The egg market is only moderately

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Feom our Regular Correspondent

For the Democrat
What has become OF the
principle of protection so
prominent in the Chicago
platform OF 1888?
The hardest blow yet re-
cieved by the Tariff, and the
tariff ring, heretofore the
sole issue and source OF sus-
tenance, respectfully, OF the
republican party, has just
BEEN delivered by the Pres
ident. He has had occasion
to be seriously provoked by
the manner in which his sug-
gestions were tabled during
the present session.. by both
Houses Of Congress.
In fact, the old Republican
ship is at sea dinaheav-

Vance for President.

Suppose, then, that the far
mers in the democratic par
ty were to suggest to the hot
heads of that party to stop
booming Cleveland and Hill
for the nomination: and feel
the pulse of the country on
Senator Vance for awhile.
What a stir it would make! I!
True, they might lose a
doubtful state, but they
would gain half-a-dozen in
the place OF it. The reasonis
plain and simple. Vance is
noted as a plain man of the
people, a wise man, a pure
man, an honest able and eff
cient man. His people love
him, and tears Of Joy will

HARRISON AND QUAY.

We desire to say to the
President that every further
step he takes in company
with Mr.. Quay and his follow
ers will be another step on
the road topolitical disaster.
The indications ought to be
pretty plain by this time that
the warnings of the Ameri-
can, begun more than a year
ago, were not without good
foul dation. We assured Gen.
Harrison that he could not
afford to embark with such.
a company as Mr.. Quay com
manded; undersuch a flaga as
they carried, and that evil
was sure to result ifhe did so.
1t will hardly be denied, we
think, that thore are now a.
bundant evidences of the
soundness of this statement.
The politics of Pennsylvania
are confused and convulsde.
There is hardly one county
from the Delaware to the o.
hio which is not angry and
inharmonious. There is not
an intelligent and conscien-
tious republican in the State
who does not realize the inju-
ries which Quayism has
wrought, and does not feel
that this has been greatly in
creased by the favor which
the President has shown to
so unworthy and mischiev-
GUS an element. The seeds OF
distraction and disunity
which the administration in
sisted upon sowing, have
sprung up in all directions,
and give signs of an abund.
ant crop Of disaster. Is itpos
sible then, that the President
means to SOW still more oi
them, and that he isreaoy tc
furnish the means wherewitf
Mr.. Quay shall bribe enough
delegates to assure Mr.. Del
. amater's nomination? Two
years ago we should have de
clared with absolute conf
dence that such a thing wa1
not possible. philadelphia

ABUSIVE PREACHING.

1t is rarely the case that
denunciatory preaching does
any good. Surely it often
does harm. | doubt if III the
history of the world a single
soul has ever been turned
from the error Of his way by
abuse.
Errorists are not won by
fiery onslaughts upon their
sincerity, nor by a scornful
depreciation OF their intelli-
gence. Ii one be sincere in his
belief s.0l.at an error is the
truth, has anything been
done towards enlightening
his mind by charging him
with dishonesty? So unjust
a charge has provoked his re
sentiment and left him farther
than everfrom the truth. You
have hurt his feelings with
out Offering to convince his
Judgment, If he is incincere,
you have reminded him of it
in a way that rather repulses
than persuades. So whether
one be honest or dishonest in
holding to error, it would ap
pear that furious assault is
not calculated to dislodge
him.
And to speak slightly,,of the
good sense OF those whose er-
rors you. would correct, flies
equally wide of the mark. To
call a wise man a fool is to
excite either his pity or his
contempt; and to apply the
epithet where it rightly be-
longs, would be to blind with
hatred and rage.
| Ii it be better to denounce
than toconnive aterror, may
! it not be better still to dc
neither?
Whatever may be thought
of what have here dotted
down without taking time tt
weigh very carefully, ] an

ing by trying to conform OH

rection: "The servant ofth,

The Theory Of Dew.

1t is now held by the best |
physicists that instead offull
ing from above the dew rises
from the earth. The general
ly received opinion that the
dew is formed of vapor exist
ing at the time in the atmos-
phere must he given up for
the established fact that the
vapor which arises from the
heated earth is trapped by
the surface earth. Besides,
when we imagine that on a
cool evening after a sultryi
day in surnlfier, our feet are
being wetby the dew ON the
grass, we make a grave mis-
take. For that moisture on
the grass is not dew ut all, it
is false dew-in reality the
transpired humor OF the
plant. The drops at the tips,
which gllsten diamond-like
are not dew; close examina-
ton shows that these crysta-
line spheres are all situated
at the points where the veins
OF the leaves cut the outer
edges. These drops only give
evidence OF the vitality Of the
plant.
The difference between the
true dew on the grass and
the exuded drops through
the veins from within the
grass. can be easily distin-
tinguished, for the former is
distributed all over the blade
in a moist film; whereas the
latter OF some size, and are
situated near the tips OF the
blade. Altered, then, is the
meaning of the line. "llka
blade of graes keeps it's ain
drap u dew" for those glob-
ules on the petal, shaking
to the same sweet air,
and often "gliding all fra.
GRANGE into one'', are no dew
drops, but are exudations
OF the healthy plants. They
= give evidence OF the elixir vi
tae of vegetation; whereas
!, the true dew is the pearly lus
, ter, varnished in filny humid
, ity over the blades by thai
$ wonderous alchemy which
: transforms the vapor risin:
