Taking Account Of Stock.

The tradesman who takes account of
stock at this season of the year and
dusts off the shelves and rearranees

hopeful state of mind than he has en-
joyed for several years. Prospects of
trade are brighter, business is looking
up and he is marking down the shop
worn articles to be in readiness for
the grand rush later on. The Demo-
cratic editor is now engaged in taking
account of his stock of arguments but
Inc idea that the task is relieved by anv
hopefulness seems absurd. He finds
them all shopworn and the dust is
thick upon the shelves. He has been

Some Questions.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Please an
swer the following, to settle a dispute:
l. Were the trainers of the Constitution of
the United States indirectly responsible for
the civil war?
9. Did the Congress of the United States
want or insist on Gen. Washington to serve
as President for life?
3. Did William Gladstone want the Eng
lsh Premier (Disraeii) to recognize the
Southern COnfederacy?
q. Is it in harmony with American politics
TO honor Mr.. Gladstone with the term
"Grand Old Man,"
S. Is it not un-American and too much
English to say John Sherman was appinted
"Premiern instead of Secretary of State?
j. w. HOMER, Louisville, Kan.
RI. The trainers of the Constitution were
not directly or indirectly the cause of the
war. They gave us a most admirable plan
of Government, and all that was necessary
was for their descendants and successors to
live faithfully up to it. and supplement what
ever it lacked by calm discussion and wise
development. 1t was not until 40 years
after the adoption of the Constitution, when
the enormous and unexpected development
of cotton-growing by cheap slave labor, that
the supporters of the Slave Power began to
iupgle with the Constitution, SO as to distort
il to cover their own schemes.
9. There were few men who wanted
Washington to become President for life, but
neither the Convention which framed the
Constitution nor any Congress ever enter
| tanned the idea for afminute.
