from place to place, always taking her
along. Lord Hampton, not wishing to be
far from her, fOllowed-so you see why he
never remained long in London, or any

A REM0NSTRANCE.


A petition is in circulation among Re
publicans for the postponement of the
Republican County Convention until after
the State Convention shall have been held
This, we assume, is based on the plea for
a short county campaign, but it carries
with it, of necessity, the appointment by
the County Committee of delegates to the
State Convention. A brief campaign is
most desirable 1t is better for candidates
and for the people. But it does not follow
that the people should be ignored in the
selection of delegates to the State Conven-
ton. We appeal to Republicans can you
not be trusted to select your own represent
atiyes? What need is there for depriving
you of this inestimable right? The County
Convention, which must be selected by
precinct primaries, ought to be a body rep
resentative of your wishes, and it is the
proper body to select delegates to repre-
sent you in the State Convention. When
it shall have assembled and discharged that
high duty it can adjourn until later date
to nominate county officers. But if there
is objection to this, that it will expose the

THE CASE OF NELLIE BARRY.

Little Nellie Barry, of Cambridge, is a
heroine-of the stuff of which martyrs are
made. The instinct of preservation
the strongest of all-was by her subverted
to duty doing in way to stand as an ex-
ample to all men and women. She is not
yet IL years of age. By the death of her
mother three months ago she became
I" the head of the family" Grave response
bility was prematurely thrust upon her
youthful judgment. She has four small
brothers to care for, while her shiftless
father is mostly away from home. One
night recently she got her little charges
safely to bed, and, worn with hard labor,
she had herself retired But she could
not sleep. As she put it, q | felt in my
heart that something dreadful was going
to happen" Was this premonition, or the
pressure of a deep sense of the grave re-
sponsibility resting upon her shoulders?
Be this as it may, she resolutely fought
off, the desire for sleep, and lay waking
and watching. Presently there came a
cry from one of the little ones. The house
was on fire. She did what many an adult
of mature judgment would not have done
she sprang up and began in the midst of
smoke and flame the rescue Of her charges,
and that at imminent peril to her life. The
children were terribly frightened and frus-
trated her efforts. As the smoke and
flames rolled in she took the youngest in
her arms and carried him struggling out,
She returned; the fire was terribly hot
but she felt that she must go into the
room. She CROPPED through the smoke
and found the second child, and carried
him out. Again she returned, and the
eldest boy, encouraged by her acts, came to
her aid, and the two rolled the third child
in sheet and carried him out also But
the flames scorched their cheeks and bis
tered their arms and set fire to their cloth
ing, and as they fled the house the steps

was courage, presence of mind, decision,
cool Judgment in a child of II, rare to find
in such one, and not always met with in
adults Yet this brave little girl and her
still smaller charges, having now not even
a miserable roof to call home, have been
sent to the poor house. Cannot generous,
courage-loving Boston and Cambridge do
better than this? Had man rescued a
human being from drowning in Boston
harbor, the Society for the Encourage
ment of Life Saving would have voted
him gold medal. But not even the price
of it was given to Nellie Barry to buy
bread for her little family-she and they
were sent to the poor-house for it. Such a
girl as Nellie Barry, distinguished by such
splendid traits of character, would prove a
treasure to some home where there are no
children to bless it. The poor-house is
i'll reward for such heroine, and Nellie
in the pauper's home is reproach to
Boston.

delegates to long siege of button-holing,
then better a long campaign than that the
State delegates be appointed. The success
of the Republican party we have at heart.
Success in political life is best attained,
and of the most substantial character,
when it is the result of unity of action.
To secure unity let all the machinery of
the party be directed to bringing the man
agement as near as possible to the people
of the party. By this method we shall
interest voters more directly and deeply
in the party and its ambitions. Since such
petition as we have named is in circu-
lation, let the County Committee await a
protest. Fair play is a jewel, and one
highly priced by Republicans.
We believe we reflect the unreserved
sentiment of the mass of the Republican
voters when, in their behalf, we file this re-
monstrance. If there is any Republican
candidate for a State office who fears to
u'ltN WV UCNioiui VI INT DNOpiC VI wv
party, discretion should advise him to get
out of the way.
The purely representative system is
growing in favor, and even the Democracy,
which so rarely sticks at methods when
ends are in view, thus speaks by one of its
foremost champions. Says the Ito of yes
terday
A delegation to the Democratic State Conven-
ton has been appointed, manufactured, set up
and commissioned by the County Committee of
FL Dorado county. This action should not stand
in that county, and its example should be repu-
dated elsewhere. 1t was such stuihng of Il
Convention roll by committees that began for
mer troubles in the party in this State and that
method became so deteStable that the last State
Convention, by resolution, declared the prac-
tlce to be undemocratic. We do not see how,
under that declaration, this irregular delegation
from FL Dorado can be admitted to the next
Convention. As the party has denounced such
method Of appointment as undemOcratic, and
the coming Convention is to be Democratic
such delegation has no more right i'll il than
has the Republican delegation from FL Dorado

ENGLISH INVESTMENT COMPANIES IN
THE UNITED STATES.

Consul Wood of Dundee, makes an
interesting report to the State Department
of English corporations doing business in
the United States, which have their chief
Offices in Dundee and in the north and
east Of Scotland He supplements it with
a list of all companies of the United
Kingdom having their field of operations
in the United States, SO far as such list is
obtaiuable. 1t Is probable that bat few in
this country have any correct idea OF the
extent Of this alien investment IN our own
land Taking the north and east Scottish
companies, and they embrace two classes
trust, investment, mortgage and land COM
panies; and cattle and land companies.
The first class extend their business into
every State in the Union, but the main
field is in the West and Northwest OF
the first class, five corporations have their
offices in Dundee, and of the second class,
three. They are all of recent origin, the
oldest not dating later than 1879 This
company has a share issue of $4,000
The investments in these Dundee compa-
mics exceed those in the Glasgow and
Edinburgh companies, when the greater
wealth and population of the latter places
are taken into account. The profits in the
investments have mostly won reward,
and the average dividends have been per
cent. ON a capital of e1,l00,000. One
company pays as high as 10 per cent, and
has accumulated already reserve fund of
nearly So per share. While the sub
scribed capital is as stated, the paid-up
capital is but 81, 100000, or, with debent-
ures included, 92,000,00O The trust, in
vestment and mortgage companies are con-
cerned mainly with Investments in land,
railway and municipal securities, and the
cattle and land companies chiefly with in
vestments in cattle, ranches and the rails
ing and selling of cattle.
Some of the investment and mortgage
companies confine their business almost
wholly to safe interest-bearing railway and
municipal securities, and in general these
investments have been made with great
foresight and prudence.
The Edinburgh companies are eleven
and the Glasgow companies three in num-
Der, with about s5,OOO,OOO investments, in
Guiding companies elsewhere in the United
Kingdom. The particulars of the business
of eight of the largest companies are ag-
gregated and make the following show

a PROPOSITION will comeI.before the
National Encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic, soon to assemble in San
Francisco, to favor the organization known
as "Sons of Veterans" This society is
Intended to take the place of the Grand
Army as its members yield to the iner-
orable law of nature. 1t is said that the
proposition will meet with warm disfavor,
and it is added that the sentiment has
been and now is not to encourage such per-
petuation, but as the old soldiers die to
let the :. Grand Army" expire with them.
If it may be permitted of outsiders" to
express opinions on the question, we
should say that the latter resolution is the
better one. There can be no successful
perpetuation of the Grand Army organiza-
ton. 1t viii hold warmer place in the
