No Charge.

Mister" said two small boys to
Sergeant Buddington, at the Charles
street police station, on Saturday
night, I've found this young un in
Christopher street. An old woman
was a-trying of to pick it up
With one hand each of the boys
held the hands of a laughing, chubby
child Of 2 years. The child promptly
mistook the Sergeant for its father,
and said so, as it ran up to him.
The boys names were recorded, and
they were sent away, and the child
was led into the section room.
There dozen policemen sat at ia
bles. reading or playing dominoes.
The baby was deposited in a vacant
big chair, and sat in silent wonder
ment, watching the men. Presently
the curly head dropped, and fell
sleepily over on the head arm of the
chair. A young woman with a pale
face ran into the station honse an
hour later, and asked, without wait
ing to catch her breath, Have you
got little boy herey'
The Sergeant led the way into the
domino room. The woman snatched
up the child and was hurrying away,
when the policeman stopped her with,
T" Your name please?''
" Margaret Williams
"The child'sy'
"Clarence Edward Williams
"Your child?"
Yes, SIR
Then she took out pocketbook,
and asked, "How much?'
1t was explained, and finally made
clear, though not without difficulty
that the city bore the costs Of the
transaction.-N. Y. Paper.

The Presidents Message.

The President gives to Congress and the
country well prepared balance sheet
showing the public business for year, and
TO this he adds certain recommendations
for. the more successful management Of the
vust concern in which there are over fifty
millions Of stockholders.
The statements Of fact are clear, concise,
easily understood. The recomnien dations
are in the main well conceived and logical;
they will meet with popular approval, not
only because they look to the general well
fare but because they give high official
ntterance 10 thoughts which at this time
are uppermost in mems minds. For
example, there has been 4 general
and distinctly spoken demand for u judi
cious revision OF the tariff; considerable
reduction Of internal taxes; u lower rate Of
letter postage; a revival Of American ship
ping; some serious effort to build navy;
legislation which shall, ii possible, put m
end to log.rolling to draw money out
Of the Treasury for wasteful purposes pro.
hibition OF political assessments, and radical
reform OF tho civil service. .&'
The President shows practical wisdom BY
the business like way in which he deals
with these business questions; and lie shows
commendabie coucerp for the popular
will by consulting its pleasure. 1t will be
observed that on political assessments and
civil service reiorm-with respect to
which questions the people are very much
in earnest-the President takes high
ground and intrenches himself behind
solid, incontrovertible argument. Secure
and stable tenure Of subordinate employees,
no political assessments--this is good doc.
lrlne md the people will applaud it.
The message is strong in all the elements
which. give strength to State papers Of its
character dignity, wise conception, cour.
aye of conviction, manly independence,
plain everyday English which anybody
who can read can understand. It will give
strength to the Republican organization,
and, il tue suggestions be acted upon in a
prompt and liberal spirit, will DO :produc'
tive Of lasting benefits to the country.
