The plans and purposes of the fire.

The plans and purposes of the free
traders develop to the public as the dis
cussion of the great campaign issue pro-
crosses. The dogma of free trade and
direct taxation" logically and unavoida-
bly, calls for restricted suffrage as the le-
gitimate sequel TO a property qualifca-
ton to entitle the citizen TO the privilege
of the ballot, A direct tax implies the
possession of something to tax, the alb
sence of which would relieve a large
number Of any share of the burdens of
the government, and this in turn would
be used in defense of the demand that
the privileges of participating in the gov
eminent, i. G., the right to vote and hold
office should be restricted. Ia short. the
doctrine of free trade if put to practice
and permitted to run to its logical end
could not fail to disfranchise a large
majority of the voters of the country.

The opinion Of Judge Gresham con-
corning the Franco-German situation is
anything but assuring of long continued
peace between those countries. The
condition Of the popular feeling in
France toward their old and latterly vic

conflict could be participated without
difficulty if they only had leader in
whom they could repose confidence. Bou-
LANCER is unquestionably in the ascend
ency in popular sympathy, though he is
not regarded equal to an emergency such
as a clash of arms with Germany would
produce 1t is doubtful whether France
will ever be physically able to cope with
Germany successfully: it would certain
ly.be the height of folly for her to under
take it now.

The Democratic papers are filed and

larations of what great things that party
are going to do if Cleveland is elected.
All this is like feeding horse sawdust

dies before the promised hay time.
Why don't the Democratic party. under
Cleveland, give us a foretaste of the
good things promised, and give them

universal answer to all such talk ought
to be the Cry of traits" Things have
been going from bad to worse every year

General Harrison's allusion, in his little
speech Wednesday, to the treasury sur
plus presented the question as to the
plans and purposes of the Democratic
party so clearly that it can not be misun-
derstood. He put in the shape of a
query so explicit that it will not admit of
an evasive reply. Said General Harrison,
do our Democratic friends propose to
give the banks the free use of il the
surplus) TIL our bonds mature, or do they
propose to reduce our annual income be-
low our annual expenditures by revis-
ion of the tariff until this surplus is used.
and then revise the tariff again to restore
the equilibrium" And then, in answer
to the query from the standpoint OF the
Republican party, the Democrats having
answered it affirmatively by their acts as
well as declarations. the general briefly
stated ii by saying that lit is not whether
we will purposely raise money TO buy
our bonds at premium-no one would
advise that-but whether viii so use the
surplu. that we have on hand and can
not lawfully pay out in any other way
This is the surplus question stated IN g
nutshell, and anybody can understand 1t.

There are persons, and it is claimed
by them that their numbers are con-
stantly if not rapidly increasing, who
favor and advocate cremation as means
of disposing of the dead. The strongest
argument in favor of that idea or plan
is that of sanitation, its effects on public
health in densely populated commun-
tiles. 1t is claimed that by this means
epidemics may be checked in their raw
ages and the lives of thousands of help
less people thus saved annually. With
out discussing further the merits or de-
merits of the theory, it may become
necessary to adopt it arbitrarily. to a
sufficient extent to test its efficacy, and
in this connection we suggest that if the
expedient is ever to be tested, the situa-
ton at jacksonville, Fla, certainly pre-
sents abundant occasion for its employ
ment. We cannot say we accept the
the plan, to be adopted universally, but
if it can be employed to public benefit to
in emergenc les there are abundant pre-
cedents to support such action.

Chairman Galloway, of the Democratic
state central committee, is engaged in 4
new scheme to corral little cheap polit
ical capital He has sent out circular
to postmasters and chairmen of county
committees asking that they procure the
number and amount of mortgages re
corded in each county and town upon
farm and city property, together with
the number and names of each eastern
corporation holding such mortgages. He
promises that if the information is
promptly furnished he Twill shake the
g. o. p. out of its boots in this state. !"
The doughty chairman is giving deal
of unnecessary trouble to procure the
desired data. If he were to apply at the
office of secretary of state, or state board
of agriculture in his own city he could
get the desired information automatically
and not at haphazard. He should have
it by all means. And when he gets it he
will find that the amount so covered in
this state is something like forty mil
lion dollars less than in our nearest
neighbor to the east, Democratic Missouri.

quotations We're right there before your
eyes, referring not to vows taken at or
dination at all, but taken on entering
that peculiar body of ministers known as
travelling preachers" from amongst
whom pastors are selected, in the regu-
lar work of the church.
And these are vows taken under cir
cumstances of the greatest possible
solemnity. An oath administered by
any court of law could not be more so.
These vows are taken latter solemn fast
ing and prayer" Solemn mockery, if
afterward they are to be trlfied with.
Then they are specific In their nature
and meaning. as every one knows who
takes them, binding the preacher taking
them to lay aside all secularities, all
other work but the work of God las a
travelling preacher, binding him to en-
ploy all his time In this one work of
Cod in preparatory study, In pastoral
visiting and looking after the spiritual
interests of those under his care. These
vows bind him TO do these things. and
these alone, so long as he continues IL
the regular effective pastoral work. L
challenge you to deny any one Of these
statements.
Further, / affirm that the man who
enters into any other pursuits gives his
time. his energies to any other work ex-
cept TO supply himself and family with
such thsngs as they must have TO enable
him to do his work as pastor violates
these most solemn vows. And the pastor

CALIFORNIA PRUNEs.

The out-turn this year we estimate
at 1850, 900 pounds. This was the
"off" year for prunes and the crop
was some less than last year, though
in sire the fruit gent rally ran larger
and better and has brought greatly
enhanced prices, so the deficiency in
quality has to q considerable extent
been recouped by the increased value
We write on the California prune in
dustry with az much pleasure as we
do on raisins, for both are in the front
rank Of great California indus
tries. The California prune is
not really in competition with
the imported French prune, because
Il is . better fruit, of better flavor and
'of better keeping qualities. The
far western trade discovered
this fact some time since, with
the result that our prunes have
not only largely supplanted the inn
ported prunes in the great western
markets, but for the past two years
they have actually sold on the average
& from one to three cents a pound
above the French prune. Tho Cali

from Z to ~ cents per pound from the
fresh fruit, showing splendid profit,
and when packed prices have ruled
