A MASS MEETING of $500 Democrats
was held in Cooper Union, New York
on Friday evening, to protest against
the denomination of David B. Hill foI
Governor by the Democratic State Con-
vention, and passed resolutions de-
nouncing the Governor in unmeasured
terms. A number of prominent Demo-
Gratis made speeches in opposition to
Hills candidacy, among them Henry
George, the most enthusiastic supporter
of Mr.. Cleveland as Free Trader. Mr..
George frankly gave his reasons for
supporting Cleveland and Thurman.
Mr.. George said
l propose to vote for them, not because
they have been nominated by the Dem
ocratic National Convention, not be-
cause they belong to what has been call
ed the Democratic party, but because
they represent the Democratic princi-
pies -(cheers) in this election, and |
think you will find before this election
is over that there are many of us who
propose to support Grover Cleveland be-
cause at last he has lifted the Democrat
ic standard against robbery, fraud and
protection Cheers because he stands
to-day for the first step in the march to-
ward Free Trade that alone will eman-
cipate labor ('Hurrahr and great ap-
plause) )-the first step in the movement
to restore to this government that sim
plicity and purity that alone will make
the Republic worthy of the name. (Ap-
plauSe.)

GRAINS OF GOLD.
low goodness heightens beauty

How goodness heightens beautyl
Never try to outshine, but to please.
Life cannot subsist in society but by
reciprocal concessions.
The first business of the philosopher is
to part with self-conceit.
Here is the egotist'S code: everything
for himself, nothing for others.
Lose not thy own for want of asking
for it; it will get thee no thanks.
1t is the bright day that brings forth
the adder, and that Graves wary walking.
Reason is, as it were, light to Tighten
our steps and guide us through the jour
ney of life.
With the wind of tribulatiOn God sep
arates, in the floor of the soul, the chaff
from the corn.
Is it not in philosophy as in love? The
more we have of it, and the less we talk
about it the better.
Forbearance and self-control smooth
the road of life, and open many ways
which would otherwise remain closed.
What hypocrites we seem to be when
we talk of ourselvesl Our words sound
so humble, while our hearts are so proud.
Philanthropy, like charity, must be-
gin at home. From this center our SYM
pathies may extend in an ever widening
circle.
For the bow cannot possibly stand al
ways bent, nor can human nature or hu-
man frailty subsist without some lawful
recreation.
For so remarkably perverse is the ma
ture of man that he despises whoever
courts him and admires whoever will
not bend before him.
We seldom talk of ourselves with sue
cess. If | condemn myself, more is be-
lieved than is expressed; if Ipraise my
self, much less.
The authority of reason is far stronger
than that of master; for he who disobeys
the one is unhappy, but he who disObeys
the other is a fool
The way to subject all things to thy
self is to subject thyself to reason; thou
shalt govern many, if reason govern
thee. Wouldst thou be crowned the
monarch of little world? command
thyself.

ABOUT TRTSTS.

From a Speech of senator Hoar. OF Massachusetts,.
MIR. Hoar made very sarcastic and
pointed remarks as to the connection Of
the Cabinet and of the Democratic par
ty with trusts. Was there, for instance,
he asked, Standard Oil Trust in this
country? And, if so. was that trust
represented in the Cabinet at this mo-
ment? Was it represented in the Sen
ate? Was it represented in the councils
of an important political party? Was
there a sugar trust, and were its repre-
sentatives consulted in the framing of a
great revenue tariff bill, and did they
have their interests looked after and
consulted? Why had not the Senator
from Texas told the Senate what he
knew about these things: Was there a
cotton trust, a cottonseed oil trust? Was
there whisky trust? And what was
its work in politics just now? Was
there an anthracite coal trust? And
where was that at work, and what was
the danger from it? There was another
trust which would like to have a lit
tie information about There was a
gentleman alluding to Mr.. Scott who
was understood to be the most powerful
and trusted counselor in directing the
Democratic campaign, who was apt to
walk from the White House down Penn
sylvania avenue to the Capitol with a
bill in his pocket (arranged at the White
House,, who was apt to have that bill
passed unanimously in the House of
Representative, and who was apt to
have it pressed through the Senate, un-
til the mistake or blunder was found out.
He would like to know whether that
gentleman had any relation to any of
these great trusts, or other interests;
whether he was interested in trusts
which put a tax on the fire of every
workingman in winter, and increased
his fare when he travelled by railroad in
the summer for pleasure or business.
The Congressional Directory showed
that that gentleman was interested as
Director in railroad companies aggrega-
ting twenty-five thousand miles of road.
Just think of it, said Mr.. HOar, twenty
two thousand miles of railroad in the
service of the Democratic party in this
election; more than all the railroads of
Great Britain and France put together
And part of these lines are in Canada.
do not wonder that the Canadian Min
lister who negotiated the late treaty went
home and told the Canadian people that
he had been told by the Democratic Sec
retary of State that the House of Repre-
sentatives and the Democratic party of
this country proposed to do exactly what
Canada desired.

AN IRISH VIEW.

American Celt (St. Louis.
President Cleveland has prescribed an,
tidote to his free trade poison, and his
Irish-American patients will be suppos-
ed to lash themselves into ecStacy and
howl with delight at the relief thus af-
forded them. To beard the British lion
in his den has never been a diStasteful
task to an Irishman, and the Presidents
message would have our highest approx
al if it had been deliverd at the proper
time and under circumstances which
would preclude suspicion of party OBJ
jects to be achieved by display of empty
iingoism. But tIrish-Americans will not
be caught mapping, and they will not
lose sight of the fact that while Presi-
dent Cleveland brandishes with one
hand the sword of retaliation, the other
bears aloft the British emblem of free
trade; and that like clever Snowman,
while he prods the lion on one side Sc
that his growls may excite their pent up
feelings, on the other he presents the
sop with which the noble animal may be
permitted to swallow the remaining sup
port of our workingmen and women,
and reduce them to the grade of semi
pauperism which prevails in his own
dominionS.

STARTLING DISCOVERY

The discovery by the inhabitants of a
locality hitherto unvisited by the pestil-
ent scOurge of fever and ague, that it ex-
lists in their very midst, is decidedly start
ling. Such discoveries are made at every
season, in every part of the Union. Sub
sequently, when it is ascertained, as it in
variably is at such times, through the
valuable experience of some one who has
been benefited and cured, that Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is thoroughly etfica-
cious eradicator of the malarial poison,
and a means of fortifying the system
against it, feeling of more security and
tranquility reigns throughout the whole
neighborhoOd. Besides the febrile forms
of malarial disease, dumb ague and ague
cake are removed by the potent action of
the Bitters, to which science also give its
sanction as a remedy for rheumatism,
dyspepsia, constipation, liver complaint,
debility, kidney troubles, and all diseases
impairing the organs of digestion and
assimilation. 96-1m

PROF. RICHARD a. PROCTOR, the As
tronomer, died at the Willard Park Hos
pital, in New York, on Wednesday of
last week, from yellow fever. He ar
rived from Oak Lawn, Fla, where he
has an observatory, on Monday, and
was Immediately Frustrated with dis
ease which the best physicians unhesita-
tingly pronounced yellow fever. Other
doctors doubted that the disease was
really yellow fever, but their doubts
were removed when the patient was
seized with the black vomit, and died
from its effects. The Professor had en-
gagged passage for Europe, intending to
sail on Saturday. His family is still at
Oak Lawn, Fla, where no cases of yel-
low fever had been reported.

EX-CONGRESsMAN JOHN ADAMS, of
New York, staunch Democrat, gave
some Indiana Democrats the following
view of the situation in New York, the
other day:
tell you Grover Cleveland is beaten.
In my opinion the Republicans will car
ry the State of New York by thirty
thousand majority. In New York city
I do not think the Democratic majority
will exceed thirty thOusond. Wait and
see. You will find that the registered
vote will be about 250,000. The actual
vote cast will be about 225,000. Blaine
received about $4,000 votes in this city.
1 think Harrison will get 105,000, so that
the Democratic majority will round out
10000 This will be easily wiped out
by the Republican majorities which will
come to the Harlem Bridge, and a like
majority for the Republicans will be
added to it.

Gov. FORAKER has a three-page arti-
Gle in the american Magczjne for Sep
tember on Tariff and LABOR" The
Governor makes some strong points in
his argument for protection, one of
which is the following:
BY means of protection we are rapid
ly reaching point not otherwise attain
able, where, as to many Of our products,
we can undersell the whole world, in
spite of pauper labor, and ultimately
have free trade without detriment to our
labor, our country or its interests. Take
any industry you may, and you will find
that it has such home competition that
there is a continual struggle to cheaper
production. The consequence is that
we have so far cheapened the produc-
ton of many of our leading manufac
turers that we can not only buy them
at less cost than we could before the
tariff duty was imposed, but we can also
export them and sell them in successful
competition with other countries. This
is true of hardware, cutlery, clocks,
watches, farm implements, glassware,
crockery ware, axes, saws, machinery,
fire arms, nails, stoves, lamps, cotton
goods and cloths and various other
things that might as appropriately be
mentioned.

From the London Sunday Times, July Is, 1883.

From the London Sunday Times, July Is, 1883.
The eectioneerng campaign in America
ought to be most interesting to the English
people for historical political, and philosoph-
icaI reasons. The main question at
issue is English Free Trade against the Cont
mental system of Protection. The Republic is
on trial. Good, conservative government, un
der Cleveland, is opposed by the rule and ruin
party of Blaine, whose friends nominated Har-
rson Thus the American people
are directly involved in the contest through
their pockets, which will be affected by the
tariff, and their future, which would be seri-
ously influenced by the restoration to power
of such fire brand as Blaine, with his home
rule sympathies and anti Canadian policy. The
American election is infinitely more important
to EngIishmen than their own internal politics
Just at this juncture, and they should observe
every phase of the campaign closely and un-
derstandingly. It is from this point Of view
that the copious dispatches to the Sunday
Times are cabled. The result of the Ameri-
can election will he p to decide many import
ant issues in Great Britain.

THE latest trick of the thoroughly
frightened and dishonest Democrats OF
Indiana consists in sending man about
over the State who is organizing alleged
Knights of Labor lodges, in which all
the officers are Democratic and politics
are discussed openly. The man has nc
authority from the Knights of Labor,
and those deluded into joining are pay
ing their initiation fees and assessments
directly into the Doodle fund of the
Democratic party and the pockets of
this organizer. There isn't anything too
mean, too contemplate, or too dishonest
for an Indiana Democrat to attempt.

THE GEESE AND THE DONKEY.

A snow white gander and his gray
goose wife were proudly strutting one
fine day at the head of their large fami-
ly, all busily engaged in plucking grass
on the common.
Presently donkey who was in search
of the thistleS amongst which grew the
furze, happened to come across the noisy
tribe.
Just look at that foolish donkeyr'
said the old mother goose to her brood.
HE is eating those nasty prickly this
ties, when he might eat this tender,
juicy, delicious young grass"
Every one to his taste, ma'am," said
the donkey to her, quietly going on with
his dinner.
"How dare you contradict my wifer'
hissed the angry gander.
81 didn't contradict her," retorted the
donkey. "What did she jeer at me then
for?"
Upon this the enraged gander hissed
and hissed terribly.
"What fuss about nothingr" said the
donkey. And then he set up a tremen-
dous braying.
"Oh dear! oh dear! oh dear! What a
horrible noise!' screamed the geese
And they all of them waddled away,
frightened out of their wits.
The geese, you see, preferred the grass
to the thistles; the donkey, the thistleS
to grass. The donkey thought the cackle
of the geese ridiculous, and the geese
thought the bray of the donkey horrible.
How very careful then all of us should
be not to be harsh on the peculiarities
of others, remembering that we have so
many of our own.
