County Official Paper:
THO ONLY CERTAIN ROAD
TO VICTORY.

Tho best possible chances OF Re-
publican SUCCESS will Ito in tho max
ing Of IN Administration satisfactory
to the country. IL that is done there
need DO no fear OF the Democracy
coming into power again in 1892; and
il il is not dono it will como into
power. Tho Republicans now have q
fair majority in both branches of
Congress; they have the executive
Office, and can do what they like.
From now until November OF 1892
thoy will be subject to tho criticism
and attacks Of tho opposition, and
every mistake they make will be
known, proclaimed and magnifed.
ThNy cannot, therefore, do too much
for the country's welfare, nor commit
too few blunders, if they would keep
control Of the Government. It will
depend much more upon themselves
than upon tho Democrats whether
they win or loso in 1S92.1Phila-
delphia Telegraph.
Unfortunately for tho future pros
poets Of the Republican party the adj
ministration has so far fallen wide of
the mark in making itself satisfactory
to the country. Tho promises which
were made, and upon which the party
achieved success last November, have
not been kept, and tho people Of tho
country are beginning to awaken to
the fact that those promises were
made, not for fulfillment, but to catch
votes. Under n solemn promise that
silver would DO at par, and that
laborers would find constant employ
ment at remunerativo wages in tho
event Of Harrison's election, tho peo-
pie elected him. How we'll these
promises have boon kept tho country
is learning to its sorrow. The Tcle-
graph is correct in tho assertion that
"it will depend moro upon themselves
than upon the Democrats whether
they win in 1872"

After. long interval, long period
of neglect, the year 1929 saw revival
In the taste for fans. 1t CHANGED that a
grand ball was preparing at the Tuil-
cries, at which several costume quad
rifles" were to be danced. Madame la
Duchesse de Berri had undertaken to
get up Louis XIV. quadrille, aud
was seeking everywhere-had sought
everywhere in vain-for fans Of that
period. Suddenly some one remem-
bered having seen some old fans in the
shop window of a perfumer named
Vanier, who lived in the Rue Caumar-
tin. Vanier had collected old fans for
some time as an amateur. His fans
were taken to the palace; in the quad
rifle they created Juror, and we're
all purchased. The Duchesse de Berri's
ball began the renaissance OF the fan.

THE TEAR-KERCHIEF

It Is only trining thing to show
Just kerchief, white as the driven snow,
Yet many q tender and loving thought
Il into its dainty stitchery wrought;
For the mother wove It from fax that grew
And smiled In the field with its blossom blue;
She spun the thread whereof it was made.
And watched 1t carefully where twas laid,
That days warn kisses and nights soft dew
Might bleach the web TO its whitest hue;
And then il was lovingly laid away
For the daughters hand on her bridal da
Oh few are the tears by the maiden shed
On the day that her bridal vows are said.
They may fall as she meets her fathers kisa
Yet her heart il glad with her nuptial bliss
She maa fondly cling TO her mothers sue,
Yet her lover claims her. his happy bride.
She fears not TO give up her fair young life
To the sacred duties and name of wife;
And there Is no grief in the tears that flow
Ger the soft round cheek with its blushing
glow,
And she smiles as she wipes them all away
With the kerchief white on her bridal day.
Daintily folded with tenderest care,
The young wife taketh the kerchief fair,
With scented rose-leaves and lavender spray,
Scarce dried from her tears 1t is laid away.
There IN its fragrant and perfumed nest,
Ter many long years may the kerchief rest.
T1ey will bring in their train both Joy and woe
A. Time goes on in his ceaseless flow.
But Love still maketh each burden light.
And the home where he dwells is ever bright.
And the wife still smiles as she smil'd the DAY
She laid her kerchief with smiles away.
But Time viii pass and the years go on.
And each day findeth some duty done,
And the kerchief lies In its scented fold,
But snow has sprinkled the hair of golds
For the fair young bride Is a matron now,
And wrinkles furrow the once smooth brow,
And her step is no longer free and light,
And the hair is . crown OF silv'ry white,
But her children arise and call her blest
And her husbands heart In her doth rest;
And the kerchief lies as twas laid away
BY the maiden's hands on the bridal day.
But there comes day when, in peaceful rest, ,
Those hands lie crossed on a quiet breast
When the tender eyes are forever shut,
And the loving lips are forever mute.
Then, ere the face that they loved is hid
From mortal sight meath the cofin-lid,
The kerchief stained with the young brides
tears,
30 carefully guarded for many years,
Is gently laid DER the features pale;
At Deaths cold bridal, bridal vail
And the kerchief laid for so long away,
Hides the calm, still face on the burial day.

An Initiative Canary.

A week or two since "Billy's" cage
stood upon its stand at the open win
dow. and a robin alighting upon tree
near the house, belched forth one of
those mournful '.yaps" which are al
ways distressing to hear. 1t was the
first time that the canary had heard. to
our knowledge. the call of any bird
since he came last fall into the house.
At once he took up the mournful tone,
making sad work OF it at first. His
mistress could not divine what the
little fellow was attempting to initiate;
as he improved we at once took the
idea and told her it was the call of the
robin, and now in spite of all that can
be done to arrest his limitations. he Is
constantly interpolating that call into
his own beautiful song. A sad illus
tration that evil communications cor
rupt good manners. While the bird
was still experimenting upon that dis
NAL call we turned his attention from
it by repeating the name of his mis-
tress. in which exercise for the time
being he joined heartily. All attempts
to brighten him were vain, as heIwould,
after the scare was over. sit upon his
perch and sing and whistle as If he
were enjoying the contest with his
master. We do not say that he was.
but canaries are no fools, as one will
become convinced if he handles them.

Mountains and elsewhere; he also had
to invent a sufficiently trustworthy dis
guise for himself, and to lay in a stock
of more or less outlandish garments in
order to accentuate The change in his
appearance.
Now, Sir Toby was a smart, dapper
man who dyed his hair black and
shaved clean his face, so he argued
that If he bought red wig and beard
they would effectually disguise him
until his own beard and mustache had
had time to grow. When this hap
pened he would exhibit his undyed

eye-glass. he felt sure that he could
defy recognition. The mere question
of getting away was simple, the main
difficulty, of course. being how to
furnish Jack with proofs of his death
strong enough to enable him to take
possession of his inheritance. But Sir
Toby knew that queer things could be
done in America, and once there he
thought he could easily arrange by
bribery that the body Of some unknown
traveller should be identified as that of
Sir Toby Bunskin. Bart. Mindful of
this necessity he armed himself with
pocket-book containing papers calcu-
lated to place the identity of the person
carrying them beyond reasonable
doubt. He also carefully destroyed
every win that he had ever made. for
he wished his nephew to inherit as
much as possible. The greater the
rise," he chuckled, 1.-THE greater the
fall. Up like rocket, Jack. my boy,

THE Republican party was shamed,
common decency outraged and every
American who esteems his citizenship
highly, caused to blush by the disgraceful
conduct of parcel of Republican rowdies
in Washington on the night preceding
the Inauguration Of President Harrison.
These hoodlums, and they were very num-
erous, gathered about the White House
and paraded the grounds until daylight,
singing ribald songs and insulting Presi-
dent Cleveland and his family by shouting
vulgar expressions, by tapping on the win
dows and asking when the occupants were
going to move out, and by intoning polit-
zeal chants, and improvising coarse and
partisan songs, involving the name of the
President and insulting to his family. 1t
is amazing that neither the Washington
nor the Federal police interfered, and
that both forces treated the affair as rather
in the line of practical Joking than as
grossly in violation of the peace, and as
insulting to the Chief Magistrate of the
nation. 1t is the first instance on record
when an outgoing President was thus sub
iected to the scurrility of partisan hood
lums.

PAID BOARDS.

The New York GrnPAic and the Epoch
of the same city are contending for a re-
formation of the educational system in
New York, that will require the Boards Of
Education to be paid for their services. 1t
Is correct idea. If the people want
efficient service and devotion to public
business they must expect to pay for it.
While it is true that there are men who
are able, and are so situated that they can
oversee the public schools without financial
punishment the system that is in vogue
shuts out the poor man who cannot give
the time-that is his money-necessary to
faithful discharge of duty. No matter
how intelligent, therefore, or how admir-
ably qualified for these supervisional Of
ficers, he cannot Afford to take them
and thus one elenent in the composition
of our society is shut out from partie;pa-
ton In one of the most important
branches offree government and civilization.
The immediate occasion for the debate in
New York is the deci nation of one of the
Board OF Education to take action 10
remedy certain ills in the sanitary condi-
ton of certain school-heuses, on the ground
that he had not the time TO attend to the
duty, nor the inclination to go about a
very disagreeable task. If that Director
was now salaried officer, the city would
have the right to demand that he proceed
to do his duty, or else give way for some
one who will. We do not believe that the
State should ask any one of its citizens TO
work for it without compensation. It is
entitled to as good administration of its
affairs as is a private body, and it cannot
hope to get it until it adopts the system of
the private business concern. The pnblic
school system is too important and too
sacred to have its administration made
charity. 1t demands the thought and time
of intelligent men for its right con suct,
and these constitute the capital 10 life of

Judge Cunningham, of the Circuit
Court of Conway county, Arkansas, has
no mantle to spread over the political as
sassin. The Judge is Democrat, and n
lover of his State, but he is not an apol-
ogist for crime, nor does he seek for ex-
cuses, as have recent essayists in prom
inent papers, to relieve political leaders of
responsibility for the murder of ]. NJ.
Clayton. In his charge to the Grand
Jury of Conway county, recently, Judge
Cunningham said:
You will have to investigate the Clayton as
sassinetion, and whoever aided and abetted by
word or deed, in that cowardly butchery should
be dragged by the throat to justice. They should
not be exempt from punishment because of any
standing or influence they may have in the
wish to heaven that l did. would tell you.
But mind you, political assassinations do not
originate in the minds of men in the humblest
walks of life. Menwho earn their living by the
sweat of their brow, whose lives are poems of
honor or industry. do not find it in their minds
and hearts TO conceive assassination, but it is
conceived and planned by more influential,
spectacle While the cowarily villain who
fred the gun that killed CLAYTON should be
caught and hung, the main object of our search
should be the dastardly conspirators who in
spired it. Some men seemingly want to apol-
ogize for. or extenuate the horror of hismurder
on the ground of politics. l tell you there is no
Democracy of Republicanism in murder.
If the Grand Jury responds to the
charge in the spirit of its delivery, it will
clear away the imputation cast upon lowly
people by the Democratic press and poll
ticians of Arkansas, and declare-of which
it must have moral conviction, if it is not
established by legal certainty-that Clay
toms murder is chargeable to men prom
inent in political activity in Arkansas.

No PRESIDENT in the last half of the
century has been SO fortunate with an in.
augural as President Harrison. All his
predecessors within that time met with
more of adverse criticism upon their inau-
gurals- In fact, he of all the Presidents
of the last fifty years has most nearly won
unanimity of public approval for his
opening address. The appreciation with
which it has been received is not limited
to party commentator or bounded by
party lines.

IT remained for members of the Cali

and shame the Capital City by arranging
for brutal Sunday prize fight as finale
to their two months residence here. 1t is
surprising that even the local supporters
of the prize ring consented to such gra-

the public, which, irrespective of religious
faith or belief in the sanetity of the day,
holds it at least in such respect that it will

Mr.. EDISON has completed an inven-
ton which he dubs the "shouter." Its
purpose is to displace the steam whistle
for railroad signaling. 1t is operated by
steam, but is SO constructed that its tone
is that of command and very loud. The
device does not exactly speak, but its vari-
ations of tone indicate exactly what the
order issued is. L. has its advantages Of
course, as for instance that of certainty,
but decided disadvantage will be its
noise, which is said to be very much more
disturbing than the ordinary locomotive
