The Republicans of the Fifth Congress
slonal district Of Massachusetts have made
General N. p. Banks their candidate. 1t
was not done without opposition, General
Banks receiving but one more vote than the
forty necessary for a choice. The reports of
the convention are silent as to the age and
appearance of those forty-two delegates,
but the imagination does not probably err
much when it pictures them as venerable,
gray-bearded men whose Republicanism
dates back to the decadence of the Wing
party of New England. General Banks is
70 years old, and there are many politicians
of to-day who were in their cradles when he
began his political career. He was first
elected to Congress in 1858, and from that
tine to this he has been almost constantly
in public service, as a Congressman, Govern
or of Massachusetts, General in the field, a
Congressman again, and as a United States
Marshal of Massachusetts. But SO far as con-
temporary judgment can determine he has
made lasting fame for his name neither so
much by the length Of his public service nor
his persistence in returning to public life at
a time when other men are seeking
retirement, as by one memorable contest in
which he figured at the very outset Of his
career. Banks had been elected to Congress
In 1858 by coalition of Free-soilers and
Democrats. During his first term he with
drew from the Democrats and became a
Know-nothing, and was by the latter party
returned to the Thirty fourth Congress bv a
large majority. That Congress assembled in
December, 1856. On the 18th of Nav in the
previous year, the old Missouri Compromises
that had kept the peace of the Union for
more than thirty years, had been repealed by
the influence of the slave power; that slave
power had at once begun its march on the
fertile plains of Kansas; and amid the
frenzy Of excitement that spread over the
North the Republican party was forming.
1t was time Of great excitement and in
tense feeling, and the battle ground was
made in the House of Representatives when
the speaker was chosen. Nathaniel P.
Banks of Massachusetts represented the
side of freedom; William Aiken, Of South
Carolina the side of slavery. The contest
lasted more than two months and Banks was
elected on the 1881 ballot by small plurality.
The significance Of this contest is set forth

Mr.. Stevenson, the First Assistant Post
master General who with Chairman Brown
gave object lessons in civil service reform in
Maine in the first days of the present admin
istration, has been stumping in Illinois. The
spectacle Of federal Office holder display
ing Offensive partisanship" has long ceased
to attract attention. But Mr.. Stevenson's
utterances deserve some consideration. A
high official, standing very near the Presi-
dent, whatever he says on a public question,
especially on the tariff, ought to be ortho-
dox. I'VE propose" said he at Shelbyville,
ILL.,, on the 18th inst, shat internal revenue
taxes remain as now, and that tariff taxes be
reduced an average rate of 7per cent. and
you are told that this is free trade. In other
words, cheapening to the people the necessa-
ries of life by saving $10,0OO,0OO a month to
the pockets of the taxpayer, and thus check
ing the unnecessary accumulation in the
treasury, is by the protectionists de-
nounced as free trade. Need | argue to you
that 1t is a curse rather than blessing to be
unnecessarily taxed? Who receives the
benefit of high tariff? Does the laborer?
Not at all. 1t increases to him the cost OF
food and shelter and clothing. Does the
manufacturer increase your wages when the
tariff is increased No such case can be
found. He is the sole beneficiary of the
high tariff. Millionaires are now numbered
by the thousands when a few years ago you
could count them on the fingers Of your
hand" There is nothing original about
what Mr.. Stevenson says here. All the
Democratic orators have been makirg the
same contradictory statements; but few if
any of them have ventured to state these
contradictory propositions in one breath, as
he does. I'VE are not free traders, we in
tend to reduce the tariff only from AZ to 40
per cent" he says in one sentence, and at
the next moment declares that high tariff,
and a 40 per cent. tariff is certainly high
TARIFFS a baneful thing increasing the pow
erty of the poor and the riches of the rich.
If this tariff was SO bad why did not the Mills
bill put it down more than pitiful seven
per cent? The truth is the Mills bill does
lower the tariff full hundred per cent. on
some of the great products of the North, like
wool; but the average duty is kept up for
appearances by high rates on articles of
small Importance and on Southern staples
like rice In which Georgia lis interested, and
sugar, in which are concerned Louisiana
and the millionaires Of the Sugar Trust.
The claim that the Mills bill will reduce the
surplus ten millions a month is mere asser-
tion made for campaign effect, The increase
Of importations under it would be so grea
that no prophesy Of the sort attempted by
Mr.. Stevenson can be made. Some better
Judges than he think the effect of the bill
would actually be to increase the surplus.

The lumber Of voters coming of age, in
excess Of the number removed by death, is
about per cent. every four years-that is,
about 100000 in this country. The number
naturalized will undoubtedly swell this num-
Der far above the million mark. Many of
these new voters will vote as their fathers or
other relatives vote, some, though it is to be
hoped few, as the interest of the moment
may dictate, while many more will begin to
prepare for the important duty with minds
open to conviction. This makes the instruc
tion of these new voters one of the most i'm
portant duties of campaign. And, for ali
the noise, enthusiasm and more or less in
evitable craziness, an American political
campaign is great school in which is done
vast amount of good and enduring work
for the Republic.

Professor VIM. G. Sumner asks: sIf all

The Associated Press is an agency for

themselves with large quantity at the min

We have been aware for some time that
the Democrats won victory in Maine; we
are now informed by the Portland Herald
that the Prohibitionists also won victory,
and it really seems that they have. The
Herald conveys this information very deli
cately, out of chivalrous respect for the gal
liant and conquered foe, we presume; but
does it firmly, nevertheless:
At the last moment we receive "Notes from
Headquarters" from Chairman Woodbury., in
which he analyses the Clark vote Of 1856, and
shows that at least 1400 of the number were cast
by labor men who never counted themselves
members Of the Prohibition party, thus leaving
only 1850 Prohibitionists at that time.
The election returns prove the wisdom OF our
State convention in nominating Hon. Volney b.
Gushing for Governor. Mr.. Cushing ran ahead of
his ticket In almost every town.
As Gushing received 3,15l this yelr, or 4Oi
votes more than Clark ought to have got in
1886, 1t is very evident that the Republican
party was badly thrashed by the Prohibi-
tionists, and that the Maine returns are full
of food for uncomfortable reflection for Har-
rison and Morton. This victory has not yet
been officially proclaimed in Boston by
Mr.. Cushing.

all gone, the issue involved went down in a

stood up to the South in the Congress of '55.

INCAUTIOUS DRIVING.

"Good morning, my darling" But there
was another letter at Philip Breton's break
fast plate, and the Old look of dread came
back to his face--the dark hollows under his
eyes showed again. He had forgotten for n
moment, but he ought never to forget. How
could he tell what moment he would be called
upon to strain every nerve to save his dar-
ling. He tore open the letter in uncontroll-
able terror; oh, it was only from Philbrick.
Had Bertha noticed his excitement and would
she question him in wifely concern: Ec had
so much to guard against. But no, her grace
full arm was raised to pour his coffee, inclin
ing her head prettily on one side, as women
do always at tea and coffee pouring. She did
not watch his face "a he did hers. She had
not even noticed the change that had come
over him of late, that shocked every casual
acquaintance on the street But that made
it so much the easier for him to keep the
secret from her; he told himself he o1ght to
be thankful for it, instead of ever permitting
his foolish heart to ache. He ran his eyes
rapidly over the letter his white haired
friend had sent him.
81 suppose it is paper thrown away, but
want to remind you once more of my offer
to take your mill of your hands. | have
made up my mind to try my scheme some
where. am OLD ana 1eel as II Woulu llke
to do something for my race with my money,
which | have now well III hand. VIII you
let me have your mills for what l have got?
If not l shall try elsewhere. The reason l
want your mills is because l propose to give
you chance to take part in my beautiful in
dustral plan. l will pay you one-third its
valuation, one-third you shall keep at per
cent interest till we can buy that in Also the
other third am going to let you give iii trust
for the benefit of the help as my discretion
shall dictate This is q glorious opportunity,
but l suppose Iam wild to expect you to take
it, EXCEPT that | have read in the newspapers
of growing discomfort among your help.
Various reasons are given for it; my eNplana-
ton is that a little leaven lsaveneth the
whole lump If you were working to stop
complaints you should not have begun your
reforms. You may happen to see things as l
do, and be willing to let me try where you
have failed If so, telegraph me at once
and will core.n
Philip folded the letter thoughtfully and
put it back il its envelope. No, he was not
ready for that yet But he dad not smile.
If it should ever happen that he be called
upon to sacrifice everything to save his wife
but FhiIbrick required that he accept at
once. TO, he was not ready yet.
'Oh" said his wife, as If u sudden thought
had struck her, do you remember your
promise, you are to take ME throuS the mills
today!"

''Will you step III here as soon as posi-
ble?' said the paymaster, she handed him
the bonds. "There is very important

At the foot of the stairs Bales and Gid
din~s passed each other.
Good morning Bales" began Philip,
without turning his face to his discharged
servant, Il suppose was little harsh in
sending yoI away Gs did. "lIo spoke hur-
riedly, as if it were painful task he were
performing. Let this make it up to yOu,'
and the mill owner threw roll of bills on
the table much ns man would throw bone
f. a dog, though he would have been hearty
if he could have forced his tongue to do the
false service. The man took up the money
with the cir of the trained waiter taking up
his fee. He asked no questions, he uttered no
thanks He understood. Philip was filled
with shame, and the fellows silence made it
very hard for him.
''If you are faithful to me-" Philip looked
fixedly at the wall over the rascals head, Il
you."
As Philip went out he glanced ON neither
side, but unhitched his horses and drove off
as if a pack of wolves were behind him He
never dreamed of cause of fear from the
pretty, black eyed woman who sat on the
seat with him, who was amiable enough to
keep up the conversation all the way home in
spite Of the ungraciousness Of the others.
After Mrs. EllinGsworth had alighted at her
house Bertha said, in displeased tone
Il so wanted to GO through the mill" But
her husband did not hear. lie was thinking

honor; their honeymoon. 1t surely would
control this dangerous servant since it had
worked so marvelously with tn lawyer.
II am so anxious to see how cloth is made"
persisted Bertha, never losing sight of her
object.
To be sure the servant had had personal Of
fense with his master. He might not, un-
naturally cherish malice. Gold is d SOW
ereign balm for wounded pride; but wouldn't
it have been wiser to have given him more
since he gave him somethingi He must at
tend to the matter tomorrow. Perhaps, after
all, there might be some hope for his wife
and for him. How glorious it was to be rich

to help Bertha to the ground. She held back
q moment with u new pretty coquettishncss.

He had not even heard her before. He

EVIL EYES.

Philip Breton began to notice in the next
few days that new spirit of discomfort had
come over the factory hands. Before the
walls of the new mill had risen ten feet from
its foundations, the smiles that used to sa-
lutte him, and warm his heart, as he walked
among his people and through the village
that he had made smile too-had faded from
averted, sullen faces. Once, the men and
women could find no words strong enough to
express their love and gratitude to him. Now
he heard constant complaints against the
long hours that he still Thought necessary
and against the smallness of their share in
the profits of the mill
