Its center moving westward-one thousand miles sinoe 1790, ia eloquent with the founding of oities and the birth of Stales.. New settlements, clearing the forests and ' subduing the iraines, ana aaaing lour mrmons to the lew thousand farms whtkb. were the support of the early Republic, create one of the great granaries of ' the world, and open exhaustless"reservoirs of national wealth. The industries which the first act of our first administration souchtto encourace.ynow eive remuner ative employment to more- people than inhabited the Republic when first established. The-grand total of their annual output of seven thousand millions of dollars ia value places the tlfiited Sta'es first among the manufacturing countries of the earth. One-half the total mileage of all the railroads and one-quarter of all the.telegrsph lines of the world within our borders testify to the volume, variety and value of an internal commerce which makes these States"," if need be, and if wisely used, independent and self-sup porting. Ofho hundred years of develop ment under favorable ana unfavorable political conditions have brought the sum of our national wealth to a figure which has passed the results of a thousand years for the motherland herself, otherwise the richest of all modern empires. During this generation a civil war of unequaled magnitude caused the expenditure and loss of eisht billions of dollars. asd killed over six hundred thousand ana permanently aisnmea over a minion gallant men, and yet the Impetuous progress of the North and the mar vale us development of the new and free South have obliterated the -evidences of destruc tion, and, in ail save political questions, made the war a memory only, hare stimulated produoi ion uutil our annual sur plus nearly equals that of Enalsnd, France, and Germany combined. The teeming millions ot Asia till the patient soil and work the shuttle as-their lathers had done for ages; modern Europe has felt the influence and received the benefit of the incalculable multiplication of force by inventive genius sinoe the Napoleonic wars; and -yet only 270 years after the little bandof -pilgrimi landed On riymouin nook our people, numbering Ishs thsn ono-tiftoonth of the inhab itants of the globe, do one-third of its minlotr, one fourth of its mattufseturinir. -oue-ni:th of its agrioultare, and own one gixtn or its wealth. Tail realism of material prosperity, surpassing the wildest crentions of the romancers who have astonished and de lighted inank nd, only serves to more plainly point the dangers ot tho present and menace for the future it the virtue, intelligence and independence of our people are not equal to the wisit regulation of its uses and the stem prevention of its abuses. Following the growth and power of the exeat factors whose noereaation of canits! made possible the tremendous pace of thosettfemdnt of our national domain, the building of our great cities, and the opening of the lmoB of communication whioh have unified our country and croated our resources have come national and State legislation nl and supervision. la this legislation, and the hands to whioh it is delegated, rests the (treat danaer to whioh our liberties aud our prosperlty, onr national existenoe in exposed.

his conduct toward and treatment of those with whom, in the course of his chosen avoootion, he is brought iu contact It will also be granted that tho ordinary rules wbiob govern mankind are equally applicable to the class whioh we are accustomod to regard as politicians. It follows, if those propositions be true, that those who most nearly approach the rules of intercourse which the experience of apes has shown to be the best adapted to humanity in ,its relations to its component parts, should be the most successful as politicians. Bat is this true? It needs but a glanoe at the political arena of to. day to establish the fact, most apparent, that a sincere regard fdr tbg laws which society has established for -its own protection is by no means necessary to insure political success. It therefore becomes a proper subjeot of inquiry and aotion upon the part of all whose earnest efforts are directed to the task of improving our systems of partisan politics. And in these inquiries it is well to ascertain what is meant by success. In its broad sense, the word may be taken to mean continuous promotion until the aspirant teaches the front rank, and is universally acknowledged as a leader. Ability must necessarily be a prerequisite ot snob o dontummationi In iti Ordinary acceptation') it mean the bow) y any methodsi to reach A medium height, where recognition comes in the shape of a certain fixed remuneration. TO do this ability, except of a certain low order, t not necessary : and it is here that we may look for and find the cause of so general a neglect of the ordinary rules of social intercourse and actual honesty among those who are termed politicians, those to whom the public delegate their authority, and those who, in faot, select and elect onr officials, from the highest to the most humble.
The field of politics has become a field ot battle, and in the turmoil and strife attendant upon any action where man is ptted against man, there is neither time nor inclination to pay attention to any of the niceties whioh oil the wheels of social progress; but in almost every other department of social life we find men regulating their conduct toward each other with mora regard for the decencies of life and the demands of honor. In politics alone do we find cruelty, falsehood, meanness the rule rather than the exception. In the gladiatorial contests of ancient Borne the successful combatant spared his prostrate antagonist until the inverted thumbs indicated the desire of the spectators for the finishing stroke. In modern warfare the Btiiking of the flag or the waving of a flag of trace is the signal for an instantaneous cessation of hostilities. In the prize-ring a blow delivered after a fall givea the nominal victory to the vanquished. A -commander who fires into the ranks of his opponents after -they have given the tokens of submission is a murderer. In the grade of political warfare with whiob.ihe average American ia most familiaeretWhich begins in the ward canons, ia carried into the beargarden of CoDgressi-arid does not end even at the White House he who spares his defeated opponent, even after he has crushed him, is held as little better than a fool, is branded a 'traitor. not to honor or to country, but to party. In the other battles ot life the juvenile rule of fair play, "take one of your own size, " is gen-erally-regarded. In politics, no antagonist is too small or too insignificant to roceive killing attentions. Hurt or harm to. the country -or general prosperity receives no consideration, the opposition must be killed thus saitb, throueh their -chosen political -leader, the people; There is no culture in polities, but there is a point beyond whioh brutality is unnecessary. Tho people will ever applaud a contest between equals, for tbey ean see that in such a contest lies their hope of Rood- government. Why should the people stand idle and quiet when one man or part, bavin? the other down, uses every fol means to keep him under foot and thus teaoh him the doctrine of a political hereafter by mauling him and dragging his political carcass until it is worn to shreds? It is neither edifying nor profitable,'1 Still more disgusting and dangerous is the spectacle, so frequently presented, ot some leader visiting upon an inferior who has incurred his.' displeasure, or who has refused to acknowledge bis dictatorship, the brutality of a slave-driver. The contumely of aa inferior in position is the impertinence of a child. To visit upon him the full force and power of temporary, and, perhaps, accidental superiority, is to display nothing more than tha strength of the bruto who belabors ' with band and toot the unfortunate weakling) . rr ., ... n . .i wao uas susuuva uiiu. i ia Buperuuoug to term this cowardice; it is, in polities, better to regard suoa oonduot as a confession of an inability to contend upon equal terms. And yet it wonld not be difficult to enumerate instances, within the knowledge ef every reader, ia wbieh
the inferior Jiss been followed in bis business -and social relations with an undying and an unmitigated - persecution, at cruel as any of the political or religious horrors -of the middle nges. When Philip II. took from the lelatires of the victims of the Inquisition all the rights of humanity, except the bare right to breathe the air which his villainies had poisoned, intelligent men denounced him as a fit instrument of the Prince
of Darkness; and yet the tactics" of rump, unmodified in the slightest degree, are perpetuated to-day by ineh who bnly lack ths opportunity to equal him iu villains Aud thin is "Free America," with the voters, 'the people," looking on snu appiauuiug. now long can liioeny , live unqer suen rule as tnls? The corrupt use of money for the purposo Of controlling elections has grown to such huge proportions, and has become so open and flagrant, that the most careless citizen most acknowledge it, and the fact must or should alarm every man who prizes the safety of our country's institutions above the success of any one individual of party. Success is purchased with a proliflo expenditure of money, which osuld ba secured in no other way. and ia direct opposition to public opin-J ion, ana against tne desire arrq wienes Of a large majorityxff the voters. Yet tho defeatod tamely submit, year after year. Men elected to reponsble positions by a confiding or leader-driven people barter away their honor and manhood for a paltry sum of money, and vote for men and measures' in open violation ot their sense of duty, and against both their conscience and judgment; and sell themselves, .body and soul, to a wealthy aspirant for exalted honors, or soulless corporations bent upon public plunder. This ia no fancy picture drawn from the realms of imagination, but a stern, unpleasant truth, seen even through the flowing flag of Independence Day, and forcing itself upon the thinking mind while ears are filled with the oration roared forth by some politician who is glorifying "our country "and himself. When William M. Tweed, better known ns "Boss Tweed," ws at the zenith of his power and popularity; when tho Empire Btate" of Tsew York lay at his feet; when Governor and Congressmen, United States Senators,, and even oandi--dates for President basked in the sunshine of his favor, he retained his autocratical power by the profligate use of money, and those who benefited by his power well knew that the money wag filched from the public funds of the people, and scattered by hinvwith a lavish hand among the tools he ad bought to do his bidding in corrupting the channels of power and influence. And when investigation began this crimiual ohief, secure in his hold upon the publio'g throat, coolly tipped haok in his easy chair and said: 'What are you goiag to do ahqnt it?" There is not a section of this country free from an actual or aspirant Tweed, and the more successful in following that high priest of peculation, the , more bdly does the imitator ask the same qdestionf and it is time for the public to look ahead;' and ask, 'Whst are wo going to do about it? Ambition and honorable strife for pubHo position are commendable, but this ambition should extend beyond the desire for publio plunder and self-aggrandize. meht, and the struggle should be conducted in a manner becoming reputable, respeoiable citizens of a free country, working for the best interests of the whole people. Politics is a necessary fac'or in- a free government, and public disousiens are eminently proper and desirable, but the American people are not fulfilling the highest duties of citisens when they permit 'positions of jfeblio trust and 'honor to be bartered away for-gQldi PbJUioltl machinery is also necessary, bat not of the expensive ordef and vote destroying or vote-duplicating conatruottoA.'used throughout this country during the past twenty years, and nwre particularly daring the last five year. The fault is not only ot men but also of methods, and unless resort is had: at once to honest and decent methods, and metiures taken to secure intelligent, capable, honest men-ror publio positions, no mutter what their, preferences may be for men to be elected to high places of honor aud trust, the days of this ltepublio ore numbered. This is no Fourth of July oration according to rule. It may, on that account, attract, the reader; he would lie a dull student who could not profit by the plain tilths of even this honioly lesson. A.

A Merry Ghost. . ' A' specter of a strangely jovial and friendly disposition ia at present puzzling the people of Helena, Ark., whd would be alarmed at the antics of the! ghost were it not for the perfect goodnature and jolly ways of the follow. Ho is a little, ugly man, dresBed in a gray suit, with a soft black hat worn sot back on his head, with, a comical, pleasant face and quick, bright eyes. He will appear in broad daylight without warning and, as i evolved from tho Stnpty air, atop np to f-otoe man, give him a liailfeUow-weli-met slap on the shoulder 'With vigor, and- immediately the man Xuma-hi gouij completely, with his happy, genial laugh still ringing in tho air. The man singled out never sees him on that occasion, though the ghost ia plainly visible to the bystanders; he only feels the. slap on the shoulder. When someone else is thus favored instead, however, he can, see him then. Many-attempts have been made to lay hands on him, lint nothing bat jmpai--ble ait w;rbr' th- eiS?5 t'ojp of the ghost's would-be captors.

He nev$ r- speaks, only smiles and nods hi head when spoken to, with a frequent .laugh at anything that amuses him. . The only variation that has taken
plaoe in his manner was on a day last week, when, just as the town clock struck '3 iu the afternoon, he suddenly appeared to a group standing in front of Thorp's drug store, and looking at the clock, hung his head aud drew aside his shirt and vest, pointing to- a large hole in his breast just over his heart, from which the big, heavy drops of blood: were slowly welling. Ho turned on the group a sorrowful look, as if asking tor comfort or help, and sighing heavily, disappeared. The next day, however, he turned up as jolly as ever. His movements are erratic, for he will be invisible for days together J men wui a-ppear eenu moim m wj, but it has beea noticed that he is never visible to a woman. 81. Louit ?toeDemocrat.
