tinguished statesman has disclaim-
cd any desire to have IN express
sion from Gen. Lowry as 10 his

Senator thu: places himself right
before the people Of Mississippi
and very justly rcbukcs the onici-

Ivy Captain Brainc lin his opinion
General Lowry was a party to any

Having seen the advance proof
sheet OF Judge StatIord's letter,
we concur in the conclusions at
which he has arrived TO support
the ticket headed by Gen. Lowry.
There are some reasons not given
by Judge s., or not fully elabora-
ted by him which impels us to the
same course OF action III the pres
ent campaign.
We have been and are still Re-
publicans. We have been active
members of that party since its
first organization in this State.
Whenever the Republican banner
has been raised we have been
found doing battle.as best We could
under its folds. W. have rcioiced
with the party in its victories and
condoled with our brethren in the
hour Of adversely and defeat.
With Deliberate rene Citation it
has abandoncd principle and policy
and made an unholy alliance with
its most determined enemies. Il
has joined hands and made COM
mon cause with a party whose doe
trines aud teachings are wholly at
variance with the record and most
cherished achievements of the Re-
publican party OF the State and
Nation.

sionerS, on the bounty OF the ma

shook the dust of the State from
their feet, and sought places of

intention OF never returning, Ga
resolution which most of them
have religiously kept would have

litical storms here at home Join

SADIE for the spoils OF office, simply

such dictation, and will down at
no such bidding.
Ii we r compelled to choose
our mlers from among eur poli6-
cal opponents, we prefer to make
our own choice, and shall endeayor
TO DO SO liom the intelligence and

TO make good their promises, aud

In conclusion ! would invite my
old Republican friends whom /
know think and feel as | do in the
matter, to come out boldly and take
an open stand in support of the
ticket headed by General Lowry.
Let the ball be opened right here
and now. Our course is not only
dcfcnsibl- before the people, but
is UNSUITABLE before the grand coun-
Gil OF the Republican party OF the
nation. And certainly we have
the approval Of our own c~onsclen-
cies in the step, and our own self
respect, and the welfare and honor
OF the State, prompt MS TO go for
ward on this line OF acton without
regard TO the jcers OF the mendi-
cant, or the irowns Of the opu!cnt.
Respectfully,

The Kinchin Law.

Dickens novel ("Oliver Twist'') con-
tains an allusion to the 'skinchin lay, !"
which was practised at that time in
London. 1t was clay" followed by a
certain class Of thieves, who made it q
business to rob children of any money
or trinkets which they might have. How
remarkable it seems to find this lay pur-
sued in our own vicinity. Two half
grown girls have recently been arrested
for pilfering beads, lockets, and similar
articles from girls of smaller size, whom
they decoyed in their power and then
despoiled This shows how readily
specialties in crime occur in large cities.
The ''kinchin lay" has of late occasioned
much complaint from parents who found
their children robbed when bringing
purchases from the stores. The "kin-
chin lay" does not bring large profits,
but at present it will not do to despise
the day of small things. One of the
most striking instances of the "kinchin
lay" was recently afforded by the case
of Lena Swartz. The latter, child of
ten years, was walking the streets wear
ing some nice furs, when a large girl
asked her into the porch of tenement
house. While there she stripped the
child of her furs, and then slipped off
and was lost in the crowd. It is thus
seen that children are not safe in the
streets, and, what is more remarkable,
no arrests have ever been made for this
crime.-U Utica Herald,

Give the Best of Yourself.

A lady gave us o rule, by which she
had succeeded in interesting her lively,
fun-loving boys, so they preferred to re-
main at home evenings instead of seek
ing amusement elsewhere.
She said, "I remember that children
are children, and must have amuse-
ments. [ fear that the adherence with
which some good parents regard any
play for children is the reason why chill
dren go away for pleasure. Husband
and used to read history, and at the
end of each chapter ask some questions,
requiring the answer to be looked up if
not given correctly. We follow q SINH
lar plan with the children; sometimes
we play one game, and sometimes an
other, always planning with books, sto-
ries, plays or treats of some kind to
make the evenings at home more attract
i've than they can be made abroad. I
should dislike to think that any one
could make my children happier than I
can, so always try to be at leisure in
the evening and to arrange something
entertaining.
"When there is good concert, lecture,

enjoy it, for whatever is worth the price
of admission to us older people is equal
ly valuable to the children, and we let
them see that we spare no expense where
it is to their advantage to be out of an
evening.
"But the greater number of our even
ings are spent quietly at home. Some
times it requires quite an effort to sit
quietly talking and playing with them
when my work basket is filed with un-
finished work, and books and papers lie
unread on the table; but, as the years
go by and I see my boys and girls
growing into home-loving, modest young
men and maidens, am glad that made
it my rule to give the best of myself to
my family"
