The AllolDIOr'u Mistake.

Exchange,
The ancient town Of Medford, the seal
Of the old Lawrence dlstillery, has fol
many years been famous for the extra
quality Of its spurious product, which
Mas been attributed 10 the purity Of itl
water and the pains taken In preparing
and refining 1t. So great ts its reputation
among the trade that the term "0ld Med
ford" Is now applied to oil choice grades
OF rum improved by age. But the late
Rev, Charles Brooks, an orthodox clergy
man, who many years ago was the &C.
teemed and talented pastor or large 30
Ciety In that town, was IMMERSED In bar
room literature and Connoisseur only
in communion wine. So 1t hap
pened one time that he was
induced TO attend q special town
meeting, called to consider some matters
OF local interest to the citizens; and the
proposition before 1t meeting his cordial
an probation, he got up and made rous'
ing speech In It's favor Just before the vote
was taken, winding up with the emphatic
declaration, II do love old Medford." VI
course this patriotic sentiment was greeted
with rounds OF applause, mingled how.
ever, with such bosterous laughter as to
irritate the unsophisti0ated person and
led him to think that his sincerity was
discredited. So he turned aerCely upon
his auditors and exclaimed with nolittle
warmth:

believe 1t or not"
This brought down the house with up.
roarious merriment, and cries Of "Good
for you'll" ave don't doubt your word

was not until one Of bis parishioners came
to the rescue that the bewildered parson
was able to comprehend the misconstruC'
ton put upon his remarks.

found q Chicago gambler who was inviting
any adventurous soul who would bet So
TO pick the jack out Of the three cards that
formed his working capital. The young
man said he didn't bet no S., but
II the gambler had any money he had a
$50 bill that would talk. The bet was
made and the gambler threw the cards.
"Now you bet $50 l can't pick up the
jack, said the ST. Louisan, with a smile
OF confidence. "Thats me, y laConiCally

The Democratic party OF to-day 10 the
same old party Of generations that have
psssed away. 1t lives to-day, but lives
only to oppose-it exists to destroy and
the accidents that put power In It's hands
seemed to be one Of those insCrutlble &C.
currenCes that puzzle the perceptions Tor
awhile, the wisdom Of which, however, is
soon disclosed. 1t has exhibited to the
world It's incapacity to govern; it has
shown to this country that It's motives are
NOT stirred by that patriotism which has
ever distinguished the acts and deeds oil
the party that was born in sdverSltyp era
died in turmoil and baptised with the
blood Of It's liberty loving Countrymen'
The Republican party has handed over
TO the Democracy country rescued from
the isugs Of the destroyer and crowned
with q prosperity unparalleled in the his
tory Of nations, This trust was handed
over to the keeping of the Democratic
party before sixty million witnesses
-ahappy, prosperous and contented peo-
ple-with loud professions and promises
Of reform aud with solemn VOW to have
an eye single to the glory oil the whole
country, But the Democratic party can
no more break away from the mouldy
traditions Of the past than the leopard
change his spots. The Inconsistencies OF
its leaders In 1861 are the blunders Of its
champions to-day, andilthe people are
awakening to the fact that the party Ia in
capable Of properly managing the truStre-
posed init.
What better evidence Of this Ia needed
than the occurrences Of the past week.
On last Thursday one Of lis most eminent
leaders sought to have the House Of Rep
rsssntatIves consider a:bill that was moth
ing more than a measure calculated to
cripple many OF the prosperous industries
Of the land. Happily it'iailed. The cry
Of this party Of shams was for reduction
Of the tariff; that the people demand some
relief from the burden Of taxation that
was said To be resting so heavily on them I;
there was a large surplus in the Treasury
and 1t must be depleted somehow. On
Tuesday, however, the wind changed, and
the same gentleman, who 1--WE days before
proposed to cut down the taxes, caught an
inspiration from the breeze and introduced
a resolutlon requiring the imposition Of a
tax to meet the expenditures required by
all pension bills passed by Congress.
This Is more than inconsistent, 1t Is q
direct blow aimed atpenslon legislation,
and an attempt to shilt responsibility for
failure TO grant pensions to worthy aPpll.
Giants. But It wont work. The party that
resorts to such subtertuges to cover up Its
real intentions will never survive the in
dlguation and rebukc that must surely
follow such practices.
The Democratic party is just as surely
being led to the pit into which 1t will fall
as the Republican party Is marching on
to victory in 1883. Its fate is written. 1t
has been weighed in the scales Of public
opinion and has not only been found glar.
ingly inconsistent but wanting in sym.
pathy with the spirit Of the age and the
progression Of the country.
