LAST Friday the stock market had the most pronounced boom of the year.

NEARLY all the papers are offering premiums, and we do not intend to be behind the times.

Their pretended honesty and actual iniquity; their broken faith and con tradictory platforms.; their reform eampaign and "bar'!" to buy electors; their free trade heresies and financial hodgepodge ; their splendid pro*. sea and beggarly. performance ; till the hetrogeneous, irreconcilable tie ments that make up that ill.starred party must The in the , word, otherwise the premium will not be paid. The word may be in any language,'-liv;ng or dead, and may , have four hundred syllables; but it mast be in a single; connected word and appropriate. Men who have .spent a few years of their tithe on A perpetual motion ma chine have the training necessary to fit them for an effort to secure this prize; but - no one is excluded fiom the contest, and none need hesitate for fear of successful competition or because they dislike to tate our money DEMOCRATS AND THE CONAIML , - _ ?lON. There is nothing to which the Dem . - °untie mind clings. with such desper ate tenacity, nothing which it rever ences so. much—in -public—as the Constitution. It is the talismanic word which opens the flood gates of Democratic enthusiasm and a never ailing text for Democratic eloquence Sometimes statesmen .of that party hare been known" t 6 hesitate about expressini an opinion; and with pol icy to wait until a measure was suc cessful before endozsing - it. Bat on the Constitution they. here alwa}•s been ready; it was the one thing they could feel safe in advocating, and with ever ready speech they have thrown that instrument into every mportant debate in which their par ty has been engaged. . The path of the Democracy is marked by broken promises and the, debris of many unrighteous schemes, which, thanks to the oppositiorOnet destruction, and during. the last twen ty yea' s their condfict has not- gener ally been such'as to merit the appro• val of honorable men. There is one bright spot, hoivever, in tyre t shnd history of the party, one glistyning trait than shines out bright and clear Against the dark back-ground, a pub lic, boastful love of the Constitution It is their cloud by day, their pillcr of fire by night; and almost di ily is this great instrument called upon to validate some Democratic iniquity. In 1861 when the Smith seceded and the unity and existence of the republic were in peril, the Constitu tion was the shield behind which the Democracy sought shelter when ,ac cused of disloyalty. According to . the Constitution'," we were told, this government bail no power to coerce a state and compel it to remain in the. Union- Under the slender powers delegated to the National Govern ment there was no right .to suppress secession or Save the nation from destruction. The nation must remain quiet and-see star after star tom from flag because there was no constitn tional right to, protect it from saeli violation. , Southern soldiers might seize Moultrie, Sumpter, and the na tionat stores in every city where the state government did not objeCt, and .there was no redress,. because the Constitittion_held .saertd the rights of every state, and. would .not dese crate them by sending-. armed men where its' - gOvernor was not willing they should come. When paper money became a necessity t 6 rroteet the country, Democrats objected to it because it was unconstitutional ; and all through the war, whenever an importint.rneasure came up they op posed the ,Constitution to its passage.. It became chronic with them ; and it is said that a prominent Democratic statesman attending church. awoke just as the clergyman .said; " The mercy of God endureth forever," and, thinking he was in the hall of Con gress and not wishing to rose an - op, portunity to repeat his watchword, he declared solemly, "The Constitu= tion prohibits it.", _ • The' recent debate on the anti_ polygamy bill shows that they have not forgotten their old cry. A num ber of Democrats while protesting their hatred of polygamy; still refuse to vote for the bill becausetit : is not constitutional. Edmunds, Uoar and Bayard, the' ablest lawyers in the Senate, declared it to be conStitution, al; but of the forty-two D4nocrats who voted against the bill thearajor; ity defended their action by anap peal to the Constitution. Is this never to stop? Will the Democrats always hide behind ,the coverof a misinterpreted Constitu Lion ? Must we always bear "-not that we love our country les4 but the Constitution more ?" We had lioped that after the war was over, 4con, struetion completed, the constitution. al amendments ratified, specie pay— ment resumed, and the country safe ly established on a prosperdris era, we should have no'more of the-Aron ic insanity of Democrats on'the sub ject of the Constitution. But we arc . disappointed ; and again the'much• abused instrument is Called into.par tisan service to defend action other wise indefensible.

Why doesn't he call it lying as Webster does?, It is asserted that Mary Anderson .is worth $300,000. We don't believe it.

The Secretary of the Treasury has issued._ another „call for bonds. If this calling continues, editors of country newspapers will be compell ed to subsist without their usual- in come .derived froth coupon clipping; and unless Folger can be impeached trouble may be expected:from them. From the able management of the Philadelphia Press we had always supposed the editor to be man of yeirs and experience but when we' see whole columns devoted to kissing, we lose faith,_and are forced to con clude either that he is a young man, or an old widower advertising for a wife. notice that 'the editors who have been writing on " How .:-Ameri can girls kiss," say nothing about the diStinetive kiss, of a Pennsylvania girl although they comment On that of the damsels of many of the-states. There are several reasons ..for this, one suggested by our experience be : ing that . the girls of the Keystone - State are s not profuse in .bestowing .kisses upon editors. Miss Kate Field has - written an.ar tide in which she endorses knee breeches and refers in ' disrepectful terms to the "calfless" who would be injured by such a style. We think Kate may. with propriety take the sage advice : ".Never do nothing which it .ain't your forte." What does she know about men's clothes? She isn't even married and only shows her ignorance and folly in at tempting to discuss a subject she doesn't understand. Hereafter •we hope Kate will devote her time to crimping pins, false curls, Corsets and articles concerning which it is rea sonable that she should hare know'. edge. lay Gould recently, refuted .a ru mor that he was bard-up by exhibit ing $53,000,000 worth of securities ; and the'papers are referring to it as a very smart performance. If there is anysgenini in that kind of a refu tation we would like to knoti where it is. It strikes us that any one could refute stories charging strait ened circumstances if he hatl• $53,- 000,000 at command. When a man las.only ten cents in, the world and his butcher is clamoring forlhe pay ment of a bill of-ten dollars, then it requires genius to-: make the skepti cal meat man believe that he is all right, but has good reason for pest . poning payment for a few days. - The man who can do that displays ability whiCh entitles 'him . . to compliment but we give it as our beat'ljudgment that Jay Gould's performance. was very stupid. The Government can never be re stored or reformed except from the inside and by active and intelligent action of the executive.

His vest 'l llllB of blue denim which fastened.with tin pantaloons buttons ; and his pantaloons were oi large checked, gray and black `Kathie - I[y Jean._ We wished this last garment Might - hav'e been zed, to carry out the promise of pittriOtic santiment conveyed by , the coat and yea; but truth compels us to state that it is the selection of his ward robe, Jonathan' is influenced by no sen.: timent except economy and utility. Theie was in ahsen‘ of - fit in his gar ments which gave evid:.nes of the philoso phy of the owner and the carelessness of Ih's tailor. In all of them length was sacrificed to breadth and, especially in the piiiitaloons, this peculiarity was .dis- • tressingly noticeable:, _ They flatly. refus ed to break joints- with either shoes or stockings, and left .a zone of—well, of limb exposed, which zone did duty as torrid, temperate and frigid according to the temperature which surrounded it At the waist the panialoons Made 'np for their miserly length by such in abnor mal development, that Jonathan !Irked like s very small corn cob surrounded by a very large husk. They were not becoming to Joasthito's style of beauty ; but a great man like Mi. Whittle,' can i4noria his raiment and depend upon upon his own intellectual greatness for recognition. Thenext thing in order is the shirt which only demands notice because the extremely low cut of his s eat " leaves so much of that necessary article exposed. It has no distinctive color ; but is a combination of all, although the gound work was at aormi time probably white. The single button below the collar which holds the front together, is of brilliant scarlet, 'flecked with white, and instrik ing contrast to the, sober hues arround it. His shoes are larger than an Elmira editor would dare ascribe to a Bingham ton girl, and were apparently made by a blind cobbler. They were not made short like the pantaloons ; but stretched away into dim distance so very far , that aj wag called them eternity„ because he said they would 'leiter end; For sqaare 'feet of sole-leather surface they were, never excelled even in Waverly, and such words as immense, prodigious and enormous, do them feeble justice. At his neck was a simple paper collar which had been turned,, and his wrists were adorned with a pair of paper -cuffs. His cuff buttons were adroitly .made from brass pantaloons' buttons fastened together by wire, thus making the fash ionable linked:button so much admired by some. A stove-pipe hat of monstrous architecture completed the dress of Jona , than Whittle, President of the glorious W. P. C. C. He was not well dressed, not even respectably dressed if one should judge him by an ordinary - standard ; but men*of genius are permitted to indulge in eccentricities of dress which others must deny themselves and Jonathan shall - pass uncensured. Hie tom and. face were as original as his clothes, and were saturated with phi losophy and orlilnality such as no com mon man possesses. He was long and lean, his arms and legs of such slenler size and extraordinary length, 'that one wordered that-his large hands and feet didn't break-- them off : and his spinal colunan.was full or strange .curves and extravagant crooks *deli , recalled the story of the "Crooked , man," and alto gether. his form was- such as a boy Would make from small pieces of mud hastily put together. His face was a striking one, at least strikingly homely, some of its features having a picturesque ugliness that was terrible to see. His hair was sandy and coarse, and stood upaa if electrified. It was not long enough to bang down on his shoulders ; brit still quite long, and with a square cut, as if it had all been _gathered in a bunch and cut at one stroke by a dull pair of &ears. His eyea were dark iron gray, small and piercing, and were never quiet, but kept continu ally glancing around to tind , Out some thing new.. His mustache and whiskers rioted in untrimmed luxuriance all over his large face : But his nose was the fea ture l•aving the most originality. It was of hawk shape, very large, and very sharp, and possessing a remarkable tendeticy to sniff. By some Itisfortune this im portant member hod'a strong curve to the East which made it somewhat in trusaive to a person walking on his left ; but it only added to the individuality of his appearance and as it has never put oat any compan'ons eye, the misfortune came to be considered an advantage, as it rather folded upon his cheeks What would b..ve been a troublesome 'projection had its whole length been in front. This was Jonathan Whittle, Esquire, who sat on Tuesday evening :last on his historic keg, surrounded by an admiring, expectant audience. When Jonathan arose, a murmur of enthusiasm ran through the crowd and all felt that thAnystery of the blue let ters was to be solved ;.but the curious crowd was doomed to disappointment. "Fellow members," said Jonathan, "it is not fitting that I should desecrate the day on which the sun crosses the line by any remarks upon a mere earthly scheme. at the next meeting I will • explain all ;. WA no More to-night." ' The Bast bad gone forth, and doonied to:another week's tantalizing curiosity, ; the members again flied down the hem- .- lock stair and - dispersed. An element of superstition had been added to the potent force of curiosity and every member of the W. P. C. C. went home to ponder on the greatness and wisdom of the oracle. _ _ MARLIN WAnD.

The levees is may cases were _carried away, or covered with water so as to be of no real benefit: The supplies furnished by the government' are said to be in adequate to teed the starving popT !talon, and those in actual distress and in danger a starvation are num bered by thousands. In one county alone there are 9,000 destitute peo ple. The relief wanted is for more than the time being, as after the wa ter, subsides_ the people will be. in nearly as bad condition as at. present, and they will have to be provided for until May. The government is sup plying tens of thousands of rations daily to the destitute whose homes and property have been destroyed by the terrible floods ; and yet all along the line of the Mississippi, from Illinois to the Gulf, come pray ers for more. There has been no .such devastation by water for years, some say not during the century, and the people who are suffering ask for present . help, and also for future pro te,ctton from. similar disasters. Some of the papers assert that these floods are usually followed Iby an increased yield of cotton; but, the Southern pa pers deny thia; and solicit Congres ' atonal aid for levees and general pro itection trim water. The Springfield Republican has the following sensible article on the question of protection: I "The ••Father of Waters' is advertis ing himself regardless of elpense this spring , and before a congress which is supposed to have vast`sur• plus revenues at 'its disposal. The ififiit impulse is that 'something must I be done' to prevent such floods in the 'future. We don't know. why. There are some things which cannot be helped, and Abe Mississippi hats fur nished the most eloquent congres-, sional orators with many a fine trope to idastrate the irresistible and the inevitable. It will spill over. Pea_ pie who live along side of it ought, to be aware of that fact. It, overflows for over hundreds of miles in length, and attains many miles in width. It always.will probably. So does the Nile, but the Egyptians never thought of wrestling with their great monster of nature. They knew better. They adapted their agriculture to the river, not trying to make the river conform to their agriculture. They accepted the serviceof the Nile as the great fertilizer of their fields, and needed no eruvian guano islands . to sustain the'fecundity of their soil. It strikes p that the Mississippi valley ougkt to take a hint flom this policy: With a boundless continent 4efore us, it is poor policy to locate ,Population be low the line of high water. long the river. The period of ;annual recur, renew of flood should be prudently observed by the migration of cattle and people-from-the lipids imperiled, . .and by other preparations, to save loss. As to levees and Protective works, the question of :their mainte *ante is mainly on' of investment. Will they succeed an will they pay? . 1 1. If they will, it is d i, ectly to the in terests of the. States, which alone have the privilege of taxing real es tate, to build and maintain them. The State of Mississippi is vast and rich; so are Louisiana and Arkansas. I These States can readily borrow and Spend any sums they please upon levees, in pursuance of .a policy; of reclamation. . New York built the Erie canal, and Massachusetts bored the Hoosac tunnel, at a cost ofI.:20,- 000,000, as investments. The Mis sissippi States, if they care etiough for the land of the Mississippi bot toms' to reclaim it, have a much surer enterprise before them. Holland wrested from the ocean a foothold for her swarming millions; the MieA sissippi States will do the same, if they ever feel the need of more agri cultural territory." ' ' The Antl7Pplygamy fill. The provisions of the Anti-Polyg amy bill may 'be succinctly-stated. It re ttfirms that polygamy is a mis demeanor which, upon proper con viction:Vital be punished by fine and imprisonment. It excludes from jury service polygamists, ,whether .practi cally or theoretically such: It makes ample provision for amnesty, at• the hands of the President, for past of fences, upon proper,conditions. It legitimates the issue of Mormonsmar riages born before the Ist of Janus, ry, 1883. It disfranchises all polyg amists or bigamists. It debars them from holding any office or ,place of public trust, honor or emolument.in any territory under the jurisdiction of, the, United States. It provides for a Board to be appointed by the 'President, by and with the advice of the Senate, which shalt canvass all •,the votes at elections, and issue cer tificates to such -persons as shall ap pear to be lawfully elected. The members of the. Board are to be drawn from not Tess than two politi cal parties. The first powers , of. the Board are unavoidably large, but they wilt become smaller after a re formed Legislature can properly pro vide by law for the- reorganization of the Territory.— Tribune.
