A National pernocratic League.

The formation of National Democratic
League Will be an important event in the
approaching Presidential campaign. The
meeting of a number of Young Mems
Democratic Clubs in New York, some days
ago, having that end in view, was most
harmonious one: and it was decided, as has
been stated, to call a convention of all clubs
in sympathy with the movement for Balti-
more on July T. No doubt by that time
clubs will be formed throughout the coun-
try, and the representation at Baltimore
will be very large.
There were several notable features Of
the conference in New York, one of which
was the unanimity with which the dele
gates favored Mr. Cleveland's re-nomina-
ton, though there was no disposition to
forestall the action of the st. Louis conven-
ton. Another was the sentiment in favor
of tariff reform, showing that the young
men of the country are in accord with the
party on this leading issue. There was no
lodging. A plain, straightforward resolu-
tion was passed as follows: 1--WE indorse
the measure recommended by the President
of the United States in his message to Con-
gress at the opening of the present session,
and we favor speedy and effective legisla-
tive action to carry the same into practical
effect
While the chief object of the league is to
look after the young voters, the general
effect will be beneficial to tho party, the
members Of which will be inspired to &C
ton. Especially is this true of the doubtful
States. Good, well-directed work in the
Northwest may be the means of securing
several States for the Democratic ticket.
and this sort of work is impossible without
organization. The league can cooperate
with the different State and county execu-
tive committees, and in this way thorough
organization be secured. Several citizens
of the Northwest have already
expressed the opinion that with clubs COM
posed of energetic, working young men,
the chances of carrying their States will be
greatly increased.
The young men mean business BY the
time the Democratic ticket is nominated
they will be thoroughly aroused, and they
will be heard from in no uncertain way in
the campaign. The movement should be
encouraged, and the work of forming clubs
should at once proceed. There is no time
to be lost. The Republicans have already
formed a league.

James f. Falk, farmer of Lawrence
county, Pennsylvania, gave up the attempt
to kill himself after finding that two balls
through his head did not do the work. On
Nov. z last he placed the muzzle of rife
under his chin and fired, the ball coming
out under his left eye This did not kill
him, and he deliberately reloaded the gun,
placed the muzzle at the same spot and fired
again. The bullet passed through and came
out at the top of his head, but instead of
falling down and biting the dust, the would
be suicide walked into the house and coolly
told his wife what he had done She at
once sent for a physician, who pronounced
the wounds fatal, but Mr. Falk lived in
excellent health until the other day, when
he died from the effects of a cold in one of
the wounds. The physician who attended
him at the time he shot himself died several
months ago. These Pennsylvania farmers

Bevond Endurance.

In speaking Of Senator VOORHEES,, in his
passage with Senator ingalls, the other day,
the Boston Advertiser, which is published
at the supposed center Of learning and Gull
ture, says: "Mr. Voorhees, has put
an objectionable atfront upon
his associates. He has shown
himself TO be a vulgar bully, and as a
notice that such conduct is not tolerated
the Senate should act. Such conduct as
that which we have noted would not be
tolerated in the all night sessions at our
city hall.n
1t will be observed that the Advertiser
seeks to bring down two birds at one shot.
1t raps Senator VOORHEES, over the knuckles,
and gets in a left-handed blow at its
city administration-an administration
which, by the way, however worthy, might
possibly have been defeated last fall if the
Republicans. led by the advertiser, had
possessed enough skill to take advantage of
circumstances.
But that is neither here nor there. The
Advertiser is not the first newspaper to hurl
epithets at Senator VOORHEES, on account of
his affair with Senator Ingalls, Nearly all
the Republican journals have emptied upon
him the vials of their malice, and it may be
mentioned that while in mock solemnity
they deplore his departure from the ameni-
ties of debate, they pay no attention what
ever to the amenities of journalistic criti-
csm.
1t goes without saying that Senator Voor-
hees would have gained crcditable victory
over himself if he had controlled his temper,
but he did not, and nobody can blame him
very greatly when the unusual provocation
is considered. Senator Ingalls,, with his
sharp tongue and his brazen effronterv,
was hurting invectives at the Indiana Sena-
tor, and charging him with acts of which the
latter declared he was not guilty, and in sup
port of which no proof was adduced. Sena-
tor Voorhees, denied them in calm, dignified
manner; they were repeated, and again de-
MED and in the face of two specific and
dignified denials, ingalls, threw aside all sense
of decency, all Senatorial courtesy, and again
repeated what he must have known were
old campaign ISLANDERS. Voorhees, lost con-
troll of himself and used language that was
not exactly Bostonian. There are very few
people who would have held their
tongues under the circumstances. 1t does
very well to deplore such an exhi-
bition of temper and bad manners, but
most men would have acted about as Sena-
tor Voorhees, did. No doubt the Senator
regrets his conduct, and he will prob
ably make an ample apology to the Senate
What he said of Senator Ingalls, may have
been true, but it was not parliamentary and
did not increase the respect of the country
for him.

Mr.. Cleveland and His Cabinet.
I'M the Boston journal.


WASHINGTON, May 1,-Mr. Cleveland has a
peculiar way sf coming to decisions in the most
important cases. II has often been said that
his Cabinet frequently know no more about the
thing that will he done than those who do not
belong TO it, This has been illustrated in
striking way IN the matter of the nomination of
Mr.. Fuller member of the Cabinet, on the
afternoon of the day on which Mr.. Fuller was
nominated, was making social call, and In the
course of the conversation remarked TO the
lady whose reception he was attending that
there would be a Cabinet meeting on the next
day or soon afterward, at which he presumed
the question as to who would be the Chief
Justice would be settled. The lady, with some
surprise, said: Mr.. Secretary, why, how is
thatf | thought that matter had been settled.
The Secretary answered: mot to my know.
ledge. There certainly has no decision been
reached at any Cabinet meeting which | have
attended, and have attended them all"
Whereupon the society lady, who was quicker
in getting her news than this Secretary was
answered: you probably are not aware that
the nomination of Mr. Melville Fuller to be
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Of the
United States was this morning sent to the
Senator"
The Secretary admitted that he did not know
that fact, and he was evidently very greatly
surprised TO learn il in that striking way.

AS the time approaches for making Con-
gresSional nominations, several members
of this Congress take occasion to say that
they don't want to be returned. Within
the last few weeks the following members
have announced that they would not accept
a denomination. Messrs. White of New
York, Gallinger of New Hampshire, Neal
and Butler of Tennessee, and Morse, Col
Inns, Whitney, Russell and Hayden of Mas
sachusetts. Congressman William Bourke
Cochran, of New York, has not said he
prefers the shades of private life, but it is
understood that he doesn't care straw
whether he is returned or not.
1t will be observed that Massachusetts
furnishes the greatest proportion Of volun-
tarily retiring members. She has twelve
congressman, and five of them want to re-
main at home. One of the Massachusetts,
members who proposes to retire was nomi-
mated and elected against his wishes. He
said in 1886 that he didn't want and
wouldn't have the office, and the curious
part of the matter is that he thought he
was in earnest. The spectacle of a man
hiding from Congressional lightning is a

is the mysterious influence pervading
Massachusetts atmosphere that causes
nearly one-half of her delegation to seek to
put their honors upon other shouldersl And
what's the matter with Tennessee, that two
of her members should voluntarily re-
linquish the work Of making laws and
drawing payl The motive of Mr.. Gallinger,
of New Hampshire, is more apparent. He
wants 70 go up higher. In other words, he
is after Mr.. Candler's seat in the Senate.
When the list Of those who wish to re-
tire, however, is completed, it will be very
small in proportion to the number compos-
ing the House. There are 325 members of
that body, and it is safe to say that 800 of
them will seek a denomination, but quite a
number will retire against their will. OF
the members of the Forty-ninth Congress,
1876 were returned to the Fiftieth
There is no desire among the Georgia
members to return to private life The en-
tire delegation will probably ask re-nomi-

A Specimen Republican Method.

The small fry Republican politicians who
are trying to make party capital out of the
fact that President Cleveland's marriage
certificate was handsomely bound at the
government printing Office, without expense
to him, will fail. 1t is true the certificate
was bound. 1t is also true that the binding
of it cost Mr.. Cleveland nothing. The work
was done without his knowledge, and the
expense was borne jointly by Assistant
Private Secretary Pruden and the Public
Printer, who intended it as a compliment to
the President That is all there is in it.
The investigation of the government
printing office, however, is becoming quite
interesting, and the facts brought out put
the Republicans on the defensive. c. A.
Welsh, assistant foreman, was one of the
witnesses this other day. He testified that
up to the time Public Printer Rounds went
out of Office there was great deal of private
work done in his division, for which the
government received no pay. This sort of
work was so heavy that he could not keep
up with it, For sixty days, however, he
kept memorandum of it, and during that
time 600 books were elegantly bound on
private orders. This practice was kept UP
during the whole of Rounds administration,
and it kept three skilled workmen busy, at
a cost to the government of about s., 800 a
year. The material used amounted in value
TO about the same sum. The testimony Of
Welsh was fully corroborated by other
witnesses showing that in one division of
the Office the government was put to a
yearly expense Of about 81 900 for private
and unauthorized work.
1t is creditable TO Mr.. Cleveland that as
soon as he learned that this practice was
being continued he put stop to it. The
Republicans will never make anything out
of the Presidents record on this line He
is opposed to all such practices. He does
not himself sponge upon the government,
and he doesn't propose that any one else
shall The time for such things has passed.
The government was mercilessly bled under
Republican rule, but when Mr.. Cleveland
went into office a new order of things was
inaugurated. This is an honest administra-
ton

The New York Herald advises those
Northern people who are planning a pro-
tracted summer trip to think twice before
they carry out their plans. 1t says they
might do well to reserve portion of the
time allowed for recuperaton till the spring
blasts of 1889 set in. The blizzard of a
month or two ago gave the New Workers a
very unpleasant experience, and one that
they would not like to have repeated. Per-
haps many of them will take the HeroEGs
advice and spend portion of next spring
in the South.

The Two A ges.
From IYomon for Non.

From Woman for Nay.
Ho! for the days of sword and lance,
OF chivalry and bold romance,
When lovers had some sort of chance
To win a mistress fair;
When rivals all were free to fight
Their quarrels out by candle light,
Or in the tourney, every knight
His old accounts could square.
Sir Percy saw his lady smile
Perchance upon Sir Olive lie,
Which straightway raised that mobiles bile:
Then tooth and nail would ride
These gallant knights, and deftly break
A lance, or head, for her sweet sake;
And he who won had leave to take
The lady for his bride.
Now have rivals, six or eight,
Whose noses could dislocate
With much delight, beg to state,
If laws were only lax;
Yet may only scowl or frown
Whence we meet about the town,
Or at the most, to run them down
10 friends behind their back
Alas, in these prosaic days
A lover treads no primrose ways;
He dare not even sing loves lays
Beneath her walls at night,
For fear that an alert police
Should run him in for breaking peac.
Or alien bootjacks make him cease.
Hurled by hand of might.
Once wooing was O noble art;
II needed but a valiant heart
To safely speed the flying dart
In those brave days of old.
There was no coin to win loves gage
Without some higher heritage.
Well may we miss the Golden Age
In this, the Age of Gold
