PoLITIcAL PLEDGEs.-Many of the worst evils
in partisan politics result from the practice of
giving pledges to go for particular candidates,
long in advance of the time for making nomina
tons. Through friendship for aspirants, or
those who are interested in their success, many
good persons often make promises, which, in the
sequel, are found TO hamper their choice and to
connect them with odious schemes and combina
tons Often, as the canvassing preliminary to
convention progresses, other candidates appear
whom they would much prefer on public con-
siderations if they were not pledged already, and>
constrained by sense of honor to keep promises
which conflict with their sense of duty. 1t Is
safe rule to refuse to make any premature
pledges. Professional politicians who make and
unmaks combinations at will, and who have
scruples of conscience about breaking their word,
can afford to be lavish of promises but the we'll
meaning citizen, who desires to use his influence
for the public good should be very chary of
them. For his own peace and quiet he Will find
this the better course. If he is likely to be
delegate to any nominating body and desires to
exercise an independent Judgment, he should
reserve his decision between candidates until the
time to ac, shall arrive. He may and will often
have his choice privately determined long before
but this does not commit him toanybodys pro-
gramme it does not hamper his will, nor prevent
him from doing n bold right thing at the dictate
of public duty The State and city have most
to expect from delegates VINO go into convention
unpledged and resolved to make those nomina-
tions which seem most favorable to the public
interests without regard to private intrigres and
combinations An independent judgment ought
ever to be carried into and exercised at the
primaries and it would be good thing if the
names of delegates then to be chosen could be
as we'll known and freely canvassed beforehand
as those of candidates for Office Caucus resolu-
tions and private intrigues could not then avail
to prevent the average sentiment of the COM
munty from asserting itself-S. T. Bulletin.

SHRINE OF HERoIsM.-Upon the silent heights
of Lone Mountain there lies one of Freedom 8
most illustrious heroes, who was in himself
Cicero and Caesar, Aristides and Leonidas, and
who fell in Pass no less heroic than that of
Thermopyla. While the eternal anthem of the
Ocean sounds his requiem and the Genius of
Liberty stoops over him like mournful Niobe,
his bugle call is still ringing in the mountains
of the West, from the sweet-singing cataracts of
the fo Semitic to the quiet plains of Columbia,
the cold and solitary Shasta answering to Hood
of the fiery crown and smoking nostrils =

Ar a second-class hotel in Frankfort, Ky, a
few DAYS since, little girl entered the bar-room,
and in pitiful tone told the bar-keeper that her
mother sent her there to get eight cents.
Eight cents p said the bar-keeper.
"Yes, SIR"
"What does your mother want of eight cents.
don't owe her anything
Well, said the child, " father spends all his
money here for rum, ard we have no bread to-.
day. Mother wants to buy a loaf of bread
A loafer suggested to the bar-keeper to kick
her out
"No, " said the bar-keeper, "I'll give her
mother the money, and if her father comes back
again, I'll kick him OUT
Humanity owes that bar-keeper vote of
thanks
