Sister Thomas, of the Springfield
Record, carries a level-head, and she
is entitled to occupy high seat in
the Democratic party. Speaking of
the row between the American and
the Herald and their respective candi-
dates, jeremiah and Josiah, the Rec
ord says:
These charges and counter-charges
of candidates and their supporters
will give rise to much bitterness dur
ing the approaching convention,
which is to be regretted, but If it re-
suits in the party presenting pure,
sound, able Democrat to the people
for their votes ii will be well.

DIR. Chauncey NJ. Depew told a little
story the other day about a young man
who started an "only" box, into which he
and his wife put all the small pieces of
money they would otherwise have spent for
things that were ''only dime" or "only
q quarter" or "only half dollar" And
the result was that In a year, more or
less, they had g., 900 to invest
1t was very pretty little story, and very
likely IL has caused the starting of dozen
or 30 "only" boxes.
But there is another side to the question,
a side which deserves more championing
than it has ever had. Did that young
couples thousand dollars repay them for
all they lost by saving itp 1t is very
grave question whether that habit of small
and scraping economy which the "only"
box is expected to foster is good thing to
have. Would the whole thousand dollars
repay them for what they lost when, some
warm evening, John was on the point of
spending only ten cents" for little
bunch of carnations or a single fragrant
pink rose to take to Mary, and then re-
membered the only" box and didn't do itl
And when Mary didn't buy the twenty-five
cent toy for the little toddler at home, be-
cause OF that ever present box, did she do
welli
And did 1t really pay them to deny them
selves all these little innocent enjoyments,
and surrender themselves to the miserly
spirit which such plan presupposes and
makes necessary The people who foster
the habit of the ''only" box will inevitably
become as small in spirit as their econo-
mics are. Is not character of as much i'm
portance els money, and is it not as well to
have a warm, sympathetic heart, gener-
Gus disposition and a spirit full of the
milk OF human kindness as to possess a
thousand dOllRrsS And is 1t not evident
that an only" box could be maintained
only at the expense Of those three things,
and OF many others as welll-New York

The Cause of Poor Health

Is often found in the neglect of ones
own self. A light cold or slight head
ache is treated as not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass off, and it is only
when a case of full-hedged sickness de-
velops Itself that the consequences Of
that neglect are fully realized. AS a
preventive and positive cure for Conghs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting of blood,
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first
stages of consumption, use Eilerts Ex-
tract of Tar and Wild Cherry, and for
sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Dys-
pepsia, Nervousness and all Bilious
Complaints, use Eilert's Daylight Liver
Pills. Both are guaranteed.

MY GUEST

At early dawn woke,
Iheard robin and looked out.
Beneath my window, whore the roses bloomod
Love stood in blnshing doubt.
His smile was very sweet,
But yet his lips did not his name disclose
knew him not, and soon he went away,
Bearing one crimson rose.
Beneath the high noontide
met him by the shady garden wall;
Wespoke of many things; he clasped my hand
One kiss, and that was all
Alas knew him not,
And yet he wore my rose upon his hearth
But still the perfume of his kiss remains,
Though let Love depart
The day wanes Toward the west
lift my eyes-and lol he comes once more.
He comes q victor, for know him now,
And open wide my door.
My rose Is now his sword,
My will to conquer and my pride to slay;
But song and sunshine I'LL my happy heart,
For Love has come to stay.

The Pennsylvania Democracy have
done nobly in nominating ex-Gov-
ernor Pattison for governor on the
first ballot and adopting a ringing
platform demanding tariff reform.
Gov. Pattison is an able, pure man,
with a clean record, and has Oh the
ticket with him Chauncey F. Black,
popular gentleman, for lieutenant
governor. They have over $4,000
Republican majority against the
ticket, but with the disaffection in
the Republican ranks and the rotten
record of Quay's man, Delamter, be-
fore the people, it will not be sur
prising if the Democratic ticket is
elected. Gov. Pattison was elected
governor in 1881 by Al, 900 majority,
overcoming a Republican majority
the previous election of $4,000.

One of the most striking things is the
sight which is presented by Boston Com
mon on Sunday afternoon. 1t is coming to
be grand rendezvous for cranks of all
sorts. The Salvation army holds its meet
ings here; there are lectures on the faith
cure, on the single tax, on astrology and
on Socialism, with all varieties of orators,
who must speak or die of inward imitation.
There is mixture of hymns, of turgid elo-
quence, of wild defamation, of argument,
which it would puzzle the editor of prize
conundrum column to make head or tail
out of; the singing Of psalm tunes and the
humping of holy tambourincs and the
waving of gospel banners, the smoke of vile
tobacco and the sound of Strauss waltzes
from the band stand. 1t is wonderfully
orderly for such motley gathering, but

as stout as the typical medieval abbot, and
for the same reason--love of good cheer
Nine. Renan, daughter, by the way, Of
AIRY Scheffer, the painter, is remarkably
good cook, and her pride is to tickle Re-

although he has not a trace of Judaism in
his blood.
Eight centuries of Breton life lie behind
him, and he can today make out an honest,
irreproachable pedigree which few aristo-
Gratis could equal The great man is as
dogmatic as ever Macaulay was. He can
not bear to be interrupted when talking,

dure u contradiction. When he receives
guests at his weekly gatherings he holds
forth to them by the half hour He is fond

per there has printed a hint Of it. The
night of Sept. Is the celebration of MeHi-

space in front of the Presidential
Palace was thronged with excited
people who were singing patriotic songs,
firing rockets. AMI making a terrible noise
generally. At about 9:30 O'Clock President
DiaZ accompanied by some friends Stepped
outside the palace to watch the sight and
listen to the singing. VIII lie chatting and
laughing with his staff, some thirSy-five
men in the press of people fired him
simultaneously. The light was had
and the surging of the crowd rem
de1el exact aim an i'm possibility.
Three bullets struck the wall of the
palace. The President spoke a few words to
his attendants and the party quickly with
drew. The most curious feature of the
story is found in the fact that the cCnspira-
tors were all Liberals. which is the Presi-
dents own party. The wife of the Presi-
dent is an earnest Roman Catholic, and in
sympathy with the clericals. 1t has been
alleged of late that Diaz has mOdera ted his
resistance to the demands of the clericals
and shown a disposition to hear them with
patience if not cOmplaisance. This is as
cribed to the influence of his wife.

plies Of money and prepares the way for
healthier trade in all legitimate branches.
With lower prices there appears the desired
improvement III exports of products, and
the decrease for the last three weeks is
now only Al per cent. compared with
last year. The imports are much en-
larged by the effort to get goods into
the country before a new tariff goes
into effect, but the current accounts of such
increase are'exaggerated the value of all
imports for three weeks has been but Is -
per cent. above last years record. A con-
siderable increase appears in woolens,
linens, silks and 9th 9r dry goods, but there
is fair prospect that the merchandise eX-
ports will now exceed in value the imports
for the month. Grain does not move freely
as yet, but the exports of cotton exceed last
years materially, and provisions move in
la rye quantities.
