d. Morgan Hildreth, who was elected
to the assembly last year by the Repub-
licans of the Tven,y-frst district, has
written letter to John Proctor Clarke,
president Of the Republican organize
ton of that district, in which he says:
Permit me to tender to the Repub-
hcan organization through you my resig-
nation as a member thereof. Up TO the
present time have actively co.operated
with Republicans, and in 80 doing was
actuated by belief that the platform
OF the two great parties represented the
sincere principles of government which
were placed in issue in each succeeding
election.

Mr.. Hildreth goes on TO say that the

The Royal Blue Line.
WHAT AN EMINENT RAtIROADER
THINKS OF IT.

Those who have used the Roya
Blue Line between Philadelphia and
New York, well know that line is
deservedly accredited as being the
finest piece of railroad in the country:
that its coaches are the most mag
nifcent, and that its trains run more
smoothly and are the fastest in the
world. To those, however, who have
never used the Roval Blue Line, the
following abstract from letter written
by an eminent railroad authority to a
gentleman connected with the Read
ing Railroad System, will doubtless
prove interesting. After the usual
formal greetings, the letter reads:
'I have just taken my first ride on the
Reading, having come over from
New York this morning on your II. 30
A. NJ. Royal Blue Line train, and
cannot refrain from coneratulating
you on being connected with so
superb railroad. We made mile
after mile in just SO seconds, and the
train ran as smoothly asthough not ex-
ceeding ten miles per hour. The
appointments were frst-class and
never had better dinner or one
better served on any dinner car"
Commentator from the source
whence this came, must have been
particularly gratifying to the Reading
1t has always been the aim of the
present Reading management to
provide the very best for its patrons,
and the service on the Royal Blue
Line, as well as on other portions OF
the System, is conclusive evidence of
success in that direction That the
discriminating public appreciate these
efforts, and recognize the fact that the
Royal Blue Line trains are as adver-
tised, the finest fastest safest in the
world, is evidenced by the constantly
increasing business on that Line.

supJECTs FOR THOUGHT.

A talent may be perfected in solitude,
o character only in the world.
Mems morals should be measured BY
the way they affect other men.
As soon as a man acquires fairly good
sense it is said that lie is an old fogy.
There is only one time when you know
exactly what man is--when he is dead.
As riches and honor forsake man, we
discover him to be fool, but nobody
could find it out in his prosperity.
To be free-minded and cheerfully dis
posed at hours of meat, sleep and exer-
else, is one of the best precepts of long
lasting
How blessed might poor mortals be in
the straitest circumstances if only their
wisdom and fidelity to Heaven and one
another were adequately great.
The golden moments in the stream Of
life rush past us, anG we see nothing but
sand the angels come to visit us, and
we only know them when they are gone.
In truly godlike man his love is pure
and unmixed, aud full of kindness, inso-
much that he canuot but love in SINGER
ity all men and things, and wish well and
do good to them and rejoice in thoir well
fare.
There never yet was any soul which
had not sufficient grace--if it had suffi-
cient fidelity to correspond with ito
escape eternal death. Keep ever in mind
this great truth, for it Is the foundation
of the whole doctrine of grace.
All friendship is founded on some kind
of sympathy, and, however different in
tastes OF in temper, in outward circum-
stances or inward character, two friends
may be, there must be really hearty
agreement in some direction TO bind
them together. This agreement, too,
must exist in certain things which fill
up good part of the thought and feeling
OF each, or the sympathy will be too
slight to form bond Of union.

A False Definition.

The statement that tariff for reve-
nue. confines the dutiable list to non
competitive products" is a false detini
ton. The Democratic platform adj
vances no such theory, The Democratic
candidate in his celebrated message to
congress clearly stated that he favored
such an adjustment of the tariff as
would conserve the interests of Ameri-
can manufacturing and American labor.
At Madison Square garden he said:
"Ours is not a destructive party. We
are not at enmity with the rights of
any of our citizens. All are our coun-
trymen. We are not recklessly heed
less of any American interests, nor will
we abandon our regard for them. ."-Ex-

The subjoined letter from t.ae Hon.
w. Bourke Cochran voices the senti-
ment of New York Democrats so admit
rably that it is given for publication by
Mr.. Howry as an encouragement to the
cause everywhere. 1t was written in
response to IN inquiry as to how the
nomination of Mr.. Cleveland was re-
ceived in New York, accompanied with
the statement that while the writer, as
an adherent of Cleveand's nomination,
had heard Mr.. Cockran's plea at Chicago
without being convinced, nevertheless
we were all interested in the stand the
Tammany and other organizations in
that state would take now that the
nomination had been made, and that no
one was SO well qualified to tell the
friends Of Cleveland in the south as tbs

Cochran is characteristic of the Tai

Their Tune Hns Changed.

Republican leaders ought to feel a lit
tie cheap themselves to be telling their
followers that things have never been So
cheap as now, when not many months
ago their present chief. whom they so
stoutly profess to worship, expressed
great contempt for cheap things, saying
that when you see cheap coat ''you
generally expect to find q cheap man un-
der it." Now the tune appears to run the
other way, and to insist that the Nc.
Kinley bill has rather depressed prices
made them cheaper instead Of making
them dearer, as it was planned TO do,
and as it has undoubtedly done.-Port-

How Much Do You Get?

Mr.. Carnegie draws q 800, 900 q year
as his part of the profits of the iron busi.
ness-that is, he gains every second
ninety-five cents; every minute, $5.70;
every hour, S343. 40; every day, "a, 100. S5;
every week, $2s, ,e46.50; every month,
$125,O0O. How much do you get out of
the tariff? Let every man answer this
question for himself, remembering that
every dollar Carnegie makes is pure
bounty, according to the statement of
the protectionists, because, if they tell
the truth. manufactures would not pay
at all in this country but for this blessed
tariff. Salem IN. c. Peoples Press.

They Brighten Only Themselves.

When Democratic papers say that the
high tariff has undoubtedly protected"
Carnegie and his partners but question
its blessings for other people, Repub-
Gcan organs accuse them of defending
lawlessness and violence, justifying
murder and encouraging attacks upon
persons and property. But those more
or less esteemed contemporaries frighten
only themselves.-Buffalo Courier.

They Hate to Face 1t.

Many Republicans do not fancy hav-
ing to face the force bill as one of the
issues of the campaign. They know
that it loses them votes, but majority
of that party is irrevocably pledged to
the enactment of such law as soon as
it has the power, SO the sensible majori-
ty must choose between voting the
Democratic ticket and swallowing the
force bill.-Yonkers IN. y Gazette.

HE BID LENA GOODBYE,

And Then Blew Out His Brains, While
Frenzied by His Troubles.
Coroner Weldon last night held an
inquest upon the remains of Adam
Clement, the unfortunate Aliso-street
feed-stable keeper who committed sui
eide on Thursday afternoon by shooting
himself in the right temple with COM
mon British bulldog revolver, the prop
erty of friend named Ryan.
The particulars of the suicide were
fully reported yesterday. The testimony
before the coroner corroborated the facts
as stated in the HERALD. A Mexican.
named Ramirez, testified that he had
seen Clements return home that he had
entered his room and had slammed the
door to. Two minutes later the witness
heard pistol shot and the falling of a
heavy body. No one had come in with
Clements, nor was there at any time any
one near his room, from the time helre-
turned until he did the deed.
Attorney Appel explained how the de-
ceased had disposed of his ranch, and
that the tale about having placed the
money in hiding place was false. AS
matter of fact, although Clements had
decided away his property, he had re-
ceived no consideration therefor, and,
consequently, he had no money to hide.
All the available cash that he had was
found on his dead body, sum OF $3.50.
The last message of the deceased to his
wife, which had been overlooked before,
was read to the jury. 1t is as follows
