Rev. DIR. NEWMAN, of New Haven,
Conn.,, In preaching his centennial
sermon Sunday night last, said:
1.-The spoils system which our fathers
did not anticipate has become the
golden calf of our nation, and the wOr-
ship of it our political spostacy. Per-
ish the party, perish the president.
perish the senate that will use the
spoils system. The question of civil
service must be put above party and
must become one of the established
features of American government"

READERS, have you noticed that the
state which is the greatest stronghold
Of so-called protection" Pennsyl-
vania, has been torn up with strikes
and lock-outs, since the protection
victory Of last fall, more than any other
state? Have you heard the cries for
help that come from the starving labor
ersp And does not the present state of
affairs in that state most emphatically
give the lie to the claim that q high
protective tariff benefits the laborerf
The rich man has no complaint to
make. The price of hard coal remains
the same; the price Of manufactured
iron remains the same; capital has lost
nothing by the so-called over production
which is given as an excuse for closing
mills and mines and reducing wages.
How in the name of humanity can men
Of sound minds make out that protec-
ton protect the massesP

MARY had little lamb, its fleece
was white as snow, it strayed away one
summer day, where lambs should never
60. Then Mary sat her down and tears
streamed from her pretty eyes, she
never found the lamb because she never
advertised. And Mary had a brother
John, who kept a village store, and he
sat down and smoked a pipe and
watched the open door. And all the
people passed along, but did not stop
to buy, John still sat down and smoked
his pipe and blinked his weary eye.
And so the sheriff closed him out, but
still he fingered near; and Mary came
erstwhile to drop sympathetic tear.
"How is it, sister, that those other mer-
chants here, sell all the goods and pay
the billsand thrive from yearto year?''
Remembering now her own bad luck
tn elittle maid replies:' Those other
fellows get there, John, because they
advertise.''
