Grover and the Mugwumps.

When We consider the patronage
of this great Office. the Presidency, the
allurements of power, the temptation
to retain public places once gained.
and, more than all. the availability a
party finds in an incumbent, whom a
horde of office-holders. with a zeal
born of benefits received and fostered
by the hope of favors yet to come,
stand ready to aid with money and
political service" said George William
Curtis and his fellow Civil-Service re-
formers in New York the other day.
1--WE recognize in the eligibility of the
President for reelection a most serious
danger to that calm, deliberate and in
telligent action which must character
ize government of the people" Now,
if it is dangerous that President
should be eligible for reelection it is
dangerous also to re-elect him. 1t sets
a bad example that ought to be dis
couraged by sincere men. and we look
to see Mr.. Curtis and his fellow-reforn,-
ers come out strongly against the re
election of Cleveland. three years of
whose Administration have been an in
trigue for Office. Chicago Tribune.

CHARLES DICKENS IDEA.
Free Trade for England, Protection for
the United States.

Free Trade for England, Protection for
the United states.
Charles Dickens, Jr., has proved
himself to be a man of more than ordi-
nary quick perception, one who gets to
the meat of proposition readily and
reasons briefly and lucidly, but in such
a striking and yet plain manner as
to make every point tell. He was
recently asked his opinion upon the
tariff question. and he declared himself
free trader in England and protec-
tionistS in America. Said he:
In Englsnd free trade is indispensable. for we
can neither supply our manufacturers nor sup
port people from our products. With you in
America it is altogether different. Your great
country produces almost every thing except the
Injuries for a few, and protects you from COM
petition with the poorly paid labor OF Europe.
Comment upon the above is scarcely
necessary. The son OF his father has
so clearly set forth the whole case in a
nutshell that it would be superfluous
to attempt to add to it. The difference
between the two countries and the nee
essities of each are as lucidly set forth
as they could be in a column of argu-
ment. Every workingman in Amer
lea should cut out this little slip from
Dickens and paste it in his hat. 1t
should be to him hereafter his political
Bible Sacramento Bee.

What Congress Costs.

There are just 40l members of the
House and of the Senate. and to wait
upon them and run errandS and hold
open the doors As they pass in and out.
and carry the cards OF their callers and
take care of the thousands of bills they
put in they have employed about 400
people. who are paid the snug little sum
of S6Si,000 for doing so. Every men,
Der has one employee, and for the service
of the same there is paid an average of
about 81, 800 each. The snug little sum
of SSS0.0O0 is required to pay the sal
aries of the Senators. and for the COM
pensation of the members of the House
$685. 900 is to be provided. and this
brings the salaries of our National law
makers to total of over 81. 000. 900 per
year. 1t costs little less than $50, 900
per session TO pay the mileage of the
members, and the country pays $4,000
to purchase the stationery for members
and officers of the House alone in any
one session. The Treasury pays So. 900
for reporting the debates, whether Con-
greSs sits for one month or for twelve
as the official reporters. like most of the
clerks, are paid by the year, though
they seldom do more than twelve
months work in the twenty-four
months that make up Congressional
term. Washington Letter.

CAUGHT AT LAST.
How an Innocent Old Bachelor Drif.ed
to His Doom.

By reason of his skillful maneuver.
ing and great adroitness, Mr.. Billings
had lived to the age of forty-nine with
out becoming benedict, but in an un-
guarded moment the discipline of q
lifetime awaited him nothing.
1t was on May morning that he
strolled into a garden with Miss Tenie
McGinnis, spinister of forty-eight.
They sat down on a garden bench, and
Mr.. Billings unwittingly said:
.'See those robins building their nest
in that old apple tree"
80, Mr.. Billingsr' but Billings,
seeming to have lapsed into idiocy,
rambled on:
Don't you like to see the little birds
mate ?"
30. Mr.. Billings; how you do
talk -
Really, Miss McGinnis, /"
20. Mr.. Billings ~
why. Miss"
20, Mr.. BiIliagsr'
..No, but really, Miss McGinnis, I'm
in earnest love to"
20, you naughty man! And did
YOU bring me out here to say this to
me? o, Mr.. Billings -
..Why, only said that l loved"
"O-oh-it's all so sudden. What
shall 1 say ?" I-I-suppose you'll
just make me say yes. II-Oh.
Georger'
why. Il"
"My George =
"Why. woman. /"
II suppose | could be ready in
month if you really insist on it, dear
George"
..See here, Miss"
Hush. darling, some one IS coming.
And when their host and hostess APP
peared Miss McGinnis blushed and
said with downcast eyes
Were engaged"
And Billings hadn't the nerve to
deny it-so they were marketable

PAID HIS WAY.

I amt complsinin' any.
Ill go il you think it's right
never ask nary bite nor penny,
Only just TO be treated ,Chns.
But Steye-bimeby-vhenyo you see me laid out
Remember the words say:
Though now some hates 10 see me about,
I've usually paid my way.
I'm eighty next January
Born eighteen hundred an eight
I've opened two farms on the virgin prairie,
An worked EN- early an late,
Come rain or come shine. a-scrapin' together
Each mouthfe we eat day by day;
never rode desdhead in no kind o weather;
always paid my way.
Your mother an me worked hard
How hard you'll never know
Bearin' the heat an standin' guard
To keep out the rain an snow.
The morgi'ge KEEP eatin' into the bone
An the war, il come along too.
Well / went-I went an left mother alone
With Sis In the cradle, an you.
Served m time, an then commenced
On the second prairie quarter.
spose you've forgot how plowed an fenced
An nigJered as no man orter.
To raise my babes an feed my wife,
An she scrimped till her hair was gray.
We didn't lead no joke OF a. life,
But reckon we paid our way.
No tavern amt good enough
For a man like me TO die in.
The work that's made me stubbed an rough
Should a earned me bed 10 lie in
Under the roof OF my only son,
Though his wife is proud an gay
raised you, schooled You so you got or;
reckon I've paid my way.
Your city-bred wife is set
Ag'in me, as / can see.
Il don't blame her; it's turrible fret
Her hayin 70 eat with mel
She never speaks, an she never dreams
OF harkn 10 what say;
But your babes love me, an il hardly seems
T their gran dad is in the way.
So ye want to board me round
Well-mother's heart d be broke
II she warn't sleepin under the ground,
Not hearin the words you've spoke.
She'd allow you'd like TO have me hero
What time I've got left to stay;
For. Stevie. better than fifty year
She knowed me to pay my way.
OF course I'm too old TO learn,
But Ikind o. hate to leave;
Parlin' from you an my gran Children,
It's that tht knocks me, Steve.
I'll keep 10 myself, an I'll try TO do.
Such small Jobs as / may
Jest to be near 10 che babes-an' you
guess / can pay my way.
