This young man, who wasted q greater

an extensivs wardrobe. Hs had q de-

should not pass. BY the same token, Lady,

Charmion turned and looked at me care
lessly. SAY, remember" she said; s'and
SO he hath-at least the Queen would see
his tricks; but if he can do none better
than cause sot''-here she cast glance of
scorn at the wondering Paulus-''to follow

Sir Magician; and for thee, Brennus, I say
keep thy riotous crew more quiet. For thee,
most honorable Paulus, get thee sober, and

queenly nod of her small head she turned
and led the way, followed at q distance by
myself and the armed slave.
We passed up the marble walk which
runs through the garden grounds, and is
set on either side with marble statues, for
the most part Of heather Gods and God
desses, wherewith these Lagide were not
ashamed to defile their royal wellings. At
length we came to portico with fluted col
umns very beautiful to see, but Of Grecian
style of art, where we found more guards,
who made way for the Lady Charmion.
Crossing the portico, we reached an outer
marble hall wherein q fountain softly
FLASHED, and thence by low doorway a
second chamber, known as the Alabaster
Hall, most beautiful to see. Its roof was
upheld by light columns of black marble,
but all its walls were paneled with ala
baster, whereon were craven Grecian le-
gends. Its floor was Of rich and many-hued
mosaic that told the tale Of the passion of
Psyche for the Grecian God Of Love- and
about it were set chairs Of ivory and gold.
At the doorway of this chamber Charmion
babe the armed slave stay, 30 that we
passed in alone, for the place was empty
save for two eunucbs who stood with
drawn swords before the curtains at the
further end.

A eOGUS APPLICATION.
How the Democrats OF Illinois Hope to
Humbug the People.

How tho Democrats OF Illinois Hope to
Humbug the People.
There is to be in the near future a
"tariff-reform" convention, or mass
meeting, or gathering of some kind, at
Bloomington, in this State. Tariff re-
form" is the only phrase in the English
language that has two or three syno-
nyms. 1t means the same as mugwump,
or Dem ocrat or free trade. But these
words aid phrases all mean one thing.
Tariff reform" is Democracy. 1t is
used as snare for the unwary and a
disguise to impose upon the short-sight-
ed. When you see ''tariff-reform" meet
ing announced, understand that it is to
be Democratic meeting.
That is to be the case with the Bloom
ington gathering. Tho old Democratic
wheel-horses and leaders will be there.
1t will be the opening of the Democratic
campaign Of 1890 in Illinois, as the con-
vention Of Republican clubs at Sprins +
field, on the 25th ult, was the open
ing Of the Republican campaign. 1t is
to DO ''starter" for John NJ. Palmer
in his race for the United States Sena-
torship. 1t is to be partisan and per-
sonal affair to rally the Democratic par
ty and to put the Democratic leaders in
the saddle. Calling it ''tariff-reform"
csuvention is fraud and a false pre-
tsnse.
During the late civil war it was the
habit of the rebels, and especially of
rebel spies and guerrillas, to wear the
a Of nj ~
or of the Union dead whom they had
stripped on the battle-fie In this dis
guise they were sometimes able to PEN
citrate the Union lines and to surprise
and kill or capture detachments of the
Union forces. The Democrats practice
the same strategy in political warfare.
They have become of late years little
more daring and exercise more than
their previous bravado in calling them
selves by their proper name in localities
where they have popular majorities.
But when they want to begin a polit-
ical movement in such Republican
State as Illinois, they begin it with false
pretenSes and under a mask. Intend
ing to hold an old-fashioned Democratic
pow-wow-a demonstration in which the
indurated and hide-bound Democrats Of
forty years will participate, and to which
they will give character and signifi-
canoe, it is to be called ''tariff-reform"
meeting. The announcement and call
are an imposition, fraud, deception,
are bogus and counterfeit.
The Republican party is the true
tariff-reform party, and the true party
of reform in all things pertaining to the
Government and the Administration.
The Republican Congress will reform,
amend and equalize the tariff laws so as
to better adjust their benefits and bur-
dens, and to make them what they
should be-the bulwark and defense of
American labor and enterprise. The
Democrats can not and will not do this
work. The Republicans can and will do
it-Chicag0 Journal
