A Boy of True Grit.

ened at danger, but conquers it by good
sense and pluck and tact. An Allegheny
boy has genuine stuff in him, and is like
ly to make his mark in the world
Freddie Tenny, of Allegheny, only ten
years old, is a mate of the boy who stood
on the burning deck, if some one would
only sing him into fame. His father and
mother being away for all night, Freddie
was left to keep house and take care Of
his younger brother, five-year-old.
During the night Freddie was awakened
by smoke and nearly suffocated.
He saw that the house was on fire, the
floor having caught from the stove in the
dining-room He gathered up his little
brother and set him out in the cold and
then proceeded to carry water in a pail
and put out the fire. He extinguished
the flames, took his little brother back
to bed, and both slept till morning, when
Freddie called in family who lived in
another part of the house to see what
had happened. Two holes were burned
through the floor, one two feet in Diane
ter and the other one foot.
The little fireman had saved the prop
erty and probably some lives, and had all
the fun to himself He was charged to
take good care of his little brother and
keep house, and he did it like man.

claiming that upon almost every ques
ton Of public Importance party interest

| pie" and that during the whole ses,

| seemed to be not What is best for the

the Republican party?'" when he has in
sisted and reiterated that those who do
| this deserve only public scorn, he pro-
| ceeds to say, in substance: "Fellow-citi-
zens, l have shown you how mean and
| contemplate it is to prefer party to the
| public welfare, but have come to Mans
field to tell you that that is precisely
| what l am going to do in the present
| canvass in this State. Ny party and
your party has laid down a platform
which think fatal to the interests of
the country. But the party must be sus-
| tanned. Defeat would imperil our sue
| cess next year. So am going to stand
by the party, platform or no platform,

fare or no public welfare, and l advise
you to do the same. We don't care for
our own honor and selfrespect, nor for
| the prosperity and industry and moral
ity of our citizens; but we do care
for our great and glorious party. Let
honor and honesty, intelligence and in
dustry, go to the dogs, but for Heaven S
sake give US a Democratic victory in
Ohio!"
The speech of Mr.. Thurman is one of
the. most lamentable proofs of the politi-
cal decentralization of the time That
men should differ with their party upon
minor and indiffent subjects, and upon
the desirability of candidates, or that,
differing upon an important point, they
should refrain from speech, is something
to which we are all accustomed But
that being directly opposed to it upon a
vital and paramount public policy, upon
question which is chief issue, man
should say that he holds to his convic-
tions as firmly as ever, but that he also
means to do what he can to secure their
defeat, is to invite public Wonder and
distrust-we had almost said public con-
tempt. For what are parties, and why
do honest men sustain them and act with
them? A party in this country is vol
untary association of those who believe
that "a certain policy will promote the
common welfare, and who unite to advo-
cate it and carry it out in practice. But
when a majority of those who are thus
associated change their opinions, and
advocate and seek to enforce cardinal
policy which is fundamentally opposed
to that which was previously supported,
why should man who still believes that
it is the true policy labor to defeat it
by securing the success of its opponents
The only conceivable reason is that the
party success is indispensable for some
other still more important purpose. But
that is merely absurd. There cannot be
a more important purpose than that
which by common consent is the most
important question. Mr.. Thurman has
fallen from the higher to the lowest
grade of politician.

From Harper's Weekly.l
Mr.. Thurman's Speech.

The speech of Mr.. Thurman at Mans
field, in Ohio, is humiliating in every
point of view. 1t is in no sense an able
speech; it is only a desperate effort to
furnish some pretense of excuse, to those
who believe that imitation is both dishon-
est and disastrous, to support party
which declares for imitation. The excu-
ses offered are contemplate. They are
that imitation is not expressed in the
platform, that it is only State platform,
that party success this year in Ohio is in
dispensable to victory next year in the
country, and that members of parties
must be tolerant of differences of opin-
ion. 1t is really difficult to believe that
a man of the ability and previous stand
ing of Mr.. Thurman should be guilty of
uttering such puerile folly. The victory
of the rag-money Democracy over him is
complete; for he not only invents absurd
pleas for supporting their fatal policy,
but in doing it he destroys all chance of
his party nomination for the Presidency,
and loses the respect of all respectable
opponents. If Mr.. Thurman does not
know, he is the only man in the country
who is ignorant, that if the Democratic
party carries Ohio this year, he will not
be the Ohio Democratic candidate for
the Presidency next year. And if it be
said that he is entirely superior to per-
sonal considerations, and speaks only
from an unselfsh desire for the success
of his party, he must explain why he de-
sires the success of a party which main
tains what he thinks dishonest and
disastrous public policy. To say, as he
does, that it is only State declaration is
no reply, because he knows that the
opinions upon national policy which
the Ohio Democrats hold at home are
those which they will urge in their Ma
tional Convention. and to aid their sue
cess at home is to help make them sue
cessful in the Convention. There is no
loop-hole of escape. "A more disgraceful
political spectacle has been seldom seen
than that offered by Mr. Thurman at
Mansfield.
Mr.. Thurman's abject surrender of in
dividual independence to party dictation
is made the more conspicuous and pain
full because he begins his speech with a
prolonged taunt of the Republicans for
doing precisely the same thing last win
ter. He depicts their servile silence.
He holds up to contempt their tame do
cility to the caucus. The sole signif-
canoe and force of his introduction Is the
tacit appeal to the manhood of his hear
ers, which must instinctively loathe such
unmanly obsequiousness as he describes.
And when he has finished his picture
when he has lavished all his scorn and
ridicule upon the Republicans for their
unscrupulous devotion to party, ex'

people would assert their right to think
and have the courage to stand by their
own decisions.
4. There is one other point in which
there is an attempt to put the Demo
cratic people to sleep. 1t is said that the
Constitution will prevent any division of
the school fund Not at all; for () it is
not certain until the Supreme Court de-
cides it that the Catholic schools may
not be received as public schools, with
their teachers and teachings, and thus be
paid for by the public funds. This is
what they call compromise, and is
simply an attempt at fraud. But (2) how
long will it take to change the Constitu-
ton if victorious party wishes to do it?
By the sixteenth article of the Constitu-
ton amendments may be proposed in
three different ways, and if there is a
party majority strong enough, in two
years a different Constitution may be in
force. In this country the majority may
do as they please. The school question
was supposed to be entirely settled. But
we see it is not, and since it is to be
fought over now is a good time. Let US
settle it. The danger is that the Roman
Church will govern the Democratic par
ty, and through that change our school
policy. For this, if for no other reason,
the Democratic ticket should be thor
oughly defeated. E. D. NJ.

The school Law.

An impression is generally pre-
valent that the last Legislature,
noted for it's foolish legislation, had
changed the school law so that par
ties living outside of the corporate
limits of towns and cities could
not avail themselves of the advan>
tages of the city schools upon be-
ing transferred, and paying their
school tax in the district to which
they wished to be attached. The
law remains just as it was, with the
exception perhaps, tina: the Board
may admit pupils upon the pay
ment of tuition, instead of taxation,
giving the taxpayer . decided adj
vantage. This law favors The tax
payer, but is not calculated to in
crease the school fund.

to hold services wherever there is a
prospect of congregation, and they
are to carry two days provisions With
them to be safe against hunger; and
at certain time the whole expedition
is to meet upon 2 specified % o.

curiosity with which they inspected
and tasted of the articles upon the
tables. In time they came to table
devoted to the sale of ico cream, and
asked the lady in attendance IF it
was good" She said that che thought
it was, and then they said that they
had never tasted any before, and didn't
know whether they would like it or
not. SO they would only take ten cents
worth in one dish with three spoons.
So they marched into a corner with
the new delicacy, and each swallowed
a spoonful. followed by a perceptible

ed back to the table with, Say, Mrs.,

Enormous Ens,nes.

An engine. says the York (Pa.)
Telegram, has recently been placed
on the Pennsylvania Railroad which
weighs seven tons heavier than the
ponderous Modoc, whose drawing ca
pacity is almost twice that of an or
binary locomotive. The Modoc is Ca
pahle of taking eighty loaded cars
from Harrisburg to Columbia, while
other engines are put to a test when
they pull fifty cars on that portion Of
the road The new locomotive, when
fully initiated, is expected to get away
with hundred cars. The only argu-
ment that can be used against large
engines is that they are hard on tracks,
but. as the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company has adopted steel rails--able
to withstand a far greater pressure
than iron rails-the wear will not be
material. The Introduction of these
mammoth engines is considered a very
economical measure by the railroad
company.
