Not q Campaign of Argument.

1t does not look as if this campaign were
going to be one of argument, so far as the
republicans are concerned. Their pretended
arguments are chiefly sophistry, and much
Of what their party organs print is I'M
worthy of decent journalism. For instance,
it was stated the other day that General
Master Workman Powderly. of the Knights
of Labor, had determined to follow ex-
Secretary Litchman's example, and resign
his position to take the stump for Harrison
and Morton, because President Cleveland
had appointed Mr.. Carroll d. Wright to
position for which he Powderly) was an
applicant. A little inquiry developed the
fact that Mr.. Wright had been appointed
by President Arthur because he was a
republican; that Mr.. Powderly, who had
been recommended by his friends for the
position, was not appointed because he was
democrat, and that he has no idea of
resigning from the knights.
The New YORK Tribune stated few days
ago that in his letter to the committee in
charge of the recent grangers' picnic at
Williams Grove, Pa, Mr.. Cleveland de-
clined to be present, assigning pressing pub
lie business as the reason, and that he forth
with set out on fishing jaunt in Virginia
The published letter of Mr. Cleveland to the
committee stated candidly that he could not
be present because he had previously ar
ranged for brief season of recreation, cov-
ering the dates of the picnic, and that he
was confident he would not be considered
discourteous if he awaited himself of the op-
portunity of much needed rest, which
would enable him to perform his public
duties better.
The Philadelphia Press stated a day or
two ago that simultaneously with the
transmission of the Presidents recent re-
taliation message to congress private COM
munication was transmitted by the govern
ment of the United States to the British
government at London, assuring it that it
need have no anxiety os to any official
action that would be taken under the
authority that the President had asked of
congress if it should be granted" If the
truth were known, it would no doubt be
seen that this is deliberate falsehood, in
tended to Offset the effect of the fisheries
message and to injure the Democratic
party's chances of success.
While this sort of politics may deceive a
few ignorant people, it will disgust and
repel great many who are well-informed,
and who therefore, understand the motive
prompting such statements. 1t has not
been very long time since the republicans
boosted that they would sweep the country
on the issue thrust upon them by Mr. Cleve-
lands tariff message. What has become of
their much-vaunted confidencei Has it
petered out, or did it never have an ex-
istence. Have tho republicans found out
that tariff reform is popular with the peo-
plel Very likely that is the explanation of
their efforts to draw public attention from
the tariff issue.

How 1t Would Work.

Congressman Butterworth, of Ohio, and
Congressman Breckinridge, of Kentucky,
addressed large audience in Newark, N.
j., on the subject of the tariff a day OF two
ago. The former is republican protec-
zionist, and the latter tariff reform demo
crat. Both are men OF splendid ability, and
are as good stump speakers as there are in
the country. The audience was largely
made up of workingmen from Newark s
factories and workshops and before the
meeting was over it was quite apparent
that Mr. Breckenridge had convinced a
large majority OF it that tariff reform is
what the poor people of this country need.
One of the points he made is worthy Of
special mention. He said that before
leather was put on the free list great many
foreign made shoes were worn i'll this coun-
try. American money was sent abroad to
help support those who manufactured them,
and American workmen were deprived of
work they ought to have had. When the
duty on leather was removed, however, no
more foreign made shoes came to this
market. All that were needed here were
manufactured here, and besides a great
many were manufactured for foreign
markets. American shoemakers had all
the work they could do the year round, and
they received very good wages.
Mr.. Breckenridge said that he was
satisfied that no one of the immense
audience he was addressing was wearing a
foreign made shoe, but he had no doubt
that there were hundreds, and perhaps
thousands, within the hearing of his voice
who were dressed in clothes made from
cloth manufactured in England.
He called attention to the fact that this
country imported S45, 100000 worth of
wooden goods every year, aud he insisted
that American workingmen ought to have
chance to manufacture all the wooden
goods needed in this country. He declared
they would do SO if they could have wool
placed on the free list. With free wool every
wooden mill would be in &c i've operation
from one years end to another, but under
the present high tariff system many Ameri-
can mills are idle great part OF the time,
and their operatives are not much more
than able to make living
Congressman Butterworth was not able
to answer satisfactorily the point raised by
Congressman Breckenridge, and now
probably, he is wondering why he per-
mitted himself to be drawn into discussion
with him

Two hours later dashing young officer of the
Imperial guard reined up his horse beside Prince
G--s carriage as IL passed him, and said, in q
voice trcmulous with laughter: 'Oh, Iakov
was Il splendid idea of yours TN be all over
the town tomorrow, I'm sire. ! haven't had
such laugh since l don't know when" And
off he went, laughing unrestrainedly.
d looked after him in blank bewilder-
ment; but he was still more perpexed about
half an hour later, when stout, bald, red-faced
man, in the rich uniform of a government
official, came and said, sternly:
"YAkov Audrcevitch, | don't know what l
have done that you should insult me in this I'M
warrartaole way. You shall hear from me

rage.

prince. What on earth can have done?'
But the explanation came only too soon Just
as he reached his own door again, up came the
tootman whom he had Mt round with his visit
ing cards, and said, with respectful bow I've
left all the cards, your brightness. except the
ace of spades and the queen OF diamonds"
Then the poor prince understood IL all. This

A Conf essiOn.
From the Century for Septem

From the Century for September.
Do you remember, little wife,
How-years ago we two together
Saw naught but love illumine life
In sunny days or winter weather?
Do you recall in younger years
To part day was bitter pain?
Loves light was bid in clouds of tears
Till meeting cleared the sky again.
Do you remember how we two
Would stare into each others eyes,
TIL all the earth grew heavenly blue
And speech was lost IN happy signs!
Do You another thing recall,
That used to happen often then?
How, simply passing in the hall,
We'd stop to smile and kiss again?
Do you remember how sat
And, reading. held your hand in mine,
Caressing it with gentle pat
One pat for every blessed liner
Do you recall how at the play
Through hours of agony we tarried,
The lovers griefs brought us dismay;
Oh, we rejoiced when they were married
And then walked homeward arm in arm,
Beneath the crescent moonlet new.
That smiled on us with silent charm;
So glad that we were married too.
All me, twas years and years ago
When all this happened that sing,
And many time the winter snow
Has slipped from olive hopes OF spring.
And now-oh, nonsense! let us tell;
A fig for laugh of maids or men
You'll hide your bushes? I'll not. Well
We're ten times worse than we were then.

A ouee- Condition of Affairs.

The most remarkable thing connected
with the presidential campaign is the way
IN which the republican candidate for Presl-
| dent is being permitted TO drop almost out
| of sight by the republican campaign
| managers. Very little is heard about
| Gen. Harrison. The republican news
papers are not giving much attention
10 him and the republican stump
orators seldom refer to him. A stranger
visiting this country for the first time, and
being totally unacqua!nted with the political
situation, would get the impression from
what he read in the public prints and what
he heard, that Mr. Blaine was the repuh-
lcan candidate He certainly would not
hear or read anything that would lead him
TO think that Gen Harrison occupied that
position.
The cartoons in the pictorial papers denl
with Mr.. Blaine. The republican newspa-
pers are engaged in defending him, and the
democratic newspapers devote a great deal
more attention to him than to Con. Harri-
son. The rea9on is plain. Mr.. Blaine is
the real leader of the Republican party.
He is the kind of a man that meets that
party's idea of a statesman. His defects
are regarded as virtues, and his mistakes
are approved as if they were acts of wis
dom.
When he returned from Europe he was
given reception that caused him to think
that he could lend the party in any direc-
ton he pleased, and he was not wrong. He
has talked as if his party had no platform,
and his party has not protested. On the
contrary, it has applauded him, and re-
scented every effort to call him to account.
This curious condition of affairs cannot
be very gratifying to Gen. Harrison, VINO,
though he may not be great man, is a
very proud and sensitive one. But what
can he dos He canrot complain, because
that would be an indication of weakness
and would only excite contempt. He can
not protest. because no attention would be
paid to him. The only thing he can do is
to remain quietly in his home and wait for
inevitable defeat, while Mr.. Blaine receives
the attention which rightly belongs to the
head of the ticket.

A Picture of Bliss.

OF country girl who is visiting New York for

1t is difficult to understand why the re.
publicans should crow SO Justify over the
vote in Vermont. The republican majority
there is % 600, and glance at the figures
of previous elections shows that as great q
majority has been obtained several times in
presidential years. So, then, the republi-
cans have onysmaintained their lead, with
out drawing on the democrats. Vermont
has probably the largest wool growing in
terest, in proportion to population, of any
OF the New England states, and in their ire
