raE VICTORY or rEAcE.

The proposition made to erect al Wash
ingfon a monument OF the late war-a
pufely national memorial, showing that
Inc union Is restored, and that all the
people of the union are glad of the res,o-
rrtion--is one that deserves attention by
every citizen Index Appeal.
There could be nothing grander than
such A monument TO assert the fact OF tue
absolute reunion OF the American peO.

quarrel over constitutional question
and a peculiar institution, and remind
the coming generations that our Gov
eminent is such great thing In The pro-
qress of humanity that 1t could stand
such a shock as the great civil war.
The result after all the life and treasure
lost was an understanding that the States
can be sovereign as part Of the Union
The judiciary since the war has shown
that partizisn power could not control
fits high functions as to guardian of our
liberties. Men will do we'll to remember
that a Republican Supreme Court In the
excited days OF the after war period alb
rogated the reconstruction acts Of Con
gress. The mslign spirit Of the Radicals
yilted before the clear sense OF the
Judges Of their own party and II was
the brightest days in modern history
when the people OF the United States
could recognize the fact that there was a
power that commanded and enforced
obedience to justice just by the recog-
nized and sacred authority of justice.
With these facts In view the American
people reunited in patriotic feeling and
in business relations and knowing that
their destiny must be the same, might

A clergyman's Criticism.

A clergyman who has married hun
dreds Of couples among the fashionable
circles Of our seaboard cities, said lately:
The criticism may seem Uncbaritable,
but it Is matter of sober fact that in
half Of the marriages which come under
my observation, there was reason to sup
pose that the motive of either bride or
bridegroom was TO better her or his
worldly condition.
The reason Of this is, not that the
young American is less capable Of deep,
unselfsh feeling than the young mer Of
other nations. bat that he has learned TO
attach more importance than they do to
the lu~uries and display of life. lie has
not the money to provide as comfortable
or splendid home for BIS wife as his
father Ia. given him, hence he looks out
for q "gigl with money who will and
can provide it for hcrself.-Nouth's Com

POPLAR SOVEREIGNTY.

One of the ideas that has not been
far enough advanced in the canvass is
that the Democratic party is the only
true party of the peoples rights, recog-
nizing popular sovereignty, and repre-
sentation not as rulers, but as trustees
and servants
When the American Revolution estab-
lished the fact that the Government was
not the personal property of family by
the right of an alleged tradition, then
the whole character of politics changed,
and, of course, as the American Reyolu-
ton has teen a success, other peoples
will in time adopt our system.
The cry Of popular liberty is much
more serious than the average man
thinks. 1t means what our Constitution
calls for, viz: Liberty to do what you
will except 10 trespass on the rights
of others.
Now the liberty Of the American peo-
pie has been curtailed in the most tyrani-
cal manner by laws that force our citi-
zens to buy the necessities of life attTice
what people in other countries pay.
Our tariff policy is policy OF isolation,
and class legislation has made it so. The
few people have benefited by it, but the
great bulk Of our people has suffered
from 1t, The consequence has been that
our ocean carrying trade, which at one
time was second only to that of England
has dwindled into almost nothingness
As Ben Butterfield, of Ohio, said in a re-
cent speech before q Boston audience
sit was never contemplated by our peo-
pie that the immense volume of our trade
should be damned up and rolled back
upon ourselves, and that a system that
smacks of a ruder civilization should
continue to dwarf our enterprise and re-
tsrd our development
Now in view of this great difficulty the
remedy is for the people to assert their
sovereign power and administer radical
remedy.

Simple Indian Remedies.

The Indians on the plains have a num-
Der Of simple remedies for ordinary ills

with saliva. When a man hicc0ughs
they get him TO saoeze, and the sneeze
usually ends the attack On a boil they
blow for minutes at a time, keeping tho
sore place damp at the same time, and
thus eyaporat.ng the moisture. For "a
bleeding nose they stuff the nostril with
dust in an aggravated case. For @ light
cold they wrap q wet cold rae about the
throat at night and sleep vi,h it on.
