A NEwLY-MARRIED Nee nah lady NAM

her better-half. He came home sud
denly the other afternoon, and stopping
outside the parlor door for moment, to
listen, as some prudent husbands viii,
heard the wife of his bosom using such
choice expressions as: ''You are the
dearest little fellow I ever knew, Charl-
ey;" ''Iou're nice old boy, amt you?"
"Kiss me, Charley" The irate hus-
band reeled for moment, and then with
wild, exasperated rush. he burst open
the door, crying: MADAME !" She
screamed; he tore up the carpet, threw
over the furniture, and dislocated the
closet door; she ran to the neighbors, he

entire ward, and creating a sensation
bigger than an earthquake they COM
promised; he bought her gold watch,

THE PRESIDENT AND THE SENATE.

The President has entered vaiiantly IN
io u point blank situation from which
there is 10 retreat, and he can expect no
quarter if he surrenders. He entered
into it with his eyes open and a sign of
weakness viii be disastrous. The Presi-
dent is right and has the best of the
country at his back. The rejection of
Roosevelt and Prince by the Senate was
simply q notification to the President
that the war is in earnest III favor of the
old system of peddling federal offices,
and it is a disgrace to every nanof the3 81
who sustained Conkling. There never
has been more shameful struggle for
spoils in the history Of the country than
that in which the Republican senators
are now engaged and the President is
bound by every utterance he has made
10 do nothing which has for its purpose
the cancellation of Conkling.
The President cay only go on trying
to get men into the New York Custom
house who viii leave the business of
politics alone and perform their duties
acceptably, without regard to Mr.. Conk-
ling's feelings. The Senate may keep
on rejecting, and thereby, under the
operation of the Tenure OF Office Act,
sustain NJ. Conkling as president for
the State of New York" 1t will be I'M
fortunate for the service, but this fight
had to come and it may as we'll be fought
ont now. In the end the President must
triumph and the time viii come when TO
he mentioned as one of the % warriors
for spoils viii be a disgrace. The
Democrats who sustained Mr.. Conk
ling did it, of course, to make the fight
between the Senate Republicans and the
President certain and open. But it is
a narrow minded, short-sighted policy
which announces that prospective and
uncertain gain to the Democratic party
is to be preferred to present and GER
tain benefit to the country.
About the only Democratic newspaper
which takes a broad and honest view of
the affair is the Louisville Courier-Jour
nal. which condemns the action OF Demo
cratic senator's in supporting Conllling.
The sagacious thing for the Democrats
IN the House, now, is to appoint q COM
1nittee to investigate the workings Of the
New York Custom house, which we be-
lieve would lay the Achilles of the spoils
party low, to the everlasting benefit of
the country. As the matter now stands,
the Democratic party must take It's share
OF responsibility for the outrage of Wed
nesday. The President represents the
Republican party which will triumph
in his consistency to the declarations of
the Cincinnati platform and his letter of
accordance sSfglti5scZ

WHO IS He Tho police are now IN
teresting themselves in a sad case, which
has grown out of the derelictions OF an
employee of the Senate of last winter, who
grew to in innate with a Madison widow,
who earns her honest penny by scrub
bing. A week ago last Monday, neigh
bors OF this scrubbing woman, who is
the mother of family of children, heard
the wall of a babe proceeding from her
house; but the vail ceased, and never
again walked the echoes of that region
Suspicious arose, and a few days after
wards, Officer Dyke was informed OF the
mystery by an anonymous letter. lie
ferreted out the facts, after great trouble
and found that a midwife had taken the
widows babe away, after 1t was Jew
hours old; that sister-ln-law OF the
father came to the city from Trempea-
lean county and was given the child to
carry to her home. Further than this,
Madison parties are not aware, but the
officers have sent to Trempeaieau to find
if the child is alive and well; II it IS, the
matter will drop-if not, another Den
nett case viii be sprung upon us. The
father is a married man, aud his wife,
having broken open letters addressed to
him, at his Northern home, by the troub-
led widow, is greatly incensed; the
peaceful village in which he is a leading
citizen, is torn up with excitement, and
the liveliest social scandal of the eason
is rendering his days miserable. News
from the police agents is awaited with
great anxiety.-State Journal.
