The RepubUcaa party keders are nekton, t ieleouon of Mr. Carlisle for the Speakership of the Hoom. TIk v bm their protended hopes l11 Uho the fact that the Hpwker can from the South. and "wmmI thai be represent! tariff rotors. The BebtiMiean pm. while H is wicked and corrupt. is not aa assemblage of fools, and. while there mat he. and doubtl.a an. nunv foolish aad stupid men who put tbeniilves forward aa leader, tho nn of oters ia all sections of the eomun are tolerably sensible people. The v know, if the leaden do not, that the mIc tion of Mr. Carlisle for Speaker is judicious.' aad secures pubIks oonfideme. The Bepebtieaa leaders are anxious to open the campaign with tho sectional cry of the 'blood ysHirt,'' and ,ush it on by affrighting the eountrv with the not km that tariff reform mean the deatrvetkNi of American labor. In the first place, the Solid South lia nothing to do with tho success of Mr. Carlisle; for he was not chosen because he eaaae from the Sooth, but t ecause he beat represents the tiring principle and issues of the Democratic party. He represents all that the IH raoersav has been straggling for sin.c the war - the right of the people to conduct their domestic affairs, aad tovnjtt. the fruits of their labor free from tho officio intermeddling of political adventurers, aad the more odious tyranny of moneyed rings aad giant monopolies. The more sensible mass of Republican voters who are aa much interested in good government as our Democratic brethren, know that the accident of birth or residence cat no figure in calculations which have to do w thtbe material interests of tho country, and know also that wise and rtriot.c statesmanship is jest ia Nicely conic from a man born south of Maeon and Dixon's line as oae north of it, And that it is not the locality which makes the statesman, bat the quality of mind and the traiu of character which he possesses. Regarded in this light bo man has appeared in our National coon-. c.U in many years who i the superior ' of the one whom the Democratic party has chosen a its legislative leader. Can tho geographical distinction so affect the mind of a statesman as to 1 condition his patriotism by the character of his surroundings, or would the man whose shining talents and terling Jiuaiitiea, as vouched for by friend and ue alike, aad whose exalted views of public affairs are the theme of general admiration, temper his seal for the Ktriie good and consider his duty to the tiot: onlv in so far as it might advance sectional interest? Does any sensible man believe this, or can any part san pre ndice sufficiently Slind the average judgment to accept such a conclusion? liter 1? nothing in Mr. Carlisle's h's'.ory as a public man, or his utterance-, anywhere, to lead to any belief but that his elevation to a great and responsible position will be accepted aa a sacred trust to do all that may be in his power for the advancement of National interests and the good of the people with whom his ' Interests are identified. Republican leaders may seek to deny all this In the natural desire to prevent themselves from being overcome by the wiser lemons of statesmaahip, which it may be Mr. Carlisle's happy privilege to teach, but the misses who wfll be able by and by to read aad judge for themselves, will not be easily misled into a belief which will do them injustice. The South is no more become the ruliog dominating power ia Democratic B cities because of Mr. Cariisle'a eleom than it would have keen had either Mr. Ran Jailor Mr. Cox been chosen. All are Democrats and ail strove as earnestly for the support of Southern votes as Mr. Carlisle did. and his s lection moans simply a combination of circumstaoees common to politics and fully illustrated in all political history. But the Republicans will insist that the selection means Dredominanf South ern iauoence in orr politics. as If that

aei'tkm were alien to the common in- his splendid record at a former Speaker terests of the Netiou, and as if there was of Congress, despite his firmness in resomething dreadful to be apprehended during the expenditures at a time when if Southern men and Southern views it was found necessary, and despite his cams to t e recognised kt the theater of honorable service to his party at all National contest. Have the Southern . t'mes, every section of the entire eeunKtates no voice m our National affairs, ! try, as represented by the Congressmenor shall that great section relinquish its elect, saw the necessity of leaving these right to be heard because its people dif- j things out of their calculations and defer with those of the North in their po- big what was plain Iv their duty.

Upon tho simple but oompreaensire issue of tariff reform the country will be appealed to fur party support, and hand in naad with the promise of good go erameat which it is abuadaatlT able to guarantee, will go the other pledge of deliverance trom grasping monopolies and tariff oppression, not danger to American labor, bat justice to all in the widest, freest, best sense of the term. With a strict regard for the rights of labor, judge! not by the clamor of fattoning monopolies, but based in a aenat of common justice to all alike, with honest toil justly recompensed tor its efforts and the blessings of her Government extended to every section and to every man, the Demooratio party can face its enemies aad aria a glorious vh wry.

"gotta aVmtb" Lie. The charge that Mr. Carlisle's election to the Speakership was due entirely to the effort of a "Solid South" and the proper handling of too "sectional issue1 is as unsupported by fact, as K lacks even decent ingenuity of malic. No man ia the history qf Ci ever received a more honest or a, more National election to the Speakership. So far as a "Solid South" is concerned, the expressions of public opinion as evidenced ia the brill iaat Kentuckian's election has done more to lay the "seotional issue," which contemptible politicians have kept alive on the stump for selfish purposes, on the shelf than anything that has happened since the close of the oivil war. It has absolutely deprived the cry of all possible consistency even for the basest political motives. nLet us look at the figures, however, in order that all may understand the truth of our statements and the con temptible characters of those which the I originators of this charge make. Carlisle received at many ote Mr. otes from tte Northern State us Mr, Randall did. and twice as maay as Mr. Cot, the former two receiving thirty-two each. Mr. Carlisle receivedvotes lrom twentyfear States, from every geographical standpoint, while all of Mr. Randall's votes came from sixteen States, and then but two from the great States of the West. In fact, bad Mr. Carlisle not been supported by the votes of Eastern, Middle, Weetern and Pacific States he would have fallen many votes short of an election. The truth of tho matter is that Mr. Carlisle was a National candidate, elected because he was the embodiment of ! a tarlS" reform which the neceiitie of j ervry sec lion demand. As the Boston ! McraUi, an independent paper, says: ; "The South is no more interested in Stting cheaper tools and farming mens, blankets and clothing, iron and' steel, glais and crockery, than the manufacturers of tho North are in obtaining cheaper raw materials, or than our ship builders and merchants are in al restoration of their lost commerce. Mr. Carlisle, a Kentuekiaa, holds substantial! r the same views on the tariff . question as those advanced by Mr. Cox, I a New Yorker. Mr. Holman, an Indiaulan, and Mr, Morse, of our own State. ! Revenue reform is not a sectional question and cannot be made so. It is a 1 question affecting the welfare of the people everywhere, who are taxed uanecessarily to the extent of more than j flOO,(kX,UOO, under the tariff that was 1 increased thirtv per cent to meet the ! cost of the war. ! On the other hand, Mr. Randall, the most pronounced protectionist in the Democratic party, himself received twenty votes from the so-called "Solid ltaiith!" ft was ant a seetiua nf the 1 country that conspired against him, but .his own false position on a question that threatened the welfare of oti.usi,000 of people loot him the Speakership t This Is shown by the fact that, despite Bomloal hospital buildings, and that the rest be reserved as an endowment, and a nucleus for future gifts and bequests by the charitably disposed. -ArtOm -An Engildi bride.

I'm sorry, daughter," toe mamma said, with equally determined face; but you surely see that such a delicate muslin as that you have on is not suitable to wear to a lawn party. It will tear as easily as lace." But I've gt to wear it, you see," said Minnie, with a touch of impatience in her voice. 'You don t want me to wear tight clothes, you kno." 'And what reason have you found for wearing that broad, blue sash?" " Well, mamma, you know it is tbe onlv one that matches nicely with this dre-i and these stockings, and things ought to match." " Yes; and why must the stockings be worn?" '( , well," said Minnie, catching an end of the sash and twisting ji. "Ieupre 1 co'l wear other stockings, but thought with my nice, new slippers thee would look 'the prettiest, and I didn't think you would care."

My boots have the ugliest great nails sticking into my toes: I could hardly walk around la-t night; so, of course, I hiitl to put on the clippers.'' Very grave looked the mamma. It was a sail tact that she had never heard of the dress that was too tight, or of the fearful nails in the high-buttoned kid boots, untit this moment. Could it be possible that her little daughter was tempted, by her desire to apear in tine new clothes at the party, to speak not antic the truth? Hhe sat thinking for a full minute before she decided that her child needed a severe lesson. Minnie." she said, and the little girl knew that when her mother spoke in that tone, and called her by her full name, there was no more chance ior argument, "you can not wear that dress, and that sash, and those slippers and stockings, to the lawn party.,1 Now it was Minnie's turn to consider. She looked down and fitted the toes of her slippers most carefully into a figure of the carpet. " Well," she aid at last, drawing a long figh, and looking as though the sorrows oflife, at heavy on her heart. "I suppose 1 can go and change all mv things: but I shall be very late.

He will hear of new achtM days, he wilt see much about work and k w . . a m sas a s mu on od otds for boya, where carpentry, bricklaying, palatlng. carriage making and many other trades are taught. Of course he means to do something himself, but somehow he does not care for these splendid new schools. It is nothing to him that good workmen are scarce ana always and good wages. He Is going into a store or an office, or means to be a doctor or lawyer. He does not propose to soil his hands and wear rough clothes like a workman. If mere Is any such boy who may read this, let him consider a moment. My uaeerful young man. are you sure von know what you are talking about? What do clerks earn UoW much does a young doctor receive? Oh! but you r don't mean to be s poor clerk. You in tend to be a great lawyer with ten thousand a year, or a doctor with a carriage. Cliarmed to hear it. It is a noble resolve, but are you sure you will get there? Really, now, bow can a young man tell, how can he be sure he will succeed? In this way: A man succeeds who falls in love with his work. He thinks about it day and night, he studios it; he reads all he can find on the subject. He tries and tries till he can do it well. Then It is he succeeds. You do not care much about medieine: you have no burning desire to study this magnificent machine, the human body. You don't care very much for dreadful work in hospitals, and yet yon mean to be a doctor. You would secretly much prefer to have a kit of carver's tools, but of course yon oould never be a carver by trade. Lotus stop here. This is the summing up of a vast deal of homely wis dotn. bo you love any work? Is theie anything that, if you were independent, you would do before anything else? If there is do that There is yoursnecess; that way lies all the money, the rewards, the respect of others, and aft the real honest happiness you will ever rind. Boys make a mistake in thinking that only the lawyers and doctors and merchant suceevd. It is a terrible blunder to leave a trade u which yew make a first-rate workman, and hare a chance to win a home, comfort and independence, to go into a profession you do not love. There i only owe end to that road a life of ill-paid drudgery, and failure after all. Look at yourself; you are to yourselt the most important person in the world..
