pension in the hands of q wounded Union sol
der.

most insidious forms

that s'the personal spite with which some Demo
Gratis are led caused all the commotion now

Muncie Times: If the Democratic party can
honor traitors while it casts out loyal Union sol

about the reform of the 'robber tariff" was for
political effect Everybody knows that all the
money collected under the tariff as it is, is need

ment, interest on the public debt pensions, etc.
To down the present tariff in any great amount
is to put off the payment of the public debt.
Africa Ledger: The restoration or EltZ John
Porter to the army rolls is in keeping with the
times when it has become the thing to honor
the leaders of the Rebellion, and to canonize
their memory The trend of the times is in the
wrong direction, and it appears that there is
every incentive offered the implacable South to
go in the direction that proved so disastrous
to the country in the early sixties.
Princeton Clarion: Point to a single instance
in which the Democratic party has fulfilled
promise! Has it improved the condition of the
laboring man? 1t promised to bring them to all
classes Has it increased the price of wheat,
corn or other produce of the farm! 1t promised
to. Where the good things to have
under Democratic ascendency? They have not
come. In powefits only wish is Office.
Rochester Republican: The coming Fourth of
July, more than any for some wears past should
be used as an educator Socialists and Anarch-
lists should be taught that Americans regard the
Fourth of July and its associations as something
more than sentiment The boys and girls
should be taught anew the lessons of patriotism,
and the whole land take step nearer to 'the
flag of beauty and glory" and resolve that,
though the powers of evil combine, not star
shall be dimmed nor stripe trail in the dust
