THE YOUTHS CORNER.
DECORATION DAY. ,

Do you know what it means, you boys and
girls,
Who hail from the North and the South:
Do YOU know what it means
This twining OF green's
Round the silent lannon's mouth;
This strewing with flowers the grass grow
grave;
This decking with garlands the statues brave;
This Haunting of flags.
All In tatterS and rags:
This marching and singing;
These bells all ringing;
These faces grave and these faces gay;
This talk OF the Blue and this talk OF the Gray;
In the North and the South Decoration Day?
Not simply show time boys and girls,
Is this day Of falling fowers:
Not pageant, play,
Nor holiday
OF flags and floral bowers;
It ia something more than the day that starts
War memories a. throb in veteran hearts;
For, across the years.
To the hopes and fears,
To the days Of battle.
OF roar and of rattle
To the Past that now seems so far away,
Do the sons of the Blue and the sons OF the
Gray
Gaze-hand clasping hand-Decoration Day.
For the wreck and the wrong of it, boys and
girls,
For the terror and loss, as WELL
Our hearts must hold
A regret untold
As we think of those who fell.
But their blood. on whichever side they fought,
Remade the Nation and Progress brought!
We forget the woe;
For we live, and know
That the fighting and signing,
The falling and dying.
Were but steps toward the Future-the Mar
tyrs way.
Adown which the sons of the Blue and the
Gray
Look, with love and with pride, Decoration Day.

rison administration an issue in the
canvass. The republican party is well
aware that it will be thrown on the de-
fensive the moment it presents Harri-
son again for the suffrages of the peo-
Pile. and it is seeking out the antiquities
and absurdities of the party in its eff
fort to escape from a campaign in which
the Harrison administration would be
closely scrutinized. The perfunctory
forms of approval of the administration
in state platforms count for little by
comparison with the manifest desire OF
the party to escape a test vote on the
popularity of the administration.
But willy nilly the republican party
must try to carry President Harrison
through another campaign. No presi-
dent ever used federal appointments for
personal purposes as has Gen. Harrison,
and these officeholders have grip on
delegations which cannot be shaken at
Minneapolis. To be sure the patronage
of New York state allotted to Thomas
c. Platt has been used against the pres
ident, but he had every reason to ex-
pect such use of it, if he had even the
ordinary knowledge Of Mr.. Platt's rec
ord as the most eminent political in
CRATE of the times. But Mr.. Platt,
whose hostility rests on his fantastical-
ly egotistic notion that he should have
been appointed secretary of the treas
ury. is source of strength rather than
of weakness to the president. Much as
the republicans of New York have lost
faith in Harrison, they have still less
faith in Thomas c. Plat, and his hOstil-
ity is the one factor that gives the pres
ident such support as he now commands
in this state. In Pennsylvania, the in
herent weakness of the president is
counteracted by the intense disgust
with Senator Quay. The republican
party would be glad to be rid of Harri-
son, but it would find vastly more en-
joyment in thwarting Platt, Quay,
Clarkson and Foraker than in depriv-
ing the president of his denomination.
The president has shown the shrewd
ness OF the sharp, selfish politician. In
those states that are not controlled by
a big boss his ofIiceholders as rule
have secured delegations favorable to
denomination. and in those states which
are controlled by detested bosses he is
availing himself of the bitter feeling
against them to counteract his own I'M
popularity. The president has played
his cards well to win the denomination
in the face of almost certain defeat at
the polls. The Harrison intrigue will
prove quite as strong at Minneapolis as
the conspiracy of his enemies.-Albany

A REMARKABLE STATEMENT.
An Instance of the Ridiculous Claims Oh
Republicans.

An Instance of the Ridiculous Claims Oh
Republicans.
The republicans of Illinois pledge
their unfaltering support to such
further restrictive tariff legislation as
shall guarantee to American working
men immunity to the utmost from the
cheapening and degrading influence of
free trade foreig competition"
The men who so pledge themselves
are continually assuring the people in
their speeches and through their press
organs that this very tariff legislation
cheapens the fairfield articles. They
tell the workingman that their legisla-
ton protects him against the cheaper
ing" influence of free competition, and
at the same time that it cheapens the
products of his labor, out of the price
of which his wages must come.
The wages of the operative in a
wooden mill, for example, must come
out of the prices obtained for the goods
produced. But the Mckinley organs
tell him daily that the tariff taxes on
imported wooden goods reduce the
prices of the goods he helps to produce.
How, then. can those taxes guarantee
him against the cheapening influence
of free competition?
Tariff taxes cannot give him higher
wages than he would get without them
if they reduce the prices of his products.
The tariffite states an untruth at one
end or the other of his argument.
Either a tariff tax raises the price of
the product on which it is laid-the
home as we'll as the foreign product
or it cannot raise the wages of the
workman who makes the product. If
it raises the price the tariffite states an
untruth when he asserts that it lowers
the price: if it lowers the price he
states an untruth when he asserts that
it gives the workman higher wages
and protects him against ''the cheaper
ing and degrading influence of free
trade foreign competition"
At one end or the other of the line
the advocate of trade restriction states
what is not true. And it is irnmaterial
at which end. Let him abandon either
statement as false and the people will
condemn his policy. On the one
hand, they have no love for a policy
which will compel them to pay ex-
orbitant prices forever, and, on the
other hand, they would reject policy
which they believed would unnaturally
depress wages by depressing prices

DISTANT VISION.

Curious Effects of a Clarified Atmosphere.
Owing to it's varying and irregular
refraction the atmosphere sometimes
plays strange tricks. Everyone is ia
miliar with the phenomenon known as
mirage. in which landsca pes and objects
too distant to be seen under ordinary
circumstances are brought into view.
and sometimes appear as if suspended
in the air before the astonished spec
tator. Unusual c1earness of the atmos-
phere is condition not unlikely to be
accompanied by such effects. During
last summer several remarkable in
stances occurred of the visibility of very
distant objects, due to peculiar con-
dition of the air.
In July the atmosphere over the Med
iterranean sea was uncommonly clear,
and on two days in that month inhab BIZ
tants of Malta and Coco, standing on
the shores of their islands, were able to
see the cliffs on the coast of Sicily, and
the great cone of Mount Etna clearly
outlined against the blue sky, although
the distance is more than hundred
miles, and ordinarily the objects named
are completely invisible. Owing to the
peculiar retroactive effect of the air,
Sicily appeared at Malta to be lifted up
into sight from behind the horizon.
Another instance in which atmos-
pheric refraction probably played an
important part is furnished by the ex-
perience of Capt. Ingraham of the
steamer Penobscot, plying on the coast
of Maine.
One night last summer the captain
was able to see Simulta neouSly the
lights on Thatcher's island, Isles OF
Shoals, Boone island, York harbor,
Cape Elizabeth, Seguin island and
Monhegan. The distance from Thatch-
er's island to Monhegan is eighty-seven
miles. 1t is said that this is only the
second time on record that all these
lights have been seen at once.-fouth's

REPUBLICAN, HYPOCRISY.
The Party That Poses Aggregation

of Saints.
THE democrats never keep the
pledges in their platforms, except those
which they make in favor of the liquor
traffic" Thus speaks an organ which
stands for republicanism whether it de-
clare in favor of a tariff for revenue
only or for the maintenance of a war
tariff even at the expense of free whis-
ky. The sentence is an Indication of
the too general tendency to hypocrisy
and can't The organ thus Offe nding
quotes the passage of canal bill by
the legislature of New York and its
veto by Gov. Flower. OF the merits of
the case the organ is as ignorant as of
other matters of daily occurrence. But
it seeks opportunity to deceive a class
of voters against whom it has raised
the most impudent cutlery and asks
that those who have been denounced
by it as enemies of free schools should
turn to the support of its hypocrisy be-
cause defeat has made change of posi-
ton imperative.
Let this organ of cant turn to the
history of it's party and discover
single pledge made in the interest of
the plain people that has been re-
deemed. 1t may commence at the
earliest date and examine the frauds
by which the many were cheated that
the few might be enriched during the
rebellion. And it may follow through
the promises of honest treatment of the
war indie btedness down to the latest
pronunciamento favoring the policy of
maintaining the parity of gold and
silver. 1t may look at Belknap saved
from disgrace by the prompt accept
ance of his resignation, and to whisky
ring whose prosecution resulted in
greater injury to the faithful attorneys
than to the criminals, who had secured
pull close to headquarters of justice.
1t is time for a cessation of this sense
less pretense of a monopoly of decency
by republican organs. They have
been sponsors for the most craven sub
mission to public enemies by a party
that processes to stand for the best ele-
ment of the population. 1t has condoned
the crimes of line of demagogues never
matched in civilized history. 1t has
drawn to it's inner councils every I'M
clean pretender of piety and every
blatant hypocrite who knows how to
masquerade in stolen garments of de-
cency. When a republican organ can
point to single instance of party
loyalty to pledges it will be time for
them to challenge the fair intent of
their opponents.-Chicago Times.
