Could Have Saved LinColn's Life.

The one man in the world who
could have prevented the assassination
of President Lincoln is dead. John
Frederick Parker, born in Winchester,
Va, came to Washington some time
before the firing upon Fort Sumter and
soon found employment upon the
metropolitan police force. When in
1862 it was decided to strengthen the
regular force of doorkecpers and
watchmen at the White House with a
squad Of policemen. Parker was one
of those selected. 1t thus happened
that when President Lincoln and party
entered the old Ford Theatre on the
night of Good Friday. 1865. they were
accompanied by Parker as guard. He
took his position at the door TO the
private box from which President Lin
coin watched the performance, where
be was expected to remain and prevent
the entrance Of every one except the
members of the party. As the play
proceeded. Parker, from his post.
could hear just enough of what was
said on the stage To arouse his curiosi-
tv. and il was not long before ls left
the door and edged bis way towards
the auditorium. He finally took seat
in the orchestra or pit, as il was then
called. where he had scarcely settled
himself when the whole audience was
surprised BY the report of n pistol shot.

A CONSTITUTIONAL convention is now
in session in the state of Mississippi for
the purpose of revising the fundamental
law of that state. The Republican press
questions the sincerity of the whites who
have demanded the change, claiming that
the object is to disfranchise the negro
and give absolute supremacy to the eau
casian. This may be a part Of the pur-
reports at present before the convention
are adopted and embodied in the new
constitution. Mississippi will soon have
more intelligent white population than
any other state in the union, and if the
negro is as apt as his Republican friends
declare, his learning and intelligence will
soon surpass that of most people north
and south. Every qualified voter must be
able to read and understand any article in
the constitution. What if such test were
applied in Wis? This is southern demo-
cracy; the Wis. democrats would call this
an unrighteous Inference with private
rights.
The convention is strangely partial to
the old soldier. Honorable service in
either army during the late unpleasant
ness will secure the right of suffrage
where all other qualifications are lacking.
Another popularity about the qual6ca-
tons is that claimant for suffrage may
have the choice of three or four options.
Not every man is supposed to have all
the qualifications, but still the suffrage
will not be within the immediate reach of
all. though industry and common schools
will soon brings the privilege to every
man of sound mind.

AT meeting of German American
societies lately in Chicago there WIS cali
ed into being central organization which
declared its principles to be as follows:
adherence to and spread of German Gus
toms in America; standing firmly by per-
sonal liberty guaranteed by the constitu-
ton; opposition to all attempts to re-
move instruction in the German language
from our public schools; protest against
Sunday laws The country must be
saved. but what about other very large
elements of our population that may sim
cerely differ from those who advance
some OF the above propositions? The
sooner classes and sects show little
feeling of reciprocity" the sooner we
shall all be happy.

SAM YIP JAZZ, the Chinese laundryman
who debauched little girls has been re-
leased from Waupun. The supreme
court decided some time ago that the law
under which he was prosecuted and con-
victed is unconstitutional. The punish
ment which the scoundrel merited was
such as the mob proposed giving him.
He was kept in prison some time after
the supreme court had passed upon his
case and Gov. Hoard was blamed for not
taking steps to secure his immediate re-
lease. If the Gov. could by any means
have kept the lecherous scoundrel in
prison he should receive praise and not
censure.

American Gallantry.

The swlnish propcnsities of the
human race are confined TO no NATIONAL
ity, sect or color. l have met with
them in England. France aud Germany
quite rs often As in America. Indeed,
am not far from sure that take him
with all his faults, the American has
not larger share of the generous
virtues than the man of any other
country. | remember once returning
from an extended tour abroad. during
which l had seen women sickened with
cigarette smoke in close railway car
riages; standing on the decks of the
Rhine steamers while their welded
lords enjoyed the scenery and the
Baier-bier on the few chairs in sight;
and wading through seas of mud at
street crossings. while gallant Gaul,
perched on the only dry spot, barred his
head in Difference to their sex as they
passed by.
The day | landed in New York, l
rode once down and up Broadway in
an omnibus. to see how the city had
changed in my absence. The street
was in vile condition. as usual. Next
me sat an elderly woman of the middle
N1"SS' 49, Eiaihit Jul CSpCCtdDlN Cldu.
She was evidently visitor from out of
town; and, when the stage stopped for
her to alight at her destination, she
looked timidly this way anu that, as if
fearful she might lose her footing on
the slippery stone pavements and be
run down in the crush of moving
vehicles. In an instant Young man
who had been reading his newspaper
sprang up. alighted, held open the door
and helped the old woman down,
escorted her to the sidewalk in safety,
ran after the stage and caught it, jumped
aboard again and resumed his reading
as if he had done only the most natural
thing i'll the world A thrill went
through me as felt that | was once
more in the country where. even though
polish of manner was sometimes lack
ing, the real essence of politeness was
deeply seated in the National heart.
Oh, yes, we do have the Great Human
Hog herc-nobody denies that-but he's
the rare exception. not the rule.

The democratic platform goes to the
full limit of opposition to the Bennett
law. 1t denounces that measure as un-
American, unconstitutional, unnecessary
and an interference with the liberty of
conscience and parental rights. 1t de-
scrlbes 1t as weaker than the compulsory
law OF 1879 which it commends. If weak
er, is it not less an interference with pa
rental rights than the law which it sup
plants? Or. does the fact that the law of
1879 does not require instruction in Eng
lish make it more distinctively American,
more IN harmony with the constitution
and less subyersive Of parental right than
the Bennett law which aims to secure to
the child knowledge of the legal lam
guage of the land? Is it compulsory educa-
ton or instruction in English to which the
democratic party objects? II it is COM
pulsory education, then the law of 1879.
being stronger, on the authority of this
remarkable platform, is the more tyran
meal. If it is instruction in English
which is un-American, unconstitutional
and unnecessary then the Bennett law Is
properly denounced.
Col. Villas is the author OF this Infamous
document which should bring the blush
OF shame to eve.y democrat 1t is need
less to add that Col, Villas is candidate
for the g. S. senate. He is willing to
barter honor, principle and the rights of
children to attain his ambition. To what
depths will not man sink who seeks DO
litical preferment.
When tie platform opposes any divi-
sion of the school fund for sectarian uses
it touches upon something on which
there Is no division of opinion. And it
openly defies truth when it says the Ben
nett law denies the right of trial by jury
to those who violate its provisions
Geoge Peck was nominated governor
on the Sth ballot. Carl Jonas received
the nomination for lieutenant governor.
The convention adjourned until this
morning.

WANTED TO BE TOUGH.
A Bad Little Boy Who Was Humanize
by Music and Flowers.

Those interested in works of phi
lanthropy and reform realize to-day
how necessary it is to begin with the
children, and some are of the opinion
that it is worse than time wasted in
many instances to attempt to do any
thing for those maturelv hardened and
degraded. But few realize how hard
it is to do anything even for the little
ones" woman said the other day,
who has been for years laboring in the
cause of religion and philanthropy
among the tenement poor Of the city.
II remember one day." she continued,
"when little brother aud sister came
from the slums to one of our free kin
dergartens The boy was six years
old, his sister two years older, aud just
the same as sisters ali the world over
she seemed to take the greatest pride
in the bright little fellow.
".Ahg Mickey's the boy she ex-
claimed as she drew the little chap up
in front of the teacher. Why, he
knows all the the cuss-words now.
Don't YOU, Mickey?' The youthful
reply was proof positive of the truth
fulness of the proud sisters assertion.
Come here. my dear said the
teacher, anxious to change the subject.
What are you going to be when you re
grown up?'
"'What m I goin' to be when I'm
crowd? I'm JUS goin' to be tough;
OATS what | am. An den, said he,
his big eyes flashing with a baleful
light won't haste de old woman and
turn her out of de house, Youse bet
will Little sister looked prouder than
ever.
But the teacher sighed. A child of
with its ambition already formed.
And what an object in life! To be old
enough to beat his mother and turn her
out of doors.
with such little poor, hardened
hearts do we have to deal. and some
times it seems to lis that we can never
find the way to awaken in them the
slightest consciousness that there is
such thing as good in the world.
But the teacher would not give Mickey
up, little twenty-four inch tough that
he was. though the task was most dis
couraging. Finally one day the incor-
rigible youngster was found seated on
the floor, with both arms clasped
around the leg of Il piano upon which
one of the teachers was PLAYING. There
was different look in Mickey's eye
from that day. ard when on another
occasion some one gave him a bunch
of lilies of the valley. and, smelling, he
exclaimed that somethin' was singin' a
song with his nose, we felt, said the
narrator, that the harmony of Gods
music and Gods fragrance had
smoothed the rough and stony path
way to Mickey's heart. IN Y. Ift-

Stanley's First F'iancee.

Stanley had matrimonial affair OF
which he himself told. / think it was
in '67 or '68, says a correspondent
anyway, it was about the time of his
affair in Asia Minor-that he stopped
for few weeks on one Of the 1onian
Islands. He met there a beautiful
Greek girl. to whom he took a fancy.
He couldn't speak her language, nor
she his; but, with the aid of an inter-
prefer he asked for and obtained her
hand. The girls family was of the
best, and when the wedding day came
great preparations for the bridal event
were made. Stanley took his stand
beside his bride that was to be, and
everything was in readiness for the
ceremony-at least; so he thought. 1t
happened though, that it was custom
airy in the islands for the prospective
husband to hand over to the father of
his fiancee, prior to the marriage, a
sum of money in proportion to the
beauty, rank and accomplishments of
his expected bride. as a sort of recon-
pense to her father for the loss of his
daughter and the cost of bringing her
up. Stanley knew nothing of this ex-
pectation, and, of course. made no
move to hand over. Finally. the hard
but business-like father beckoned the
interpreter and quietly told him to re-
mind Stanley that he was overlooking
an important feature of the marriage
proceedings. The Interpreter COM
piled. When he had made his message
clear to Stanley. the destined explorer
of worldwide fame pushed aside his
affianced bride, to the amazement of
the gathered throng, drew the inter-
prefer by the arm to the presence Of
the puzzled father and in his most in
dignant fashion ordered the interpreter
to convey to his Observation-Disclosures
the message: Sir, | came here to
marry, not to buy, your daughter"
So it happens that Henry M. Stanley
has welded Miss Dorothy Tenant.
