! believe that the year 1890 will wit
ness one OF the greatest trfumphs
which the Democratic party of this
country has ever enjoyed. The signs
OF the times all point that way. Our
defeat in 1888 did not discourage the
Democracy left the party as deter
mined as ever to achieve its great OBJ
1ects- economic government and tariff
reform
Perhaps never in the history of the
world was defeated party so full of
spirit and courage as was the Demo-
cratic dparty after election day in No
vember, 1888, and that spirit and that
courage have been increasing. The
Democratic party is in better shape
defeated than the Republicans are in
success Rallying for tariff reform and
good government generally, we en-
gagged the enemy last fall in Ohio, Iowa
and Virginia and emerged victorious
from the contest. In Massachusetts the
cause of tariff reform has become so
formidable that leading Republicans
admit that the State, barely saved to
them last November, will probably go
Democratic next fall unless their party
does something decisive for tariff re-
FORM
How can the Republican party be the
friend of tariff reform? It's life blood is
now monopoly. Its main supporters
will never despoil themselves. 1t must,
from the very nature of It's make-up, be
the enemy of reform. The country can
not look to it for relief.
In 1890 another election of Repre-
sentatives to Congress will take place.
feel confident that a Democratic ma
jority will be returned and that a new
tariff bill will be passed by the Demo-
cratic House during the last years of
President Harrisons Administration
which will be such an object lesson for
the people that nothing more will be
needed upon which to conduct the Pres

as never before for quarter of cent

cheaper materials for manufacture or GO

on all the time. The people are steadily
learning, and the shackles which now
curb and confne American commerce

off. The principles of Jefferson, which

FEDERAL EDUCATION:



Nothing has done more to bring about
the change in public sentiment at the
North concerning Senator Blair's Wild
scheme of National education than the
earnest opposition sof the most promi-
nent and most trusted educators Of the
negro at the South siHgH4a miseeh-
ception of the truth is betrayed by the
burlington fIa..J ffawlxeeye when It says
Whatever may be the individual views
of every one regarding the Blair educa-
tional bill, it may be safely put down
that the opposition to it from the South
is most bitter among those who would
not have the negro educated at all il
they could prevent it, AS matter OF
fact, the stoutest Southern opposition to
the .sBill to Promote Mendicancy" has
come from men connected with the in
situations established especially for the
education Of the negro.
One of these is Rev. W. e. G. Wright,
professor in Berea (Ky.) College, who
objects to the bill from 1.-THE fear that
it would diminish, rather than increase,
local exertions for the support of
schools, and gives this conclusive rea-
son for such apprehension: Already the
agitation of the measure is occasionally
used as a reason for not increasing State
funds. Southern. candidates for Con-
gress have been heard saying to their
constituents: Your children have got to
be educated. Would you rather pay for
It yourselves or have the Nation pay for
it?'n Another such opponent is General
S. G. Armstrong, head Of the Hampton
IVA Institute, who says: 1--WE would
not accept aid from State or people were
it offered on the plan of the Blair bill,
being conscious that in the end itweuld
do us more harm than good. For here
it is not mere education that we seek to
give, but education through self-help.
Take out the self-help and the rest is
not worth much. Apply the Blair bill
to the Southern school system, and it
will check the growth OF the best thing
in Southern life. the effort of the people
to educate themselves. IN. Y. Post

THE RUSSIAN METHOD.
A Unique Way of Securing the surrendc
of Dangerous Criminals

A Unique Way of Securing the surrendc:
of Dangerous Criminals.
In the course of his tour of inspection
through the Caucasus last autumn
Prince Dondukoff- Korsakoff passed close
to the village of Starry Yoort, where a
native Colonel was not long previously
murdered out of revenge, and where tho
murderers were being screened from the
authorities by the inhabitants. As they
refused to give up the assassins the
Prince ordered all the inhabitants Of the
village to be assembled on his route two
miles off. Here the Prince refused to
accept their greeting of bread and MALT,
and rated them right soundiy in the
severest terms of the Russian yoeab4l
ulary. At the same time he ordered
their elders TO be arrested on the spot
and gave them one month in which to
surrender the murderers. II they re-
manned recalcitrant at the end of that
te fm the severest punishment was to be
inflicted. With the Usual obstinacy OF
the Chechenlis tribes, who continue
their opposition to Russia as long az, Il
not longer than, any Of thesother tribes
'of the Caucasus, the murderers were not
given up at the end of the month,
whereupon military execution was
ordered to be made. Atdaybreak the
village was surrounded by a Gordon OF
troops, and all the inhabitants were dis
armed and forbidden ever to carry arms
again. Adetachmentof troops were then
quartered in the village, and 200 rubIes
was exacted for the benefit of the muir
dered mans family. An elder was also
appointed and sent by the authorities
with salary, to be paid by the village,
Of 800 rubles a year. The murderers
have now at last been surrendered, and

This 10 undoubtedly meant for 90 800, but

Maine boys and girls generally are, do not
learn shorthand, and get better positions.
II is the best paid clerical labor that there

young people of Augusta and vicinity by
the shorthand class Just started at the Y.

learning shorthand would do well to confer
with Mr.. Peabody, the General Secretary.

and will be worth much. The idea that
there are more photographers than there
