and their candidates.
For the man who has the niece ,sary
qualifications it is not diScrcditablc to

by honorable means But if he neither

The Party Urged to Take Positive
Action on the Subject in Congress.


There seems to be strengthening convic-

prepare tariff bill of its own-a simple and
consistent measure, upon which the Republic

Congressman Milliken Of Maine brings
out deeply significant truth in this re-
mark:
1t would seem strange that our Free
Trade Democratic friends never think of
reducing the duty on sugar, which is 70 per
cent upon the co-t. and last year aggregated
SJs, uuD O00, while sugar is prime necessary
and the largest food charge in every family,
and also the duty upon rice, which in 100 per
cant upon its cost. did We not know that
these are two articles of Southern Demo
cratic productions and that the English back
ers of Free Trade in this country do not
produce either sugar or rice
The majority of the Ways and Means
Committee with real Bourbon instinct,
have -mothercd the wise and Just bill for
the removal of the sugar tax, introduced
in the House by Mr.. Milliken.
The Collector of Customs at Philadel-
plia tried to Justify his wholesale removal
of old soldiers from the Customs House
on the ground that they were terminals,
dead beats, and loafcrS." But Collector
Cadwalader was forced to admit to the
CougrcS >iona committee, when it came to
an oath, that they were hurried out be
cause they were Republicans and he
wanted their places for Democrats. The
obi soldiers should remember President
Cleveland'7 Philadelphia Collector for his
complimentary reference to them. But
he no doubt represents the President,
whose idea of the old soldier seems to be
about the -ame--that they are loafers and
dead heats without the right to live in the
land they saved.

SPLENDoR FROM WITHIN,

The Only Thing Which Makes the Real
and Lasting splendor From Without.
| Looking on fine faces, we admire
three things-features, color aud ex-
preston. The features, these forms of
brow and nose and chin, are requests,
coming often from far ancestors; our
colors, too, are in the main requests,
depending on the quality of tissue and
of blood the more immediate parents
give it; but expression is very largely
our own affair. And, even with good
| features and the clearest colors, ex-
preston is ''the best part of beauty
The play of thought and will and feel
ing on the face-of noble thoughts, firm
self-controls, and pure, unselfish, gen.
| tie feelings-we can ourselves secure,
if SO we will. Ten years of habit,
three years, or only one, will affect ex-
preston much Some one has said
that s'every face ought to be beautiful
at forty" and another, that mo old
person has a right to be ugly, be-
cause he has had all his life in which
to grow beautiful" That is to say,
life's opportunities of nobleness, or
even forty years OF opportunity, if well
used are enough to make SO much beau
ty within that it can not help coming
through the surface in graceful habits
of the nerves and muscles. The trans
figuration of pleasant smile, kindly
lightings of the eyes, restful lines of
self-control about the lips, pure shin
ings of the face as great thoughts kindle
inwardly, these things no parent makes
inevitably ours, and no fitful week or
two of goodness gives them, and no
of the visage, either, but only
kbitual nobleness and graciousness
Within; and this soiU give them all.
1 Splendor from scithtn!' It is the only
thing which makes the real and lasting
splendor aoiiaout. Trust that inevitable
law OF self-expression. Be, not seem!
Be to seem. Be beautiful, and you will
by and by seem SO. Carve the faces
from within, not dress it from without.
Within lies the robing-room, the
sculptor's workshop. For whosoever
would be fairer, illumination must be-
gin in the soul-the face catches the
glow only from that side. 1t is the
spirits beauty that makes the best face.
even for the evenings company; and
spirit beauty is the only beauty that
outlasts the work and wear and pain OF
