CASSIDY AND NEAWEIL.

A fnir sized audience assembled at
the Courthouse last night. among whom
were number of ladies', for tho pur-
pose OF herring Hon. Geo. w. Cassidy
discuss the political issues OF the cam
paign. At 8 o'clock Hon. VIM. NJ.
Seawell WINS introduced ond in q few
brief remarks stnted that having been
nominated for the position of Justice
of the Supreme Court, without solicita.
lion on his patt. he had accepted the
trust, but as the position is purely a
Judicial one he did not deem it proper
to discuss political issues. aud il elected
should endeavor to discharge the duties
of the important position fairly and iu.-
partially, unbiased by any considera-
tons save those Of justice and equity.
Hon George W. Cassidy was then
introduced ind for M hour and half
proceeded, in n fair, calm and dispas-
sionate address, to discuss the political
situation of the present campaign. Mr..
Cassidy opened his address by stating
his reasons for being Democrat, prin-
cipsl among which is tnat he believes
the policy advo 'a:ed by that party more
nearly represents the interests of the
masses, while the policy of the Republi-
can party is to foster and encourage the
interests Of the monopolies as against
the people, that is to say, the Demo.
cratic purity favors the masses, while the
Republican party bends its energies to
uphold the classes. The speaker paid
q glowing tribute to the character and
patriotism of Abraham Lincoln, which
was Enthusiastically npplauded, and
stated that during his four years SER
vice in Congress he never. OH any oc.
cHsion, cast g vote against pension
bill, rs he would rather err in favoring
an unjust bill than to run the risk OF
doing an injustice to ono Of the defend.
ers of the Union.
Pr. Cassidy spoke briefly on the Chi.
nese question, the Fisheries Treaty, tho
Silver question ind the Tariff, on +ach
OF which he showed tbnt the sympnthies
of the Democratic party were with the
people. He called attention to the fact
that. IN spite of the assertion Of our po-
litical opponehts four years ago that
the Democratic party was opposed to
the claims of Union Soldiers, more
money has been paid for pensions
under the Administration of Grover
Cleveland than was paid during the
previous twelve yenrS Of Republican
rule. The speaker eulogiEed tho Ad.
ministration Of President Clsteland aud
drew n comparison between the Vicr-
Presidential candidates, Mdfton, the
London banker aid htockhOlder in q
British Railway, and Thurman, the
friend Of the PEOPLE, the true American
and the advocate of American interests.
If elected Mr.. Cassidy pledged himself
to devote his energies to Cue welfare OF
his constituents, ind affirmed That in NO
Case would he vote for the admission Of
Utah NJ Stats until every vebtige Of
polygnmy wHs wiped out and the peo-
pie of th"t Territory relieved OF the bur.
den of priestoraft under which they now
suffer. The address Was we'll received

Paper Bottles.

One of the most interesting of the
many uses to which paper has been puG
is the manufacture of paper bottles.
We have long had paper boxes, bar
rels and car wheels, and more recently
paper pals, wash basins and other ves-
sells, but now comes a further evolution
of paper in the shape of paper bottles,
which are already quite extensively used
for containing such substances as ink,
bluing, shoe dressing, glue, etc., and
they would seem to be equally we'll
adapted for containing a large variety of
articles.
They are made by rolling glued sheets
of paper into long cylinders, which are
then cut into suitable lengths, tops and
bottoms are fitted in, the inside coated
with waterproof compound, and all
this done by machinery as quickly as ono
can count.
They are cheaper and lighter than
glass, unbreakable, and consequently
very popular with consumers, while the
fact that they require no packing ma.
terial, and are clean, handy and econom-
ical, commends them to manufacturers.
Unlike glass, they can be manufactured
and shipped at all seasons; and being
made by machinery, the supply is indie
pendent of labor troubles, which are
additional advantages to manufacturers
who use bottles. SCI ntifc American

NOT As I WILL.

Blindfolded and alone stand,
With unknown thresholds on each hand,
The darkness deepens as 1 grope,
Afraid to fear afraid to nope;
Yet this one thing l learn to know
Each day more surely as go,
That doors are opened, ways are made,
Burdens are lifted or are laid,
By some great law unseen and still,
Unfathomed purpose to fulfill,
''Not as will"
Blindfolded and alone 1 wait;
Loss seems too bitter, gain too late;
Too heavy burdens in the load,
And too few helpers on the road;
And joy is weak and grief is strong,
And years and days so long, so long
Yet this one thing learn to know
Each day more surely as go, So
That am glad the good and i'll
By changeless law are ordered still
'fNot as wili.'
''Not as 1 will'-the sound grows SWEEP
Each time my lips the words repeat.
''Not as / will" The darkness feels
More safe than light when this thought steal
Like whispered voice to calm and bless
All unrest and all loneliness.
''Not as 1 will" because the One
Who loved us first and best has gone
Before us on the road, and still
For US must all his love fulfill,
''Not as 1 will"

Valued at a High Figure.

The Portland OregOnian says.-A mid
dle-aged lady, a newcomer, called at n
real estate agency to inquire about some
land She was somewhat of an eques-
trienne, which the agent soon learned,
and he tried to effect sale in this direc-
ton. After the usual questions about
the gentle proclivities of the animal for
sale, the agent relapsed into deep
thought for moment, as if considering
some political issue, and finally said in
n generous breath: "Madame, fyou are
injured in any way by that animal I will
pay you ooo yes, ITill will guarantee p to
the figures down in big black letters.

lady. "I don't consider myself Venus,

BCsII AND DRzvEL.

The Democratic papers are teem-
ing with bosh and driyel about the
purchase of voters by Republicans
on election day. They assume that
the Democrats went into the cam
paign confident of success on the
high plane OF the Free Trade issue,
and that = lot of rsscally monopo-
lies bought up the floating vote and
won.
Every man Of sense laughs at
this pitiful squealins over spilled
milk. Let us all get right down to
plain, bed rock facts, and admit
what is known to all, that beth Re-
publicans and Democrats spend
money on election day to buy votes
and that they have both been en-
gagged in the business for the past
half . century.
It is useless and childish for any
editor to parade himself as q
grseny by trying to convince his
readers that Only one side buys
votes. Both sides buy votes, and
beth sides will continue to buy
votes a. long as there are votes to
scll and money to buy them.
The Chronicle, of this State, il
the most pitiful squealer of the lot,
and it keeps On asserting that the
Democrats were in the majority in
Indiana, New York and Illinois,
but they were such contemplate
scallawags that taey sold their
Votes to the Republicans for five
dollars = head.
If the Chronicle is such an inn
maculate paper it ought to cut loose
from . party whose members are so
much On the sell.
