ONE of the fairest of all the debaters on
the tariff and among the most profound
statesmen of the country man who is
above the tricks of small political orators
and who scorns the mis-statements of
special pleaders-John G. Carlisle says:
Whatever makes it easier for people to
live decently and comfortably, whatever
makes the necessaries of life which the
people are bound to buy and use cheaper
and less expensive TO the masses. is n
blessing to mankind and have never
been able TO appreciate the wisdom of
that policy which compels men
to work longer and harder in
order to procure food, raiment
and shelter for themselves and their
families; | have never been able TO ap-
preciate, either, the economic truth or the
humanity of the proposition that the
people can be made happy and prosper
Gus by taxation whether the purpose of
that taxation be to defray eXtravagant
expenditures on the part Of the Govern
ment, or to increase the prices which the
people pay for what they eat, drink and
wear
Who can dispute the broad propositions
AAtA AhMAA AiAiANk acknowledgements anu lnt
tin plate spectators, McGrath and the
lamp-chimney robbers, Carnegie, FriclS
and the crowd Of American labor lovers,
all these and all interested benefciaries
subsidized with them oppose this phil
osophy with precisely the same
cry that old Demetrius of old
opposed the gospel Of Jesus that
Paul bore to Greece We are making
money by this craft and we do not care a
fig for any gospel that viii lift the bur
den from the people. Take care of us and
we win take care Of the people. Even old
Iieliogabalus or Nero himself could not
have professed worse doctrine than
that of those industrial impcrialists of
the Republican party "Givo us, they
said, "the revenues Of Rome and all of
her provinces and we will provide the
people with corn to keep them from
starving and furnish the Pretorian
guard with the plumber Of any territory

Mrs. simpson, of Philadelphia Says Her
Boy Resembles the Dead Boy.
Deputy Coroner Giles this morning re-
ceived the following letter
"PHruApELPHIa, Aug. 70.
DEAR SIR Your description of the boy
corresponds with that OF my boy in the feat
ures and pants. but, as for the coat and shoes
! cannot say positively although he might
have changed them since he left home. / en-
close his picture which was taken about two
years ago. The features are like him now
although my boy has grown. Did You take
notice III the dead boy had q lump ON his left
armf Tho lump was caused by my boy having
his arm broken and having il set wrong. II so
he was my boy. Hoping to hear from you
soon again Iremain yours etc,
MRS. SIMPSON.
No. 1888 MOntrOse street, Philadelphia.
The foregoing letter is the result of q
correspondence between Deputy Coroner
Giles and Mrs Simpson in relation to the
unknown boy who was killed at the West
Yard abont three weeks ago and whose
body was inferred in the Almshouse
burying grounds without being identi-
fed. Mrs Simpson enclosed a photo
graph with the letter which greatly re-
sembles the boy except no protuding
teeth are seen.
Coroner Sparks says the picture does
notlook like thesunidentified boy while
Deputy Giles says it resembles him
slightly. The picture enclosed was
taken two years ago and it would be
hard to compare them now
The coroner also says that there
were no marks on his body nor any
Jumps as the letter states. Deputy
Coroner Giles will go to Philadelphia to-
morrow and wait upon Mrs. Simpson
about the matters.

A c0lored man lynched in New Yorl,
and a colored man threatened bya mob at
Leavenworih, Kansas IL cannot bel OH
no. We are dreaming The people of
the North love the negro; the people of
the South hate and kin him. Facts are
difficult things TO handle The hyster-
ical, bloody-shirt, half-educated partisans
OF the North prate about the
sins Of the people of the South as
if they belonged to a race Of man
eating savages because they hurry a
lustful negro TO the nearest tree in
sparsely settled counties where legal
justice is distant, slow and uncertain.
The people of the North do not have the
negro 90 deal with; they do not compre-
hond the conditions existing at the South
their own wives and young daughters are
safe They say the Southern people
are lawless When however, negro
committed a rape within twenty miles
of New York city, he was lynched.
When another negro commits rape on
q young white woman in bleeding Kan
sas a white mob gathers, and the negroes
gather to prevent one of their brethren
from being lynched. These incidents
seem like retribution for all of the ignor-
ant and vindictive abuse the Northern
orator and the Northern newspapers
have hurled at the South, because they
do not have the negro with them and do
not know his ways

1T is rumored that the ameer is nego-
tiating with the rebels, and is anxions to
settle with them onany terms, owing to the
increasing complications within and be-
You'd his borders. The most serious
feature of the situation is the Russian
activity on the Pamirs and the suspicion
that Russian intrigue is at the bottom of
the Hazara revolt.
The Times correspondent at Simla
says: "The ameer's guarded reply to

satisfactory under the circumstances.
He could not be expected to fix a date
until the Hazaras are suppressed

PRESIDENT HARRISON is still having
trouble with the Force bill issue in his
letter Of acceptance. His cabinet is
divided and he is undecided If he takes
the same course he has taken heretofore
in urging the Force BILL he will lose the
whites and the blacks too at the south,
and solidify the whites of all class es
against a return of negro domination in
the southern states. If he condemns the
Force bill movement he antagonizes the
negroes and the bloodyshirt element al
the North It is difficult to be sly and
courageous at the same time, or in fact
to be sly and honest.

either shown a fitness and willingness to
do that work or because they have given
pledges to do IT, Even H. c. Conrad,

ASPIRATION.

Calling from the mystic distance.
Voices low and sweet / hear;
Night and day with strange persistence
Call these voices soft and clear.
Call from hill and shadowy dingle,
From the river and the sea;
With all sounds the voices mingle,
Always do they plead with me.
In the mart's discordant noises,
Through the strife and din of gain,
Sing these sweet mysterious voices,
Sing their pure, unworidly strain. /:
When hear them low and sweetly ~
Pierce the worlds tumultuous din,
Other sounds lose completely,
And my life seems poor and thin.
Then my soul is strongly lifted
Far above earths petty jars,
By some sweeping current drifted
With the current of the stars.
o my voices come still nearer,
Take me from the world apart,
Sing to me your songs yet clearer
Make your home within my heart.
Anon.
