THE NEW YORK Herald saws {:

1.-THE republican party is the aristocratic
party of the country, just as the tory party
is the aristocratic party Of England. The
democraticis the peoples party ofthe United
States, just as the liberal ia the peoples
party in England. The republican party is
the party Of wealth, of privilege, or special
legislation, of Capitalization ofpowers in the
hands of few. While it uses the people, it
despises them and swndes them. Its pol.
icy has always been to win by fomeDting di.
visions among its opponents. 1t leaders in
the last Mayoralty contest in New York
hoped for the election Of Mr.. George, no!
that they believed with Mr.. George or sym.
pathized with the lahoring masses, but be-
cause anything was welcome to them which
would divide and defeat the democracy"
Every word of this is true; and yet there
are ill.infornled, prcjudiced or disingenuou:
people III Virginia who say the democratic
party is the aristocratic party. The demo
cratic party WAS created by the people, hai
been the peoples party from is birth, nnt
will be until its death. lts object is the
greatest good to the greatest number-that
Is, to the people Aud still it is just such 6
party that Senator Sherman and all th.
other leaders Of the republican party say

The municipal tax rate of Alexandria is one

city treasury, and the members Of the City
Council, If they have the real and true in
terests Of the city at heart, will order its
expenditure in the redemption of corpora

of yearly interest the city has TO pay, and to
that extent lower the tax rate.

perfectly willing to make the amende honorable.

concerning the alleged attempted crime
were true. 81 don't care to talk about itn

The Structure OF the Skin.

Roughly speaking, the skin is com
posed Of two layers-the cuticlo or scar
skin and the corlum or true skin. The
former is principally made up of two
portions, the horny layer, which IS the
principal protective to the body, and the
mucous layer, which contains cells to be
pushed up aud become the horny layer
after awhile, and these contain the col
oTing substance which gives the tint to
tho complexion. 1t is true that some OF
the microscopes are uncertain about the
transformation of the mucous into the
horny layer of the skin, but it is difficult
to imagine where the outside protection
comes from if not from the layer next
under it, The true skin is composed Of
a network Of fibres intermixed with par
ticles of living matter abuadantyy sup
piled with blood vessels, nerves and all the
apparatus necessary for continuous sup
ply Of fresh materials for the build
ing zap Of new structures as we'll as Of
means for removing those that are worn
out. The glands for the secretion of the
perspiration and for the formation of q
fatty, lubricating matter are to be found
almost everywhere, as we'll as the little
Sacs to give origin to the hairs. which
are mere notifications of the cells of the
skin. The nervous apparatus for the
sense of touch is almost everywhere pres
emf, much more abundantly in some To-
caliticS than in others. Muscular fibres
are found in connection with the hair
Sacs and glands for keeping the skin
oily and supple; they are not under the
control OF the will, but act to squeeze
out the lubricating material and to raise
the hairs to an upright position, as in
the so-called "goose skin, noticed under
the influence of cold and sometimes of
fear Globe Domocrqt
