Straightouts were cheek by jOwl with the
Bourbons in their vindictive and desperate
work. 1t was Straightout influence and
votes which again placed the State under
the Bourbon yoke, prostituted legislation
to the vilest and most corrupt purposes,
violated the Constitution of the State,
virtually abolished the Executive branch
of the government and established a po-
litical oligarchy in Virginia, such as never
before outraged and disgraced Common
wealth. ta
So far as the contesting delegations may
affect the fortunes of candidates for NOM
ination before the Chicago Convention,
that will have very little to do with the de-
cision of the Committee On Credentials OF
the action of the Convention on the report
of that Committee. We are very sure
that no one man will have strength enough
to decide that contest, and hence it will
come up on it's merits. The one delega-
tion will stand before the Convention with
a record of facts and deeds behind it to
command the approval of every Republic
can in that body who cares for Republican
success in the South and who believes in
the enforcement of the laws and the pro-
lection of the rights Of the people. 1t
will stand there with 100000 to 10000
votes to sustain it. 1t will stand there
with a consistent Republican record of
two United States Senators and four Rep
in Congress in it's favor. It
will stand there as the only representative
of the only political force that gives prom

ore is accumulating on the dump piles awaiting

The Lexington has declared another dividend
of $lS5 900, making s525OoO in dividends paid

to be an inducement to French capital to invest

The Swansea continues to uncover very high

More miners, top men and mill men are en-
ployed in Butte, and they receive higher wages,
than in any other camp In the United States:
Sinking is progressing at the Mountain View,

Baltimore for reduction.
The Montana Copper company are working

The Chill'S Point of View.

To correct children for trihing Of
fenses continually, at home or in
school, has bad effect. It is confusing
to the child, and does not tend to de-
velop or to cultivate the moral sense.
1t tends to make distinctions between
right and wrong which do not exist,
and for this very reason weakens real
ones. 1t is surprising to see how early
children begin to look into the hidden
things of metaphysics. "Is it really
wrong, mamma" little boy said the
other day, ''or only against the law?"
The astonished mother questioned the
child, found that some one had told
him stories OF the fugitive slaves, and
of the laws of their time, and he had,
with the passion for generalizing which
many children have, applied his knowl
edge to the circumstances and events
occurring around him. To be perfect
ly honest with children, and at the
same time to cultivate power to pass
by their small transgressions, which
are often committed without premedi.
tation, is sometimes we'll for both moth
er and teacher. 1t is only necessary to
think ourselves back to childhood to
understand how different the child's
point of view is from that of the older
person, and to do this occasionally
would be helpful to most parents.
