New York, June 2. Brattrtteet's to
morrow wlll say: - The feature- of the
business week is the customary check
to activity la trading In staple articles of
merchandise, due to the near approach
of mldsumaner. with the accompanying
stock taking in some lines; In addition
to this the only other matter of note
pointing to in Improvement Is the reac
tion of the price of cotton, coal, wheat,
flour, corn, oats, pork end lard from
the previous activity and higher levels.
Ia aunost 'all other directions the re
ports oa the business situation end out
look are exceptionally favorable. ' The
more active Pacific ctouat cities are-el-
most eloae In presenting distinct features
of trade each week. San .Fiunclsco re

POLITICAL PARTIES
FoU'tlcs is that branch of human duty
that has for Its object thto proper mode
of governing a state, so es to secure its
prosperity, pence, and ' safety, and to
attain as perfectly fcs possible the ends
of civil society. Among the subjects
which poM't-lcal science embraces are the
principles on which government Is
founded, the development and Increase
of resources of the e bates, the protection
of the rights and liberties of citizens, the
preservation of their tmonala, end the de
fense of the independence of the states
agiainst foreign control or conquest. The
enclent Greek writers treated politics
with reference to ein ideal state, which
each propounded according .to his own
speculative views, pointing out the varla.
tlon of every existing government from
his standard.
The politics of a country, in common
speech, implies the course of its govern
ment, niorfe especially in Its relation with
foreign powers.
French history .telle us thut, "The
states general, that is to stay, a convoca.
t-jon made up of deputies from all classes
In France, convened by royal order in
1789, opened its sessions May 5 In Paris.
It was called the constituent assembly,
but by its own act, June 17, 1789, named
Utself the national assemlMy. A universal
desire for the repealing of all feudal
privileges seized all classes, and even
those who were about to lose .them, re
solved to ofPir voluntarily as a sacrifice,
what they foresaw would soon . be de
manded. On motion of Marquis de No
allls. Aur. 4. 1789. all feudal privileges ex
cept royiallity were uibollshied, including
those of the religious order." This was
undoubtedly Ithe ftrst poUtlcat assembly
rm 'wrt rMir MMa. Pollt-
Polit
leal parties to.-long to a republican form
of eoverniment because .they ere more in.
dependent than any other fonm, and are
organized by people to announce their
views as to ithe proper .manner of con
ducting the government.
The development of political parties in
the United States first originated in 1796,
and primarily by reason of a desire of
the eympaahizers of France 4n, America
whom President Washington hod great
difficulty In restraining from enlisting the
Deoole Of the United States in foreign
war. Alexander Hamilton end John
Adams were leaders of ths Federalist par
ty, which supported the administration
of Washington, Jefferson, Madison and
Randolph became leaders of the repub
lican party which opposed the United
States banks, the English treaty, and
the assumlne of the state debts. Since
that ttlmie .political parties have domin
ated the policy of the president and con.
gress of the United States. The flret par-
-ties that appeared In the field with Issues
wiere the Federalldts and Republicans.
The Federulldts were in favor of inter
nal improvements, a protective tariff, and
a strong national government. Internal
lmprovidments consist of the Improvement
of rivers and harbors, the building of
drv docks for the repair of our navy and
merchant ahlps. the construction of cue-
torn houses, postotnees and other public
bulldlnfis. A protective tariff not only
provides revenue tor the expense of the
government to make internal improve
ments, but also discriminates Its duties,
so that tlhey are t'jvled principally upon
Imported aritjlclee thait come in direct
competition iwlth home Industries and so
adjust the rate (.that such compettag
foreign productions can net be placed
upon our markets alt rates less .than the
reasonable (home market price. A strong
national government was one In which
th'e president was given power by con
gress to protect the various Interests ot
the people by dlsarlrninaring agtalnst for
eigners that levy a prohibitive tariff upon
American products.
The Republicans fearing the doctrine
of the Federalists, lest the repubile should
become a monarchy aAd the president a
king, opposed their Ideas and advocated
Btates lights. The Republicans at this
time were accused by tlfelr opponents
of being friends of France, end the Fed
eralists were accused by those opposing
them Of being friends of Great Britain
and its aristocratic institutions.
The old Republican or anti-Federalist
party abandoned that namij end assumed
the name of the Democratic party in
1828, at which .time the present Demo
cratlc flirty was born. The Fed.rallst
party in 1835 was superceded by the Whig
party, who were in favor of a protective
tariff tamd internal improvements. The
Whigs and Democrats were the two prin
cipal political parties until 1856, when the
Whig party was succeeded by thu present
Republican party, The Republican party
was formed In 1851, principally by those
opposed to the further extension of slav:
ery in the United States, but dfd not pre

18.77 .Tumon Buchanan, a Democrat, was
elected nresldent. His principal oppon
ent was John C. Fremont, th'e Repub

party divided and imUde two nominations
for president, Stephen A. Douglass, who
favored squatter sovereignty, and John
C. Breckenridge, who ctulmed that slav

The Republican party nominated Abra
ham Lincoln, who held that white slavery
must be protected where it was It ought
not to be carried Into a free territory.
Lincoln was elected and inaugurated
March 4. 18ta. In February, 1861, seven ot
the Southern States sac?ded from the
Union and formed a government called
the "Confederate States of America." In
April General Beauregard, who had com.
mand of the Confederate troops at Char

Major Anderson, the commander of the
United States troops occupying Fort
Sumter, to surrendsr, and upon his re.
fusal fired upon the fort. This was the
beginning of our great civil war which
lasted till the expiration of Lincoln's flret
term of office. Lincoln was again elected
in 1864, and was Inaugurated March 4,

The principal polltlculi patties of today
are Republican, Democratic, Populist and
Prohibition.
Th'i principal lssu'as of Uhe Republican
party are the protective tariff and the
Internal improvemeats and maintaining
our national credit. The principal issues
of the Democratic party are tariff foi-
revenue only, permitting the Importation
of raw material of all kinds into th
United States, and are divided as. to
what course to tak'e In malntaing our na
tional credit, aind 'the management of our
finances. The principles of th'i Populist
party are In favor of the government
ownership or control of railroads and
telegraph lines, the large Increase of
our currency and the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. The principals or ob
jects of the Prohibitionist party are to
enact laws to prohibit the use and safe
of Intoxlcatnlg liquors, and -Its foUowers,
coming from all Other parties, are dl
vlded upon other Issues.

THE DAY THAT IS HERE.
"Every day hath Its dawn,
Its soft and silent eve,
Its noontide hours of bliss or bale,
Why thouCd we grieve?"
And yet, h,aw few of us see the bright
ness or Joy m the day that Is here; how
smaiu a thing It seems; how we allow It
to go In anxious longing for the bright
tomorrow, in vul-n regrets for the happy
past.
How many of us now, looking tack-
ward to some other day, will sigh, "Oh,
how happy I was then; surely the sun
was brighter, the flowers more fragrant,
and friendships warmer, and then the
consoling thought, the soothing balm
the bright and beautiful future; but the
living present, the day that is here, has
no Fascination lor us.
"We will not clasp it las It flies.
Nor kiss its Hps and brow,
We win not bathe our wearied souls.
In Its delicious Nuw."
Why do we not make the best of these
fleeting days, that perhaps in after years
we wouid give our Jives to recall? Why
do we, heedless, let them fly as careless
ly as winged butterflies, with never a
thought of
"How we heap huge mounds of years,
Before us and behind.
And scorn the, little days that pass,
Like angais on the wind"
How few ot us now are living this
beautiful June time with a full apprecia
tion of Its glory? Why must past Junes

BOOK OF FATE.
Heaven ifrOm all creatures hides the
book of fate.
FU'te is the friend of the good, -the
guide of the wise, the tyrant of the fool
ish and the enemy of the bad. It Is far
better we know not. But how different
our lives would be and how bright the
lives of others. If we only could look
forward and see which one of the two
roads -fa'te Is going to lead us Into. The
one road treading us into a peaceful,
sunny Cand, covered with a fertile f.ar
vesl and resounding with soft, sweet
songs; or Is our fa'te to be the fate of
many, conducted Into a deep, dark cave,
Whence there Is no issue, where poison
flows Instead of the 'beautiful cool, clear
water, and where serpen'as hiss and crawl.
Fate has led and will still lead many of
our friends and companions along the
dark dreary road. While others will
trod the pathB of virtue and Industry and
wlCl be honored and happy. Fate has
carried me. 'Mid the thick arrows, 1
will keep my stand. Not shrink and let
the fchafi; pass by my heart, to pierce an
other. Ye w-ho etltl linger on the threshold of
life, doubting which pathway you will
choose and wondering which pathway
fate will lead you. Struggle against fate
If it lead you Into the wrong read,
for remember when yeans have passed
and you,.- fet shall e.umbCe on the dark
mountains you will cry bitterly, but cry
In vain.
O, yo-J.h, return, cii, give me back my
'arly days. Chat I may struggle against
fate tend conquer.
