Mr.. Robert Louis Stevenson, in his arti-
Gle in Scribner's Magazine for March,
writes on the subject Of "Beggars.' 1t is
an essay delightful in style and full of sug-
gestive ideas. He tells therein the story of
two beggars-a soldier and tramp, and
ends with some views of his own on charity.
"There is a true poverty" Mr.. Steven
son says, (which no one sees. The true
poverty does not 30 into the streets; the
banker may rest assured he has never put
penny in its hand. The self-respecting
poor beg from each other; never from the
rich" Mr.. Stevenson goes on to say that
it is only the poor who are asked to give,
and those who know anything of the pc
culiarities Of human nature know how true
this is. There is not a poor man within
ten miles of Jay Gould or the Astors but
gives to the needy twice ten times as much
as these millionaires; and where the Van
derbilts are solicited once for aims, their
poor employees are solicited thousand
times.
II is the poor who work deeds of real
charity; they respond to solicitations, and
a charity that is unsolicited lacks the ele-

now His AnpeaI Was Answered..

The other day, pioneer in a Texas court
pleaded guilty in forgery case, and was
sentenced for two years.
The unfortunate wretch sent a note to the
judge, begging him to keep his name out of
the papers, as his mother was very old and
in poor health, and lie feared that the news
of his disgrace would kill her.
When the judge read the note he was
yisbly affected. There was something so
pathetic in the incident that it was at once
made public, and the enterprising CORES
pondents, who telegraphcd the matter to
their newspapers, took the pains to give the
mans name in full. They even gave his
former place Of residence in western state,
so that his sick old mother could hardly fail
TO escape the shock which the publication
was certain tc give her.
day or two later, a half paralyzed old
woman sat in her cottage in a little town in
Illinois, reading newspaper. Suddenly
she gave a low cry Of agony, and pressed her
hand tc her heart. The anxious nurse
rushed to her side, bat it was too late. The
conyict's mother was dead.

The observation-disclosures.

The St. Paul Globe, one of the best and
most representative dailies of the west, is
OF the opinion that it is "a remote possibili-
ty'' that the democratic convention will
look to the south for its nominee for the
vice-presidency, in which contingency it
would choose Governor Gordon, of Georgia,
Governor Lee, of Virginia, or Speaker Car
Isle, of Kentucky. But" the Globe says,
at is safe to assume that the candidate for
ice-presidency on the democratic ticket
will be a western man."
As the democracy has already settled the
question of its presidential nomination in its
general demand that Mr.. Cleveland shall be
chosen his own successor, its energies will
be eXerted to choose an available man for
the second place, while the republican par
ty will from now until it's convention meets
be stirred to its very depths in the struggle
OF its numerous candidates for both of its
nominations. There are contending ele-
ments in that party which seriously threat
ems the harmony of its organization. Mr..
Blaine has nominally withdrawn, but his
following will make itself heard in the
councils of the party, and will create dis
Mr.. Blaine. While the democratic party
differs as to the policy to be adopted on GER
tain questions, the difference is purely
family matter, as it were, and the whole
party is united in the support of President
Cleveland for reelection, and in its earnest
ness to bring about another national Veto
ry, which is certain to be the result Of the
approaching campaign. All tariff differ
ences will be harm onized and the democrat
ic ticket, headed by Mr. Cleveland, will re-
ceive an unheard-of popular majority, and
will be elected by such decisive vote that
there will be no question as to the hearth
ness of the Endorsement which the people
will give the party which has brought about
reform in the administration of national af-
fairs. A fight for an honest administration
is, after all, the chief issue, and on this line
the republicans cannot claim the confidence
of the country.
AS to the democratic nominee for the
vice-presidency, the south will support with
all the earnestness possible the man whom it
thinks to be the most available from what
ever section he may come. As the Globe
says, the probability is that he must be
taken from the west. We should delight to
see our own Governor Gordon on the ma
tional ticket, and it will not be long before
he or some other like him from the south,
and there are few such, will be called by the
national party. Sectonalism will no longer
be considered as a factor in shaping the
course Of national affairs, and the whole
country is 20 be congratulated that it is So

PURITY IN POLITICS.

The expose of the DEMOCRAT of the rottenness of local democraticp politics and of the selfishness of some of the alleged leaders of the party has touched popular chord. The numerous friendly calls ten dered to this office last night by old line democrats from the fourth ward who have been bamboozled by Connolly and his friends for several years is all the proof needed that his reign is almost at an end Said one indignant tax payer, whose name can be produced if necessary: 'I have been a democrat and a voter in the town for six teen years, but had made up my mind to vote the republican ticket this fall. Your paper is on the right track and will make five friends to one enemy by it's fearless course" Another expressed surprise that Timothy O'Rourke should be affiliated with such class of schemers. Still another left a deposit ot the office and requested that the DEMOCRAT be sent for trial to a certain party who had never read it. All were imbued with the determination to fight for the right even at the loss of a few votes.

WHEN LISA s,nes-A PASTORAL.

 When Lisa sings the love birds cease their song. With greedy joy they drink in every note, And nearer to her bower they gladly throng, To learn the sweetness of her magic throatl Such harmony from heaven she must have ! stolen,
 For angels listen as her trillings skyward float. When Lisa sings the zephyrs, 'rapsnred, sigh, The roses blush with conscious happiness; The echoes pause, not daring to reply, The brook stands still, her witchery to con-
 fess,
 And all the world Is hushed as her soft warb-
 hngs rise,
 Forgetting life is life the singers soul to bless When Lisa sings! unto my ravtshed ear Each luscious note unfolds love,s golden tale; With thrilling pulse, made bold with mine own
 fear,
 breathe the love no longer can veil; And melody unpent, of sweetest heart joy born, Swells in each throbbing breast as dreamland
 way sail s. J. Adair Fitz Gerald.

WE see no reason why at least two of the fire horses could not be used for work upon the streets. When the council had the matter of buying the horses under con- sideration it was generally understood that they could be made self-sustaining by being worked upon the streets. As Com missioner Kelly says, if the horses are not put to work they were secured under false pretences. The record of fires in this city, especially day fires, during the past ten years will not warrant the keeping of six horses standing idle in the engine houses

SENATOR GoRMAN and William H. Bar mum had a talk with President Cleveland yesterday on the subject of selecting a chairman of the executive committee of the national democratic committee. MT Cal win s. Brice has determined definitely that he cannot undertake to fill the place, and Senator German has also absolutely de clined. Several names were discussed, among them that of William A. Wallace of Pennsylvania. MT Wallace spends much of his time in New York, and it is thought he might be able to give close supervision to the work. The matter of the chairman ship will not be definitely determined be- fore next Monday or Tuesday. It is the general understanding that the three men who will have the most to do with the campaign will be Messrs Scott, German and Brice. All of the gentlemen have bus mess interests that will prevent their con- stant presence at headquarters and hence some other chairman will have to be cho- sen, but the conduct of the canvas will be in their experienced hands. It may be said once for all that there is no rivalry be- tween Messrs Scott and German. They are working together in entire harmony in all matters pertaining to the committee and it's work. MT Barnum has gone to Huntington, W. Va, where he has busi- ness interests.

A WRITER in the North American Re view for July argues at length for a "Chinese wall" tariff as a blessing to a country. Among his illustrations he speaks of the prosperity of this nation under the war tariff, as writers of his class always do, instead of referring to our progress despite that burden of taxation. Another illustration he uses is the fact that the Chinese empire has maintained national unity longer than any other power in the world He holds China up as model of what may be expected with prohibitery tariff.
