of q great national character should

are SO many people still living who
knew this great man that none but a
genius could present him in such a
way as 10 avoid caricature on the one
hand.
Then, too. that some actor without
special gifts should undertake to make
up to resemble the war President in
the leading city Of the State in which
he began his career, and before
thousands of people who had known
him before he was nominated, was so
prcposterous that any manager put
ting such a play on the stage was
only tempting fate. The sole wonder
is that the play was eve permitted to
get beyond the opening night in a
backwoods village.
The great American play may come
along one of these days. Certainly
persons of serious minds will do moth
ing to delay its early arrival, and will
give it hearty welcome. But when
it does come it will be named after n
living character of the generation be-
fore which it is prcsented.-Ne~

A FAILURE.

The people OF this country will
stand some pretty bad things in the
matter of PLAYS and even worse ones
in the matter of actors. But they do
draw a line somewhere. They have
a canon of taste.
These facts have been well shown
during the past few weeks. Since
the opening of the new dramatic year
a company of actors have been trying

Of the man.

James Parton, who died at New
buryport, Mass, was II of the most
industrious prolific writers of bio
graphy this country has known. His
lives of Greeley, Jefferson, Franklin,
Aaron Burr and other prominent
characters in American history have
been read by hundreds and thousands
of people. While Mr.. Parton IA by
no means a writer of the first rank,
his abilities were considerable, and he
did. first and last, a great deal OF
creditabIe and useful work.

The Democratic scheme which
worked in Michigan, to secure the
election of Presidential electors by
Congressional districts, and is about
to be carried out in Ohio, should the
Democrats win in the legislature, is
also an issue in Iowa. The scheme
has been exposed by the Davenport.
Iowa, Democrat. That paper argues
deliberately in favor of "Michiganiz-
ing Iowa. All along the line in Re-
publican states, the Democracy is en-
deavoring to secure the legislatures,
and should they win they will pass
bills in every one of them for the
choice of electors by Congressional
districts instead of by states. The
Republicans of Ohio, Iowa. Nebraska
and other states where legislatures
r to be elected this year should take
warning and see 10 it that the Demo-
Gratis do not have a majority in those
bodies.

1t is now apparent that the sugar
bounties TO be paid to the sugar
planters of this country will not
amount to a cent over $4,000 900.
The tariff upon this product has been
previously between fifty-fivc and
sixty-five millions of dollars. This
will be a saving to the people OF the
United States OF close upon S5O.O0O,-
600. The Republican policy of pro-
lection is to allow those products
which we cannot produce in this
country in sufficient quantities to sup
ply our own wants. to enter free of
duty; and when after a fair trial il is
discovercd-as in the CASE of sugar
that We must buy much more than
We produce, the Republican doctrine
taxes off the duty and allows it to
enter free. There are few men with
the exception of the Democratic
howlcrs who would not be willing to
invest $40 in order 10 gain $50.

The idea that education ends with
the coming of manhood is one which
no really educated mind entertain.:
But there are not many persons who
realize the extent to which men and
women are educated by their children.
In fact it is from this source that the
best of education comes, and if men
and women were. wiser they would
make more of their advantages in this
way. No grown person can associate
on terms Of loving familiarity with
his children without having his mind
enlarged, his faculties trained TO
higher efficiency and his soul made
better and sweeter by their converse.

Many persons in forming and in car
rying out their ideas of justice fail to
= take account of the clement of time.
They intend to deal justly with every
one, 10 withhold from no one his due.
to fulfil every obligation and satisfy
every claim; but they feel 10 special
duty to hasten these acts of justice.
II they are done eventually, they are
. content, and think that others should
be content also. The hours. or DAYS,
or weeks that may elapse between the
. claim and their fulfilment of it do not
seem to them very important if it is
but ultimately discharged. They
would not for the world evade a debt,
but they will delay its payment with
out any conjunction. There are of
ourse cases where this may be unat-
tended with any apparent evil'results;
but there are others where incou-
vcnience ensues, and still others where
suffering aud loss is entailed.

laugh at the suggestion of the Hill

teen or twenty banks a chance TO
pocket $4,000 in interest on the

the Tammany way. whether dealing
with a bank, a saloon keeper or a

that the direct tax fund of S2.2O0,O0O

banks at = per cent. he admitted all
that was necessary for Mr.. Fassett's

The assertions that the Democrats
will make a general assault on the
tariff next winter are foolish. Sup
pose they do. They are duller than
CLANS if they hope to accomplish any
thing. They tried tariff reform for
two wears with Cleveland as Prcsi-
dent and it did not amount to q hill
of string beans. They have not the
uaity or backbone to legislate either
on silver or the tariff.

\ wOman's heart and her head
rarely go hand in hand, TO use a com-
mon expression. Once in a while
they can be found nicely balanced,
but, as a rule. either one or the other
is on top. a pretty young oma
with a strong intellect will often have
a great many admirers, but she will
seldom know the ecstatic bliss of true
love because her head won't let her.
When reason is called upon TO act as
arbiter between conflicting emotions
love always seeks moro cOngenial
companionship. Love and logic never
did travel together and never will.
That's the reason so MANY old maids
are strong minded and insist upon
wearing trousers and otherwise de-
porting themselves like men. Their
intellects caused their hearts to shrirel
up and rattle about in their chests
until all the men were frightened
away and they were compelled TO
meander through life unloved and
alone. If one of these politicians in
pctticoats could feel the strong EN-
brace of some man who really loved
her and would quietly and meekly
yield to the surging emotions within
her own heart, she would in a short
time forget all about the crimes of
statesmen. But after all, these ancient
maidens who make a pretense of
laughing at love and calling it a mere
idle sentiment fit for boys and girls,
be blamed for remaining sin gle
all their lives. After they once pass
the dead line-30 years-therc is small
hope OF any man falling in love with
them, unless it be an old case that

ft.reseen combination of circum-
