SWEET DOROTHY.
She adds not to my worldly store


She adds not to my worldly store ~
OF stlyer or Of gold,
The burdens that are mine to bear
Her dimpled shoulders can not share,
Nor sea-shell tinted fingers hold
One implement OF toll.
Though all the world should go unfed,
She can not give crumb OF bread
To save fainting soul;
zsa4sfsAyetsshe Ia SO dear to me.
My fair-faced baby, sweet Dorothy,
In glad content her aimlcss life
Flows on from day TO- day;
What though wit mad ambition rife,
And half distraught with toll and strife,
Along the hurrying, crowded way
Humanity sweeps on
Enough that In the arms OF Love
She safely rests-Day white-winged dove,
MY benediction GROWN!
z So-aesif, SO very dear To me,
My smiling babe, sweet Dorothyi
She Is the chosen household queenl
The sovereign by acclaim
4 More loyal subjects meier, ween,
In courtly palace have been seen,
Nor tones more loving called a name,
ia refine, viye la reinei" -
Her every wish a law must be.
To-day the baby smiled on me-"
The evenings glad refrain
SO dear to also dear to me-
The household pet, sweet Dorothy
You ask me why she is so dear,
This little helpless child?
Draw close to me, almost fear
Lest angels listening, too, should hear,
And, from the realms of day begui1ed,
Should come to claim their own.
Why is she dear? can not tell
our hottest thoughts and feelings dwell
In depths to words unknown
only know as life to me,
SO dear my child, sweet Dorothy
And when across my path there strays
n A woman, worn and sad,
Whose empty arms and hungry eyes
Tell me, by intuition wise,
The babe that made her young heart glat
Has passed beyond the years,
long by hand clasp to reveal
The sympathy that now feel,
And kiss away her tears.
rs dear her babe as mine to me,
My winsome child, sweet Dorothyi
And when again ! clasp the form
So dear, upon my breast,
And feel the clfnging fingers warm,
And know that sheltered there from harm
My gentle babe can sweetly rest
/ feel a sudden thrill,
So deep IL is akin to pain;
And once and twice, and yet again
My lips with praises fill:
Thanks, Father, for this gift to me,
My heaven-sent child, sweet Dorothy.

An Extraordinary Scene,

There was an extraordinary scene IN
the House of representatives Wednesday
the 23d inst when the Legislative
Appropriation bill was under consideration.
Mr. Kelly of Kansas, had obtained the
floor to explain why it Is that the mall
service is bad In some Of the Southern
States. He showed that this is due to
the fact that the Postmasters appointed
by the President or by the Post Oflces
Department had, In many cases, been
killed or msltreated. One of the customs
on the part of the whites in some local.
ties In the South where colored men have
been appointed to fourth class Post
Offices is to shoot at them and to whip
them with barbed wire. Mr.. Kelly read
an affidavit from Postmaster appointed ct
Abbeville, South Carolina. In which 1t
was demonstrated that the Postmaster
had been attacked by the mob, at the head
of which was the son of q Representative
In Congress, had had his leg broken and
had become paralyzed as the results of
his injuries. To all of this the only
Democratic answer consisted Of taunts
and jeers. The reading of the affidavit
which set forth this outrage was even
applanded on the Democratic side Of the
House, and 30 marked was this demonstra.
ton in this respect that Mr.. Rowell of
Illinois, Chairman of the Committee ON
Elections, could not refrain from calling
public attention to the fact that the only
answer which the Democrats In the
House of Representatives made to the
proof of an attempted murder of 4
colored Republican United States ofaclal
was applause. The Democrats privately
admit in many Instances that 1t is their
purpose not To permit colored men to hold
the Pos; Offices In the Southern States.
The provisions of the United States
Constitution guaranteeing the rights of
citizenship are treated as not entitled to
consideration; at all events, the leading
Democrats from the South take this po-
sltion in private and In part In public
debate, that they do not intend to respect
hese provisions OF the United States
Constitution upon this subject. The
problem does not seem to he any nearer
solution than it ever has been. The
Democrats no longer attempt to deny the
existence of these outrages They admit
them and they ask the people Of this
country what they are going to do about
1t. The Republican majority In Congress
will attempt to answer that question by
the National Election bill, which 1t may
be expected will be reported to the
Senate from the Committee on Elections
at an early day.

An English Definition Of Free Trad,

Democratic editors and politicians who
go into raptures over the working of free
trade In England as they survey 1t at q
distance of three thousand miles can pro-
ttably ponder the remarks Of an English
public man, who sees 1t at close quarters
This Is what free trade In England means,
as 1t is analysed by Sir Edward Sullivan :
Free trade means untaxed foreign
competition. Foreign competition means
competition In chespness competition In
cheapness means competition In cheap
labor; competition in cheap labor means
competition in flesh and blood; and CON-
petition In flesh and blood Is slavery.
Excessive competition is the greatest
curse that can be imposed on working
community. The unrestricted competi-
I ttficn Ct the whole world is rapidly making
the conditions N Edg As sa labor !mpossi-
Bile Cheap clothing and cheap food are
OF no value II human labor is cheaper
still. Excessive cheapness Is of no value
to the community without employment.
Employment means cheapness. Those
who have employment can buy. Those
who have not employment cannot buy.
Free trade means cheapness to the
rich, the oilers, those with fixed incomes,
but longer hours, lower wages, harder
work to the workers. The workers are
twenty to one to the ldlers, und, there
fore -free trade sacrifices the interests of
the nineteen to the interests of the one"
No more overwhelming arraigument of
the terrible results of England's selfish
and frantic race for cheapness has ever
been uttered by any American protection
LIST. And yet 1t is this system, which In
Sir Edward Sullivan's words Is "rapidly
making the conditions of English labor
impossible" that the arrogant Southern
politicians are trying to force upon the
labor of America.-Er.

Original Packages.

The United States Supreme court
through Chief Justice Fuller, has rend-
cred an opinion adverse to the constitu-
tionality of State laws providing for the
seizure of liquor brought into the State
In original packages. Such laws, the
court holds, are an Interference with in
ter-state commerce. After the liquor be-
comes the property Of the importer, tho
State may be authorized under it. police
powers to regulate or prohibit the sale,
but 1t has no power In the absepcs Of
the express Congressional authority, to
prohibit the transportation Of tho article
from another State and its delivery
to the importer. The case was brought on
appeal from the supreme court of Iowa
and .this court reverses the derision of
the State court. Justice Gray, Harlan
and Brewer discussed.
