It il almost impossible to and an influential DEM
ocrstic newspaper that does not demand either that
Mr.. Garland shall dispose OF his telephone stock or
resign from the cabinet. Whatever the degree OF
his guilt innocence, 1t IS apparent that his rela-
ton to the two things Is provoking scandal, and
the democratic party wants scandals. II has seen
enough OF them among it's opponents to know that,
like boils. the best place for them is somebody

But Mr. Garland proposes to remain and
Mr.. Cleveland proposes to let him stay. II
is for his pecuniary interest to be where he
can do the most to advance the value of his
own telephone stock.

Horatio Seymour.

The death of Ex-Governor Seymour of
New York, which took place on Friday, the
10Th inst, at the home of his sister. Mrs
Roscoe COnkling, removes from earth
another Of Americas most distinguished citi-
zens, and one of the greatest among the
leaders Of the democratic party. Mr. Sey-
mour's death, like that of the illustrious
soldier, who had just preceded him to the
spirit land, was comparatively sudden and
wholly unexpected up to very short time
previous to his deceaso, and served to intens-
ify the sorrow of Nation already in mourn
ing.
Mr. Seymour was man OF large oxperi-
ence in public affairs, and, while Compare
lively young man became a trusted adviser
and counselor in the ranks of the democratic
party with which he identified himself in
his youth and to which he remained devoted
ly attached during his entire life.
When only thirty years of age, he W, 8
chosen n member of the New York assembly,
OF which body he subsequently became the
speaker. He ran five times for the COVER
norship of New York, was twice elected and
thrice defeated. In 1868, after one of the
most exciting national conventions ever held,
nc received the nomination at the hands Of
his party for the presidency of the United
States, for which office he was overwheim-
ingly defeated by General Grant. Since
that time he has taken no active part in po-
litical matters, but has aided his party grea {

MANY of the leading democratic papers OF

PERFECT NONSENSE.

Away with such fleeing stories,
and when you wish to get your
moneys worth. and more too, go and
trade at Smiths. Buy your clothing
from a responsible house, and from a
person that is responsible for what

other than the Long Brick Store.

BUT NOT TO-DAY.

Some time, when all life's lessons have been
 learned
 And suns and stars forever set, The things which our weak judgment here has
 spurned,
 The things OCT which we greved with lashes
 wet
 Will flash before Us out of lifes dark night, As stars shine most in deeper tints of blue: And we shall see how all Gods plans were right, And how what seemed reproof was love most
 true. And we shall see that, while we frown and sigh. Gods plans go on as best for you and me: How, when We called He needed not our cry Because His wisdom to the end could see. And cen as prudent parents disallow Too much of sweet to craving babyhood. So God, perhaps, k keeping from us now Llfe's sweetest things because it scemeth good. And if, some time comminging with life's wine, We find the WormwOOd and rebel and shrink, Be sure d wiser hand than yours or mine Pours out this potion for our lips to drink And if some friend We love is lying low, Where human kisses cannot reach his face. Oh! do not blame the loving Father SO. But bear your sorrow with obedicnt grace. And you shall shortly know that heightened
 breath
 Is not the sweetest gift God sends his friend And that sometimes the sable pall oi death ConccAls the iairest boon his life can send If We could push ajar the gates of life And stand within and all Gods workings see, We would interpret all this doubt and strife And for each mystery find key. But not today. Then be content poor heart God plans, like lilies pure and white unfold We must not tear the close-shut leaves apart, Time will reveal the calyxes of gold And if. through patient toil, we reach the land, Wherc tired feet with sandals looscd may rest. There we shall clearly know and understand, And, more, then We shall say that God knew
