The Mesby Of the Campaign.

New York HERALD
q The fact that Colonel Watterson
should be at the headquarters and
busy is natural, for the Colonel is a
busy man. Butthe "taking command
is no doubt premature" The Colo
nel's rank is only that of colonel, and
there are too many field marshals
waiting orders for colonel to be al
lowed in the saddle. We remember
what Mosby did in the Rebellion with
his colonels position and command,
and that he was worth any dozen OF
the old fashioned generals. Probably
Colonel Watterson means TO do his
party the same service. As the Mosby
of the Democracy of Kentucky hero
would be of more value than thous,
and OF the field marshals who are doz,
ing around the Democratic headQuar
ters, dreaming of the hour when
Clevelsnds luck will lead them Il
victory.

The Faithful Engineer.

THE Railway Employe.
Life is like crooked railroad,
And the engineer is brave.
Who can made trip successful,
From the cradle to the grave2
There are stations oil along It,
Where at almost any breath,
You'll be "hagged" to stop your engine,
By the passenger Of death.
You may run the grade Of trouble
Many days and years with ease,
But time may haveyou "side-traeked,"
By tbs switchmRn OF disease.
You may cross the bridge Of manhood.
Run the tunnel long of strife.
Having God for your conductor,
On the lightning train" Of life.
Always mindful of.instructions,
Watchful duty never lack,
Keep your hand upon the throttle,
And your eye upon the track.
Name your engine "True Religion"
When you're running, day or night.
Use the coal of Faith" for fuel.
And she'll always run you right.
You need never fear Of sticking"
On the up-grades long the road,
II you've got "HOpe" for fireman,
You can always pull the loads.
You will often find distractions,
By the cunning devil lain
On fill, curve, or some place
Where he'll try TO ditch your train"
But you needn't fear disaster
Jerk her open"-''Let her gO!"--
For the King who ruleth all things
All his plans will overthrow.
Put your trust In God. the Savior,
Keep going--dont look back
Keep your hand upon the throttle
And yoar eye upon the track.
When you've made the trip successful.
And you're at your journeys end.
You will find the angles waiting
To receive You as friend.
You'll approach the superintendent.
Whois waiting for you now.
With blessed smile Of welcome,
And crown TO deck your brow,
Never falter In your duty,
Put your faith and hope in Him,
And you'll always find your engine
In the best of running trim.
Ring your bell and blow your whistle,
Never let your courage slack,
Keep your hand upon the throttle
And your eye upon the track.

The Chicago Tribune thus pointedly
responds to Mr. Blaines bold defense
OF monopoly trusts is his recent Port.
land speech:
II Mr.. Blaine is correct in his assel.
tion that they are private affairs" with
which the government has no right to
interfere, then most certainly the gov
ernment has no right to bolster them
up and befriend them and should step
down and out from its partnership
with them by Withdrawing its tariff
protection. Sc long as excessive du-
ties are maintained these trade rings
will be enabled to bleed the public.
Reduce these duties to a decent, rea-
sonable figure and they will be smash.
ed. Mr., Blaine will not help the pros
poets of the party by appearing rs the
advocate of trusts which the party
platform has specifically aud nnmis-
takably condemned. He can say
much that is interesting and profitable
as to tariff and wages questions, but
he should be warned in time rot 10

Skepticism.

By reason of the state OF chronic in
credulity in which many men pass
their lives they miss half the good of
this world. They seem to think that
doubt and unbelief are proofs of wis
dom, and through fear of being deceiv-
ed reject much that is true and good.
To such minds the statement that DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is a
real and proven cure for all diseases
caused by torpid liver, bad blood or
scrofuleus humors carries with it its
own condemnation. They do not be-
lieve it, apparently, because we say
so; and yet what more, or less, than
this can we do? We know the facts
and if we did not make public the
great value Of this remedy few would
profit by it. We try to Go our duty in
the matter and it remains for the
doubter who needs help to overcome
his prejudice and give it trial.

Thus it will be seen that in 1880 the
United States government generously
donated to the Bessemer ring-the
Pennsylvania Steel Company and its
co-manipulators-$l14,OOO,OO 1000 of clear
profits.
Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Quay must
surely put this into the coming cate
chism. Also the following:
The highest wages which the 14O,-
949 laborers, skilled and unskilled, for
their work in the iron mills during
this year was $1.15 per day on an av-
erage, worked out by such clear headed
men as Mr.. Abram s. Hewitt, now
Mayor of New York, and Mr.. Swank,
of the Iron and Steel Association.
Note this is the average for those
earning the higher pay. The ordi-
nary unskilled laborer, the rank and
file, received no more than 80 TO So

minority believe that it has eyer been
and still is the strong desire of a
great majority OF the people
of ell Dakota thas the territory
should be divided upon an east and
west line. The people have laid the
whole foundation OF their political sys-
tenn with this in view and the minority
asks, in all enndor and sincerity, what
objection is there or can there be to
granting it? Think of one Legislature
governing New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio and West Virginia as one state;
yet Dakota exceeds nll of them. 10 10
said that Texas is q larger state than
Dakota would be if admitted as a whole.
As . matter OF fact, Texas furnishes no
precedent whatever for Dakota. a pro-
vision was made when Texas was nd-
mitted into the union for its division
into five states wheneveroth the people de.
sired it, but they have never desired it.
The whole OF Dakota is included in one
territory at this time simply because its
area was 30 defined more than o quarter
of a century ago, before it's civilized IN
habitants numbered 5000. Had it been
divided into two territories, no n
would advocate for an instant the idea OF
forcing both sections OF the territory
into the union as n state.
Is there any serious intention
of uniting Idaho with Montana
or Washington or Wyoming with Utah
and forcing the two into the union as
n state? The proposition to force the
people OF Dakota into one state against
their expressed will or to deny them
their rights is simply the exercise OF
arbitrary power and can almost be
compared with sheer brute force. II is
repugnant to tho spirit, as well as the
latter Of orr Law and gsn!.Enm.n..@ W .
are told, in the majority rerars Of this
committee during the fc~,r-ninth con-
gress, that each and every portion of
the balance Of the United states hns as
much right to say what boundaries and
area the new states shall have. II is q
pertinent inquiry as to what methods
the gentlemen propose to take for
asoertaining the wishes of the country
upon this subject. One thing ia quite
manifest-the wishes of the people Of
the proposed state are to be disreRarded
il possible. What would Jefferson say
to thisP What would Douglas
say? What does the ordinance of
1887 gayf What does the Louisiana
treaty sayf What did Michigan say
when congress undertook TO mark her
boundariesf And what did lowe end
California do regarding the boundaries
of their respective statesf Iows voted
to stay out OF the union rather than
adopt the boundaries marked out for
her by congress. and congress conceded
what she wished. All she w have
been one way, and that is, the will of
the people of the territory and proposed
state expressed within the principle OF
policy of the government, the senstitu-
tion and treaties, is supreme. To thwart
it is usurpstion: to insist upon it 10
tyranny. To adopt this principle would
be the end OF oar state government.
