A work ingman who seems to have good head on his shoulders, writes as follows:
 l. Do not allow paupers and criminals of ,any nationality fo land on our shores.
 9. Let it be the duty of government to stop all Estrikes by compelling employers and em- ployes to submit to arbitration.
 B. Reduce the standard time of~a days labor to correspond with the' progress of inventions which throw workmen out of employment.
 Destroy all combines which tend to increase the'price of the necessaries of life
 5. See to it that all classes of people are properlyi represented in State Legislature and Congress, since they know better than others what is wanted in their special departments of industry.

PREsIDENT-E ELECT CLEvELAND'S Re form club speech gave great satisfaction to Ithe democrats in congress, but so much cannot be said for the misunder- standing, not to call it what some demo- crats do, which resulted in an apparent slight to Speaker Crisp at the hands, of the managers of the banquet. If Speaker Crisp had not been wanted he should not have been asked. He occu- pies to-day the highest official position controlled by the democratic party, and no matter whether one agrees with all his views. or nor he is entitled to respect and consideration from every democrat.
 Democrats who opposed MT Crisp's election toL. the speakership of the present house, and who will, oppose his election. to the speakership of the next house, are outspoken in their denuncia- tion of the mismanagement which allowed MT Crisp to furnish the press with copies of his speech and then did not give him an opportunity to deliver it. They regard it as slight to his off. cial position and not to him personally.

 oFFIcz-267 South Main Street.

SENATOR VOORHEES,, whose political wisdom teeth.were cut some years ago, rightly characterizes' the idea that the republicans really wish to see the demo- crats control the senate of the fifty third congress, las absurd. Said he: ''The idea that the republicans Twill stand back or give in an inch is as ridiculous as, the story that the'demo- crats are afraid to meet the issue and organize the senate, and the last is an insult to the intelligence of every demo- crat. We will assume all responsibility andiwe are ready to begin tomorrow if need be. The democratic partyi can be depended upon to do two things-re- move the unjust burdens of taxation from the necessaries of life, :.and.. d..provide the necessary revenue for the govern ment. The republicans are prone to talk of. our mistakes. a We have made mistakes, but theirs have been crimes"
