THE TRUTH OF IT.

And Yet 1t Is In Reality of Every Day

The following communication is from
one of our correspondents, Mrs. Carrie
E. Martin, a lady well known and high
ly respected and who occupies a posi-
ton of the highest social distinction in
West Legion, Mass. Her experience is
of such a nature and its Importance to
many is so great and far-reaching, that
we give it to our readers in her own
words:
"Last summer l was all run down,
had chills, no appetite, very little sleep
nights and none days, faint spells,
trembling feelings and was so weak l

Still They Come.

The New York correspondent OF the
Bait. Sun under datesof the 9Th inst,
says
"Following the publication this morn
ing of Wayne MacVeagh's letter came
the ammo 1ncement this afternoon of an
other important detection from the re-
publican ranks. William Green, of
Gloversville, district attorney of Full
ton county. N. Y, who has been twice
elected to that office by the republicans,
and who is prominent in the Grand
Army of the Republic, has sent letter
to the secretary of the National Veter-
an Tariff Reform League, in which he
declares that the force bill and the Nc
Kinley bill have made him a demo-
GRAFT"
Judge Gresham, Judge Cooley, Ex-
Attorney General Wayne MacVeagh,
and District Attorney VIM. Green, are
able men, and are valuable accessions
from the Republican to the Democratic
party. The best and ablest men of the
Republican party are rapidly DESERVING
it. The union of good sense and pa
triotism is the cause. The dangerous
policy of the Republican party causes
it's best men to desert it. Read Mac
Veagh's letter and you will understand
why they leave it.

A COlOred Democrat.

News is daily being received at the
national democratic headquarters OF
the accession of prominent men hith-
erto allied to the republican party to
the democratic ranks. One of the
latest to repudiate the republican par
ty is Mr.. William A. Crosthwaite, a
prominent colored lawyer of Nashville,
Tenn. Post A. w. Wills invited by
letter Mr.. Crosthwaite to become a
republican campaign speaker, to de-
liver "a half hours talk one night or
two every week, which would be great
ly appreciated" Mr.. Crosthwaite re-
fused by letter, in which he stated that
he was true to his element, and was
constrained to believe that under the
treatment of the negro by the republi-
can party for the last twenty years no
well-in-formed colored citizen can at
this time enter the campaign for the
republican party's triumph at the
polls. During the present federal ad-
ministration the republican party has
very emphatically announced to the
the negroes of Tennessee that they are
wanted only at voting times. The
party of Sumner has lost its identity
Twenty-Five years ago it was DONNA
ted by devotions of liberty and of the
equality of men, but today it is bossed
by spoilsmen and minions of corpora
lions. 1t is no surprise to me that you
and all benefciaries of the party's
grace realize the necessity of speakers
whom the people trust" Mr.. Crosth-
waite then reviewed the treatment of
the colored people by the republican
party since the war and says he can no
longer support that party.

The Tariff is a Tax.

The manu- facturers are only pro
tected when enabled to increase the
price of their manufactured products
the tariff on manufactured products
protects the manufacturers therefore
the tariff increases the price of manu-
featured products. The increased
price of manufactured products is a
tax on the consumers of them the
tariff increases the price of them,
therefore the tariff is tax on the con-
sumers. If the tariff protects, there is
no escape from the logical conclusion
that it is tax on the consumers; and
that it does protect is evident; else it
fails to accomplish its object.
The government can only raise
money by tax; the government
raises money by tariff therefore the
tariff is tax.
The government should only tax the
people for government purposes and
not for private interests; and as the
tariff is tax, it should be for govern
ment purposes only and not for
private interests; and as that is the
Democratic idea, the Democrats are
right.

Rally, Democrats.

Don't fail to attend the Democratic
rally at the Fair Grounds next Satur-
day and enjoy the very great pleasure
of hearing Hon. w. G. P. Breckin-
ridge, of KY, discuss in an able and
eloquent manner the issues in this can
vass. We regret very much that we
will be denied that pleasure, as we will
be, at that time, in another county,
but we wish all to attend who can
possibly do SO. 1t is seldom that an
opportunity is afforded to hear such a
fine speaker. Mr.. Breckenridge is a
man of character, who would scorn to
deceive any one, an able statesman,
and fine orator.
You will not only have the pleasure
of hearing Mr.. Breckenridge, but Hon.
Holmes Conrad, one of the Electors-at-
Large ON the Democratic Electoral
ticket of Virginia, and one of the
ablest and most forcible speakers in
this State, and others. You will not
only have an intellectual feast, but a
free barbecue. Don't fail to attend.

Harrison at Allegheny Court.

The Clifton Forge Recaeao thus
speaks of the speech of our townsman
Geo. M. Harrison, made at Covingtcn
Oct. 4th =
Mr.. Harrison led off in the court
house with calm, logical and forceful
talk. He made no appeal whatever to
the passions or prejudices of the peo-
pie; but with deep earnestness proceed
ed to define the position of the two
leading parties upon the tariff ques-
ton, and then in a most impressive
manner depicted the iniquities couch
ed in that detestable measure of re-
publican origin known as the force
bill. His speech was well received and
made good impression"
The Allegheny Sentinel publishes a
summary of Mr.. Harrisons speech on
this occasion, which showed it to have
been speech of ability. We have not
the space to publish it. He discussed
first the Tariff and then the Force
Bill. In speaking of the tariff he said:--
Its results are plainly seen in the
mlllionaires and the congestion of
wealth in the manufacturing districts.
Massachusetts alone has more of the
circulating medium than the entire
South, and $4,000 men of the North
own over half the property in the
United States. The country will soon
be like Ireland, a land of landlords and
tenants, and indeed the heavy mort
cages of the West make it appear so
now. The Republicans cast loving
arms of protection around the palatia1
homes of the rich, but the homes of the
poor and the middle classes are forgot
ten. 1t is these forgotten homes that
the Democrats propose to protect.
The Force bill is the natural result
of the tariff. When party has for
thirty years been trampling upon
rights, it is but natural that thew
should think that tie country belongs
to them. Hence the bill which in the
name of fair play is to render elections
\ mockery and debase the franchise
into d hiere machine which will return
Whit its manipulation desires"

Self-Disfranchisement.
THE BALLOT A SACRED TRUST.

THE BALLOT A SACRED TRUST.
Some people are very inconsistent,
and their conduct inexplicable ON any
reasonable or patriotic grounds. Some
men who would shed their blood in
defense of the privilege of suffrage,
will practically voluntarily disfran-
chise themselves by throwing their
votes away in casting their ballots for
tickets they know cannot be elected
When a man sees that he cannot by
any possibility obtain that which is
most desirable, it is his duty to obtain
what is the next best in his opinion,
and thus avoid the worst. The Third
party and the Prohibition party both
know that in voting for their presi-
Dental tickets they are throwing their
votes away, and are thus practically
DISTINGUISHING themselves. They must
have choice as between the Demo
cratic and Republican tickets, and as
it is evident that one of these will be
elected, it is their duty to vote for one
or the other of these tickets, though it
would be their second choice, for their
first choice is unobtainable, and it is
their duty to get the next best, if pos
sible.
The privilege of the elective fran
chise is given to the citizens in trust
for the benefit of the State and coun-
try, and it is the duty of the voter to
be faithful to that trust, and to cast
his ballot so as that it will be of most
practical benefit to the country. Wei
do not believe that any man has the
moral right to throw his vote away-to
SO cast it, know ingly, as to be of no eff |
feet, when he knows also that he may
cast it in such way as to have an eff |
feet on the result, on which the rights |
and interests of the people depend
In this free country. its destiny de-
ponds on the rightful use of the ballot |
by its citizens, and no citizen has the
moral right, knowingly, to cast it
wrongfully, or voluntarily to throw it
away. 1t is his duty so to cast it as to
be of most practical benefit to the
country. 1t is high privilege and in
wolves solemn duty. 1t is given for
patriotic practical results, and not to
be abused, neglected, or thro 1n away.
In the battle of the ballots, there
should be no blank cartridges, and no
useless firing in the air.

The Death of Tennyson.

Alfred Tennyson, the poet-laureate
of England, is dead. He was, as the
Baltimore San says, the great poet of
his time beyond any rivalry, and the
wears of his life almost spanned the
century, and he dies now full of
years and full of honors, ''like a shock
of corn full ripe, which cometh in his
season." The years of his natural life
are not so remarkable in his longevity
as the long period of his literary
career. His first literary pre- auctions
were published to the world in 1927,
and sixty years later he published his
new "Locksley Hail." upon the occa-
sion of the Queens jubilee. which, al
though decidedly more pessimistic than
we would expect from man whose life
had been set in such pleasant places,
certainly showed that the poetic flame
was burning as brightly as aforetime
and that in no respect had his intel
Iectual force abated, and since Their
his pen has not been idle.
| Some of the lyrics and shorter
poems of Tennyson contain the pure
essence of poetry, and we read ano
re-read them with delight as we lister
to grand and simple music-grane
from its simplicity. The Idyls of thu
King justify the great praise that ha
been bestowed on him, the highes
commentator of poet: HE ha
| cleaned from all nature and all histor.
what was most lofty and amiable."
The hold that Tennyson the poe
has upon the affections of the English
speaking people is manifested in tn
ignoring of his title. Among the pee
Il pie he is not Lord Tennyson, he
simply Alfred Tennyson. The It'll
was nothing to him. 1t could adj
nothing to him. He adorned tn
peerage. The peerage could not adj
to his glory. The touching words Q
one of Tennyson's latest poems, "Cross
ing the Bar" aptly describe his ow
peaceful end.
