Grandpa and Baby.

There entered a low saloon near the river on
Saturday, says the Detroit Free Press a sweet
faced girl-a child of no more than 10 years.
Her abundant brown hair was tdily braided
and her gown was perfectly clean and neat
although evidently cheap Her cheeks had a
color naturally delicate but evidently heightened
by excitement and determination and in such
place her presence impressed one like the lind
ing of wild rose blooming in an alley All
the hangers ON of the plece-sailors the worse
for sprees, and blear-eyed vagabonds the worse
for many such ceased their riOtous clamor, laid
down their cards and dice, and were quiet, as
} they looked at this incarnation of the sweetness
and purity which they had cast aside and
trodden in the mire One other, whose business
had called him there, stood in corner and
watched
The little one stepped fearlessly up to the bar
where the burly keeper stood with a half
empted glass in his hand and said:
Please sir, want my grandfather
Your grandfather? Who is he?"
Capt. -"
He isn't here. Hasn't been here for a month
don't want the old man to come to the house.
because when he begins to drink he doesn't
know when to stop
'Oh, but he is here sir, she said, very quietly
He di@h't come home last night, and this morn
ing l saw him through the door I've been
watching ever since, and he hasn't come out"
Don't you think know began the man.
when the child stepped back to the center of
the room. and, raising her head, called, in a
pure, resonant tone:
Grandpa! grandpa Baby wants YOU"
The man came angrily from behind the bar,
exclamng:
Get out of here, you cheeky little mink
Don't know"
'Don'L touch her Bill, - said a huge sailor ris-
ing from table, beer glass in hand, and STEP
ping between them.
We'll, Jack, don't see the cause to interfere
She'd better not"
Just then the door Of the kennel at the rear
of the bar opened and an old bent man,
trembling with years and recent debauch,
stepped out. Looking uncertainty about, he
asked:
'where are your Where are you, PETE"
The child glided to his side, slipped her hand
in his, and said:
Here, grandpa"
And what did you want baby?"
I'll haven't any one to play with, grandpa and
so came to look for you. And, oh, I'm so
frightened"
IAN right, my child, just you cling close to
my hand, and be careful you don't fall, and
grandpa'n take you home" So the two went
out and up the street, the brave little girl guiding
and supporting the tottering man who thought
that he was protecting her.
The two entered pleasant cottage half a
dozen blocks from the den, when neighbor
said: There was never a better seafarin' man
or soberer before he got struck with parted
line eight years ago. Since then he's been
childish, and once or twice year he II wander
Off from his daughter, who is well married and
kind, find lot TO treat him and have a spree
That girl was child when he was hurt, an he
worshiped her. He amt never got over thinkn
she's baby, and no matter when or where
drunk or SOBER she can do anything with him "

End of a Party.

Nobody seems to know or care much
about the united labor party of New York
which attracted so much attention when
Henry George was its candidate for mayor
of that city year ago last spring. Henry
George poled 6S, 600 votes, and at that time,
the prediction was quite freely made that
it would play an important part in the aD-
preaching presidential campaign. 1t has
gone all to pieces, however, and one of its
organizers said few days ago that it had
no existence now except in New York and
Brooklyn, and that it could not poll more
than 500 votes.
1t lacked two things, leaders and prip-
ciples. The men who were at the head of it
had axes to grind, and when their selfish
purposes became apparent the organization
broke up into factions and cliques, and the
members of it gradually drifted back to
the great political parties to which they
originally belonged. MIR. George Endorsed
Mr.. Ccveland's tariff policy and sgnifed
his intention of supporting Mr.. Cleveland
in the event of his denomination.
OF course that ended his connec-
ton with the united labor party.
Dr. McGlynn amounted to nothing without
the assistance of Mr.. George, as he possesses
none of the qualities of leader, and his
influence, therefore, soon dwindled to moth
ing Without these two men the party
could not hope to accomplish anything, as
no one of those who had played minor parts
in its affairs was capable of commanding
the respect and support of the organization.
There was also trouble about the finances
of the party. A very considerable amount
of money was spent in the George municipal
campaign, and those who had the handling
of it refused to show how it had been dis
tributed. OF course those who got none of
it were very indignant, and declined to
have anything further to do with the party.
If the party had any principles it might
have held together while longer, but
being without leaders or principles it very
naturally disintegrated and virtually dis
appeared.
Some of the ward bosses talk about reor-
ganizing and voting with that one of the
great political parties that will give them
the most patronage, but it is apparent that
this movement means nothing more than a
strike for plumber, and it is doubtful if it
will receive any recognition from either
democrats or republicans.

Still Hankering After Blaine.

1t begins to look like Mr. Blaine will have
to write another letter. When he wrote
from Florence to say that his name would
not go before the Chicago convention,
| many republicans took him at his word
| and gave their support to other candidates,
but some of his devoted followers were not
50 certain that he was out of the race, and
they worked matters so skillfully that when
the states had acted it was found that he
had nearly enough delegates to nominate
him on the first ballot Then came the
Paris letter, and for while his followers
were dazed. They had not thought they
would have to encounter that 1t
soon occurred to them, however,
that Mr.. Blaine had not said he would not
accept unanimous nomination, and with
the revival of their dropping hopes they
went back thirty-two years and brought
forth an old speech made by Mr.. Blaine when
the republicans of Maine wanted Hannibal
Hamlin to leave the senate and become
their candidate for governor Mr.. Blaine
SAID: 1.-The unanimous desire of the party
is that Hannibal Hamlin shall be selected
as our standard-bsarer; and though Mr.
Hamlin is reluctant to leave the senate to
become governor, he must remember that
the same power which can make him gov
ernor can send him back to the senate.
Let us make the demand upon him unani
nous and so imposing that he cannot de
cline our request. To that end let me urge
that all the towns in kennebec be repre-
sented at Portland with full delegations on
the Sth of next month
There is certainly something applicable
in the above to the present situation, and
Mr.. Blaine's friends score telling point
when they say he cannot refuse to accede
to the demands of his party after declaring
that another republican could not.
But this is not all. The Philadelphia
Press, one Of Mr.. Blaine'S leading organs,
after commencing as being creditable and
patriotic Mr. Humans recognition of the
binding force of the will of his party, y
says:
ION the other hand, the tender of nomi-
nation under the same circumstances by
the republican national convention could
not be declined by any man possessing an
intelligent and lofty sense of his duty to
the party"
In New York, the Tribune is daily print
ing opinions of republicans that Mr.. Blaine
cannot decline, if nominated
If these things mean anything they mean
that Mr.. Blaine's friends will try to nomi-
nate him, despite his letters. Suppose q
well planned movement, like that for Mr..
Thurman, should be started for Mr. Blaine
few days before the convention meets,
what would be the resultl
VIII Mr.. Blaine again be the opponent of
Mr.. Cleveland2 That is an interesting
question.

Gen. Bradley G. johnson was the Decora-
ton day orator in Baltimore, and he made
a speech that will attract attention, particu-
larly from republican organs, which will
make it another pretext for waving the
bloody shirt. Gen. johnson declared
that ex-confederate soldiers and their
descendants control the govern
ment, and after several other
rather incorporate statements made the re-
markable prediction that in 1890 Texas will
send twenty-five men to congress, and that
the great political question will then be,
who can win Texas, instead of who will
carry New York. As Texas has only thir-
teen members of congress now, including
two senators, her population will have to
show an enormous increase since 1880
Perhaps Gen. Johnson's imagination got the
better of his judgment.

elections in New York and other doubtful

MISS pR1M AND HER PUG.

Miss Pearl Prim, whom everybody
knows to be the most proper and precise
tailor-made beauty of western Penn
sylvania, patent rights reserved, had a
horrible adventure in church not long
ago.
When she reached the church door a
little late for the morning service, she
made the awful discovery that her pet
pug dog Peter was at her heels.
She was late, as have said, and il
she took Peter home it would be impos-
sible for her to return to church that
morning. Her Christianity was strong
enough to have made her resign herself
to such self-sacrifice; but she was wea.'-
ing new brown jacketof extraordinary
and perplexing Partisan beauty, and if
she missed the morning service the best
chance she would have to exhibit it to
all her friends would pass beyond her
reach.
So she picked up peter" who, for a
pug, is thin, and walked bravely up the
aisle to the proper pew. She was con-
scious of extra glances from the congre-
CATION, but she consoled herself by the
thought that if she outraged propriety
with the pug her manly jacket in the
latest fashion of the French capital
thereby got more thorough recognition
than II would otherwise have obtained.
Besides, "Peter" behaved splendidly.
He slept through the prayers, through
the hymns, and through the sermon. In
fact, he slept as decorously as Deacon
Smooth under the gallery.
Mrs. Prim, the mother of Miss Pearl,
sat next "Peter." 10 conceal the dogs
presence and insure his good behavior
Mrs. Prim covered him up with her
llster, which the heat Of the church had
obliged her to take off.
AS 1 have said, peter slept under
he ulster until the end Of the benedic-
