It is too early to tell whether the resurrection of the Democratic party is to bring prosperity or tothe business of the country. Busi- ness is in a state of doubt and and anxiety. It is afraid. It has pprehend such a meddling with sil > tariff as will upset values and create confusion and disaster. The sensitive nerves of enterprise are laid bare to the touch of rude and to some extent un- skilled hands, and sometimes the mistakes that appear to be small lead to widespread calamity and distress, It is a good idea to let well-enough alone as far as that can be done. Continual tinkering means continual misfortune. Whate be done with silver—and it will be far e do too much than too little, for the roaring and r y thei and the power which follows it y serious meddling with the tariff would inevital followed by such misfortune as would send the back to the graves they recently vi the port rated, Perhaps this peril will act, along with te, as the requisite check. A large n of the party is made up of Protection- ists, though Mr. Carlisle has succeeded Mr. Randall and the latter has been cruelly snubbed by his party in the House, It is not a safe time to run wild in behalf of free trade, or very much freer trade than such a time party v now control it as to make th nt possible. But, however that 1 be, business waits. Labor waits in consequenc rprise is idle and apprehensive. re is not that feel- ing of security which attends the existence of a fixed and well-known policy. Itis felt that it isin the power of the Democratic part bring prosperity or disaster, and the choice be made in a few e have now, if me. The Deme fain the at its w tev Atie power it has must be made soon and mi weeks or day: THAT COAT, SON. FIT. Human nature is so constituted that pro- nS are apt to be endorsed or condemned happen to favor or oppose t who presents the opinion. Personal create opinion to a large extent, melancholy as the fact is. The JupGe would not say, for the world, that Republicans want to reform as the person nterests, | the civil service by keeping themselves in office and Democrats out of office, nor would it intimate that the only Democratic idea of reform is to turn Republicans out and put in; but it is curious that the of the average man is s¢ structed as to enure, if adopted, to his own personal benefit. When we get to heaven we shall ha a reform as to office-holding and offi that the angels will sing its praises on od mi: i en to the neglect of other 1 ng; but so far as this world is concerned the idea as pre sented, though so pretty as,to warrant con- tinual praise, is as impossible as are the aii castles of the too-expectant youth and the diminutive fairies of the old story-books. There is, howe a funny heavy folly to which the’ professional poli- ticians are treating us. The spectacle of er Cleveland trying to put the Demo- cratic party into a civil service garment is quite as suggestive as the assumption by the ass known to history of the lion's skin. The garment is as much too large for the wearer as such e-fillin “aster to | be | er men will so | the shirt is for the bean-pole; and there must necessarily be so many alterations as to spoil the garment altogether. Still, Mr. Cleveland is as honest as dealers of his class generally are—we must admit that. THE LATEST CALAMIT Y. The mania for cheap furniture, especially if | it may be had on the installment plan, has en- tered half the households of this thickly popu- lated island and has spread around our borders like an impenetrable fog. If Mrs. Toodles were to be revived she would probably hug her | self for happiness, and succeed in breaking the | bones of her suffering husband as well. This cheap furniture is warranted to do any. but last. It is bright e, and truth to tell it is m 1 purposes—it must not be used. was when chairs were made to sit in did they not often hold two persons ¢ | tables to hold the sustenance necessiry to life and its accompanying dishes, beds to sleep in, yea mirrors to show tl see him, and the domestic use were all they these things have come t low mockery—they | they disappoint, they terrorize, they vulgarize | our utterances, they provoke our family quar rels, they break our bones. | The aged declaration that a dollar saved is a dollar earned had better pass It is false ptus say as cheap furniture.

It ought to be a popular impression that it akes a cheap man to insult an employe of the vated railway. This emple Iy be inclined to assume airs, but in nine out of ten cases he does no more than his employ. ers exact of him, and if he doesn’t do that he must be discharged. His airs, to make the most of them, are not half as mean as those of the men who hold him in their small contempt.

Tt seems to the JUDGE that this was malicious cowantice on the part of the nicely dressed young man, The guard whom he attacked ul committed no offence, He was really as Ipless as if he had been a cripple: for if he resented the assault made upon him the | company for which he works, having any number of men ¥ to fill his place, would have discharged him, and so escaped a trouble: some investigation. There are a good ma dressed young men who put on the disagreeable airs which they are pleased to accredit to the employes of the elevated railways.
