JS^The National Negro Democratic Iieague is getting restless because of the - Iter that its members are not to be paid with offices, according to promise, for having joined it, and its executive com­ mittee has appealed to C;vsar--beg par­ don--Cleveland. I©* A large discovery of tin ore; in ap­ parently inexhaustible quantities has been made in West Virginia, but its value may be largely impaired by the "Removal of the duty on tin by the Dem­ ocratic Congress which West Virginia ,hflped to put in power. if' \ IV Mr. Clarkson never made a truer prophecy than when he said the future welfare of the Republican party was wrapped up in the young men of the country. Gain the votes of three-fifths 4oI those who will cast their first votes during the next three years and a Re­ publican President in '96 is assured. J©* That is a strong, direct and well- thn«'d challenge in the resolutions adopt­ ed by the National League of Republican Clubs in the closing paragraph, stating that whereas ths Democratic party now have full control of the government, they should either give the people a fair trial of the policy advocated in its na­ tional platform or admit that it gained •apremacy by gross misrepresentation •sd hipocrisy. That is the statement of a truth which the Democratic party can­ not dodge. r. Jgv" Whether the many failures of banks ; - JBid business corporations just now re­ ported is the result of a change in admin­ istration of the government or not can­ not yet be fairly stated. The new ad­ ministration has as yet changed no policy of the government as it was left by the Republicans. The uncertainty caused by its uncertainty, however, may be an indirect cause. At any rate such crashes did not happen during Mr. Har- , rteon's administration. The New York Press quotes Senator Washburn, of Min­ nesota, as saying: "Every day proves to thinking men that the country suffer­ ed a severe blow in the election of Mr. Cleveland. It is assuming the propor- tions of a public calamity. We are des­ tined to have four years ot stagnation in business. Confidence has been lost, and it is not likely to be regained during Mr. > Cleveland's administration. Had Gen. Harrison been re-elected we would not i have had a financial panic in this city. In view of the consequences involved, it &• simply amazing that sensible people - could have preferred Cleveland to Harri- r ton last fall." IMf" It is a fast age when steamships > •. "Make better time than the railroad trains did a few years ago, and railroad trains are made to run 112% miles an hour, or a " mile in 32 seconds^ as did one the other J day pulled by 999, the N. Y. Central's > exposition locomotive. And yet the peo­ ple are just as impatient as ever to get everywhere in no time, and fret over de f lays more than they ever did with the < old stage coaches. The faster they go § ;« the faster they want to go, until proba- • bly nothing will satisfy them less than ,?/ through the air at the rate of ten If'1 miles a minute. Is that to be the final i%. the world? Are the people to keep 8LA**-.®P this accelerated motion until they go A « to eternal smash? It was not so many years ago, comparatively speaking, when it was a journey of weeks from New York to Chicago, and, indeed, almost an im­ possible journey, and it is now accom­ plished in twenty hours. The new poet laureate of England, Mr. Buskin, may ask if man is any better or any happier for all this, if all this rush and roar and disturbance, this nerve-destroying, dis- eontent-breedina: rush, this tearing down »f scenery Mid disturbing the peace of communities really pays; if it ele fates man to any higher plane of i&Otlght and action. The American re­ ply woald probably be, that whether it does or not, "we get there just the P YOtWO KEN O* ILUNOI*. In the last Richmond Gasette we find the following sensible words over the signature of Judson Starr, of Peoria. They will bear a careful reading by all. "The National Convention of Republi­ can Leagues just held at Louisville, should mean much to yon. It says Flag not, falter not, fail not. It says Vim and vigor shall give the victory. It says: Illinois shall be redeemed. Illinoisxciii i ln'iv t ht> Inrgost <iei«>gatioii of any state. Be proud of that, Illinois rallied under the only banner of the whole convention. Be proud of that. Illinois made hosts of friends for herself aud our cause, and secured for one of her young men, W. W. Tracy, of Springfield, the presidency of the League. Surely you are proud of that. A few days ago known only to us; now of national repu­ tation. Such are the inspiring opportun ities for young men within the league. Join, work, win. We were met by the Republicans, you tip and old, of Louisville, with the assur­ ance of renewed devotion to the cause ol our coming. That's good. They pro­ vided well for us; gave us the beet in the land; saw us happily depart. Outward demonstration of flag and picture and band were not such as we expect farther north, but the main hostelry and conven­ tion were beautifully and appropriately bedecked and garlanded. The routine work was sweedily dis­ patched under the efficient retiring presi­ dent, Gen. Clarkson. Mr. Tracy showed himself a worthy successor in the short time he presided and won the warmest approbation from the older delegates. Great journals may make little of our enthusiasm, but the mere coming to­ gether of our numbers each year ' for ex­ change of thought makes mud|i for right political views and education. So we met, talked and resolved, earnestly, mindful of the effect, hopeful of ultimate success. The league does not attempt to dictate or direct in what it did there. Its province Is to suggest, discuss and »nlighten. It is not a Moses, entrusted with or giving political commandments. Its utterances ought r.ot to be so under­ stood. Consider the question it has sug­ gested and become interested enough to discuss them. Your attention is earnestly directed by that convention to the labor problem, immigration, brotherhood of man,eleva­ tion of woman and other topics of vital interest. If the gates of Republicanism are not now wide enough, the proposition is to batter down the walls so all may come in without regard to creed, sect, and it almost said sex. If you don't agree with its views say why. We declare our abiding faith in the common sense and common honesty of the common people. We declare 'The laborer is worthy of his hire.' We declare 'He who cares not for his own household has not kept the faith.' Who shall say that the convention that does that is not a grand thing? Bead the Advertisements "1 don't read advertisements" is a re­ mark otten heard. And why not pray? There is much information to be gained by even glancing through a page of ad­ vertisements and often considerable amusement. There is frequently infor­ mation of value not to be found in the reading matter columns and there is money in it. People who never read ad­ vertisements continue to pay more for goods than those that do. Therefore peo­ ple who never read advertisements lose money. Two pounds of sugar more or less for a dollar is not a very great mat­ ter itself, but with 'an ordinary family it amounts to about a hundred pounds a year. It amounts to the price of a bon­ net or shoes or a coat that some member of the family ought to have but didn't get. They wear the old one because the\ never read advertisements. It is ridicu­ lous to say that "its all humbug," and so on. Reputable merchants do not in­ dulge in lying advertisements. The\ might deceive people a few times, but they would eventually lose more by it than they would gain. A prudent buyer for an average sized family can save money enough in a few years by taking advantage of special sales and cut prices to pay for a small home. There is no particular credit to any one's saying that they do not read advertisements. 8ome people brag about not voting, and then find fault ^ith officers elected. They are no doubt related to those who are always telling bow cheap a thing is in Chicago, when m truth some one is ad­ vertising in the home paper to sell much less. But they never read advertise­ ments and of course don't know about it. Wideawake people read advertise­ ments and make money by it.--Ex. -' Tree to Home Seekers.

The reconciliation of King Oscar of Sweden and Ma favorite son, Prince Os­ car, has at length taken place. The king and the prince have hardly ever met since the latter's morganatic mar­ riage to Miss Ebba Mnnk, who was one' of his mother's maids of honor. Miss Monk was not particularly pretty, but had somehow or other succeeded in win­ ning the affections of Prince Oscar, who was infatuated with her to such a degree that, notwitbstsndinsT the opposition of his father and of all his relatives except his mother, he carried his way and mar­ ried her, the ceremony taking place at Bournemouth in England. Before this, however, Prince Oscar had to renounce his claims to the suc­ cession to the throne, as well as all his privileges and prerogatives as a son of the king. He was deprived of the title of royal highness, of all precedence save that which he enjoyed as an officer in the navy, and was reduced in every par­ ticular to the rank of a mere nobleman. Moreover, he was practically banished to Carlskrona, the great naval arsenal of Sweden, where he lived quietly and un­ ostentatiously in a small villa looking out onto the port, winning universal popularity by his unaffected and modest demeanor. While there, on one occa­ sion, he greatly distinguished himself by saving from drowning a sailor during a terrible hurricane. Quite recently *a reconciliation between father and son has taken place, and at the request of King Oscar the Count and Countess of Torbey have now left Carls­ krona and taken up their abode at Stock­ holm, greatly to the satisfaction of the queen, who has all along endeavored to bring about a more pleasant state of affairs between her husband and her fa­ vorite son.--Boston Globe.

"Even more important than Columbus discovery is the fact that the General Government has just discovered woman says Mrs. Potter Palmer, President of the Board of Lady Managers ot the World's Fair, whose portrait adorns the iront page of Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for June. The beautifully illus­ trated article on "Woman's Work at the World's Fair," by Isabel McDougall, which follows is a revelation in this re­ gard, of which every American has a right to be proud. Another timely feat­ ure of extraordinary pictorial interest, is J. S. Stuart-Glennie's descriptive paper on "The Ionian Islands," including earthquake-stricken Zante Other illus­ trated articles are: '•Ellerslie and its Guernseys," a description of ex-Vice President Morton's model dairy farm on the Hudson, by Chas.

Price; "Bird Babyland," by Nellie Hart Wood- worth, and "Rays from the Search Light," together with half a dozen short stories of real merit, and the full comple­ ment of literary miscellany. . Small Boys' Games. 'A sore sign of returning spring!" said a leading citizen in a contemplative mood to a reporter, as they watched a party of street urchins "plucking tops" near one of the big down town buildings. I often wonder how these 'kids' man­ age to change their games simultaneous­ ly with the season. Just as the birds be­ gin to coo and twitter and mate for the nesting season, so the season of tops, marbles, stilts and kite flying are inau­ gurated among the young Americans of the male persuasion. . Girls' skipping ropes and hoops are nothing to them. "The epidemic of taking up a game when its season rolls around is as con­ tagious as we are told the cholera mi­ crobes will be next summer. One day the 'kids' all over the city may be doing just anything for amusement, and the next day every mother's son of them will have an old pecked up top and a piece of cord plucking away for dear life. It is instinct, I think, and nothing else that prompts them to take up certain games at certain Beasons. Regarding the imi­ tation theory, there never was a person who saw the first boy spin his top in any season, and, furthermore, no boy could start the epidemic by spinning his top in the fall of the year."--Kansas City Times. Anglomania*!. The appearance of those cheap imita­ tions of the genus swell upon the fashion­ able thoroughfare on promenade is add­ ing offensiveness to that which had al­ ready aroused regret. These overdone parsonages were wear­ ing trousers too long and going without topcoats luring the cold weather. Others wore abnormal overcoats reaching almost to their ankles. Some of them wear rus­ set shoes, giving rise to the suspicion that they have escaped from Boston. But all have a penchant for over large ill made boutonnieres and those dreadful low crowned, cone shaped, extra wide brimmed derby hats that are a sight to behold. They are the greatest set of guys ever let loose for the edification of an en­ lightened public. Where do they come from? They are like unto the English Johnnies that come over with the Gaiety skirt dancers--the first of their kind-- and perhaps they will disappear just as did their English prototypes. --Clothier and Furnisher. Kentucky's Unique Exhibit. The proprietors of one of the large Louisville distilleries have secured the privilege of erecting within the World's fair grounds a log cabin "stillhouse," after the fashion of those found in Ken­ tucky 50 years ago. The "stillhouse" will be 40 feet long, 85 feet wide and 40 feet high.' A warehouse will also be built of logs, and between the two build­ ings will be an observation tower. The stills will be of highly polished brass, and five barrels a day will be produce*! The distillery will be run on the old time plan by three graybeards from the mountains of Virginia. They are 80 years of age. All the metal work will be of highly polished brass, and the liquor will run through glass tubes, se that the process can be watched from beginning to end. Work has been begun already o& the log cabins. It is said that the en- terprise will require an outlay of $40,000. --Louisville Courier-Journal. A Hew Idea In Shipbuilding. A new idea in shipbuilding has been developed at Belfast. There is an im mense vessel on the stocks there which has no keel for about 120 feet from the stern post, while six feet of the sternpost is cut away, the hull of the vessel slop ing from the horizontal for the 120 feet until level with the curtailed sternpost. The bottom of the sternpost and the actual stern of the vessel are not con­ nected in any way. The vessel is a twin screw, and the propellors will work through a small aperture, witii nothing between them and the water beneath. They will therefore always be in un broken water. -Boston Journal.
