WEEKLY—Same rates as for tha Thoafianda of persons who voted and worked for Blaine are bolding office under a Democratic adminis tration. Had Mr. Blaine been elect •d, how many Democrats woo'd have been in office today f “O. where will the springtime come to me, With the lilt of birds, And the low of herds, And the vaont ing boom of the beef ' inquires I’oet Scollard. This depends somewhat on where Mr. S. lives. If he is very far north of the Ohio, he might con suit sonio truthful passenger agent. The information that “cholera hogs” are utilized in making lard should not discourage consumers. It ia better for lard porkers to die off suddenly that to depart with some lingering disorder. No doubt a hog that gradually perished from a set tied melancholy would be rejected by the lard makers. It would be well for the Demo crata of the different oonnties in Georgia to give specific instructions to their delegates to the State Con vention to send no representatives to the nation*! convention who are not in full sympathy with President Cleveland's tariff views as ennnciat ed in his last annual message. Louisville Courier Journal; A protection organ says that Senator Joe Brown “stands on the Demo cratio platform with both feet.” It has been supposed, hitherto, that Senator Brown was jumping on the Democratic platform with both feot; but it will stay-thore, wbatever Mr. Brown is doing. A good deal of the time Mr. Browu is dancing, and the people are paying the fiddler. Courier Journal: The Iticbmond Dispatch says: “There are thou sands of Protectionists in the Demo cratio party, and the fact might as well be recognized.’’ Well,they have no buBiuess being there, nnd. if they possessed the courage of their con viotions, they would not be. They would go into the Republican party, where they belong. No man can bo a Demoorat and a Protectionist. As well io 1860 might one bo described as “a Free soil Secessionist,“ Along with the doctrine of protection.go all the other isms of paternal govern meut, which is abhorrent to Demo cracy. The sooner this is recognized, the better. ‘‘Trusts” seem, just now, to be in public disfavor. There lias never been a more excellent result ol the overthrow of party supremacy than the exposure of monopolies in the relation they sustain to the people. The protection policy of the Repub¬ lican party is alone responsible for their existence and insolence. When ever legislation seeks to aid monopo¬ lies in engrossing the products of a country, the interests of the people suffer severely. It is true, as is claimed, the tax imposed through protection if invisible, but it strikes the body politic with etjual forco that the unseen malaria attacks the human system, and sows germs of poverty, that disease which is tho result of robbing the many to en¬ rich the few. An Imperative Necessity. Whst pur# air is to nn unhealthy locality, what spring cleaning it to the neat house¬ keeper, so Is Hood's Sarsaparilla body needs to every- be body, at this season. The to thoroughly renovated, the blood purified and vitalized, the germs of disease destroyed. Scrofula, Salt Kbeuni, and all other blood disorders are cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla, the moet popnlar and successful spring medi- etne. ON THE BUN AT LAST. * Oar esteemed New York con tern- porary, the Tribune, reaches the conclusion, at the end of one of its hefty editorials on the political *itaation that ‘‘in general probably nine Republicans ont of ten have persond knowledge that free trade plots of Democrats wonld cost them the votes of many workingmen. These men are apt to feel that the Republican party has but to meet the tariff question bravely, with n candidate whoso record is a plat form, in order to inrure its suer oess. They may take a much too sanguine view, but at all events are nearer right than the half-scared unfortunates who imagine that an omDibus load of free trade Mug wnmps must be placated or all the fat is in the tire.” Our New York contemporary pro mulgated this on the 20th of March. On tho 21st the Republican cam paign was formally opened by the Republicans of the great Republican State of Iowa, who gathered in con vention, and after stnbborn wraDg ling in their Committee on Resolu tions, agreed 'upon a platform in which net one word was said about the tariff. Is this the way in which the Re publican party proposes “to meet the question bravely ?*’ Is this the bugle call of those “nine Republicans out of ten who have personal knowledge that free trade plots of Democrats” are going to cost tho party in power so dear’ Or is it tho dictation of “the half- scared unfortunates who imagine that an omnibus load of free trade Mugwumps must be placated or all the fat is in the fire/’ 4 Evidently, wbatever it is, the Re pnblicau party does not start off very valorously and agressively in tbo Northwest in its fight against the so called free trade plots of the Dem ocrats. Imleed, if we are to judge by their action in their Iowa conven tion, instead of meeting the “plot tctv‘ at all they had not the courage to raise their voice against them in so much as a whisper, but ignomin iously turn ed tuil and fled the field, on which prophets like the Tribune insist that such a glorious victory is to be won by them. Th is looks very much like the Re-- publicans are on tho run before the battle fairly opens. Cannot the Tribune prevail upon that mighty warrior chieftain, the Plumed Knight to leave his idling in the Old World and hasten home and stay the retreat of his party,which bids fair to become a rout ? ----- — —• Hero is an item for people who pin their faith to the superstitions con>, nected with the number thirteen. For thirteen years Mr. II. H. Wilson, of Pittsburg, Pa., courted Miss Louisa E. Wilson, of the same city. For thirteen years he duded marriage, though persistently proposing it. He thought courtship the happiest season of life. During thirteen years Miss Wilson saved up the various love letters from her evasive knight, and now, at the expiration of the thirteen years, she sues for a breach of promise, asking the court to give her #80,000 for her failure to bring Henry to time. It remains to bo seen whether thirteen is an unlucky number for Mr, and Miss \Vilson. One of them is sure to join the army of superstitious people. -KOCCH ON RATS,” flics, Tfrars out rats, mice, roadies, ants, ed-lmgs, beetles, insects, skunks, chipmunks, jack abbits, sparrow*, gophers, druggists. aoths, moles. 15c.

Corcoran, eighty nine, Mr. Al- cott, eighty eight, and Chief Justice Waite, seventy one, have all died this year and these deaths cal! atten¬ tion to the longevity of active and famous men in all lands. In America, George Bancroft, the historian, is eighty seven. Neal Dow, only a few weeks ago defeated when a candidate for Mayor of Port¬ land, is eighty four. Simon Cameron, who was in Lincoln’s cabinet, is eighty eight. Had Mr. Lincoln lived until now be would have been seventy eight. David Dudley Field is eighty two. General Joseph E. Johnson a;; ! John G. Whittier are eighty. Jefft <n Davis is seventy nine- O ver end ell Holmes and Hannibal .latiiliii are, with Gladstone and Tennyson, eighty eight. Presi¬ dent McCosh, of Princeton, and President Noah Porter, of Yale, are seventy six. President Barnard, of Columbia College, is seventy eight. Professor Dana, Gen. Fremont and ex-Senator Sherman are seventy four. Admiral fYrrer is seventy three. Gen. J Early is seventy two. Justice Miiler, Justice Field and Senator Dawes are seventy one, the age of Chief Justice Waite. Louis Kossuth still lives, at the age of eighty five. Cardinal New¬ man is eighty six. \ on Moltke is eighty sever. Ferdinand de Lesseps is eighty twc. ’ardinal Manning is seventy nine. he Pope is seventy seven. John Bright, Marshal Ba- zaine and Kinglake, the historian of the Crimea, are seventy six. Robert Browning and Mcissonier are seventy five. Bismarck, Earl Granville and Rawlinson, the historian, are seventy two. This certainly shows great vitality among the leaders of the Nineteenth Century. Our times seem to belong to the old men. But most of them would probably be willing to ex¬ change fame for youth. Be Sure to Cet Hood's Sarsaparilla, my child. See that they do not give you anything else.
