If tine Democratic party ever had
occaslon to ponder over its mistakes
it i now.
The campaign they fought was a
fIeht founded on false and dead is
sues, and constituted nothing but .
bunslinr attempt to humbug and
deceive the American people. They
;nsulted the intelligence OF the
American voter in the East by the
old threadbare trick OF saying that
the Republican nominee had said
that one dollar a day was enough
for a worklngman, and on this
Coast the old battered anti-Csinese
gong was hammered on centinu-
ously.
The dollar day lie has been
hurled against every Republican
Presidential candidate for a quarter
of a century. and intelligent people
only laugh at it and spit upon it.
On this Coast the anti-Chlnese gag
has had its run, and is stalcr in a
campaign than an old messy min
strel joke.
The Democr ats had no issue.
Thew had formulated free trade
platform, and held their Conven-
ton the day before the Oregon
election, SO that a Democratic VIC
tory would give it impetus, and the
result being otherwise, they were
Obliged to abandon their plan OF
campaign on the eve of battle.
Cleveland's free trade manifesto
kicked them back into . line oil
march that led inevitably to dis
aster, and although they saw the
.;sn boards all aleng the bleak and
rocky road, they had no alternative
Init to follow the lead OF the blind
Old Roman and the Presidential &C.
cident.
Driven out of every position
they attempted to hold, they called
in their English re-enforcenents
and Cleveland, to get the support
Of the Banks, placed his iliegal
hand into the treasure box of the
nation and loaned $50, 100000 o
the peoples money without interes
to the gold bugs of Wall Street.
He practically used public money
to purchase the support OF these
man. 1t was the most daring ant
shame-faced assumption OF Powe
aver known since the days OF Nero
and the people rebuked it.
The election Just passeu u III
most important since the crisl
which demanded the presence Q
Lincoln at the head OF affairs. l
was then q question Of whether tn
country should dreop under the IN
Auepce of slavery, and this time
was . question of whether or nc
Free Trade. q twin sister OF Slavery
should blight the established II
dustries of America.
England was an ally Of the Sout
in 1861, and was also its ally
1883.
Tho country has been saved
its developers, and the csnmerci'
supremacy of the United States .
surred for the next quarter OF . Gel

relltns sermon.

Occasionally the South is told the
truth by . Southerner. The other
day Henry w. Grady, OF Atlanta
speaking Of the natural resources OF
h;s state and the lack of enterprise
in making use Of them, instanced
the death OF . man in Pickens
county. They dug a grave for him
throush three feet Of marble. but
the maidstone which they placed at
the head of his grave was brought
from Vermont. The cemetery was
hedped about by q dense pine Forest
Int the pine coffin in which he lay
came from Philadelphia. The bills
about him were full OF iron un-
touched BY man, but Pittsburs FUR
nished the calls which held the Id
mon him. Even the handles o.
tho shovels and picks which dug MS
crave were brought from the North
though the same material by the
million feet was within sight. Hi'
,hoes we're from Massachusetts hl'
clothes from Chicago, and his ma
from Cincinnati. His native ota''
forn,shed nothing but the marrow
Of his bones and the malaria Which
carried him of. This is better thai

Is 1t for Jay GOuld2

There is a certain rich man of New
York, currently reported to be out
Of health, who isspehdihg hissummer
in cheerful mortuary pursuits. The
architects who design his houses and
yachts for him are just now hard at
work on the drawings for tomb
that is to be at once the biggest,
most ornate, and most thoroughly
burglar-proof last resting-place in
this country. It will reach some hun
dred or more feet in the air, cover
nearly half an acre of ground, re-
quire something like three years to
complete the rich and beautiful sculp-
lures with which it will be adorned,
and the vault to contain the ashes
Of the dead plutoerat Is marvel of
mechanical ingenuity.
In the first place, the ponderous
slabs of granite forming the four
sides of the receptacle for the coffin
are nearly Nlree feet in thickness.
The upper one moves on springs as
smoothly as a door, but only when
certain intricate combinations have
been carried out upon the lock, and
any fumbling with the fastenings by
hand that does not know the
proper springs to be pressed and
pulled awakens certain engines Of de-
struction which will makeit decidedly
uncomfortable for the fumbler. But
the hardy body-snatcher would have
first to penetrate through many OBJ
stacles and difficulties before he
reached the place where he could sat
isfactorily blow himself into smith
ereens.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Affected PictY.
The Congregationalist.

The C0ngregationalist.
Sofrie people can not, or at any
rate do not. talk about religious sub
jects except with the use of a special
phrase0logy and a peculiar tone OF
voice; neither of which they ever
adopt under other circumstances.
We know some who never walk up
the aisle to their peWs In church ex-
cept with body bent, head dropped
between the shoulders and slightly
Bowed; and a lettering, tip-toeing sort
Of gait, as if a natural, upright car
rage We're an unhallowed thing,
These pec;diiiidrities usually, if not al
ways, are due to a reverent spirit.
but are The illustration of a mistake
as to what is essential to the exhibit
ton of such a spirit In most in
stances they do harm to Others, and
sometimes they react mischievously
upon those in whom they appear.
Nothing Is more important as an ele-
ment of influential personal piety
thar fiaturalness. When one who
has become a professor Of religion is
perceived by his acquaintance to be
stiff and formal in speech, they dis
trust him little. Words or phrases
in regard to religious subjects which
are not natural to him, and which
evidently do not express any real
feeling or actual experience ofhis own,
inevitably have a parrot-like, sing
Song effect, which repels because
1t suggests d doubt Of their sincerity.
Whatever causes Us to seem artificial
robs us OF power over Others Even
If 1t rep. esent an actual and proper
frame Of hind! and is effected only in
appearance, it does no good; indeed,
it does positive harm. Naturaiilsss,
therefore, straightforward simplicity,
must be preserved as much as posi-
BILE: The danger OF losing this lies
largely in the fact that young Chris
tiafis Gftetl suppose that they are ex-
pected to speak and act like those
who are much older. and their elders
often treat them es If this were, desir-
able: But it is not. Boys and girls,
young men and women, on entering
the service of JESUS Christ, are to re-
main young people, and should not
be encouraged to put on the manners
of greater age. The chief thing for
them to aim at is to be consecrated
young people, to think and talk and
behave with the same unaffected nat
uralness tts ever, but with q holy
purpose and spirit which may sweeten
and enneble their whole conduct and
influence: They should not even
think much about being natural, for
studied naturalness is almost iinpos
sible: We all 6ught to think it'll
about ourselves, and much aboue
the Lord Jesus Christ. When our at
tention is fixed on him we are the
simple, natural, and useful disciples
that we ought to be.

The Widow Of q Celebrated Man.

A Buffalonian writes from Orr's Is
land on the coast of Main of a pleas
ant morning spent with Mrs. Mac
Gahan, the widow ofthe famous CORE
spondent whose accounts of the
Bulgarian atrocities had a large share
in the work of changing the map of
Southeastern Europe. Mrs. Mac
Gahan is Russian, and at the time
of her marriage could speak no Eng
fish. AS her husband could speak no
Russian, they used to converse in
French altogether. She now talks to
her little boy of thirteen one week in
Russian and thenext in French. She
is the American correspondent of two
St. Petersburg newspapers, and is en-
gagged upon a novel OF Russian life
she is writing in English. AT Orr's
Island she has been with the family
of Nathan Dole, of Boston, the ac-
complished translator of Tolstoi's
novels. 1t will be remembered that
Buffalonians were somewhat taken
aback last winter when Charles Will
Jams the English correspondent,
spoke of MacGahan as a fellow
countryman. He regarded the fact
of the latter's birth in Ohio as q
matter of no consequence.

She Refused $685. 900.

The tenacity with which people love
to hold to their homesteads is illus
trated in a piece of land which is at
Bar Harbor, the fashionable water
ing-place, and which has "a view"
and would be splendid site for a
cottage. 1t is owned by an old Irish
washerwoman who has hut and
dries her clothes there. All persusa-
ions to sell it have failed to move
her, and it is said that $3.50, 900 was
offered for the property this summer.
The simple-minded Bar Harborites
have always resented the inroads of
"the swells" and the way they have
appropriated the place, and many of
them have similarly refused to
sell their birthplaces.-Philadelp
Times.
