and at twelve years of age she had estab-
lished a little sheet called The Idea, in
which were published short stories en-
bodying the types Of human nature that
came within her ken into the characters
that formed the personnel of her narratives.
A few advertisements, solicited by herself
from storekeepers in the neighborhood,
sufhced to pay the expenses of printing
her little paper, and her subscription
list at one time numbered 500 names.
1t was in this journal she published a
sketch entitled Jack O. Hearts" in which
a little urchin's efforts were successful in
reuniting a pair of lovers, who through a
slight misunderstanding had become es-
tranged, and for which she received a con-
gratulatory letter from Louisa Alcott, who
expressed herself as deeply touched by the
truth and pathos with which she had
treated the incident.
Her father's death occurring before
many years elapsed developed her self
reliant nature. She studied e%locution,
vocal and physical culture a%ssiduously,
and evolved herself into what she has be-
come-one of the most versatile and de-
lightful lyceum and drawing room enter
talners of the day. Reciting poems of
sentiment and pathos with undeniable
skill, yet it must be acknowledged that it
is in the domain of comedy and caricature
that she is destined to make her most
shining mark. Her description of the
"Countryman at the Oratorio," which is
largely an original composition, inasmuch
as its most salient and humorous features
are the result of her own creation, never
fails, in professional parlance, to "bring
down the house" and secure her recall
after recall as she skillfully and artistical-
ly, in imitation of voices and instruments,
works up the ensemble of ~soloists and or
chestration to q climax that convulses her
audience with laughter. During the re-
cent London season she has given this in
imitable characterization at the Charter
house Bazaar, Mansion House, Grosvenor
and Gallery clubs and The Salon, calling
forth the same enthusiasm that it has
evoked in the drawing rooms of folks of

The Party OF Destruction.

The Democratic party-by their plat
form, by Cleveland's notification speech,
by Watterson's vehement declarations,
by the historic nature and associations
of the party-is destructive, and is COM
mitted to destroy protection and reci-
procity. The party goes down upon that
presentation. New York will be exem-
plary in the destruction of the Destroy
ers, and it may very easily happen that
Louisiana will turn out-on sugar boun-

If MI. Cleveland is to be elected presi-

Oh the part Of foreign nations. All
that the earlies school Of protectionists

We needed to become independent of

Injurious competition with the pauper

intolerable burden in time of peace
upon the resources Of the country and
the workingman, for whose benefit -
this burden is maintained, is forced to
show his appreciation Of his blessings
by going out of work in order to resist
reduction of his wages The Excess
sive solicitude of Republican million
aires and tariff lords for the good OF
their employees is truly wonderful.
We hazard nothing in the assertion
that not one Republican in hundred
throughout all New Castle county
really believes that the high protective
tariff now prevailing results in ;he
public good, but fidelity to party. and
that alone, will probably induce the
most Of them to endorse it because
Protection is their party's shibboleth.
There can be no doubt about this.
The theory of Protection is a wicked
wrong because it harnesses and distress
es the multitude for the benefit of the
few. 1t beggars millions-or keeps
them in proverty at least-while max
ing millionaires of small class cf gov
ernment favorities. Who was it that
urged Major Mckinley onward in its
formulation and passage I? Was it
poor men, farmers, laborers or skilled
mechanics, or was it the capitalists of
our land ? You agree that it was the
latter. Were they not then expect
ing pecuniary advantages from it ? OF
course they were, otherwise they
would not have interested themselves
in its passage.
Republican orators and newspapers
have the impudence TO tell us that the
protective tariff is all in the interest of
workingmen. This is known TO be un-
true. Wages are not higher now than
they were under q more moderate
tariff. We know of no instance where
workingmen have been allowed share
of the increased receipts that have
come to manufacturers through the new
tariff. 1t has been the reverse. Wage
have been cut down in hundreds of ins
stances, and strikes to maintain the
old rates of pay are an everyday oc-
currence.
1t is idle to 60 into details. The one
truth stands out boldly and plainly that
the tariff is rightly named a robber
tariff. 1t robs the masses for the pur-
pose only of adding dollars to the
wealth of the capitalists, trusts and
comb bines of various sorts. 1t ought
to be reformed, and there is but one
way to achieve this result, elect
Grover Cleveland and Democratic
Congress.
