men of sense. We are of the opinion tina
the conspicuous absence of the Utah boy
from the Liberal parade on New Years
day was an ''eye opener to Chief Carpet

reasons that the Utah boy was left so COM
pletely in the convention.

nary reasoning faculties to put the two
statements together and then say if they
think there is the least truth in the first

that there would have been more than one
Utah boy on the ticket in case there had
been any such number of them in the ranks
of the Liberals as has been claimed.
THE HERALD respectfully commends the
following to the half-dozen Utah boys in
the Liberal ranks, as they may get little
consolation from knowing that one of the
great poets has felt for them and given ex-
preston to his sympathy in words:

SYMPATHY WITH CHILDREN.
Mothers Should Be Cautious of Shaking
Sweet Condolences.

Mothers Should Be Cautious of Shaking
Sweet Condolences.
One of the prettiest sights in the
world is flock of bright, eager children
gathered about a gentle, sympathetic
woman, who has forgotten her cares and
important duties to enter into the pas
times of youth. What divine gift is
sympathy! Every day dawns upon some
interesting and unfamiliar scene, and
speculations crowd their little brains,
and questions rush to their lips without
order or generalization. What makes
their goblets of water ''sweat?''-why do
people have to wear clothes?-Why can't
babies talk?-what are worms good for?
These are some of the queries that assail
the first grown person they can get to
listen. frequently they are hastily
silenced by elders who have no time to
give them; more often they are turned
away because the person addressed does
not know how to answer them. Mothers.
whom thousand frittering cares have
made forgetful of school lore, are called
upon to describe the habits of ants, and
to explain the principle of lightning

one has to discriminate between impor-
tunate chatter and honest curiosity.
But plea for an interested hearing OF
the child's ideas or feelings should not
be disregarded whatever else remains
unfinished. One can not estimate the
effect of cold rebuff upon a sensitive

growing with beauty and alive with
agreeable suggestions, grows suddenly
dark and still, faith dies, and every
thing seems against him. A little SYM

''The Senate of the United States
presents remarkable contrast with that

American legation to Washington Post
reporter, as he eyed critically the vari.
GUS Senators from the gallery. 81 have
heard great many remarks bordering
on reflections about the sleepy pro-
ceedings Of the Senate, but to have that
adjective applied appropriately and lit
orally it should be transferred to the
Brazilian Senate. The cause of this
fact is one which has been instrumental
in bringing about the revolution. In
Brazil Senators hold Office for life, and
take a so-called active part in the legis-
lation of the country SO long as they can
be carried to the Senate chamber and
sit up.

A plan for disposing of sewer-gas pro-

Penn, of Greenwich, England, has come
up again for serious consideration. The
scheme is simple, and as experiment has
shown, effective. Chambers Journal

In connection with the station was
small, neat cottage which the station
man occupied, and where, removed from
the cares of business life, the broken
down merchant made his home in con-
tentment and peace.
The conductor on the train of which
was engineer had at one time been very
intimate in Mr.. Collins family, and he
and the daughter were engaged to be
married. At this time he was supposed
to be quite wealthy, and moved in the
highest circles of society; but when re-
verses visited the family of his be-
trothed, instead of coming forward man
fully, as devoted lover, his visits to
the house ceased, and the engagement
was at once broken off,
And not only that, but when bantered
by his companions he declared his in
tentions had never been serious, and
that he had only flirted with the young
lady to kill time, and that he looked
much higher in his selection of wife.
Amanda, for this was my heroine's
name, was of sensitive nature and felt
the matter keenly, and bitterly resented
the gross injustice done her.
When in company with her father,
about to step on the train, on the night
OF our first meeting, she observed, with
considerable trepidation, that the con-
ductor was none other than her former
suitor, and, desiring to avoid contact
with him, the arrangement was perfect
ed of which the reader has already been
made acquainted.
On the evening of the storm Mr.. Col
Inns was i'll, and his daughter had volun-
teered to take his place and cross the
bridge. While returning she missed her
foot and fell, striking her forehead
against the rail, rendering her quite in
sensible.
The light reflected from the engine
on the broken lantern, which she had
dropped in her fall, had first caught my
attention, and was fortunately the provi-
Dental means of saving her life.
In lifting her from the track, which I
had succeeded in doing not moment
too soon, had fractured my arm, near
the shoulder, and the pain of the injury,
added to the excitement of the occasion,
had caused me to faint.
My fireman shut off steam, rescued US
from our perilous situation, and carried
US into the cattage, where we had been
properly cared for.
Fortunately, passenger on the train
was good engineer, and took charge of
my engine until was to resume the
care of it myself.
OF course, before my convalescence /
had fallen desperately in love with my
fair nurse, and if the reader were to
visit my little cottage to-day he would
hear her say, as she bends over me, with
our boy in her arms: ''My dear, why
don't you cross your It's and dot your i's?'
and look up to the eyes of my gentle
wife, and say:
''Never mind, my love, the printer
will fix it all right, even if he does scold

A stolen seat,

The Springfield. Mass, Republican has been
for years the leading Republican paper east of
New York. and it is yet. The Republican has
o reputation for telling the truth that but few
Republican papers enjoy. This is how the Re
publican describes the theft of seats in the
House by lis own party:
Mr. Turpin of the 4th Alabama district is the
last victim of the elections committee in the
house. Thus the Republican majority has been
increased to 20 of this majority eight were
elected by the people and dozen by the com
mittee on elections. If the House were accus-
toned to give due weight to evidence, Turpin
would NOT be unseated. but the Republican
majority is not apt to consider an election case
on its merits, when these are favorable to IA
Democrat
Turpin's district is very black having some
100 Coz more blacks than whites; the kepubli-
can majority OF the committee assume on the
basis of the censu, of 1880, that there are 270
or SO black voters to 500 white in the district.
1t is of course further assumed that these black
votes are brought out and are all Republicans.
and the white all Democrats; but the secretary
of state reported Turpin's vote to be 8 IT'S and
the tontesi iant. McDuifie b.625. his great fall
ing off in the officially returned Republican
vote is accounted for in two ways. First by the
of number for Turpin. Evidence was pro.
duced to show that the contestant, McDuffe
was in parts of the district very unpopular; it
was also proved that the negroes established
polling places of their own, apart from those
regularly established by law. At these irregu-
lar polls, thousands of Republican votes were
cast. which of course were not counted for any,
body. McDufie was. very probably, response
BILE for much of this irregular voting 1t was
iurther proved that the election was fair and
without intimidation and that tFe Repu lican
election officials were ignorant and 1ncompe-
tent twas also shown that. giving to McOGf
fe every concession to which his evidence
showed him to be entitled, he would even then
fall far short of election. BIT all these facts
counted for nothing. Turpin is Democrat
and must go. although the majority of the elec-
tions committee do not attempt to show how
large the majority of Mchufie was. The case
was decided on general principles.
