ter, "there is one king he ne'er will conquer; ay, neer SO much as come in sight of his great glory-the king of heaven, Sandyi"
 Glad of any excuse for delay in his dubi- ous mission, Sandy at once returned with this sad news to the king, who nearly expired with rage at such defiant and i'll timed au- dacity. Wild with indignation he roared:
 "Go ye, Sandy, wi mickle speed till thus oopstart kung O huv'n, an bid him beware O my wroth. Eff he dinna the minute lay doom his crown at my fut, I'll pull him, col lar an breek, frae his ain thrsnI'
 Departing, he again met the priest, to whom he related in great fright the kings awful threat.
 "Tell thy master" said the priest, s'he can have both the king of heaven and heaY- on itself for the asking"
 Radiantly Sandy sped to the king with these wonderful tidings; and wild and joy ous shout went up within the great hall of the castle at the announcement of this blood less victory. It quite upset the brave old king, who, instantly appeased and softened, gave his minister these gracious commands:
 "Go ye, Sandy, vii mickle speed till thus king O huv'n. Bid him rest f peace; r mickle peace, Sandy. Tull him tn Kung O Scotland warrants him fore'cr his guid thran. O, ay, Sandyl-an' thot for his unco cevelity, nae Scot shall e'er put fut r his kungdomn A hullabuloo without now arrested our at- tention. seThe byes" had planned great surprise. Sallying forth when the tales and songs were at their height, they had descend ed upon another Halloween party few miles distant, and by main force had captured and brought fiddler bodily away; the whole crowd of defeated friendly rivals following after in prideful exclamation. And here they came with wild whoop and hurroo, car- rying their prize on their shoulders into the great room, where the procession was re- ceived with ringing cheers. It was old Billy Drain, the blind fiddler, all the way from Belfast; hero now above all pedagogues and strangers; hatless, coatless, breathless from the odd melee, but with pursed and smiling mouth and positive radiance shining from his white locks and beaming from his blink ing upraised and sightless old eyes. Was there dance this Halloween night at that farm house on the ancient KiImacrenan road? Ask the rafters of oak that shivered cen tury's splinters and mould upon the vaulting heads and heels of this big hearted Irish psasantry. And ask the stars that looked softly down until their shining eyes went out in the brighter dawn which lifted flaming cones upon the peaks of fair Glendowan.

SOME SOUTHERN VIEWS.

The South is naturally considerably stirred up by the election of General Harrison. And there are some wild ideas which find utter ance. For instance, the Birmingham (Ala- bama) Age-Herald is very much concerned over "what the Republican administration is going to do about the negro question" It says. among other things: The average north ern Republican looks with natural hostility on the southern whites, and thinks the Afri- canizing of this section the chief object of his party's mission. Stringent election laws for the South are apt to be proposed in the Fifty first congress, if not passed, and con- gressionsl investigations in a number of southern elections will, no doubt, be order ed. We will be lucky if we escape without civil rights laws intended to compel social privileges for the negro.
 Such stuff as this finds not little favor in the South, but all the people of that region do not swallow it. fWithin the next four years, predicts General W. N. Taft, ex- postmaster of Charleston, South Carolina, s'the policy of the Republican party will be so favorable to all sections of the country that the good will of the better class of the business people of the South will be naturally drawn toward the Republican par ty. know that the southern people have nothing whatever to fear, but every reason to be encouraged by General Harrison's public record" Ex-Governor Rufus B. Bullock of Georgia talks in the same way. He sees in the election of General Harrison the greatest piece of good fortune that has befal1en the South since the abolition of slavery. He halls in it the assurance of speedy doubling and quadrupling of southern industries. As to the matter of federal appointments in the southern States, he tells an Atlanta Consti- tuition reporter: It is only fair to suppose that he will seek the best men in the sections where appointees are needed. Of one thing we may be certain, and that it, that he is under no political obligations to the organiz- ations branded Republican in the South, and about which our people are justly alarmed. Outside of Virginia and North Carolina those organizations are numerically controlled by negroes who are not always the best of their race. These organizations are always an ex- ouss for the foolish attitude that most of our white people assume with regard to race issue. But General Harrison is not indebted to them for votes in the nominating conven- tion at Chicago. He was nominated by the delegates representing the best clements of society in the free States, and is the type of candidate around whom that class of people everywhere should rally. for safety against the power of vice and ignorance. It we judge by his record and his words he has only good will towards every section of his country. He was brave and gallant fed eral soldier who saw much ot actual service and hard fighting, and we have never yet found one of that class who had any bitter ness in his heart for our section. There will be nothing for our section to complain of in the coming admipistrstion unless we bring it upon ourselves by kicking against the fn- AvitabIe

puts it: The question ought to be deter mined as promptly as possible, becouse mill lions of dollars in capital and the prosperity of thousands upon thousands of American laborers in the field of industry are involved therein. If the law is to be finally con strued as the agents of Democratic admin istration bent on forcing free trade on the country have construed it, that capital and those laboreTs must find employment in oth- CT fields if they can; for certainly they can- not maintain themselves in that in a mar ket flooded with the product of Europe's cheap labor when the barrier of the tariff is broken down. Should the Supreme court de- eide in favor of the importers, it will then be in order for Congress to amend the law in accordance wiih the principle of protection to American industries just proclaimed by the election as the choice of the people. Mean- time, it is the absolute duty of the govern ment to heed the popular decision and to in- sist on the payment of duties on these goods, as the congress which passed the technically defective law intended.

The Mormons in Idaho are smart, but not quite smsrt enough. The law of the territory is that no Mormon shall vote. It was diseov- eered some weeks ago that the Mormons were sending in letters withdrawing from the church. The bishop would promptly note his acceptance upon these documents, which became evidence of the hoIders' qualification as voters. The device, however, did not pre- vail, The Mormous were outyoted.

A Friendly warning.


 To the Editor of the JOURNAL. AND COURIER:
 I wish, through your columns, to warn all pedestrians who may have occasion to cross the railroad bridge on Temple street, between Grove and Trumbull streets, to avoid the foot crossing on the west side, as it has become dangerous from decay of the planking.
 I wish also to caution all drivers of vehicles of whatever sort, to avoid that part of Temple street north of the bridge, as they may be obliged to call for assistance in extricating themselves from the mud. Indeed, after 8 rain there is even danger of their disappear ing altogether in the slough. It is needless to remark that this mud hole, "miscalled @ street," is disgrace to the city. w.

The Philadelphia Record says that there is a possibility that no liquor licenses will be issued in Pennsylvania in 1889. If the legis- lature acts as promptly upon the prohibition amendment to the constitution at the coming session as it did in 1887 the question of pro- hibition will be decided at the polls before the time for the issuing ot liquor licenses next spring, and consequently if the amend ment be adopted no licenses will be granted.

Henry Sheridan died. lie began to
grow worse in the afternoon and grad
uallv sank. His illness, valvular dis
ease Of the heart, developed in May

SKETCH OF HIS CAREER.
General Philip Henry Sheridan was
born March 9th, 1881. He graduated
at West Point in 1858, served in Texas

til May Is, 1861, when he was made
captain Of the Thirteenth Infantry,

the Army of Southwestern Missouri,
and subsequently quartermaster to Gen
Halleck in the Mississippi campaign Of
the spring Of 1862. On May 25, 1862,
he was made colonel of the Second
Michigan Volunteer Cavalry, and took
part in the pursuit of the Confederates
from Corinth, May 80, to June 10, and

Many shrewd politicians think that
the Senate of the Flfty-frst Congress
will be a tie, and that the Vice Presi-

deciding vote.

had quite wranglc on Friday on the
subject of Canadian railroads. Mr..
German twittcd Mr.. Edmunds with be-
ing the attorney for railroads whose IN

Senator.
One Of the signs of the times is the
alacrity with which any sort of rcsolu-
ton for investigating Canadian en-
croachments, or alleged encroach-
mcnts, on our rights, is passed by Con-
gross. Mr.. Cullom's resolution in re.
latlon to the Canadian Pacific railroad
went through the Senate Friday with IL
rush, although opposed by Influential
Senators Of both parties. The "d"n't
tread on me" feeling Is rapidly spread
in this country, and it bodies i'll for
somebody.
The Senate tariff bill has not yet
been reported, and no one seems able
to say just when it will be, though
some republican Senators have set the
goth inst rs the date.

Opposition to MIR. Me-
COlnaS.

If the Republicans Of the Sixth Con-
gressional district of this State should
be governed by the argument that is
being used against the denomination OF
Hon. Louis E. McComas for Congress,
they deserve to be beaten at the polls
and we believe Will be.
The argument that we refer to is that
wherein the claim is set up that III
Western Maryland there is an nnwrit-
ten law against electing congressman
for more than two terms. In the first
place the usages born of political aspl-
rants do not attain to the dignity of a
law expressing the popular will or sem
timent, either written or unwritten
that is to say, the office of congressman
has not been erected for the benefit of
le il lmbcnt, but for the benefit Of
the people and the desires and ambl-
tons Of politicians are not factors in
any proper estimate of either the priv
ileges or requirements of that office.
The argument Is based upon the most
palpable fallacies, that the Office has
been erected for the aograndizemcnt
of individuals, to further individual
political aspirations and for honor and
emolument.
That is sheer nonsense, but when
clothed in false disguise may be made
effective DYSON such taking question as
"What Is the party so badly off for
brains that only A. B. can be found in
all the district to represent it p
Such questions have their effect but
even then the answer "No' proves
nothing and the inference is unfair.
Ability, experience and energy is
what is needed and the first and last
of the above qualifications are not more
essential than the second.
Mr.. McComas is emirently able and
energetic and his six years experience
should strengthen rather than weaken
him with the thinking men of his par
ty.
In this matter, the politicians will
take back seat III tile onvcntion,
or the party should take back seat in
November.
