The SMALL BOY's DILEMMA.-A saying
Of little Portland boy is thus recorded in
the Shoe and Leather Reporter: Little
Arthur. at the age of five, had been taking
liberties with his mothers paints, and came
into the room with his hand ornamented
with the variety of mixed coIors which his
inquisiliveness had discovered. sWhy.
what have you been doing, ny child said
mamma, 'to get your hands in such state p
That's secret said Arthur. You must
tell me how you got your hands so soiled.'
Il can't tell you, mamma-it's secret
Arthur said she, quite in earnest now,
If you don't tell me shall certainly whip
you.' The boy hesitated moment, as if
balancing his mind between two horns of a
dilemma, and then he said, plaintively,
you'll whip me if do The answer
averted the discipline of the rod"

-Apl>ll, J,B.,sary Is, 1873
We could till several columns of the AP-
PEAL with similar extracts, predicting the
defeat winch occurred yesterday. We do not
publish these extracts for the purpose Of
elimination or recrimination, but TO point
out to the Democracy OF Shelby the rock
upon which 1t was sh,pwrecked, so that they
can avoid it in future elections. The Demo
cratic party has passed through darker days
than these. 1t has survived the blunders of
many leaders, the hostility of many desertions,
and has always evinced a spirit of vitality
that defes defeat Pecuuiariiy the APPEAL
loses nothing by the triumph OF the Nationals,
for, after fighting the battles of Democratic
officials, they have rtquited its services by di-
vidiDg and giving most Of their patronage to
papers that opposed their election for the
purpose of conciliating them, and Radical
National office-holders can do no worse. The
APPEAL is not an ephemeral campaign news
paper, supported by campaign funds and de-
pending upon an election for subsidies. In
the last election for mayor it sus-
tanned heavy pecunary loss, and was ira
duced and viliGed for committing the hen-
Gus crime of standing by the organization of
it party. But this wrong and injustice and
defeat of the party nominee, while it damp
ened our zeal and destroyed all hope of sue
cess in the election which closed so disas-
trously yesterday, did not prevent our giving
the county ticket cordial support, and this
we will continue to do in every contest be-
tween the Democracy and it's enemies.

TO Cuba are claiming the protection of the

between persons who reclaim their former

against them, or are the actual owners of the
property. These questions will have to be
settled by tribunals, and will be an obstacle
in the way of rapid reconstruction. 1t is de-
cided that all government officers shall here
after be paid regularly but at reduced rates,
