year from the Brice railroad syndicate and he
has chance to make five times this amount

street and be lives at the New York club. He
has gotten used to New York ways Of living
and he says it is the finest place for
bachelor in the United States. He does not
intend to come back to congress again, but he
still holds his district in his pocket Gen.
Lefevre was perhaps the most successful
politician in congress, and he understood how
TO manage his district better than any other
member of the house. He kept a force Of
clerks continuously busy attending to tho
wants of his constituents, and he had a regis
ter of the names Of the people OF his district.
These names were thoroughly classified and
the list gave full data as TO each man. He
had the doctors by themselves, the lawyers
by themselves, the farmers by themselves,
and so on even to the customers and clerks
He put leading men all over the country un-
der obligation to him by sending them re-
ports and documents which he knew would
interest them and he spent great deal Of
money in buying reports for his constituents
Every farmer in Lefevre's district got a
package OF seed once year, and he answered
the lettars of his constituents the same day
that he received them.

Habit,

There was once horse that used to
pull around Il sweep which lifted dirt
from the depths of the earth. He was
kebt at this business nearly twenty
Years, until he became old, blind, and
too stiff in the joints to be of further
use. So he was turned into a pasture,
or left to crop the grass without any
one to disturb or bother him. But the
funny thing about the old horse was
that every morning, after grazing
awhile, he would start on a tramp,
going round and round in a circle, just
rs he had been accustomed to do for so
many years. He would keep it up for
hours, and people often stopped to look
and wonder what had got into the
head of the venerable animal to make
him walk around in such solemn way
when there was no earthly need of it.
But it was force of habit And the
boy who forms bad or good habits in
his youth win be led by them when he
becomes old, and viii be miserable OF
happy accordingly CAristsdn at Work.

A True Prophecy.

eyes, we may congratulate ourselves
that this cruel war is nearing to close.
It has cost vast amount of treasure
and blood. The best blood of the
flower of American youth has been
freely offered upon our country's alter
that the nation might live. It has
been, indeed, a trying hour for the re-
public, but see in the future crisis
that unnerves me and
causes me to tremble for the safety of
our country. AS a result of the war.
corporations have been enthrOned, and
an era of corruption in high places will
follow, and the money 1ooaeer of the
country will endeavor to prolong its
reign by working upon the prejudices
of the people until all the wealth is ag-
gregated in few hands and the re-
public is destroyed. I feel at this
moment more anxiety for the safety of
my country than ever before even in
the midst of the war. God grant that
my suspicious may prove ground
less. ''-Abr0haM Lincoln.

In THE list of election bets should be
chronicled wager of $500 won by a
young lady in New York on Harrison.
She bet in earnest and put up her
money like the other fellow, and took
her winnings like a man, but she didn't
impart any vermilion hues to her par
ticular part OF the town in conse-
quence; didn't increase the measure
ment Of her Uranium or stay out all
night to come home in cab while the
birds sang in the dawn, nor try to UNI
lock the front door with d hairpin or q
shoe hook; didn't 60 on a candy bender
or soda water fizz; didn't even buy a
bonnet OF a bon-bon box, but gave the
entire sum to charity. 1t is very dis
appointing that a girl with SO much
brilliancy in the winning of funds
should devote them to SO prOsiac and
orthodox an object.

Il was Doodle,

In casting about for the causes which
operated in defeating President Cleve-
land in New York, it is discovered
that money was used by the republic
cans in influencing the result as it
was never used before. This was
notably true of the interior counties,
where the largest gains were made for
the Harrison ticket. In the agricul-
tural districts there was copious en-
plOylnent of Doodle, and it was disburs-
ed in a manner which made every
dollar count. The financial resources
of the republicans in the late canvass
were practically inexhaustible. The
campaign fund was swelled to an enor-
nous extent by the privileged classes
who have grown rich under the foster
ing influences of protection, and thus
the money which is extorted from the
people by excessive taxation was used
to compass the success of a party which
makes the rich richer, and the poor
poorer. That the defeat of great
principle could be accomplished by
such means may not tend to strength
en- confidence in the hon esty and intel
ligence of the large body of voters thus
Influenced, but it not infrequently
happens that public evils are not over
thrown until they become SO great that
their sure and speedy destruction is
comprised by their enormfty.-Kansas

GROVER CLEVELAND.

When President Cleveland shall go
out of Office in March next he will leave
behind him a record that will establish
his reputation as patriot with an eye
single to the public interest, and as a
statesman of undaunted courage and
of marked capacity in the mastery of
public affairs.
+ Under his lead much has been done
to restore to the government the vast
grants of public lands to railroad cor
porations, in fraud of their owners
the people of the United States.
He has put check to various pen
sion legislation in the interests of
agents and undeserving claimants.
He has given the country safe and
prudent management of it's finances.
He has broken up the naval ring that
kept the country supplied with hulks,
and has given US respectable naval
establishment instead, for which we
have paid no more than our moneys
worth.
His administration has been free
from any form Of tolerated or covered
upsdishoDestv, peculation or fraud.
He has boldly sought to relieve the
country from overtaxation by proposing
such remission as would give the great
est relief to taxpayers and the greatest
assistance to depressed industries.
He has acted steadily upon his noble
motto that 'public Office is a public
trust" and that is the inscription
which must be put upon the grayestone
of his administration.
He might have obtained the political
and personal favor Of powerful corpo-
rations by neglecting the rights Of set
tiers upon public domain; he might
have courted immediate popularity by
winking at the pension raids on the
treasury; he might have needlessly
emptied the surplus money of the peo-
pie into the pockets of bondholders; he
might have perpetuated the system of
the Robesons and the Reaches in naval
expenditures; he might have put ras-
Gals into Office ON political solicitation,
and kept them in Office for political
advantage; and he might have listened
to the voice of expediency and follow
ed the lead of those SNUG and safe
counselors in his own party who strad-
die the tariff question, and who are
''for protection" in one spot and ''for
revenue in another.
But President Cleveland has not
done any of these things. He has been
true to his pledges. He has the cour-
age of his convictions. He gave the
country all the civil service reform he
could compress, and all the tariff re-
form within his power; and he has paid
the penalty. But his works do follow
him; and his party will inevitably re-
turn to power, in vindicatiOn of the
principles in defense of which he has
laid down his great cfice at the feet of
the people who gave it to him.
