An Even Thing.

The other day two strangers were
toasting their shins on opposite sides
of big stoye in ferry waiting. room
and it was noticed that they often
looked at each other as If almost certain
that they had met before. Finally one
of them got up and SAID
"Stranger, Ive seen a face almost
like yours. Did you ever have a broth

Yes.

Did you hear of him last about ten
years ago?
Yes. just about ten years ago.
Stranger, continued the first, seeming
greatly affected, I've sailed with your
brother Bill. We were wrecked to-

you must be related. I'm awful sorry
it was your brother. ard though I was
driven to it, and the law can't touch

and tough. About how much DO you

The other wiped tear from his eye,

At a meeting and banquet of the
New York Tariff Reform Club, Tues
day evening, December 23d, Mr.. Cleve-
land responded to the toast, "The
Campaign of Education," and his
speech was eloquent, forceful and
truthful. We append a short extract:
No one who remem bers the hilarity
with which the leaders of the Repub
lican party greeted the message of
tariff reform and the confidence with
which they prepared to meet and
crush the issue presented can fail to
see how useful a lesson has been
taught them in our campaign of edu-
cation.
Within twenty-four hours after the
submission to Congress of the question
of tariff reform sundry Senators and
Representatives belonging to the Re
publican party were reported to have
jauntily ventilated their partisan ex-
ultation in the public press.
If it be true that a Senator from
Nebraska said lit is big card for the
Republicans, this big card cannot
appear remarkably useful to him now,
riosity in the shape of a Democratic
governOr-elect.
If theiunior Senator from New York
declared that his party would carry
this State by the largest majority ever
known if they could be given the
platform proposed, the reply will
come when in a few days Democratic
colleague is placed by his side.
If a Senator from Maine declared
ait is good enough platform for the
Republicans-we want nothing bet
ter, :" how is it that he is now SO dill
gently endeavOring to find out the
meaning of the word reciprocity?
If New Hampshire Senator be-
lieved that 1.-the Republicans want
nothing better with which to sweep
the country" the trouble his State is
giving him to day must lead him to
suspect there is a mistake somewhere.
fla Senator from Wisconsin gleeful-
" said he was glad to see us "shOw our
hand,n he cannot fail to be convinced.
when he soon gives place to real
good, sound Democrat, that there was,
after all, more in the hand than he
cared to see.
If the present Speaker of the House
sarcastically said sit only shows what
fools all the other presidents have
been" he may well be excused, since
he has lately so thoroughly learned
that in the sight of the people infalli-
bility is not an attribute always to be
found in the Speakers chair.
If the Representative from Ohio
whose name is associated with a bill
which has given his party consider
able trout BILE of late said elf the Demo-
cratic party had hired Burchard to
write a stump speech it could not
have suited us BETTER" it must be
that circumstances leading to his APP
preaching retirement from public life
have suggested modification of his
Judgment.

Good Republicans but Poor Farmers

The Republican members of the
Washington county Farmers and La
borers' Union have come to realize
that the principles of the Union are
not in accord with those of the g. o. p;
and as practical farmers" number
of them have decided to Withdraw
from the Union and continue in their
support of the men and party that
invariably favor the aristocracy and
plutOcracy of the East, at the expense
of the West. Here is the manifesto
these Washington county statesmen
issue in explanation of the causes that
''impel them to the separation:
WHEREAS, The Farmers Alliance
and subsequently +. & l.. L. are of
southern origin and at the State con-
vention OF the +. Il l.. T., held at Sc

views of the Democratic party, and
WHEREAS, TIE county Union of
Washington county, Mo held at Bel
grade did ratify the action of said
State Convention and did condemn
the action of the 5lst. Congress for
protecting Americans and American
interests from ruinous competition
with foreign and convict labor and the
products of same, and
WHEREAS, The said county Union
denounced the Hon. VIM. NJ. Kinsey,
why has stood so nobly by Republi-
canism and the varied interests of his
district, and
WHEREAS. After denouncing the
principles of the Republican party
generally and commencing the prin-
ciples of the Democratic party in par
ticular, they then resolved that they
believed it to the interest of the +. u
l.. U. at the coming election to support
the nominees of the party Endorsed,
and
WHEREAS, At the late National f
81. L. the Federal Election Bill was
denounced and the old Democratic
doctrine of state rights endorsed.
WHEREAS, The F. & l.. L. has by
its Endorsement of the principles of
the Democratic party from its county
to it's National Unions become an open
ally of the Democratic party endorsing
not only it's men and measures of to-
