SHOUTING WITH THE mAJoRnrY

s1OO WE - - - - A&A. ~ - . -
Shortly after the veto of the Chinese
restriction bill by Hayes, Senator Sar.
gent of California. in a letter to Gov
ernor Kinkead, of Nevada. charged the
President with being double-faced. In
that letter Sargent said:
LET it not be thought that the rep
resentatives of the Pacific entered into
this struggle without assurances of ex
scutiye sympathy and approval. We
supposed. we understood, that such
bill would be approved. l found Mr..
Hayes and Mr.. Evarts in repeated in
terviews. if | could judge from CONVEX
sstions. extremely snti-Chinese. They
hardly needed information. 80 ready
we're they to apprehend and sympa-
thize. Was this mere pretence. or did
they disown their con victions when the
senseless clamor against them came?
I confess to doubt on this point In
either case pretext was found to veto
the bill, and the message contained
scant courtesy for the slaughtered
opinions of few weeks before"
Commenting on this. the New York
Sun. which persists in calling Hayes
the Fraudulent" President. and always
speaks of the Senator as Efigy "Sar
gent, showing that it is not partial to
either. says. there are circumstances
that support Ssrgenls view of the con
duct of Hayes in the matter. The first
is the visit of Key to California last
Summer, during which he gave the
people Of San Francisco assurances that
the Administration was in sympathy
with them on the Chinese question.
The second is the emphasis which the
veto message lays on the section of the
bill which declares q part of the Bur
hngame treaty abrogated, thus avoiding
sny declaration against the principles
of race discrimination. From, these
circumstances the Sun infers that the
policy of Hayes is to "shout with the
majority" Last Summer there was no
interest manifested in. the east on the
Chinese question. and Hayes. sympa-
shized with the people OF the Pacific
Coast. because the majority Of those
who were agitating the question were
sgainst the Chinese. when the re-
striction bill passed Congress the cry of
the majority was against it. and Hayes
joined in the clamor and SHOUTED
with the majority" Thatthis estimate
Of the President is correct there is
scarcely q doubt. 1t il conceded by his
political friends. as we'll as enemies,
stat he has no backbone. and is swayel
m his opinions by the cIamor of the
she majority. Had he approved the
Chinese bilLhe would to-day. instead of
being accused of treachery by the Pa
sidn Coast delegation in Congress and
turned in efigy by the people of Cali
fornia. be one of the most popular men
N the land, and wonld be respected for
his firmness by the opponents OF the
Chinese bill. who now despise him for
his weakness.

A Hard Winter.

During the drizzle yesterday after
noon there was choice crowd OF old
citizens under the porticos of the City
hall, and one such group was joined by
threadbare strenger, who scratched
his itching back against the carving on
Cne Of the pillars and asked:
Gentlemen. is this going to be a
hard winter?'
at isl replied every man together.
"Wcrk will be scarce and provisions
high. eh?'
Yes. they replied.
Weather will be SO all fired cold
that water vii burst all the water pipes,
l snppose?"
"Yes. it will"
Won't be any show for poor man

up as a vsg, because that's low-dowu.
1 d rather be charged with assault and
battery. Will one of you gentlemen
please let me cuff off your hat and then
ask the officer to arrest me?'
After some hesitation one citizen with
more philanthropy than the others
stepped ont. His ping hat was jammed
clear down to his top vest-buttnn at q
blow he was knocked right aud left by
cuffs on the head. and ns a climax was
whirled around and given several kicks
which weighed fifty pounds a pieco.
"There!' said the stranger, as he
shut off steam and slowed up. THAT
fixes both OF us; you'll remember me
and I'll remember you, sad you may
call an officer"
Some of the group called one out of
the corridor; but the officer said he
could not make such an arrest unless he
cav the fight or had a warrant.
Every we'll. replied the stranger. as
he moved of. II am willing to subnit

Didn't Want to Grow Up Bad.

OF all the spectacles of neglect aud
want in a ''cold world" none is more
pitiful than that of q child begging,
not Tor charity, but for Christian care
and moral training. This kind recent,
ly occurred in New York.
A bright little boy twelve years old,
who said his name was Tommy McEvoy,
went alone into the Jefferson Market
Police Court last evening and said to
Justice Morgan. Judge. your honor, I
want to give myself up."
"Why, my boy" asked the court.
"Because. replied the lad, "I have
got no home, and 1 don't want to live
in the streets and become bad boy" t"
"Why don't you stay at home?"
/ II have got no home. Father has
been dead nine years, and mother died
before that
"But where have you been living
since?"
"With my amt. She lives on Forty.
flrst Street. But she gets drunk and
won't let me stay in doors. To-day she
chased me ont, and said If I ever came
back she wonld do something awful to
me. I'm afraid Of her, and so I've gst
no home.
Nobody will take me in because I
have no good clothes and don't look
nice. can't get any work. and can't
get ANYTHING to eat unless I beg or steal
it. Then the police will take me. I
don't want to be arrested. don't want
to steal, cor to be bad boy. Won't
you please send me to some place where
I can learn something and get to be D

The Justice told the boy there were
such places for good boys, md taking
the little fellow under his protection,
promised to And him home in some
good institution.

A Silent Sermon.

Mr.. Harry was riding slowly along
the dusty road, looking in all directions
for a stream, or even houss. where he
might refresh his tired, thirsty horse
with drau2ht OF water. While he
was thinking and wondering. he turns
ed an abrupt bend in the road, and saw
before him a comfortable looking farm
housa, and ut the same tima boy ten
or twelve years old came ont into the
road WITH = small pail, and stood direct
ly before him.
"Whgt do you wish. my boy?" said
Mr. Harry stopping his horse.
"Wealdyo your horse like to drink, sirl"
said the boy, respectfully.
"Tndesd he would. and was wonder
lag whaEe cor1ld obtain it," .>
Mr Harvy thought little of it. sup-
posing, Of course, that the boy earned
few pennies in this manner; and there
fore he offered him bit of silver. and
was astonished 10 ses him refuse it.
II would like yon to take it,. he.said,
looking earnestly at the child. and obs
serving for the first time that he limp
ed slightly.
"Iudeed, sir, don't want it. It is
little enough 1 can do Tor myself or any
one. I am lame, and my back is bad.
sir. and mother says no matter how
small favor may seem, if it is ell We
are capable of, God loves il as much as
be does a very large favor; aud this is
tho most l can do for others. You see,
sir, the distance from Painsville is
eighteen miles 20 this spot, and | hap>
l. l. n. L.
the road that distance. and the houses
are at some distance from the road. aud
so. sir. almost every one passing here
is sure to have thirsty horse"
Mr.. Harvey looked down into the
gray ewes that were kindlipg and glow
ing with the thought of doing good TO
others. aud n moment later he logged
of, pondering deeply upon the quaint
little sermon that had been deli vered
so innocently and unexpectedly.

How to Love God,

= =
In a beautiful New England village,
q boy, about ten years old. lay very
sick, drawing near to death. and very
sad. He WAS JOINT heir, with an only
brother, to q great estate. and the ms
heritauco was Just about coming into
his possession, but il was not the loss OF
this that made him sad. He was q
daying boy, and his heart longed for q
treasure which be knew had never been
his. and which was worth more to him
nov then all the gold Of all the Vest
ern mines.
Que day came into his room. l sat
down by him, took his hand. and,
looking 10 his troubled face. asked him
what made him 40 sad
"Uncle," said he. II want to love
lnd. Won't you tell me how to love
0od?"
1 cannot describe the pitesus tones
in which he said these wordm Ind the
look Of trouble which he gave me. I
said 10 him.
"My boy, you must treat God FIRST.
aud then yon will love him without
trying to at all. "
With surprised look he exclaimed:
"What did you say?"
repeated the exact words again. and
l shall never forget how his large hazs'
eye opened on ma, and his cheek Hush
ed as he slnwly SAID:
"Well, I never knew that before. /
always thought that must love God
first before I bad any right to trust
him"
mo, nv dear boy.' answered.
"God wants us to trust him; that is
wh.t jesus always asks Us to do first of
all, and he knows That as soon as we
trust Him We shall begin to love him
That is the way to love G,d. to put
yonr trust in him Hrst Of oil.
Then spoke to him OF the Lord
Jesus. aud how God sent him that we
might believe in him. and how, all
through his life. he tried to win the
trust OF men; how grieved be wss
when men would no. believe in him.
and how every ono who believed came
to love without trying to love at all.
He drank in all the truth, and. simply
saying; II will trust Jesus now." with
out an effort pnt his young soul IN
Christ's hands that very hour and SO
he came into the peace OF God which
passeth understanding. and lived in it
calmly and = seetly to the end. None
of all the loving friends. who watched
over him during the remsiriug weeks
of his life, doubted that the dear boy
had learned to love God without trying
to. aud. that dying he went to Him
whom not having seen he nad loved.
