THE Chicago Inter Ocean understands
70 o,,ifa tbnrouuhly.

THE Chicago Inter Ocean understands
it quite thoroughly:
Minnesota was the brightest rainbow
some of our weakened Republicans
feared the persuasive power of tariff re-
form in the Northwest. But on a pro-
lection issue the Republicans gained
three congressman in Minnesota. Cal
Brice's rainbows were very attractive,
but the free trade end of them came
down on the other side of the ocean,
and that which Brice thought was
planted in Minnesota was over in Cana
da. Mr.. Brice should have learned long
ago that in the Northwest distances are
more deceptive because of the peculiar
clearness of the atmosphere.

MUGwUMP papers like the Pioneer Press
and Chicago Tribune are very anxious to
make out that the tariff issue had but lit
lie potency in the influences which gave
the grand Republican victory last week
They point TO Connecticut and New Jer-
sey rs proofs that the agitation of the
protection VS.. free trade issue had little
effect. This sort of talk may ease the
minds of these sheets, which, had they
run things would have had the tariff is
sue relegated to behind and thereby lost
the victory, but every intelligent man
knows that the campaign Just finished
was fought entirely upon the tariff issue
and none other. Doesn't the PIP. sup
pose its readers in this state know that
for the past three months the tariff qucs-
ton has been discussed in newspapers,
school houses and on the street corners
to the exclusion of all others? OF course
it does, and its attempt now to make out
that the grand avalanche of Republican
votes is not sure and overwhelming
endorsement of the Republican party g
protective tariff policy is foolish and ma
licious. The tariff was the issue in Min
nesota as we'll as in New York, and ev-
erybody knows it. Had the Republican
party not stood nobly by it's principles
in the matter, but compromised with the
enemy as the PIP. and Chicago Tribune
wanted it to, the victorious yeils of De-
mocracy would now be heard instead of
the protection shouts of Republican
hosts. In Connecticut everybody knows
the Democracy won by making people
believe they were protectionists them
selves, and the tariff on wood screws was
left untouched by the Mills bill for that
purpose. In New jersey, Gen. Fisk's
personal popularity gave the Democracy
the victory. 1t Is all right for the Re-
publican party to fulfil its pledges for
tariff reform, and it will do 80. But We
desire to say that if the dictates of the
Chicago Tribune clique are followed on
the question, and the Republican party
goes back on its protection principles AS
they want it to, then the victory of the
g. o. p. will be short-lived. No, no.
The Democracy split upon the rock of
free trade disguised as tariff reform. Let
the good ship of Republicanism look out
for the same sort of breakers

TIE capture of the Delaware Legisla-
ture by the Republicans and the conse-
quent gain of United States Senator
are due to the quarrel between the two
Democratic proprietors of the State
Bayard and Salisbury. An ambitious
young Democrat put himself forward as
an aspirant for the seat which Salisbury
vacates in March, and, contrary to the
long long-standing family compact, the
Bayards supported him. The question
for Salisbury to settle became whether
he would be defeated by Republican
or by Bayard. He preferred the form
er as involving less personal humiliation.
and his friends therefore so voted
as to give the Republicans the two coun-
ties of Kent and Sussex, the other-the
Bayard County of Newcastle-remain
ing Democratic. Eich of these three
counties has three Senators and seven
members of the Lower House. Gener-
ally they all go Democratic bv fair ma
jorIties. This time, by close scratching,
the Republicans were able to get four
teen House and two Senate members,
which gives them majority of two on
joint ballot. That party has suffered for
years from the effect of the Election law
concocted by the 'Bayards which pro-
vides that no man shall vote who has
not paid a county tax at least six months
prior to election. The Democratic As
SCISSORS have 30 managed it that the
of delinquent Democrats were
kept on the books while those ofRepub-
licans were dropped incontinently. They
have managed also to keep out of the
way of Republican voters at the last mo-
ment, and have steadily contrlved to
hundreds of them. On a
fair vote Delaware would be close State. |
The Republicans have never had a SEN |
ator from there. Before the war it was
FederalIst or Wing, but when the rebel
lion broke out the ruling families slid |
over into State rights Democracy and |
have held the State there ever snce. Sem
ator Gray's term does not expire until
1893, and for four years at least there will |
be the anomaly of Senate with neither
q Bayard nor Salisbury in it, which |
has not happened since 1851.

Teach Your Children the Proper
Use of Money.

Many parents permit their children
to spend for candy or toys every cent
that is given them. Others are con-
tinually instructing their children TO
save all their "pennies." In either
case the parents evince a deplorahle
ignorance of the true uses of money
namely, spending with discretion,
saving, and giving. Even very
young children can be taught, 10 "A
certain extent, the real value and best
use of money. Wise parents will
strive to impress upon their children
the necessity of forming prudent hab-
its of spending money TO advantage
so that some article of utility or value
is always obtained for it the duty Of
exercising systematic and judicious
charity, and that the purest happiness
that can be experienced upon earth
springs from the practice Of beneyo-
lence.
We have in mind a little one who,
like most children, lost no time In
visiting the candy or toy store after
he received a penny. IL his parents
had allowed him TO continue In
this habit he might have grown up
a spendthrift. by judicious training
however, this tendency was checked,
and he was early made to understand
the most judicious use of money.
The possession of bank-book aroused
his business instincts and made him
ambitious 10 add % his little capital
from time to time. At the same time
he was encouraged TO occasionally buy
a toy of the kind best calculated 10
furnish occupation or amusement for
a considerable length Of time. He
always remembered "the poor chill
dren" in his prayers, so strongly were
his sympathies excited in their behalf
and, unlike too many adults, his
sympathy did not begin and end in
prayers.

Give Children Something to do.

An important point in managing
children is TO always have ready some
thing for the little hands 10 do at
those times which come quite often
on rainy and other days when, tired
at play, they listlessly gaze through
the window or wander aimlessly
about, not knowing what to do with
them elves. Children at such times
are great trial to the busy and Of
ten nervous people of the house, and
are quite likely To be scolded, tho
such a course is so unwise and un-
just that it can lead only 10 the worst
results in the children's future.
Calm and reproving words, kindly
spoken, are necessary with all bright
children and are usually very effect
i've, but words uttered in a sharp,
scolding tone must in most cases
work an injury to the child's disposi-
ton. It is all the more sad, because
the matter could be so easily managed
by a very little attention on the moth
er's part.
How often we hear mothers or old
er sisters say to some little child who
is full of desire to do right If IL only
knew how, "Do get something to do (;
how lazy you are; never saw such
a good-for-nothing child I'm sure
| don't know what is to become Of
YOU" and a great deal more Of such
talk, which, alas, most people have
heard too often. The child at such
times is not in fault. IL is the moth
er's duty to see that suitable work is
always ready, and she should require
the child TO do a moderate task for
which she should not be afraid 90
give a due measure of praise after it
is done. Always be careful TO see
that the child is not kept too long at
one task as such a course would be
worse than idleness.
1t is worthy of note that the work
given to a child has a great influence
in molding the mind and taste. A
child kept always knitting stockings
or cutting carpet rags will be very
practical, perhaps too much so. A
wise mother will have a variety of
work, both useful and ornamental.
Some parents think it useless 10 teach
boys to sew or knit. IL Is not, how
ever, for there are many times in "A
boys life when such knowledge may
prove useful. / have often observed
that many college boys could mend
their own clothes while they were
quite up i'm their classes. / think
the subject should be thoughtfully
considered by parents, seeing to IL
that time should never hang on their
children's hands for want OF some
thing to do.

They thought that they would catch the Vermonters
asleep,
And slaughter their votes well as their sheep.
But the Green Mountain boys on hand for the

They smote the Free Traders and put them to flight
From Canada's border to Bennington town,
They struck the invaders relentessly down.
Oh, where the plans that bold Smalley inspired?
And where the votes Hi Atkins desired?
Gone, gone for Protection and Dillingham; too,
While the Free Trade commanders are beaten and

Empty Hands.

Oh! we often complain of our burdens,
AS we struggle up life's weary hill;
And we think if we only might drop them
We would climb the wild sleeps with will.
But if ever our prayer should be granted
We would find, altho' freed from our bands,
That the heaviest burden man can bear
Is pair of empty hands.
Tho the day may seem long to the toiler,
And he sighs for the hour of rest,
When the cool evening wind shall bring quiet
And peace to the weary breast,
He will find, if his burden is taken,
Ere beside the dark river he stands,
That the heaviest burden God can send
Is pair of empty hands.
Then, although my load may seem heavy
And greater than can bear,
Let me cheerfully bend to the burden,
Nor ask to be freed from care,
Then whenever the task is finished,
And my feet press the golden sands,
L may not receive as my just reward
A par of empty hands.
