NO LONGER A MUGWUMP.

Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
The Democrats are congratulating
themselves on the formal entry into
their ranks of President Eliot, of Har-
ward College. As scholarly and repu-
table gentleman he will add somewhat
to the character of the party, but he will
carry no weight with him in political
sense. He has long been a Mugwump,
an ardent free trader, and has been prac-
tically out of the Republican party for
years. In openly identifying himself
with the Democratic party he gives some
rather remarkable reasons for his course,
He renounces as absurd and illogical the
attitude of the Independent voters, with
whom he has recently been in affiliatiOn.
He says that "a conscientious citizen
should choose between the two great
parties of the country, and should ha-
bitually act with that one which best
promotes the principles which he holds"
This is a severe thrust at the Mugwumps
and "third- party men generally.
The main reason why this distin-
guished teacher joined the Democratic
party is because he "had come to believe
that the protectionist principle is false
and dalusive," and that "the tariff pro-
tects capital but not labor" President
Eliot is frank in avowing his belief in
free trade, but he falls far short of de-
claring the whole truth in regard to the
effects which would follow a strictly rev.
enue tariff. 1t would reduce the price
of commodities, no doubt, but it would
inevitably and ruinously reduce wages
at the same time. This is fact the
free-trad does not care to avow, and
workingmen are seldom, if ever, told by
the revenue-reformer that they must ex-
pect lower wages under the era of free
trade.
Still another reason assigned by Pres
ident Eliot for his becoming a full
fiedged Democrat is his supreme admira-
ton for the civil-service reform record
and policy of the last Democratic Ad-
ministrationI And lastly, with true
Democratic instinct, President Eliot ar
rays himself against the pension policy
of the Republican party He speaks of
pensioners as possible "cowardly desert
ers;" as having based their pensions on
"chronic catarrh instead of honorable
wounds" and as "perjured paupers" who
have 'foisted themselves on the public
treasury" With the reasons for his go
ing clearly in mind, Republicans will
have no regrets for his departure, how
ever Democrats may rejoice in his ac-
cession to their ranks. There is some
satisfaction at least in the thought that
the President of Harvard is no longer a
Mugwump.

COMMON SENSE.

Columbus Dispatch
After all, taking life at its best and its
worst, there is no gift the gods bestow
on man that is of such value to him as
common sense. 1t is the great balance
wheel of his makeup, and without it he
speedily dissipates and seatters his ener-
gies and accomplishes nothing. Some
of the most colossal failures on record
have been those of men of genius who
lacked common sense.
And in what way, is it asked, can
common sense save men from breaking
down? The simplest way in the world.
1t keeps them from OVERRIDING. 1t tells
them when they should begin to work
and when they need sleep, and makes
them take it. 1t checks them when they
are going too fast, and brings them
down when they are flying too high 1t
cools them when they are too hot, and
quiets them when they are too excited.
Nay, more. 1t teaches them that life
is not only liveable but worth living even
without great wealth, and that a man
Odu OC anu OC OoC1u u1N-
ing his name on every tongue. 1t
teaches that fame and riches are desira-
BILE in their way, but they are not worth
the risk of sanity and of health in an ef-
fort to obtain them. There have been
noble men and women, true men and
women, useful men and women who
were welded to poverty all their lives
long and whose names were unknown to
fame.
Let our boys and girls be taught that
it is greater to be good than to be famous,
better to be honest than to be rich, and
grander to be useful than to be motor
ious. "Give me health and day. said
Emerson, "and will make the pomp of
emperors ridiculous" This does not ex-
press the vagary of dreamer, but right
estimate of what is true happiness and
greatness. And yet how often do mis-
guided persons turn each of these gifts
to the destruction of the other, thereby
losing both, and often gaining nothing
whatever but misery and despair in re-
turn.

the following named cities: Cincinnati,
Cleveland, Toledo, Columbus, Dayton,
Springfield, Hamilton, Sandusky, Steu-

Akron. The days for the general regis
tration of electors are Thursday in the
fourth week, Thursday in the third week.
Friday and Saturday in the second week,
next before the November election. This
is an indispensable voting qualification
in those cities, and is designed to pre-
vent fraudulent voting, repeating, etc. IL
is this law that the Democratic candi-
date declaims so bitterly against on the
stump, and which the Democratic press
denounces as an intermeddling with

Free Trade Means Hnrd Times.

lT goes without dispute that the peo-
pie of the United States-farmers,
mechanics, laborers, and other workers
are vastly better off than those i'm

consequently are the best customers i'm
the world. This is why they are So

wish to sell, and to aid them in getting
the desired hold upon our trade is the
aim of free traders now working under
the guise of tariff reform
There would be very few workers for
free trade if it was not expected there
10y TO increase the sale of foreign pro-
duets in this country; hence the lively
interest of foreign manufacturers, and
the importers and distributors of for
eign products. Before consenting to
let them have their way voters will do
well to carefully count the cost of such
concession. In the first place, we
have no more work than will keep our
own people occupied after allowing
them time for necessary recreation In
creased use of goods and wares made i'm
other countries will necessarily dimin-
ish purchases of similar articles made
in this country, and to that extent de-
prive some of our people of their pres
ent employment. No new business
seems likely to open to engage those
thus crowded out of enterprises now
established, leaving out of the account
the other thousands crowding for EN-.
ployment as the result of our steadily
augmenting population, as legislation

terprises will tend to discourage at
