COURAGE, young man, there Is light
in the window ever tor thee, quotheS
the Peoria JournM. Here is Gen
Carr the republican candidate fol
lieutenant governor of the state of New
York, who began life thirty years ago as
dancing master In Troy. Yea, and
more. He used to accompany himself
upon the ligh. fantastic with his own
fiddle Life, however, has its ups and
downs. Lieutenant Governor Glenn, who
formerly presided over the Illinois state
senate and who was for amatter of TWEEN
ty.four hours acting governor, is now a
common police Justice in Wichita, Kan
sas. He neglected his business to go in
to politics, broke and went west to grow
up with the country. He reached Wich-
tia, and as nothing better offered itself.
he ran for police justice and was elected.
The voice that thundred in the senate
now whispers 1.-TWO dollars and costs, ="
and the hand that welded the "rod of
empire" now figures up fines on plain
DRINKS. This is an uncertain and shift
ing world, and the man who thinks he
has Il mortgage on it is very apt to get
left. Go to, young man, and ponder
these things, for if you dou't dance it is a
good two to one bet that you will have
to pay the fiddler.

DURING the administration of Arthur,

watch of the newspapers and clipped out
everything that was published about his
matrimonial intentions. just before his
term expired these clippings were all
pasted in handsomely bound scrap book
and presented TO him. On the cover was
stamped u figure of Cupid with culver
full of arrows, and the words Many
were called, but none was chosen.
Arthur still has this volume and regards
il with good deal of interest. Now a
friend OF Cleveland's is doing the same

these that go to make up the great sum
of human existence, and they are as h

THE sHERMAN5AND FoRAKERs

The Ohio election was fought out on
the republican side. by direction of John
Sherman and Judge Foraker, with the
bloody shirt as a main issue. That the
republicans won is no sign that the issue
was legitimate, and certainly no good
citizen, whether he be a republican or a
democrat, will accept the result as indi
cative of Il desire on the part of the peo-
pie to resurrect the questions of quarter
of a century ago.
Nevertheless Judge Foraker was sent
to New York to discuss the bloody shirt,
and John Sherman would have went too,
if he or his New York sympathizers
thought the experiment would be entirely
safe The republican platform of that
state, like that of Ohio, presents the
proposition, giving it in brief, that the
southern states do not support republican
tickets and that therefore they ought 10
be disfranchised, or at least reduced tc a
territorial condition, until they see the
error of their ways. Whether this will
II
the southern section cannot be predicted;
hut there is certainly disposition on the
part of the Shermans and the Forakers
to rule theil brethren of the south from a
partisan standpoint or to take from them
the Independence as states guaranteed
them by the constitution which it was
supposed had been indicated as a result
of the late war.
The last words of General Grant were
an appeal for peace between the sections
and an expression of qualification that in
his opinion peace has been secured; and
in his note to General Buckner he spoke
with emphasis against men, like Sherman
and Foraker, who, warmed up to the
war after twas all over" These Shermans
and Foraker have no southern outrages
to complain Of at this moment. Not a
word has been heard of southern outrag-
is throughout this campaign. 1t is shown
by republican evidence, on the contrary,
that the black men of the south are fairly
treated. and that if they do not all vote
the republican ticket it is because they
have ceased TO respect it and because they
have acquired confidence in the demos

WHY THEY LAUGH.
NJ, yoIx Ca,


The republicans are always Jealous res
formers when the effect of what they call
reform will be to help their party and in
ure their political opponents.
The promotion of civil service reform,
in the shape of competitive examinations
for appointment TO office and the prohibi-
ton of removals except for cause, was
never particularly important in republi
can eyes until the democrats were coming
into power.
Then, however, it became of vast nom
ent as the most Elective method of keep.
ing as many republicans as possible in
office, and as many democrats as possible
out.
Meantime the Grand Old Party is gath
ering itself together wondering at the
innocence of its opponents, and prepar-
ing to carry the country in 1888.
That is why the republicans laugh.
