LeFTlDle DllZZaTu tlAL passed

much newspaper writing, but complete
and correct recital Of their self-sacrificing
heroism has not yet been told.
Miss Loie NJ. Royce was teaching school
near PlainGeld, Neb., on the day of the great
storm. At noon six of the children went
home, and the blizzard coming up, they did
not return. Miss Royce and the three re-
manning pupils stayed at the school until 8
o'clock. and the fuel giving out the young
lady determined to take her little ones to her
boarding house, situated only fifteen rods
from the school house. They started out,
but in the fury Of the storm wandered out of
their way and became lost. The storm in
creased, and after hours Of endeavor the
brave teacher sank down in the snow and
gathered her little brood about her. Dark
ness came on. Weary and frightened, the
little ones began to cry. Sinking to the
snow covered ground, they sobbed them
selves into a restless sleep. The brave
young girl realized that this exposure would
result in death to her little flock, and, stretch
ing herself at full length upon the snow, and
to the north, she huddled the three little ones
to her breast covering them with her own
cloak, and thus shielding them from the wind
with her own form In the night one of tka

Her arts in securing what seemed to her a
prize were deceptive and tricky, for as soon

gay bride of seventy summers pursued him
with letters, bearing endearing titles, ask
ing him to return to her heaving and low

original and unique. Think fit, a woman

these feelings by figurative Illustrations on

OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER

PHILRADPLHIA Pa, FEB. /, 'SS
The success and the ability with which
". N. Rapsher discharges his duties as
District Attorney of Carbon county must
be matter of much qualification and pleas
ure to his many friends and supporters.
Rapsher is man Of undoubted ability and
possesses much legal force, and possessing
these excellent attributes he only requires
a field and opportunity to apply them, and
assert that strength of individuality which
ton of ones fellow man. 1t was indeed a
fortunate thing that the low, mean, con-
temptible cunning of that peculiar species
Of political prostitute which infest Carbon
county, did not prevail in its attempt to
defeat Rapsher in 1885, for If the under
handed games of this species, that has been
everything from post to pillar, from stem
to stern, for the past forty or fifty years on
political questions had succeeded, Carbon
county to-day would not possess such
model District Attorney and so able pros
ecuting attorney as Hon. W. NJ. Rapsher.
The Revenue Reform meeting on Friday
evening, Jan. 9th, in the Academy Of
Music was eminently a success. An audi
ence Of about three thousand people was
present, manifesting much enthusiasm in
the discussion of the question from prac-
tical business standpoint. 1t was novel
meeting to be held in Philadelphia, which,
as supposition runs, is rock-ribbed IN the
fAllacious dogma Of protection. If any Of
the disciples Of protection were present up
on this occasion they were no doubt con-
founded at the magnitude of the meeting,
pithy and pointed illustrations, as to the
benefits of raw material duty free for Am
erican manufacturers. 1t Is true 10 state
that is was no political meeting, the ques.
tion was not discussed from q partisan
standpolnt-it was viewed throughout as q
business question and thus made lucid
Republicans We'd with Democrats; Demo
Gratis with Republicans discussed the merits
Of the question; a Republican presided ant
two eminent Republicans added contribu
tions in the way of letters, in the persons
Of Hon. Hugh Mccullough, Secretary o
the U. S. Treasury under Lincoln ant
Arthur, aud Jackson s. Shultz, leading
New York Republican. Eliminate tn
tarift question from politics and it viii sool
settle itself as 1t ought to be, settled in
business manner. AS such, and as sucl
alone, 1t should be decided and adjusted
The speakers, Hon. w. G. P. Breckenridge
of Kentucky, and Hon. Frank Hurd, O
Ohio, held the audience OF three thousan
spellboand during their arguments in faye
of free raw material and the eVangel Q
greater prosperity for the American indus
trial forces. The addresses were forcefI
and eogent; the reasoning so lucid that b
who runs may read, and the eloquence, e.
peciAlly that of Breckenridge, so fascina
ing and pleasing that If placed on the hu
iings, even in Pennsylvania, he would col
Vincs and persuade the stoutest of oppoI
snts. Both Breckenridge and Hurd a
quilted themselves Ably, contributed mlgh
lly 10 this question In Philadelphia, and

Nr. Rannhar for conrresa.

The Weatherly Herald last week con-
tained spicy and interesting article on the
probable congressional aspirants In this
county. II named Messrs. Klotz, Cassidy,
Craig, Brodhead and Rapsher We give
the article in full in another column. After
pointing out the strength and weakness of
the several gentlemen named, 1t adds;
"Ifthe selection Of a choice could be left
directly TO the people, William M. Ropsher
,oOuld outstrip all others. With the ma
chine against him he mould hare all up hill
lpork."
The Herald is undoubtedly correct In
this opinion, but we do not believe the
people Of Carbon county will allow Me ma
shine to defeat him. 1t would be too great
loss to the people. We will give few
reasons why Mr. Rspsher should be the
cOming man.
First, Because he is experienced and
well qualified for the honor in all respects
Cexcept that he is not rlchl but in place OF
riches he is one of the most forceful, effect
i've and impressive public speakers that we
know Of. On the floor of Congress this is
certainly the foremost and most important
qualification, 1t benefits the people, |. e.,
profound learning, large experience, COM
bined with telling oratorical powers. Ours
Is an important Congressional district and
very much needs man that sizes up to
these essentials to represent it,
Second, His hands are clean and he lie in
no nanner tainted with corporate monopo'
listic infuences-this is matter so highly
important at this time to the toiling masses
that not oven the Democratic party can
safely ignore 1t, in this very district. We
have not word TO say against the othei
gentlemen named, but to be candid, dc
they, or either of them, come up to these
requirements as fully as Mr.. Rapsher doesf
You need not speak out loud,

Yes, they dug him upl Who2 Oh, Charles
d. Keep, the man that invented * Wren."
A many-sided man was he. He was smart
enough TO go into Wall street without a
penny, and in four years come out rated at
a million. He tossed bears and he Crap
pied bulls and he kept Charles d. Keep on
top every time. Everybody said he was
smart. His plans of life were gigantic.
Wall street with all its terrible excitement
and strain was not enough for him. He
launched into twenty or thirty speculations
involving millions, and only short time
before his death put 100000 in his X Wren
Koff Kure. But with all his smartness he
was not wise. In the full noodtide of his
success he abandoned the faithful wife of bis
youth and married Jay Goulds cook. No
doubt she was good cook, or she would
not have been at Jay Gould's, but 1t GER
tainly must have occurred to K-Wren Keep
that il he made ever so many millions on
on the street, and Mr.. Gould were to give
party to his brother financiers and their
wives, that it could scarcely be expected
that Mr.. Gould would including the list of
his guests the lady who had formulated
his hash, concocted his Goldfish cakes, and
made his Irish stew the envy of all the
dwellers on the Hudson. But Mr.. Keep
died suddenly one day, leaving two widows,
for Mrs. Keep No. because cognizant of
the fact after time that Mr.. Keep had
virtually put up job on her to compel
her to sue for divorce, and an infamous
scourdrel, who received 81, 500 from Keep,
lent himself to the villainous plot, thus de-
luding the poor woman and enabling Keep
TO marry the cook. However they buried
him and the cook entered into possession
of his effects; and now comes wife No. /,
who insisted on having him dug up, she
asserting that he had been foully dealt
with, perhaps poisoned, or perhaps that
Keep was not dead at all, but being a smart
man, had placed substitute in the coffin
intended for himself, and was then enjoying
che joke in the diamond fields of South
Africa or on the top of the North Pole.
Well, as 1 said, they dug him up, and what
remained of of him was identified as the
editor of The Wall Street NelDS.
The tail end of the blizzard struck us on
the last of the week in quantity sufficient
to awaken our liveliest sympathy for
the people who took Horace Greeley's
advice and went west. Right here, where
the wealth of the nation is concentrated,
where the store-houses are full of grain,
| where ships lie at the wharyes loaded with
the choicest products of the earth, God
knows there is suffering and want enough
to make a heart of stone ache. Some of it
seems to be ndeserved-honest poverty,
an inscrutable decree of Providence; sick
ness. accident, misfortune, and lastly
drunkenness. Can it be believed, in So
called Christian community, on the first
night of the blizzard, poor drunken
wretch and five children were thrust out on
the street for non-payment of rent, and
were found by apoliceman freezing and
starving on the street. God help the
poorl

THE TAXPAYERS OF CARBON COUNTY
should not fail to carefully peruse the coun-
,y statement which appears in the ADvo-
CATE to-day. We particularly call atten-
tion to this by reason of the fact that the
late commissioners were blamed for ex-
traYagance, mismanagement and kindred
evils, which a careful reading Of the state
ment just published, will show to be with
out foundation of fact. Financially, the
county is in better condition than it has
been for years. The taxpayers will, no
doubt, greatly appreciate this fact, in view
Of the recent newspaper Misrepresentation,
lying abuse and villifcation.

A REVENUE Reform MEETING WAS
held In Philadelphia Friday Eight at which
prominent Republican presided. The re-
form policy of President Cleveland was
heartily commended. We are pleased to
note that in city like Philadelphia bigoted
and vicious partyism is dying out; that men
are beginning to think and work for the
country's good, and not alone for the bene-
at Of party. We hope this cooperation
and CO. mingling Of men Of all parties will
continue throughout all the States; it will
place politics on the higher plane of ad-
vanced thought, Of publication and en-
lightenment. Let the good work go on.
