Papa Thrown Into Confusion.

A bright 4-year-old Reynolds boy was
walking along Madison the other day with
bis father. He seemed in a brown study, and
his father was about to call him out OF his
feverie, when the boy turned and suddenly
looking up, said: "Pa, what makes little pig
gies eat so fast.'
''Pa" was so confused that he blushed, and
finally said that he would have to give it up.

The Eagle
THE SHADOW SELF.

At morning tide the traveller westward bound
Before him sees a heightened shadow run;
At noon it shrinks beneath him on the ground;
Unmarked, it rearward moves at set Of sun.
A juggling shadow self the youth pursues,
And questions with fond and curious mind;
This shade the man in prime subdues,
But mellow age has cast it far behind.

A GRAVE error has taken possession
of the popular mind touching the
duties of delegates from the terrific
ries in congress and the good services
they can render their respective con-
stituencies by properly applying and
directing their labors. Because their
delegates are not Untitled to all the
rights and privileges accorded repre-
sentatives from the states many have
been led to believe they are mere
sinecures and it makes but little diff
ference with the people as to whom
they may send. This is very grave
error and the erroneous belief should
be removed at the earliest moment
possible. Territories have much to
ask at the hands of congress and their
wants and demands must be made by
their delegates. Now, to secure these
demands and have these wants sup
piled delegates must be men of ability,
men of influence, men who can COM
mand the respect and win the support
of their fellow members. Delegates
lacking these traits can do no good.
National and state legislation seems
to take precedence largely over legis-
lation for territories and it requires
delegates of the very best ability and
parliamentary tact to advance their
bills on the calendar and push them to
final passage. Then again, to accomp-
lish most and to secure the greatest
amount of legislation for the good of
the people the delegate should be in ac-
cord and in harmony with the party in
power They should be on such terms of
party utilization that their demands for
legislation would be respected and
their acquisitions for favors would be
promptly honored and granted by the
heads of departments. The erroneous
belief has crept into the popular mind
because people have so often sent
delegates to congress lacking in the
proper qualifications or who had no
influence whatever with the party in
power, and for the future, if they will
always send men of ability and men
in harmony politically, with the adj
their erroneous beliefs
will vanish like mist before the ris-
ing sun.

The nomination of Mr.. Cleveland
for second term of office is new
departure with the Democratic party
and produces change of popular
policy that has been in existence for
nearly fifty years. Since the days of
Van Buren, in 1910 the party never
thought it advisable to nominate a
man the second time for the exalted
position of President of the United
States. The party has had good men
1t is true, and men of executive abili-
ty to rule for any period. but for the
past forty-eight years the one term
policy has been in favor and there has
never been any upheaval of sentiment
to break it until the present time
when the people rise up and with a
voice as the voice of one man say
Give US Cleveland again, and Cleye-
land it will be. As sure as June comes
and Mr.. Cleveland is living Just SO
sure will he be renominated on his
message to Congress as the broad
plank of the party platform and It is
almost as equally sure he will be re-
elected.
