The next thing I did waa to upset her wholo churning of cream. It hung half way down the well, don't you sec, and when I came home, famished with thirst, and jerked the bucket down well, the first thing I heard was Cousin Sarepta screaming like mad.

And I had plunged into the house, and pnt ray foot literally, not metaphorically into the old lady's baking of custard pics, that she had set on the cellar Iloor to cool, before sho could make me understand.

Every one did what he could to make her comfortable, but the only sign she evinced of pleasure was when Charley Cleve brought in the old grsy goose, stiffly mounted on an tnilation of mossy ground. Her dim eyea lighted up. 'I tn glad you saved tMt, Charles," said she. "I found it among a heap of o'.hcr things," said Charley. "And 1 thought you'd like to have it See, here are your spectacles too, and the old Hible, with the leaves all right, and the cover only a little charred!" Miss Sarepta looked feebly from one relic to another. "I'm glad," said she, "very glad. It was thoughtful of you, Charles. I'm sorry 1 called you thera names. I take em all back." "Oh! never mind the names," said Charley. "At all events, you can't lay this firo to .'" "No." said Sarepta, "It was the miee playln' on the closet shelf where I kept the matches.

A OOHfTENT RECORD.

mmI I'rtrMe Tssm. The exposition that the desteernsUs party shall abandon revenue reform and take to th wood is one of tbose preposterotM suggnstioas that eotne only from men who are ignorant of political hUtury or devoid of BoUfcieal principle. Mr. CrUp and Mr. KpriKfrer oould not if they would, sad would not If they eouhl, abandon revenue reform, or reverse the position of the party. Krfrm the time of Jefferson to Cleveland Ute party has been consistent ia IU opposition to protective taxes. The d eel a rat ion of independence was the formulation of a demand for free trade. The first democratic platform adopted by the party called republican to distinguish it from the federalist, enme from a congressional caucus at Philadelphia in UWO, the year when Jeffer son was first elected president Its second resolution Is a follows: "Free commerce with all nations, political connection with none, and little or no diplomatic establishment." In 1801 Jefferson, in his first annual message, declared: "Agriculture, manufactures, commerce and navigation, the four pillars of our prosperity, are most thriving when lth free to individual enterprise." In our early history, when qno nation feared our strength or regarded our rights, every reasonable effort waa made to develop our resources in order to make us independent o( all nations. This was done in some cases by small import duties, such as now would be considered ruinous. Jefferson, Madison and Monroe ever manifested a disposition to encourage agriculture, manufacture, commerce and navigation, as the means of increasing our war resources, but Jefferson wa particular to say in 1605 that "the remaining revenue on the consumption of foreign articles Is paid cheerfully by those who can afford to add foreign luxuries to domestic eomforts." In 1806, referring to certain duties, he insisted they be retained, ''because they are lev.ed chiefly on luxuries." The war of 1S12 eaused an inerease of duties, interrupted and destroyed foreign commerce and called for war tariffs. Then, as now, the beneficiaries of the war tariff were reluetantto surrender their war privileges, but, in 1929, Jackson insisted that revenue was the first consideration, and all interests should be equally favored. In his inaugural he said: "With regard to a proper selection of the subjects of Impost with a view to revenue, it would seem to me that the snlrit of equity, caution and compromise, la which the constitution was formed, requires that the great interests of agriculture, commerce and manufactures should be equally favored, and that perhaps the only exception to this rule should consist In the peculiar encouragement of any product of either of them that may be found essential to our national independence." In 183. Jackson, in his reto of the bank bill, said that most of the difficulties surrounding the government and most of the danger threatening the union came from the abandonment of the legitimate objects of, government "Many of our rich men." he sakl, "have r.ot been conteBt with equal protection, but have besought lis to make them rich by acts of congress." In 1SB3, in his annual message, he insisted that Americans might be willing for awhile to pay higher prices, in order to encourage the establishment of factories, but, at the same time, he emphatically repudiated the Idea that such a policy was to be permanent "But," he saidi "for this purpose, it is presumed that, a tariff of high duties, designed for perpetual protection, has entered into the minds of but few of our statesmen. The most they have anticipated is a temporary and generally incidental protection, which they maintain has the effect to reduce the price, by domestic competition, below that of the foreign article." Jackson, in his other staUs papers, was consistent in his opposition to all class legislation, denouncing every attempt to build up one interest at the expense of another, insisted oa relief of such necessaries of life as salt and coal from tariff taxation, and in his farewell address said: "The government has no power to raise a revenue or impose taxes except for the purposes enumerated in the constitution." The vigorous intellect of Jackson, hie determined character, bis breed sympathies with the people, left their impress oa the demoeratle party. In 1840 the democratic convention met at Haltimore and adopted a platform declaring that "justice and sound policy forbid the federal government to foster one branch of industry to the detriment of another," and the fifth resolution was emphatic in the demand that "no more revenue ought to be raised than is required to defray the expenses of government" In 1844 the fourth ami fifth reeolatlous of 18W were reaffirmed. In 1848 the party platform declared that "the fruits of the great pol itieal triumph of 1844 have fulfilled the hope of the democracy of the union In the noble impulse given to the cause of free trade by the, repeal ot the tariff of 1842, and the creation of the more equal, honest aad prod active tariff of 181" These principles were reaffirmed every four years until 1864. II tii c k a record so simple, so direet so consistent that no man need mistake U. From the begianing until new the demoeratle party has been the op-pon-.at of the principles underlying the niiole system of protection. Oa the other hand Hamilton, the feetarat party, the whig party, and now tne repeal lean party, have been its adr oeates and defenders. And so It will be throw all time. Should tfcti demoeratle party abandon these principle, the people would abandon the demoeratle party. Louisville Courier-Journal. Of eourse Blaine denies the he meditates retirement to private life.

iVESTK3ATIN4 RAUM.

(&s4) 49fMsVJ44MMr v34s4Mk94Ma A eomHiittee of the bowse has appointed for the nnraese of invest! gating Mr. Kauai. There is little doubt aa to the need of such investigation, but the committee should be allowed to extend its inquiries beyond the merely perstnal transections of the pension commissioner. The private speculations of Kaum have little to do with the great scandals that have made his administration notorious save as they may lead to conclusions as to Kaum's relations with those known ia Washington as members of the pension ring. What enormous profits these pension sharks have made within a few years Is common talk at the capital. If the house eommittee shall be able to lay bare evea a moiety of such frauds it will have performed a great serviee to the country. When it is understood that the number of pensioners exeeeds KM),W0, and that this is to be increased to more than a round million witldn the year, it will be seen that something must be rotten ia Denmark. A quarter of a eentury after the close of the war the pension list ia to exceed ia numbers the roll of the federal army at any one time. The bare statement is proof of frauds that are disgraceful to honest pensioners and wickedly burdensome to the people. The apmmlttee will discover in the eoarse of their work that many veterans in Washington and throughout the country will aid them in uncovering some of the schemes by which the pension office has been disgraced. There Is an organization of old veterans at Washington whose members are earnest in their determination to stop pension frauds before they shall have destroyed the entire system. To these old soldiers the committee may appeal with a certainty of valuable assistance. Chicago Times. HE IS INEVITABLE. HarrlMn J a relltlaal Old Ma at tit See. The republican party would undoubtedly get rid of Harrison if it could. But it eannot He is the strongest patronage machine ever organijied in the country, for it represents both the radiciala and the "Anchor-to-Wind ward" elements of the republican party. He has among his office holders committed to his support both Blaine and Elklas. He has Wanamaker to represent the godly and Itanm to stand for pretoriaa "pa triotism," with Foster as go-between for Wall street and men to represent the will and interests of every strong monopoly in the country. Against the federal office holders thus organized the republican party would strive in vain, even were there nothing ele to compel its action. Hut it is under even a stronger compulsion tli an that of the patronage machine. Harrison has burned 'the bridges be hind it so that It cannot turn back from him. He has made a record that the platform must attempt to justify and on which he alone must stand. The party will be obliged to indorse the force bill, the MeKinley hill, the subsidy policy, the Sherman hellion storage bill, the nretorian system of pensions for the dishonoraldy discharged, the squandering of the sur plus, the thousand million dollar ap propriations,- and all the other iniquit ies of the Harrison administration. This means Harrison for eandidate. It can mesa no one else. The republican party might have changed its course after its great defeat in&180, but as It did not change it then it cannot change it now. And so it will renominate Benjamin Harrison and stand on his record. St Louis Republic, POINTS AND OPINIONS.
