This Demi- British Administration

When The Pre- IS exposed the fact that a
British ship, bearing the name of ''Alabama,'
with its British ass sociations flying the British
flag and controlled and operated By British
capital. was dredging New York harbor- the
excuse was made that, Secretary Fairchiid
puts it, no domestic vessel of sufficient strength
and capacity could be obtained for the purpose
mentiOned.''
1t has been shown, however, that there is no
truth in this. There arc,' says the Marine
journal, .plenty Of american Steamships
better adapted than the State Of .ilabumd."
The real reason is the fact that the British vessel
is cheaper to charter. is the government so poor
that it has to save money by discriminating
against home labor and home plants, lust as il
did when it bought British blankets to save
three dimes per blanket: This seems to be Il
Dem-BTitish administration. The Press.

We find that we have unntcntionaly done
President Cleveland an injustice. The Mug
wump press recently announced that, influence
ed by Mrs. Cleveland. the President had sworn
off, We had no reasons for doubling their ail-
thorty or questioning the statement. If Mrs.
Cleveland is the charming woman she is repre-
sented to be she ought to have Il good deal of
influence with the President, and would natur-
ally use it in the right direction. We lind,
however, that this story is treated as 4 cam
paign libel, and it is resented by the Buffalo
Demokrat in the following indignant terms
We know from the best sources that Presi-
dent Cleveland remains true to his habits of
life, which are entirely solid and free from any
inclination toward temperance nonsense. We
know especially that very recently in a social
circle with friends from Buffalo lie has taken
spirituous drinks. not privately or sneakingly,
but publicly and in the evident consciousness
that he was doing something lawful and HARM
less. In regard to the assertion of the Chicago
Mail that through the influence of Mrs. Cleve-
land the President has sworn off, we simply
repeat our averment that this is untrue. y
Thus the false assertion of the Chicago Mail
respecting MIR. and Mrs. Cleveland was calcu-
lated to make an unfavOrable impression upon
voters who are prepared in the present cam
paign to support the President"

Building Monuments.

- --- 5Ft : -
Through life we build our monuments
OF honor, and perhaps of fame:
The little and the great events
Are blocks of glory or of shame.
The modest, humble, and obscure,
Living nnnotieed and alone,
May raise Il shaft that will endure -
Longer than pyramids of stone.
The arven statue turns to dust,
And marble obelisks decay,
But deeds of pity, faith and trust
No storms Of fate a sweep away
Their base stands Oh the rock of right !;
Their apex reaches to the skies;
They grow with the increasing light
Of all the encircling centuries.
Our building must be good or bad;
In words we speak, in deeds we do !;
On sand or granite must be laid
The shaft that shows us false or true.
How do we bnild-what can we show
For hours, and days, and years Of
toll?
Is the foundation firm below
Is it on rock or sandy soil
The hand that lifts the fallen up,
That heals a heart II binds a wound,
That gives the needed crust and cup,
Is building upon solid ground.
Is there Il block of stainless white
Within the monumental wall
On which the sculptured skill can
write:

1t is a common complaint that the
farm life is not appreciated by Ill
people. We long for the more elegant
pursuits, or the ways and fashions of
the town. But the farmer has the
most safe and natural occupation, and
ought to find life sweeter, if less high
ly seasoned, than any other. He
alone, strictly speaking, has a home.

many he has; his friend |
ships with his cattle, his team, his dog,
his trees the satisfaction in his grow

intimacy with nature, with bird and
beast, and with the quickening ele-
mental forces; his cooperation with
the clouds, the sun, the seasons, heat,
wind, rain, frosts. Nothing will take
the various social distempers which
the city and artificial life breed out of
a man like farming, like direct and
loving contact with the soil. 1t draws
out the poison. It humbles him
teaches him patience and reverence,
