Pertinent for Democrats.


Toledo Blade:
The Democratic freet-trade organs,
which have been asserting that the new
tariff is "prohibitory," will please ex-
plain how il happened that "the i'm
ports ST the port of New York for the
tirst three weeks OF November were
nearly per cent. greater than for the
same period IN 1889, and 29 per cent.
greater than in the same period of
1888" which statement Is given in the
Presidents message, and whose truth
IL shown by the official records.

The Journal Of Finance:

The discovery of great nickel mine
is reported from Queens county, Nova
Scotia. Examinations and tests made
by New York specialists show that the
find is wonderful one. A find of con-
glomerste ore at Stewinke, Nova SEQ
tia, is also creating great interest. A
great demand will soon be created in
the United States, where, unfortu-
nately, hardly any exists, for nickel
ore, to be used in the compound plates
for the new men-of- war.

Very Probable.


Governor-elect Winans has probably
made up his mind that G. William Cur
tls was right when he said that the
Democrats we're very hungry and very
thirsty. When he looks at the little
bundle of spoils he has to distribute
and then at the big crowd of spoilsmen
that surround it, no wonder he feels
like taking TO the woods.

SEED CORN FOR SOwERS.-Unless
we live our preaching, it will never
reach the hearts of the people.
Unless we are animated by the spir-
it of Christ, we can never do His
deeds.
Unless we first get close TO God our
selves, we shall never be able to per-
suade sinners to seek Him.
Unless we love much, we can not
do much.
Unless we are faithful in little things
we will not be reliable in great ones.
Unless we practice all we preach, we
preach too much.
Unless we are doing our best fol
God, we are doing very poorly.
Unless we are continually pointing
to the Lamb of God, we are pointing
to His enemy.
Unless we are ready and willing to
do little things, We will never do great
things.
Unless we walk where we should,
somebody else will walk where they
shouldn't.
Unless we are doing a good deal of
good, we are doing a good deal of
harm.
Unless we are holding up for Christ
in our lives, His Spirit is not abiding
in our hearts.-Hane'S Horn.

In an address before the Railroad
Branch of the Young Mems Christian
Association of New York, hon. ChauE'

his early life which carries a weighty
lesson. Said he:
"The best thing I remember con:

T had a hard-headed old father of stur,

knew it and intended to act according

said to me: you will never get a dol

I have for that. If he had taken the
other course what would l have done?
I would have been up in Peekskill to-
night nursing stove, cursing the men
who had succeeded in the world, and
wondering by what exceptional luck
they had got on; but having my way

"When you make dollar spend sew

that we must either go backward OF

than yesterday, or he knows less. A
man who bottoms a chair, gets up and
goes to his meals, and then goes back
again and bottoms chair, and then to

Parasites of Speech.

The duty each of us owes to his
mother-tongue should constrain him
to seek diligently after the best ways
of clothing ideas. If there is Il better
fashion of speech than our own, we
should not be content until it is ours.
Sloyen language is more disgraceful
than slovenliness of apparel. Ihe
great and greYous error in home ana
school education is that chileren are al
lowed to speak as they like. The
house-mOther who wages contlnual
war with flies, barricades her windows
against mosquitoes, and would go into
mysteries at the suggestion OF the RED
Bedouin of the sleeping-room, allows
her children to double negatives, con-
tract pr0vincialisms, and enwrap their
daily talk in slang as with a garment:
She was wise woman who insisted
that her children should give neat ana
definite expression to what they hao
in their minds to say. If they began
a sentence it must be finished. =.
"What you think, you can say"
was her rule. '"The sooner you learn
TO do it well, the better"
It goes without saying that as men
and women they were admirable talk-
ers. never taking refuge in "What-you-
may-call-'emsn and "I-don't- know
what's" in w-seems-to-mes" and "4ou
knows" -, 49,.
The pains given to the cultivation OF
the parasital gibberish we call 'slang," "
if rightly bestowed, would make
charming takers of our boys and girls,
There is as little wit as euphOny in
willful mispronunciation of words; nor
does the substitution of cabalistlc
phrases for intelligent English add pll-
ouancy to sentence or paragraph. II
the truth were known, few Sang ven
ders are on sufficiently intimate. terms
with their mother-tongue to take llD-
critics with her.-HOne Mdker.
