t'Do angels wear white dresses, say?
Always, or only in the summer? Do
Their birthdays have to come like mine, In May!
Do they have scarlet sashes then, or blue?
When little Jessie died last night,
How could she walk to heaven-it is SO far?
How did she find the way without light?
There wasn't even any moon or star.
VIII she have red or golden wings?
Then will she have TO be bird. and fly?
Do they take men like Presidents and Kings,
In hearses with black plumes, clear to the SKY!
"How old is God? Has he gray hair?
Can He see yet? Where did He have to stay
Before-you know-he had made-anyWnere!
Who does He pray to, and what does de sayY
How many drops are in the sea !?
How many stars ?-well, then, you ought to know
How many lowers are on an apple tree?
How does the wind look when it doesn't blow?
Where does the rainbow end? And why
Did-Captain Kidd-bury the gold there? When
Will this world burn? And will the firemen try
To put the fire out with the engines then?

BENZ. M. Heatherington, ESQ.

A very akward blunder occurred in our ed
itorial last week in reference to the nominees
Of the Democratic County Convention The
name Of Mr. Heatherington, the nominee for
County Treasurer, was given as "Etheridge, +"
name honorable enough in its place, but
better known perhaps in Wisconsin or Ten.
nesee than in La Sale county. We have also
the satisfaction of being able to state, in this
connection, that the nomination of Mr.. Heath
erington, according to the most reliable in.
formation, meets with the fullest appreciation
of the working men Of La Sale, at whose in.
stance chiefly twas made and that he will get
their unanimous support The La Sale Press,
an opposition paper, attests his high standing
at home and admits him to be man of un.
exceptionable character and of good business
qualifications. 10 t. d" b".

bcinga party to or in lanyi wise sanctioning
the misconduct of those leaders to whom we
have alluded j These men, in our humble ap-
prehension, are their worst enemies, for they
are striving to use the masses of the labor par
ty as tools to put, themselves into office, in
violation OF a cardinal principle of their own
platform, and thus, instead of promoting the
interests afthe labor cause are pursuing ex-
actly the course calculated to bring it into
contempt. The Democrats of La Sale county
beg leave to reply to the Statesman, in its as
pirations to be true organ of the Labor
Union Party, in its own language as placed at
the head of its editorial column:

Chicago Pol1eics.

Not the least notable political fact Of the
day is the one now presented in Chicago,
where a regularly called convention of the radi.
cal party was Asld-a few weeks ssA a. full
ticket regularly Nominated, and yet the cleo
ton of that ticket is opposed by all the radi-
cal papers in the city. The charge these viz
tuous papers make against the convention,
and the reason they give for opposing its nom
nations is, that the convention was controlled
by the so-called, ''court house ring" that the
said ring is Corrupt" that their candidates
are ~barnacley &cCCE - sc
And actuated by such virtuous considera-
tons, the aforesaid radical papers join in the
support of a peoples ticket" made up half
and half Of radicals and democrats proposing
by this movement to GUST oil the old war hors-
es of the radical party Of Cook county from
their comfortable Offices by. the stealinm of
which for years past they have not only grown
fat, but kept the radical party machinery of
Chicago and Cook county so well creased
that the party have kept easy control 81 the
local municipal governments.
1T would be pleasant to believe that this re-
bellion against Official dishonesty and corrnp.
ton in Chicago had its origin in. q something
like honest compunction for past completely
in the enormities now complained Of; but to On
terrain such hopeful ideas Of newspapers and
party leaders that upblpihihgly support the
penitentiary swindle Of this state, apologize
for the last Illinois legislature, and defend the
honesty of Butler and Grants administration,
would be absurd. The true Interpretation Of
this rebellion in Cook county against Messing
and his 'ring" is that it means rebellion
against the Clutch" The keynote was sound
ed several months ago by the noted pulpit poll
tician Hatfield. In order to retain such over
whelming control Of Chicago for the last eight
or ten years, the radical politicians had to
give nearly all the Offices to the Germans, so
that latterly none but a German or one Of
their pets stood any chance. The virtuous,
sanctimonious, lager despising yankee leaders
of the radical party having tired Of this oppres-
sion, now unite in the movement TO humble
the dutch" p ga4rce- ta
The movement promises to give Chicago q
set Of honest officers for the coming year, as
the nominees on the "people's ticket" are men
of the very highest character and standing :;
but that, among the radical leaders, the pres
ent rebellion has any higher motive than to
humble the "Dutch" and put them into
frame of mind to lower their demands in flu.
ture radical conventions, no sensible man sup
poses for moment.

Gov. BAKER, of Indiana, IN spite Of the
learned 1opinion" to the contrary of Senator
Morton and theequally authoritative assevera-
tons of the radical press, refuses to recognize
as legal and regular the pretended ratification
Of the 18th amendment by the last Indiana
legislature, and. declines TO sign the attestcd
copy Of the rarfying resolution. Though an
ultra radical and intense partisan, Gov. Baker
has too much conscience to certify that less
than quorum ofboth houses of the Indiana
legislature can do constitutional Legislative
act. "

The Illinois State Fair opened at Decatur
on Tuesday. The opening was somewhat
tame and discoursging, the entries on the first
'dey canaisting mainly Of horses, cattle and
agricultural implements, and the attendance
at 10, time exceeding 1000 people, which
would be thin astendaAce even at our coun-

horse portion of the fair was something stu
pendoua, A large, proportion of the horses
were Of the Norman breed, and were of ele-
phaptine proportions. There were yearling
colts among them that weighed 1900 lbs
The cattle show was also large, decidedly in

of agrioulturai implements was astonishing.

DRIVING THE EAsr SPIKE.-Governor
Stevenson, the RRGIsrER representative
and several other invited guests assem-
bled in the Office of the Western Union
Telegraph yesterday afternoon to hear
the last spike driven in the rail Of the
Union Pacific railroad. At half-past
two o'clock exactly the word came
"strike," and then followed Succession
ofshort, stout taps on the instrument,
very like the blow of hammer sill
yer hammer on q golden spike. While
we are satisfied that there is considers
BILE humbug about the Union Pacific
railroad, there is none about the won
derful telegraph that can thus instantly
transmit the blows thousands of miles
distant. Though the arrangements
were not as perfect as could be wished,
still the yastness of the idea that the
blows struck away out there on the
plains, where the wild IRdian still
roams lord of all he surveys, were
echoed four or five thousand miles away
by means Of that hardly understood
agent we call electricity so fills the mind
with awe that the greatness of the I'M
dertaking to unite the Atlantic and Pa
cifis oceans by railroad is as nothing
compared with it.
