Democracy Shines by Contrast.

FROM the 81. LOUIS hepuDIc.
Republicanism and Populism are
correlative forces in politics. Pop
ulism is nothing but advanced Re-
p%ublicanism. In its demands for
Government support and Govern
ment direction it is only carrying
out the doctrines the Republican
party has taught as essential to good
government.
The Republican party is the
champion of Socialism for the bene-
fit of the few. The Populist party
is the champion of Socialism for the
benefit of a few more.
Neither of these parties is capa-
BILE, or if capable is willing, to con-
slider it the province of party to gov
ern a country with a view to the
adoption and enforcement of such
laws as will maintain the rights and
interests of every citizen before the
Law and leave him free to work out
his own destiny. Both of them
support the idea that the Govern
ment should hold toward its citizens
the relation of an ignorant parent
toward his children, imagining that
out of his duty to provide for their
wants springs the right to enforce by
arbitrary authority and brutal phys
ical force the rule of their conduct.
The country has had but there
Populist Governors, but in the short
time these three have been in office
they have called out the militia
oftener than it has been called out
in all the rest of the States in many
years. The Populist idea of the
militia is evidently that it is too
costly a thing to keep idle. 1t must
be made to pay for itself. Accord.
ingly, it is called out in Colorado,
Kansas andSouthC Carolina whenever
the people in any part of either of
those unfortunateStates rebel against
the depotism of aPopulist government
which insists upon regulating them
out of rational or endurable exist
ence.
The Democratic doctrine is the
saving common sense of human
government. 1t aims at laws which
shall favor none and Cypress none.
1t proposes to leave the individual,
the unit of society and every system
of government free and untrammel-
, ed so long as he makes no attempt
to interfere with the rights of others.
It does not look upon a government
as a guardian or the people as its
wards. 1t would restrict. as far as
possible, and when practicable de-
stroy, the organization of militia.
In all these points it differentiates
from both the Republican and Pop.
ulist parties.
They believe in the elevation Of
government and the de degradation oil
the citizen. 1t believes in the eleva.
ton of the citizen and the restric.
ton of the government.

An End Missing,

An Irishman who served on board
a man-of-war was selected by one
of the officers to haul in a tow-line
of considerable length that was tow
ing over the taffrail. After pulling
in forty or fifty fathoms, which had
put his patience severely to proof,
as well as every muscle of his arms,
he muttered to himself: "Surely,
it's long as to-day and tomorrow !
It's a good weeks work for any five
in the ship. Bad luck to the leg
or the arm it'll leave at last. What !!
more of it yet? Och, murder, the
says mighty deep, to be sure !"
After continuing in a similar strain,
and conceiving there was little
probability of the completion of his
labor, he suddenly stopped short,
and, addressing the officer of the
watch, exclaimed: "Bad manners
to me, sir, if I don't think some.
body's cut off the other end of it!''

Let us correct our own errors, nip
them in the bud. With our lives
righted we are wiser and truer, and
with Gods love shed abroad i'll our
hearts we can work the works of the
righteous, bringing peace and hap
piness to many souls.
Life is one bright glow of sunshine
shedding forth its luminous rays
over all its beauty and sweetness,
with purity of thought, charity of
words, brotherly love, good will and
peace for all men. Who mas such a
life? Void of everything that has a
tendency to evil-none. We are
humans, prone to err. We can
guard and watch over our lives and
make them more Christ-like. What
is goodness but beauty. If we re-
member our missions in life and
perform them we will be happy.
Those poor unGodly, God-forsaken
creatures with their oily tongues
and hearts full of curses, and they
seem to know exactly how and
where to fling them to do the worst
hurt.
All! they should be made so mis-
cradle, so utterly wretched as to bite
out those vile tongues and to pour
burnish guilt into those blackened
hearts, lacerate them until they will
have to cry for mercy and pardon
at the bar of God for their awful
sins.
Let each of US correct our mis-
takes. Do not see the beam in our
neighbours eye and rest so easy
thinking ours is only a mote. All!
be careful with your harsh judg-
ments. Do not judge at all.
Lend a helping hand to your
neighbors and do not ask: Who is
my neighbor? All humanity are
our neignbors.
God will help those and dwell
with them who are trying to correct
| their mistakes in life.
Are you trying? If not will you
begin from this day, dear reader?
