There was no sound save that d

to his bosom.
"And how did you leave-her
Katie-your mother? 2"
The question was fearfully asked
but not responded 10. He gazed
eagerly in the child's face; her little
lip was quivering.

"She died, father"
A Agroan-a terrible groan-follow-
ed, the mans head fell in the lap OF
his child, and he wept with strong
cries. The jailer and the warden
said that they never saw a sight so
woefui. And the child tried to
comfort him till his strength seemed
to be gone, and his sobs were like
gasps.
''Oh, Katie, when did she die
Oh, my poor May! my poor girlI'
"Ever so long ago, think ever
so many weeks" replied the child /;
"but she told me to come and see
you, and comfort you."
''Oh, this is hard, very hard she
always forgave me-"
''She told me to pray for you, too;
she told me to ask you if you would
be real good after you came out, and
meet her in heaven"
"In heaven! | in heaven ?'
groaned the man, giving way in his
agony. The child was angel guided.
Her soft touch was better for his
SOUPS good than the stripes and the
chains. He had been hardened !;
her little love melted down the
adamant; had found the good lock-
ed up in his nature, and she had
sent her sweet smiles through his
prison door. Long he sat there, his
head in the lap of his beautiful,
quiet child. None dared disturb
him; jailer and warden walked to

THE Liquor Dealers and Dis
tillers' National Protective Associ-
alton of Tennessee, at its meeting in
Nashville, May 24, 1882, adopted
the following:
Resolved, That while we are adj
verse to mingling politics with bus
mess, and with no intention Of
forming a new party, yet we cannot
overlook the fact that when pOliti-
clans, as individuals or political
parties in their collective capacity,
attempt to destroy our business and
our property, and at the same time
ahridge our rights of personal free
dom, we would not only be want
ing in self-respect but blind to our
highest duty, If we should fail to
use all lawful means which God or
nature or man have placed In our
hands to thwart our adversaries;
and therefore laying aside all minor
differences and rs a necessity and
paramount duty, we propose and
mutually pledge ourselves to work
harmOniOusly and assiduously mt
the ballot-bOx against the election
of any and all candidates who aid
to the success of any party which
favQrs the prohibition movement,
and we will act enly with those
men and that party who are known
to represent and advocate the prin-
ciple5 in these resolutions.

A HORRIBLE MURDER has been re

A HORRIBLE MURDER has been re,
ported from Milford, which if commit
ted as stated in the first dispatches, has
but few parallels in atrocity and cold
oloodness. We imagine that there must
have been some moving motive at the
back of it all, and not yet brought out,
and although there is no excuse for tho
taking of life in the manner reported
we await further developments, before
denouncing the killing as a cold.blood-
ed murder. Mr.. Hallett was in oar Of
ice something over year ago and
again some six weeks ago, and we were
tavorably impressed with his intelli-
gence and gentlemanly department.
He certainly did not look like a man
who would commit such a diabolical
murder without any provocation.

our Position Misunderstood.

A working man two Or thee days
ago, became indignant and in a mo.
ment of excitement stopped the RErUb-
lICAN, giving as an alleged reason that
he couldn't stand our position on the
labor question. The stoppage OF one
paper out of daily circulation OF over
5000, will make no very great differ
ence one way or the other aud it is not
for that, that we notice the affair, but
we want to explicitly deny that our pc,
sition is in opposition to the true inter.
ests of the working men. We believe
we advised the working men to move
slowly in asking increased wages, for
with that and the increased cost of
building material, there was d posi-
bility of checking Improvements and
building operations which bad already
acquired considerable Roadway, and
thereby to use our own language "kill
the goose that laid the golden eggs"
We do not think We erred ia the posi-
tion we took, and we would be sorry if
any considerable number of our work
ing friends viewed US in the same light
Is the one who ordered his paper
stopped. We have never failed to adj.
vouate the Interests OF the working men |
and We see no reason yet to change our
course. Some branches of labor are
very poorly paid. 1t is blistering,
burning shame that there are laborers
in this city who are paid bat dollar a
day. and how they hold soul and body
together is mystery to us,
But there are other workmen, mostly
mechanics, who get from twelve to tit.
teen dollars a week and in some branch.

ing, they get much more. 1t is to them
We gave our note of warning not to rush
things too much, for by 50 doing con-
tractors and builders might be com.
PEELED to quit the business and thereby
labor become drug. 1t is true that
living is unreasonably high, but this
cannot continue long with favorable
season for farm and dairy products.
We have no notion at all that corn will
very long vascillate between ninety
cents and dollar bushel, butter be.
ing fifty cents pound and choice beef
cuts thirty cents. These prices are un-
reasonable and out Of all proportion to
other products and must soon find
lower level. Wages adjusted upon
such a vascilating basis would become
very unsteady. 1t was in view of these
facts that we advised our working
friends to think we'll before they acted,
but We did not for a moment suppose
that we would be locked upon as an
enemy to the class of people that are
the main trength of our nation. We
only wish every working man in the
land had Increased wages, if such a
thing could be made permanent and
profitable to all concerned.

DURING THE late civil war the price
of coffee rose to such an enormous ex-
tent that coffee raisers in Brazil and
other South American countries set
out large additional plantations. As it
requires some fifteen or more years for
coffee trees 10 become prCtitably pro-
ductive the new coffee plantations made
no appreciable effect in the price of
coffee, but now the young plantations
then ret out have begun to pour their
products into the markets of the world
and have cheapened the article. In

been in excess of the demand, and the

THE Eleventh Ward, tine latest Access

the Democrats of Kent and Sussex

cratic majority in that body, but now
that the terms of the gentlemen who
were the choice CT the denizens of the

ct the ward intend to have something
TO say in regard to who shall represent
them in Council. Feeling their i'm
portance as the youngest ward in the
city, both Republicans and Democrats
are making active Efforts TO carry the
ward. There is considerable bad feel
ing engendered betw cen tho Irish aud
German elements of the Democracy.
Mr.. Lawrence, a present member and
known to be strongly Inclined to Ia
tive American principles, has been III
tremendously set aside AID Mr.. Den
