How to Stop Ohild's Crying.

In the cars the other day father felt
in duty bound to quiet his child that
was fretful and crying. So he pro-
ceeded:
"Stop your noise! Keep still! Stop,
now! Stop, l tell you, stop! Be quiet!
VIII you stopP SayP Doyou hear meP
Stop! Stop, l tell you! Be still Don't
make so much noise! What will all
these folks think of youP Stop, now!
Stop! Stop, tell you! Be still! Do
you hear meP SayP Stop, tell you!
Stop! want you to keep still! Now,
stop your noise, and don't be crying all
the while! Stop! tell you! Stop!
Stop! Stop!p
In this strain he went on for several
minutes, when an elderly lady arose
from seat near by, and as she stepped
up to the child she placed something in
its hand and whispered in its ear. I'm
mediately there was calm, and pas
sengers in the car looked at one another
knowingly, as if to say, "The old lady
has had more experience than the young
man." But the young man felt quite
relieved. That was plainly to be.seen.

elusive responsibility of providing ade-
quate laws for the protection of the bal
lot-box, weuld place the Republicans at
disadvantage in public opinions would
compel them to adopt and defend an
obnoxious measure and an unpopular
policy; and thus would turn the scale
against them. Yet his notion, closely
examined, is found TO rest upon the be-

1t is wonder the American people are
not all insane, if he be right. And, judging
from the way they continued the republi-
can party in power, we have been inclined
to believe there was something of the sort
the matter with the average voter, during
the past seventeen years. The economy
Of the democratic congress will probably
cause much of this insanity to disappear.
Ofall the great producing states, Illinois is
in the least prosperous condition, and her
insanity will show itself in the election Of
