COURAGE LED TO VICTORY.

Grand Lesson Taught by the Ohio and
Iowa Elections.
In the Ohio campaign Hon. James E..
Campbell did not shrink from the main
tenance of the principles of the platform
upon which he was nominated, which
declared in unmistakable terms for tar
if reform. He boldly defended the Mills
bill which put wool on the free list,
thus defying Columbus Delano and the
Wool-Growers' Association on their
chosen ground. He showed the farmers
of Ohio that cheap woolens would save
them more money than the tariff on
wool could possibly put into their pock-
cts. The result was that Campbell won.
For years before, with hating, tenn
PORTING policy, the Democrats were
showed under.
In Iowa, where the Republicans have
had undisputed sway for more than thir-
ty years, Hon. Horace Boies, the Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor, took de-
cided stand for tariff reform, and
told his audiences how greatly their
prosperity was retarded by the opera
ton of our unequal laws. He had the
courage of his convictions, and he
pleaded manfully for policy calculated
to give the Iowa farmers better chance
in the struggle for prosperity. The
event justified the confidence which he
reposed in the good sense of the people.
For the first time in a generation Iowa
has elected Democratic Governor.
These examples show how little
foundation there is for the theory of a
few timid Democrats who have an idea
that their party can only succeed by get
ting upon the Republican platform.
There is no need of two Republican par
ties in this country; one is more than
enough. The Democracy entertain no
opinion of which they should be ashamed.
The path of success, which is also the
path of honor, will be found in bold
avowal and a manly defense of their
principles. 1t is courage, and not pusil-
lanimity, which wins victories.-Louis.

The Democrats of the country
must congratulate the great State of
Ohio upon her emancipation from the
odious thralldom of the tariff brigands
and monopolists.-Chi Globe.
Our present tariff is barrier to
exports as we'll as imports. It curtails
the export trade of our farmers and our
manufacturers. The latter it cuts off
from foreign markets by excluding or
taxing their raw materials SO that they
can not compete in foreign markets, al
though they have the most productive
and the cheapest labor in the world

The census statistics show that for
making 500 of wooden goods the manu-

Why should it be necessary to levy a
tax of $6s to pay $50 wages? AS mat
ter OF fact, not cent of the proceeds OF
this enormous bounty is used to pay

that for given amount of work the

SANDY HOOK LloHT-SHiP.



The Weloome Deacon which Greets the
Incoming yoyngsr.
The ticker at the Barge ONCE records:
esOne-twenty-La Rretagne, OF the
Sandy Hook Light ship" At the same
time, the message is repeated In the
Office OF the steamers agents, and
scarcely five minutes elapse when on
the blackboards outside their ofFices n
this legend: ssThe steamer La Bre-
tango, from Havre, passed the Light
ship at 1:2O; will be up to her dock
about $50"
Passers-by scan the board; the cus-
toms authorities get ready to send their
cutter down the bay to meet the
steamer. Persons having friends on
board and who have made arrange
ments with the telegraph company, re-
ceive copy Of the dispatch and get
ready to meet their friends.
All this is done, and yet but few OF
those who are notified know any thing
about the Sandy Hook lightrship. But
the passengers on the steamer do, and so
does every one who has crossed the
ocean.
It was my good fortune to spend q
short time on the Sandy Hook hght-ship
II
some time ago.
She was built expressly for the service
she is doing, and is strong and stanch-
calculated to weather any sea. She Is
81 feet long and "a feet wide.
The cabin is large and roOmy. On
either side of it are two lockers, which
run its entire length, and in these the
crew keep their clothes and other per-
sonal property. Above the lockers are
six berths. The interior of the cabin is
fitted up neatly, and pictures decorate
the walls. 1
The crew, which consists Of six men,
including the cook, occupy the galley,
and close by is the lamp room, where the
lamps and the oil which is used in them
are kept. Here the lamps are trimmed
and cleaned, preparatory to being run up
as beacons. The lamps have red globes,
and these are fixed in a row between
several oil tanks, while alongside them
are wicks, cotton and other material.
Usually the lights consist of sixteen
| rejecting lamps. Eight Of these are
hoisted each evening at sunset, and form
circles about the two masts. They throw
crimson rays which can be seen for miles.
| This is the welcome signal that land is
near at hand. A lookout is always sta
toned on board, and with the aid of pow
erful glass sights the incoming steamers
| when they are miles away. The steam
er displays her signals, which are read
by him, and he in turn signals the tele-
graph operator, and thus the word
flashes to the city telling just when any
particular steamer viii arrive, while she
Is yet we'll out on the sea.
The life led by the men who make
| the ship their home is indeed a lonely
one. Each crew spends three months on
the ship.
During rough weather-as, for in
stance, during the recent hurricane
the crew hasn't a particularly pleasant
berth. The ship dances about on the
waves and rolls and losses madly in her
endeavor to get loose, but the chains
that hold her fast to the two heavy
anchors are equal to any emergency.

A REMARKABLE WOMAN.

For Forty-Two Years She Successfully
Acted the Part of Man.
The Dundee Weekly News gives the
following interesting account Of the ro-
mantle life of woman arrested by the
Jersey Channel Islands) police: ''On
the arrival of passenger steamer from
ST. Briene the commander informed the
police that a woman attired as a man
was on board. She had, it appeared,
taken passage for st. Briene, but the
captain, having noticed certain pecul-
iarities about the passenger, on reach
ing that port summoned a medical man,
and he declared that the pseudo man
was really a woman. He further certi-
fled that she was suffering from slight
conclusion of the brain, and the French
authorities, in view of her mysterious
conduct, refused to allow her to land.
On the steamer entering the harbor of
St. Heller the woman took a cab and
proceeded to clearinghouse where
she had previously lodged for some
time under the name of Louis Her.
mann. She had every appear
ance of manhood, and from her
easy department it is evil
dent that male attire was
no novelty to her. She wore fur waist
coat, a long overcoat, hat, and a
turned-down collar. She smokes long
pipe or cigar with an air of one accus-
toned to the habit. Left an orphan at
the age of thirteen, she then resolved to
adopt male attire. She has now reached
the age of fifty-five, so that forty-two
years she has been travelling the world,
and has been known as a man. Her
calling has been that of a courier, and
in that capacity she has travelled wide
ly. She has a knowledge of several
continental languages, and is otherwise
we'll informed. The name by which she
was generally known was Louis Her
mann Tobosh, but in some cases she
dropped the last name, and simply
called herself Louis Hermann. During
the last year she had balance of up
ward of $50 pounds to her credit in a
banking firm, but it is not known
whether this has been drawn upon.
When arrested by the Jersey police at
the clearinghouse she had only FL
6 shillings in her possession, and she
is indebted to the host to the extent
of So 10 shillings. A number of papers
found at her lodgings have been taker
possession of by the police.

foundaIlon or constitutional r1gnrs. The
new State will have two Legislatures,
one appointed by the State board, and
the other duly certified to by the county
clerks of the various counties. The
history of the Republican conspiracy in
Montana is one of the foulest in the an
nails of politics. By the use of fraudu-
lent affidavits the conspirators, at the
head of whom is the Presidents SON,
sought to subvert the will of the people.
The court decided in favor of the DEM
ocrats, and the Republican State
Board disregarded the decision Of
the courts and went behind the returns.
There is not particle of justi-
fication on the part of any canvassing
board to reject properly certified returns,
but the Republicans did not hesitate to
do so. The Democratic Governor, about
whose election there is no question, will
only recognize the members of the Leg
islature who bear certificates from the
county clerks, authorized by law to issue
the same. The functions of the Repub-
lican State Board of Canvassers are
purely clerical under the law, but they
have made them judicial.
1t is an unblushing attempt at fraud
on the part of the Republicans, and it
will cost them dear, not only in Mon
tana, but in other States. They are
provoking an uprising of the people in
defense of law and justice that will
sweep them out of official existence.
The most disgraceful feature of the sit
uation is the prominent part taken by
the Presidents son in the outrage, and
ho hn c,,i n q
received from the White House. He has
his heart set upon being United States
Senator from Montana, and has left no
means untried to gain the object of his
ambition. He managed to stock all the
Federal offices in Montana with his per-
sonal friends, and he prevailed on his
father to delay issuing proclamation
declaring the Territory State Of
the Union. The conspiracy can not
succeed. It is so monstrous and in
defensible and is in such plain VIOLA
ton of law that the Indignation of the
people throughout the country will be
too powerful, even for a Republican
Congress to brave. The consequences
| of the fraud of 1876 should have warned
the Republicans against any attempt to
subvert the will of the people. The
| lesson of the recent election should
teach them that they have no strong
| hold they can claim their own against
| any assault when the people rise up in
| their majesty to rebul1e them. Congress
should take early measures to remove
| this disgrace, this prostitution of the
| powers of the Government for the pur-
pose of enabling the Presidents son to
getin the United States Senate through
fraud. There should be searching in
| vestigation of these doings of Russell
| Harrison and his father. There are
many Republican Senators who are
aggrieved against the Administration
and are ready to pay off old scores when
Congress meets. They could not have a
better opportunity than in laying bare
this Montana infamy and the share the
Harrisons have had in it. They will GER
tainly serve their party best by repudi-
ating this outrageous violation of law
and making the Harrisons smart for it.

FRAUD IN MONTANA.

Republican Disregard for Law and Con-
stitutional Requirements.
The Republicans are showing their
customary disregard for law and consti-
tutional requirements in Montana. Ex-
perience and warnings seem to be
thrown away upon them, for they should
know by this time that the wrath of the
people over such gross violation of
law and justice will be like consuming
lightning to the party when next they
are heard from at the polls. The issue
OF illegal certificates for members OF the
Legislature by the Republican State
Board of Canyassers strikes at the very

CHAPTER VII

JohE Harmon was laid in drunkard's
grave, and the tears which were shed were
more for the "might have been " and for
the wasted life so suddenly brought to a
close than for sorrow that he had gone.
Indeed, brighter atmosphere was even
now pervading the house, as the fact be-
came more tangible that no more blows or
curses were to be dealt out there, and the
children began to look brighter. and lose
their cowed, scared look, and all planned
and looked forward to the future, as if a
great black cloud had rolled off their hori-
zon, as iadeed there had. Alas! that al
man should so conduct himself that the
best and kindest thing he can do for his
family is to die and free them from his
presence.
The children had gone to bed. and Isabel
and her aunt were alone in the shabby little
room which was dignified by the name of
parlor. Snow, auntie, tell me all your
plans" she said, taking the wrinkled, hard
working hand of her aunt in hers.

Mrs Harmon. 'sThis has come so sudden
like it seems as If I'd had no time for any
definite plans. shall go along in the same
old way probably, working hard and having
little" She had been unusually Respondent
this evening, and life had hard, far-away
look to her.
"Are there any debts to pay" and Isa-
bells voice had q reassuring business ring.

into caskets in this city. The mode of
manufacture is as follows: A galvanized
woven wire frame is ormed over a core,
and the composition cement is then run
into the mould, leaving the wire in the
center of the walls, which gives the
strength and symmetry, without the IN
wieldiness Of the ancient Egyptian re-
ceptacle. A groove is cast in the upper
edge or body OF the cssket,
for the sealing of the top to

of rubber tube, making it absolutely
