A Republican Trick.

Secretary Mcpherson, of the Rcpub-
lican Congressional Committee, is in
Washington. He ONE thus early on
the ground to begin the work of the
campaign. The Republicans are en-
couraged to believe that with active
management they will be able to get
control of the next House of Repre-
sentatives. To do this they must gain
t%wenty-four districts. They anticipate
gains in Ohio, Indiana, California,
Iowa, New York, Michigan and Penn
sylvania sufficient to give them control,
but they are likewise planning for a
vigorous campaign in Tennessee and
Virginia. 1t is represented that a gain
OF two Republican members can be an
ticipated in Tennessee because of the
divisions among the Democrats of the
State on the tariff and debt questions.
In Michigan they will work to secure
every district except that in which De-
troit is located, which is graciously
conceded to the Democrats. One feat
ure of the work of the Congressional
Committee will be a Liberal distribution
of the recent speeches made by jeff
Davis. Mr.. Mcpherson will soon have
verbatim copies of these speeches, and
they are to be carefully edited, so as to
Gull from them the breathings of what
the Republicans call treason and dis
loyalty Cincinnati Enquirer.

Good Eastern Advice,

Mr.. Cleveland has never been West.
He believes in its existence, but he
couldn't swear to it as a matter of
personal knowledge. What better op-
portunity could he have than that af-
forded by wedding trip to enjoy the
hospitality and become acquainted with
the wonders of that marvellous region.
Living here at the East is mere stagna-
ton compared to the velocity of life
out there. Accustomed to drowsy VIII
lagos like Buffalo and Albany, he can
have no conception of the tumultuous
progress and vivacity of the communi-
ties that 10 dot the primevai bison
ranges. If he needs shaking up thew
are just the people to shake him. If
his understanding lacks breadth, there
are the visions to broaden it. IF his
imagination is dull. there he will find
the means to kindle it. He could not
come into contact with so much ami
nation, he could not traverse scenes os
such extraordinary development with
out cracking the crust of his prov;n.
cialism, and feeling bigger and better
for the experience. -Brooalya DaiI,,

TWO POETS.

The Ideal Love Existing Between Mr.. and
Mrs. Browning.
"And you saw her oftenp" asked q
listener of the English lady who was
speaking of Mrs. Browning. eyes,
very often. Twas in Italy that winter.
She had come down to Rome for a little
change, and went to see her almost
every day. All, that was something to
remember!' s'Was she beautiful"
asked the listener. "Tell me about
her."
"No, she was not what people call
beautiful; but she was more than better.
l can see her now, as she lay there on
her sofa. l saw her sitting up.
She was always in white. She wore
white dresses, trimmed with white lace,
with white, fleecy shawls wrapped
round her, and her dark brown hair
used to be let down, and fall all about
her like a veil. Her face used to seem
to me something already not of the
earth-itw was so pale, so pure, and with
great dark eyes that cleaned like stars.
Then her voice was so sweet that you
never wanted her to stop speaking, but
it was also SO low you could only hear
it by listening carefully"
"Was Mr.. Browning therep"
'tOh yes, and he used to watch her as
one watches who has the most precious
object in the whole world to keep guard
over. He looked out for her comfort
as tenderly as a woman.
81 think there never WaS another
marriage like that; a marriage that

you notice how Browning always speaks
of finding again the soul of his soulp'
1t was easy enough to see that that was
just what she was. And the boy was
there, too, a little fellow, with long
golden hair, and 1 remember how quiz
city he used to play, how careful he
was not to disturb his mother. Some
times he used to stand for a long time
beside her, with her spirit small hand
as her husband called it, just playing
with his curls. 1 wonder if he can have
known that she was going away from
him sc soon.
Sometimes I have thought he felt
some premonition of it, he was so quiet
and loving and unlike other children;
but perhaps it was only because his
father had taught him, above all things,
not to disturb mamma"
1.-The end came soon after thatp"
eyes, very soon. Only think, that
was q quarter of a century ago, and the
son is a bluff, hearty-looking English
mar now, painting pictures and carving
statues, and the husbands hair has
grown white as snow, and no other
woman has ever taken the place she
left vacant. Well. I'm glad 1 saw her
when she was only almost but not yet
quite an angel."-Youh's Companion.

MIR. Blaine denies his ]

-Mr. blame denies his recent in
terview on the fishery question. MIR
Blaine's denials are always effective in
establishing the truth of whatever he
denies. - Chicago Times.
Here is another occasion for q
Bourbon howl. Postmaster-Genera
Villas refuses to discharge the colored
servant in his department to make
room for a white man from Confederate
x Roads. Truly. the revolution re-
VOTED in vain.-M Y. World.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Blaine
is getting together a strong organiza-
ton, and yet we believe the next Re-
publican convention will hesitate long
before it decides to nominate a man
who has the prest ge of defeat. We
car assure Mr.. Blaine that moi only
would he fail to carry New York, New
Jersey, Indiana and Connecticut in
1888, but that Wisconsin would also
cast its electoral vote against him.-N.

Congress is plainly to blame for
the pending fisheries dispute and the
seizure of the Adams. President Cleve-
land felt the imminence of this very
danger. and in his message last Decem-
Der urged Congress to provide for a
mixed commission to settle ''the entire
question of the fishery rights of the
two governments and their respective
citizens" on these coasts; but our law
makers have been too busy to attend
to this imperative requirement.-Wash

the managers of both parties will be
wise not to ignore as the time ap-
proaches for the summer campaign.
Making due allowance for all mistakes
of inexperience, and perhaps of too
great self-reliance, it is still true that
the things for which the President most
stoutly stands, in politics and in gov
eminent, are the things which the in
telligence, the virtue and the business
sense of this country believe in. Any
mistake on this point will be disastrous
to the politicians who make it.-Boston

|General Logan announced a very
important discovery recently in his
Providence speech, n which bids fair
to solve the labor problem if both en-
ployers and employees will give their
undivided attention to it. What is
needed, he says, in order to secure har-
mony between labor and capital is to
pay a fair days wages for a fair days
work. The simplicity of this remedy
must strike every body with sudden
and peculiar force. The customary
way of looking at the subject-that of
paying an unfair days wages for a fair
days work, or a fair days wages for
an unfair days works clearly at the
bottom of all the disturbances of the
Y. Post.

ALL IN VANITY.
L. G. GOULD, Publisher

He whistled an open air,
As those who can whistle will do;
They said, with a sarcastic stare:
why can't you invent something newr
He told them a joke that he re ad,
But soon he his folly did rue;
They simply looked tired and said:
why can you invent something new?"
he sang them a popular song,
His voice was equaled by few;
Their faces told something was wrong;
They told him to sing something new.
he made a remark that was bright,
But instantly weary they grew;
And one Of them said, IN his flight:
why can't you invent something new2'
The strain on his poor frightened wits
To something quite horrible grew;
Now in an asylum he sits,
And tries toinvent something newt

An elderly gentleman, to redeem a
promise of a buggy-ride to a little girl
OF four years, called at her home last
Sunday afternoon to take her out of

of the weather, and, instead of the child
showing disappointment, she followed
the gentleman to the door and said: 81

Brer Lazarus turned his glass upside
down. June took the hint and refilled
it. Brer Lazarus slipped it slowly,
stroking his chin at intervals in self
absorption. At last he broke the silence:
