A Mnther,S Love.

A mothers love has sweet and
holy influence. In our hours of aillic-
ton, when sorrow and trouble hover
over us, and when our pathway is
strewn with thorns, il is mothers
love that cheers us and bids us look to
a brighter future. She will rise above
misfortune with an unblanched cheek
and unterrified look, so that the chill
dren of her affection be spared. We
can have but one mother, and that
mothers love should be regarded as
the greatest blessing and hottest gift
bestowed by divine being. 1t should
not be cast carelessly aside, but should
be watched and courted with vigilant
eve. 1t is not treasure that can be
thrown away, and then be found or re-
placed by another; it is love that sur
wives the grave, and which eternity
can not obliterate. But there is a
closing scene in every life. The hour
of death will separate a child from a
mothers love; the anguish of such a
bereavement must be keenly felt, and
when we mourn over the grave of her
who loved us so well, there is a melan-
choly Joy in the thought that our love
was returned, and that the influence of
that mothers love will guard and pro-
tect and be our star of hope in our
Journey through life and an inheritance
in the land of bliss. None but those
who have stood by the grave of a
mother can truly realize what mother
is to them. Alas! how little we APP
preciate a mothers tenderness while
living, but when she is dead and gone,
when the cares and GOODNESS of the
world come whitening to our heart,
when we experience how hard it is to
find true sympathy, how few love us for
ourselves, how few will befriend us in
misfortune, then it is that we think of
the mother we have lost. There is an
mother to her children that transcends
all other affections of the heart. 1t is
neither to be chilled by selfishness,
worthlessness, nor stifed by ingrati-
tude. She will sacrifice every comfort,
surrender of every pleasure to their en-
joyment. She will glory in their fame
and eXult in their prosperity. If mis-
fortune overtake them, they will be
dearer to her; and if disgrace settles
upon their name, she will love and cher
ish them in spite of it. A father may
turn his back on his child; brothers and
sisters may become enemies; husbands
may desert their wives, wives their hus.
bands, but a mothers love endures
through all. She still hopes that hel
child may return from his evil ways
and repent. Well she remembers the
Joyous shout of his childhood, the open.
ing promise of his youth, and thinking
of these she never can be brought tC
think him all unworthy. Young man
speak kindly to your mother; but lit
tie while and you shall see her no more
forever. Others may love you wher
she has passed away Perhaps kind
hearted sister, or she whom of all the
world you have chosen for a partner
a wife may love you passionately, chill
dren may love you fondly, but never
again while time is yours will the love
Of another be you what mothers love
has been.-Household Monthly.

RINGING noises in the ears, sometimes a
roaring, buzzing sound, are caused by ca
tarrh, that exceedingly disagreeable and
very common disease. Loss of smell or
hearing also result from catarrh. Hoods

peculiarly successful remedy for this dis
ease, which it cures by purifying the blood.

TIE official returns from the late elec-
ton in Oregon show an even more sig
nifcant Republican victory than preyi-
vious reports indicated. The total vote
is 60,207-nearly 5000 more than were
cast at the Presidential election Of 1884,
and 5000 more than in 1886. Herman
(Republican) received -, $50 votes for
Congress, the Democratic candidate re-
ceived 25,413, and Miller, Prohibition
ist, 1874 The Republican plurality is
7,407. The Republican gain is nearly
II per cent. of the total vote of 1854.
Similar gains all over the country would
give the Republicans this fall the elect
oral votes of all the doubtful States, and
those of Florida, Maryland, Missouri,
West Virginia, and the the certain Re
publican States, making total of 3lI
out of 401 electoral votes. When it Is
recollected that the issue in Oregon was
souarely made and fought out on the
tariff-the issue as presented by the
Democratic President, the Democratic
majority in Congress, and the Democrat
ic platform of 1888, there is good en-
couragement to the Republicans to press
that issue among the people. Protection
or free trade is the paramount issue.

WITH the exception of Lincoln at his
second election, Senator Sherman would
have been the most majestic Presidential
figure since Henry Clay. Scott and Grant
were great soldiers and conquerors, but
wholly without experience in civil affairs.
Mr.. Sherman was resplendent in origin
ating and perfecting measures to clothe
and feed and pay great armies, formu-
lating the tariff, the war loans, match
less banking system, commanding fig
ure in the reconstruction of the ex-rebel
States, and supreme in the resumption of
specie payments. Above all living pub
lie men he best represents the demand for
the observance and enforcement of the
war amendments of the Constitution
He is a "talI, sun-crowned man, above
"the fog in public duty and in private
thinking" Like Henry Clay, he has
failed to reach the Presidency, but what
sorry figures your common place Presi-
dents will cut in history alongside such
men!

TIE OLD WINGS AND THE TARIFF

TIE OLD WINGS AND THE TARIFF
Chicago Tribune
There are considerable outcroppings al
ready of what our New York namesake
calls Il " Tippecanoe and Tariff Too cam
paign, especially in the old Wing Southern
States, that may change their complexion
by Il revival of "reminiscences calling up
again in the minds of old Wings the mem
ories of the log cabin and hard cider days.
In the Old WLig States of Tennessee,
North Carolina. and the two Nirginias,
which were carried for Harrison, Clay,
and Taylor, it viii not require radical
change to turn them over to the grandson
of William Henry, and a revival OF Wing
sentiment NAV not be difficult TO achieve.

That State has 81 counties and thus it is

And there is little Delaware, formerly
an intensely protection Wing state. It
was carried by Hancock over Garfield by
only 100 votes. Who knows but 1t may

some hope for Florida and fer the old pro

AGAINST sALOON POLITICS.

Minneapolis Letter, july l.
Albert Griffin, Chairman Of the Anti
Saloon Republican National Committee,
has issued an address to the country, in
which he summarizes the work Of the Ma
tional Republican Convention on temper
ance matters, and appeals to the voters to
support the ticket nominated by that Con
ventiOn. He gives as reasons for his ad-
vice that the platform commits tie party
against the national whisky ring protec-
ton tax. that Harrison is pronounced
anti-SalOOnist. and that ringing temper
ance plank was after all added to the plat
form. The friendliness of the Republican
party to the temperance cause is further
argued in the statement that in nearly
every Republican State the Legislatures
have in the last two years antagonized the
saloon element.

THE immense Harrison and Morton
ratification meeting in New York was
largely made up of intelligent working
men, who have no use for a free trade
party, and numbers of their leaders sat
upon the platform. Nearly all the lead
ing organizations of labor have declared
against the Presidents free trade mes
sage and Mills bill, and will vote to sus-
tain the doctrine and party of protection
Labor is in revolt everywhere against
the free trade purposes of the Southern
Democrats who control the Democratic
party.

THE Portland Oregonia3, an Indepen-
dent Republican journal of Portland,
Ore, gives thelie to the silly talk about
General Harrison's unpopularity on the
Pacific coast. 1t says his record on the
Chinese question is just and right, and
entirely satisfactory to the people of the
Pacific Coast. The OreGoniaR is excel
lent authority, and its hearty endorse
ment of the ticket guarantees that Ore
gon win roll up as large a Republican
majority in November as it did in June.
The Republicans need not fear for the
Pacific Coast States. They are all right.

MAYOR HEWITT, of New York says
that General Harrison is "a good man,
a good-looking man, perfect gentle
man, and one to whom no fair-minded
man can take exception" These are
very nice words from lifelong Demo-
crat. Mayor Hewitt is an able man
and a good Judge of gentleman. 1t is
noticeable that he has not complimented
Cleveland in this manner. Mayor Hew-
lit is truthful man.

everywhere can thank God, take courage,
