sarilv disreputable and Inscriptions,
and a Southern Republican contestant
of a seat to which he knows he was not
elected is quite necessarily disreputable
and INSCRIPTIONS. 1t is therefore pos
tive advantage, and may be an impor-
tant advantage, for Robson and Keller
to seat as many unelected South
ern Republicans as possible. 1t is q
still more important advantage to break
down during this process all the safe
guards put up to secure debate and de-
liberation before the enactment of laws.
This purpose is now thoroughly attained.

Robson and Keifer would have been a
singing rebuke, when he called atten-
ton to the fact that of the $50 Republic

Mr.. Kasson put it, on the pending case,
Just three were attending to the argu-
ment There is no reason why in such
House. with the majority already de-
bauched and the minority already muz-
zled, Robeson's jobs should not go
through without question.
Our Democratic contemporaries ought
to stop describing Robson and Keifer
as revolutionists. They are revolution
lists for revenue only. Their object is
to get rich this session by means which
will not subject them to Imprisonment
hereafter. There seems no doubt that
they they will attain this object, though
whether they will fulfill the condition
remains to be seen. After they have
done this they will let the Republican
party take care of itself. The people
may be trusted to take care of it. 1t is
only to be hoped that Robson and
Keifer have not managed so skilfully as
to prevent the courts from taking care

Robson and Keller.

1t would be an absurd compliment to
pay Robson and Keller to compare
them with the Jacobins. Unless COM
mon reputation greatly bellies them,
Robson is simply a knave and Keifer
simply a fool, although Robson is a
foolish knave and Keller is a knavish
fool. Their purpose is not revolution;
their purpose is simply plumber. They
have organized the House, as the coun-
try at once recognized when the organ
ization was announced, in the interest
of public plumber. About the only task
to which they are equals that they have
undertaken, of making the Government
live up to its income and of doing away
with an enormous and annoying surplus
which has the effect of making people
ask troublesome questions about the sys-
tenn under which revenue so excessive
is collected. In this undertaking all the
disreputable and INSCRIPTIONS accom-
plices they can get are welcome and
may be needful. A Southern Republican
candidate for Congress is almost neces-

A Midnight Sidewalk Marriage.

Mr.. Lee Hale and Miss Katie Morgan
had long loved each other, but the pa
rents of Miss Katie objected to the union.
An elopement had been determined on,
and Sunday night was the time set.
The father and brothers of the young
lady by some means had got an inkling
of what was going on, and determined
to watch and wait developments. About
twelve o. clock Sunday night, by the gas
Jets, the form of Mr.. Lee Hale was seen
approaching. A minister had been pro-
cured and, in company with a few
friends of the bridegroom, were standing
at reasonable distance on the pave
ment. The unusual crowd on the Street
attracted few policemen to the scene,
but as soon as it became known what
was in the wind no interference was
made. Miss Morgan, on the approach
OF her lover, attempted to leave the
house to join him. Her cruel father
and brothers caught hold of and at
tempted to intercept her, but she
broke away from. them and ran
to the head of the steps. By
some unaccountable accident the
young lady stumbled and fell headlong
down the steps. Fortunately she was
not injured further than a few unimpor-
tant bruises on her body. Mr.. Hale stood
at the foot of the stairway and raising
the girl in his arms. assisted her to where
the minister and friends were standing.
Everything being in readiness, they were
united in marriage in less than three
minutes. All the high contracting par
ties stand well socially Chattanooga

MY OWN BRIGHT ROSE.

There are gardens and gardens of roses,
All beautiful, bright and sweet;
But, oh not one do cayet
OF all that chance to meet;
For the brightest rose
Is the one that grows
In my own little home for me;
And wherever go,
Full well do know
No rose Is so dear as she.
NY Rose has eyes that are browner
Than ever were eyes OF gazelle,
And heart that belongs to woman
Whom we should trust long and well.
Not far do roam
From the garden OF home
Where my Rose is blooming Tor me;
For the charm of my life
Lies therein the wife
Who is fair and sweet TO see.
So bud and blossom, ye roses,
wherever the gardens groW.
Not sweeter your fragrant blooming
Than the beautiful Rose know.
Nor amongst you there
Is there bud SO fair
As the bud, so dainty and wee,
Which my Rose, so sweet,
To make JOY complete
Has brought to my garden Tor me;

German and Latin Type.

An interesting article on German ver-
sus Latlntype, in recent number Of the
DeutSche RundSchau, sketches the his
tory of the struggle in German which
must end at last in the triumph Of COM
mon sense over patriotic sentiment. -
The Gothic type was the creation of the
earliest German printers, who wished
to make their books as much like con-
temporary manuscript rs possible. The
Latin type" antigua in printer par
lance-was, broadly speaking, the crea-
ture OF Italian humanism, which clung
to it as representing at once close ap.
Proclamation to the character ofclassical
antiquity and rebellion against the
monks, from whose manuscript charac-
ter the Gothic type was developed. AL
ready in 1899 Liebnita urged upon his
German countrymen the abandonment
of the Gothic type for the more cosmo-
politan antigua" and in the following
century it seemed as if literary Germany
were about to take his advice. Toward
the end OF the eighteenth century the
new or Latin type became a burning
question. Goethe was at one time on
the side of change; Kant, on the other
hand, protested against the abandon
ment of the national character. At the
present day victory is once more inclin-
ing to Rome against the barbarians, -
Forty per cent of all books printed in
Germany in 1880 were printed in IAN
tiqua," and the proportion is steadily
increasing. The Latin type must final
ly win in Germany, as it has won else
where, Prof. Kelle is persuaded; but its
friends will do well to let it win natur-
ally and gradually, without forcing it
on the country by any attempts at legis-
lation. - Pail Mall Gazette.
