THE GOOD SEXTON.

He is the minister S blessing, the church 8

pie come to church to have him help them
up the aisle. lie wears slippers. He stands
or sits at the end of the church during an
impressive discourse, and feels that though
he did not furnish the ideas, he at least
furnished the wind necessary in preaching
it. He has quick nostril to detect uncon-
secrated odors, and puts the man who eats
garlic on the back seat in the corner He
does not regulate the heat by broken
thermometer, minus the mercury. He has
the window blinds arranged just right
the light not too glaring SO as to show the
freckles, nor too dark SO as to cast gloom,
but a subdued light that makes the plain
est face attractive. He rings the bell
merrily for Christmas festival, and tolls it
sadly for the departed. He has real pity
for the bereaved in whose house he goes
for the purpose of burying their dead-not
giving, by cold, professional manner, the
impression that his sympathy for the
troubled is empowered by the joy that he
has in selling another coffin. He forgets
not his own soul, and, though his place is
to stand at the door of the ark, it is surely
inside of it, After while, Sabbath
comes when everything is wrong in church:
the air is impure, the furnaces fail in their
work, and the eyes of the people are blind

hungry man and glutton? One longs to

THE SILENT CAPTAIN.

One of the commanders of the Cunard
line of steamers, plying several years ago,
between Boston and Liverpool, was known
as "the silent captain He wasted no
words upon passengers, and said little to
anybody during the entire voyage of three
thousand miles. But ifhe was neither talk
alive nor genial, he was master of his pro-
fession, and people who took passage in his
ship felt that all the care and skill which
could be employed for their safety would
be exerted. For the silent captain " was
SO nearly omnipresent as is possible for a
human being. Day and night he was upon
the lookout, and when upon his bed, and
in slummber, was believed to have one eye
open and an ear intent to catch the first
sound of an approaching tempest.
a duplicate of this silent, quiet, and
skillful commander is found at Washing
ton, in the person of President Grant. His
competitor has travelled two thousand
miles, and made a score of speeches, to
express what Grant did in four words; "Let
us have peace The air is full of base lies
concerning this quiet man: but he notices
them not, trusting his reputation and polit-
ical destiny to the justice of his country.
men. And he will not be disappointed
President Lincoln said, when he presented
Grant with commission as general of the
armies: "The nations appreciation of
what you have already done, and its reli-
ance upon you for what still remains to be
done, are now presented to you with this
commission. AS the country herein trusts
you SO, under God, it will sustain you"
Years have passed since those words were
spoken, but they have not lost their force
They will sustain this quiet, unostentatious
and diligent public servant, and his revilers
will be discounted and put to shame.

FRANCIS KEENAN,.

Immediately following tho Balti-
more Convention the Omaha Herald
declared that Francis Herman would
DO tho next Governor of New York.
That result is already assured. The
nomination of.Mr. Herman was an I'M
sought and unbought honor, which
has been conferred on one OF the best
and purest men TO whom God ever
gave the upright form. Every demon
stration of public joy hailed the NOM
ination of that distinguished citizen in
his home in Utica. The ringing OF
bells, the firing Of %cannons, and grand
professions were tho order, and such
another spontaneous ovation was
never before paid to q public man, un'
der like circumstances, as was paid to
this distinguished citizen of New York
A purer, truer man was never born
on its soil than Francis Herman, the
great lawyer, the pure patriot, and the
incorruptible. citizen.

OUR BASIS B

The Virginia Enterprise makes a
feeble pretense that our basis OF est
mating political gains is incorrect, and
declares the true basis to be the cleo
ton last past" This is simply absurd
and no one knows it better than the
Enterprise. No election can be a fair
basis that does not poll the entire vote.
How a anyone determine how men
will vote who stay away from the
polls7 In Illinois, in 1871, the entire
vote polIed vas 25S,362, of which the
Republicans had q majority Of only
2l.o2I. But the popular vote of Illinois
cast for President in 1868 was 449, 436.
aud the Republican majority that year
$3.50, showing that 1904 electors
did not vote in 1871. Does any one
pretend that tho vote in 1871, nearly
~. 900 electors not voting, is any fail
basis. upon which to estimate the ma
i,rity this year? 1t is true enough
when al the last election no local cause
operated and the full vote was out,
the last election is the only safe critic
RON, But all know that in 1871 the
vo.e in Maine was more than $4,000
short and that the falling off was prin.
c:paily on the Republican side. The
vote not bel ng polled, the last election
III Maine, is not a fair basis from which
to ssiimste.
Again: We took the presidential
vots for General Grant as the basis o
our calculation in every case. W.
took the presidential majority in Ohio
which was Al AS instead of the major
itv in 1871 which was only l6,0S4. w
took the presidential majority in lndi
ana which was 9,572 Republican, il
place Of the majority in 1870, the las
election, which was 2,56S Democratic
We done this because in each cas-
the full vote was moi polled at the las
election. But it is useless to pursu'
this matter. The basis adopted by u
is the only rational one, as all sensibl
mon know, and as all candid men vii
admit, and by this basis and estimat
Horace Greeley's election is as certai
as the Ides of November.

POLITICAL PRISONERS IN ALBANY,

The story is revived of the pardon of
political prisoners in Albany. Says the
New York Express, why should there
he political prisoners in Albany? 1t is
seven years since we bad an enemy
upon the soil, and yet we have a law
upon the statute book, put there by
Congress, which places the power in
the hand of one man, and that man tho
President of the United States, to say
when or at what time any citizen Of
New York, or in any other State Of the
Union, shall be seized by a United
States Marshal and hurried away to q
Federal prison, without the power of
any Court. without the power Of any
authority in the State, to inquire the
reason why. What, indeed, has be-
come of the great guarantee of Repub-
lican liberty? That great writ and
principle for which England struggled
for a thousand years, the habeas cor
| pus, and which writ our fathers en-
| bodied in the Constitution Of the
United States, and made strict injunc
tons that never, except in two in
stances, seouId it be suspended? How
changed all his now, and how indiffer-
| ent the few to the rights of the many!
