ing In appearance. In her affidavit, made
before Justice of the Peace Tanauary, at
New Holland, the girl sets forth that she is
an orphan, and has made her home at her
erandfather's, Samuel Owens, sen., for the
past three years. She says that her ruin
was accomplished during the absence of
the family BY threats and promises. When

boy appeared and effected a compromise
by promising to take care of the mother

. highly respected farmer, and the trouble
brought about by the unnatural lust of his
son weighs heavily upon him. There is

ACCORDING TO Mr.. Randall, the expenses
of the judiciary department this year are
$3.50, 900 greater than in any previous year
indeed SO great and unnecessary are they
that Mr.. Randall feels inclined to say the
judiciary department "instead of being a
temple of justice, seems to be sink of in
Justice" Every man who has the good of
the South at heart should vote for Mr..
Cleveland's reelection. Should he be re-.
elected, it is hoped he will make several
changes in his cabinet. he could do SO
with great advantage to himself, to his par
ty, and to the country.

AMONG THE provisions of the constitution
of the Confederate States was one that &C.
clarsd that mo bountes should be granted
from the Treasury, nor should any duties
on importations from foreign countries be
laid t, promote or foster any branch ofindus
try" This was wise provision. Duties
GA imports, while ehey increase the profits
oft owners OF mines and factories, do not
increase the wages of their employees, but
do increase the cost of living. That they
do not increase the wages of labor is proved
by the fact that the cheapest labor is that
employed in the most protected Industries
while the dearest is that in those which are
not protected. That they do increase the
cost of living to their own extent is proved
by the difference ia the price of the neces'
saries Of life in this and in free trade countries.
Thea, too, there can not be much difference
in respect OF this subject between the con-
stitution of the Confederate States and that
of the United States, for even MIR. Randall
is on recent record as declaring that
tariff for the sole purpose of protection is

If ANY democrat, no matter how old and
true and consistent ne may be, has the inde-
psndeuce to express his opposition to any
one particular thing the President may say
or do, there are certain time servers and re
cpients OF the ADMINISTRATIONS favors who,
judging other people by their own low aud
selfish standard, at once attribute such dis
seat to personal feeling, being incapable oil
approaching properly the duty that impels
true democrat to point out the errors OF
the leaders Of his own party, in order that
those errors may, if possible, be corrected, or
their i'll effects be remedied. Mr.. Vest says
he "has differed with the President, and
would have gone farther than he has in GER
tain directions" So have and would most
other democrats; but because such is the
fact is no reason why all of them, or even
one, should be accused of being actuated by
personal feeling.

AIEX ANDRIA.
FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 6.

IT SEEMS impossible for republican poll
tics to get out of the rut ofsectionalism' ana
for Northern republicans to conceive the
idea that the people of the South are suo-
i,ct TO .he influences of human emotions.
There is hardly an occasion for the express
sion CT republican politics in the North on
which some reference to the defeat OF the
Scnth in the civil war is not made. Now
there are some worthy Southern republic
cans. not many to be sure, but some as good
and true men az can be found within the
democratic ranks. But, being men, they
have human feelings, and no man likes to
he reminded of q defeat, or to be looked
upon By mis- neghhors as supporter OF
partv that is opposed to them on sectional
grounds. and that delights to make them
feel uncomfortable by necessarily recalling
the bitter memories of their unsuccessful
cause. Even Mr.. Harrison, the republican
candidate for President, in his speech to the
committee who conveyed to him the formal
notification of his nomination, and on which
were some Southern men, had to lug IN
Appomattox and other totally unnecessary
references to the war. Instead of trying to
dissolve the solid South, the Northern re
pubIicans are silly enough to De doing all In
their power to preserve its solidity. For
which the democrats are duly thankful.

THE PRESIDENT, in his recent letter TO
the Tammany democrats, says:
1.-The republicans advocate system which
benefits certain classes of our citizens at the
expense of every householder in the land
system which breeds discomfort because
it permits the duplication of wealth without
corresponding additional recompense to Ia
Dor, which prevents the opportunity to
work by sitting production and limiting the
area of our markets, and which enhances the
cost of living beyond the laborer's hard
earned wages."
This is just exactly what the republicans
do and why it is that, in country of free
schools and cheap newspapers, an over
whelming majority of the people don't see
and know it, and vote accordingly, is one OF
the chief OF the many puzzles of this strange
evsntful age.
