| Yes, the Lick telescope must be a most
powerful instrument. But the man is
badly mistaken when he imagines that by
summoning it TO his assistance he will be
able TO see the difference between Cleve-
land mills tariff reform and free trade

! Sheridan was brilliant and great, but
merciless soldier. The two first qualities
he displayed in battle and in organization
the latter history will charge him with be-
ing when it recites his career in Louisiana
and his ruthless devastation of the rich and
beautiful valley of the ShenandOah.-N. o.
| States.
President Harrison may or may not give
Mr.. Mills a Federal office next year to con-
sole him for his defeat for Congress in the
coming election. If Benjamin fails to do
this, however, it will be because gratitude is
not among his moral assets. Mr.. Mills has
| furnished some very powerful arguments
| for the retirement of the Democratic party

Protection raises wages as surely as a
| rich soil raises corn. France and Germany
have found this out, and what have they
done? Why, each of these countries have
| created protective tariffs, and the wages of
French and German workingmen are
climbing, notch by notch, while the pit
tances of England's pauperized toilers are
shrinking under the curse of free trade

Let no one fear lest General Harrison, if
elected, will not be the real President of
the United States. The President of this
nation has power greater than that exer-
cised by any monarch on earth, and the
blood of martyr patriot and President that
runs in the Harrison veins has not been so
thinned in the present generation that in
dependence has been taken out of it

A visit TO Castle Garden after the ar
rival of an emigrant steamer will convince
most people that the majority of foreigners
reaching us belong to the lowest, least in
telligent, often the most degraded classes.
They pollute our country, and their influx
should be stopped, or serious troubles, of
which the Anarchist murders in Chicago
were but faint indication, will surely fol-
low.-Eagineerin and Mining Journal.
Governor Hills denomination will be
triumph for the liquor influence. But
though the liquor influence control the
machinery of the Democratic party in this
State, the men who pay the taxes and rent
are more numerous than the men who sell
liquor. The taxpayers will compel the
saloonkeepers to pay reasonable taxes.
They will remove from power the man
who has twice interposed veto to prevent
that piece of justice being enacted into
law.-Albany Express.
Not the least of Sheridan's laurels was
won right here in Chattanooga, when he
led his division up the steep slope of Mis-
sion Ridge, near where in these halcyon
days of peace, the suburb of Ridgedale has
grown up. From here, after the siege was
lifted, he went East and assumed command
of the cavalry of the Army of the Potomac
The peaceful heart of the world has in it
tender spot for hero-it loves brave and
manly man, and hence is deeply touched
by the untimely taking off of the lineal
successor OF Washington and Grant

The benefits of penny savings institutions
are vastly more far-reaching than would be
supposed at first blush. They not only save
| the money of the poor for rainy days. but
| they inspire children and young men and
| women with correct ideas of economy.
| The little boy or little girl will take special
pride in his or her savings bank book. 1t
| teaches them method in saving it digni-
fies them as bank depositors; it causes
| them to consider and calculate the advant-
ages of savings, and it must of necessity
| inspire them with nobler conceptions of
| the great battle of life. The boy or girl
who learns self-dependence in childhood
will seldom be dependent in manhood or
womanhood PHILADELPHIA Times
