Queer happenings happen on The oc-
casion of little peoples first "outlngs"
at church, all OF them suggestive of the
startling innocence of childhood and
its bewitching talent for "hitting the
nail on the head.' A gospel min
ister's little daughter was attend
ing her first church service, at which
her father presided. She had never
seen him in the pulpit before, and on
his entrance therein her presence of
mind forsook her, and she piped up,
in voice expressive Of joyful recogni-
ton: "Why, there's my papa, up in
that boxw Avcnging propriety swept
down upon the little maiden, and for a
season there was a great calm. But
services were grieviously long for such
wee worshiper, and she became very
restless, walking up and down the pew
and signing audibly. Mamma whis-
pcred comfortingly: "Papa's almost
through DEAR" whereupon ensucd
another brief period Of quiet; but il
was not to last Tired baby nature
had reached its utmost limit of cndur-
ance, and, by-and-by, over the quiet
listeners arose a little, clear and plain

The year has started out badly for
the Prohibitionists. The first battle
over whisky was that fought in New
Hampshire last week, where the drys
counted on safe and easy victory.
They had a majority of the Legisla-
.ure and could easily have passed q
prohibitory law, but they thoughtit bet
ter to put prohibition into the consti-
tuition, as has been done in Maine, and
accordingly an amendment to that Of
feet was passed by the Legislature and
submitted to the popular vote. ltwas
thought certain that the amendment
would be carried by large majority
but to the surprise of all 1t was over
whelmingly defeated. There were hall
q dozen amendments submitted to the
popular vote, all of which were adopted
save the prohibitory one.
1
The moral effect of the election on
the other States where the same qucs-
ton is pending will, of course, be very
great Massachusetts, votes next month,
and il is believed that prohibition will
be defeated there. Pennsylvania votes
in June, and the drys are very much
demoralized over the result IN o State
like New Hampshire, which next to
Maine, was believed to be more devoted
to prohibition than any in the Union
At the same time that prohibition
was beaten in New Hampshire the peo'
pie of that State wiped cur the narrow
and blgoted section Of the Constitution
which prohibited Catholics from hold
ing office. 1t has remained for cen
tury a disgrace to New Hampshire and
10 the whole country, that such pro
vision should remain in the Constitu
ton of any American State.

Doing Good Work for the People,

The Marshall Democrat-News, one
of the leading Democratic papers of
Missouri thus refers TO the growing
popularity of Col. Clay;
The friends of Senator Clay, of Au-
drain, are already beginning to boom
him for Governor in 1892. lie Is GER
tainly doing good work in behalf Of
the people Of the State, and making a
record that will endear him to thous-
ands of voters. Ills bill to compel the
railroads to abandon the present sys-
tenn of handling live stock shows him
to be on the side of the people.
The Upton Times gives warning TO
all aspirants for gubernatorial honors
that Senator Clay, of Audrain county,
is winning golden opinions as legis-
lator, and It would not be in the least
surprising to us should the people cal
upon him to assume the duties of the
chief magistracy. We do not know
that the Senator cherishes any ambi'
ton in that direction, but we do know
he is eminently qualified for the posi-
ton. A gentlman of the highest edu
cation and culture; of strong practica
sense, he has had the benefit Of an ex
tensive and varied experience in public
life, and belongs TO that class of prac
tical farmers which constitutes th,
bone and sincw of our great common
wealth. While q wealthy man, he ha
boldly championed the interests Of th
common people, and has introduced
several measures in the Senate tina
have for their purpose the protection
of the public against the encroach
ments of corporated wealth. His bill
to prevent the trusts and combination
which is bill ofgreat Importance, ha
already been reported .favorably b.
the committee on corporations.
We are gratfied though by no mean
surprised by this note of Col. Greer
Clay's growing popularity.

.MASSERLY METHODS"


We admire the tone of the Wisconsin
Railaoad Commission, paper ofwhich
is before us. We copy as follows from
the Financial Chronicle and commend
the same to our State Commission:
Some notion of the Boards ideas of
its functions and duties may be gained
from Mr.. Peterson's Introductory re-
marks in the present report, and it is
for this reason more particularly that
we dwell upon the matter today. In
referring TO one of the complaints
which came before the Board during
the late year and his action thereon, he
quotes his finding in full, containing
this significant paragraph:
The course adopted by all my pre-
decessors, of trying to settle all com
plants brought before this department
without recourse to the courts, has
been amply vindicated by the good
results which have followed, in seeur-
ing to the people of Wisconsin as good
rates as in any part of TIE West and
an immunity from hostility of feel
ings which has characterized some OF
the States, ending in bitter feuds and
in vexations and expensive litigation,
The wisdom OF this course having
been made so apparent - | have
adopted the same course. Ex'
perience has clearly demonstrated that
the best results have been obtained
where the Commissioner has acted
more as the adjuster than as the Judge
and that conciliatory course has pro
duced the most kindly business rela
tions between the carriers and trader
in the promotion of harmony ant
good will"
In another part OF his report, II
deating with the question of rates an'
his efforts to have the "distancc tariffs
rcarrangcd, he says that while ther
was some little delay, the roads finall
agreed to make revision. This ste
he then comments on as follows: Il
is gratifying to know that whateve
the change Is, II has come throug
reason, and not force, and comes as
new proof that mannerly methods, |
an attempt TO secure results that al
desirable, are better than methods {
contention, and when secured there
left none of the spirit of rancor an
! hate, with no bitterness to allay {
|, wounds to heal.' Again, in treatin
of legislation, after saying that if I'll
railroads violate the requirements {
law or justice, or become arrogant an
dictatorial, they should be quickl
placed under more rigorous cond
tions, he remarks: "Beyond this, IL
corporations owning and operating II
: great transportation lines, should b
left entirely alone to perform their bu
iness in their own way. Any attemI
further than that is an attempt to sui
vert, not to protect rights. The delln
tions of power should be clear an
plain and limited to defense and pre-
lection; and for the accomplishment
of these its powers should be ampl
: and in woll-prescribed form. Th
thought of all restrictive laws shoul
be to secure justice, not to wor
tyranny; to elevate the standard o
right, not to wreak revenge. The lay
should be a giant in repose, wit
strength and will for an emergenc,
but held IN allegiance until the cmcl
gency comes.'

And lies at rest.

The white robed breast;
The groans and sobbing

Conjure no phantom

Come away softly
And make no moan,
Leaving thy perishcd hope

Poll Tax Delinquent.

jackson, Miss, March S.-Under the
operation of the law passed by the
last Legislature making the failure to
pay poll tax by MVfh l a misdenean-
or, about forty delinquents have been
arrested in this city. None have as
vet been sent to the county farm, as
they all managed to raise the tax aud
damages. The effect of the law has
been to reduce the number of delin-
quents in this (IIinds) county from an
average of 4,060 in former years to
1900 this year.
From all of the black counties we
have reports showing the beneficial
working of the law making the pay
ment of poll tax misdemeanor
Washington county does not make
as good a showing as Kinds, there be
ing over 1000 delinquents turned over
for the justices to operate upon. But
in this and all the Delta counties the
collection of the poll tax Is more diff
cult than elsewhere. The population
is constantly Increasing and shifting by
the influx of bill county negroes.
THERE'S ample evidence however of the
good working of the act in this county.
The polls paid to the Sheriff are 1000
against previous maximum of 900.
To this the justices will probably add
1000 more. If the act is fully tested
and proves to be non-ayoidable, 1t will
work even better in the future.

Special Correspondence of Avalanche.
Charleston, Miss, March 9.-The
meeting of the county board of super
visors this week brought a large
crowd to town, among which were
half dozen or more representatives of
iron bridge companies. The feature
of the occasion was the letting of a
contract to bridge a stream in the
western part of the county, known as
the ~Chute." The bidding was quite
spirited. but despite the low figures
offered. and the tact and generalship
displayed by the Others, the contract
was awarded the southern Iron
Bridge Company of Birminnham,
Ala, at $4,000. The length of the
bridge will be precisely six hundred
feet. and not a piece of wood will be
used in its construction except for fine
floor.
The condition of our county flnan.
ces at present is very healthy. War
rants are promptly cashed by our eff
ticient treasurer at face value, and be-
sides enough money to pay all liabili-
ties, he has quite fat surplus on hand.
Our board of supervisors are very
wisely using this surplus in spanning
our troublesome streams with bridges
that are indestructible by water oil
fire, and indeed almost so by old faith
er time himself
The above speaks well for Tallahat'
chic, showing its citizens to be wise
and progressive as well as fortunate
While Washington county has NJ
necessity requiring a 600 foot bridge
its Board of supervisors would dis
play sound judgment and truo econ
omy by adopting iron bridges for the fu
ture. We have urged this policy on diff
ferent occasions heretofore without ei
feet and now renew the motion. Whil
for twelve years past the county finan
GERS have been managed carefully AM
judiciously in the main; it is matte
of some regret that in all that while NJ
permanent and creditablc public coun
ty work has been accomplished. Wood
en- bridges and literally tumble-dowl
court house, somewhat conflict with tn
progress and enterprise we claim.
