A DELIGHTFUL SURPRISE PARTY.

AN1A'1@
 THE BEE, which records the peoples joys and sorrows and sympathjzes with their pleasures and their griefs, has prob ably not chronicled for sometime an occasion more pleasant than was ex- perienced Saturday, June 20, at the home of G. B. Tucker of Easton. Mir Tucker was in the secret, but Mrs Tucker was not. So she thought they had simply in- vited the minister and his wife to spend the afternoon. In due time the pastor and wife came. Mrs Tucker remarked that she was delighted that they had come early, but she failed to catch the knowing look that passed between MT Tucker and his pastor. Soon down the hill came line Of carriages. Mrs Tuck CT remarked that they must be bound for Putnam Park. No one disputed the statement. What was her surprise when 1 they drew up before her door, and those who occupied them became her guests. 1 All sorts of refreshments they brought with them, and best of all, warm friend 1 ly hearts and words of good cheer and gladness. It was 8 genuine surprise party. Ice cream and stra " berries, sand wiches and cake, croquet and converse tion all played their part. Music closed the evening. And when the guests went home, it was with an increased recognr tion of the fact that Mir and Mrs Tucker were a delightful host and hostess, and with the consciousness that they had en joyed 8 gathering of most congenia companions.

The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1896-02-27

How often do we try, and per-
severe in trying, to make a sort
of neat show of our good qualities,
without anything within to cor
respond, just like children who
plant blossoms without any roots
in the ground to make pretty
show for the hour. We find fault
in our lives and we cut off the
weed, but we do not root it up; we
find something wanting in our
selves, and we supply it, not by
sowing the divine seed of heavenly
principle, but by copying the deeds
that the principle ought to pro-
duce.
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1896-02-27

Comparatively few deliberately
choose the wrong and persistently
follow it from day to day. Pas
sion and appetite hurry many into
evil courses whose better natures
In calmer moments do not consent
to their misdoing. And poverty
on one hand, and wealth and lux
ury on the other, are alike respon-
sible for sins differing in character
and degree. We talk much of the
contagion of evil and deplore it;
we rarely speak Of the diviner con-
tagion Of good which is abroad in
the world, inspiring reforms, cor
recting abuses, redressing wrongs,
and stimulating an almost omnis-
Gent philanthropy.
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-06
P0PULIsTS ARE ANGRY.

No doubt the usual ballot-box stuffing
was resorted to by the Democrats IN Ala
bama, but whether or not they could have
elected their ticket by fair means
matters not with the Populists. They be-
lieve they were swnd!ed out OF their le-
gitimate vote and that precludes the possi-
bllity of fusion of the parties on the Presi-
Dental issue. The Populists of Alabama
were very sanguine of carrying the State,
and their estimate of the voting strength
of the party was based upon fairly accu-
rate poll of the voting districts. No doubt
very many sanguine local bosses overesti-
mated the party's strength and did not
send IN a correct poll, but it is hardly rea-
sonable to suppose that pretty well
assured majority of $4,000 for their State
ticket could have been changed to 10000
against them by fair means, nor could the
poll have been so inaccurateIy taken.
If the Democrats did steal the State. as
the Populists charge, the consequence will
be that the Populists in all the Southern
States will refuse to cooperate with the
Democrats in the National campaign.
They will want Populist mate for Wat
son, and they would be justified in taking
such course. The st. Louis convention
was warned against having anything to
do with the Democracy, because, as it was
charged, in all previous com binations the
Populists were defrauded out of every
thing, and now that the election in Ala
bama EN- mphasizes the fact that the Democ-
racy has no use for Populists other than to
make them convenience the influence of
the middle-of-the.road leaders for an in
dependent National ticket will be stronger
than ever.
But good will come OF it all to the coun-
try. An enthusiastic condition of the
parties might have made Bryan danger
ously strong. There is no danger OF any,
thing of that sort now, however, though
Republicans and sound-money Democrats
should not take things too easy on that
account. It will not do to merely scotch
the Bryan snake. 1t must be drawn and
quartered. Ii it is not it will revive and
come again. 1t must be remembered that
it is revolution and sectionalism that the
Bryans are after, and so long as they are
able to muster squad they will exert an
evil influence
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-06
AS BRYAN SEES BRYAN.

When Bryan said '' 1t is due to myself
and the Populist party that treat them
with perfect candor" he put Bryan first
and the party he represents second. When
Mr.. Mckinley has occasion to refer to
himself he places the party first and Mr..
Mckinley as its accredited representative.
That is the difference between the two
men. Bryan has no idea of a political
proposition or an item of news that is
disconnected from himself He has no
idea that any cause that he might support
could possibly amount to anything if it
were made more conspicuous than his
own personality. Bryan believes that he
is necessary to cause, but no cause is
necessary to him. He does not believe
free trade and free silver would have ever
become issues had he not put his person
atty in front of them.
Had Mr.. Mckinley, or any other man
who believed himself 20 be his party's
leader and not the party ITSELF found it
necessary to reply to something, he would
not have said, st is due to myself" but
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-06
A SERIOUS MATTER.

Says Major Mckinley of the Democratic
party: Not content with the Inaugural
ton of the ruinous policy which has
brought down the wages of the laborer
and the price of farm prod ducts. Its advo-
Gates now offer new policy which will
diminish the value OF money in which
wages and prices are paid"
The whole situation is summed up in
that one little speech, and he who cannot
see how important it is to prevent the
Democratic party from having four more
years to apply its ruinous policy must be
stupid indeed. And yet the men who
caused all the business distress of the
last three years are the ablest and no
doubt the most patriotic members of that
party. 1t may be said of them that they
thought they were doing the best possible
thing for the country, but if they failed
so completely and brought such ruin upon
all business enterprises, what but a
thousandfold worse conditions could be
expected with such men as Bryan. Alt
geld and Tillman directing the policy OF
the Government? Those are matters too
serious to be passed over lightly, the more
so because Bryan proposes to assail the
monetary system of the country.
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-06
SUGAR AND TARIFF.

In an article on the sugar industry in
to-days CALL 1t is shown that the business
thrives best under bounty and pro-
tectlve tariff. Instead of adopting the
free-trade and non-interference plans OF
Bryan, study of the subject reveals the
fact that we need tariff and bounty SINH
lar to those that have caused prosperity in
Germany.
Claus Spreckels shows that, with proper
attention and Government aid, this
country would readily produce enough
sugar for the consumption of the United
States-about 100000 long tons each
year.
To-day most Of our sugar is imported,
the Louisiana product only slightly ex-
ceeding 800, 900 tons per annum and the
American sugar-beet supply being but
tenth of that amount.
The American Consul's reports show
how Germany has thrived under a a
cent per pound tariff and bounty to the
producer of 48 cents per hundred pounds
The student of industrial development
will see the benefits of fostering home in
dustry by study OF the sugar question.
1t is shown that this great business, like
wool and lumber, needs the benign aid OF
q wise protective tariff,
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-06
TRIUMPHANT PROTECTION.

Mine eyes have seen the rising Of the great Nc
Kinley host;
From Atantic's shore tits swelling to the far
Pacific Coast.
On its myriad tossing banners Is inscribed the
patriot boast
"we'n protect our land from demagogue and
spoilerp'
No "crown Of thorns" is needed to advance this
sacred cause;
No "cross of gold" is raised aloft to win the mobs
applause.
These serried ranks depend on truth and natures
changeless laws
To redeem the land and elevate the toiler.
Projections beacon fires Hume the country far
and wide,
The patriots torch is lighted, and no silver cloud
hide
The swelling of the human sea, the rolling OF the
tide
That bears projections champion on in glory.
The whispering pines OF Maine have sent their
message to the West.
And California, listening, has bowed her golden
crest
To him who claims for workingmen the first re-
ward and best,
And deceives them not with rainbow pledge
and story.
All hail the soldier statesman, base populations
foe
All hail! his valiant followers, who forth to battle
go,
To fight 'gainst fraud and folly, for surcease Of
human woe
And to Keep intact the Nations faith and
glory. HAROLD LEACH
San Francisco. August 5. 1896.
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-06

On Sunday evening, August 2, splendid
festival service was given at Grace Church
which reflected great credit on the organist
and choir, who have been working together
for less than one year. A short service pre-
ceded the recital, at which the congregation
was specially invited to join in the hymn,
"All Hail the Power of Jesus Name" This is
as it should be, but why have to ask the con-
gregation to join in one special hymn? Has
not the congregation not only the right but
duty to perform, in joining in all the hymns,
chants and responses of the service? For some
reason this right seems to have lapsed in most
churches, but ministers would do well to en-
courage their focks in taking practical in
terest in church music. One item of the SER
vice was, "The Storm on Lake." rendered by
W. H. Holt on the organ. This remarka BILE
piece of music showed the resources of the
magnificent organ as, perhaps, no other COM
position would. The instrument contains
2900 pipes nearly all of which are called into
requisition in performing this piece Of music
A rather peculiar adventure happened re-
Gently at Berlin. Since the Inauguration of
La Triplice, good artistic understanding has
been kept up between Germany and Italy.
The former sends very few musicians into the
latter, but the latter takes every opportunity
of representing itself in the former. Now,
recently band of italian musicians, in uni
form, directed by chief named Manni, was
