separate measures, will meet you in the
spirit of fair and fraternal debate. R,,t
you shall not compel us-you shall not
coerce us-eEen to save this government
until the question has gone to the sover.
eign to determine whether it will consent
to break down any of its voluntary pow
ers. And on that ground, gentlemen, we
plant ourselves. loud applause on the
Republican side and in the galleries.]
We remind you, in conclusion, that
this great zeal of yours In regard to keep
ing the officers of the government out of
the States has not always been yours.
remember that only six years before the
war your law authorized Marshals of the
United States to go through all our house
holds and hunt for fugitive slaves. It
did not only that, but it empowered Mar
shals to call posse comitatus, and to call
upon the bystanders to join in the chase;
and your Democratic Attorney General
declared, in an opinion in 1854, that
of the United States might call
to his aid the whole posse, including sol
diers and sailors and marines of the uni
ted States, to join in the chase, and to
hunt down the fugitive. Now fellow
members. of the House, if, for the pur-
pose of making slavery eternal, you could
send your Marshals and could summon
posses and use the armed forces of the
United States, by what face or grace can
you tell us that in order to procure free
dom in elections and peace at the polls
you cannot use the same Marshal with
his armed posse? But refrain from dis
cussing the merits of the proposition. I
have tried in this hurried and unsatisfac-
tory way to give my ground of opposition
to this legislation.
AS Mr.. Garfield resumed his seat he
was again loudly applauded on the Re-
publican side and in the galleries.

THE FOOLS PRAYER.
Atlantic Monthly for April,


Atlantic Monthly for April.
The royal feast was done; the king
Sought some new sport to Danish care,
And % his jester cried, t'Sir Fool,
Knee now, and make for us a prayer!
The jester dotted his cap and bells,
And stood the mocking court before:
They could not see the bitter smile
Behlhd the painted grin he wore.
He bowed his head and bent his knee
Upon the monaFch's silken stool;
His pleading voice arose: SO Lord,
Be nlerciful to me, a fool.
$ IT'S not by guilt the onward sweep
Ot truth and right, Q Lord, we stay;
lis By our follies that so long
We hold the earth from heaven aTav.
ssFhese clumsy feet, still in the mire
Go crushing blossoms without end;
Those hard, well-meanine hands we thrust
Among the heart-strirgs of a friend.
''Ihe ill-timed truth we might have kept
Who knows how sharp it pierced and stung?
The word we had not sense to say
Who.knoWs how grandly it had rung?
'sOur faults no tenderness should ask,
The Christening stripes must cleanse them all
But 1or our blunders-oh, in shame
Before the eyes of heaven we fall
Earth bears no balsam for mistakes:
Men ,e crown the knaye, and seourge the fool
Be merciful to me, foolr'
The room was hushed; in silence rose
The king, and sought his garden cool.
And walked part, and mlIrmured low,
''Be mefeiful to me fOoln'

Barry, Illinois.
EDS, HERALD:

EDS. HERALD;
wish to say something, through the
of your most valuable paper,
about Barry, Illinois. This town was.
founded in the year of 1886, and is situa-
ted on the Wabash river, eighteen miles
east of Hannibal, Missouri, which is lo-3
Gated on the Missouri river. Barry is
surrounded by a good farming country :;
the town contains about twenty-five hun
dred Inhabitants; a large sehool-building,
that employs eleven teachers; supports
three churches-M. E., Baptist and Chris
tian. .t- $50 ar4.,,r ,,,fs s..s-s.,.-..t
This is one of the very few towns that
has no saloons, or places where the in
ebriate goes to get his drink. Unjust say
that Barry is the only town have visited
that had no saloons. Barry should have
the praise of all civilized people, ss.rq-
The people here are very sociable and
clever. Barry seems. very lively for bus
iness, considering the times. There are
three pork houses here, but some of the
companies have failed, like they did in
the East, and the houses stand idle
Barry is one of the towns that wa:
founded on the Nations birthday, being
laid out on the 4th of July. ~
wish to say to the citizens of Wash:
ington, that was much surprised to fnt
people here with whom 1 had been former
ly acquainted with in your city and coun
ty; the ones referred to are the daughter
of Mr.. John Radeliff and her husband
they have been here for about year, ant
like the place very much. They are pros
pering very well, and 1 wish them goo,
luck and happy life.
My best wishes are for Barry that tn
guardian angel will watch overiher, an,
keep her people forever free from the 81
of intemperance. VIM. MILLER

TroubIous Times at the Reform Farm

There is trouble at the State Reform
School for Boys. Rumor has been for
some time speaking of it, and actual evil
dences are beginning to crop out. A three
days' session ofthe Board of Commission
ers is not without significance, at time
when a smooth working of the Institution
would not call for it. Democratic Reform
seems to threaten the well being ofanoth-
er of Ohio's boasted institutions. A few
facts and rumors which are common talk,
seem to call for notice by the press, and
we accordingly give space to some of them.
At the session above referred to, Mrs.
Hite, wife of the Superintendent, and
Matron Of the Institution, rendered her
resignation, at the solicitation of ma
lority of the Board, who allege tncompe-
tency, although be it said, in Justice 70
the lady that all the employees ofthe Farm
were put through catechetical examina-
tion. and were almost unanimous in the
endorsement of Mrs. Hite's qualifications
and management However, 1t seems the
Board concluded differently, and pro-
visional resignation was acquieseed ms
ord the nresent Matron's retirement will
take nlace on May the 1st.
IT has also leaked out that the most har-
monious condition of things does not ex-
| ist in the Board of Commissioners, ana
that there are influences at work which
promise general eruption ere long, II
the matter is not salyed oYer.-Ldacastef
