In most of the local elections held
this year party lines were strictly
drawn and national issues were The
main topics of discussion. Everywhere
the Democrats won, or made large
gains: in many instances the November
verdict was completely reversed. All
of which goes to show that there is in
tense dissatisfaction among the people
with the present administration ard
that there is a grand Democratic revival
Just ahead.

The Senate Committee did good
thing in wiping out Dunderhead Ding

and vicious duty on books and art.

law. The Senate bill cuts the Dingley
rate Il of a cent, making it but 1-2O Of
a cent higher than at present This will
probably cause a great clatter Of tin
plates against the Senate paragraph.
Under the Mckinley law and the
present law. where imported materials
on which duties have been paid are
used in. the manufacture of articles
manufactured or produced in the United
States there is allowed on the exporta-
ton of such articles a drawback equal
in amount to the duties paid on the
materials used, less 1 percentum of
such duties. Under this provision man
ufacturers of tin cans for the use Of
exporters of canned meats and fruits
were enabled to use imported as we'll as
domestic tin whenever it was profitable
to do so on account of the price or
quality. The Dingley bill contained
clause specially barring imported tin
plate from the benefit of the drawback
given TO all other imported materials
used in the manufacture of articles used
for export. This worked a disadvan-
tage to packers of canned food products
who had to sell their goods in foreign
markets in competition with foreign
packers whose packages had not been
increased in cost by tariff duties. The
Senate bill. besides reducing the Ding.
lev duties on tin plate, restored it to
the privileges of drawback in common
with other materials. The Dingley
special discrimination was indefensible.

Hurrah for Georgia /.

The work of the Georgia boys at Sea
Girt-and they are all Savannahians
though they represent the state-should
elicit a ringing cheer and a "hurrah''
from the heart of every true Georgian.
Again they are sweeping the field, carry
ing everything before them, and again
1.-The Soldier of Marathon" viii grace Sa-
vannah military armories and bear an
other, the third. Savannah plate upon its
pedestal The Trenton match. the Regi-
mental match, the carbine match, and
now the Interstate match are all theirs,
and there are others" The prospects are
that not a trophy brought home from
Sea Grit in former matches will be taken
from Savannah, but, rather, others will
be added to them, until at last it may
almost be said that Sea Grit belongs to
Georgia.
The Savannah men went to Sea Grit to
win and gather new laurels for their state
and they are gathering them. Though
elated and inspired by former victories
they have never for a moment relaxed
their earnest, vigilant work. nor for
moment relied in any degree upon ac-
quired reputation to carry them through.
They knew it would require a stronger
team and better work to win 1878 victo-
ries than have heretofore been needed,
and they went prepared to meet the con-
ditions as results are showing.
We may perhaps be pardoned for exub-
Grant pride in the work of the Savannah
rifemen, but they represent one of the
unions greatest states, they are a part
of the national guard, and we think the
pride in their remarkable work should be
national. 1t has not been expressed in
other quarters as it should be, perhaps, but
there is yet time for the Georgians to be
given all due credit. They have the In
terstate match, so far having proven
themselves invincible, and to-day they will
fight for the Hilton trophy. May it also
be theirs. and may Capt. Cam or some
other good Georgian see that the VIM
bledon cup is kept at home. Assurance
now only needs to be made doubly sure
by the perfunctory formality of the ac-
tual work

His CIRCUS Davs Conc by.

A Lincoln attorney who is a church
member was figuring on taking his son to
the circus to see the animals this year, as
has been his custom in the past ever since
the youngster has been large enough to
appreciate the menagerie attractions, says
the Nebraska State Journal. The son is
10 years old and ne recently announced to
his father that he was big enough to go
alone. The father was taken considerably
aback, for he had not counted on being de-
prived of the excuse for going this year
that he had always used before.
why do you want to go alone?" the
"a ther asked.
4 don't know" replied the boy in a re-
luctant manner.
yes, you do" said the father. You
wouldn't tell me that you want to go alone
without a reason.
"Wen, papa" he said, 81 want to stay
out in the animal tent longer than you
do"
The mans wife was in earshot, and he
has not yet heard the last of the Incl
dent

do you keep snakes?" she asked as
she peered through her glasses at the par
rots and Guinea pigs in the bird store, ac-
cording to the Chicago Times Herald.

Il don't think they would answer. You

of the long field kind that are not poison

band has taken to drinking and L want

IF | were you" said the man, "rd wait
and if ne keeps on drinking he'll see
snakes anyhow"
mo. he won't and he wouldn't care if
ne did if they weren't real. But if he
sees a live snake he'll quit, and 1 am
going to try it on. Couldn't you get me
some?'
''Yes'm, can fill an order. If you call
around tomorrow you can get the
snakes" and the man took down the ad-
dress of his customer.
ITS a test case" he said as the woman
went out, land 1 feel sort of curious to
know how it will turn out. My idea is
that the husband will be so mad when
he finds the snakes in his boots that he'll
go out and get drunk as a billed owl but
maybe it will work the other wayne
hope it will.
Then he sent his boy out to hunt for
snakes in the hedges and bitches of the
prairie.

with apologies to Rudyard Kipling)
From the Norfolk Va.) Landmark.
The heather in his folly eats anything
that's good,
He doesn't try to choose the food that
science says he should;
He dies, gray-haired and weary, at four
score years and ten,
And what most sorely vexes him is that he
can't eat then.
Keep away from pickles, keep away
from spice,
Keep away from cabbage, corntield
peas and rice
Never eat a thing that's sweet, and
always eat it cold,
And thus you'll have your intellect
from growing stale and old.
The heather has three meals day and
sometimes one at night,
He thinks his early breakfast to be his in
born right;
He rises in the morning and hears his hun
ger cali
He never heard that science proves it isn't
there at all.
Keep away from breakfast. keep
away from tea,
Keep away from lunches, wherever
they may be.
Never let your midday meal be either
large or rich,
And every morsel you may take, be
careful which is which.
The heather drinks the water that bubbles
from the spring,
He thinks that if it stakes his thirst it is
the very thing;
He'll kiss his sweetheart on the lips in
stead of on the chin,
And not suspect that he commits scien-
tifc sin
Keep away from pollywogs, angle
worms. and flies,
Keep away from insects of every sort
and size.
Never breathe a nicrobe in unless
you cough him out
For he may have the chicken-pox, the
measles, and the govt
The heather fills his system with deadly
drugs and weeds.
He works until he's tired and rests more
than he needs;
He sets his brain in action when it should
be in repose,
And then he adds dyspepsia to his many
other woes.
Keep away from appetite, keep away
from thirst
These of all the foes on earth to
science are the worst,
Keep away from exercise, keep away
from thought.
And you will live until you die, if
you're not sooner caught.
