THE DAY OF REST.

AS this is the first day of rest that has
come to the busy world since THE CALL
passed under the control of the new
management it is but natural that it
should be to US day of more than ordi-
nary significance.
Old subscribers and new subscribers
will to-day for the first time have abun-
daut leisure, free from the distractions of
business, to read THE CALL carefully.
ponder upon its policy and criticize ma
turely not only It's objects but the methods
it has put into practice to attain them.
1t cannot have escaped the attention of
even the most casual reader during the
past week that the philosophy of the net
management is optimism. that the spirit is
buoyant the policy progressive and the
method that of appealing to those senti-
ments and advocating those interests
which tend to harmony rather than to be
forever planning and den ouDcing some
thing or pursuing any course that leads
only to antagonisms and Intellectual quar-
rails.
Goethe has given to the common idea of
rest. the conception of genius: that it does
not mean the quitting of this mortal

sphere" The motion of river is rest
when it flows free from obstruction, and
so long as man progresses toward the
highest and best within him. he enjoys the
true rest. 1t is with this conception of the
word that we come to our readers on this
day of rest. We would be glad If any
direct word or Indirect influence of ours
should help any man or woman onward
and up1 ard to the best ideals of their pri-
vate or public aspirations. We wish THE
CALL to be restful in the sense that it pro-
notes progress by infusing spirit of
cheerfulness, buoyancy, yigor and san
guine hopefulness into the minds Of all who
read it.
To every reader. therefore. whether he
seeks rest in the solemn ceremonies of the
church. in the freedom of the parks, by
the shore of the inspiring sea. or in the
comfortable seclusion of his own home,
The CALL expects to come as welcome.

to every one, words Of good import, and
thoughts that give satisfaction and joy
and We trust will find responsive appre-
citation wherever it goes on this and all
other days If rest.

A SUGGESTED REMEDY.

The evidence of errors committed either
by fraud or ignorance in the count of the
ballots cast at the recent election has bean
so abundant that there can no longer be
any doubt that a remedy for the evil is
imperatively necessary. Every intelligent
man has given more or less consideration
to the subject, and not few of them have
devised plans for putting an end to the
wrong, whether it results from mere igno-
rance or intentional frand.
One of our correspondents on the subject
says: "My idea is as follows: That we
adopt the New York system of counting the
votes every hour Tor machine voting), and
that the clerks and supervisors of cleo
ton be chosen the same as grand jurors
are from the taxpayers in each precinct,
divided between the different political
parties; and further, that no person a
member of the Fire Department or Police
Department be allowed to take part in any
political convention or club under pen
atty of dismissal; this In cities of %, 600
and over"
This plan no more than any other will
commend itself to everybody. but it has
merits that entitle it TO careful considera-
ton, and forms worthy contribution to
subject which engages so much of the at
tenti0n of all thoughtful citizens.

HOW TO CHOOSE A HUSBAND.

A young lady. who says she has read
THE CALL ever since she was able to read
anythiDg-which is very much 10 her
credit-asks our advice OH a matter of
serious concentrating less than her
marriage. She has two suitors, both
young, both good looking and both able TO
support wife; she cannot tell which she
likes the best. One is young man OF
rict habits, a churchgeer. teetotaller
and so devoted to his busness-he is a
clerk in a wholesale grocery-house-that
he says he has no time to waste on novel
reading. The other is lawyers clerk,
who has been known once or twice to
drink more wine than was good for him at
a convivial gathering. and who is suspected
of not only reading novels but of having
himself contributed to the press. Our fair
correspondent asks THE CALL which of
the two would be most likely to make her
kind and loving husband. an agreeable
companion for life and a good provider.
In answering this query it is necessary
to distinguish, as the French say. If
the young lawyers clerk is an habitual
tipDler, so that he is usually overcome by
wine when he is brought face TO face with
the bottle, it is perfectly clear that the lady
should not marry him. Girls often marry
dissipated young men in the wild delusion
that they will reclaim them. They never
do. The tipping husband drifts from one
degree of dissipation TO another, and
fetches up finally as regular sot. On the
other hand, if the young man merely takes
an occasional glass of wine, as most people
do, and has shown no signs Of decided
alec holism, his habits should not be fatal
to his chances
Before marrying either sutor the lady
should satisfy herself that he is bright
enough aud industrious enough to be
reasonably sure of being able to support
her through life. But bread and butter,
though essential, are not everything in
life. When two people are to see each
other across a table every day of the
term of their natural life the girls happi-
ness will largely depend on the sociability,
the vivacity and the information of her
husband. a man who can talk about
nothing but canned tomatoes and granu-
lated sugars is not as entertaining COM
panion as one who knows something Gut
side of his profession and who reads the
literature of the day.
We might go on further, but we have
said enough to answer our fair correspon-
dents query. 1t may suffice to add single
word, to wit, that husbands are much what
their wives make them.

NEWSPAPERS FOR FOOLS.

At q recent gathering at Cornell Mr..
Charles A. Dana of the Sun addressed the
alumni and alluded to the possibility that
some of them might adopt newspaper
career. Speaking of newspapers Mr.. Dana
said: There were two kinds. One news
paper for sensible people; a second news
paper for FOOLS He had high testimony
that there was a certain portion of every
community made up Of fools, and. there
fore. it was perfectly right to provide
for them in newspapers. Some news
papers were taking care of this
class-in fact. making specially of it,"
There is world of wisdom in these
pithy sentences. What Mr.. Dana's irony
meant was that an editor who writes down
to the fool level among his readers is faith
less to his trust. There are, as he says,
in every community certain proportion
of ignorant and wr0ug-headed people who
arrive at wrong conclusions on questions
which come up; the editor who publishes
a paper to reflect the views of this class Is
making newspaper for fools and is enti-
tied to respect accordingly.
The editor is sometimes a fool himself,
and in echoing the opinions of his fool
readers is really expressing his own. But
more frequently he has sense enough to
perceive that the opinions are wrong, yet
he publishes them and affects to indorse
them. because he thinks they are popular
and will do his paper good. The mistake
which he makes is undertaking the COM
nonsense of bis public. An old adage
says that John Public is not such fool as
he looks. He comes by his reputation for
stupidity from the fact that the great
mass of people do not proclaim their
views, whereas the crank and the dema-
g0gue do.
The business or the conductor of great
public Journal is to tell the truth, so lar as
he knows it, regardless of consequences.
People soon take his measure, and respect
and support him. even when they don't
agree with all his opinions. What the
subscriber wants Of his paper, after he has
got the news of the day, is judicious hon.
est eminent by one whose position and
whose intelligence fit him to be a public
guide. They do not want such compli-
ments as ayoung lady expects when she
makes her frat appearance in society
they expect counsel. and are willing. if
necessary, to endure rebuke.

THE DEMOCRACY ABDICATEs.

Springer of Illinois has invited the Re-
publicans of the House TO try their hand
at drawing a currency bill in the place of
the one which has just been defeated, and
the administration is understood to have
promised to support any bill which Sem
ator Sherman may draw on the subject.
In other words, the dominant party offers
10 abdicats its functions in favor Of the
opposition.
Those who are puzzled to explain the
Republican tidal wave of last November
need look no further for its cause. 1t was
not so much that the people wanted the
Mckinley tariff restored or the Bland bill
passed. The flopovsr of thousands of votes
all over the country was due to prevail
ing conviction that the Democratic leaders
were not com petent 10 administer the bust
ness of the country. And they are not
They have the President. they have the
Senate, they command an overwhelming
majority in the House, and yet they are in
capable Of framing any practical measure
of LEGISLATION which Is satisfactory to the
country or even themselves. The debates
on the tariff bill at last session exhibited
divided councils and want of knowledge
which was pitable. Some of the hardest
things which were said OF the President
came from members of his own party.
The dicker with the sugar men by which
the tariff was got through the Senate re-
ceiyed it's seyerest cansure from Demo-
Gratis. Similar Generalization has marked
the controversy on the currency question
at this session.
When the American people elect party
{o+o ha onf fhau avnpNt
that it will be competent to do so. When
it is not. they relegate 1t to the rear rank
and put power into the hands of its oppo-
nents. Last November the people showed
what they thought of the Democratic lead
ers. In November, 1886. they will prob
bly, emphasize the lesson. and the Demo-
Gratis will have no one but themselves to
blame.
1t would be a mistake to suppose that
ali the leaders of the Democracy are
afflicted with political imbecility. Among
them are wise. brOad-minded, farseeing
statesmen. But they are tyros In the
practical business of government. They
do not know how to handle their own
men or to win victories when they are in
majority. The Democracy has been so
long out of power that with it the busl-
ness OF administering public affairs has
become a lost art. From the days Of
Jefferson to the civil war, with the excep-
ton of three terms. the Government of
the United States was administered by
the Democracy. aud whatever faults may
be laid to it's charge il knew its business.
1t lay fallow for twenty years. and the re-
suit was that it ceased to produce men
who were competent to take up the work
where It had been dropped. while its op-
ponents, trained by az experience of six
terms, produced leaders who. with all
their faults, were statesmen.
In all oar history no party ever made
such a confession of helplessness as Mr..
Springer has just uttered.

A TOMB OF LITERATURE.
The British Mus cum as Repository
for Nearly EVERYTHING.

The final destruction of all things--of such
as are worth keeping, at least-is not the
grave; it is the British museum. The grand,
