A surrestion to the democracy.

If the democratic party possessed a
spark of that patriotism which made
its alleged founder saint high on the
American calendar, it would cease
quarrelling and pickering over the
claims OF the weighty claimant, and
unite with the republican party to
crafty the people by electing MIR.
Blaine president in 1892 by reclamation.
Such a performance would go far
towards disproving the generally &C
cepted belief that the democratic party
cares nothing for the progress of Ameri-
can ideas, prefers the little glory OF
partisan success to the advancement OF
the nation and would rather procure
the spoils OF office by misrepresentation
than see a republican principle work
out prosperity for the people and repu-
tation for the government. This sug-
gestion may not be adopted by the dem
Ocratic party with the promptness and
gratitude its wisdom deserves, but we
throw it out free of charge, feeling re-
paid by a sense of patriotic duty per
formed in the interest of all the people
-Capital.

Susie" The giH answered his ssiutetion
with half conscious glance Of clear mis-
chievous eyes, to which thst stained note
in his vest pocket was the key.
Il do vender il he got it, or If he only
happened TO come" Susie was thinking.
Il wouldn't have mother know"
Basil, on his part, was traasported to the
old ''roekery and Kitty" for sure enough
the face of Susie might have been that of
Kitty grown to young wemsnheod.
Susie seemed to be busy with household
duties he noticed as he passed the kitchen
door on his way for a stroll beside the
river along in the afternoon.
As he sauntered up TO the house at sun
set he heard a strong clear voice, the voice
of his dreams, improyising an air TO the
words:
Quit your meadow cewslips, yellow, yellow,
yellow,
Come up whitefoot, come up Bghtfoot-
And there in the early twilight Susie
stood by the pasture bars with milking
pail and stool, and the two cows browsing
in the aftermath of the meadow were lift
ing their heads, responsive to the loving
call of their mistress, then returning to
nibble little before they should obey

up, and Basil stood watching the white
foam arise in the pail rapidly.
Both new and old, lie responded. 81
was country boy Let me try if milking
is lost art with me.
Susie gave place, laushingly, while
WhitefoOt regarded the new conner half
doubtfully, but he soon proved his ability
to set her at ease, and also to fill the pail in
short order. From that night Susie had a
helper.
The two became fast friends.
"Do you think could get situation in
the cityY" Susie asked one dsy. There's
no chance for me to earn any money here
except in the berry season"
Basil drew out the stained note with q
queer twinkle in his eye.
You cid get it then2 Did you think it

Both funny and fortunate for me" he
returned. But about q situation. know

Il could love any one who was kind to
me, Susie began; when meeting the mean
ing look in his eyes, she blushed rosily.
Half an hour later, Basil led Susie 10
her mother, who was sewing in the cool
back porch, and made known his wishes.
Il could give her up TO Basil Blackstone
easier than to anyone else, believe, said
Mrs. Horner, as her eyes rested on Susie
fondly. How near the old days seem

Il might have known. Susie is just like
you were then" and Basil, TO Susie's sur
prise, got up and kissed her mother for the
sake of the past, present, and future, as
he said.

Basils heart has renewed its youth. HC

Speaker Reeds Eloquent Words.

manly and eloquent farewell remarks:

In some respects unparalleled in hum

OF the f1fty-tirst congress will soon pass

OF the country and its works will follow

measure political. Whatever is pOliti-
cal arouses the sternest, the most tur-
bulent, the most unfOrgiving passions or
the human family. Political action
can never be justly viewed from near
standpoint. Time and distance are
needed for ripe judgement, and tho
verdict of history is the only verdiGt
worth recording. To state in LANGUAGE

HUNDREDS KILLED.
Valuable Property Totally Destroyed by
Earthquakes In Japan.

LoNDON, oct. 90. - Dispatches from
Japan states that shocks OF earthquakes
have been experienced in that country. So
severe were they at Hinge AID Osaka that
scores OF houses were destroyed and many
lives lost Mt both places.
Dispatches just received here announce
that the telegraph wires beyond Hiogo
and Osaka are down; that there has been
an earthquake at Hogo, and that great
amount Of property has been destroyed,
and that the loss Of life has been consider
able.
A private telegram dated Hiogo says
that severo earthquake shock was ex-
perienced at Osaka, aud that the destruc-
tion both OF life and property was very
great. A number Of houses was thrown
to the ground aud many occupants were
crushed 10 death A large number Of per-
sons escaped from their tottering homes
only to meet death in the streets from
falling debris.
The details of tho catastrophe are very
meager, as all the telegraph wires In the
districts affected were broken by the fall
ing OF the poles. IL Is known, however,
that in Osaka alone 800 p' sons lost their
lives
Hiogo has a population Of 10000 and
Osaka Of $50, 900. Both cities are on the

THE PAPAl CHAIR.
Italians VIII Object to Its Being Occu
pied by Cardinal Gibbons.

RoME, Oct. GA recent article from the
pen OF Sig Cesare in one OF the principal
Liberal organs has made some stir in
ecclesiastical circles. Sig. Cesare, who Is
Liberal writer Of some note and who has
made special study OF ecclesiastical ques-
tions, contends that Austria, in the name
OF the triple alliance, ought to dominate
the future conclavs aud procure the cleo
tion Of pope amenable to the suggestions
of the triple alliance.
But the point Of interest to Americans
in tho article is the vigorous opposition to
the candidature OF Cardinal Gibbons for
the succession to the papal chair. Among
other things, Sir. Casare declares that
under Cardinal Gibbons tho church would
cease to be Roman" This attack on
Cardinal Gibbons is regarded at tho Nati-
can ~ the expression Of the fear OF the
Liberals that Cardinal Gibbons might be
elected at the next conclave The article
will, however, have little effect, as the
cardinal is very popular here, and espe-
cially since the knights of Labor incident.
Tho national rivalres and jealousles
which might prevent the unanimous elec-
tion Of a European pope would not operate
In Cardinal Gibbons case. So his chance of
election is considered good
