HIGH TARIFF,
besides furnishing the temptation for their
existence, enlarges the limit within which
they may operate against the people, and
thus increases the extent of their power Tor
wrong doing. With an una'terable hatred
of all such schemes we count the checking OF
their baleful operations among the good re-
suits promised by revenue reform. While we
canhot avoid partisan INSTRUMENTATION. our
position upon the question OF revenuc reform
should be SO plainly stated as to admit OF no
Misunderstanding. We have entered upon no
crusade of free trade The reform we seek
to inau2urate is predicated upon the utmost

A Demand for Federal Prisons.

We fail to recognize the justice of requir-
ing the states to supply, at their own ex-
penSe quarters for the accommodation of
federal prisoners, who have violated no
state law. Prisons cost, Oh the average, for
each cell provided, not less than one thou
sand dollars: and it may be estimated that
the amount Of money belonging to the
states, which is invested in cells for the use
of the national government, is not less than
one million dollars, to say nothing of the
amount invested by counties in county jails
for its convenience, which is probably as
much more. This evasion by congress of
it's proper responsibilities is one of the weak
features of popular government. 1t is of a
piece with that congressional policy which,
while complaining of the surplus in the
treasury, declines to make the necessary
provision for the disabled soldiers of the
civil war, and allows the states to furnish,
at their own expense, soldiers homes for
the veterans whose claim to support in their
old age is based upon services rendered,
not to the states, but to the national govern
ment.- Record.

knowledge unused for the good of others,
is more vain than unused gold.
If your hands cannot be usefully EN-
plOyed, cultivate your mind.
You find yourself refreshed by the pres
ence of cheerful people. Why not make
earnest effort to confer that pleasure upon
others?
When we become interested in another's
woes, we have taken the first step toward
forgetting our own.
True glory consists in doing what deserves
to be done, in writing what deserves to be
read, and in so living as to make the world
happier and better for our having lived in it.
Education begins the gentleman, but
reading. good company, and reflection must
finish him.
1t is not the number of friends that gives
us pleasure, but the warmth of a few.
No one ever yet knew what friends are
worth, till he has lived without them.
Perfect valor is to do without witnesses
what one would do before all the world
We could do great deal for each other if
we would only stop fearing what "people
will think" and take hearty interest In
helping others come to their best.
