The great textile strike is sincerely to be
dcplored on every ground. While it is
true that the cutdown in wages would
bring many a hardworking family very
close to poverty, it is also true that it is
the rusult of discouraging industrial con-
ditions for which the employer no more
than the employe is responsible. 1t would
be the part of wisdown for the men at
Suncook, n. H., and the men at New Bed
ford, Mass, to bear their share of the gen
cral burden with the best grace they can
muster When business improves through
Republican legislation, then let them ask
for the old scale of wages back, and public
opinion will uphold them in the demand.

Why does Butler want to crafty his
spleen and passion that way? When
he talks about the courage of the
Tillmans he's not sane. The bones
of three Tillmans lie in a field in
Mexico, with those of Pierce Butler.
He jumped on Butler about what
he said about State litigation and
lawyers fees. He said if Butler
knew SO much law, they had better
make him Attorney General, but he
believed Buchanan could beat him all
hollow in law. The Governor gave
the history of the railroad fight and
said his friend was the head devil in
it. He gave blue blazes to Simonton
and railroad corporations and charged
all the Federal Courts with being
bought by Wall street.
He told of the Agricultural Hall
case and said the hall should never
60 out Of the hands of the State.
The Governor had some fun out of
the ox.cars story and said some peo-
pie would rather see the devil in the
Senate than him. (Cheers.) But he
was going there,
To Buffers charge that Ben Terrell
had made ::Tillman stand around, Till
man said he had not done SO and
then said: "What became of Butler
at Batesburg when Tom Watson got
through with him p
"Used up" admitted Butler.
Tillman: "Honest confession is
good for the soul and when Il get
through with him (speaking about
Butler) he will learn to hit in front
and will quit wanting to be black
guard l won't CALI him friend until
he apologies for his conduct yester-
day."
The Governor discussed the Dis
pensary law and how much money
was made and its benefit. He said
the barrooms were dene of hell. Till.
man charged Butler with voting for
Simonton's confirmation when he
knew Simonton's nomination was all
invasion of the States rights. The
Governors hour was up, but the
crowd wouldn't let him stop He al
luded to Buffers separate box propo.
sition and intimated there was money
to buy Reformers.
Voice 1--WE don't want any of it. :"
He said Butter was afraid to trust
the beople. Butler knew he was
beaten and didn't believe Butler
candidates for the Legislature would
be put out in one-third of the counties.
The Governor concluded by saying
he would show Butler how the peo-
pie stood and called for hand pri-
mary. A perfect upheaval of hands
and wild applause for Til!man follow
ed. One hand was raised for Butler.
1t was so late when he concluded
that the other candidates did not
speak and the party left at 5 o'clock
for Camden.

WITH th,, trial and execution of
the Italian stabber who assasi-
mated President Carnot last Sun
day, the world will probably be
given another opportunity of
learning from France some whole
some lessons in the administration
of justice. 1t is humiliating in
deed, to an American, to admit
that he must look across the ocean
to Europe, for examples in the
trials and punishment of crimi
mails while living IN a country that
boasts of her freedom and excel
lent form of government, but
wherein more sentimental non
sense and jugglery with justice is
INDUCED in, than III any other
portion of the civilized world.

CYNICISM.

Cynicism, when considered as a
literary production, is entitled to
profound reverence on account of
its antiquity, if for no other reason
it dating very nearly if not quite
back to- the beginning. 1t has
always been recognized as po-
tent factor in Judging mental cali
ber and exposing folly. 1t being
a law of nature that each indl-
vidual must display his or her in
dividuality and that this power
cannot be- delegated to Or usurped
BY another. it follows, that cyni-
cism can never expose the ign J.
rance nor folly of anyone but
that of it's author. And consid-
ering that all are trying to con-
ceal their own weakness, it is
strange that it has been so ex,
tensively INDUCED in. for why
should a man expose his own de-
formlties because he thinks he
discovers impeffections in others?
One would suppose he would draw
his own mantle more closely
about him, instead of discardlng it
altogether. while he tries vainly
to cali attention to his neighbor.
What monstrous hallucination
must possess a man who keeps
firing at people with gun which
hits no one but himself? Is it
possible that he imagines people
are falling all about him while he
alone suffers and is the only tar
get his weapon reaches? Can he
not see that it is c1rved, and while
one end is pressed closely to his
shoulder, the other points at his
heartf Will he never know that
the canker about his own heart is
caused by the envenomed shafts
he has been firing at his neigh bors?
Will he continue to sally forth to
break Ianees with other peoples
windmills, when his own is not
capable of grinding corn for the
old horse on which he rides? Will
he always find more to reform
outside of himself than inside?
Is it possible that he can so far
forget his mission in life as to
drive the sunshine out of his own
soul and prove only a source Of
annoyance to those about HIM?
Shall he continue to believe him
self a reformer, while he is only a
miserable wreck of one of Gods
creatures? Let us hope that he
may reform before he dies, that
he may turn his magnifying glass
from the tollies of life to its beau
ties, and behold men and women
around him with pure intentions
and noble impulses, while his own
soul is filled with a light which
shall disclose rainbow tints all
around him.

THE SUGAR-CURED CONGRESS-

How dear to our hearts is our Democratic
Congress
As hopeless inaction presents it to view
The bill of poor Wilson. the deep tangled

And every mad pledge that their lunacy

closed by it,
The rock of free silver where great Grover
fell.
They've busted our country, no use to
deny it,
And darn the old party, it's busted as

This Queen Lilly Congress,
This wild free trade Congress

Their rnoss covered pledges we no longer

For often at noon when out hunting

They've given us nothlng-not even the
cob.
How ardent we've cussed 'em with lips
overfuwing
With sulphurous blessings as great swear
words fell,
The emblems of hunger, free trade and free
silver,
Are sounding in sorrow the workingman's
knell.

This mil-closing Congress,
This starvation Congress
We all love so well.
How sweet from their eloquent lips to re

We listened-and voted cur dinner pals
empty,
The factories silent, the furnaces cold.
And now far removed from our lost situa-

ton as a member of the house COM
mittee on the District of Columbia to
speculate in real estate, he explained
by saying that he had bought some
real estate on speculation, which he
sold to a real estate agent, without
knowing that it was purchased for
street railway company which had
bill before the D. c. committee, and
that it was mere coincidence that he
(Mr. Richardson) happened, as a men,
Der of that committee to report bill
favorablv to the house, which that
company was very anxious to have
passed, just four days after the sale of
that real estate. Such condolences
are dangerous to public men.
The last democratic senator to make
an explanation was Ransom, of North
Carolina, who confessed, after the
facts had been ascertained by newspa-
per men, that his SOD, who is his com.
mittee clerk, had been speculating IN
sugar trust stock. 1t is not probable
that Mr. Ransom would have ever
said anything about it if the senate
investigating committee had not in

prised nearly everybody when he testi-
fed that he had been speculating in
sugar stock; that he had a perfect
right to do so, and would whenever he
felt so inclined. The greatest interest
is felt in the testimony of Senator Cor
man, who Is still absent and repor.ed
to be sick. 1t may be that he
will join the other democratic
senators who helped him fix up the
sugar schedule in denying everything,
but there is reason to believe that he
could tell some very sensational things
in connection with this business if so
disposed. But it is hardly probable
that he will be SO disposed when his
Testimony is taken.

About six months ago my little son, aged
three, was very much troubled with breaking
out on his scalp and behind his ear. The places
effected were about as large as silver dollar,
the flesh seemed raw and covered with little
blisters. The child suffered considerably, and
was naturally very fretful. Itried several rene
dies without obtaining any beneficial results,
in fact the eruptions seemed to be spreading
and new places breaking out. 1 concluded
to try the CUTICURA REMEDIES, and bought
box of CUTICURA, cake of CUTICURA SOAP,
and a bottle of CUTICURA REsoLvEST. Iwashed
the effected parts with the CUTICURA SOAP,
taking care not to irritate the flesh, and applied
CUTIcURA. noticed a change for the better in
the appearance of the eruptioHs in twenty-four
hours. l continued the treatment morning and
night, and in two weeks the eruptions entirely
disappeared, leaving the skin smooth and the
scalp clean, in fact perfect cure, as have not
seen any indications of any eruption or br eaking
out since. gave the child only few doses of
the CUTICURA REsOLvENT. l consider your
CUTIsURA REMEDIES very valuable, and expect
to keep a small supply constantly on hand. I
believe CUTICURA would be excellent for apply
ing to insect bites, which are very annoying in
this country. c. A. ARMSTRONG;,

The Risk Of Precious Metal Mining

Probably at least one-sixth Of all the money
expended IN the effort To produce the precious
metals Is without return. This species OF
mining Is above all things the most prechri-
Gus. The mine. paying tor a time profit
are at length exhausted, and the vast sums
expended for plant and machinery are Thereby
lost Among the countless losses are few
enormous gains, Ehen genuine bonanza is
found, and each producer expects that his
turn will soon come. It Is probably true
that among the large audience Of The Forum,
there are not fifty people who have made 4
profit in legitimate gold or silver mining,
while the losers are numbered by the thous-
auds, the most OF whom preserve discreet
silence as to these investments. The great
fortunes made by four or i've Cslifornians In
the working out of the great bonanza in the
Comstock lode nearly bankrupted the re-
naming population OF the state in their en-
deavor TO go aud do likewise. 1t Is like a
lottery OF which every purchaser OF ticket
knows that less than one-half the money paid
for tickets Is ever refunded In prizes and
there is not one chance 10 ten thousand that
he will get back his money, yet the possibil-
fly of getting a thousand dollar- for one Is SO
ehiicinS that lotteries have TO be suppressed
by law as a menace to the public morals.
