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.

BATTLE, julyl2wi President ms rATRE 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 Little Huckleberry that grows alongside active our hills principle and moan that tain* contains an has a happy effect on the bowels.

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 going to Cincinnati,'• tbe ex-Govern or prattled od. “The train was crowded, and I slipped into a seat by a very genteel appearing Jellow.

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 entertainment was given by Mrs. Remehart in honor of her guests, Mrs, Mary Townsend, of Society Hill, 8.

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 silk handkerchief, not very new and not very clean, and with an indistinguishable mono¬ gram.” The loser esn learn farther by ap¬ 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.
