A MICHIGAN Democratic newspaper re-
marks that "the Republican party is on its
last legs.m To this the Detroit Tribune
spiritedly replies that "the Republican
party has been on those same legs since the
date of its birth, taking every advance step
that has been taken for the last quarter Uf
century In the direction Of good govern
ment, sound finance, protection to home
industries, and national prosperity. Those
legs waded through blood to save the ma
tion, waded through years of adversity to
re-establish the nations credit, and walked
straight into the admiration of the civil
lied world because they walked wisely.
Those last legs kicked the shackles from
100000 human beings, kicked treason
out at the back door-and kicked again to
see some Of 1t stealing In at the front door.
They kicked the Democratic party out
regularly once in four years from 1860 TO
1850, and will do 1t again In 1888. They
are good legs. II they are 'last legs they
are also legs that will last" The Demo
cratic party does not depend very much on
legs, Icing an Urlal navigator. 1t boasts
Of two wings that SLAP together occa'
sIonally when hunger presses and the scent
Of leshpots is strong. But on almost all
occasions those wings decline to slap to
gether," and the aged bird is destitute Of
the power Of locomotion.

THE Presidents message to the House, ap-
proving the oleomargarinc bill, is exciting a
great deal OF discussion, and the tendency at
Washington seems to be to look upon It us an
apology. Some think that It was originally
written as veto message, and then toned
down to one of approval. P,hsburg Chronicle
7ttDdph.
A careful reading of the document shows
that, with slight verbal changes, 1t could
have been used as a veto message. 1t is
noticeable that most OF the leading Demo-
cratic newspapers condemn the approval of
the bill. Some journals that are counted
among the stanch friends Of the President
tell him plainly that, in this matter, he has
made radical departure from the Demo-
cratic creed.

If colored ministers generally will take the
line of Christian duty laid down for them in
the Scriptures, they will find their strongest co.
adjutors among the ex.slaveholders of the
south and their scendants.-,Sarannah Ne,us.
Most OF those colored ministers are old
enough to remember the time when all the
educated clergymen of the south taught
that slavery was an institution of divine
origin, and that cheerful acqulescence on
the part Of the blacks in the will Of their
owners was "the line OF Christian duty
laid down for them by the Scriptures" !"
Remembering those days and the events
thereof, they naturally mistrust the pious
profession on the part Of "the ex slavehold-
ers" of willingness to help them. Doubt
less thele are many thousands Of good men
and women among those ex-slaveholders,
but 1t is not natural for the ex.slaves to
trust them in religious matters.

THE American minister Is reported to have
said in London that resoute coercion Is the
only solution of the Irish problem. II the re-
port be true, Mr.. Phelps has been guilty Of an
indlscretion which he will rue. He has a
right to think what he peases; but there are
certain subjects on which he should keep
quiet. An opinion in favor of coercion may
endear him to the English; but the American
people, who heartily approve home rule, will
not be drawn TO him theseby.-NeO York
Tribune.
This Is not the first serious indlscretion
with which Minister Phelps has been
charged in the same general connection,
Some five or six months ago London cable
letter to that able and reliable independent
Democratic newspaper, the Philadelphia
Times, represented Mr.. Phelps as having
said that 1t was only the Irish in the United
States who were IN favor OF home rule.
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN and other
newspapers repeatedly cited the state
ment and called for a denial or explaua-
tion, but silence was the only answer
Vouchsafed. The subject was brought to
the attention OF influential friends of the
minister in the hope that they might be
able 10 obtain q denial, but they did not
report the result Of efforts which, 1t was
understood, they promptly made to secure
counteracting statement for publication.
Mr.. Phelps is gentleman Of high charac-
ter and conceded ability, but II happens
that his antecedents are such as naturally
incline the public to believe that his sym
pathies are against home rule. The New
England man who sympathlzed with the
rebellion against our own government a
quarter century ago is unlikely to be a
home ruler now. As the Tribune says, Mr..
Phelps has right to think as he pleases on
this question, but the proprietles forbid
such utterances as he is credited with. The
public sentiment Of the United States is al
most unanimous in favor of the cause of
Parnell and Gladstone, Mr., Phelps is not

THE Richmond Wing, commenting on, a
recent speech by Frederick Douglass in
this city, says: "There is only one express
sion in it to which just exceptance can be
taken, and that is the expression of be-
lief that there are certain sections OF the
south where colored people are unjustly
treated, and so grievously oppressed as to
fully justify them in seeking homes else
where Mr.. Douglas does not say where
those sections are, and we imagine he
would be at loss to designate them II
called upon to do So" The Wing ought to
fence its funny man Off from the leading
editorial columns. To be sure, the joke 4:
a good one, but 1t should not have beer
printed just where it was. OF course Mr.
Douglass, with Senators George and Walt
hall, and the entire Mississippi delegation
in the House to help him, could "not say
where these sections are"

How Congresmnn Trigr Got Loft.

WYTuEvILLE, VA, Aug. 4, 1SS8.-The
Democratic side show, called by the "truly

perfected its organization by electing State

II was generally understood that EX Con-
gresham Pridemore would be q candidate,

there had been a union Of the Henry and

its utmost to secure Trigg In his seat,
which, unfortunately for Virginia, is so
near empty when he occupies 1t. The first
aud only ballot resulted c. f. Trlgg, 63l;

The Memory of the Incas.

|
The devotion of the Indians to the
memory of their king who was strangled
$50 years ago is very touching. When
''the last of the Incas" fell he left his
people in perpetual mourning, and the
women wear nothing but black to-day
1t is a pathetic custom of the race not to
show upon their costumes the slightest
hint of color. Over short black skirt
they wear sort of mantle, which re-
sembles in its appearance, as well as in
its use, the ''manta" that is worn by the
ladies of Peru, and the ''mantilla" of
Spain. 1t is drawn over their fore
heads and across the chin and
pinned between the shoulders. The
somber costume gives them a nun-like
appearance, which is heightened by the
stealthy, silent way in which they dart
through the streets The cloth is woven
on their own native looms of the wool
OF the llama and the vicunas, and is a
soft, fine texture.
While the Indians are under the des-
potic rule of the priests and have ac-
,epted the Catholic relion $50 years of |
submission has not entirely divorced
hem from the ancient rites they prac-
iced under their original civilization
several times year they have feasts or
to commemorate some
vent in the Inca history, and, like the
Aztecs in Mexico, they still cling to a
opc that future ages may restore the
ynasty under which their fathers
we'd, and destroy the hated Spaniards.

Growing Grapes Under Glass
lChicago News.l


81 have been growing these vines
eight years." said a gardener who ac-
quired his knowledge of growing exotic
fruits and flowers in the service of one
of the wealthiest English lords, as he
stood in the middle Of one of his gra-
peries south of the city, and looked
proudly up at the heavy clusters Of
fruit.
81 consider the perfect condition OF
these vines and the prolific yield as
genuine triumph over the yigors of eli
mate" continued the gardener in tone
of satisfaction. 81 brought the orig
inal slips, snugly packed in cotton,
from England, and have, from them,
propagated all the vigorous climbers
you see in both of the hot houses, be-
sides supplying shoots to several of the
few gentlemen hereabouts who like to
experiment. little with dollhouse grape
culture"
''How long will these vines live and
continue TO bearl"
81 could have them healthy and laden
with fruits every season for 100 years
to come if ] could live so long. Grape
vines are possessed of a far longer lease
of life than man. dollhouse vines, in
diligently cared for, cannot fail to be
long-lived, for they are brought to the |
most perfect development possible.
