The vast amount of political rubbish which has been removed during our democratic administration has left q calm and placid surface in it's wake, and the people are blessed with com narative peace. The danger with which We are now threatened is an over full treasury and d troublesome surplus of money. lt may seem a strange dilemma, and t0 those who fail Co analyze great question of economy, 1t looks exceedingly strange that too mach money should be an evil. The facts are. however, that all history bearing upon this point, and the ex- perience of the ablest iinanciers go to prove that a plethoric treasury is harder to manage successfully than a depleted one. 1t stimulates extfaVa- gance and reckless expenditures. The internal revenue system has always been q serious burden to the people, and from being financial necessity it aas now become an unnecessary and cumbersome nusance-drawing money from the people that the government does not need, and thereby developing the worst form of despotic oppression. Moderate and reasonable taxation is more or less oppressive-excessiye tax ation is tyranny. With government of vast and almost boundless resources with a rapidly augmenting popula- tion made up of heterogeneous elements with an ill-digested and cumbersome political sytem and machincry-it will require all the wisdom of our young de- mocracy to carry us through the break ers-eycn with this our fair start. TIE TtMBs feels calm and serene, and will add it's mite in the coming struggle to perpetuate the power of that party which it believes is the party of the people Work is tle word, stand off the curbstone, labor in the shop, labor in the field, labor in the canvass and all will be well.

Who Does No. Love Ll.lle Children.

II do not care for little children,' is an expression have sometimes heard. but rarely believed. for there are in- deed, few whose hearts cannot be soft ened by the prattle of little tongues, the batter of little feet. Wonderful is the unfolding of little childs mind, tO it everything is a wonder. a mistcry. IL wonders what makes the wind blow why the flowers bloom, why the sun rises an1 sets. The little child asks many questions, yes many questions that cannot readily be answered. IL delights in all investigations, many the weary steps mama must take to get the scissors away from baby, to take il from under the sewing machine treadle to take it in her arms and soothc il when it has pulled the door to on it. own little fingers. Yes baby is always in mischief when well and strong and it loves sugar and cakes and candy and molasses and everything sweet and sticky and will fall asleep with it's little head bending low over a bosom al trickled over with molasses or honey Oi milk. Yes. you may tire sometimes 0i the countless questions, the sticky lit tie fingers. But when that little prat
 
 washed clean and cold and folded oVcI its little breast-w when all the scissors all the playthings. the little shoes anC stockings are picked Up from the tlool and put away. everything neat and or. derly and little baby lying there in 1t: coffin. Then you realize how dear thai little one was to you. l think now oi one little girl but four or five years olo ! | k., fT.,r tions of many, for she lived at the posi office and had many fast friends among those who must go there for their mail she sees you coming and runs to meet you, she must show you her little tir store, she calls you back to tell you about her little set of china dishes about the little pet chicken that papa trod on, then when you start tO % shf wants to slip off from her mama and come up town with you and get some sweet cakes with "big holes in the middle of them, some candy OT Gn orange or an apple. You know bei little heart is free from deceit. she loves candy but she is not selfish, sht loves you because you notice her, be. cause you pet her and above all because you love her and her pretty ways. But little Doll Crawford no longer runs to meet you, nc longer stands upon the gallery calling after you until yoa art out of sight.

A REPUBLICAN exchange says that Chief Justice Fuller will find it some trouble to support eight daughters and five pianos on his salary of SlO,5OO; and offers two solutions-one is to sell the pianos, and the other is to marry of the girls. As nobody wants to buy the pianos, the latter alternative is the on- ly salvation for the eminent Jurist. TIE TIMES suggests that he adopt the plan of the old farmer who built rail pen around his old wheat-straw, leay- ing the cracks large enough for COW s tongue to pass through, thereby, mak- ing good use of the otherwise useless straw.

Tine wicked Galveston News says that Constantine was an eloquent ad- vocate of a law when he took a fancy to it. and that if that defunct Emperor could be brought to life and power. perhaps the Sunday laws might have some show. The editor of the News has more fun than any editor in Texas. He gets off little squibs like the above just to tantalyze the editor of the Advocate, and then sits down and laughs himself into paroxysms. Ark wright Magruder endorses the plan as an easy and inofIensiye way to have fun.

THE Republicans are determined not to allow the democrats to go on record as settling any vexed, international question. if they can possibly preyen it; they are determined not to confirm a democratic Chief Justice, they are de- termiRed to obstruct everybody and everything that is democratic, in fact they are determined to be republicans and that name means everything that is unsavory and unpatriotic. However they can do one thing-they can publish to the world that they believe Blaine lied when he wrote that he didn't want his name to go before the nominating convention.

Now as Powell Clayton has aroused the ire of colored men, it comes in handy to mention the Illinois Supreme Court decision also. This decision, as We re- cal, it. was in case involving a contest for property, wherein the court decided that the children, being born ill slavery were iliegitimate. Verify our republl' can friends are beginning to find the negro quite troublesome element h the body politics, and with all theil shrewdness in attempting to conceal the fact, the negro is finding it out and making his kicks felt. It is being dem onstrated every day that the chicken IS a very troublesome fowl. from the fact that it will come home to roost.

Editor TIMES:

Editor TIMES:
 Regarding tho item in your last issue of TIE rIMEs stating that the body found below Madison was buried. Several gentlemen of the place doubung thls statement went down to the body Sunday, it still lay there on the side of the water and no slgns existed of HIS ever having been buried. The people here expected the coroner would have done this when Le visited the body. Humanity demands that this body (dry bones as il may be) should be buried and if such is not the duty of the coroner, then many people here are much mistaken. The body is without head or arms, no elothirg remains, except shoes and a pair oi stockings upon the feet. Tho feet are crossed and round hole through the chest on left side, probably shows cause of death. It would look better if the body was taken and buried.
 Very Truly,
