IT is true that Stevenson's fidelity

most eminently recommended him
to the Democracy, He represents
the Democratic theory of civil-ser-
vice reform. -Nc70 York Sm.
With such an admission on the part
of the leading Democratic organs,
hope that Mr.. Cleveland will not
write any more essays on civil-service
reform. Stevenson represents the
spoils system, and he represents the

History of the Tomato.

The tomato has curious history. After
the revolution of San Domingo many
French families came from there to
Philadelphia, where they introduced
their favorite pomme amour. Although
introduced from South America as early
as 1896 into England, it was looked upon
with suspicion, and its specific name,
lycopersicum. derived from lykos wolf
and persicon "a peach, referring to the
beautiful but deceptive appearance Of its
fruit, intimates pretty closely the kind
of estimation in which it was held. Z
is now, however, all but universally used,
even in England.

-Four more years of Grover.

Out they go;
Then we'Il be in clover.
The above chorus of the Demo

No four years of Grover;
He's out to-day
And there he'll stay,
And never be in clover.

soldiers, hereditary mobiles, children
OF the mistresses of kings, parasites
of monarchs. The American plu-
tocracy is less dangerous to the pub
lie life than the European aristocra-
cy. The few always are selfish, al
ways are intriguing for further ag-
granaizement, and it may be admit
ted that in America they try to ac-
complish their purposes by the use
ofmoney, just as in a despotism they
try to accomplish them by force. or
as in constitutional monarchy they
use intrigue. The purpose of the
lew is uniform throughout the world;
the methods of the few vary with the
varying forms Of government.
The few are less powerful in the
United States than anyother country
and we do not believe we are mista-
kea in affirming that the power of
the few in this country is not increas-
ing, but diminishing. We point 20
the results of the two great conven-
tons as proof positive of the impo-
tence of a few clever and resolute
men in each party to overcome or to
conjolc the many. We point to the
recent adoptions Of notifications Of
the Australian ballot law in the
most Of the states as evidence that
the many are shrewd to devise meth
DDS ofprotection for their political
rights as the few are cunning to de-
wise plans of incroachment. We
point to the numerous organized la
Dor leagues, to the increasing indie
pendence of the press as evidence Of
the Increasing independence of the
many. We affirm without fear Of
cdAtradiction that there is not a
newspaper ofany note in all Amer
lca that dares to favor any encroach-
/ nt IN he rights q the mapxA.4h
! Is the many whose purchase support
the press.
We believe that there was less
bribing in the election of 1888 than
in 1884, and lessin 1884 than in 1880
and less in 1880, than in 177t
at which time it did seem tc
be a potent factor in certain
states. We feel sure the Australian
ballot, where adopted, has made and
end of this form ofpublic corruption
We admit "the corrupt use o.
money in legislation" but limit such
corrupt use to municipal state legis
lation. We do not believe that any
measure of national legislation ha,
been insured by the corrupt use o
money during the past twenty years
We affirm that there are not more
than three instances from the found
alton ofthe Republic until this day
that give so much as color to thu
charge of procurement of Nationa
legislation, by corrupt use of.money
and in none of these is there NOR,
than suspision.
We do not believe the use o
money in civil and state Legislation
is increasing, we believe such use t.
be rare in the state legislation, an,
that even in the city Legislation tn
days of the bribed and bribers ar
numbered. The world grows bette
as it grows older, the 'increasini
purpose" is a force that makes 70
righteousness"
So let us pray that come it may,
And come it will for a that,
When man to man the world DER
Shall brothers be for a that.
No fell can prevent the full &C
complishment of the divine purpos
of the rule of the many, by the man
and for the MANY.

Don't Shoot the Birds.


The paslime INDUCED in by
many Toys, and lam sorry to say
some men, OF going around with
shot guns or rifles, ard shooting our
birds; it is not l think, SO much the
cause Of cruel nature or q desire
10 give unnecessary pain, or to take
the lives of the little creatures as
it is through thoughtlessness.
They furnish an attractive mark
and test of their skill, and without
thought of the pain they cause, or
of the little life they take which
they can never restore, Of wounded
writing in pain, or of the little
ones when the parent bird is killed
dying of slow starvation. They
go from place to place in their
cruel work and .call-it sport. 90

on the grounds and shoot the song
birds which the owners Of the
premises are trying to encourage.
The grouLds of cur public schools,
where these feathared s0ngstprs
should feel as much at home as the
children their selves, are being
desecrated day alter day by taesc
seekers of sport; and many of our
feathertd friends have fallen vie
tins to their zeal.
Surely those who follow suck
past time are not aware that they
are violating the laws Of the State,
when they indulge in these cruel
sports, yet they are.
There are few things that are ex-
ternal which add more to cur hap
piness and our enjoy ment than our
song birds; that love to build near
our home, to rear their young and to
fill the air with their songs of praise
which show how much they enjoy
