THE STAR.
A GREAT NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC
NEWSPAPER.
Thb Stab is the only New York newspaper
possessing the fullest confidence of the Na¬
tional Administration and the United Dem¬
ocracy of New York, the political battle
ground of the Republic.
Jeffersonian Democracy, pure and simple,
is good enough for the Star. Single hand¬
ed among the metropolitan press, it has
stood by the men called by the great Democ¬
racy to redeem the -government from
twenty-five years o£ Republican wastefulness
and corruption and despotism to the South.
For these four years past it has beennnswerv
ing in its fidelity the administration of Grov¬
er Cleveland. It is for him now—for Cleve¬
land and Thurman—for four years more of
Democratic honesty in onr national affairs,
and of continued national tranquility and
prosperity.
For people who like that sort of Democracy
the Stab is the paper to read.
The Stab stands squarely on the National
Democratic platform. It believes that any
tribute exacted from the people in excess of
the demands of a government economically
administered is essentially oppressive and
dishonest. The scheme fostered and cham¬
pioned by the Republican part-of making the
government 8 miser, wringing millions an
nually from tbe people and locking them up
in vaults to serve no purpose but invite waste
fulness and dishonesty, it regards as a mon¬
strous crime against the right of American
citizenship. Republican political jugglers
may call it ‘‘protective taxation;” the Stab’s
name for it is robbery.
Through and through the Star is a great
newspaper. Its tone is i are and wholesome,
its news service unexceptionable. Each issue
presents an epitome of what is best worth
knowing of the world’s history of yesterday.
Its stories are told in good, quick, pictur-
eque Edglish, and mighty interesting read¬
ing they are.
The Sunday Staii is as good as the best
class magazine, and prints about the same
amount of matter. Besides the day’s news
it Is rich in spesial descriptive articles, sto
ries, snatches of current literature, reviews,
art criticism, etc. Burdette’s inimatible hu¬
mor sparkles in its columns; Will Carletou’s
delightful letters are of its choice offerings.
Many of the best known men and women in
literature and art arc represented in its col
umns,
The Weekly Star is a large paper giving
the cream of the news Ihewtrld over, with
special features which make it the most
complete family newspaper published. The
farmer, the mechanic, the business man too
much occupied to read a daily paper, will
get more for ;his dollar invested in The
Weekly Stab than from any other paper
It will be especially alert during the cam
paign, and will print the freshest and most
reliable political news.

TARIFF REFORM GOES!
THE MILLS BILL PASSES BY THIR¬
TEEN MAJORITY.
A Notable Triumph of Democratic
Ideas, and Defeat of
Obstructionists.
Washington, July 21__“We stand
or fall by today’s events,” shouted a
prominent democratic statesman as
be entered the bouse of representa
tives to Jay. When the house was
called to order the galleries were
filled with spectators, aud before
Mr. SJills took the floor to close the
debate on the tariff bill there was
scarcely standing room anywhere,ex
cepting in the executive and diplo.
malic galleries, which were vacant.
There was scarcely a vacant chair on
the democratic side of tbe house,
while most of those on the Repnbli
can Bide were occupied.
About half past eleven o'clock
Mrs. Cleveland and her mother took
seats in the president's gallery. Mr.
Carlisle remained ia his chair
throughout the entire speech, and
gave Mr. Mills the olosest attention.
Mr. Mills concluded his speech at
12:30 in support of the bill, and the
house, on motion of Mr, Miils, voted
by ayes and noea on the free cotton
ties amendment. The amendment
placing cotton ties on the free list
was agreed to—ayes 170, Naye 128.
At 1:08 p. a. tbe vote on the final
passages of the bill was taken. It
resulted—ayea 162, nays 149.
Tbe vote was strictly partisan with
the following exceptions: The Dem
oorats against the bill were Bliss,
of New York, Greenman; of New
York, Merim&n, of New York, Sow
den, of Pennsylvania. The Republi
cans for tbe bill were Anderson, of
Iowa } Finch, of New York, Wilson,
of Minnesota, Smith, Wisconsin (ind.
rep). Mr. Foran, of Ohio (dem.), te
framed trom voting.

Assaulted by a Negro.
Forsyth, Ga., July 20—On the
Goodwyne farm about two miles
from town on Thursday moruing,
Mr. Oscar Goodwyne, a yonng man
of about nineteen or twenty years
of age, was assulted by a negro,
Douglas Butler, pcrhnps about the
same age. Mr. Good wane's hands
were hoeing cotton and the slack
and slovenly manner in which Doug
las Butler was doing his work, led
Mr. Goodwyne to reprove him. This
reproof aroused the negro's impn
dence as well as anger and after some
words had passed between them, tbe
negro struck Mr. Goodwyne with his
hoe, and felling him to his knees,
and was raising to strike the second
time, when Mr. Goodwyne snatched
a hoe from a negro girl who was in
reach of him and stmek tbe negro
on the bead, felling him to tbe
gronnd, and thus defended himself
from what might have been a serious
if not fatal blow to him, Tbe negro
was pretty seriously hurt, but at last
accounts was doing well. Mr. Good
wyne was somewhat bruised.

THE MAN WHO IS TO SUGAR COAT
THE HARRISON PILL
By Ruffling for Governor iu Indiana-
Hit Little Anecdote About the
Man and the Tariff.
Indiaanpolis, July 21,—(Special)—
Ex- Goy. Albert G. Portei is a very
affable-old gentleman, handsome and
hearty, with a mildly pink complex
ion, white whiskers and a face sel
dome without a smile* ready to gos
sip about anything, bar that enthus
ing toiic of the times—politics. His
faomsjhn Tennessee street, is pala
tial i» appearadee and luxuriously
equipped. On tbe first floor is a
cosy little library, and it is here that
tbe ek-Govsrnor and prospective
candidate puts in a good share of
his time. At present works on po
litical economy, with special refer
ence to the tariff, are engaging his
.particular attention. Evidently he
is loading his gun with “Fallacies of
Free *Jrade” and other Republican
exploslvos to discharge from the
stump while tbe battle rages.
The Democrats for some time have
had the best of reasons for believing
that Porter would head the State
ticket of the opposition. Porter is
needed to sugar coat the of Harrison
pill, that the faithful may swallow it
without purging. Today it was
learned upon authority—Kepubli
authority—that Porter would be so
utilized. When tbe slate was fixed
oaB&ot be told with certainty. Tbe
fact remains that it was a machine
movement engineered by Houes ton,
Harrison, New & Oo^Jso quietly in
indeed that Col. R S Robertson, W.
H. Calkins and others have no knowl
edge right now of the compact, and
are vigorously chasing the Guberna
torial Domination. At Republican
headquaters, Porter, to outsiders,
is discussed us probable quanity
only; a man who is publicly and re
peatly declined tbe'nomination iu ad
vance. Meanwhile tbe ex Chief Exec
utive of the State has maintained a
wise and dignified silence.
Your correspondent called upon
Mr. Porter yesterday morning, but
all c (forts to draw as much as a mon
osyllable from him on current poli
tics,him»alf chiefly considered, were
good humoredly evaded, and so to
make amends, told a story of a rail
way ride » f a few days ago. *'I was

He was a well read man, nether Re
publican uor Democrat. Our talk
turned on the tanff. and he said a
thing that was very good, but you
musn’t publish it. He said >t struck
him as a iittle singular that in former
times thirty Beven cents was consid
erod an excessive duty. Now the
tariff was forty seven cents, and
because the Democrats wanted to
scale off seven cents they were call
ed free traders, ' and Mr. Porter
laughed heartily at the recollection
of the obs rvation his traveling ac
quaintance nad made.

TOWN TALK.
I find that at this season there is an ai
most fatal tendency for the very strictest
dietarians to eat too much dinner. The
abundance of vegatable* which even the
poorest cook can make palatable, swallowed
with an equal abundance of water or cold
buttermilk and followed by peach pie or
berry tart, all goes down so easy, tickli ng
the palate and requiring little mastication,
that when he has finished the average indi
vidual finds that he has eaten enough to
comfortably sustain the life of a small
family. The pleasures ef the palate sic by
no means to be depreciated in their way,
bat even when not attended by the pains of
indigestion, too great repletion inoa pae
itates one for busines or even for subsequent
pleasures until hours afterward,
« * «
From all of which it may be infeired that
the Town Talker had eaten too much din¬
ner yesterday; but such an inference is not
only vulgar but eronerous. Like tbe words
of a sermon,all that may be said here is im¬
personal and intended to strike no one par-
ticnlar, least of aU the writer.
« * •
lea cream is declared by most of those who
pay attention to other peoples stomachs and
neglect their own—referring to the empiries
ot medicine—to be generally unhealthy.
But I believe that during the summer, when
we crave something cool, ice cream is a
very benificlal substance, as it is certainly a
very soothing one. If, as the doctors say,
such cold articles arrest digestion, it may be
replied in the language of other scientiests
that the digestive organs need six hours
rest out of twenty-four;and what pleasant¬
er method of making the arrest ?
# * *
I he opening of Mrs. Judkins ice cream
parlors last Tuesday was a ventursome un¬
dertaking, perhaps, bnt it was made by a
brave iittle woman, and I believe it will be a
successful one. Certainly if nice cream,
sherbet and cake, with neat rooms adorned
with flowers and plenty of pleasant atten.
tion can make a diace sSffioiently attractive
to be renumernatlve, this enterprise will
net fail.
* * *
It may not be kno wn to all the gucste,
but there were seven kinds of ice cream
served at Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Remshart’s re
ception last Thursday night. To dispel any
first impression that this made it a cool re
ception, it may be ae well to say that among
the seven was inclnded “tutti frutti,” an
article so warm hearted and genial in na¬
ture and so rioh in pleasing properties that
it is impossible to freez into anything but
a cool and calming graeiousness. After
this is said of one of the many articles of
the inanimate meneu, are there words left
for the host or charming hostess, or for Mrs.
Rebecca Poe, Miss Annie Belle Moss and
Mias Rogers, who assisted in doing the
honors of the occassionV

The elegant new residence and grounds
were well lighted, the latter by Chinese lan
ters and a muou peeping through clouds, and
a string band and piano gave forth sweet dis
course. Of course, it was not intended that
there should be any dancing, because the
churches forbid that; but if the young peo-
pie would dance, what could bn done ? A t.
together it was an elegant and delight J
fete, entertaining even to the wonU.-Le
blase.
* * #
Tbe necessity ot B. 8. V.p.has been qnca
tioned by some; but the advantage of a com.
pliance with its mandate is very readily
understood by any one who has given an
entertainment. There are many reasons
which may prevent the attendance of an in¬
vited guest, and a hostess always liken to
NUMBER 15*
ki.ow who a ill be present aod how many.
# • •
Still, how does the guest always know suf¬
ficiently long before whether it will be con¬
venient to go y To answer is to make an en¬
.
gagement, and engagement* are often very
troublesome affairs. , Sometimes, for in-
tanee, they lead to marriage. * ,

There was found on Thnraday night, ae-
cording to the finder's desecription, “a white

plying to this department.

The little entertainment given the History
Class by Mrs. Dr. Drewry, on last Thurs¬
day, was so pleasant that I cannot refrainT
from shocking the usual great modesty of
the society by mentioning it. Five o’doek
is the usual honr for meeting, bnt the class
was requested to meet earlier and four o’clock
found them ready to listen aud leant. Mias
Hammond began the exercises by reading a
short sketch of the life of A ne of Austria,
which waa followed by blsf» > it quotations
from the olaee, Josh Blliin g ’. i .g the author
most frequently quoted topic of the
occasion was a dellgL.._i , uper by Mrs.
McCalt on that famous and highly interest¬
ing old monarch “Frederick Barbaroeea’
and the calls descended from the cloud-land
of German legend to the acceptable and re¬
freshing reality of ice cream and cake- One
of the ladies suggested that this waa the
litter “cat high” of Griffin.

Proffessor Blackie append t to an ftrtiele
on “The Growth of Religeoa Liberty in Soot
land” the following poem. He calls It “a
onfession of faith in fourteen lines, con
celved in the general terms aun in that
spirit of large Catholicity which must have
ruled the cnurch for three eenturiee before
our formal creed* were invented.”
It Is a very good thing with which to dose
an article for Banday reading, although
“town talk” boesn't often ran toward as
mu eh true religion. So here is the Town
Talker’s confession of faith:
Creeds and confessions? Well, I will confess
An honest oread. Where’er I look abroad
I see the living form and face at God,
Which men call Nature, all whose loveliness
I garner in my soul with pious aare;
Andwhen I look within In thoughtful hour,
I feel a shaping presences and a power
That makes me know the same greatGod is
there.
What more?—That were enough, had men
been true
To their best selves; but by base lust en¬
ticed
They fell; and drew till God stretched forth His hand
Them from tbs mire, by Hie own Son the
Christ
Leave me to Mim. in his bright face to see
God's free imaged will, from gloea and dogma
The many remarkable cures Hood'sjdarta
parillo accomplishes are sufficient proof
that it does possess peculiar curative pow
ers. (4)
