-'Peccavi, l have Scinde."
For many ages these southern
mountain passes of Afghanistan had
been the gateway OF Indian invasion.
Alexander poured his Greek phalanxes
through the Dhy Der pass, and crossed
the Indus at Atteck, carrying his
spears aud banners to the banks of the
Hydaspes. Sultan Mahmond, of
Gnuzni, Zinghis, and Nadir Shah had
led their invading hosts through the
same tremendous gorges, and launch
ed them upon the defenseless valleys
beyond. More than eight hundred
years before Gen Pollock lifted the
restored English coiors on the Bala
Hissar. Eagle Mahmond, swoeping
from frem his rock eyrie, had carried
away to that inaccessible fastness the
Gates of Somnsth, shrine of the
Hindoo god silva, on the shores of the
Arabian sea, and one of the most sa-
cred and venerated temples of Hin
dostan. The gates were of carved
SaBdalwood, and were the wonders of
all the east. Such wall arose along
the peninsula at these spoliations as
might arise throughout Christendom

]. Randall spoke about the Administers
ton, and gave it great praise. We are
glad of this, because the Administration
is worthy of endorsement; and the out
spoken endorsement of man of Ran
dall's prominence in the party will do
much to quiet the murmurs of some mem
bers of the party. He referred to the
charges against the Democratic parry, and
told how it had been said that if
the party were to come into power it
would tear down in place of building up.
These charges have proven false, and
everything that has been done has been
done to build up and not to pull down.
He said that Grover Cleveland had been
called slow, but that he is building up the
party in strong and firm manner, and
that the thing for the party to do is to
wait patiently and that they would see
Cleveland accomplish the work which the
Republican party had promised for years,
but could never do. This speech of Ran
dall's will serve very well for a guide to
indicate the manner in which Cleveland s
work will be received by the Democrats in
Congress, for Randall is a leader there.
No doubt the people do endorse the Ad-
ministration, but SO long have politics
been run by bosses that the mind of the
people has not been known in politics.
The great discomfort that is said to exist
in the Democratic party on account of
methods OF the Administration have gem
orally been reported through Republican
papers. When the party gives its final
decision on the Administration, that de-
cision will be for it and not against it.

several years past the Chinese have been
fiocklng to Augusta in considerable num-
bers, and have adopted the advocations
usual with Cinnamon in this country.
The anti-Chinese virtue of Augusta seems
to have been aroused from reading the
accounts of the anti-Chinese agitation in

particular dislike to the Chinese there.
In the West it is said that the Chinese

THE COMMISSIONS REPORT.

The Utah Commission have made their
report to the Secretary of the Interior
The telegraph does not say much about
it, but it says one very important thing
1t says it is now only matter of time
when polygamy will become extinct, and
this must be patent to every observer.
We are especially pleased to see that the
Commission have recommended con-
tinuation of the policy now being
pursued, and not the introduction
of any radical policy. The policy
now being pursued is to abol-
ish a system of marriage which
is inconsistent with modern civilization
by an enforcement of the ordinary
laws made for the protection of society.
That there are needed some additional
laws is true, but those laws if they shall
be passed should be administered as Or
dinary laws are, and not by the institu-
ton of an extraordinary method. The
use of extraordinary methods destroys to
very great extent the moral force of
laws, and it is the moral force of the law
upon which society must rely for its pro-
lection. Ii an active and armed oppo-
sitlon to the law is made, then, of course,
it becomes necessary that society shall
repel such opposition by force. That
opposition does not exist in Utah,
although there is a very widespread vio-
lation of particular law, but the opposi-
ton to it is evasive rather than active.
These violations must be punished, but
they should be punished in the ordinary
way, as all crimes are punished. This is
what the Utah Commission recommend
If we interpret their recommendation
Alright. The employment of an unusual
method for the suppression of crime,
will usually create sympathy for those
who commit the crime sought to be sup
pressed which they would not otherwise
receive. The dislike of the method
gives an indulgence to the crime.
Government itself is but a method
OF controlling and regulating the
common affairs OF men, and the
more constant the method adopted the
more permanent is the government. 1t
is this constancy and adherence to its
method that has made the English Gov
ernment what it is, and has made it the
model OF all representative governments.
The American Government has all the
principles and methods of free govern
ment, and to much greater extent than
any other government ever had, but the
danger to these principles lies in radical
ism rather than in conservatism. The
Utah Commissioners have declared in
favor of conservatism and against radi-
calism, and for this we are glad.

Since the above was written, the DEMO
Graf has received special telegram from
Washington which entirely changes the
complexion of their report. Some of the
recommendations are good, and should
be favorably considered, while of the
propriety of others we are not so certain.
II will be impossible to fully Judge of the
merit OF the report until it shall have
been given to the public in full, and
when this is done we shall refer to it
again; perhaps sooner.

Resolution of Character

Every one, no matter what his position in
life may be, ought to have some particular
goal in view, towards which he should ever
be striving. Withouta definite aim or purpose,
a man may never be able to rise above the
dead level ofmediocracy. He will be list
less in what he undertakes; he will neglect
the study of details he will, so to speak,
attempt to build house without laying a
foundation, the inevitable result of which
will be that his edifice will fall to the
ground with crash. He will, fora time,
adopt one pursuit after another, with the
overweening confidence of Micawber, and
work by fits and starts, with feverish energy
but finding that success does not quickly
follow, he will lose heart, and sulleney re.
sign himself to purposeless existence,
foolishly casting the blame on fortune,
while all but himself can clearly see that he
alone is in fault.
What contrast does man of the oppo-
site character present. He has set before
his eyes a clearly defined object. He is re-
solved, for example, to attain the highest
possible eminence in his profession: and, to
that end, he steady labors, day after day,
year after year. All his efforts are concen-
trated on that one object. With never
wearying perseverance be treads the only
path that eau lead to the fruition of his
hopes. "Make haste slowly" is his motto.
He is fully persuaded that in order to attain
the height ofhis ambition, straight, un-
deviating course must be followed. He
does not strive spasmodically, for he knows
that by gentle and gradual progress he is
more likely to succeed in the end than
Others are by violence and impetuosity.

footfalls across the floor, plying her daily
tasks.
Upon the little white-draped cot in the
kitchen bed room lay Jessie, with her poor
face thinned almost to shadow by wasting
fever.
dreamy quiet she lay counting the crimson
leaves upon the woodbne over the window,
listening to the cricket's chirping under the
door stone, and the sound of the dropping
nuts In the forest, and then with sudden
rush of memory came the recollection of
the events of that terrible night.
"Mother, mother, come and tell me
Have they found the murderer"
Scan you bear it, Jessie if tell you alp"
and the poor woman looked with yearning
pity upon the worn, tired, little face before
her.
"Anything is better than suspense,
mother" and SO in trembling tones the
poor woman told her all.
'They have taken him up for the murder,
you know-John Brace, | mean-fer they
found him in the room with the dead man,
and his jack knife was on the floor covered
with blood, and they do say the two have
had good many hard words of late.
John was wanting more pay, and Morgan
wouldn't give it to him, and they are both
high tempered, you know. The trial comes
off next week, and you'll have-to be wit
ness" And the garrulous old mother ex-
plated at length upon the particulars of the
horrd tragedy, but Jessie heard her.
What! John Brace to be tried for inur-
der Her John whose brown coarse hand
she had held so often in her own in the olden
time, and whose honest eyes had again and
again looked down in hers, with the light of
a noble tenderness shining in them.
Tried for iifeP 1t must not should not be
as she remembered with thrill of satisfac-
tion that her testimony would save him, for
she saw him come in from the street be-
fore she had reached the foot of the stairs2
And then came another thought chilling
to the heart. She did not hear him speak
after all, and she had only said, Thank
God, you are here, John Brace when they
went into the Office ogether-perhaps it was
all mistake, he might be the murderer
and then away down in the depth of her
heart Jessie realized the length and depth OF
her love for poor Jonn Brace, and all in her
misery her soul sent forth one plaintive cry
ooh, God, pity me! Oh, God, pity mel'
''Though walk the valley of the shadow
of DEATH thy rod and thy staff they comfort
me-" At last these blessed words of comfort
came floating in upon her poor confused
brain like the low, sweet notes of cradle
hymn, and wholly exhausted she sank into
troubled slumber.
A week later John Brace was tried foi
manslaughter, convicted and sentenced tc
the State prison for life, for though Jessie's
written testimony was read in Court il
proved of no avail against the powerful cir
cumstantial evidence against him.
For weeks the stricken girl hovered very
near the gates of death, but they were
closed against her, and at last she gathered
up her strength and turned her feet agar
into life's busy paths. Sanctified through
| suffering. That was the story her pale
sweet face told, as she took up her burder
again, and with cheerful patience toiled on

The Flirting Girl,

1t may be set down as an absolute truth
that when respectable young man desires
the acquaintance of one who may some day
be his wife, he does not go out on the street
and seek to make that acquaintance by fir
tation; in direct opposition, such a one he
would not marry under any circumstances.
The flirting girl should bear in mind that
she is by-word among those with whom
she fiirts and that the prolonged indulgence
of her folly will but serve to fasten stigma
upon her name which will long outlast her
years of indiscretion, and will cause her to
be Stunned by Wife-seeking young men
through knowledge of her former reputa-
tion.
