backs is unfair. They declare that
Mr.. Cleveland has not concerned him.
self with the petty details of politics.
but that he has been reasonably con-
siderate of the position, the power.
and, relatively speaking. of the rights
of politicians of large degree, whose
primacy in the leadership of the party
is attested by the results in contests of
large proportions. and by the consent
of large communities.
There is much to justify this con-
clusion. He who talks with men on
the street, at their places of business.
or on the avenues of travel, finds that
the President is highly respected, that
his honesty is admitted, that his firm
ness is appreciated, and that his
homely, direct, personal way of doing
things contrary to precedent and out
of routine, has commended him to the
people, as truly as it may have lost
him the regard of that limited and
superstitious class, the politicians by
profession.
The President certainly has a coign
of vantage in the Presidency itself
which is not to be lost sight of. His
administration can not be regarded as
failure without a confession of judg-
ment against the party itself. The in
clinatiOn of Democrats to succeed on
their own behalf must be made
synonymous with the effort to repre-
sent that the administration of their
own election has been successful also.
This does not mean that the party is
bound to the denomination of Mr.
Cleveland, or that Mr.. Cleveland is
bound to submit to a denomination and
to place his leisure and a large portion
of his future at the further disposition
of the people, unless he shall SO desire.
But il does mean that the party is in
good shape and that it is as able to
make the present Democratic Admins
tration an instrument in the perpetual
ton of Democratic control of the offices
as it was to make the jackson Admin
istration a factor in the election of the
Van Buren, Administration and the
Pierce Administration a factor in the
election of the Buchanan Administra-
ton.
There is no disposition among Demo-
cratic statesmen and politicians to an
tagonize the President low, or in 1886
to commit themselves to an unalter-
able programme for loss. But there
is a realization of the collective strength
of the Democratic party, and there is,
so to speak, reconsideration of the
lessons of the late election, which
strengthen and encourage the heart of
the party, and which correspondingly
depress the expectation and hope of its
adversaries.-Ge George Hope, IN Brook

Intubation of the Larynx.

The operation of tracheotomy, by
which an opening is made with the
knife into the windpipe for the relic
of membranous Group and diphtheria,
seems likely to be superseded by the
intubation of the larynx. In this new
operation small tube is inserted
through the mouth into the windpipe,
and all necessity for cutting opera
ton is thus avoided. 1t is claimed by
the advocates of this method of treat
ment that it is far easier to introduce
this tube than to perform tracheotomy,
and that more lives are saved than BY
the old operation. The statistics which
are given in the medical journals 60
far to confirm their opinions. and as
the process is being generally intro
duced, but little time will be necessary
to substantiate the claims made for it,

A Great Difference.

Secretary Lamar has been making
some rafting speeches in the South
west and telling the people that the
United States is pretty fair place to
live in after all. Though he did not
avoid the subject Of the war and for
mer sectional differences, he expressed
the belief that the North and the South
have reached stage III their history
when they can lock arms and march
through 1.-The corridors of time" to the
music of the Union. Let us see-Sec-
rotary Lamar is Southern man.
Mr.. Blaine has been making a tour
through Pennsylvania and New Jer-
sey, dong his best to keep the old
ante-bellum antagonisms alive. He
has shaken them up rs kennel keeper
lashes his dogs and sets them all yelp-
ing. Then in a magnificent peroration
he described the tyranny of the whites
and the oppression of the blacks until
the groundlings were wild with de-
light.
1t is a little odd that the South should
accept the new order of things, while
Mr.. Blaine insists that unless the North
hates the South it yields one of its
greatest privileges and is recreant to
its most important duty.-M T.

A Democratic Senate.

Every day brings fresh evidence that
the elections resulted in grand DEM
ocratic triumph. In addition to carry
ing Minnesota, California and Colo
RADIO, and reducing the Republican
majorities in Iowa and Ohio, the party
makes such gains in State Legislatures
as will guarantee the complete obliter-
alton of the Republican majority in the
United States Senate.
In the present Senate the Republic
ans have majority of eight. 1t was
expected that there would be a slight
reduction in this majority, but the
most hopeful didn't anticipate that it
would be wiped out in single contest.
The general belief was that by 1889
sufficient changes might be made to
change the complexion of the body,
but the late victory has made it posi-
bic BY the fourth of March next.
This is the most important result of
the elections. To have the support of
the Senate to the Democratic Admins
tration is strengthening the arm of the
party more directly and effectively
than any other agency could ac-
complish. With such a result the Dem
Gratis have no reason to complain of
the late election. -HdrriS6urq Patriot.

100 Doses One Dollar
For Good Purposes.

Mrs. N. A. Dauphin, of Philadelphia, is
we'll known to the ladies of that city from
the great good she has done by means of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
She writes Mrs. Pinkham of a recent in
teresting case. a young married lady
came to me suffering with a severe case Of
Prolapsus and liberation. She commenced
taking the Compound and in two months
was fully restored. In proof of this she soon
found herself in an interesting condition.
Influenced by foolish friends she attempted
to evade the responsibilities of maternity.
After ten or twelve days she came to me
again and she was indeed in a most alarm
ing state and suffered terribly. i gave her
a tablespoonful of the compound every
hour for eight hours until she fell asleep,
she awoke much relieved and evidently
better. She continued taking the Com
pound, and in due season she became the
mother of a fine healthy boy. But for the
timely use Of the medicine she believes her
life would have been lost"

TRIBUTE TO HONESTY.

President CIeveIand's Fitting Reception
at the Hands of Harvard's Scholars,
Both Old and YOung-Instructive Words.
There was a warmth and heartiness
about the greeting extended to Mr..
Cleveland in Boston that testified how
close and strong are the bonds that
unite him to the people. 1t was a spon-
taneous tribute to a faithful official,
honest, straightforward public servant,
who places duty before every thing and
is staunch and true under all circum-
stances. In the oldest and most emil
nent university in America, surrounded
by the most distinguished representa-
tives of New England education and
culture, the Democratic President
was the recipient of honors and
courtesies of which any man
might be proud From the reyered
president of Harvard down to the
youngest graduate, every one was
eager to testify his respect and ad-
miration for Mr.. Cleveland While
much of this enthusiasm was owing to
the high Office of the distinguished
visitor, very large proportion of it
was caused by the sterling qualities
which have characterized his public
career. The unvarying success Of that
career, due to fidelity, high purpose
and earnestness, was an example to
the young men around him and a sub
Ject of admiration to their elders and
professors. The occasion was one,
also, calculated to inspire the most
sluggish breast. Fair Harvard, young
and vigorous, ardent and ambitious,
after two hundred and fifty years of
life, was in her gayest and brightest
mood. Around her gathered her chill
dren, among them men of worldwide
fame, all filled with the same affec-
tionate feeling for their alma Hater.
To her were offered the noblest tributes
that American lips could utter in Mr..
Lowe!ls grand Grafton and DR..
Holmes impressive poem. Most in
structive TO the young graduates were
Mr.. Cleveland well considered words
Oh the duties of American citizenship.
After ali it comes to tins. the people of the
United States have one and all sacred mis-
sion to perform, and your President not more
surely than every other citizen who loves his
country must assume a part of the resDOnSi-
billy OF demonstrating to the world the sue
cess OF popular government No man can
hide his talent in napkin and escape the
condemnation his sloIhfulness deserves. nor
evade the stern sentence which his Ia thlesS-
ness invites In parting with You now let me
express the earnest hope that Harvard's
alumni may ways honor the venerable insti-
tuition which has hOnored them, and that no
man who fOrgets or neglects his duty to
American citizenship shall find his Alma Nd
ter here.
1t was day to be remembered in the
annals of Harvard and one worthy of
the occasion and the distinguished as
semblage. And in the opinion of many
who attended the quarter millenial. the
brightest feature there was the pres
ence of 1.-the handSomest Democrat in
America. "-AIjany Argus.

AFRICAN SAVAGES.
People on the Congo Who Roll Their Dead
Relatives in Big Bales of Cloth.

Relatives in Big Bales of Cloth.
Walcke, on his return from five
years on the Congo, has given some
interesting details in regard to the peo-
pie of its banks. Those of the lower
river have been brutalized by the i'm
portation of liquor, and form a strong
contrast with the people of the interior,
who have so far escaped without demon
alization. On the upper river the Bas-
sunde are the first people to dress their
hair. 1t is noted that those tribes who
neglect their hair are deficient in physi-
cal and moral qualities. With the Bas-
sunde it takes several hours to per-
form the toilet. They are polygamous,
the wives living in pairs in little huts
grouped around the principal house,
where the head of the family resides.
marriage is simply matter of bar
gain and sale. The number of wives
in some sort gauges the Importance IF
the husbands. They have no cere-
mony in connection with marriage or
birth, but a funeral is the occasion of
much display. 1t is fortunate for the
traders that these people, who wear
hardly anything but breech-clout in
life, when dead consume immense
quantities of cloth. A man who has
not worn twenty yards of cloth in his
whole life will be rolled in four
hundred yards to be buried.
When a death occurs the body is en-
ergetically washed, half the village
joining in the work with loud cries
and hOwls and distribution of rum.
The body is put in a sitting posture
and painted red. The chief de-
pressions are then stuffed out
with dead leaves, and the
whole is rolled with cloth into a cylin-
drical bale. The process goes on for
three months, as the body is not put
under the ground until all the dead
mans estate is exhausted in the pur-
chase of material. Meanwhile it is
placed in a specially constructed hut.
The bigger the bale the greater the
dead mans credit; so that, in case of
chief. the people will sometimes con-
tribute to enlarge his wrappings. FL

larly fine piece reserved for the pur-
pose, and is carried in triumph about
the village, and then buried with salYos
of musketry, which, if the powder
holds out, are repeated nightly over
the grave for some time. As usual
among the negroes, the death is al
ways ascribed to sorcery, any one sus-
pected being obliged to undergo the
ordeal of drinking certain prepare
ton. If within certain time the sus-
pect is overcome by the effects of the
draught, he is put to death as muir
derer. The cult of the people is pure
fetichism; they have a fetch for each
sort of danger to which they may be
by chance exposed-one for serpents,
one for crocodiles, etc. A native being
told that he must be happy at being
safe from crocodiles, replied: Not at
all; the fetch loses its power when
brought near the water" They APP
pear to serve merely as a sort of re-
minder what dangers are to be avoided.
