PROTECTION AND SLAVERY.

Protection and slavery are not only alike in character but the arguments by which slavery was justified are strikingly similar to those which are so often employ ed to defend our American" system. Slavery was thought to be good thing for the slaves; protection is declared to be a great boon for the workingmen. Any at tack upon slavery was an attack upon svested interests;" the same thing is true of protection. If the slaves were freed, the great cotton fields would go out of cultiva- ton, if American labor is emancipated, the mills and the factories will all have to close Like all forms of error, these two systems rest solely on assumptions, they rest on nothing. When the abolition of slavery was proposed, the great arguments ad- vanced to stay the march of civilization was, "Do you want your daughter to marry a nigger .' This was regarded as a settler. Now, when it is proposed to strike off the chains which cramp American labor, the partisan of the industrial slavery asks with trembling voice, ''Do you want to see American labor degraded to the level ot the pauper labor of Europe?'

Horses Who Were Famous.

There were many horses made famous during the middle ages. There was the mythical Hrinlfaxi of Scandinavian myth ology, the horse of night. from whose golden bit dropped the dews of heaven; and there was also Sleipnir, Odin's eight-footed steed, which traversed sea and land-the swift wind from the eight divisions of the globe There were also various legendary steeds of great renown which bore the heroes of story and song. Of these, the most noted were Aquiline, Raymond's steed; Arundel, the horse of Bevis; Bavieca, the Cid's war horse, which was buried before the monastery at Valladolid; Brigliadore tgolden bride,, Or lando's famous charger; Crane, Siegfried's wondrously swift steed; Rosinante, Don Quixote's skinny hack, and Aligero Clavi- emo, his wooden pin wing horse"
 Bayard, the horse of the four sons of Ay- mar, was so accommodating that he would grow larger or smaller as more riders mounted him. His footprints may still be seen in the south of France. Another famous steed was Bayardo, Rinaldo's horse, which was found i'll q cave guarded by dragon and which is said to be alive, but so fleet that no man can catch him. The only steed ad. mitted to heaven of which we have any ac count was Al Borak, which bore Mahome, to the seventh heaven. It was milk white had eagles wings, a hu12an face and horse': body.-F, s.

Give the Wife a Rest.

What the good man may do for his thin wife is, first. to give her three months rest.
 Not to take her forcibly away from her cares, to live at & crowded resort and worry over the home left behind, but to see that things are set right and to her mind before she goes Many a woman never knows what 1t Is to have anything her own way from girlhood to funeral, and this constant denial of preferences drives the nails in any woman's s coffin. If she wants particular sanitary ar rangement about the house, or new gar den, or some unpleasant inmate provided for, let her have it if she is worth keeping alive Then with household affairs to her mind, let her 60 where she can wear a plain dress all day. and lie on a lawn cot, which IS safer and easier than e hammock, which has trick of coming down and breaking women's backs It would be the greatest earthly luxury for 8 great many worn women to be able to go to bed at sundown and sleep enough to make up for years of watching and strain. n.-Shirley Dares Letter

New York's Itinerant Bands.

With the advent of warm weather come the little German bands These consist of from two to twenty musicians, and go around the east side dispensing music to the Germans. who. as they sit in a saloon with mugs of beer in front of them. will often give from twenty five to fifty cents to have one of the favorite tunes of their fatherland played over again. The leader of one of these bands said the other day that there were from fifty to a hundred ot the bands in this city. and more coming from Germany every week. They used to make $S and $4 day, but since the street musicians from the old country have begun to come the bands make only from ss to $25O.

PENNY PoLITIcIANs MAKING TRoU' RIE.

It is with feelings of modification that we day print minute of the meeting of the members of the democratic town committee held last evening. But we are laboring for the best interests of the party and it is our duty to let the people know that the welfare of the democratic party is lost sight of by some of the members of the committee and that their own personal advancement has blinded them to the fact that their every action is being watched and commented upon unfavorably. Last nights meeting was a good example ot all the former meetings of the committee. Thomas Moran, the senior member, from the first ward issued the call. MT Connolly, who controls two votes, his own and that of the member from the third ward, de- clared from the very opening of the meet ing that he would not agree upon any can didate the others could name for the posi- ton of chairman. He named three men whom he would support, neither ot whom was acceptable to the members from the first and second wards. NIT Moran men, tioned at least half dozed candidates and was ready to name others, men who are not known as ring politicians, and whose election to the position would not antago- nize any branch of the party. None of the candidates would satisfy the member from the fourth ward or his henchman, and as last resort MT Hayes proposed that all four should resign their positions and let the wards make another selection Connolly objected to this, say ing that he was elected and was going to stick and that Hayes and Moran could re- sign if they wished to. All of which goes to show that MT Connolly is afraid another election would result in his overthrow. Doolan also objected and it is we'll he did, for if the honest people of Brooklyn, ever have another chance at him they will bury him and dig his grave deep. There should be some way of getting rid of committee man who, when intoxicated, visited the of fee of a republican paper and disgraced both himself and the party-Doolan is the man. We have no personal risk to run ill this matter and would have been better pleased had the name of c. Maloney not been mentioned in connection with the chairmanship of the committee, because 1T such a case the DEMOCRAT would have been free to say more than it does at pres

PATRICK FORD, editor of the Irish World. has returned from Chicago and is in a very bad way. The New York Tribune says of him: "A heart-broken man who came away from Chicago with downcast countenance was Patrick Ford of the Irish World James G. Blaine is the idol of his soul among men. When the great leader refused to accept a nomina- ton except by unanimous consent of the leaders, after it had become evident that he could easily be renominated, the Irish leader broke down utterly. There was much anxious inquiry as to what he he would do in the present situation. MI Ford is pious man and man of conscience. It is predicted that he will pray over the matter and determine to support General Harrison

Her Dream of Happiness.

And is this the end, Miss Petherbridges" The speaker was young man of magnificent physical proportions. He stood erect before the fair haired girl and looked searchingly ill her eyes And as Maud Petherbridge met his gaze unfiinchingly, she felt in her inmost soul that she had never seen finer specimen of athletic manhood than Alpheus Swack hammer.
 Ut is, Mir. Swackhammer," she replied firmly, but with a tinge of sadness in her low, musical voice and her lovely eyes lumi- nous with tender pity. Deeply as it pains me to utter the words that sever the relations between us and dissipate the dream of happj ness in which we have lndulged, it must be done"
 Maud Petherbridge," exclaimed the young man, resolutely choking down the emotion that impeded his utterance, lit shall be as you wish But before close this chapter in the book of my life and go out into the cheerless, monotonous existence that will henceforth encompass me like a,dreary and limitless desert l surely have the right to ask you the reason why you have cast me forth from your heart.

 "Do not ask me, MT. Swackhammer," she said, in voice of agoniZed entreaty.
 "I insist upon knowing!"
 There was deep and oppressive silence for some moments, during which the young lady struggled to regain her wonted self-posses- sion.
 "Mr. Swackhammer," she said at length, in q tone of solemn conviction that left no doubt of her sincerity, II would spare you this if I could but it is best, perhaps, that you should know. Why! O, why" she broke forth wildly, did you have your hair clipped ! close to your headF'
 ''Is that all!" exclaimed the young man, 1 impetuously as he took a step nearer; Sit will grow out again"-
 "Iti is not that!" she replied, as she notioned him back with involuntary gesture and shook her head with a sigh of bitter despair. ''I have never told you that I am a student of phrenology. Yet am. l can now read 1 your head like an open book. MT. Swack- hammer, you have no spirituality, no sub limity, no continuity, no veneration. Your principal faculties are your combativeness and your alimentiveness. We could never study Browning together. My dream is | over"
 The young man crushed his hat down on his cropped head, and 0 moment later the walls of the princely mansions on either side of Prairie avenue echoed with the sound ot his heavy tread on the sidewalk as he strode away in the chill night air-Chicago Tribune
