A: Few Timely Quotations From the Great Democrat's State faper. To the Editor of the New York World. The, proposition to protect and preserve the burial place of Andrew Jackson, known as the

Hermitage, near Nashville, commends itself to the approval of all patriotic citizens. But, singularly enough, the amateur Democrats, who have been thrown by circumstances into association with Jackson's party, are that most enthusiastic in praise of the idea. They seek to make up in Democratic sentiment what they lack in Demooratic principle, and the malignity with which, in their old Whig days, they assailed

the doctrines which guided the great leader's life seems to intensify the vigor with which they clamor for the honor

ing of the ground where his remains he

at rest. ,

Their professions of affection for

Jackson's Hermitage are commendable.

But how much better it would be il they showed more respect for the prin

ciples which Jackson left as a heritage

for his party? The amateur Democrats sneer at the opposition of real Democracy to the granting of special and exclusive privileges by legislation and the creation of monopolies. They are the champions of trusts, and they ridicule the idea of

objecting to the use of money by Plutocrats to secure advancement and power in political parties. In his veto of the Bank Bill Jackson gave utterance to these sentiments: "Every monopoly and all exclusive privileges are granted at the expense of the public. "It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their selfish purposes. Distinctions in society will always exist. But when the laws undertake to add to these natural and just advantages, artificial distinctions, to grant gratuities and exclusive .privileges, to make the rich richer and the potent more powerful, the humble members of society, the farmers, me-

There is but one safe rule, and that is

to confine the General Government rig-

idlv within the sphere of its appropriate

duties. It has no power to raise a revenue or impose taxes, except for the purposes enumerated in the Constitution, and if its income is found to exceed those wants it should be forthwith reduced and the burdens of the people so far lightened." These are Jackson's principles the heritage of true Democracy he left for

the guidance of his followers and the

good of his county. If the amateur Democrat would pay more respect to Jackson'H teachings he might with better erace unite in honorinc Jackson's

tomb. Hickory Democrat.

He Pnt His Train in Ahead Though

It Took Nere to Do It. Denver News.

Jim j oote s name among engineers

occupies an out the same position as

McLaughlin's does among jockeys. The

people along the line of the New York Central hold their breath even now in retrospect when tney think of the way in which he used to come tearing down

the tracks on his old iron horse, making

sixty-five to seventy miles an hour,

with 300 scared passengers hanging on

their seats and expecting every moment

to be dashed into perdition.

. Those were the old days when the West Shore and the Central were will

ing to decorate their engineers with the

uroer oi tne carter, or grant tnem a

week's pay for beating each other by a

second or two down the race course

which ends at Schenectady. At this point

the close of the race was rendered addi

tionally exciting by the fact that the Central passes under the bridge which car

ries the West Snore over its track, and

as the under engine plunges out of

sight into the darkness, the other

screaming over its head, the exit made

ways stood a little m awe of Jim. He

was the patriarch of the region and a

man who handled his engine with all the skill that an Arab handles his horse. They weren't; to be beaten out by a reputation, however, and old 110 used to have some pretty hard scrambles notwithstanding the fact that Jim's hand was at the throttle. One day Jim's train started on the ten-mile stretch down, nip and tuck with the West Shore train, with an engineer named Kantzler on the engine. They came down at a fearful gait. Jim did his very best, for he had heard that this very engineer had made a boast that he would rub it into the in

vincible Central man. The passengers

on either train had caught the spirit of

the thing and leaned dangerously far put of the windows, yelling defiance at

each other and shrieking like demons

OUR NAVIGATION LAWS.

The Reduciio ad Absnrduni Applied to the

Protective P-lioy.

"FroiBS&rt" in Indianapolis Sentinel.

Republican congressmen

have made our navigation and shipping laws. In order to encourage men to build ships and manufacture everything that enters into a Bhip and its navigation,

from the keel to the salt in the soup of the sailors and the ship-buildera, and to

save the home market for the home manufacturers,, they shut us out from

the markets of the world by a tariff tax

that runs from 20 cents to over 300 cents

on the dollar of valuation in the market from which it might be shipped; whether lumber from Canada, jute or hemp from India, spirits from . Barbadoes, or any thing from any where abroad. Lumber, iron, steel, copper, lead, cordage, sails, paint, oil, varnish, tools, clothing, food, medicine and everything, both in the raw material and manufactured

state, were made to pay duty before

they could be landed here. Henc?, it

added so much to the cost if bought

abroad, and if bought at home our own makers could add the same sum to their

own prices and still under sell the goods

from abroad by the amount of the cost of bringing them here. This made the

expense of building a ship here about

40 to 59 per cent, greater than it did to

buy one abroad. A vessel that could

be bought on the Oiyde in Scotland for

$10,000 would cost from forty to fifty

thousand dollars more to build it here.

Therefore, n we had. ships we muBi go

abroad to buy them. But to prevent

that they enacted that if an American

bought a ship abroad he oouid not sail it under the American, flag. He might

choose any nation he pleased and hoist its flat; and sail under it, but if any out

rage was committed on him or his ship

he must look to that nation to protect

him, because the flag alone protects the

ship and crew and cargo.

If war should come, being an Ameri

can, his government would draft him

into the army or navy and make him

fight, would tax his property; would hold him responsible to his allegiance

in everything, but if he would not buy

and sail an American built ship and pay half ae much again a& it is worth, so the

extra half could go into the pockets

lees than onedif teenth of the producers

of the country, he could let the ship

ping DUBinesB alone or look to some for

eign government for protection for his

person and property.

We were doing from 60 to 70 per cent

of the carrying trade on the ocean, ?nd had many ship yards when these laws

took effect, hut under these laws it be

gan to decline and now we do less than

14 percent of that trade; our ship yard

are mostly closed aod we lost the bee

and most profitable markets in the

world for our surplus productions, South

America with the reBt England, who

left material and competition free,pirked

up nearly all of it, and got the commer

had to abandon under this vicious, legis

lation. The foreign ships, that do al

including the carrying of foreign mails are what Gen. Harrison calls "tramp

With a pretense c-f getting back these

Do Not Accept Everything Said as

Gospel Truth The Friendship or God Through Christ the Best of all Rev. Br. Talmage preached at the

Brooklyn tabernacle last Sunday subject,. "How to make Friends." Text

Proy. xviii., 24. He said;

About the sacred and divine art of

making and keeping friends I speaka subject on which I never heard of any one preaching and yet God thought it of enough importance to put it in the

middle of the Bible, these writings of Solomon, bounded on one side by the

popular Psalms of David, and on the other by the writings of Isaiah, the

greatest of the prophets. It seems all a

matter of haphazard how many friends we have, or whether we have any

friends at all, but there is nothing acci

dental about it.

There is a law which governs the accretion and dispersion of friendships, They did not "just happen so" any more than the tides just happen to rise or set. It is a science, an art, a God given regulation. Tell me how friendly you are to others and I will tell you how friendly others are to you. I do not say you will not have enemies; indeed, the best way to get ardent friends is to have arden t enemies, if you got their enmity in doing the right thing. Good men and women will always have enemies,

because their goodness is a perpetual rebuke to evil; but this antagonism of foes will make more intense the love of

your adherents. Your friends will gather closer around jou because of the r i . rt.

So also, the structure of the hand indicates handshaking; the knuckles not made so that the fingers can turn out, but so made that the fingers can turn in, as in clasping hands; and the thumb didivided from and eet alocf from the fingers, so that while the fingere take your neighbor's hand on one side, the thumb takes it on the other, and pressed together, all the faculties of the hand give emphasis to the salutation. Five sermons in every healthy hand urge us to handshaking. , Besides thin, every day, when you start out, load yourself with kind thoughts, kind words, kind expressions and kind greetings. When a man or women does well, tell him so, tell her so. If you meet someone who is improved in health, and it is demonstrated in girth and color, say: "How well you lookl, But if, on the other hand, under the wear and tear of life, he appears pale and exhausted, do not introduce sanitary subjects, or say any thing at all about physical conditions.

. Secret ary Noble's Turnout. St. Louis Republic .

When Grant was President and the buccaneers were in full control of the

Government, it was the fashion for Cabinet officers to maintain spans of

horses and flashing carriages at public expense. Grant's Attorney-General became famous in connection with a lan-

daulet purchased at public expense,

wnicn his wile and daughters used at

all times and kept at their own house.

becretary Lamar was the first to do

away with this species of knavery and

snobbery. He ordered the horses and

carriages that the Secretary of the In

terior previously used sold, and he

further walked to the Depar tment him

self or hired a carriage to be driven

there. Secretary Vilas followed the ex

ample set by Mr. Lamar, and during

his tenure in the Department used his

own private carriage.

It was fondly hoped that Secretary

Noble would follow the seme, course

but to the regret of all Miesourians he

has not. To-day he purchased a team

of blooded Kentucky horses for $1,000.

and paid for them out of the Contin

gent Expense act of the Interior De

partment. In a few days he will fur

nish a carriage, also at public expense

and continue using both the horses and

carriage for his own private use during I datory and not damaging. , If you would

There is such a thing as pretending to be en rapport with others when we are their dire distruants, and talk against them and wish them calamity. Judas covered up his treachery by a resounding kiss, and caresses may be demoniacal. Better the mythological Cerberus, the three headed dog of hell, barking at us, than the wolf in sheep's clothing, its brindled hide covered up by deceptive wool, and its dreadful howl cadenced into an innocent bleating. Disraeli writes of Lord Manfred, who, after committing many outrages upon the . .people, seemed suddenly to become friendly, and invited them to a banquet. After most of the courses of food had been served, he blew a horn, which was in those times a signal for the servants to bring on the dSBert, but in this case it was the signal for assassins to enter and

slay the guests. His pretended friendliness was a cruel fraud: and there are

now people whose smile is a falsehood.
