
their careful attention. A short time
ago it was decided to remove him to
Mt. McGregor. He was anxious to
leave New York City. In the quiet
cottage, surrounded by his family and
few personal friends, he quietly
passed the few remaining days of his
life. There is striking similarity
between the last days of Grant and
Garfield. The suffering, the removal
to the country, the quiet death-scene
though the sufferings Of Garfield
were perhaps the more intense, at the
last Grant passed away so peace
fully that it required the statement
of DIR. Douglass to inform the sweep
ing and watching friends Of the exact
moment. True, we all loved the great
man, but there is bond of sympathy
and affection which is not felt by
those who never wore the army blue
during the days when our brave old
commander was writing history with
the point of the bayonet, and teach
ing, in characters Of blood and fire
the lesson Of obedience to law and re-
spect for the flag. We feel that an
other of our old military family is
gone. The recruiting is rapidly going
on, over on the other shore. Grant
and Thomas are there; Hooker is
there; Garfield is there; Mcpherson is
there; and a mighty army OF their
faithful followers in the battles of
earth, are there with them. IT'S vain
for us, amid the shadow of this side
Of the river, to fire the salute, or sound
the "recall" from lips that tremble
with weight of grief. But if we train
the eye of faith we may see, over
there, the marshaling of our old COM
rades in fields Of light and beauty
if we incline the ear in that direction
we may hear the old, familiar "assem-
bly," call floating across the waters,
like message from Fairy-land.
Comrades, we have been present at
the laying away of the dead. You
and | have buried friends and
comrades; we have hidden from sight
the crushed and torn form in blue.
We have met death and seen the hor-
ror and sadness of his work. But
never yet was there a blow like this.

We very much dislike to refer
to human misery in the consideration
of political matters, lest unthinking
persons might accuse us of making
light Of very serious matter. But
when the subject Of human misery
has been made factor in political
campaigns, by our Democratic friends
for more than ten years, and has IN
fact been tie sole subject of discuss
ion, we may be pardoned for incident
ally referring to it.
We should not be accused of pre-
sumption when we say that there is
not Democrat with a particle of
common honesty or common sense in
his composition, who will attempt to
deny that the Democratic speakers
howled and raved up and down the
State of Ohio last Fall-but few
months ago, mind you-about the
Republican party being made up of
oppressors 'of the poor. Untiring
efforts were made to prove that Mr..
Blaine was a member of Syndicate,
though not one Democrat in twenty
knew what he meant by the word, and
the laboring men were told that if
Blaine was elected miners would be
digging coal for fifty cents ton, the
furnaces would stop, and all manner
Of evil things would befall the poor
man.
A fellow was brought to Jackson
just before the election on purpose to
tell the working men of the great
danger Of voting the Republican
ticket. There was great procession
of torch-bearers, and the speaker tol Id
a pitiful tale Of the poverty of the
people, although that procession had
perhaps spent more money foolishly
on that night then the speaker had
earned in all his life. And so the
solemn voice of Democratic prophecy
went on True, times were considered
a little dull, just then; miners were
getting seventy to seventy-five cents
per ton; day hands were getting
from a dollar to a dollar and a half
per day. The Democracy proposed
to change all this. Every man was
seen, every community aroused.
"Vote for change, to restore bust
ness confidence. Turn the rascals
out!" The entire reputation Of the
Democratic party for truthfulness
was staked upon the issue. Well, the
Republican party is noted for its
breadth of thought and honesty of
purpose, and we thought that possibly
we might have been mistaken, and,
after all, our Democratic friends
might be right. But a stunning fact
now manifests itself; Instead of being
happy in the hour of triumph and
the prospect Of good times, our Demo-
cratic friends are more excited and
angry now than they were last Fall.
And as illustrating the great improve
ment in the condition of the poor
wrought by the Democratic triumph,
we give this from the Democratic
paper of the Democratic County of
Vinton. The paper is signed by
Peter J. Seel, D. R. Hall, and others,
as committee:

Our Prohibition friends seem inclined
to pull upon the religious string in solic-
iting votes for DR.. Leonard, but they will
not be highly successful in that direction.
The DR.. is good man, and member of
the Methodist Church. But he is just
now engaged in the wrong kind of work
to expect a church following. A good
Methodist will not permit his religion
and politics to get so badly mixed as to
throw his vote away.

Poor but Resneotahle.

This phrase has so long been in
use in this country that it deserves
to take rank among the proverbs or
wise sayings of great men. 1t is
generally used as a qualification of
character, and implies that Mr.. So
and-so is passable, but on the
whole don't amount to much. The
terra is an admission that the poor
may, by a wondrous stretch of lib
erality, become respectable, though
in the estimation of some, poverty
is a crime of heinous magnitude,
sufficient to exclude its victims
from the pale of first-class society.
This brings up the question as to
what is responsibility. 1t certainly
is not conferred by money, though
money is a power which ever will
be respected. Notwithstanding this
fact we find as much that is disrep-
utable among the wealthy as among
the poorer classes, taking into con-
sideration the disparity in numbers
of. the respective classes. The man

Moderation in eating muse ever
be of great value in retarding the
advent of senile decay. Large eat
ers more rapidly bring on osseous
deposits by taking in more food
than is utilized or excreted, thus
blocking the vessels or impairing
their function. The writer cites as
what seem to be the best articles
of food for delaying the deposit
fruit, fish, poultry, flesh of young
mutton and beef. Fluids, as a part
of diet, have a special Importance.
All well and spring water contains
considerable of the earthly salts
and should therefore be avoided
and replaced by cistern water. Wa
ter clear of foreign matter is the
better prepared to dissolve the
earthly salts and convey them out
of the system. The addition of fif-
teen or twenty,drops. of. diluted phOs-
phoric acid to glass Of water and
drank three times a day will, in DR..
Caldwell's opinion, add to the solu-
bility of these earthly salts, and
thus tend to suspend the advent of
old age by assisting in the removal
of those substances which
mark its chief physiological charac-
teristic.

The French socialists have is
sued a declaration of principles,
which goes to show that their no
tions differ widely indeed from
those of ordinary people, even in
revolutionary France. They de-
mand an entire readjustment of the
political order Of the country, the
abolition of the senate, and the
settlement of questions of war and
peace and of constitutional revision
by popular vote. They insist, also,
upon the conGscation of church
property. Other demands of the
socialists are that the legal distinc-
tions between legitimacy and lille
gitimacy be abolished; that chill
dren be fed free at public expense
in all cases where they are not 9th
erwise provided for; that disabled
work be maintained at the eX-
pense OF the state, and that the
hours of labor be reduced.
