TIE insanity, inanty and assinini-
ty, that declares the census bureau
has arranged to take the names of
republicans and leave those of dem
Ocrats, that democratic representa-
ton in congress might be cut down,
has reached its ultima thule The
force of insane belief could 40 farther
go. The Galveston Tribune takes
up this charge, and after advancing
its suspicious without any shadow
of proof save the natural enmity of
the democratic mind, declares that
the difference in compensation for
soldiers enrolment and enrolment
of other citizens is proof that the
government was using undue in
fluence to raise the mum bers of union
soldiers beyond just limits in order
to justify the pension expenditures.
The News knows that the census
enumeratOrs are required to give facts
concerning the sOllers war record
that make the labor Of his enroll ment
more than double that of the civilian
who never was in service. His place
and date of enlistment are required
company, regiment, services, muster
out, wounds, etc, etc, but the News
is careful to keep tbs knowledge
from its readers. The LIGHT chal-
lenges rom the record of the census
any proof that where names have
been omitted a greater number of
democrats than republicans are fonnd
in the list of the omitted. Till this is
done common honesty, not to say
common decency, would close the
mouths of compIalnants.

HOW MICH DO WE OWE?

The Senate has adopted the House
amendment to the bill relating to the
statistics of the ownership of farms and
houses and of mortgage Indebtedness.
This amendment makes it compulsory
on the part Of householders to answer
such questions in relation to the owner
ship of farms and houses and debts as
the Superintendent of Census may de-
eide to include in the population sched-
ule. Any person who shall willfully re-
fuse to answer these questions will be
judged guilty of misdemeanor, and
upon conviction fined in sum not ex-
ceeding 800. The amendment will be
particularly severe in the cases of COM
panies and corporations. 1t provides
that any President, Treasurer, Secre-
tary, Agent, Director or other officer of
any corporation from which answers are
required, who shall, if thereto requested
by the Superintendent, Supervisor, Emu
meratOr, or special Agent, neglect or
refuse to give true and complete answers,
or shall willfully give false information,
shall be guilty of a miSdemeanor, and on
conviction shall be fined not exceeding
ten dollars to which may be added i'm
prisonment for a period not exceeding
a term of one year." This is a some
what startling provision and certainly
arms the Superintendent with great
power. 1t is not likely, however. that it
will be exercised in many cases, because
the information sought will be only
given to the sworn agent of the govern
ment and published in the aggregate.
This same law applies to all Other sta
tistics collected by the Census office, but
the instances where recourse is had to |
the courts are rare. Statisticians have
learned by experience that information
can be better obtained by politeness and
and though the power to
enforce the law has been granted it will
not likely be resorted to except in ex-
treme cases.

IT has become a common habit of
many Democratic newspapers to allude
to the vote of the veterans who saved the
nation from Democracy and disunion as
the "mercenary soldier VOTE
The journals who are accustomed to
speak in this way are the same ones that
in former crisis of the country's his
tory frequently spoke of the Union SOL
diers as "mercenaries" and ''Lincoln hire
lings." The hostility of the simon pure
Democracy towards the soldiers of the
Union is so virulent, even at this day,
that it cannot be suppressed. 1t bursts
forth repeatedly in sneering illusions
like the one we have quoted.

THE Democrats in the House at Col
umbus consummated another steal last
week. Mr.. Blair, the Republican men,
Der from Adams county, was unseated
by mere force of party strength and Mr..
Peterson, his Democratic competitor,
was seated. Mr.. Blair had, on the face
of the returns, majority of 81. 1t was
charged that over one hundred Repub-
lican ballots were marked in a way
that would distinguish them and were
therefore illegal. The testimony taken
showed that there was no proof that
such ballots were marked when voted,
while there was strong and practically
perfect chain of circumstantial evidence
showing that these distinguishing marks
were made after election, and while the
ballot boxes were in the hands of Dem
ocrats. In fact, there was enough evi-
dence to convince any impartial jury
that the marks were the forged work of
Bourbon tricksters and schemers.

GAINING A SITUATION.

| " al ~
S. S. Prentiss, who became the great
est orator in the South generation ago
was poor, lame Maine boy. But
nothing daunteG, he set out for Natchez
Miss, to obtain tutorship. Hearing
of a Mrs. Shields, who lived fifteen
miles back in the counSy, and who
wished tutor for her three sons, he
concluded to go to her. But he had not a
dollar in his pocket. This is the way he
did, as a writer in the Philadelphia
Times tells this story:
| "There was fellow named FOote, of
fifty years, who kept livery stable in
the city. Prentiss was without dollar,
but, not deferred by his condition, he
went diredtly to Foote, who was in his
shirt sleeves, occupying a stool at the
door of his stables.
"You have horses to let, l SUPPOSED"
asked Prentiss. Foote eyed the lame
boy before him for some moments be-
fore replying, when in a Yankee style
ne did so by asking another question:
"Do you want to hire hOrse?"
81 do; l am from Maine and in search
of a school. l understand a Mrs.
Shields, few miles from here, wishes a
teacher, and it's there l propose going.
l have no money, am stranger here,
and propose to Iun my face for the hire
of horse to carry me there, as l am too
lame to walk"
81 know Mrs. Shields, and she will
want recommendations, young man.
Got any?"
"Only my face" was the reply.
Foote looked into his face, then at the
shrunken limb, threw out his tobacco,
and calling his haekman, said:
Bring the bald-faced mare" and
turning to Prentiss, said: "If your face
is not sufficient security, your impudence
is, and that will carry yUu through the
this world"
There was resident in the neighbor-
hood of Mrs. Shields, DIR. McGruder, a
very learned man. To him Mrs. Shields
referred Mr.. Prentiss, that he might ex-
anime him. The note written by the
doctor to the lady read thus:
Engage this young prodigy at once,
for he is the brightest and best educa-
ted young man L have ever met, and
much better qualified to examine me
than l am him."
Mrs. Shields was reserved and pol
ished lady. She read the note carefully.
When she had finished, she carefully re-
moved her glasses and remarked: "You
are acquainted, L suppose, Mr.. Prentiss,
with the contents of this note?''
81 am not, madam" was the reply. |
"Will you read it, if you please?"
81 did read it." Prentiss was wont to
say, "and feel to-day it was the turning
point in my life"
81 looked up in the face of the meek
but most elegant matron, who sat be-
fore me. She was looking calmly and
steadily upon my features, and l was
when she asked, Mr. Prem
tiss, have you mother?'
"My heart broke. o, how dear moth
er and far-away home rose up to my
view. l answered. and my tears told
the rest. She rose up, wiped her eyes,
and said quietly, You shall have the
Mr.. PrentiSs. When will it
suit you to come and commence your
,chool?'"
"There was not word said as to re-
ference or salary. My reply was, To
morrow, madam Here | was to be
how long l did not know,
md with lady who could, if any one
could, supply the place of mother"

THE murder of a U. S. Marshal, who
happened to be engaged in Florida in an
investigation of election frauds, is the
most outrageous incident of bloody
nature since the assassination of Col.
Clayton, of Arkansas. There was much
talk about the capture and execution of
the murderers in Arkansas, like that
going on in Florida, but the only pun
ishment inflicted was that of giving the
State bad name, diverting from its
population and capital, and that is pre-
cisely the penalty the people of Florida
will have to endure Cincinnati Com

THE RED RIVER VOYAGEUR.

Out and in the river is winding
The links of its long, red chain,
Through the belts of the dusky pine land
And gusty leagues Of plain.
Only at times a smoke wreath
With the drifting cloud rack joins
The smoke of the hunting lodges
OF the wild ASsiniboinesi
And with one foot on the water,
And one upon the shore,
The Angel of Shadow gives warning
That day shall be no more.
Is it the elang of wild geese?
Is it the Indian yell
That lends to the voice of the north wind
The tones of far off bell?
The voyageur smiles as he listens
To the sound that grows apace,
Well he knows the veSper ringing
OF the bells of st. BOniface.
The bells of the Roman mission,
That call from their terrets twain
To the boatman on the river,
To the hunter ON the plain.
Even so on our mortal journey,
The bitter north winds blow.
And thus upon life's Red River
Our hearts, as OarSmen, row.
And when the Angel of Shadow
Rests his feet on wave and shore,
And our eyes grow dim with watching,
And our hearts faint at the oar,
Happy Is he who heareth
The signal of his release,
In the bells of the Holy City,
The chimes of eternal peace.
John G. Whittier.

TALKS ON THE TARIFF.

In reply to the question how protect
ion protects the common laborer the
New York Press says that he is benft-
ed just as blacksmith is benfited by
having more horses to shoe, bricklayer
by having more bricks to lay, or retail
storekeeper more customers to serve. 1t
benefits any man to have an increased
demand for what he has to sell, whether
it be goods or services; for the law of
supply and demand is universal, and
when demand increases as compared
with supply, prices go up.
The common laborer sells his unSkill-
ed labor. There is hardly any business,
protected or unprotected, manufactur
ing, mercantile or agricultural, or trans
porting, that does not hire unskilled la
Dor, and most of them great deal of
it. Every big iron mill or factory en-
ploys, directly or indirectly, men with
strong shoulders and backs and arms for
labor that requires physical strength
rather than technical skill. If such men
are not needed in the factory almost ev-
cry industry employs them before it
reaches the factory or after it leaves the
factory. Unskilled labor is employed in
the field or in the mine getting out the
raw material beforehand. Unskilled
labor is employed by railroads and
steamship companies, freight and ex-
press depots, warehouses, mercantile
houses, ETC., handling the product as it
is transported and distributed and de-
livered. A manufacturing industry
helps three unskilled laborers for every
skilled laborer that it employs. And the
unskilled laborer who is employed by a
protected industry to-day may be en-
ployed by an unprotected industry
tomorrow. He must live, and if the
protected industry that gives him liv-
ing is wiped out by removing tariff du
ties he goes about and asks for the job
of another unskilled laborer in an un-
protected industry, and is willing to
work for less rather than starve or beg.
Thus the existence of protected indus
tries protects every unskilled laborer in
other industries from the competition of
those common laborers whom the pro-
tected industries employ before, in and
after the process of manufacture.

WHENEVER a peculiarly atrocious
crime is committed in the Southeast
against colored Republicans and United
States officers, the press and the authori-
ties in the State in which the outrage
occurred generally unite in "deploring''
the affair. But it rarely occurs that any
real effort is made to bring the offenders
to Justice Less of this sort of deplor-
ing and more punishment of incendia-
ries and murderers is what the South
east needs. 1t is not crocodile tears,
but justice, that the nation requires.

fine secured wool prepared to evade the

Most women naturally look forward to
matrimony as their proper sphere in life, but
they should constantly bear in mind that

orders, weaknesses, and functional irregulari-
ties peculiar to their sex, destroy beauty
and attractiveness and make life miserable

be found in DIR. Pierces Fave rite Prescription.
