Gullibility.

The wild phantoms and shrieking cries OF o
worthless humbug can make money by impos-
ing upon the credulity ard Ignorance OF an
honest public and the supply Of this species
Of work seems more than an adequate demand.
The enunciation Of acts-facts that ha, e stood
crucial tests-facts proven by brain force ana
tangible evidence, should satisfy all laudsble
enterprises; but tho execrable practice OF
Teaching false ideas and doctrines for self
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT is truly reprchensible and
should be scorned by all classes.
When one house tells you that ioiide of Pot
ash il a poison simply because their opponents
Use IL. and because they are pandering to your
ignorance, IA they suppose, you should look
upon all such as arrant frauds and their rene
dies as unworthy public confidence, and If
those who make such assertions do not know
letter. they are a set of uaenyiable ignora-
muses..

Tho New Orleans TimesDcmocrat
warmly commends thc President for
Withdrawing the name Of John Fitzpat-
rick as United States Marshal for the
Eastern district of Louisiana. 1t was
done on the earnest protest Of the people
Of New Orleans and other parts of the
State against the nomination. The
President" says the Times-D Democrat
" was induced to make the appointment
by the politicians; he withdrew it when
he heard from the people" This is not
the first time that Mr.. Cleveland has
deferred TO the popular will when he
found that he had been deceived Stub
born and sclf-willed as he is said to be,
the President is always ready to aclSnowl-
edge and rctract an error the moment he
finds himslf mistaken, though he may be
slow sometimes to realize that he has
blundcrcd. This shows that even if he
is obstinate, he is not perverscly so, and
that he has scrupulous regard for public
sentiment as ontra-distinguishcd from
partisan pressure.

way over had the biggest Fourth Of July cele-
bratlon on record. The whole ship was cov-
cred with fage, the entire crew called out, the
band set to playing and the American Eagle
never tapped his wings on foreign ship as
he did on that occasion, There was a banquet
and concert and big time all day, and
Colonel Droop was master of ceremonies In
Germany at a review, when the Emperor
William was on the ground, Droop spread a
starry flag handkerchief over his arm and sa-
luted the Emperor, who took off his hat and
returned the compliment in great shape. 1t

If the American Government is really
indebted to the Chinese Government in
the sum of s25o,00O or any other sum,
it will of course sec that it is paid If
the Indebtedness is in the nature of an
indemnity for outrages committed upon
Chinese subjects in this country, so much
greater the obligation. If China, by the
rejection of the naturalization treaty,
signifies an unwillingncss to accept the
sum named, it does not alter in any re-
spect the moral aspect of the case. We
may lcgislatc, if we will, to Danish every
Chinaman from American soil, but VIC
cannot get rid in that way of paying
our honest debts.

ON THE STAGE,

In the rosy light of my days fair morning,
Ere ever stOrm-cloud darkened the west,
Ere ever a shadow of night gave warning,
When life seemed only pleasant guest
Why then, all humor and comedy scorning,
liked high tragedy best.
liked the challenge the feroe-toue hit duel,
Win death or parting In every act;
/ liked the villain TO be more cruel
Than thu bdsest villain could be, in fact,
For fed the fires of my mind with fuel
OF the things that my life lacked.
But as time passed on and met real sorrow,
And she played at night on the stage or my
heart.
/ found that could not forget on thS morrow
The pain had felt In her tragic part;
And, alas nOlonger needed 10 borrow
My grief from the actors art,
And as life grows older, and therefore sadder,
yet sweeter maybe. In It's autumn maze,
hnd more pleasure IN watching the gladder
And lighter order of humorous plays,
whore the m rth is az mad or maybe madder,
Than the mlrth ofm lost days.

Though the earth with aorrOw Is ripe anu rllei
