Good Habits.

Remember, boys, before you are
twenty you must establish a character
that will serve you all your life. AS
habits grow stronger every year, aud
turning into a. new path more and
more difficult, it is often harder to
unlearn than to learn: and. on this
account a famous musician used to
charge double price o those pupils
who had been taught before by a poor
master. Try and reform a lazy, un-
thrifty, or drunken fellow, and in
most cases youNwiIl lail, fer the bad
habit, whatever it may be-, hae so
wound itself into the life that it can
not be uprooted. The best habit is

The INDEPENDENT hopes that,
shortly after President Cleveland is
inaugurated, he will convene Congress
in extra session for the purpose of
revising the tariff schedules. The
people decided last Tuesday, by an
overwhelming majority, that the tariff
is a tax paid by the consumer. The
sooner their verdict is crystallised
into law the better it will be for the
American people. Place the heaviest
burdens on the rich and tighten
those borne by the poor.

THE DEMOCRATIC DILEMMA.

Unless all signs fail the approaching
presidential canvass will find the Dem
ocratic party hopelessly divided on the
matter OF issues and torn asunder on
the question OF candidates, and it is al
ready beaten before the fight begins.
In fact if present indications can be
relied upon, it has not entered a cam
paign in the past quarter OF a century
with so little hope of success. 1t is
quite true, as Senator Vest aiIirms,
that the only salvation OF the old hulk
is in its time-honored policy of coward
ly dodging the silver question.
With peculiar irony, however, the
same dispatches that convey the sem
ator's sage advice bring the intelligence
OF the determination Of the Democratic
majority of the house to force the pas
sage OF free coinage measure. Senator
Festa warning that the party is "hope-
lessly divided" on that question will be
OF no avail, and it is not at all probable
that Democratic chances would be rem
dered better, even should his advice be
needed. That is to say, at this critical
moment the old policy of cowardce and
evasion will not avail and the old mas
querader must face the music and pay
for it at the same time.
In short, the Democratic party is be-
tween the devil and the deep sea, and
whether 1t turns its puzzled face towards
the western silver mines or in the di-
rection OF Wall street gold bugs, defeat
ard disaster stares it in the face. Its
only alternative is to cover itself with
saekcloth and ashes and utter wailings
and lamentations about the "robber tar
iil' and with Col. Bill Springer as the
prophet, cry REFORM" REFORM" but
