A NORTHERN PARTY.

The Reason the Republicans Are "Sup-
pressed" in tho States of the South.
The season is already far enough ad-
vanced to make it clear that the Re-
publican party does not intend this
year to make any effort to extend itself
beyond the States in which it at present
exists. 1t is Northern party as dis:
tinguished from National party, and,
if one may Judge by appearances, it
proposes to remain such.
In the two Virginias, in North Caro-
lima, in Kentucky, in Tennessee, in Ar
kansas and in Texas the party is or
ganized and is doing good work to-
ward educating the whites as we'll as
the blacks up 70 the idea of political
controversy, but in the other Southern
States the party exists only in name,
end in most of them does not 60 to the
trouble even of making nominations.
Occupying this attitude, Republican,
ism must take one horn or the other of
the dilemma, whichls presented. Unjust
acknowledge that it is a sectional or
ganization or it must cease lamenting
the solidity of South which it makes
no effort to disrupt. 1t is most effect
ually estopped from making the time
worn allegation that intimidation has
driven the party out of existence, for
the fact that there is Republican par
ty in some States and none in others is
proof which can not be evaded that il
is not intimidation which leaves the
party without an organization in many
of the States.
With the case of Virginia, Tennes.

that where there is any disposition tc

it can be had. In Virginia, an ex

of action has been demonstrated by
the appearance of third. or farmers
party in the field.
These are facts going to show that
the reason why there is no Republican
party in certain of the Southern
States is because the leaders of that
organization at the North do not want
any there. The sectional idea is still
held in allegiance. In pinch it may
have to be used. 10 use it there must
be some States in which the party is
suppressed. - Chicago Herald.

HENRY /. BIOSSAT, Business Manager
MOTHER.

When life is young, and words are new,
SURPRISING every other,
The dearest word among the few
So softly lisped is mother.
And mothers eye, mirror bright,
Reflects our all of pleasure:
And ever to her watchful sight
Is brought our dearest treasure.
IT'S mother soothes the troubled heart
And speaks glad Tomorrow;
So checks the tear-drop Mt its start,
Aud lightens every sorrow.
But time rolls on, years come apace.
Behind is left sweet childhood,
And yet no dearer sound we trace
In city or in wildwood.
Whate'er our life, where'er we roam.
Her love forsakeS us never.
Bereft of her, the light of home
Is wrapped in cloud forever.
In childhood, youth. or later age,
IL sickness comes to grieye us,
We turn to her whose words assuage
And soothingiy relieve us.
All. MOI there never comes time
We need not her caressing
II gay or sad, in every cline,
We yearn still for her blessing.
So whether we are old or young,
From one age to another,
The sweetest word in every tongue
Remains unchanging, mother.

CHAPTER XIV.

Z, Thereafter the old lawyers eyes were
wont to light upon John Earring curi-
ously where the youth sat with his fine
head bent over his work, and often at
the end of one of these misty stares he
would nod his great grizzly Uranium
as if in Affirmative response to some in
ternal query. But whatever the color
of his cogitating, the decisions which
he seemed to arrive at were evidently
slow in hardening into action, for the
snow sparkled off and the year bios
somed again with the nebulous some
thing still uncrystalized.
With the advent of the leaves John
Earring began to make pilgrimages to
the veranda of Absalom Heater again,
and twice while there he had seen the
willowy Maun cantering her milk-white
pony down one of the many shady
roads that slashed the great woodland,
with its streams, meadows, fields and
farmsteads. Once, too, on Sabbath,
when rambling along an old lane,
where half-rotten rail fence zigzaged
forward under load of squirming
vines and poisoning briers, he stopped
and was listening to thrush's song,
when he saw Maun riding down the
main road and waving her whip to
some one that he could not see. Pres
entity, as he walked onward after that,
he came upon little isle of grass in a
swarm of hazels, and looking about
him saw the silent book-keeper sitting
upon fallen trunk with his head
bent down almost between his knees,
and a finger pressed on the arteries on
either side of his neck as if to stay the
blood from passing up into his brain.
John Earling turned aside and went
onward toward the town; for him the
sweetness of the wood, and the open
clearness of the sky, were blurred and
lost in The still picture of this human
beings hidden and unknown struggle.
On one of these midsummer days the
current of John Earrings life, which
was flowing evenly onward to his pre-
sentation at the bar in the autumn, sci
suddenly forward with a new feeling
1t came about by the thing taking
shape which through all the winter
and spring had lain uneasily in the old
lawyers mind, now starting into sub.
stance and now again dissolving, as j
he could not bear to view it in any

An Extravagant, Careless Public Printer
whose Friends Fattened from the Gov
ernment's Funds.
Some of these days there will be a
startling explosion of the way in which
ex-Public Printer Rounds managed to
squander the public money. Ink and
other supplies are now being pur-
chased for one-half or one-fourth the
sum Rounds paid for articles that were
inferior in quality to the new supplies.
Of $4,000 pounds of ink purchased dur.
ing the last year of Mr.. Rounds adj
ministration four-fifths of it cost from
81 to SIS per pound. Mr.. Benedict
does not pay over $1.50 per pound for
any ink now, and most of it he
buys for less. He invites com.
petition, and buys in the cheap
est and best market. MIR. Rounds
bought all his ink and some other
supplies from his brother-in-law in Chi
cago. Most of the supplies of various
kinds he obtained either from or
through his relatives and personal
friends. When new printing-presses
were wanted his son was made the UNI
necessary middleman through whom
they were purchased. Some way was
always found for friend to make a
commission, and much of the supplies
were wasted or destroyed by not being
properly kept. Printing-ink, for in
stance, which needed to be kept at a
moderate temperature, was exposed to
the weather when the thermometer
was at zero, SO thatit wasrendered use.
less Printers rollers, for which high
prices were paid, are in stock to-day
that never have been used and never
can be used. They are as hard as the
crust of a boys heel that has beer
barefooted all the year. The workmer
and foremen of Rounds time are still
there, and they readily admit all these
things WASHINGTON lost.

GETTING BACK THE HOMES.

The Republican Party Believed in Giving
Away the Land to Gre at Corporations,
and the Democratic Party Is Reclaim
ing It for the People.
1t was the Republican party which
inaugurated the wholesale giving away
of the homes of the people, in the vast
areas of good land added to our do
main by the Democratic party. 1t is
often said that the Democrats began the
policy, and the land given by the State
of Illinois to the Illinois Central has
been held up as frightful example.
But that was not gift. The consid-
Grafton was heavy annual tax which
has been and still is faithfully paid,
and the taxes thus saved to the people
have reimbursed them over and over
again for the original investment.
1t was the Republicans who inaug-
urated giving the lands directly to the
corporations in large slices and letting
them keep them whether they ever
built the roads or not The extent to
which this has been done has often
been made public, but it will be a long
time before the theme will grow old.
Here is brief list of afew of the worst

erably fair run made, considering the new
way for dumping.
| Quite number Of men have taken Their
time and left in the past week.
| In the last Two weeks many Of the sturdy
miners have manned the spade and fork and
| broke their own ground for their little gar
| dens.
| With the exception of the saw and ham,
| mer of the carpenters and the monkey
wrenches of the machinists, the hill was
quite still from Wednesday until Monday.
The running out of coal was the cause of
| only working three days last week. 1t was
| not on account of lack Of fats, as some
thought.
The first thunder shower Of this spring
| took place on Sunday.
Last Saturday night was the first time /
have noticed the Pilot Knob Brass Band at
p -actice for some time. Boys, you must
practice more, or you will lose your reputa-
| ton as the best.
The whistle on the Shaft was once deemed
a nuisance and taken off, and now the way
they monkey with il il sounds more like 1t is
| a freight train trying to sneak up on the
strikers, than 4 whistle of the gigantic Ore
and Steel Company to call its laborers to
work.
Cal Goodenough is making preparations
to start two diamond drills.
The company has made a switch at the
dump TO stack ore, in case there are no flats
TO load 1t On. The mines can now run
whether there are fats or not.
The system of the workings of this mine
is considerably different from the way it has
ever worked before. Capt. Searle will ship
mere ore with less handling and less cost
than has ever been shipped from this place.
The machine that was formerly intended
TO blow the FORCES, instead of the bellows, is
now TO be used to force fresh air down into
the numerous headings and Slopes in the
Shaft. The air has been very bad for some
time. Foreman Jim Willoughby is pushing
the work of LAYING the pipe.
The new appliances for moving and hand
ling the ore will do away with no men. 1t
is only calculated to handle greater guam
tity of ore @ith more ease, so it will not re-
quire a man with the strength and constitu-
ton of mule to do days work that will
be profitable to the company.
Our old friend and fellow workmpn, Bar
ney Murray, visited the mines last week,
He has been In Texas for some time.
There we're some visitors from Crystal
City Glass Works on the hill last week.
