GOOD ADVICE FOLLOWED.
If You Want to Pick Berries Stick [
Your Bush.

n You Want to Pick Berries Stick to
Your Bush.
One day when / was a lad, a party of
boys and girls were going to a distant
pasture to pick whortleberries. / want
ed to go with them, but was fearful that
my father would not let me. When I
told him what was going on, he at once
gave me permission to go with them. I
could hardly contain myself for JOY, and
rushed into the kitchen and got big
basket and asked mother for lunch
con. had the basket on my arm and
was just going out of the gate when my
father called me back.
He took hold of my hand and said in
very gentle voice:
:. Joseph. what are You going for
to pick berries, or to play?
To pick berries" replied.
Then, Joseph, want to tell you
one thing. It is this: When you find .
pretty good bush do not leave it to find
a better one. The other boys and girls
viii run about, picking little here and
little there, wasting 4 great deal q
time, and not getting many berries. u
YOU do as they do you will come home
with an empty basket. II you want
berries stick 10 your bash. =
went with the party. and we had .
capital time. But it was just as my
father said.
No sooner had one found good bush

DISGRUNTLED REPUBLICANS.
The G. o. p. Suffering from Extreme De-
mOraliZation.

The G. o. p. Suffering from Extreme De-
moralization.
The Republicans bore their defeat sui
lenly. Never were people more demon
allied than the supporters of Mr..
Blaine, who were Republican only that
they might get Office or profitable Gov
eminent contracts. But after the
''grand old party" recovered from the
surprise, certain organs and leaders
took courage in the thought that
Democratic Administration would soon
overleap itself and make the conserva-
tive people of the country anxious for a
return of Republican rule in 1885, They
predicted that the majority of Demo-
Gratis and Independents would demand
Office. and that the professional politi-
clans would control the Government.
But Mr.. Cleveland's record as Governor
of New York was enough to prove to
fair-minded men that as President he
would be firm, honest and able. The
Radical press said that Mr.. Cleveland
would not be strong enough to with
stand the pressure of the Democratic
demand for office. Papers like the
New York Tribune, Philadelphia
Press and Cincinnati Commercial Ga
zette would exclaim: '.Look! See them
the army of office-hunters from the
South already overrun Washington"
But those who looked saw that the of
fce-seekers were undemonstrative and
comparatively few. Had Blaine been
elected President Washington would
have been crowded with office-hunters,
and the office-hunters would have ex-
hibited the worst types of the Republic
an party. But the truth is there never
was less clamor for Office on the eve of
a change of any administration than
now. In the first place, the Democrats
elected Mr.. Cleveland as an eminent
reformer; and they could not, therefore,
consistently beg him for Office. In the
second place Mr.. Cleveland has stated
very emphatically since the election
that office-seekers s'need not apply"
He prefers to make his own selections.
And, in the third place. the Southern
Democrats, who the Republican press
said were over-running Washington,
have something else to occupy their
time besides office-hunting. They are
busy men, and after working for the
success of the Democratic ticket, they
are no longer politicians until the next
campaign.
Two months have passed since the
election. The hopes of these Repub-
licans, based on assumed Democratic
greed for Office, have dropped fifty per
cent They see the Southern Demo-
Gratis commenting Mr.. Cleveland's
Christmas letter, in which he states
clearly the Democratic doctrine of civil
service reform. and grow respondent
to think the Democrats are behaving
wisely and temporarily. In short the
Republicans see that Mr.. Cleveland's
administration is to be successful
Democratic administration, and that it
will pave the way for a series of Demo-
cratic triumphs in National elections;
and seeing this they are of all people
the most miserable. Richmond (Ta.)

ANOTHER CRUCIAL TEST.
The Reasons That Induce Republics

The Reasons That Induce Republican
SqueAllng.
Some of the Republican journals that
supported Mr.. Blaine continue their
fierce attacks on Mr.. John p. ST. John,
the late Prohibition candidate. MIR. j.
B. McCullagh, the editor of the st.
LOUIS Globe Democrat. has boldly
charged him with having offered him.
self during the late campaign to the Re
publicans for q price, and of having
been finally purchased by the Demo-
Gratis. Mr.. st. John recently published
q letter, which was referred to by the
argus at the time. 1t was direct an
swer to the hints by some of Mr.. Blaine's
supporters that he had opposed that
statesman's candidacy for money con-
sideration. Mr.. st. Johns letter, in
stead of silencing his enemies, seems to
have irritated them. They finally Sc
lected the Globe Democrat as their
mouthpiece. The great Prohibition lead
er lost no time in denouncing the ale
CATION as false. He challenged Mr..
McCullagh to produce any proof in
support of his charges. He is out in
card in which he says the st. Louis
editor would neither publish the alleged
proofs nor the letter he wrote demand
ing them. He says, further, that
any one who can furnish any proofs
whatsoever of bargain attempted be-
tween himself and the Republicans, or
of any compact between himself and
the Democrats, ought to do so at once.
He reiterates his denial of all charges of
the kind.
Now, after raising all of this dust,
what does the st. Louis editor sayp
Simply this: 81 myself have no evidence
against him, but know from men, in
whom have the fullest confidence, that
st. John was dickering with the Repub-
licans." Also, that s'the Democrats,
raising the sum demanded, got him"
Now, this is pretty feeble testimony on
which to convict Mr.. st. John, or any
one else of sale, or any other political
After raising the hue
and cry against the Prohibition candi-
date he seeks refuge behind very thin
screen. The public know full well that
if any proofs existed to support the
charges preferred against Mr.. St John
that they would be produced forthwith.
They would be scattered far and near.
Since the election st. John has not been
idle, and the Republicans know it. He
has been organizing and encouraging
the Prohibition forces in many places.
1t is this fact which makes him so odious
to the Republican organs, who realize
now that with Republican candidate
for Governor, the party must submit to
another crucial test next fall. This is
where the shoe pinches. - albany
