Maggie Lowell, removing the outer wrapper
of the package.
The inside envelope was inscribed, in large,
plain letters: 'sFor her whose beauty will
best become the gift"
Everybody laughed. It was very cruel,
no doubt; but ridiculous things must be
laughed at, even when done by the best
fellows in the world. This bit Of mediseyal
sentimentality was too much for our gravity,
and our laughter was too much for Miss

Excuse me, said, ''bqt that is unwise.
Give me the outside wrapper and will III
turn the gift as you received it. Ii you hate
him, it is of no consequence what this is, thai
your beauty will become so well. If You have
any word of rejection to send, will convey
it to him with the packet. Sobersides is nc

She turned toward me with flaming cheeks

There are rumors all around that the
Democratic slate so far as it relates to
the nomination of Thomas Ford for
Sheriff is to be smashed by the Swal-
low-tail leaders. A part of the program
it is reported, is that Mr.. Mclaughlin,
the one-legged candidate, who is an
1rishman and Catholic, is to be made
the candiuate for Coroner, the extreme
ly moral and rcligiously liberal part of
the STallOw-tailS deeming his selection
10 be sufficiently strong deCortion Of
that element to hold the Irish Catho-
iic vote of the party. The other part Of
the program, rumor says, is that Mr..
Ford "mnst go" and that Mr. Oldham
a. 10 I've selected as the Sheritialty stand
ard bearer. Ifthis change is effected
il will hut carry out the past practice

In view ofthe difficulty Of holding
honest nominations by the popular vote
for County offices or tor any other
office, it is becoming evident that some
other plan should be adopted by which
nothing but an honest expression OF the
people can be obtained. We do not
know that such was the case, but the
general report to-day is that numbers
of repeaters voted last Saturday and
that an almost fabulous number OF
Democrats were permitted to vote. we
say again that we have no personal
knowledge that this report is true, but
if there is any truth in it, then it is
high time the party should adopt some
other method by which Republican
nominations should be made by Re
publicans alone. There can beno more
effectual mode Of breaking up the
Republican party than by permitting
hundreds of Democrats to vote at u Re
publican nomination.
We like the idea of popular ex-
preston of the people, but when the lte-
publicans hold nomination amongst
themselves for the purpose of choosing
their candidates. it stands to reason that
only Republicans should take part i'll
such nomination.
In New York city the Republican
party, to protect itself from Democrats
who wanted to vote at its primaries, ana
TO influence its actions, has been com
PEELED to adopt a registry system. All
Republicans who desire to take any
part in the primaries of their party are
required to register their names AT "a set
time, covering three or four days, some
months before such nominations are
held, and when the time comes 10 Re-
publicans can vote but those found
registered. This may seem like harsh
measure, but the Republicans Of New
York found it preferable to labor under
this disadvantage than to have tlleiE
elections influenced by Democratic
voters. We hope the time will not
come when the Republicans of Viii,
mington will be driven 10 adopt some
such measure for their protection The
only way TO avoid such result will bt
to hold Republican nominations by Re
publicans alone.

THE Methodist General Conference
after cogitating some days upon the
proposition to license women to preacl
and exhort, has refused them thai
privilege. The question caused con
siderable discussion, one member stat.
| ing that he came from the State Of Mas,
sachusetts, in which there are 60,OOC
more women than men, and theSt
women should have something more tc
do in the church. 1t does look As if the
proposition should have been adopted
when we consider that much of the
active and successful work OF the
church is already done by women. The
success Of the church is now dependent
on Sunday schools, in which women
have proved themselves the best work
ers, and it naturally follows that those
who impress the youth with religious
belief generally retain their hold upon
the mind even after many years OF
changes and ups and downs in life.
st. Paul's old fogy ideas in regard to
women may have suited him, and the
age in which he lived, but the christi
auity which Paul taught has illumi,
mated The world, and as the world be-
comes more intelligent and refined,
