Revise the tariff, is the Democratic demand. Th^ orange crop has been a dead failure in Louisana. 1888. will be long remembered for ite Congressional mortality. Thk Dabney lie has been stuffed and turned, over to the dime museums. Tin* present session of Congress will be six mouths shorter than tue last one. Ohio furnishes the presidents, and it also furnishes tl e most lynching cases, as compared with Indiaha.

C=> o Tb® Knight* and the Anarchists are attracting more attention than ever, Their secret meetings, and their close adherancc to a single idea ■will eventually affect something not unlookcd for—good or evil. Matthews, the colored man, whom the President appointed as Recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, lint whom the Senate ret used to conllrm, has again been appointed by tbe President and his name sent to the Senate. At a meeting of labor representatives at Indianapolis, December 21, resolution* wore adopted® endorsing Congressman Bynum for U. S. Senator* Mr. By uum socm« to bo growing more and more popular with the mas•es every day. I?EVKiilPHst vottr enemies to attend to your business. The same sentiment is good in the departments oi the Government. Oust every map who is an enemy to the Administration, is the only motto of safety to any political party. A new two-cent postage stamp is to be put into circulation about January next. It is said to be one of the „ handsome st specimens ever produced. “It represents the embossed head of George Washington upon the blue tin ted back ground.”

Ohio farmer* claim that the reducttiou i^arlff ou wool will injure thoir buisueiL We have heard some Indiana farmers complain likewise. You should remember, however, that ft takes a two bushel sack: to carry home a dollar’s worth of sugar uo\f-a-dnys. There are not to-day auy more prominent leaders of the Republican parly ifhan Blaine, Sherman, Edmunds aud Conkliug. Yet they are all at cross purposes, jealous of each other and hated by their own parly in localities worse than they are by Democrats. Ron. Whi.i.tam D. Btndsi, mem-; ber of Congress from the Indianapolis district, is quite majoritally recognized as the coming Democrat in Indiana. Well, he is a good one. Xlie only trouble is that, like Governor liill, he is a Democrat.—Brick Row Cray’s Democrat. Bv making a death struggle for the Legidatui-e the Republicans made a net gain of 14. Had thoir legislative ticket simply run alongside of thoir vote for Lieutenant-Governor, there wouid now be 90 Democrats, and €s0 Republicans in the Iiniiana Legislature. Doing so well, slid yet missing the goal by just two votes, naturally leads to mortification and perhaps angeir, but ought not to fraud and crime, or.m with Indian* Repubhcans. They, did ftilly ae much as

-----:- Tki t ight of the Indiana Democrats to thoir legislature majority on joint ballot, iu vliow of the recent rote in the State, is absolutely perfect in law amt morals, aud Republ ican threats to change that majority, if it can be done, are merely advanced notices of %n iutemled crime for which there is no shadow of «u excuse, .. y-? Now that Logan js dea<l!, it fiSiardly probable thaMlttnqis wjH have a candidate' on the National ticket iu 1888. Had Logan lived be would probably have been nominated for President. He would have beou one of the hardest men to beat in the Republican party. A ait is, he is at rest, and where poiitiut and political vituperation can not reads. L.. v g5Lm-ijj—ixsssss It woutd be a pleasant revelation to us to know just how much is being bggi ness rivals tor the false and an principle attack upon Barn's History of The U. S. We have'reasons for believing that a giant monopolist of Cincinnati is persecuting Barne’s History for his own benefit,. He wants to introduce another text-book instead of Barue’s. Gath, ot the Cincinnati Enquire, is blowing up Mr. Niblack, of Viuceunes, for President. He states that the honroable Judge is very popular in the East, especially among those who knew him as Congressman in days gone by. A more heroio Democrat than the Judge cannot be found. Should a nomination and election place him in the White House, it will certaiuiy ba iu accord with our will. The Democrat wants him for Senator, however.

Some ot our Republican exchanges seem much puzzled about what to do with the great surplus! uow in the National treasury. If war or fa'infne should befall this nation,, the surplus would not be amiss. A flat treasury is the best khd of treasury. One thing, however, ought to be done wi.h that money, or at least a part of it. Pensions ought,to bo made universal for all Union soldiers. This would place a large mounts of it in the hands of its rightful owners. Why do the Republican papers not raise the howl about the President's appointment of the colored Mathews as register of deods for the district of Columbia? They tried to make a howling falsehood condemn him for appointing Dr. Dabney who has proven to hare been only a boy during the war, and could not have been a rebel truard as thejLclai.ined. If Mr. ClevebnjdAhettid appoint a rebel it would 'be just what the Republican administration lias been doing all the while. The appointment of a colored man is following Republican practic, and Republicans should howl abouUhis also.

Tux last two years hs.vc been sorely fatal to the men who have competed for'the offices of President and Vice-President. Grant, Hancock, Davis, Fremont, Tildcn, Hendricks, Seymour, Arthur, Grata Brown, and General Logau have ail passed away within the period mentioned. There lives but one man who has over occupied and retired from the Presidential office—Mr. Haves, and there is but one than living who has boon elected Vice-President—Hannibal Hamlin. Of unsuccessful candidates for the Vise-Presidency, there is (speakingof the great parties) none living, aud of such candidates for the Presidency Mr. Blaine is the only one. Our Republican exchanges grow eloquent at t'mes abon : the wonderful wealth of this country. We state elsewhere that a full treasury is a good thing in time of war or famine; but it is not a necessity in this Government while it owes debts. A good time to pay debts is when there is money to pay with. Let some of it go there. Let the Government pay its debts, get even with the wo-ld, reduce the tariff and ail other forms of taxes till there will be no more than a sufficiency to run the Governmental machinery. We understand this to be the Democratic idea, and wo cannot understand why the Republican idea of taxing the people to death' should be necessary to make them prosperous and happv.

Mrs. CiunrAGKK of St. Louis has not known where her father was for years. The other day an old gentleman called and said ho washer longlost parent. Hd showed such a snrbrising knowledge of the faiuilythat she believed him. He tohl her that he^lad made a fortune of $3,000,®(1 iu the far West, aud now that helved found his heir he would die happv. It wa« a touching meeting, and the only drawback to the old man's happiuose was the fact that it was after banking hours, and he was ont of cash. Then his dutiful daughter loaned him $15, and pretty soon he stepped out, Mrs. Champagne has not seen him since, neither has she seen her eon’s beaver overcoat nor chain -—a'ORTs from Washington state that a bill be introduced in the House placing lumber and salt on the free list, reducing''the duty on sugar at least one half, and abolishing the internal revenue on tobacco altogether. But this pla n of reduc ing the revenues by putting three or four important articles on the free list and leaving others u ntouched, there are very positive objections. It savor* too much of the m Gordian knot is crude. The De for revision in going over tin each article b« portion of the putting of so sta

UEN. LOUAN IS DEAD.

The Soldier-Statesman called to Hie s*- Long Rest. Washington City, Doc. 27.—Gen. Logan died Sunday afternoon at 2:54 o’clock. Death came gently, and he slowly faded away. There was no pain, no struggle, no death-bed scene. Tho vital flame burned itself out. The General’s illness was of a fortnight’s duration. It began with rheumatism in the right wrist, painful but not dangerous, and the less likely to excite solicitude because it was not unusuol. Dr. Baxter, of the army, attended him. and he grew better. Ue wont, put, took cold, and han a 14lapse. He was in no condition to Resist the attack of sickness. His nerves were weak from overwork, impaired general health, and, not the least of all, bitter political attacks made upon hint from within his own party. He was a very sensitive man. He w Sneed under the shafts of ridicule and misrepresentation and prejudice Anxieties of other kinds added their weight to his burden, and it was too much for him to bear. His nervous system became completely prostrated. The rheumatism became rheumatic fever, and this brought on cerebral congestion, which was the immediate cause of death.—Indianapolis Sentinel.

TEACHER AND SCHOOL. George Herbert once said: “One good mother is worth a hundred schoolmasters.” He might also have said that one bad mother may do more harm to her child than a hundred schoolmasters can make good again ; for it is equally true. The gifts and graces which a man brings with him into the world, and the immediate surroundings of his earliest life, go so very far toward determining hit. subsequent character, conduct and career, that no after opportunity or training can ever wholly supply what these have failed to furnish. The child's first and most important school, is the home But how many children have practically no home, and therefore no home training 1 In thousands of instances home education, in any proper seuse of the term, is impossible. There is the natural iucapacitv of many mothers, the multitude of children and the poverty in ma ny families, and a host of other reasons why it is so. But in looking at the subject of education wo must not forget that the fUtnily can not do evertjrixg. Even under the most favorable circumstances, and in the verv best of families, there is something whieh the child does not get, and which it must have in order to euable it to take its proper place and perform its duCies in human society^ Every child needs intercourse with the outside world at pretty early ngo. The domestic circle has its limitations. Iluman be'ngs are something more than members ot separate families; and nothing but education external to the foniily can mako a child thoroughly aware of this. Even brothers and sisters can not furnish the necessary amount of attrition to develop the thoroughly human character. The child must learn selfdenial by rubbing against these who are as likely to insist on their rights as he is on his. lie must come into friendly competition with equals and rivals ill order to awakeu his latent energies. He must find persons outside of the family circle to love and respect, that his sympathies may find such enlargement as to form the true basis of fellow-citizenship. He must go away from the fireside, that he may discover that there is not »nly cold but waimth away tfrom tome. And it is really the need of i Jiis kind of supplementary (or rather lompllmeutnry) education that forms me of the principal pillars of the pubic school.. Recognizing this need, let us imagne ourselves taking our little sixrear old by tho hand and going with (or her) on a bright September ng for the first time to school— Public School, the school of the ”l:ho. high road,” as Jacob It, “on whloh children ard the goal of kuowleeem* in sympathy I nature)

with him as lie trips along: the winds rfss him gently, the birds that are waiting to take their departure sing for him, and the autumn flowers nod to him a fragrant “God-speed.” It is the opening of a new era iu his little life. We enter the schuol-tooin with liiin. What a multitude of diverse spirits, which are to have their part iu his menial history from this day forward, look out upon him from the jurious eyes of his fellow-scholars I We walk up to the teacher (man or woman) and feel, whether we say it *i not, as we puttliehaud of our little ane iu his that \re are intrusting a soul to his keeping for a considerable portion of each’ day. We do not feel (if \VoSnre auv feeling or any sense) that wStarve brought our child there merely to learn to read and write, or to learn a little arithmetic, a little geography, a little grammar, and Unlike; but with these as help, to learn to be an honest, useful, wise and faithful man or woman. We do not dele gate their task to. the teacher; we have done our part toward laying the foundation, an:l we mean to continu io do it in the erection of the buildln, but wee une to the school for assist am-ewaud we have a right to say woe be fljto the school that does not fUrtf^ isli it. It is not merely instruction, then, that we are seeking for our chilli; for there can lie no true instruction without education. We expect the schools to assist in the iducation not merely of the intellect, but als. of the feelings, the sentiments and tnc wiii. When we leave our child in the hands of the teacher we feel that all which it is possible for the school to accomplish for it depends ou the last analysis on his personality; ou the purity of Ills character; on the power of his insight; on the extent aud qual ity of his preparation for his calling and interest iu it; ou his perfect mastery over what he is and what he knows; on the depth and power of his human sympathy ; in a word, on his fitness to be a teacher. We ought to be able to tako it for granted that he does hot pursue his calling as a mere vulgar handicraft; as a means to some end entirely foreign to it; as the step-piug-stone to (something else, or as a convenient substitute for something else. The school is not a charitable foundation for the assistance of indigent talent that is preparing for other fields of usefulness; it is not a matrimonial bazaar for marriageable young ladies; nor yet an alms-ht use for the poor or an infirmary for the imbccil. If there ever is “a divine call” to do auv thing, there should be one to teach. Viewed in this light there is no vocation that is more elevatiug. more euuobling thau that of a teacher. It otfurs as grand a field for the highest endeavor as aav occupation on earth. It is by its very nature removed from all low modes of thought, all vulgar temptations and all sordid and unworthy alms. Ofall public vocations mine offers greater or pu.^r rewards (provided they be not estimated in money or money's worth), and none that is possessed of so large an influence over the future. Theodore Parker once said to a young man who was taking counsel of him: “In the future of America I think the teacher will have quite as large an opportunity for molding the people to noble ends ns the preacher.” And in fact there is no estimating the power placed in the hands of the teacher. The very greatness and nobility of his office ought to ti l him with inspiration. As adjuncts to tiio personality of ti c teacher there are methods and mea s of instruction which is would carry us too far to discuss iu detail at present. One thing, however, may b* said, it is the important tiling: All branches of instruction are but means to an end, never the end itself. The end of instruction (and of education) is a man, aud not a peripototie encyclopedia or walking knowledge-Dox. Even so faras information is concerned, the end and aim is not knowledges (to use a good old English plural), but knowledge. Thus that must be an utterly false system of comm ideating information in schools which does every tiling bv the quuuity, and estimates that quantity in “per cents;” so much arithmatic 80 per cent.; so much geography 90 per cent.; So much history 50 per cent.; so much grammar 70 per cent.; and so on to the end of the chapter. Tills system makes the school a mill, and its a work a continual grind. So many children, so many school-books (generally about twenty books to one child), go into the hopper, the teacher turns the crank, the gri§t comes out, aud its quantity is measured and approved. Life measures the quality, and pronounces the system a^fraud. Every true school is a seminary, a seedfiuld, and not a lumIter-yard or a junk-shop. It is the school in this souse that is he complement of the family and the dossing of society. All who seek to make it subservient to any other purnose than the one herein set forth; ivlio prostitute it to any private and selfish end whatever, whether of teeuniary profit or of any ambition breigu to its purpose, are the enemies >f society and the destroyers of that vitiiout which peaceable and honora>le citizenship is impossible.

Scrofula of Lungs Relieve! I am now 49 years old, and have suffered tor the last fifteen years with a lnug trouble.
