Ex-Lieut. Gov. Black, of Pennsylvania
Is good democrat and man of sound
views upon practical questions. Speaking,
the other day, of the future welfare of his
children, he said: II want my children to
have not only an education, but an occupa-
ton. My daughter took up stenography at
my suggestion, for l think it is the duty of
every man who cares for his children to see
that they are placed in position to make
their own unaided way in the world, should
the necessity arise. My son will shortly be-
gin an apprenticeship in a machine shop,
and it will be a source of great qualification
to me when | know that he is equipped with
trade. something which he can utilize to
his advantage when other things fail" The
false notion that young people whose parents
are wealthy should not learn how to work
belongs to the past 1t has no place in this
day of fleeting wealth.

Explaining the Galloping.
From the WASHINGTON Post.

From the washington Post
Probably everybody who witnessed the pre-
sentation of Held by the Enemy at the Ma
tional theater last evening, wondered how the
strangely realistic galloping effect was produced
So does everybody everywhere. and Mr. Gillette
seldom escapes from a town without being re-
peatedly asked how he does it. 1t is a part of
his business, not to say of his religion, never to
tell the story twice alike. and never under any
circumsta ces to tell the truth about it. AS a
result he has to keep his inventory at work
nights and Sundays planning and shaping up
fresh answers to this qeStion J. Mcnamara,
Mr. Gillette's business manager, tells lis what
happened the other night in Cincinnati When
Mr. Gillette came out of the theater he found
two countrymen waiting for him.

smaller one said:

The New York Star referred to Senator
Colquitt the other day as lone of the best
known representatives of the palmetto
state" Senator Colquitt is not represen-
tative of South Carolina in any sense,
though in his public capacity he would
doubtless esteem it privilege to help that
state. He was born in Walton county,
Georgia, has always lived in Georgia, and
has twice been elected to the Senate by
Georgians. The Star makes another mis-
take in referring to him. 1t says he is 20
years old. 1t could hardly have gathered
the impression that he was 70 years old by
looking at him, for he does not appear to be
more than 90, though in point of fact he
is 65

The Violin-Player.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press
Softly drawing the bow across
The strings So tightly tuned,
He gently played little song,
Like those our mothers crooned-
"A song that speaks OF otaer times"
The music seemed to say;
"Of times when you were little babes,
A-cooing al the day"
Around the vioIinist's head,
The sun halo made,
As though proclaiming him saint,
As sweetly on he play'd.
The wind. across his sunken cheeks,
Blows cooling zephyrs oft;
1t toss d his struggling hair and gray,
Yet still the notes were soft.
And many drew quite near to him
To hear his plaintive tune;
1t seem'd to be to rich and poor
A blessing and boon
The former sat In carriages,
The poor stood on the walk;
And SO enrapp'd were all who pass'ds
They seemd not cen to talk.
They noticed not,his dress Of rags,
Nor that he was in want,
Nor that his brow, with wrinkles seam'd,
Stood guard DER face so gaunt.
They simply drew into their souls
The music sweet and low,
And gazed upon the man who made
heaven with his bow.
When suddenly his face outshone
The glory of the skies,
The loOkers-on, in wonder saw
His bosom fall and rise
The melancholy tune gave way
To music grand and strong:
In fervent rhythm fell the notes,
And echoed loud and long.
He struck at last the heartfelt chord
That fill'd the soul with cheer,
And seem'd to say to those about
That heaven is so near
Yet on he play and from the strings
Came still the golden notes,
Until the music seem'd to come
From arch-angelic threats.
Then suddenly the music ceas'd;
The people stood entranced
And through his dimm'd and tear stand eyes
Alone the player glanc'd.
He seem'd to get his pay from God,
And silently withdrew;
And only those who heard him stay'd,
Their souls thrill'd thro' and thro'.

weeks Gen. Malone has been working with that
tiTeless energy which characterizes his political

According to the Chicago Tribune, the
selection of Chicago as the place for the
worlds fair is assured. 1t says that 1862
members of the House, or one less than a
majority, favor that city, that forty others
would vote for it as second choice, and that
If st. Louis cannot be selected, Chicago
will receive the votes committed to that
city. 1t has made no estimate of Chicago's
strength in the Senate, but it feels certain
that with Senators Farwell, Cullom, Quay,
and Cameron working for that city, and
with the eight senators from the new states
for 1t, the Senate may be depended upon.
There are no doubt some mistakes in the es-
Inmates made by the Tribune, and they
will become apparent when a vote is taken.

Republican Butter"

From the Boston Globe (Den.).
The farmers of this state are not the only
ones interested in honest butter. Every person
who buys butter-nay every person who eats it
is interested in putting a stop to the fraudu-
lent substitution of oleomargarine for the real
article. II you pay for butter you don't want the
refuse of hogs and beeves thrust upon you. The
Republican party in this election stands as the
defender of these frauds upon the consumer as
we'll as upon the farmers. The latter have
banded together by thousands to defeat any
candidate for office who favors republican
butter" Why should not the consumers do the

Mr.. G. F. Clarkson, the father of the
First Assistant Postmaster General, writ
ing from Indianapolis to the Des Moines
Register, says: "There is no better evil
dence of the hopeless corruption Of Indiana
democracy than the election OF city officers
of the city of Indianapolis, Oct. 8. Three
years ago Sim Coy was guilty of stuffing
the ballot box in one of the wards of that
city at an election, with illegal tickets. He
was indicted and convicted of the felony,
and sent to the penitentiary for two years.
The proof was so plain and positive that no
one disputed it, or claimed his innocence.
He served his time out and came home two
months ago, and on Oct. was elected
by more than three to one over a worthy
and good man" 1t Is not probable that Mr..
Clarkson was ignorant of the fact that Coy
did not serve out his term. The statement
that he did is intended to deceive. Gov
was pardoned by President Harrison, upon
the recommendation of leading Indiana
republicans, and nobody has ever explained
the singular circumstance. The democrats
of indianapolis arc not responsible for Cows
reelection. He was reelected by the rough
and vicious element of that city-an ele-
ment that is to be found in every city, and
that has more or less influence in local pol
itics

Abolish the Parlor Match.

The city council on Wednesday night
passed an ordinance requiring spark arrest
ers to be used on the smoKe-stacks Of don
key engines, or any other engines. used in
loading steamers. This is step In the right
direction. There are very good reasons for
believing that at least some of the cotton
fires are caused by sparks from the
furnaces of engines of this kind, and it is
probable that another source Of cotton
fires is sparks from locomotives.
Every possible precaution against cot
ton fires ought to be taken.
A Liverpool paper recently published
an article, in which it was asserted that
fires in cotton cargoes are caused some
times by sparks which are produced by the
implements used by the screwmen coming
in contact with the iron bands Of the cotton
bales. 1t is not improbable that this is the
case. 1t is important, therefore, that the
screwmen should be very careful not to
strike sparks from the bands Of the cotton
bales
Parlor matches are, doubtless, also the
cause of cotton fires. In our local columns
yesterday there was an account of fire in
a cotton bale caused by match of this
kind. 1t is the general impression that
parlor matches are carried by very con-
siderable percentage of those who handle
cotton, and that they are dropped into the
cotton sometimes on the plantations, but
more often at the ports
A citizen furnished the MORNING NEWS
several instances of cotton fires in
which there was no doubt that the fires
were wholly due to parlor matches. Not
unfrequently these matches are found in
warehouses and on wharves, where they
have been carelessly dropped. One of these
matches, If close to cotton. is very likely to
start fire if stepped upon. If those who
are handling cotton were to give their ex-
perience it would doubtless be found that
they know of many instances of parlor
matches being in places where they would
be likely to start fire.
1t has been suggested that the legislature
should enact law prohibiting the sale and
use OF parlor matches within the state.
Such law would be no hardship because
safety matches can be obtained at about
half the price which parlor matches COM
mand. The prohibiting of the use of parlor
matches therefore would work no injury to
anybody except the manufacturers of them.
Indeed, as already pointed out, money
would be saved by the use Of the safety
match,
