1T is not unusual to hear it as
serted that protection mean higher
prices to the farmer, to the me-
chanic and to the manufacturer.
In the same lreath it is asserted
that the cost of living is not in.
creased. How can this be! If pro
lection increases the price Of the
farmers products, why is it that
the cost of living is not increased!
If protection cause wheat, potatoes,
butter and eggs to bring higher
prices, does it not cost more for the
laboring man to live? Possibly
the high tariff prophets assume
that the cost Of living is not in
creased because he and his family
eat less when prices advance.

THE GERMANS ARE FOR HIM.

The German-American leaders
of the country, headed by suct
men as Carl Schurz. Henry VIllard
and others haV C issued an address
hat is destined to play an imports
ant and influential part in the
pending Presidential Il
emenates from men who command
respect ard attention and appeals
to a sturdy element that has grown
to be an important factor in Amer
lean politics.
1t is a confident sign Of the times
that the German vote of the United
States, is always to be found oP-
posed to oppressive and needless
taxation III whatever name aud
form it may be levied. They &C.
quire with wonderful alacrity the
Catholic spirit of our Democratic
institutions, which embody their
highest and best ideals of human
government, and they love this
country from an innate love of
popular freedom,
Believing thus, in this contest
they cannot help being for such g
man as Grover Cleveland.
AS the Kansas City Star very
strongly puts it: "Between euch
a people and a publicist like Grover
Cleveland there is a natural sym
pathy. The Democratic nominee
for President stands for all those
ideas and fprincipies which the
Germans revere. His sturdy fiber
appeals to their admiration, and
his courage and honesty inspire
confidence in his leadership. The
system against which he has array
ed himself is logically abhorrent to
the Germans, whose natural thrift
makes them advocates for the
rights of fair competition. The
Cleveland ideathat taxation should
be limited to the actual needs of
the Government, judiciously adj
ministered, is in perfect harmony
with tie German standard of econ
omy and German antipathy to
public profigacy and corruption"
The German vote in New York
State and the Northwestern States
is a very potential factor in this
contest and if it is cast, as every
indication would now point it will
be cast, it will 20 far toward de-
terminiDg the Presidential result.
That it will be found on the eide
of Grover Cleveland and Governs
mental reform and good goyern-
ment there is not the slightest
reason to doubt.

The Cholera Peril.

The fact that cholera has found
a lodgment i'm London, with all the
prec4ut.ons taken to halt it's ad-
vance, is an admonition to us that
the advent of The dread plague t.
our land. is more than possible.
There is no occasion for panic, but
there is occasion for the utmost
vigilance in the enforcement OF
quarantine regulations at all our
ports.
1t would be well for us to be
prepared in advance for the COM
ing of cholera, for it will be litt.c
less than a miracle ii VIC shall Gu
tirely escape it. The greatest f."
to the black scourge of the indies
is cleanliness; cleanliness Of homes;
cleanliness of streets; cleanliness
of person. Every centre of ii tn
in a city is a breeding pool for
cholera, and the authorities should
take the promptest and most radi-
cal caeures to cleanse the city
thoroughly. We have sections OF
Philadelphia, notably in the down
town foreign districts, where filth
reigns supreme in everything; in
food, in beds, IN streets, and in
persons, end they are the plauge
spots of the community. A good
clean up is needed in such locali-
ties on general principles, but is
specially needed il view of tn:
possible coming of cholera.
Fortunately the march of chole-
ra has been delayed until we are
near the close of the summer sea-
son when it always reaches its
greatest sweep of destruction; bns
there is yet time tor a malady SO
swift and deadly in it's progress TO
become epidemic in our midst.
The peril is more than ample to
inspire us to employ the best eani-
tary methods for self-preservatior;
and the first STEP to be taken after
the strictest quarantine, is univer-
sal cleanliness.
IICiI CuOlGI0 UCCOiDCc ctidCtiliC
in any country fully four fittbs OF
its victims, and probably many
more, are made easy prey of the
plague by the prostration Of fright.
Fright is the most enervating OF
all causes outside of actual disease,
aud it is fright that gives to chol.
era its most appalling sacrifice. AS
a rule, there is little peril ever
from epidemic cholera if there is
no special mental strain and the
system is toned up by healthy
food and the usual sanitary OBJ,
servanccs. Of course, it is not safe
to count confidently on escaping
such a deadly malady even with
the utmost precautions. but when
the danger must be faced, there is
only in scrnpulous are and
cool philosophy. = Ih1adlphia

PROPOSED BY WIRE.

A farmer entered a telegraph Office
in Central New York and sent this
message to a woman in Canada:
will you be my wife? Please
answer 1t once by telegraph"
Then he sat down and waited. No
answer came. He waited till late in
the evening; still no answer.
Early the next morning he came in
again, and was handed Dispatch
an affirmative reply.

thy. Twas little rough to keep
you so long in suspense"
Look here, young feller,' said the
farmer, "Ill stand all the suspense.

OLD AUNT PEGGY.

When the war was over old Aunt
Peggy went to Monsieur, and said:
"Massa, l amt never gwine to
quit yer I'm gettin' ole an feeble,
an my DAYS is lew in dis heah lam O
sorrow an sin. All | axes is a lille
co'ner whar kin set down an wait

Monsieur and Madame were very
much touched at this mark of affec
ton and fidelity from Aunt Peggy.
So, in the general reconstruction of
the plantation which immedia tely
followed the surrender, nice cabin,
pleasantly appointed, was set apart
for the old woman. Madame did
not even forget the very comfOrta bic
rocking-ch in which Aunt Peggy
might set down." as she herself
touchingly expressed it, an wait fu
de en-"
She has been rocking ever since.
At intervals of about two years
Aunt Peggy hobbies up to the house,
| aud delivers the stereotyped address
which has become more than famil-
lar:
"Mistress, Is come to take a las
look at you all. Lee me look at you
good. Lee me look at de chiilun-
the big chillun an the lille chillun.
Lee me look at de picters an de
photographs an de piany an
everything TO it's too late. One
eye is done gone, an de udder's
a-gwine fas'. Any mo'nin' yo' po'
ole Aunt Peggy gwine wake up an
fin herself stOne-bline."
After such a visit Aunt Peggy
invaria bly, returns to her cabin with
| a generously filled apron.
The scruple which Monsieur one
time felt in supporting a woman for
so many years in idleness has entire
ly disappeared. OF late his attitude
towards Aunt Peggy is simply one of
profound OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES at
the surprising age which an old
black woman may attain when she
sets her mind to it, for Aunt Peggy
is hundred and twenty-five, SO she
says.
1t may not be true, how
ever. Possibly she is older From

on almost any earthenware, and
that it is practical ruin to fine grades

and declare that they are not injured

time are covered with tiny lines OF

ton that he was his own grand
father. Here is the singular letter
that he left: Il married widow

father visited our house very often,
fell in love with my step-daughter,
and married her. SO my father be-
came my son-in-law and my step
daughter my mother, because she
was my ia theirs wife. Some time af-
forwards my wife had son; he was
my fathers brother-in-law and my
uncle, for he was the brother OF my
stepmother. My fathers wife,. G.,
my stepdaughter, had also a son;
he was, of course, my brother, and
in the meantime my grandchild, for
he was the son Of my daughter. My
wife was my grandmother, because
she was my mothers mother. Twas
