| GRADES Of the service to which it is applic-
able. The spirit and purpose Of the re-.
| form should be observed IN all executive
appointments, and all laws at variance
with the object Of existing reform legIsla-
tion should be repealed, to the end that
The danger to free institutions which turks
in the power Of official patronage may be
wisely and effectively avoided"
The gratitude Of the nation to the de
Tenders Of the union can not be measured
by laws. The legislation of Congress
should conform to the pledges made by
loyal people, and be so enlarged and ex-
tended as to provide against the possibility
that any man who honorably wore the
federal uniform shall become the inmate
Of an almshouse, or dependent upon
private charity. In the presence of an
overlooking treasury it would be public
scandal to do less for those whose valor-
Gus service preserved the government.
We denounce the hostile spirit shown by
President Cleveland in his numerous
vetoes Of measures for pension relief, and
the action Of the democratic house of
representatives in refusing even consid-
Grafton OF general pension legislation.
In support of the principles herewith
enunciated we invite the cooperation OF
patriotic men of all parties, and especially
Of all workIngmen whose prosperity is
threatened by the free trade
policy Of the present administration.

TO swim about with hia head below the

until the weather changes.

instance that laudanum is poison,
that naphtha is deadly explosive, that

tem,--it is ones duty TO know the fact
and the consequences thereof. Our
good old grandmothers knew for in
stance, that the opening OF spring
was the most perilous period Of the
year.
Why!
"Because then the blood stream is
sluggish and chilled by the cold wealth
er, and if not thinned a good deal and
made to flow quickly and healthfully
through the arteries and veins, 1t is
impossible to have good vigor the rest
of the year. Hence, without except
ion, what is now known as Warmers
Log Cabin Sarsaparilla, was plentiful
ly made and religiously given to every
member of the family regularly through
March, April, May and June. 1t is a
matter of record that this prudential,
preventive and restorative custom saw
ed many fit of sickness, prolonged
life and happiness to vigorous old
age, and did away with heavy medi-
cal expenditures.
Mrs. Maggie Kerchwal, Lexington,
KY, used Warmers Log Cabin Sarsa-
parilla "for nervous sick headache of
which | had been a sufferer for years.
1t has been great benefit to me-"

Berks Co., says she "was entirely cured
of skin disease of the worst kind"
by Log Cabin Sarsaparilla. Bad skin
indicates very bad condition of the
blood.
If you would live and be well, go to
your druggist to-day and get Warmers

good.-and completely renovate your

The Country Editor.

There is an IDEA in the minds of
many who ought TO know better, that
the "country editor stands on the low
est platform of the pr, fesslon, and that
he who is employed in any capacity,
no matter how humble, on u ihetropol-
itan journal is his superior. There is
no grrattr mistake. An editor who
has held important chairs in metropoli
tan offices, and who has the reputation
OF having been successful, remarked /;
II do not hesitate to write the leaders
of the most important journals, bu, l
would tremble to undertake the man
agement Of a village newspaper"
There is no place in the profession 40
difficult TO fill as that of a country edi
tor. In cities man who can do u.e
department well bothers himself ab,u,
no other. Nor need he; he gets the
knack of his specially, and continues
at it. But the country edit,r must b,
good in all departments he must oe
we'll read on all subjects he must be
able to discern the trend of the public
mind 10 politics, religion, and social
topics he must discuss agriculture and
anarchy with equal prt cision h. must
be fluent on polemics and politics; h..
must write of the President and pump
kins; be must mind men of high de
gree and descend to things of low
estate in short, he must be an 'all
round man. Ii is this that make- the
position of country editor s." hard to
fill. 1t is this training that makes the
good country editor such a splendid
manager for a metropolitan daily.
There is no place, except in a country
office, where such all-round training
can be had.

THE COON AND HIS SHADOW.


/ hf SvnN buIfONs
The sky with clouds was overcast,
The fiayos Of snow were falling fast,
And soon the woods and nelds around
Had not spot Of naked ground.
Returning from a morning stroll,
An old Coon sto, upon knoll,
Who looking round with woefui face
Said, In the language OF his race:
There's only one thing left for me,
And must find some hollow tree"
The needed place was quickly found,
He entered it with nimble bound,
And having made cozy nest,
He laid himself away to rest.
''Now let the winds OF winter scream,
There will lay and sleep and dream"
Though to his narrow house was doomed,
Yet In his dreams he often roamcd,
Among the shallow streams he nshed,
And found the kind OF food he wished;
or with companions often played,
And on the corn fields made raid.
But on one dark and foggy night,
He found himself In dangerous plight,
While on fallen tree he stood,
He found by dogs he was pursued,
And though the night was damp and dark,
He knew the Coon-dog by his bark.
