no possibility of - burning, scorching, or otherwise

than one-half ; also removing all dlityreeabie

his

and the victim of this awful disease becomes a
horrid object of commiseration till death puts a

THE CAMPAIGN.
Address or the Republicans Cons.'s'
■tonal .Corm/floe.
To the Republieans ef the United Stales:
The Executive and Legislative Depart.
meats of the National Government and
two-thirds of the State governments have
been committed to your keeping, Seer
power carries with it grave responsibilities.
The people, as is their right, l hold you
to a strict, accountability for the exercise
of this great trust. Elections are soon to
be held for the National House of Repre
sentativeii. These elections will determine
the political complexion of the popular
branch of Congress. They will, too, de
termine the political character of several
State governments. And these results
will be accepted as the verdict of the peo
ple upon the ideas. principles and policies
of the Republican party, end
upon the
Administration. To these
measures and character of the National
resporuribilities,
and to the
gravity of these issues, your
thoughtful consideration is invoked.
In the present juncture it behooves the
Republican party not to forget Its origin,
nor its history. Amid the difticulties that
beset it, and the responsibilities and labor,
which the needs of the country In the new
and untried condition of affairsimpoees, it
should remember that it was born of the
nation's necessities, end thus far it has
grandly met the exigencies forrhich it was
formed. Having lamed Ashittuphantly
tivough three great eras of its hbrtory, it
is now summoned to enter upon its fourth.
Gathering, therefore, inspiration from past
successes, it should grapple hopefully, and
with unshrinking confidence, with the
duties of the present and near future.
Recurring to their origin, Republicans
will remember, when the land was the
theatre of a stern and irrepressible con
flict between the demons of slavery and
caste and the spirit of liberty and equality,
when the slave power held great interests
and powerful organizations in its grasp I
and ruled the nation with. imperial sway,
that the founders of the party instructed
by passing events, with oonvictions deep
ened and zeal quickened by the teachings
of history and of holy writ, and inspired
by the deathless words Of the patriots,
statesmen, and heroes of °Ur earlier time,
rose to the exigencies of the hour, opposed
the haughty ambitions, the maddening
passions, the cruel prejudices, and the dis
organiziug theories of the dominating
majority, and, although long overborne
by numbers, still struggled on amid jeers,
insults, mobs, blows, and leseesinationa,
till under the lead of Abraham Lincoln
they achieved success and grasped the
sceptre of political power.
Entering upon its second era, appalling
responsibilities at once arose. The slave
musters, in the pride and arrogance or
power, instantly plunged the nation into
the fire and blood of civil war. Rut the
Republican party rose with the crisis. It
raised money in unstinted measure, or
ganized vast armies, created powerful
navies, fought bloody battles, crushed the
most gigantic rebellion of all recorded hie-
tory, and saved a nation's life. It was
then, amid the clash of arms, that the
publican party saw that slaver i y was the
relentless and unappeasable foe of the
count y, was the inspiration, the heart and
soul of that civil war, and that its death
would be the annihilation of the rebel
lion, the unity of the RepUblie, and the
development of free institutions. Against
cowardly fears, selfish instincts, and un
reasoning passions and prejudice*, it pm,
nouneed the deeps gf that hideous and
horrid syetern of human bondage, though
it was upheld by the aggregated interest*
of three thousand millions of dollars,
hedged about by the accumulated pissions
and prejudices, prides and ambitions of
seven generations, and entrenched within
the social, political, and ecclesiastical or
ganizations and affiliations of life. By a
series of executive and legislative acts it

If there are Republicans who are weary
of the ascendancy of the party which has
achieved such crowning victories, who are
tired of the responsibilities of power, and
wduld relinquish it to other hands, they
should remember that there are none
worthy to accept it. Por surely they can
not fail to see that the Democratic,, party,
by its policy during the closing years of
its power, and by its blind and unrelent
hig opposition to reformatory meastires
while out ofpower, even now, as if ataitten
by judicial blindness, refusing to accept the
constitutional, amendments as lived and ,
ffnal, has demonstrated its utter inoapa..

falb
timid counsels of Conservatism, and the
apostacy of the Executive. Great inter
ests and powerful combinations sought to
so reconstruct the South as to place the
power in the hands of the late slavehold
ing class, and leave the helpless freedmen
in the abject condition of practical serf..
dom. Seldom in history has there been
imposed upon any body of men a work of
greater magnitude or difficulty. The Re
publicans might have shrunk from and
avoided it. They were sorely tempted to
do so. But they resisted the temptation
of official power and patronage, the threats
of Executive dictation, and all other acl
verse influences, and with sublime fidelity
and courage addressed themselves to the
•
herculean task.
To aid in : reorganizing disordered' in
dustries, caring for, protecting, and in
structing the emancipated bondmen in the
new duties of their charged condition, the
Republicans established the Freedmen's
Bureau, which, by the wise expenditure of
few million of dollars, did an incalculable
work for order, peace, and the rehabilita-
tion of Southern society. To reconstruct
rebellions 6tates on the solid basis of equal
rights, they gave. suffrage to the freedmen
in the reconstruction measures. To secure
citizenship and civil rights to a wronged
and hated race, they proposed and adopt
ed the fourteenth amendment, and enact
ed the bill of civil rights. To establish
by irreversible guarantees equal political
rights and privileges, they adopted the
fifteenth amendment, and as a crowning
act for freedom they provided by law for'
the enforcement of those amendments thus
newly enshrined within the Constitution.
Thus the Republicans, against the sternest
opposition, against misrepresentation,
against appalling obstacles, have strug
gled on until the rebel States, reconstruct
ed on the basis of impartial liberty, have
been restored, and the sublime doctrine
of the Declaration of Independence made
assured and practical
,xealities. In the
progress of the ages it has been given to
few, in any form or by any modes, to
achieve a work so vast, so grand, so' bent.-
Relent, so sure, to be reconled by history,
and applauded and remembered by coin

acheived this grand work, hav
ing passed through these three eras of its
history, the Republicn party,. entering
on its fourth era, was summoned to deal
with questions relating to the national
debt, the currency, finances, and taxation,
to reforms in the military, naval, and In
dian service, and whatever remaining
burdens and legacies were left by the war.
Concerning these questions there are ap
parent diversities of interest and real
differences of opinion. The solutions of
of them are embarrassed by grave difficul
ties. They require time as well as fman
cial skill and
.practical statesmanship for
their adjustment • Differences of opinion
on matters so recondite and complex, in
an organization embracing so many men
of large intelligen trainedto habits of
independent thouat, expression, and
modes of actions, are inevitable. They
are indeed to be expected aruLdesired, for
fnam - stich freedom hf dig* ensainn truth is
elicited and proper modes of action are
,deduced. The men, therefore, who stood
so firmly while in a minority, amid the
denunciations, arrogance, and scorn of
power; the men who met the stern exigen
ces oi civil war with such heroic courage,
who assailed the slave power and extirpt
ted the skive system; the men who grap
pled so successfully with the perplexing
and j pregnant issues of reconstruction,
lifted helpless freedom up to citizenship,
exhaited them to the heights of civil and
political rights and privileges, and made
the nation free in fact as well as in name,
should not shrink from the less moment
ous and less embarrassing questions now
before them.
Patriotism, principle, the continued ex
istence, reputation, and renown of the Re
publican party, and a due sense of self-re
spect and pride of character demand that
Republicans now, as in the -past, should
have faith in their rapacity to
,rarry for—
ward to Completion reforms so auspiciously
begun. It came into being as an organi
zation of reform and progress, and should
be ever ready to accept the living issues
of the hour and march abreast with the
spirit of the age. Unaided it has fought
the battles of reform with constancy and
courage. Nor in the work still before it
can it hope for aid from those who still
:cling to the traditions of the past, pride
themselves on their conservatism, and who,
during the conflicts of the past twenty
years have resisted all reform, and mourn
ed over every effete and hateful abuse as
subject to taxation, the revennes oft e
•fiscal year ending 80th of June, 1870, were
nearly four hundred and nine millions of
dollars against less than three hundred
and seventy-one millions for the year end
ing 30th of June, 1889, showing again of
nearly thirty-eight millions of dollars. On
Vie other hand, the expenses of the fiscal
year, 1870, were less than those of 1889 by
more than twenty-nine millions'of dollars,
thus showing an increased revenue and
saving in expenditures of more than sixty
seven millions of dollars in the first fiscal
year of General Grant's administration.
In the last sixteen months of Mr. Johnson's
administration, the receipts from customs
and internal revenue were less than three
hundred and seventy-two millions of dol
lars. During the first sixteen months of
General Grant's administration they were
more than four hundred and sixty-nine
millions, showing an increase of nearly
ninety-seven milliOns of dollars.
Republicans will remember that during
the last two years of Mr. Johnson's ad
ministration he removed Republicans ap
pointed by Mr. Lincoln and others who
adhered to the principles of the Republican
party, and appointed Democrats where he
could do so. The character of these ap
pointments and the demoralizing influence
which his opinions and tsmduct had upon
them were seen in the loss of scores of
millions of dollars of revenue in these
years. The large gain in the collection is
mainly due to the determined and avowed
purpose of Gen. Grant to secure an honest
administration of the revenue laws and the
appointmeut Of Republicans to office earn
estly devoted to his economical policy.
During the recent session of Congress
taxes have been reduced more than $75,-
000,000. The taxes have been -removed
from transportation by canals and rail
ways, from sales by dealers and. manufac
turers. The income tax has been reduced
to 21 per cent. on all Meanies above $2,000,
and it is to expire at the end of two years.
The tax on tea has been reduced from 25
to 15 cents per pound; on coffee from 5 to
3 cents, and the tax on sugar and molasses
has been reduced in the aggregate $12,-
000,000 per annum. By this reduction of
taxation the industries of the people and
the necessaries of life have been relieved
of burdens amounting to millions. The
funding bill is an important financial
measure, which contemplates the saving
of interest upon the public debt by the ex
change of outstanding six per cent. bonds
for those of a lower rate of interest, to the
amount of twenty-six Millions and a half
a year. 'While a reduction in taxes trans
fers the burden of the debt from one year
to another, from one generation to another,
a reduction in the rate of interest is an
actual saving to the country, not only for
the present:generation, but for all time.
And yet these important and beneficial j
financial measures, intended to lighten the
public burdens, received little countenance
and support from. the Democratic party,
whose 'responsibilities for the war, its
taxation, are so fearfully large.
Not faultless, but high, noble, and glori
ous, is the record of the Republican party.
HistorY, will note it, and the world will
gratefully remember it. In the light of
this brief review of its achievements for
patriotism, liberty, justice, and humanity,
should not Republicans, one and all, cling
to their grand organization, rectify its
mistakes, correct its errors, and keep it
true to its past traditions and in
,harmony
with the enlightened and progressive
spirit of the age? So doing, may they not
perpetuate their power until their benefi
cent principles shall become the accepted
policy of the nation?

THE POWER OF A WORD.-A mother on

the right hand a son, sixteen years old,
mad with the love of the sea. And as he
stood by the garden gate one morning she
said: "Edward, they tell me—for I neve r
saw the ocean—that the great temptation
of a seamen 's life is drink. Promise me,
before you quit your mother's hand, that
you.will never drink." "And," said he,
(for he told me the story,)—"l gave the
promise, and I went the globe over, Cal
cutta and the Mediterranean, San Fran
cisco and the Cape of Good Hope, the
north pole and South: I saw them all in
forty.years, and I never saw a glass filled
with sparkling liquor that my mother's
form by the gate did not rise up before
me, and to-day lam innocent of the taste
of liquor.;
Was not that sweet evidence of the
power of a single word? Yet that is not
half. 'For," said he, "yesterday there
caine in% my counting room a man of
forty years ?"
"Do you know me ?"
"No."?
Well," said he, "I was once brought
drunk in your presence on shipboard; you
were a passenger; they kicked me aside;
you took me to your be and kept me
there till I had slept off my intoxication;
you then asked if I had a mother. ; said
I had never known a word from her lips.

DEFLECTIONS ON TITTLE-TATTLE
AND SCANDAL.
Carlyle has very well compared human
ity in a large city to "an Egyptian pitcher
of tamed vipers, each — striving to get its
head above the others."

Many distinctions have been establish
ed, all of them more or less true, but one
of the most forcible is probably this, that.
the true lady, like the true gentleman, in
tuitively shrinks from meddling eolith what
is none of her or his business. Lay this to
heart, dear young reader; study it as a
very practical truth, and no mere theory
of a writer; that the amount of vulgarity
in any mind is always in exact proportion
to the degree in which that mind is oc
cupied with the affairs of other people,
especially of such people whose affairs are
none of our own. Let the thought go
with you through life, let it perch like a
whispering spirit on the back of your chair
at every tea-table; let it be with you ever,
that just so far as you or any one engage
in the diabolically fascinating amusement
of talking about the neighbors, their pri
vate affairs, love engagements, hopes and
fears; just so far you are vrtnAu—decitl
edly, absolutely, and actually mean and
vulgar—and all the soap of explanation
and vindication in the world will not wash
it off. The instant you utter in a matter
which is none of your business (especially
in a merely personal and private matter)
ene word which you would not have spoken
of yourself—then just stop. For though
your family be of the most illustrious, your
fortune and education truly amiable, your
"style" the most distiague, still if you are
a living chronicle and register—a walking
biography of every petty personality whom
you meet—then it will go hard with you
to make us believe that your mind is great
or noble.
This world, this life, is so constituted
that we cannot avoid the petty, the mean,
the personal. At every step it confronts
us. But while some minds rejoice and
burrow in it, revelling in all gossip, and
tattle, and slander, and petty household
isms, treating them all as the familiar loves
of life, there are here and there some who
avoid them; and despite the arguments of
the gossipers and petty grubbers, it is al
ways true that no persons get on better in
this world than those who meddle the
least with what does not conern them, or
what is of no real importance. Chatter
as much as you will on all gossip, that life
is all made up of relations to other people,
and that we cannot think rat/ilia—it al
ways was and always will be a law on
earth that the best, ay, and the happiest
people were those who had the least unasr
iszsa in them, and that the most pitiful
mortals are those whose minds never rise
above little personal relations.
A snob is a jackass or other inferior an
imal in a lion's skin. Be the animal a
puppy, a swine, a tiger, a wolf; or what
you will, he is always a snob. An ill-breci
person is one in whom gross selfishness
continually raw/Meta itself, and in Ahemfenars.s. or a t.u.regaru or me noel; es
tablished for the comfort of others is
frequently apparent. A brute is one in
whom selfishness has become morbid and
unhealthy, whose moral system is diseased,
who gratuitously offends, and who is ac
tually in his degree lunatic. A vulgar
person is on,e whose mind tends naturally
rather to the petty and .personal, - than
toward that which is refined. The first
step away from vulgarity is in letting
other people alone; in not knowing the
names of every engaged couple, in not re
peating scandal to anybody, and in short,
in not gobbling up, like a buzzard, all the
foul and dirty, "spicy, 'personal items, and
"rich revelations" iu which, to their shame
be it said, so many men and women revel.
We are perfectly aware that this turkey
buzzardism or prying cariosity is not
set down as a sin—but as there is nothing
which causes more real suforeng on the
face of the earth—ay, more murders, sui
cides and tears—we ttor one are covincerl
that if there is anything which is punished
in a world to come, it it this very idetical
dirty vice.

tacisArs ON BEE.CIULTURE.
Of all the pests and draw-backs in bee
culture the moth-inffleirle considered by
the novice the Most destructive during the
months of August and September. We
have no faith in "moth-traps," "moth
proof hives," &c. We hive no better, nor
have we ever heard of any other way than
of aiding the bees. To do so successfully,
be sure to keep your bees strong, Next,
keep then ekes, by brushing all the dirt
off the bottom hoards every two or • three
days. The miller deposites her eggs on the
bottom board and around the edge of. the
hive in a Strong colonyi and they are car
ried to the combs on the feet or legs of the
bees, and thus em long the whole interior
of the hive is overrun with worms. The
;.habits of the worm are to eat its way be
tween the brood, and being thus protected,
it spins a kind of silken web along the
passage as it moves on with great rapidity
and destruction. If the bees find ..the
lurking place of one of these pests they
forthwith cut out a number of cells, and
by this means often destroy many young
bees, but it must be done to save the rest.
Strong colonies will not be injured near as
soon as weak ones.

BY CRAULEEI 0. LELAITD
tinder the laws of Ohio, as amended at
the last session of the Legislature, IC
would seem that the opponents of the
liquor traffic could need nothing but the
public sentiment to give effect to legisla
tion- The
ts as t Sundusky ./Legister states the
am endmenouovni:
"It is provided that every husband, wife,
child, parent, employer or other person
injared•in body or estate by an intoxica
ted person, or in consequence of intoxica,
tion, shall have a right of action against
the person or persons selling the intoxica
ted person the liquor resulting in such
intoxication. This right of action isgood,
not merely against the liquor seller, but
the owner of the building in which the
the liquor is sold.
"The law absolutely holds the landlord
responsible for the wrongs committed by
persons who become intoxicated with
liquor sold on the landlord's premises.
This ought to be maintained in the civii
courts, and shall bring judgment, not
only for actual, . but for any exemplary
damages. The wife of the dnznkard thus
has a positive remedy against the person
who sells her husband liquor, not only for
violence she may suffer at the hands of
the drunken husband, but for loss of time,
and we believe under this law for loss of
happiness. The child has the same right
of action.
•
"We doubt if the Legislature could pw a
a more sweeping act, and one more calcu
lated to put every liquor dealer on his
guard. For instance, ifa buiklingbe des
troyed by fire, caused by the negligence or
carelessness of an employee, when sub
negligence or carelessness is the result of
intoxication, all the owner of the destroy
ed property need do, is to prove in civil
courts that a certain liquor dealer supplied
his careless servant with intoxicating fluid
and to show the amount of loss, and he
recovers, if the dealer is worth the amount,
"the full measure of his damages asdecided
by the court. If a man is.set up - 3n or in
jured in person by an intoxicated penzen,
he can recover the full measure of his
damages from the dealer who furnished
the liquor.
•
"If two men become intoxicated, and
in the midst of a drunken row ane murders
the other, the wife of the murdered man
has a right of action against the dealer
who supplied.the murderer and the mur
dered with liquor; and the wife of the
murderer also has a right of action against
the dealer for any daumges:ahe may sus
tain by reason oof the husband's crime.
With such a law on the statute books, it
becomes liquor dealers to be careful. 4
"This legislation is based upon the eamo
principle as that which holds the owner ; 14
responsible for all the damage done by an
ox "wont to push with the horn"or by any
other vielous animal. As such owner is •
presumed to know the character of his an..
final, and hence bound to keep hint Ono=
fined; so the liquor seller, and his huidkord
as partner, are held to knew the tembmey
of intoxiaating liquors, and. time
are re-
'Tensible for the oonsequerteenf whit they .
sell. We think that from the days of
Mossy to the present time, the einteTtantse
of this principle-luta never been called in
quettion: It simply holds a man respon
ibis for hisown acts." •

Adversity iz a poultesa which reduces

even a boy never feels half so good as

Pedantry iz the science ov investing
