- £v- - ihe garlmgfon HENRY T. THOMPSON, | WADOY THOMPSON, i - Editors. Thursday, Nov. 17, 1892, THE DEMOCRATIC VICTORY. The recent Democratic vic tory was so trlorious that even now it is hard to realize. The victory was so complete that one involuntarily feels that “it is too good to be true.” It was a veritable landslide. States that have heretofore been con- si lered rockbound Republican sv/ung into the Democratic col- unn. The Democratic party, and the South in particular, had so much at stake in the election that it was natural that the re sult should have been waited for anxiously. Defeat would h tve meant the continuation of the high protective tariff and the passage of the force bill. The victory means a reduction of the tariff and, therefore, the cheapening of the necessaries of life—the freedom of the South, fcr four years at least, from the n enace of negro domination and, therefore, four years of renewed prosperity for the fair est section of the country. In the landslide Cleveland carried, besides the solid South (which includes Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Ken tucky, Missouri and the eleven late Confederate States), the following Northern States: New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois and Wiscon sin. Weaver, the Third party, or Populist candidate for Presi dent, carried Kansas, North Dakota, Colorado, Wyoming arid Nevada. Harrison carried the remaining States, Vvith the exception of Ohio and Califor- n a, where the result is so close that only the official count will tt 11 whether these States belong to the Democratic or Republi can column. Cleveland’s elec toral vote is 277, or 54 more than is necessary to elect him. This is the story of the great Democratic victory and it is enough to make us all beside ourselves with joy. NOW FOR TARIFF REFORM I From present indications the Democratic party will have con tr >1 of the United States Senate after March 4. The House of R presentatives will be Demo cratic by a majority of about 80. This will place the entire government in the control of th 3 Democratic part y—a condi tion of affairs that has not ex- is T ed in over thirty years. In 1831 the Democrats lost control of the government and never regained it until the election of last week. In 1879-80 the Dem ocrats controlled both houses of Congress, but the President, Mr. H iyes, was a Republican. From 1885 to 1889 we had a Democrat ic President, Mr. Cleveland, ard a Democratic House of Rep resentative, but the Republicans hod the Senate. Consequently, there has been no opportunity, heretofore, for the Democrats to give to the country the benefit of their policy. Now that the Democrats will have full sway, they should begin immediately to repair the injuries done during the long years of Republican misrule. Tariff reform stands first in the Democratic creed. It is the main issue upon which the par ty has fought. It is the issue that has given Democracy the victory. While other issues general and local, had effect upon the result in some States (a- is always the case in great Presidential elections) tariff re- fo. m undoubtedly caused the immense tidal wave. High pro- te< tion had been robbing the pe>ple for years and the impov- erished masses cried out for re lief. The Democrats promised th i relief and it remains for them to keep their pledge. Tariff reform is an intricate question and one that requires ca eful study. It would never do for the Democrats to rush haitily and wildly into an indis criminate and wholesale reduc- tica of the tariff. Only slow and sure steps should be taken. But tariff reform we must have an 1 the sooner we begin the bet ter. The people look to the pa'ty to keep its pledge and a cawful revision of the tariff should be begun upon at once. — Terra cotta pipes are being pltced in the large drain that extends from the square through the jail lot. WHAT SALT WILL DO. The Many U»e* to Which Thi* Article | May be Put. [Exchange 1 A little rubbed on the cups will take out tea stains. Put into whitewash, it will make it stick better. As a tooth pow- j der, it will keep the teeth white and the gums hard and rosy. It is one of the best gargles for sore throat and a preventive of diphtheria, if taken in time. Use salt and water to clean wil low furniture ; apply with brush and rub dry. Halt and water held in the mouth after having a tooth pulled will stop the bleeding. Prints rinsed with it in the water will hold theircol- or and look hi ighter. Two tea- spoonsfuls in a half pint of tepid water is an emetic always on hand, and is an antidote for poisoning from nitrate of silver. Neuralgia of the feet and limbs can be cured by bathing night and morning with salt and wa ter as hot as can be borne. When taken out rub the feet briskly with a coarse towel. Salt and water is one of the best remedies for sore eyes, and if applied in time will scatter the inflammation. Silk handker chiefs and ribbons should be washed in salt and water, and ironed wet, to obtain the best results. As a fertilizer salt is very valuable. Food would be insipid and tasteless without it. Hemorrhages of the lungs or stomach are promptly checked by small doses of salt. THE VICTORY. How Democratic Success is Received in Business Circles. |The State.] Nothing better indicates the basic cause leading to the elec tion of Mr. Cleveland than the manner in which the result has been received in business circles The Republicans alleged that if successful the Democrats would inaugurate the destruction of American interests by free trade and a debased currency. The Democratic party insisted that it was not a party of destruc tion, but of reform, and it pledg ed itself to oppose “trusts.” The Democrats won the most sweeping victory in a genera tion, and the result was receiv ed in the markets without a ripple, save that trust stocks were depressed. This shows that the Republican alarms were not believed, but that the Dem ocratic promises were. The Republicans lost the election because they had forfeited the faith of the country. Whittlor'a Picture. On one occasion when the artist Parker had been painting a portrait of Charles Sumner, Whittier came to Chestnut street and said to Mrs. Sargent: “Friend Elizabeth, wilt thee go with me to see Friend Parker's picture of Charles?” “I should be very glad to,” she an swered. “Wilt thee go this morning?" he asked, and upon her assenting they set off for the studio. When they arrived they ex amined the portrait of Sumner, but Whittier seemed to Mrs. Sargent to be preoccupied and to be in haste to call her attention to something else. In a moment he said: “Friend Parker, where is the other?” The artist turned around an easel, and there was a portrait of Whittier himself. The poet was as pleased as a boy at Mrs. Sargent’s surprise, and as she had not even known of his sitting she was natn- rally not a little astonished. He was like a genial comrade in his fun, and, al though he was naturally grave and se date, there was in him a most beautiful and genial humor and sweetness, like the color and perfume of the mayflower under the grayuess of the leaves in the spring.—Arlu Bates in Chicago Tribune. Anglo-Indian Words. Colonel Yule, the editor of Marco Polo, has published, with John Murray, of London, a glossary of Anglo-Indian colloquial words. In this work, along with well known loan words from re mote oriental tongues, we are surprised to meet “Just the cheese,” derived from chiz, meaning "thing;” also, “Don’t car« a damn,” derived from date, a small copper coin and equivalent for a “brass farthing." “Candy” sugar comes from khanda, and means “broken” sugar. “Chicane" and "chicanery" are derived through French usage from chaugan, horsegolf, or what we call polo, a game which has reached us for (he second time since it was imported into Europe from the east before the Middle Ages. Demijohn is not from French dame jeanne, but the town of Dannaghan, in Persia. Turban U a corruption of dul- band, a Persian word for a head wrap. —Exchange. True Appreciation. “1 did not hear of your bereavement, old fellow, until yesterday,” observed a man in the elevated train to another passenger; “let me offer you my condo lences. I feel terribly sorry for you. It must be an awful affliction to lose one’s wife.” “Yes,” replied the other, “it is cer tainly very hard on me. Until she died I did not know for twenty years what it was to put a set of studs in my shirt.— New York Times. No Head for BnalneM. Mose Schaumburg, Jr.—Vader, a shen- tlemans vents to know if dot unshrinka ble undershirt don’t shrink a leedle any- vay. Mose Schaumburg, Sr.—Does dot shirt fit him? “No; it vas choost a little too pig." “Of course it vill shrink. Vy don’t you have some heads for pishuess.”— Texas Siftings. INSIDE THE LINES. K3 Sword fifthlng. The sword Hah lives from five to ten hours after it is harpooned, and at any time in that period he is a dangerous customer for the fisherman. Indeed swordfishing is one of the most danger ous as well as most exciting of all the variety of enterprises pursued by our fishermen.—Lewiston Journal Th. Differ*uec. When a man leaves our side and goes to the other side he is a traitor, and we always felt that there was a subtle something wrong about him. But when a man leaves the other side and comes over to os, then he is man of great moral | courage, and we always felt that he had j sterling stuff in btan.—London Tit-Bitx Nobody knew just why a fort bad been put in th.it place. There was no chance for ftibHng anything except mosquitoes, yet there) was a long line of fortifications, and an enfilade of pickets guarded the liulo town from which all tiie men had gone away. If beauty of location had been a mili tary requisite, the fort was certainly well planted. The earthworks ran near the edge of a high bluff, which rose al most perpendicularly from the strip of land bordering the brown river at its foot. On the other side Louisiana stretched away to the horizon line, level and green as a garden, and In the dis tance a bit of lake often caught some of the blueness of the sky and shons the gem of all this fair setting. The boy who was lying on the edge of the bluff had no eyes for the distant view. Throngh an opening in the trees clinging to the sides of the hill he was gazing at the unties of a party of boys for below him. Close under the bluff lay a white, many pillared house, and stretching bef re and behind it were smooth spaces of lawn, long lines of | clipped hedges and avenues of mag nolias Something in its sheltered posi tion between the river and the bank had saved from destruction this estate, whose possessors had given it the fitting name of the (j urden. It seemed like a vision of paradise to the eyes of the homesick boy who was gazing down into the enemy a country. From the door of a rough house with in the embank! ent two officers watched the boy. The Ider, Colonel Denning, was the commi tiding officer of the fort. “1 am afraid 1 made a mistake when I brought my s >n down hero," said the colonel, “lie h almost desperate with loneliness. 1 vas afraid of it, but it seemed too hsrd to leave him there after his moth) r died.” “I think you did right to bring him, 3olonel,” said the younger man. “It’s a good, quiet, healthy place, and after a while he will make friends with the men and be happier." “I hope he will," said the colonel. “1 feel snre of It,” rejoined the other. “Just now he longs for the society of boys, but he is lighting against the in evitable. He has not philosophy enough to endure nor experience enough to un derstand the feeling these people have for everything inside these walls. Noth ing conld tempt one of these town boys to have any intercourse with him, and their scorn is rather hard to bear. I’m going to send George the Second to take him out on the river. He is an amusing little beggar, and will not make such a bad companion for Will when he gets used to his color and his ways." A few minutes kitor two boys were swinging themselves down the face of the bluff. Will's companion was a slim. Umber jointed little black boy. whose movements suggested a jumping jack, and his bearing showed the pride he felt as Will's guide. Holding now by a tough root, now by the smooth stem of a blackjack vine, digging their hr els into the soft soil and slipping perilo isly forward, they pres ently struck into a well worn cowpath, which led by easy stages to the foot of the hilL Beyond the road which led to the Garden lay huge stranded logs, through which they picked their way out upon a sand} strip of beach, where an ancient skiff was tied to a raft There was a little water in the boat, and a huge gourd was at hand as a means of de fense against further leaking. Two clumsy oars furnished employment for both boys, and once launched their strength was tried by the current, which came swirling around the promontory of rotting bark which served as a break water. But sturdy boyish muscles were at work, and the old boat was pushed slowly up the shore, keeping in with the eddy, and nosing her way through anchored snags of driftwood and up into more open water away from the shore. Drawing a 1 mg breath, Will paused for a minute end said: “Let’s go over to the island we see from the fort—the Towhead, I mean. Where is it, anyhow? I’m completely turned around." “Hit's right ovah yander where you see de cottonwoods an de sau’bar,” said George. “DU yer is de corral. Heap er cullud folks li os yer, but hit's drappin in de water mil, hty fas’. Dat beach tree a swishin np ar. down in dat bend useter grow in Uno’ J ke’s yard.” On the shore >f the bend George point ed out the grim sight of an old burying ground, upon '. hose precincts the cur rent of the Mis issippi was rapidly en croaching. W J il shuddered, and, with quick intnition, George turned the boat’s head away from the bend and pointed across the current to the Towhead, which was now below them. When the island first pushed its white, sandy head through the water some cot tonwood seed had landed there from an airy voyage, and the yonng trees that sprang from them formed the nucleus of an aftergrowth which was added year by year like the rings of a tree. The in nermost growth was now composed of tall young trees, bnt the thicket terraced down until near the water there was none but low thick bushes of last year’s growth. A long tongue of sand extended like the tail of a comet down the river. Upon this the boys beached the boat, and then stretched their legs on the soft, warm sand. “I'ze skeered er dia yer Towhead,” said George. “Hit’s haunted. A ole flatboat man useter live up in yander, where you sees dat black spot 'mon’st de trees. De ole boat washed agroun one night in high water, an de old man neb- ber made no mnost'ons 'tempt fer to git out He was onsociable like, an liked hisse'f mighty w )U. He live yer kinder quiet, an folks done got de notion dat he hab heaps er money. An one night somebody done kill tm an tuk all he bed. Since dat time his ghee’ done walk dis Towhead. On’y Jee’ yisterd’y Unc’ Jake Towed he done seen dat ole ihos* an he Towed he gwine come yer do mo’I I ain'hod much pinion er Unc' Jake lately, but I’ze jes’ about as nigh dat ole boat as 1 keers to go." “Well, I’m going to have a look at the old shanty,” said Will, rising from the sand. His companion did not venture to follow him in the expedition. The river had year by year added to the strip of land, and the old flatboat was now nearly hidden by the under brush that uad grown up between it end the water. The low hut which had once been the boat s cabin was still standing amid the decayed timbers of the hull, and Will noticed with surprise that there were traces of something like footprints leading to it Nevertheless he stepped quite unsus piciously over ti e doorway. Once fairly within be felt himself roughly grasped by the arms from behind. "Yon make a noise to call that boy,” said a voice cloe;- to his ears, “and ITl kill you! 1 tell y jU I will never be taken prisoner!” j The person w o had seized him now faced him, sti'l holding him by the amis. Will sav a youth scarcely older , than himself dr> -sed in a worn gray uni form. His grip was like steel, but his face was so pine ied and drawn and his j eyes so deapera uly miserable that the I heart of his oantiva wanned to Mm. Recovering his composure a little, | after his first astonishment and alarm. Will said, with an effort to laugh: “Let me got I'm the only prisoner there's likely to be. iin not after you. I was only looking for a ghost.” “Who are you? I know all the boys over there, and 1 know you are a Yankee by your cap and your voice. 1 tell you 1 can't be taken.” “See here.” said Will, “Fm only a boy like you, and though I'm a soldier’s son, and 1 don’t deny either my voice or my cap, I don't want to harm you at all. What is up, anyway, and why are you playing spook oa this strip of sand?" “It is all up uow, I suppose, and I may as well tell you all about it. Have you got a mother? 1 see by your face you haven’t: so perhaps you will be sorry tor a poor fellow who is going to lose his. “My name is John Prescott, and over there in that white honse below your fort my mother is dying, and I am try ing to see her once more if she isn’t gone already. “1 got a two weeks’ furlough—you needn’t stare. I’ve been in tbe army nearly a year—and slipped down the river two days ago. Unfortunately for me I made this point too near daylight yesterday morning to venture any far ther. I knew the reputation this place has among the negroes, and 1 thought it safe to wait nere until night. 1 reckon 1 was too tired and sleepy and didn’t make it fast, and the boat managed to ■lip away while I was looking for a good place to drag it up among the bashes. "Here 1 have been ever since, like a rat in a trap. 1 have watched the honse over there for two days, and have even seen the family on the terraces and dared not make a signal! Now, sir, what are yon going to do abont it?” “I'm going to do this," said Will, hold ing out bis hand. ‘Tm going to say 1 believe every word you say, and I want yon to trust me to help you out of this scrape. I lost my mother not six months ago, and 1 do know how to feel for you, if we are on opposite sides. 1 happened to hear today that your mother is no worse. Maybe youTl see her more than this once.” “But how cau I get over? 1 “1 don’t see quite clearly how to do it, but I'll get you over there before day break somehow. You must give me youi word to go away when the time is np. Now 1 must go, or that boy’s curi osity will be enough to overcome his fears, and he'll come to look me up. 1 know you’re hungry, so take my inneh. Keep a sharp lookout after dark." The lumbering skiff carried a very- silent passenger back across the river. George ventured to inquire if Will had "seed de ghos’," and was answered so gravely in the affirmative that he then and there laid the foundations for sev eral marvelous tales with which to as tonish future audiences. Will knew quite well that the thing he had in mind to do was a very delicate and difficult thing to undertake. That he, the t listed eon of the commander, should attempt to smuggle an enemy inside the lines was no light matter. The thought of it rested not lightly on his conscience, but a refusal to aid the poor fellow on the island to see his dy ing mother would have rested more heavily stilL At any rate he meant to do it, and by the time the skiff touched bottom at her landing his plan was formed. Mak ing a careful survey of the landing, and noting the shortest ronte ont to the open water, he dismissed his companion without ceremony. A few minutes' walk brought him to the big white gate of “Tbe Garden." He summoned up all his courage and dignity and marched through the magnolia avenue. His appearance was greeted with a consternation that was far from pleas ing. His request to see Miss Prescott in private for a few moments seemed to freeze with terror the black maid in waiting, but after a brief delay he was shown into a bright, flowery little room, which had a delightfully feminine and welcome look to eyes long used to camp life. Bnt the slender girl who met him with the air of an offended duchess had no welcome in her look. Her manner was sadly chilling. Ten minutes later, how ever, she was holding his hand at the door and saying: "Mr. Denning, 1 never, never can thank you enough if you will do thisl Mamma is a little better, and if she can see John for one hour it would do her more good than medicine. ( will wait at the side gate for him, and he shall leave before daylight.” There were a few more hurried ques tions and replies, and then Will was climbing the hill to a still more difficult interview. A night pass was not an easy thing for which to ask his father, but he could not leave the fort withont tt Th® colonel was a very quiet and somewhat •tern man, and Will knew that the best way was the straightforward one. He node his request in the fewest words. “1 am almost a man, father,” be said, after he had made his request, “and I want you to trust me now. as you have always done In small matters. I car. t tell you about it uow. but 1 am doing nothing wrong. 1 am only helping t poor fellow in great trouble. 1 kno« my mother would wish me to do it" “1 don't doubt the excellence of youi intentions. Will,” said his father ‘You can be trusted, I know; but are yon sure your heart has not the better of youi head in this matter, and will get yon Into some scrape?” “1 give yon my word of honor, sir that in my circumstances I believe you would do just what 1 wish to da’ “Then here are your papers, and re member it is the commander of the fort as well as your father who trusts yon ’ Every leaf in the old cottonwood on the bank seemed to quiver as Will started on his lonely trip. The green band of light above tbe horizon bad quite died away, and the river seemed blacker than the night Things which were plain enough by daylight appeared mysterious and fearful now, ami every huge black shadow around the boat seemed to contain an enemy. It was not pleasant to think of the sunken snags an unfamiliar oarsman might encounter, nor was that ghastly bend just above, where the encroaching river cut far into the old cemetery, a cheering recollection. "1 will not think of it!" he said. -Mt must be nearly time for me to turn across to the Towhesd. The current may carry me down a little, but 1 would rather pull for it thau stay on this side and get the horror*!” HU sharp, short whistle was answered by a figure leaping aboard before the skiff had fairly touched the shore- “1 knew you would come," the yonng man said. “At dark Nina put a light in lay window just as she used to when I was out late on the river, and I knew, you had been there. Before we go any further tell me the name of the person I am trusting myself to.” “The trusting U not entirely on your side, Prescott. Do yon know what it means when I toll you my name U Den ningr “It means that If I play the rascal it would be worse frr yon to have heliied me thau for any one else, i see and I appreciate it.” “The only way in which I can nettle it with my conscience U to courider you my prisoner on parole while you are in side the lines, and see you safely outside before I leave you.” “Haw ahmt Tnnr atokstg “Fortunately for you he U up at the old sawmill He saw me. hailed me, and got the password as 1 went up. Lie low now as we go by. He knows me and will merely wonder what I am shout.” As they were swinging inshore by a raft of decaying logs a suppressed voice called to thein: “Johnt It's Fred, and it's all right You slip off here and cut for the side gate. Harry la there and Nina.” •Now, Prescott," said Will,” “it’s 10 o’clock and I give you until midnight Goodby." It was a long walk. Will never for got those two hours alone on the great river at night All torts of doubts sod misgivings came crowding into his mind as he listened to the mysterious noises of the night and the river. A bright constellation which he had watched at home seemed like the visit of a friend, as it came wheeling into sight over the hilL It cheered him not e little, but It was inarching westward rapidly before the paroled prisoner returned. “Nina’s cedar skiff is just here," Prqe- cott explained, as he came out promptly on time. “It is loaded with all 1 need tor my journey. She has planned for everything, and you need only go half way with me, Denning. Your duty will be done then. Strike directly across, and miss your picket We can maks the Towhead by a hard pull on the other side—at least 1 can.” At daylight Will was in his father’s room again. "Is It all right, Will?” “All right, father, and 1 am not sorry 1 went” The talk of the town found the com mandant's boy's intimacy with the Pres- cotte a nine davs' wonder, and scoffed not a little at the Prescott boys. But the intimacy continued, to the secret amazement of Colonel Denning, and in after years ripened into the friendship of a lifetime.—Mary Stewart in Youth's Companion. Hie M Me The Dumb Restaurateur. Some years ago 1 wae stopping in a western town. During the night a fire alarm was sounded and a crowd quickly gathered at the ecene of the coullagn.- tion, which was in a building occupied by a grocer, the basement being used as a restaurant. Tbe firemen soon had a stream of water playing on the burning building, which flooded the floor and soon began to trickle down to the rea- tanrant below. The proprietor, whe was asleep, was soon aroused by the con fusion incident to a fire, and in a half dressed and half dazed condition rushed up the steps and into the street shout lug at the top of his voice: “1 can't speak! 1 can’t speak!” The ludicrous- ness of the scene can better be imagined than described.—Detroit Free The Sensitive Turquoise. The turqnoiss breaks on the death of its proprietor, and it changes color when he is ill This last observation is per fectly true, and Is certified to by all lapidaries. The same thing has been re marked of coral. “Not only do precious stones live,” says Jerome Cardan, “but they are liable to get sick, to suffer from the infirmities of eld age and at last to die.”—Paris Figaro.
