Tho bomooratio National Conven
tion, to bo hold in Chicago next month,
will bo composed of 820 delegates but
tho eightoon delegates from tho Terri
tories and tho District of Columbia will
not be allowod to vote. As tho two
thirds rule will prevail in tho Demo
cratic Convontion, it will require 685
votes to nominate tho candidates for
Proaident and Vico President.
Tho Philadelphia Press is making
an effort to obtain 20,000 from par
ties interested in n high protective
tariff. With this inouoy It proposes to
pay itself for papers to bo sent broad
cast over the country during tho cam
paign. Wo always supposed that the
Press advocated "a protective tariff ns
a matter of principle, but this looks
very much as though it has adopted
that theory as a money-making scheme.
Tho Army bill, as amended in tho
Senate, appropriates nearly 300,000
moro than tho Houso voted" tho Legis
lative, Executive, and Judicial bill, as
enlarged by tho Senate committee, ap
propriates over a million additional.
Every appropriation bid thus far, if wo
rightly remember, has been increased
in tho, Senate, tho addition to tho Navy
bill being tho greatest of all. Tho
friends of tho Biver and Harbor job
are relying on this peculiarity of tho
Senate for adding several millions to
that annual steal. Yet all theso meas
ures combined sink into insignificance
compared with tho Senate's proposed
amendments to tha Mexican Pension
bill, whioh would take moro than $300,
000000 out of tho Treasury.
Apropos of cremation, there are sev
eral interesting reports among the
medical reports of tho Imperial Marl
time Customs of China. Ono states
that children aro sometimes cremated
from superstitious reasons. Where
several young children in a family have
died in succession it is believed that if
ono is cremated tho next ono born will
survive. Thero is only ono Buddhist
templo in which tlio inmates aro cre
mated. Tho simple method consists in
placing tho body in a stono seat inside
a small dome-like building, in tho tem
ple grounds. Tho interior of this
structure communicates with tho open
air by a small door. Around the, body
a quantity of firewood and charcoal is
placed ; this is sot on fire and tho door
is closed untjl completo combustion has
takep, place. Tho bones iaro collected
and placed in a jar, which is kept in a
mortuary chapel.
Every Democratic voter of this
county is interested in seeing that the
party nominations for county offices
Bhould bo made fairly aud honestly, so
that ho questions can be raised after
tho convention that may lead to dis
sensions, and thereby weaken the vote
for President in November. To secure
this result thero should be a full attend
anco at tho delegate election. It is too
oflen tho case that the delegate election
is considered a matter of little impor
tance, and many men will not tako the
trouble to go to tho polls. Under tho
present rules of the party, tho nomina
tions are virtually made by the people
at tho primaries, and tho convention is
simply tho machine which declares tho
result. Iu this way a small portion of
the party may make the nominations,
whereas tho candidates named should
bo tho choice of a majority. A full
voto and unbiassed expression of tho
people in t)io selection ot delegates
who cannot be tampered with, will
leave up room for charges of corrup
tlon of any kind. Let us try it that
way once.
In making a selection of a candidate
for President tho Democratic party
must look at things ai they are. Thoy
aro confronted by an opposition ticket
that itf acknowledged to bo a strong
one, and ono that will command the
support of tho great body oi republi
can voters. This must bo met with a
candidato on our side who can draw
out; a full democratic vote. Thero are
enough democrats in the countrv to
elect a President, and wise action on
tho part of tho Chicago convention
will bring about this result. But it
will not be wiso to select a candidate
simply beoauso ho can draw tho voto
of dissatisfied republicans, nor beoauso
hp has been nominated by several other
so-called parties. This wpuld bo a ropo
tition of tho Greely blunder of. 1872,
and it would undoubtedly meet with
tho same disastrous defeat. Thero are
dissensions in tho opposition, and it is
evident that many influential republi
cans will not support Blaine, but when
taken in comparison with ilm mliilnna
of voters of tho country their number
is so small tuat It would bo suicidal to
namo a candidato at their dictation,

Onu of llioso irliastly blinies if inter
nii.'nt before lifo has becomu extinct,
which cause an involuntary shudder of
horror to paw through lliu reader, is
current in Wheeling. Tho victim, so
tho story cocs, is a vounii married ladv
of twenty years. In May of last vear,
three months after her marriage, tho
lady was taken violently ill, and nftcr
lingering for ton days, apparently died.
Thero were certain peculiarities nbout
tno nppearanco of tlio supposed corpae,
however, which caused a suspicion in
tho mind of tho attending physician
that his intlont might be m a trance;
but alter keeping tho body for four
days, with no signs ot returning life,
tho remains wero consigned to tho
grave, temporary interment being mado
iii tho family lot in an abandoned
gravoyard. A for days ngo the
body was disinterred pi lor to removal
to another cemetery. To tho siunrlse
of tho sexton the collin lid showed
signs of displacement, and on its being
removed the grave-digger was horrified
to find tho remains turned faeo down
ward, the hands filled with lone; tufts
of hair torn from tho head, and the
face, neck and bosom deeply scratched
and scarred, while tho lining cf tho cof
fin had been torn into fragments in the
:iesncrato eltorts ot tno entombed vic
tim to escape from her terriblo fate.
Since tlio discovery the young husband
has bcon prostrated and his life is do

Trades for Young lien.
Tho fact that apprentices aro be
coming fowor each year has become a
tiuittul subject tor discussion, SOtno
ascribe this state of affairs to tlio pol
icy of tlio trades unions aud others to
the unwillingness of the rising genera
tlon to engage In any occupation less
"genteel'' than that of a dry-goods
clerk, or a book-keeper, or a vender of
drugs nnd toilet articles. Parents are
lamely responsible for the increasing
lack of interest in tho various trades.
Thoy fail to1 study the character of
their boys, and, abovo all, fail to incul
cate in their youthful minds a proper
respect for' tho dignity of labor. Somo
pcoplo think they have dono their
whole dutv when thev furnish their
children with tho necessary books and
send them to school. In truth their
duty has hardly begun. In tho first
placo tho every-day lifo of tho lad
should bo thoroughly familiar to his
parents. If he manifests any special
aptitude tho parent should be on hand
to seo that it is developed. As it is,
tho average boy becomes his own mas
ter the day ho enters school. In timo
his ideas become inflated, and at tho
ago when ho ought to be wearing tlio
apron of an artisan ho eschews trades
and becomes littlo better than a raero
looker-on in tho world. Unless pa
rents assume tho responsibility that1
rightfully attaches to them, tho skillful
mechanic will be missing ono of these
days, and in his placo will bo found a
foreigner. Ihe bare thought of such
a state of affairs should1 be sufficient to
create a decided change in tho present
method in Tearing the youth of our
land. Buffalo Courier.
Mr. Eandall and the Democratic Nomination.
A writer in tho Pittsburgh Post
presents a series of oxcellent reasons
for nominating Mr. Samuel J. Randall
as the Democratic candidate for tho
Presidency:
"Becauso he la a tried man, and not an experi
ment. He was a Democrat In tho days when It
tried men's souls to bo Democrats, and was always
true and unntnehtng, never once tattering In his
fidelity to the old party when her ranks ycrc
broken anil tho banner trampled In tho dust. Has
tho Democratio party no gratitude ?
"Becauso ho la an honest man ; and In these
days ot fraud nnd dishonesty on the part ot public
men, good old-fashioned honesty Is tho grand req
uisite ot all. For upwards of twenty years Samuel
J. Randall has been In public life, and whllo hun
dreds ot his fellows have fallen scathed and black
ened by fraud and dishonesty, hlj worst enemy
ha3 not charged anything upon Mm of a dishonor,
ablo character. It Is a noblo thing to be said of n
man when It can bo truthfully said.
"Becauso ho can carry Pennsylvania affalns,t
Blaine This Is apparent to" all wholook beneath
the surface. Ask tho Republicans who are' not
willing to voto for Blaine, and nine out of every
ten will say, we prefer UandalL, becauso wo be
lieve him to be both capable andlionest.'
"Becauso he occupies tho only sate ground on
tho question of a tariff. We want n man who has
Conservative views on that question. Every think
lng man knows that any change In our Import du
ties would cause a financial wreck In this country.
Mr. Handall by bis conservative course saved us
from this, Bosldcs, tho Democratic party Just now
havoamore pressing Issue to meet, that Is, tho
question whether tht3 country Is to bo any longer
under tho control ot thieves. Let them address
themselves to that question at Chicago, tho tariff
can abide awhile. And, at all events, the man
who thinks he can lay downs turlft plank at Chi
cago for every Democrat ot this vast country to
walk on 13 In danger ot lunacy.
There are many other reasons why Mr: Handall
should recelvo the nomination attbo hands ot the
party ho has served so long and well, but let this
sumpo for the present. They come from tho rank
and rile, and aro addroscd to those who really de
sire the triumph ot honssty and truth over fraud
and dishonesty."
Mr. Randall would make a very
strong candidate and a first-rate Presi
dent.! But can ho be nominated!
Would that this question could bo an
swered affirmatively 1
The Games of .Poverty.
Tho reasons wiy the poor aro al
ways with us it might'b'o worth wjiilo
to inquire into much more parofiifly
and systematically than has, jet been

Nine-tenths of all tfjo poverty was

Listen for Logan!
This is going to bo nrenl lively cam
paign. Tho republican candidates
mlist divert the popular consideration
from the humcroui murky attach'
ments to tho record of their tleket'H
head, Mr. Jisoo Bi.Aini:, ns well ns from
a point or two perhaps in tho history
of their ticket's tail, Jack Looan. Tho
means on which thoy most rely to do
this is talk. Thero will bo all sorts of
talk, and much of itj lots of bluster
and brag, of whoops and hullabaloo
and eagle screams from Ui.aink. nnd
howls and yells, perhaps both Yankee
and rebel, from Looan. Tho air will
bo full of tho revolutions nnd fights
of tho past, and the possible nnd proba

ground will "bo strewn with tho frag

From the Albany Argu.
TJio Araus has the word of Ex-Gov
ernor Harris M. Plaisted, of Maine
that, to his personal knowledge, James
jjr. jjiaino is tho author of tho circular
inserted within this article; Tho circu
lar was employed in tho 1875 political
campaign by tho republican state com
inuteo ot Maine, and of that committee
Mr. Blaino was then the chairman. It
,was used in tho Fourth congress dis
trict c: mat state, and thousands upon
thousands of it, woro sent to voters,
under tlio orders and by the hand of
James Q. Blaine. Tuis is tho circu

Do the Protestant Democrats of the Fourth dis

iogetlheso prominent men m Congress. They
have now four members of tho Unlted'statessen
