THE American Wool Reporter
publishes list OF 81 foreclosures
of farm mortgages in Clark Co.
Kansas. They are mainly in favor
of Eastern capitalists and loan
companies. The Republican farm.
ers of Clark County, Kansas, voted
for continued protection" in Nov
ember, and our sympathy for them
is tempered by IA knowledge that
they are largely responsible for
their own financial discontinue.
When they learn to vote for their
own interests, then it will go out
to them wholly unobserved. AT
the same time we are sorry both
for their political and monetary
shortcomings.

KeeDing lid the Fight.

The members of the American
Tariff Reform League, of Chicago
are not discouraged by the No.
vember election. Where there
was thorough and earnest discus
sion the PrOtectionists lost ground.
With the idea that the most effec-
tive work can be done for oTariff
Reform at times when the public
mind is unprejudiced by political
considerations, the League proposes
to enter at once upon an educa-
tionnl campaign, with view Of
reaching the farmers as well as
the townsmen. To this end it has
heen proposed to call Il conven-
ton Of Tariff Reformers, at a date
to be hereafter fixed upon, for the
purpose eff effecting more com
pIete working organization. Per-
sons in sympathy with the objects
of the Tariff Reform League are
asked to
% Forward names of any club
in " ur locality favorable to Tariff
Reform; also names of officers of
same.
(2) Forward names of prominent
gentleman who will attend the
Convention as delegates, or aid
the committee in securing full rep
resentation, with address and occu-
patton of each.
(N Forward us imme diately your
opinion rs to the advisability of
such a Convention, and
what are the prospects of attend
ance from your vicinity.
The address of the American
Tariff Reform League is No. lis,

and does legalize such associations
The law may be found in O. l.
Vol. 81 PIP. 169-70, and authorize:
the incorporation of companies
composed Of not less than fifteen
persons for the purpose of "appre.
hending and convicting horse
thieves and other felops."
Under the celestial (?) inspira.
tion OF the Legislature such an as.
sociation may adopt their own
constitution and bylaws and the
presiding officer may administer
all necessary oaths to officers and
members.
Such association is given power,
through its officers and agents to
"pursue and arrest, without war;
rant, any person or persons whom
they believe or have reasonable
cause to believe guilty of Il felony"
Let our readers study the whole
act, and then ask themselves if the
condition Of the great State of Ohio
that has just finished it's first cer-
tury, with all it's courts organized
and open, with a Justice of the
Peace and a Constable in every
neighborhood, has need of such ex-
ira judicial combinations. The
most obtuse can comprehend how
very easy the transition from the
acts authorized by the law to those
prepetrated by those organizations.
The law is an unanswerable proof
Of the imbeciltiy and dark stain
on the fair name and fame of the
State. Let it be repealed at once,
and put an end to legalized Klu
in Ohio.

A Natural Result.

The Tribune of yesterday had
this interesting special despatch
from Columbus, o.
The coal operators in the Hook
ing, Sunday Creek and Shawnee
Valleys to-day formed pool to re-
gulate the output and selling price
of coal for the coming year. Pro-
positions have been made to buy
out small operators in the district
who refused to join the combina-
ton, by offering them large sums
to suspend operations for the year.
The territory included in the "com-
bine" produces about 100000 tons
of coal annually, or two-thirds of
the output of the State. Each
member of the pool gets a percent
age of the profits, and no one is al
lowed to sell his coal below the es-
tablished figures"
This is a natural result Of the
high tariff policy and of the elec-
tion that sustained it. Soft coal of
the kind mined in the West Is sub
ject of rs cents per ton-enough to
prevent the Nova Scotia field from
competing for the privilege Of sup
plying our people with cheap coal.
With this duty apparently secure
for fonr years more the Ohio mines
lin which Mr.. Blaine has, or did
have, % considerable interest
to "regulste the output
and force up prices at the begin.

NOTHING meaner has occurred
in politics lately than the efforts of
the Democratic press to blacken
the name of John Wannamaker
now that he is mentioned for a
cabinet position. Mr.. Wannamak
er is known the country over as u
philanthropic christian gentleman
and a representative American bu-
siness man. The country at large
would recognize his nomination to
cabinet position as a step in the
interest of honest government
[ Athens Herald.
Suppose he is, that is not the
reason urged for giving him Il cab
met position, but because he was II
large contributor to the Harrison
campaign fund. If cabinet posi-
ti0ns are to- be purchased, why talk
Of business, christianity and phi
lanthropy.

The Veteran Legislator.

On Saturday last the Rt. Hon
VIM +. Gladstone celebrated the
70 anniversary of his birth. Al
though arrived at an age when the
great majority of men seek the
ease of retirement, he is still bat
tling vigorously for what he be-
lieves to be the cause of truth and
justice, of civil and religious liberty.
Having long passed the allotted
span of life, it cannot be reasonably
expected that many more years of
labor or life remain for the grand
old man, but in common with his
numerous admirers we hope to see
him live until the cause for which
he fights is triumphant, and the
Irish people are releas ed from the
thralldone of their oppressors.

FOR full measure and running
over, fine example may be found
in Demorest's Monthly Magazine
for January, which has just arriv-
ed. The water-color, "The Birth
of the New Year." is beautifully
executed, and forms a valuable adj
dition to the series which is prom
ised to run during the year. The
second of the superbiy Illustrated
New York City articles is even
more attractive than the first, and
one of the great advantages of
these articles is that each is com
plete in itself. If you want to
known all about the great metro
polls, you should buy "Demoests"
and visit the city through its pages.

Ghe Sun
For 1889 and for the Democracy.

The Sun believes that the camp
paign for the election of Demo
cratic Congress in 1890 and Dem
ocratic President in 1892 should be
gin on or about the fourth of mex
March. The Sun will be on hanC
Il the beginning and until the enc
Of the most interesting and impor'
tant political conflict since the
war, doing its honest utmost, as
ever, to secure the triumph of the
Democratic party and the perm"n-
ent supremacy of the principles
held by Jefferson, Jackson and
Tilden.
The great fact of the year is the
return to absolute power of the
common enemy of all good Demo-
crats-the policical organization
for whose overthrow the Sun
fought at the front for fifteen years
the memorable years of Grant and
the Fraud Hayes, and Garfield and
Arthur.
1t is the same old enemy that
Democrats now confront, and he
will be intrenched in the same
strong position. 1t has been car
ried once by brave and hopeful
fighting. Do you not believe with
the Sun that the thing can be done
again? Wait and see!
The hope of the Democracy is in
the loyal efforts of the united press
cherishing no memories of past
differences in non-essentials, for
getting everything but the lessons
of experience, and that victory is II
duty.

THE Boston Herald insists that
the present method of deciding
Congressional contests should be
reformed by taking them out of
the hands of prejudiced tribunal
and submitting them to one that is
Unprejudiced. 1t is unquestionabIy
true that under the present sys-
tenn, politics rather than the votes
cast or the merits of the case, often
decides the title to a contested seat
in Congress; and it is equally true
that any change that would secure
a settlement OF these cases strictly
on their merits would be i'm the in
terest Of the whole country. 1t is
of course useless to now urge this
policy on the Republicans, who
have an apparent majority in the
next Congress, yet u plan should
be matared and adopted by the
patriots Of both parties, providing
a method whereby future con tests
may be decided on their merits,
and by tribunal that can not be
directly benefited by It's own deci-

was astonishing how much the old husband
and the young one had bean alike in their
disposition and character-at least both saw
a distinct resemblance in every point
Which shows that matrimony does not
really change man, nor age either-when
he is dead. But they had most delightful
time until the young one, putting her arms
around the old ones neck, sobbed through
her tears:
81 know it is selfish of me to say SO much
about my own sorrow. But really do feel
that it is SO much worse for you than for
me. don't know how l would have felt

one does not speak as she passes by.-iSGn

Oh the holiday joys of the girls and boys
Who are "home to night" at last.
Oh the ringing beat of the springing feet
AS into the hall they rush,
Oh the tender bliss of the first home kiss,
With its moment of fervent hush.
So much to tell and hear as WE'LL
AS they gather round the glow!
Who would not part for the joy of heart
That only the parted can know
At home tonight.
But all have not met, there are travellers yet
Speeding along through the dark,
By tunnel and bridge. past river and ridge,
To the distant yet IL caring mark.
But the hearts are warm, for the winter storm
Has never a chill fer love;
And faces are bright q The fiickering light
Ofthe small. dim lamp above,
And voices of gladness rise DER the madness
or the whirl and the rush and the rosr.

Are entering now TO ''go out no more"
For the work is done and the rest begun,
And the training time is forever past,
And the home OF rest in the mansion blest
Is safely, joyously reached at last.
Oh the love and light in that home tonight
Oh the songs of bliss and the harps of gold
Oh the glory shed o the new.crowned head
Oh the telling oflove that can never be told -

Poor girl, poor girl, so young, SO fair,
Aud doomed to die so soon
The seeds of death are scatterd there,
And long before LIES noon
The grass will grow upon her grave:
So friends in sorrow say,
And think no power on earth can save
The dear one from decay.
Why do they think and talk like this
Simply because some of her family have
died from scrofulous poisoning of the blood,
and they see indications of the same taint
in her. Scrofula of the lungs, commonly
called consumption, is a terrible disease,
and it is not to be wondered at that they
dread it. But it can be conquered. The
poison can be driven out of the blood. Tbs
faint can be eliminated from the system.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has
cured thousands of persons who were ex-
rected to find early graves because "there
was scrofula in the family" "Golden
Medical Discovery" is warranted to remove
all.blood- -taints from whatver cause arising.
1t cures all scrofulous, skin and scalp dis
eases, or money paid for it will be refund
