The government machine at Wash ington seems to he run on strictly partizan principles, and party fcalty, not fitness, is the test for office. Never before in the history of this country has there been such a wild greed and rush after office; and nearly all the time of the President is consumed in passing upon the claims of the various applicants for official position.

Letter of Advice From a Convict.

Thieves and all classes of crooks please remember that 1 am serving a ten years sentence in the Arkansas penitentiary for horse stealing. Please remember 1 squandered my own life for the sake of one horse, which was not worth stealing. Could I only call back, would l ever be guilty of committing another theft.
 Young men, you should let my case be warning to you
 Crooks, when you read this, do not think you are too shrewd to evade capture and conviction, for such is false; about the time you think you are professional you will be landed in some penitcntiary, in trouble and disgrace the remainder of your days. Oh, then could you only call back the day you first de parted from the path of rectitude you would do so.
 All crooks and men deserving to be crooks, I will refer you to all the penitentiaries in the United States and they are full. l will ask you to abandon dishonest principles and live honest lives. Oh think of sweet liberty which is worth more than all the ill-gotten gains that you risk your lives to gain. Young men who are at liberty, with the privilege of going into frst-class society, should be at all times happy. You may be in limited circumstances, if such is the case, never think of stealing
 o God. Could l only call back, 1 would be the happiest boy on earth. Though it is too late to weep, it breaks my heart to think that l allowed myself to be led astray by associating with bad company.
 No man knows what trouble and hardships are until he gets in the penitentiary.
 This is a miserable day to me, as it is Sunday and l can hear the church bells ringing, and see the people going to and from church and 1 can not have any hope of ever having this liberty again. 0 think how hard this thought must be. o could only get extricated from this, one of the hardest struggles of life, my future life would be one of brightness compared to the past. l have managed to live here three years, and as my health is fast fail ing, I can have no hopes of living seven more.
 Please remember my fate and always guard agalnst all evil. Re member that there is no excuse for dishonesty, and but very few people are willing to forgive a man stealing, though God forgives the worst of sinners. l must say that God has forgiven me for my mis-step Tn life. As preaching begins now, by fel- low convict, I will close by asking all persons to remember that ''hon- esty is the best policy"
 remain the citizens humble servant, F.. B. BEATY.

The most colossal scheme of legalizcd robbery of the ages is the Protective Tariff. The average duty imposed is 47 per cent. and it costs the average family one hundred and forty dollars per year. Its cost to the country at large, including the revenues paid the government, is not less than one thousand millions of dollars.

WATCHMAN, WHAT OF THE
 NIGHT

am no alarmist. and have always been inclined to look on the bright side of things, but when the dark side is so continually and consistently thrust into ones face as it has been of late years, It becomes our duty to look it squarely in the face and learn the worst that Is impending. The war between the North and the South resulted in the freedom of the ne groes and the more permanent establishment of the Federal Union; but when we take our bearings as q nation, and investigate the present actual condition of affairs, what are the stubborn facts which present themselves to our consideration? :? The enslavement and impoverish- ment of the many by the few, the alarming frequency of strikes and riots, the steady increase of crime and paupcrism, the rapid accumula- ton of colossal fortunes, and the steady increase of tramps and an archists, and widespread corruption, fraud and bribery in high places and low places, constitute some of the ,l, Nf tln eft n a yhIph charity can not ignore and logic can not resist.
 In the meantime, the expenses of the government have reached the enormous sum of nearly 300 millions of dollars in time of pro- found peace, and the vast public debt, created by the war, instead of being steadily reduced in volume, as heretofore, has turned the other way and is now increasing in bulk at the rate of one and half millions per month. Vast combinations or trusts have been formed, backed by untold millions, embracing almost all the neccssaries of life and many of its l luXuries, the object and effect of which Is to force up prices by throt- ting competitor and pools, monopo- lies and vast corporations are stalking to the front with giant tread, and threatening to engulph our liberties in the Dead Sea of plutOcracy. In view of this fearful and alarming state of affairs, the question may we'll be asked, INV Watchman, what of the night 7" The only reply which proper interpretation of these facts can give is, that the times are omi- nous of danger--that terrible rcvO- lution only can be averted by the overthrow of the money changers, radical reform of our financial sNs- tenn, and the puritication of our gov ernment in it's officials, methods and expenditures.
 The ballot-box, if properly guard ed and purified, can accomplish all these results without shedding a drop of blood; and to that mighty agency we appeal for the redress of these greivous wrongs by which our coun- try is oppressed and impoverished. Unless this agency is invoked speed i ily, it will be too late, for already the fell spirit of plutocracy and money greed has invaded the sane tuarlcs of the temple of liberty, and soon nothing short of revolution will dislodge and expel them from its sacred precincts. The Protective Tariff, maintained in time of pro- found peace upon war basis, is the chief factor in the widespread distress and destitution among the laboring classes; and it's speedy re- duction to strictly revenue basis is imperatively demanded by every con sidcration of interest and safety.

CORRUPTION IN TURKEY.
Acts Of Depreciation Committed by Iruste,
DuisiaI. pI the SuItau.

oUl'iaIS bI the Nulihb.
Not long ago n certain Pasha Of ex-
allied position borrowed n sum Of
money from Frcnchman, and when
the time for repayment came he was
unable 10 raise the required amount.
"But," said he. iii can not give YOU
money, for have none, can at least
give you lucrative post namely, tho
repairing Of the tOmbs Of the Sultans,
which are in bad state, and you can
remove those old tiles, which people
care for and replace them by modern
ones made in France" Needless TO
say. this post was willingly accepted.
and ON setting TO work the delighted
Frcnchman discovered, in vault be-
meath one Of the tombs, n whole heap
Of ancient tiles which provident Turks
of "A bygonc age had put there with "a
Wow To restoration, but Of the eX-
istcnco of which the Turks Of this
generation wcro ignorant Endless
cases Of valuable tiles wore thus col
lcctcd and dispatched to France. and
when IL was found absolutely ncccs-
sary to make restoratiOns, cheap new
tiles made in France were put up, and
thus did the French creditor make
over and over again the sum Of money
he had advanced To the Pasha. The re-
currcncc Of such an act OF depreciation
is practically impossible under llamid's
strict supervision. A clever imam, how
,cvcr, contrived To outwit the police
l. l.. fol
lowing way. He was priest (iman) Of
mosque some little way up the Gold
on Horn, which was very much out Of
repair. This fact he represented at
headquarters and obtained an order
from the CrkdJ for the repairing of IT,
The first thing he did was To have the
whole of the interior whitcwashcd
over, tiles and all. and, when all the
rcstorations were completed to his sat-
isfaction. he sent for the ovcrsccr,
whose duty il was To make an invcn-
tory of every thing in and about the
mosque. This was accordingly done.
and the mssquc was registered as con
tanning no tiles. The cunning imam
then kept quiet for about six months,
until he considered it safe To remove
by night the tiles from the walls and
whitcwash the vacant spaces over
again. With these treasures he hur-
ricd to the shop of some friendly am
tiquity dealer in the bazaars and made
his bargain. Such small acts of dep
relation are Of frequent occurrence
still, and even the astutcst director of
II museum can not contend with them.
