OF this at least the people of the whole

matter Of justified pride In republicans
that their party has never yet written

consistent with its past attitude upon
any public question which outlived an

Aunt Dorcas. "We had given our

For many days the most absorbing
topic of conversation in the seaside
cottage was the rescue from Cults

Only yard or two OF tho Irvine re-
manned In the girls hand. This she
fastened securely TO the painter Of the
boat, which had meanwhile drifted In
and lay almost at her feet. throbbing
and trembling, as the waves broke
against its side.
Running out waist-deep into the
water, Margery showed the boat before
her; then, warned by q wave breaking
over her shoulder and drenching her
TO the skin. she FASTENED back 70 the
beach. For some minutes. which
seemed like hours 20 Margcry, the boat
remained stationary, aud the girls
heart sank lower and lower. She
called herself a wretchcd fool for not
having gone at once for help. She
started 10 run along the shore-where,
she knew not. only she could not stand
idly by while the water closed over
those she loved best on earth. IL was
more than she could endure. Her feet
felt like lead, and she staggered as she
ran. She had gone but little way,
however. when, glnncing over her
shoulder. she perceived that the boat
was moving from the shore. Don must
have accomplished his errand of mercy,
and have been understood She knelt
down on the sand and. with clasped
hands, prayed softly, while she fol-
lowed the course of the frail vessel.
1t moved merrily on, now dancing
along with a light, jerlxy movement,
now sailing straight ahead; but pres
emily the darkness of coming night
shut everything from her sight, and
Margery again covered her eyes with
her hands.
Hours, dreadful, hopeless hours
seemed TO have passed, when her ear
was gladdened by the thud of an oar
against the rowlockl She dared not
believe IL, but at last she ventured to
raise her eyes and saw the flash of the
dripping blades, and with frightened
gaze counted the dim forms In the APP
preaching boat. One, two. three; an
impatient whimper announced the
presence of Don. the rescuer, the fourth
in the boat. Then the girls strained
nerves gave way, and she flung herself
upon the sand and wept rs she had
never wept before.

PENSIONS AND THE TARIFF.
Perfect Performances OF Republican Prom
iscs.


When the war was over the republic
an party developed its civil policy.
First of all, IL declared its purpose TO
pay every debt or obligation contract
ed during or since the war, that the
public faith should be unblemished.
This promise has been performed In
spite of all temptation and the shrielxs
OF populists, we have discharged every
obligation contracted during the war,
and especially the highest and most
sacred debt TO the surviving soldiers OF
the war, their widows and orphans.
The pension roll is roll of honor,
higher In amount than any pension
roll ever before provided by any nation.
While the republican party Is in power
IL will only be diminished by the death
of pensioners--a fate that awaits us all
We are in favor OF protective
tariff. We had such tariff. While il
was In force we had prosperity, good
times and money plenty. We had so
diversified our domestic industries that
American labor and American capital
supplied nearly all the wants of the
American people. We prefer to tax
foreign production rather than our
own. We believe that the policy of
protection should be extended TO all
productions impartially, to labor on
the farm as well as in the workshop.
We are opposed to the democratic
policy of protecting wooden manufac-
turers and admitting wool free of duty.
We dencunce a scheme of taxation
which annually increases the public
debt more than hfty million dollars
This is the result of democratic as
cendancy. The tariff law of the last
congress is partly copy of the Me-
Kinley law and generally failure.
All that is good of 1t is confessedly
hodge podge. The supreme court has al
ready disposed of part of IL. All the
productions OF the south, from pea
nuts TO whisky, are carefully protected,
while the duties on the great staple
industries of the north are largely re-
duced, and on some articles entirely
repealed. We demand reform In the
tariff, not TO promote sectional inter-
csts. but TO secure ample revenue and
impartial protection 10 domestic in-
dustries. This we can have only by
the election of republican president
We want change, and for this change
we will have the hearty support OF a
large portion OF the democratic Iarty.

FRANCIS sCOTf KEY.

good many OF our exchanges arc
speaking OF the movement To collect n
fund to erect n monument to the mcm.
ory of Francis Scott Key, author of the
'Stnr Spangl0d Banner" MS II such n
thing had never been done before, and
it was high time that this patriotic
author was remembered, since he has
been dead over ffty years We think
the move now Is To erect n monument,
either in Baltimore, where he died, or
at his birthplace in Frederick county,
Md. This work of love and admiration
is prcpcr, and we hope will bear good
fruit However, while the East seems
TO have been remisa In this matter, the
hustling West, generally abreast with
the times, has had splendid monh-
ment To the memory OF Key for several
years While In San Francisco, three
years ago, strolling through tile beau-
tiful Golden Gate Park, one OF the
finest in the world we found "a very
handsome monument TO the memory Of
Key. James Lick, wealthy aud pntri-
otic citizen OF that place, bcqueathcd
the sum OF 100000 for the monument.
and - was executed in Romc i'm fsss.7
by William w. Story. The height OF
this monument IS iifty-one feet. IL
consists OF double arch, under which
n bronze figure OF Key is seated. It is
surmounted with n bronze statue of
America Win unfolded Nag The ma
terial is travertne, calcareoris stone
OF reddish yellow hue, extreemIy
porous, but OF great durability. The
middle part where the bronze figure OF
Key is seated is hollow, With ah arched
opening at each OF the four sides On
top of the main part are sculpturcd
wreaths, and around the lower part OF
the monument are panels with suitable
Inscriptions, making in all very
beautiful design and substantial re-
membranes for tho gifted author,
who was born August 9th, t7sO, aud
died January nth, 1888, in his G3rd year.
There may be other monuments TO him
in other places, that wd know naught

Park is the only one we ever saw, and
