commemorate the one hundredth birthday
of Sir Moses MOnttiOre, the great philan-

The directions given by the last Repub-
lican National Convention to the National
Committee to adopt suitable rules for car
rying into effect the new plan of electing
delegates to the Presidential Convention
bv Congressional districts, meets with
considerable opposition, especially in New
York and Pennsylvania. 1t seems that
the National Committee did not carry out
the idea in good faith, and there are suffi-
cient Ioopholes left to evade the plan pro-
posed. This may lead to some interest
ing complications by the election Of dou-
BILE sets of delegates from many districts.

A Washington special says that the
enemies of Fitz John Porter are not going
to give up the fight against him on the
final passage of the bill for his relief, but
will bring an immense pressure to bear
on President Arthur to prevent him from
appointing Porter to his old rank in the
army. 1t is said that the President will
be gwen to understand that on his action
in this matter depends his chance for sup
port in the Chicago Convention by the Re-
publicans of several important Western
States. Probably this issue will give the
country an opportunity to find out the
strength of the Presidents backbone.

Mr.. Snringer's Work.

Dir. Springer is not to be deferred from
prosecuting his inquiries into the
mysteries of the star route business by
the reply of the Postmaster General to the
demand for certain papers, that the pub
LEGATION of the evidence would defeat the
government in its effort to bring the de-
Iinquent star route contractors to justice.
Mr.. Springer concludes that it is neces-
sarv for his committee to know what the
evidence is that has been kept from the
public. and he has, therefore, appointed a
subcommittee to call on the Postmaster
General and scrutiniZe the documents
relating to star route matters pigeon
hoIed there. 1t may turn out that the
anxiety of the Postmaster General IS not
so much for the successful prosecution OF
those who, it is alleged, robbed the gov
eminent of millions Of dollars as to keep
from the public the names of number OF
men who rank high in the Republican
party, and who are believed to be impli-
Gated in the star route frauds. 1t is
remarkable fact that, although more
than two years have elapsed since the star
route frauds were made public, there has
not been single one of the alleged thieves
punished, and not a dollar of the alleged
stolt II millions recovered. In fact no ef-
fort has been made to recover the money,
and those who are charged with having
secured the greater part of the plumber
have never been molested by the govern
ment. Mr.. Springer is right in pressing
his investigation to the utmost limit. Let
him make bare the rOttenness OF this
whole star route business. Let the coun-
try see not only that part of it which re-
lates to those accused of plundering the
government, but also that part which re-
lates to the weak prosecution of few OF
the plunderers. Dir. Springer is in fair
way to furnish his party with some excel.
lent campaign material.

The New York Times indOrses the Nor
rison tariff bill. 1t says: cit is idle now
to talk of making the issue between free
trade Democracy and Republican protec-
ton. The Morrison bill is not free trade,
and opposition to it is not, in any decent
sense, the support of protection. The bill
is, in effect, a moderate and conservative
attempt to deal with the actual and press
ing needs of the business of the country.
BY treating it fairly and intelligently the
Republicans can serve the country with
no harm to their own party and no decid-
ed advantage t. their opponents. BY
blind adherence to the tariff as it is, ex-
orbitant and oppressive, partial and I'M
Just, they can do themselves great injury
and greatly help their opponents" The
Times is certainly the most influential
and widely circulated Republican paper
in this country, and its censure of the
course pursued by its party on the tariff
question is worthy of notice.

Aunt Mary ran out Jane followed

her babies in the rag-bag. The boys
thought she must be starved. Malta

said Fred, "for they have all left our

Then the ragman had to weigh tho
rags again without Malta and her ba-
bies, and Aunt Mary did not get two

The Voice rs an Instrument OF Music.

She who taught the nightingale to
sing, she whose early hymn the sweet
ark warbles to the morning, she who
nours forth the full melody from the
deep throat of the thrush, and gives
the little sparrow the pleasant, tho ar
'iculated harmony she also, when sho
gave to man a throat and breath,
taught him to modulate. This is the
work Of nature, in harmony to tho
avs of natures God. Thus far music
is her gift. None of the "sweet-tunci
instruments known to human inven'
ton equals the natural voice in sweet
ness; they are all harsh or they are
rough, when compared with the puro
tone, the mellow softness Of the throat.
What was the great praise of Martini,
but lha he made the hautboy emulate
the sound of the human voice? Nature
has given to man the first and finest
of all instruments in his own frame;
the ancients were employing their
time uselessly when they endesvored
to demonstrate in what country music
first saw its origin. 1t is, doubtless,
coeval with the human fabric, and
natural to all countries where men
have lived.-Chicdyo CurtenL
