The democratic party has never been
sectional in its policy, and win not ~
this late day follow the example of the
republicans ia that respect, and
all reports to the contrary may be set
down as emanating from republican,
sources, and as being circulated solely
in the hope of creating dissention in
the ranks of the victorious democratic
party. Every democrat with whom
have talked about the spsakership is
actuated by the same idea, and That

arduOus and eXacting dutic5 Of she
position; a man with ability and parli-
amentary experience. ana withall, Il
man whe is at ali times cool-headed
and who will make no mistakes that
can be used against the party in 1892.
There is, and viii he, no fight in the
party oyer this or any other position.
1t is perfectly natural that there should
be an honorable and good -natGred
rivalry to obtain this, the most i'm
pOrtant position under our form of
government, not excepting the presi-
dency- in the shaping and controlling

Nimble Chinese Reporters.

The Chinese language as the natives
use it has great force, tiuency, and di-
rection. 1t is practical rs the nation is
practical. and those who use it are too
independent to abandon the speech and
writing handed down to them through
SO long a line of ancestors. 1t will be
made the medium of instruction in
science and is very suitable for becom-
ing SO. They have contractions for all
their characters which foreign students
do not trouble themselves to learn. but
the use of which in fact qualities the
Chinese to become shorthand reporters
of speeches in their own language.
They do not practice speech-making,
but if they did and if the native news
papers formed staff of shorthand re-
porters they would not need to learn
any foreign system. They can report
quite fast enough themselves with a
little practice, and they write the con-
fractions with wonderful quickness.
Their hand muscles are pliable. their
fingers small. and the writing brush
they employ is an instrument superior
in speed to the steel pen or the quill.
The scribes at an imperial audience
probably write all or nearly all that is
said. Scribes who are paid by the
piece get through large amount Of
copying in short time. Yet let no
one expect teacher who is paid by
the month to write fast. He has every
reason to be slow. But copyists. paid
30 much for thousand characters, try
naturally to transcribc as many thous-
ands in week as they can. The rapid
work of such copyists, especially if they
are allowed to use contractions. favors
the conclusion that by using Chinese
characters specialists could easily write
all that a good speaker says. As to
whether they could compete with the

THAT WALK THROUGH THE

Together we walked in the evening t,ma,
Above us the skv spread golden clear.
And he bent his head and looked in my ~ es,
Az II he held me of all most dear.
Oh, it was sweet III the evening time!
And our pathway went through the fields of
wheat;
Narrow that path md rough the way.
But he was near, and the birls sang true,
And the stars came out in the twilight gray,
Oh, it Was sweet in the evening time
Softly he spoke Of the days long past,
Softly of blessed days to be;
Close 10 his arms. aud closer pressed,
The corn-ied path was Eden to me.
Oh. it was sweet in the evening time!
Grayer the twilight grew, and grnycr still.
The rocks fitted home through the purple
shade,
The nigh tingales sang where the thorns stood
As walked with him in the woodland
glade,
OH it was sweet in the evening time!
And the latest CLEANS Of daylight died;
My hand in his embodied lay;
We swept the dew from the wheat as We
passed,
For narrower, narrower wound the way,
Oh. it was sweet in the evening time!
He looked in the depth Of my eyes, and said:
Sorrow and gladness will come Tor us,
sweet:
But together we'll walk through the fields Of
life
Close as we walked through the fields of
wheat"

The June Bug Rampant.

The bug is a very useful insect, but
how Objectionable it can make itself
on occasions was shown by IN Incl
dent which occurred one night on
the Central railrond Of New Jersey.
The milk train was carrying two
passenger coaches behind the milk
cars, and as the night was warm
the half dozen passengers aboard
had the windows all raised. The
train had been standing on a
side track few minutes when q
swarm OF large June bugs, attracted
by the car lights, flew In through the
windows. In five minutes the seats
were nearly covered with bugs, and
they began to crawl around the legs
ofthe passengers and to prove other
wise unpleasantly officiOus. In five
minutes the insects had possession of
the two cars and the passengers turn.
ed out. The problem which now
presented itself was how to get the
pests out of the cars before the train
started. A FIRE was suggested, ard
while the passengers gathered brush
wood and kindled a roaring blaze,
one of the brakemen went into the
cars and, put the lights out. The
ruse Was succe ssful, the bugs deserted
the cars and the passengers went
back, shut down the windows and sat
in darkness until the train started
