1t was Elder Bu2zell who called OF a
worthy deacon to open a meeting with
a prayer, and was surprised when the
good man began his petition with: 20,
thou great, insignificant God"
''Omnipotent, brother; you mean
o%mnipotent God" whispered the hor-
riiied pastor,
What's that you say?'
The preacher repeated the correction,
~whereupon the deacon continued his
prayer to a great length, and concluded
rs follows:
''Finally, Lord. bless our dedicated
parson. Stuf him with religion as well
as with words; break him of the habit
of fault findin', il possible, and at the
'leventh hour gather him with the
saints in thy dingdom."
Elder Buzzell, who was fond of tell
ing the story, always ended by declar-
ing that it wos the first and last at

The Democratic party papers are
loud in their professions of love for the
laboring man, They denounce the
Republican policy of protective
tariff as tax on verything the work
ingman consumes, while foreign labor
is allowed to come in to compete with
home labor. This in face of the fact
that the great strength of the Demo
cratic party is found to be in the aid
it receives from the foreign element
arriving in this country. That party
caters to this element. In addition to
this the investigation of the congress
sional committee in regard to immigra-
ton has developed some rich facts
concerning Democratic methods. Tes-
tiuony before the committee shows

that our prices prevented them from

per cent are free on our tariff to-day,
and, with proper restrictions. we be-
Iieve that all can be made free under

the price OF our goods. Canada has
as good a chance to buy English
manufactures as our own. Freights
are no higher by water from Liverpool
than by land from our factories. OF

turn comes to be examined for ad-
vanced products OF iron and steel and
other manufactures, over 80 per cent
come from Canada. With England
competing, and q higher tariff than
anywhere in South America, we hold
the cream of the Canadian trade.
Why9 Because there is free and di-
rect communication. Give us this to
South America and we hold the best
of that trade. If the way can be
made clear to secure reciprocity with
Justice to home interests We will add
$500, 100, 900 to our present exports,

From New York Evening POST
You know the methods OF ascertain

iriendsputinto operation againstSouth

cuse for turning them out, don't you2
They started with the sweeping as
sumption that race and party lines

he votes without the need of inquir.
ing further; all negroes are Republic
oans,all white men Democrats. Hence
II the negro voters outnumber the
whites in any district by 5000 the
Republican candidate mus have
5000 majority. Why should the logic
that is good enough to turn out a
Representative from Alabama, say, be
good enough to turn out one from
Massachusetts? In Lodges district the
proportion OF colored voters to white
is about one TO ninety. Hence in
vote of $4,000 there would be,presump-
lively, 400 votes cast for Lodge at the
outside and thc remaining $4,000 for
Everett. II Lodge wants anybody to
believe that he got more than 4OC
votes he must prove every vote affirm
atively. That is the style Of short cni
reasoning he loves to apply to Demo
