This was 'strikingly shown by hi vetoes of private pen sion bills and by hi3 famous tariff .message of lbtfT, '.which' James G. BJaine, who stands preeminent as one of the greatest' living statesmen of the country so promptly cabled his views upon from Europe and altacted it in j bis vigorous style. Tliat message and his devotion to the principles of civil service reform no doubt caused bis defeat in 1888, but the elections in 1800, when the tariff was again the leading . jssnc, showed that a nmjority of the people were in. favor of the principles enun ciated in his message of December. 1887, aud the election of last .Tues day fought upon the same issues, prove that the American people are yet demanding a reform of the tariff.

From room to room he speeds, looking for that in which bo finds' roost society' and is most brought forward.

It if told of a dog living in a small country house that when the local magnate had oth er m agnates st ay i ng w i th h i m t h at d 6g would go away and desert his mas? ter for the more diverting and dis tinguished society, Tho dog is all expression. He communicates every one of his numerous emotions. He - - is. so. vain that a large and, it must be admitted, handsome collie has been known .to contemplate himself all day in a mirrior. The dog must always be"in evidence," How much of his acknowledged gallantry in saving life and attacking robbers - is due to a mere desire to see bis name in the papers can never be certainly discovered. In fact, he is bitten with all the sentimentality and effusiveness xf the period. Even his friends, even Miss Frances Power Cobbe, will admit, on reflection, that the dog has been thus degraded by associating .with mankind. He is by way of being a '..philanthropist..
