On these two planks the democratic party
Of the whole country, North, South, East
and West will stand, and will conquer, for
truth must prevail in the end. The demo
cratic party is for the greatest good to the
greatest number; for equal privileges to all
and special favors to none. The republican
party, on the contrary, by supporting the
protective tariff, shows that it Is for the
greatest good to few at the expense of the
MANY, and for special favors to the rich
owners of northern mines and factories, while
taxing the poor people of the country for the
necessaries of life.

Most ALL the South American countries
have now appointed commissioners to attend
the commercial congress to assemble IN
Washington next October. The fact that
they have done so seems absurd, In view OF
the other fact. that while the object OF the
congress is to increase the exports of the
produc,s of the United States to the coun-
tries OF South America. the existing tariff OF
this country effectually prevents the &C
complishment OF that object, not only by
compelling orders for the products OF this
country to be paid for with scarce gold in.
stead of with South American products, but
by making the price of the manufactures OF
this country SO high, by the duty on raw
material, that .imilar products can De
bought 10 Europe at much cheaper ratea.
1t is impossible for the object of the congress
TO be attained as long as the existing tarih
shall be operative, and bounties to chips en-
ssged in South American trade will be jest
so much money thrown away while tne
present tariff shall continue.

The Method OF Manl.n....

Francis Murphy, of Pittsburg, is
one of the greatest of temperance
apostles of our day From recent
address we quote this passage. 1T is
time for the church Of God To pause
and cease running to the Legislature
to save them from their sins. Acts of
the Legislature, like Moses, always
die within sight of the promised land.
This is an age of reason, Of thought, of
education. A man who does not drink
liquor because he cannot get it does
not deserve any praise. A man who
does not steal because he has no OPP
portunity deserves no praise as an
honest man. Every brave man who
has stood up under the sky has been
developed ia the face of great temp
tation.' 1t is singular indeed that
there should be persons Of intelii-
gence who suppose that temperance
is the restraint of law, not self
control.

A Boys Perilous Aerial Voyage

At Portland (Oregon) ON tie Stl,
very exciting and thrilling incident
occurred. Prof. F. IL. Redmond,
@ronaut, was to make an ascension in
hot air balloon. Just as the large
air ship sailed away skyward, a lad 12
years old, named Eddie Hall, became
entangled in the ropes attacked to the
trapeze. His neck was caught in
half moose and the boy could not pos
sible extricate himself He cluEg to
the ropes with both hands desperately,
and by wrapping them around his
arms managed to save himself from
dropping and from choking to death.
The balloon rose 900 feet and drifted
several miles away to the southeast.
The air ship was ten minutes in the
air. 1t came down light as feather,
and the lad came down without
scratch. The boy was frightened
nearly to death. but soon recovered
after finding himself on the earth
again. Prof. Redmond did not go
up at all, for if he had his weight
would have choked the boy to death.
When saw the boy was caught he let
go the ropes and jumped To the ground
telling the boy to "hold on Tue as
cension was witnessed by 5000 people,
aud the greatest excitement prevailed
while the balloon was in the air.

The question of jurisdiction in this
case, now being argued in the United
States Circuit Court in San francisco,
possesses a deeper import than most
people realize at the present time.
The assumption of United States au-
thority in the case is unprecedented,
and the people are patiently waiting
TO know to what extent the laws of
the United States uphold this claim.
The bearing of the question affects
every State in the Union and prob
ably no question has been before the
Courts for years upon which the eyes
of the legal fraternity, and the peo-
pie generally, are more anxiously bent
than shis. The line Of demarkation
between the right of the State and the
right of the United States has hereto
fore been pretty well defined, but the
Maggie case has caused much uncer
tainty in the minds of men as to the
scope of the authority of the Federal
Courts, whose growing tendency since
the war has been toward encroach-
ment on the States rights.
