Keep the Passions in Check.

An old man was once walking with a lit
tie boy. They came across four shrubs. The
old man said to his youthful companion:
Pull up the least ONE
he obeyed with ease.
"Now the next"
He obeyed, but it did not come so easily.
"And the third"
1t took all his strength to move its roots
but he succeeded.
Now the fourth"
In vain the lad put forth all his strength.
He only made the leaves tren bic; he could
not move the roots. They had gone strongly
into the earth, and no effort could dislodge
them.
Then the wise old man said to the ardent
youth:
This. my son, is just what happens with,
our passions. When they are young anf
weak, one may, by little wstchfulnYs
over self and the help Of little self DENIAL,
easily tear them up; but if we let them fast
their roots deep into our souls, there ia no
human power can uproot them. For this
reason, my child, watch well over the first
movements of your soul, and study, by acts
Of virtue, to keep your passions well in
check. "-Goiden Days

faithfulness to the interests of the people.
II We can reproduce the same conditions it
IS reasonable certain we will regain the
same prosperity.
But to come TO details. In the first place
the remedy prerequisite to every other
remedy Is TO reduce the expenses of the
government. There must be an end TO
Ihese oyergrown appropriation bills, which
uraW on the substance of the people as fast
as ther labor creates it. Ii we continue TO
scale, we will soon come to
Russian poverty and misery in this
country. No people can stand such terri
Die drain without exhaustion. There is no
energy no industry, no prosperity which
can rise above the crest of such extortion.
The tariff will never get lower, while the
expenditures are getting higher. The cir
culatlng medium will always be too small
as long as the government takes such guam
titles of it away from the tax-paying many
and delivers it over to the tax-devouring
few. Indian agents, ship contractors,
Washington real estate brokers' and others
OF high and low degree constantly puff the
claims of their own particular interests
during the sessions of congress, and as re-
suit the appropriation bills come from the
several committees bloated with extrava-
gance and fayoritism.
The frugal citizen when his means are
short waits until the next year for mary
things which he would like to have at
once, and this homely device of economy
should be oftener applied TO government
expenses. OF course l realize that it is
easier 10 make than to execute these sug-
gestions, but unless there is ii general
awakening throughout the country on this
subject, the relief afforded by any reform
Of taxation or finance will be fleeing and
disappointing.
The second remedy comes right along
with the first: it is TO return TO a revenue
tariff. And by 4 revenue tariff mean an adj
valorerl tariff. The present system of COM
bining specific duties and advaiorem duties
is not only protective, but is misleading. II
the ,arif on an article like clothing, for
example, is fixed at so much pound man
may pay as much tax on low priced suit
as on one that is high priced, but if it is
fixed on d basis of value, not weight, those
who live cheaply are taxed cheaply. This
was the sort of tariff which lifted the
couI try from the slough of depression in
loI6 and it should be given q fair trial
again.

in advance Nobody pretends TO do more
than offer an opinion. Those opinions seem
to be safest which estimate the immediate
addition at from three hundred TO five
hundred million of dollars. And this amount
with the steady annual supply which I'M
limited silver coinage would provide, will
furnish all the Federal currency which we
need.
Not only is silver coinage INSTRUCTED by
those who seek TO exaggerate its dangers,
but there is another class of men who OBJ
struct it in a manner equally as effective by
seeking to underrate its importance, as 4
factor in the restoration of prosperity: IL
is clear that the people viii never OBTAIN
free coinage of silver until they make up
their minds that it is worth fighting for. As
long as they can be made to believe that 1t
is mere trife Of reform, unlimited coinage
will he put off. But if the people demand
il with earnestness and poser it will come.
The silver issue should be he.3 secondary
TO nothing else whatever. Free coinage
from 1S4l 10 1860 gave the people the 5eneltL
Of our immense gold production and sent its
celebrating influence to the extremities OF
the Union, and the present immense silver
production of our mining states and terri
tories gives Us the opportunity to repeat
free coinage with the same beneficent re-
suits.
I Weld TO no man in reverence for the
great names OF democracy, but 90 not ne
lievc that any statesman, however emf
nent. should be allowed 10 stand upon
hilltop and call dead halt upon Demo
cratic millions who are seeking better times
b. the same pathway which our fathers
trod in safety.
II the Democratic party goes into the
great struggle OF 1892 with one of its hands
tied behind it the unequal contest with the
money power can hardly be waged 10 sue
cess, but if it goes to battle armed in the
right with tariff reform and in the left
hand with free silver. it will smite Repub
icanism on hip and thigh, redeem the peo-
pie from the spoliation of government
favorites, restore to every industry heavens
boon of q fair and equal race for prosperity.
The remedies which l have pointed out
are all practical-they do not appeal to the
Imagination as strongly as some of those
which have been so widely advertised dur
ing the last year or two, but they appeal to
the Judgment, they are backed by the i'm
movable logic of facts and figures, they are
recommended by the recorded experience of
our own people, at a time within the mem
ory of living men, they are illuminated by
the benignant appreciation of our Federal
constitution and they recognize the great
truth which God has taught from the be-
ginning, that there is no permanent pros
perity to any people which is not founded
upon individual industry and manhood.

CURED at the residence of Mr.. Americas
Bagwell, six miles east of Greenyille, il
which Mrs. Bagweu and her child, about
one year old, were fatally burned while
hindling a fire with coal oil. Mrs. BagwelI
had been securing and housekeeping, aid
for this purpose had removed the furniture,
etc, and as her husband was at work har-
vesting and not expected home for dinner,
she had made no preparation for the mid
day meal, but seeing her husband coming
she made hasty preparation for fire, and
to accelerate the object in view the
coal oil can was resorted to-
After pouring the oil on the fuel and it not
burning satisfactorily, Mrs. Bagwen re-
peated the action, when the can exploded,
throwing the burning oil all over her per-
son and fatally burning her child who was
by her side. They are both burned to
solid blister, and the attending physicians
have no hope for their recovery. The house
was saved, and the contents being in the
yard, escaped damage.

GIANT SOLDIERS.
Elephants in India Bear tho Baggage OF

Elephants in India Bear tho Baggage OF
the Army and Drag the Heavy Cannon.
The very biggest Of the British soldiers
are In the East indian army. They are
eight OF ten feet tall. They weigh ave or
six tons apiece. Tscse giant soldiers are
not men, however. They go on four feet
instead OF two. In fact, they are elephants.
Strange to say, tbs first elephants ever
seen by Europeans, centuries ago, were sol
diers too. The Europeans had TO fight
them, as well Us men, in the great wars of
the east In those days, elephants went
into battle clad IN srmor. Sometimes they
bore towers on their backs, flied with war
riors. Some of those old soldier elephants
were trained to cut and thrust with huge
scimiters, which they carried with their
trunks. An elephant can lift half ton
with his trunk. Think, then, what a ire
mendous weapon such sIordsman could
swing
