There is much gossip as to repub-
lican presidential possibilities for 1896.
but not word concerning democratic
candidates. The brethren of that faith
don't seem to care to electioneer for a
licking.-Tolcdo Blade.
S Democrats have long advocated
"a tariff for revenue only" The Will
sou bill is not that kind. 1t is a tariff
for poverty and distress only, and. as

S-If the Wilson act turns out to be
as bad as the country expects. it will be
on the statute book only three years,
for the republican president who takes
his seat on March 4, 1897, will call the
republican congress which comes into
existence at the same time in extra scs-
sion to repeal the law. But if it
should not be as bad as this it may live
four years and be killed in the regular
session.-St Louis Globe-Democrat
U-The next time the democratic
party elects a president it will be sure
that he is democrat The democracy
will not leave it in doubt whether the de-
clared and definite policy of the demo-
cratic party, or the indefinite policy of
mere individual, is to rule at WASH
ington. One year of Clevelandism in
the white house has effectually cured
them of the disease. They Will now re-
turn to the old way of party govern.

CLEVELAND AND HIS PARTY.
Origin of tho Trouble In the Democratic
RankA

origin OF tho Trouble In the Democratic
RankA
The trouble between Cleveland and
MS party began as soon as he was in
auGurated- 1t was eviden, within the
hrst twenty-fOur hours after that event
that he proposed to do exactly as he
pleased, without regard to the wishes
OF those by whom he had been elected
lie took occasion at the very outset to
let 1t be known that he did not expect
to consult the party leaders or to cult
vate amicable relations with them.
His attitude was that of q man serenely
confident of his own power to have his
own way. and thoroughly determined
to meet all opposition with uncondi-
tional defiance. This has been his pol
icy, and the consequences are easy to
see. lie has estranged all the promi-
nent democrats in the country by his
studied contempt for their advice and
his resolute refusal to grant them rea-
sonable favors. The administration is
without the support in congress that is
necessary to carry out its plans and
purposes. 1t would have been defeated
in all of its undertakings but for the
help magnanimously given to it by the
republicans. Nothing that it desires
can be obtained except by n fight Its
worst enemies are on the side that is
responsible for its existence. and that
should be anxious To promote its sue
cess. The meaneSt things that are said
about 1t come from those who worked
hardest to win the democratic victory
of 1892, and who have least sympathy
with anti-democratic doctrines and in
terestS
This situation is peculiarly unfor-
tunate one for Cleveland. He has more
at stake in the case than anybody else.
The men who are antagonizing him
have little or nothing to lose in COM
parison with what he may forfeit; and
the wonder is that he persists In a
course that is so mauifestly inimical to
his personal welfare. 1t is all very
well to say that he displays rcmarkabl
courage: but he displays it in way
that falls far short of practical wisdom.
The responsibility for the unpleasant
feeling between other conspicuous
democrats and himself is largely his
own. He could have preserved peace
and harmony if he had cared to show
a friendly spirit and to stoop lit
tie now and then to con-
quer That is what his party expect
ed him to do-that is what a party
always expects its president to do; and
it Is quite safe to say that his party
loes not indorse the methods that he
has adopted and the means that he has
used for the accomplishment of his OBJ
Iects. His popularity with the demo-
cratic masses has steadily declined
Turing his present term. He went in
20 office under the most favorable con-
litions for increasing his reputation
md making a signal name for himself
n history, and in less than year he
nas thrown away all of the good
chances with which he started. Tho
of his life was missed be-
,ause he lacked the ability to compre-
hend and improve it, and the man who
thus blunders in politics or in any
hing else cannot hope to escape dis
lster sooner or later.-St. Louis Globe

After all. it is not much to expec9
that the democrats will at the last mo-
ment realize the futility of the Wilson
bill for any serious purpose of govern
ment, and that they will supplement
the useless demagogy of that measure
with a little practical craftsmanship
They must know. if they will stop u
moment to think, that they cannot
meet the nations current expenses by
making faces at the upper classes and
playing toady to the masses-Wash-

ROUGH ON THE FARMERS.
The Eject Of Democratic Tariff Reform
ON Prices.

The Eject OF Democratic Tariff Reform
On Prices.
We have in this country the singular
situation of wheat selling at very much
the lowest point and the largest num-
Der of people in actual want of the
necessaries of life in the history of the
country! The farmer in the northwest
gets barely forty cents bushel for the
wheat he evolved from the soil with
the sweat OF his brow, and still the con-
sumers of what he grows cannot OBJ
tain the means to buy bread 1t is an
other illustration of the fact that
cheapness is not the only thing that
people want in order to be happy and
prosperous. The man who is out of
employment, or is employed at low
wages, finds it impossible to buy flour
though the wheat out of which the
-four is made is selling at below cost of
production. The objective point of
many reformers has been cheap goods
They have had no thought beyond get
ting what they want cheap. Cheap
woolens, cheap cottons and cheap foods.
And all this time they have forgotten
the otner part OF the prOpoSltlon-
cheap labor or no labor at all. Thou
sands of working men are now able to
understand what Mr. Mckinley meant
when he said that cheapness was not
the greatest blessing they asked for.
They were indignant over this asser-
ton when they voted in 1892. but they
are less so now. Now they see the
truth of it and they feel the hunger for
the old order of things Under demo-
cratic tariff reform wheat has fallen to
its lowest point, and still men are on
the verge of starvation in all the large
cities Iowa State Register.

any rate had no intention of carrying
it out. But Isaac, feeling the infirmi-
ties of age, though he lived many
years after this, wished to devolve the
care of his family upon his eldest son.
and proposed at feast to bestow upon
him the birthright blessing. which
would have made Esau the head of the
family. Jacob remembered his pur-
chase, and Rebekah the prophecy.
Jacob was her favorite son. The two
were afraid that the desired boon was
slipping away from them. They did
not trust God, but took the matter into
their own hands, and conspired to-
gether to palm Jacob off upon his
blind and aged father as Esau, the
elder son. Thus by fraud he obtained
the birthright. Esau returned too late
and wept bitter tears over his loss. but
the decree was irrevocable, and his re-
pentance was vain. On this transac-
ton:
PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.
Quiet, uneventful lives, like Isaac's,
may yet be lives of faith and links in
the chain of divine providence through
which great blessings come to men.
Men are born with different ten
denotes, talents and temperaments;
and yet for each there is some kind of
usefulness and blessing possible. The
apple cannot become q peach, but it
can be first-class apple.
Every one has . birthright from
God, to happiness, goodness. and
Many man sells his birthright for
. mes Of pottage, for pride. for
worldly gain. for honor. for pleasure

this city's bricklayers has written articles
on Shakespeare plays that have been
commended by D. Furness. A carpenter

with him reads Greek. In a great shoe
factory is employed a man who won a
prize for New York weekly's leading ar
ticle on the tariff. A local compositor has

In Cardinal Wolsey's palace no less than
go beds were provided for strangers, with
superb canopjes and curtains of silk or
velvet. There were bedsteads of alabaster,
quilts of down and pillowcases embroid-
cred with silk and gold. The chairs of
state were covered with cloth of gold; the
tables and cabinets were of the most costly
woods. Much of the splendid furniture
was embazoned with MY lords arms"
everywhere was impressed the cardinals
hat. The same magniticence appeared in
the decorations and ornaments of the
chapel. But the forty-four gorgeous eopes
of one suit, and the rest of the sacerdotal
pomp displayed there, We're eclipsed by the
majesty of Wolsey's secular equipment.

Every one is accustomed to seeing tele-
graph linemen or electric light linemen
climb a pole to repair wires, and knows
that it is done by means of two sharp spurs
fastened to the inside of the instep. 1t is
not every one, however, who knows how
the repairs are made to the trolley wires,
or how they are first fastened in place. The
iron poles prevent any climbing. | was
wondering, while riding on horse car a
few days ago, how the work was done,
when directly in front | saw the most pc
culiar looking kind of a wagon. The
wheels and box were quite similar to any
other heavy conveyance, but built up from
the box was a tower about seventeen or
eighteen feet high, on the top of which there
sat lineman. The wagon had stopped di-
rectly under the spot where two wires of the
trolley crossed in the center of the street.
The man with his pinchers quickly fastened
them, and at the same time solved for me
the puzzle of how the man got there to
make repairs. Brooklyn Eagle.

The latest odd character to appear in
the city is known in the down town sa-
looms as Sapho Sapho is black wom-
an of unusual height, and her powerful
figure is that of an Amazon queen. She
dresses rather Enthusiastically, and carries
a banjo Of the largest size, on which she
plays with power and no inconsiderable
skill, and she sings strange, weird AT
rican songs in some native tongue as she
strums out the refrain upon the instru-
ment. Sapho is always accompanied by
little colored boy of exceptional black
ness and the most timid and nervous
disposition. He clings to her skirts all
the while she is playing, and when he
passes his hat for money seems afraid he
will be cuffed. Sapho will not be drawn
into conversation, but scowls at all who
address her, and altogether is strange
and unique character among the human
oddities of the city's surface life

Those persons who believe that ex-
travagance, like charity, should begin
at home will derive much satisfaction

Clews that the cholera scare may yet be
worth great many millions of dollars
to this country. "Asiatic cholera is a
disease naturally foreign to our coun-
try" said Mr.. Clews to the writer sit
is epidemic only in foreign lands. The
cholera scare is therefore likely to impel
people on this side of the Atlantic to
forego their annual foreign travelling
and sightseeing and do their own
country instead of undertaking the dan
gerous tour of Europe If Americans
can be made to realize that to leave their
own country is to incur the danger of
getting cholera bacilli into their sys-
TENS, the aforesaid cholera scare will
have served good purpose and be a
great gain to this country. | do not
hesitate to say that the army of Ameri-
can travellers abroad each year spends at
least 800 900 900. If this amount can
be cut down one-half that sum, which
should be done to restrain our national
extravaganza within the bounds of rea'
