much surprised now to learn that Rome
has contradicted itself twice at least
within the past six months, according to

Let Him be Warm BlOOdcl.

Whatever the Democrats do at
Chicago it is devoutly to be wished
that they will nominate man
with some blood in him. The most
natural prcsid, mt we have had
since Lincoln was Gen. Grant.
Cleveland was human enough as
mayor of Buffalo and governor of
New York. AS president, how
ever, he has kept very far away
from the people. Gen. Harrison is
said to have carried thermometer
in his vest pocket to avoid all
danger Of his thawing by accident.
1t is for these reasons that the
American people would hail with
delight the nomination of q warm
blooded and neutral man at Chica-
go. If he be sound on the great
question o! the day, so much the
better.-New York Recorder.

uists that the right thing for them to do
is to vote the Democratic ticket. The
Pops were shown, in eloquent and fOrci-
bic language. that to come into the
Democracy again was the logical step for
them to take. as in the Chicago platform
are embodied those principles of reform
for which the Pops were especially tena-
cious.
After the tide of Democratic eloquence
had somewhat spent its force the politi-
cal complexion of the meeting seemed to
have been lost sight of. and w. l.. Stranes,
Popuist. was called on for remarks. His
response indicated that the reformers
were not likely to run over each other
in trying to get back into the Democratic
pen. This disappointment seemed to GRE
ate Il stampede. as it were, to the Republic
can party. w. X. Makemson was called
for. He spoke about one minute, i'll
which he expressed how well, in his Opin-
ion. the platform, the nominees and the
audience present all suited each other.
Somebody then called for Nat =. Hen
dcrson, and ut once that gentleman was
on his feet. In defiance of the kissing,
which soon began, and cries of down.
he poured hot Republican shot into Demo
cratic ranks for fifteen or twenty min
utcs. He limited strongly that the meet
ing he had the honor of addressing was
not Democratic body but nest of Pop
uilsts. He told them to continue to hur-
rah now. as after next November it
would be the time for Republicans to re-
jOicc. Col. Henderson secured himself
from further interruption by threatening
to speak two hours if the kissing did not
stop When finally he sat down three
or four Democrats were on their feet.
Mr. IIcndersOn's remarks were repudi-
ated, and Mr.. Henderson and the irrever-
end sound money Democrats, who had
been instrumental in turning the love
feast from its proper channel, were given
TO understand that they were not welcome
mt the ratification.
Col. +. II. Roche hurled back the in
that the meeting was not Dem
Dcratic. He characterized Col. Hender-
sons remarks as insulting.
A sound money Democrat here called
for Mr.. Henderson again and, with IA few
others, evidently enjoyed the little breeze
Nat Q. had stirred up.

ported Capt A. s. Fisher for chairman of

TRADE FOR THE MONEY MAKER

Fortunes like those of Mr. Peter Rob
inson, which was made wholly in his
shop keeping, attract attention even in Il
time when men begin to think of fortunes
on the American scale. and the accounts
of them produce two noteworthy results.
They greatly excite the cupidity of chan
cellors of the eXchequer, to the despair
of great freeholders, whose sons are COM
PEELED to sell their properties in demon
allied market; and they increase the
general impression of the cultivated that
the possessions are not worth entering
that if money is to be Il young mans OBJ
ject, his only chance is to devote him
self to business TO become farmer
of any kind, even the Occupying
owner" kind is to starve; while to be-
come a barrister, Il soldier, a sailor or
even an engineer is only to earn living
in which the prizes are far below those
of business, while for the majority of
those who do not fail there is only Il
bare living. out of which the children can
get nothing but an education, and some
times not that. Nothing approaching to
81, 100000 or even half that has been be-
queathed in our time by Il professional
man; indeed. we doubt whether, if we
mcnts, any professional man has ever
accumulated | IA million dollars, while
the largest fortune made in the services
and that only in India, has not exceeded
Il half million dollars. The average BUSH
ness man is more comfortable, if he sue
coed at all, than the average profess
siOnal man, has more to SPEND can save
more, lives farther out of the cities
now a great object of middle class am
bition-and can give his children rather
better chances. The social prejudice
against trade. and even against shop
keeping. has long since been dying away;
the admitted object of hard work out
side the services is comfort, and we do
not wonder therefore when we read that
according to the census returns, the
number of farmers is shrinking rapidly
and that of lawyers shrinking slowly,
while every other kind of gainful work
has every year more candidates for its
prizes. We expect, in fact, within few
years to see the American system in
vogue here-that is, to see the strong
and ambitious lads of n family learn
manufactures or trade. while only the
weak, or those with an instinct for study
will adhere to the professions.-London
