Reform the Tariff.

The platform adopted by the Dem
ocratic Convention at Chicago. and
upon which the Democratic people
asked support for President Cleve-
land, specially pledged the party to
q reform of the tariff. Every State
Democratic Convention has made the
same promise to the people. The
tariff taxes are burdensome, unequal
and destructive to the interests of
the country, and the laws regulating
them should be changed.
There may be class of politicians
who believe that a great party can
afford to break its pledges to the
people. Upon this mistaken notion
the Republican leaders have acted.
Their platform professions look in
one direction and their party prac-
tees in another. When circumstances
are presented against such breach
Of faith they answer that platforms
are not made to be respected; that
they are simply expedients for catch
ing votes, and when they have &C.
complished that mission are to be
disregarded-
The Democrats do not propose to
have Republican methods introduced
into their councils in order that per-
nicious Republican measures may be
perpetuated. The party is obligated
to q reform Of the tariff. When the
Democratic people made that pledge
they were sincere, and don't propose
to have the faith which they pledged
broken.

History Run Wild.

It is to be hoped that future gene
rations viii not gain their knowledge
of the late civil war from the MARIA
tives that are being published in
some Of the newspapers and maga-
zines Of the present period. II the
future historian should draw on them
for his facts his production as his
tory would be about as reliable as
the tales of Mother Goose and about
as instructive as a comic almanac, if
not as amusing.
There seems to have broken out q
perfect craze for writing the history
of the war in which men of every
variety of character and attainment,
and of almost every conceivable con-
nection with the events narrated, are
taking a hand. Both sides of the
controversy have engaged in this
manufacture of history and the con-
trary accounts given OF movements
and engagements make them look as
if they related to entirely different
occurrences. The battle Of Shiloh,
for instance, has at least score of
historians and dellneators who differ
in the most essential particulars.
Enterprising journalism has per-
haps had as much to do with this
historical rampage as any other cause.
When invitations are extended to
everybody who had engaged in the
war to give his experience in the con-
fict through the medium of the
press, nothing else could be expected
than a great deal of worthless and
inaccurate narrative. It makes very
interesting newspaper reading, but
If the future historian should resort
to the newspapers and magazines for
any of his facts relating to the civil
war it will bother him greatly to sepa-
rate the true from the false in his en-
deavor to give an accurate and con-
scientious account of the events OF
the great war.

Ny Home.

How much that is dear and sacred
to our hearts is expressed in this lit
tie monosyllable! ALI that is dearest,
purest, best in our lives is associated
with the name of home. Was there
eyer a person who did not love home?
Even the very word ''Home" brings
to us pleasant recollections, and we
always think of home as the place
where our loved ones are. Our love
of home is natural passion. Every
one knows the love of home; true
many unfortunates have no place that
they can call by the endearing name,
but they must at some time have
known one place dearer than all
others, because of some loved one
there. 1t is so different at home,
and school. How we miss our dear
old home when we are sent off to
school, and separated from our loved
ones. What college girl does not
realize after an absence from home
of year or two, how very dear the
old home isa Doubtless many Of us
are restless and anxious to get
away from it, but after we arrive at
school, we meet so many strangers;
no one we are acquainted with; no
friends; then, the sweet memory of
home comes to us, but alas! we have
it to stand, and oh, how delighted we
are when we can say, 'only few
more days and we are going home"
Then, every girl realizes that now
she must say good bye to college
friends, some of whom she may never
meet again. It is a sad time then,
but the thought of being SO soon at
home keeps us from sinking under
the trial.
Every girl must remember that she
plays an important part in her home,
and can help to make it a happy or
an unhappy one, just as she chooses,
and we trust that every girl may re-
alize the brightest hopes, and that she
may be source OF happiness to all
at home. We should always be low
ing and kind to our parents who give
us so much and suffer so much for
us, while in our early days our sor-
lows are like the feeting breeze-a
moment with us, then. gone and for
gotten. Then, it is such an easy
thing for us to be happy, and we
should do all in our power to make
home cheerful and happy also.
Is it strange we may forget other
places entirely, but we never forget
our home. No matter how many
years we are absent the memory OF
home is ever fresh in our minds
every nook about the house, yard,
| and garden becomes endeared to us
by little incidents, trivial in them
selves, yet as we look back we see
that they helped to weave about the
dearest spot on earth amystic charm
which no other place can ever pos
sess.
We love our earthly home and dc
all in our power to make it happy,
yet it is ours for a very short time
and we should all the time be striv.
ing to gain an entrance to our Heav-
emily home, which is far more beauti.
full thai our earthly home can evel
be, AMI it will be ours forever.

done, but the doer who lasts. The
thing done often is failure. The
cup given in the name of Christ may
be given to one unworthy Of it; but
think ye that the love with which it
was given has passed away? Has it
not printed itself indelibly in the
character by the very act Of giving?
Bless, and if the Son of peace be
there, your act succeeds; but if not,
your blessing shall return unto you
again. In other words, the act may
fail, but the doer of it abideth for
ever.
There are things precious, notfrom
the materials of which they are made,
but from the risk and difficulty OF
bringing them to perfection. The
speculum Of the largest telescope foils
the opticians skill in casting. Too
much or too little heat-the interpo-
sition of grain OF sand, slight
alteration in the temperature of the
weather. and all goes to pieces-it
must be recast. Therefore, when sue
cessfully finished, it is q matter for
almost the congratulation of coun-
try. Rarerer, and more difficult still
than the costliest part OF the most
delicate Of instruments, is the COM
pletion Of Christian character. Only
let there come the heat Of persecu.
ton, or the cold Of human desertion
. little Of the worlds dust, and the
rare and costly thing is cracked, and
becomes q failure.

The arrival of two large freight team. thjs morning in front of Sum. merfield Bros store, caused our re. porter to pause while going the rounds of the city for news. After waiting . few minutes he observed several large packing cases being unloaded. This excited his curiosity, and he repaired to the interior of the store where he found them being unpacked, and no ticed that they were filled with boys and mems clothing, which are espec- ially suited for the holidays.
 We also observed several cases which contained full line of holiday presents such as silk handkerchiefs, plain handkerchiefs, embroidered handkerchiefs, initial handkerehiefs and in fact almost everything that is suitable for holiday presents. Mir. Summertield stated to us that he had employed force of six extra clerks, so that everybody could be waited upon at once and not be kept waiting. We would advise all parties desiring holiday goods, or who would like to make their lady or gentleman friend a suitable present, to visit the store of Summerfisld Bros, and they will find what they want. 12-2I If
