WASHINGTON, April Both. 1888.
Cleveland and Gray is q ~favorite ticket
with a great many democrats in Congress,
and at this time, it looks very much as if
this same ticket might be the choice of the
St. Louis Convention. New York and Indi-
ana have always made q winning combinat
ion for the democrats, Tilden and Hendricks
in 1876, Cleveland and Hendricks in 1884,
and why not Cleveland and Gray in 1888.
Secretary Whitney of the Navy Depart
ment is noted for his liberality. He never
does anything on a small scale. On Satur-
day last he chartered at his own exptnse two
special trains and carried $50 Congressman,
officials and newspaper men over to Phila-
delphia to witness the launching of the first
two vessels for the new Navy, the Yorktown
and the Dynamite cruiser.
The tariff is the absorbing theme in the
House of Representatives, where it will hold
the right of way for the next fortnight. So
far revenue reformers have no season to be
ashamed of the figures made by their champ
ions in the fight. If every voter in the coun-
try could read the debate on both sides up
to the present time and clearly understand
the issue, there is not much doubt as to
what the issue would be. Representative
Ford, of Michigan, made some telling points
in his speech on Thursday. For instance,
he said: "a tariff which gives comparatively
small number of men the right and opportun-
to tax millions of our citizens AZ per cent
more than their goods will sell for in the
open market cannot fail to have the result
of building up and maintaining vast monop-
oliss and trusts, whose enormus profits are
swelled and increased by the tribute which
the tariff authorizes them to levy upoh the
pockets of the people. Congress has no right
to take the part of q few manufacturers
against the great body of consumers. But
that is just what has been done. Our wa,
tariff declares for high prices for the pro-
Queer of iron, low prices for the producer Of
SoAAj nSA PAASSo NJ eAS pAouoSSA " l 6ASoc
low prices for the producer Of wheat. The
present tariff aims to secure to a few manu-
facturers {, disposal of their goods at a large
profit"
On Friday, Mr.. Tarnscy, of Michigan, who
has been claimed by the republicans to be
opposed to the Mills bill on account of its
putting lumber and salt on the free list, made
a speech placing himself in line with the
president. He said. 81 belong to that schoo,
of politics which believes in collecting from
the pockets of the American people so much
money as is necessary for the proper and
economical administration of the Government
and not IS beyond Neither myself nor tn.

traders; we are fair traders. We propose t.

The tecundity Of the American
newspaper field is proverbial. 1t pos
sesses a wonderful power o freproduc-
ton. The adaptation of the Ameri-
can journalistic mind to the necessities
of the people finds a remarkable veri-
fcation and illustration in the growth
and establishment of those papers de-
signed to shed light on the questions
now agitating public thought and Of
the education of the people thereon.
One of the most notable of these is
a weekly published in Chicago, called
"America." 1t is, as it says of itself,
a journal of today and tackles the
Questions that ~vitalize each hour Of the
day, with a mastery pen. lite lists Of
contributors is a grand one and from
the tone of it's articles, some of which
we will take the liberty of reproduce
ing, we do not hesitate to say,
"America" will deserve, as it must
command, success. Every thoughtful
man should read it.
The Farmers Voice, another
Chicago weekly, is up to its ears
in zeal and enthusiasm over
the u that so much interests the
people of Dakota. 1t styles itself "the
unofficial organ of all societies that
are laboring for the we'll being OF the
producing classes" 1t is decidedly
active and aggressive and a true dis
ciple of The teachings of O'Connell,
the great aagitator, and ispublished by
J. O. B. Scobey, formerly Of Dakota.
It should be. in the hands OF every
farmer.
Another vigorous little paper of
eight pages devoted to the cause of the
people in its struggle for social, politi.
cal, and moral freedom is called ''The
Word" published at St, Paul, MINI.
It, like the Farmers Voice" is illus.
trated with that class of cuts, which
though simple and unpretentious,
still have power ofmeaning in them.
These bran new publications are well
worth reading. They r gems in
every sense and we will take pleasure
IN showing them to our farmer friends.
Our sanctum-onious table has also
been graced by the presence Of other
meritorious publications, among which
may be mentioned one devoted to the
'art preservative Of all arts, and dia-
bolieally called the "Ink Fiend." It

The Republican party and its press
cannot get out of the rut of vituperat-
ion and calumny in which it has thirty
ed these many years. Forgetting that
its mission is accomplished and that
all it can live on are the dead and
gone issues, it contents itself with a
parade of what it has done as though
that were sufficient for the living pres.
ent.
1t offends every honest citizen and
patriot to the quick while perusing the
deeds Of which the once grand old
party lays claim and vain-gloriously
boasts, to reflect that the fathers of
that party in their hatred ofthe insti-
tuition of slavery declared as did their
greatest leaders, Lloyd, Garrison,
and Wendell Phillips, that the Con-
stitution of the United States was ga
compact with death and a covenant
with hell"
It is nauseous in the extreme to
every right reader of the history of the
Rebellion and all who lived in those
perilous times, when he is told that the
Republican party saved the country,
when we consider the sentiments of
those who we're willing to let the low
ing sisters depart in peace, and when
as is very we'll known, if it had not
been for those illustrious men, honor

rank and file to the numbers Of humid
reds of Thousands who from Democrat.
ic states, gave up their lives for the
preservation of the Union, we would
not today be the grand and glorious
Union that we now present for the ad.
miring gaze of the world.
Why is it that the republican press
is content to rely upon the dark past
and it's dead issues and fail to come
out into the open light of day and
meet the questions that now confront
and SO seriously affect the interests
and welfare of the people of today?
| Its adherence to the deadpast, its con.
tempt of the living present, reminds
one of the story oftwo men, who wher

asked the other to look out of the

was going to be. The latter opened

exclaimed, ut is dark as hell anc

While the tendency to brooches of regular

used was gold. Tweed gowns are the medium
for displaying handsome braidings, and are

gown had the all round basqued bodice COW
