THE RECORD UNION has not heretofore
deemed it necessary to make mention of
any of the candid ates for local judicial po-
sitions, but the situation concerning the
candidacy of one aspirant is such, that re-
gard for common decency in politics de-
mands reference to it at this time. G. W.
Baker is a nominee for Justice upon the
disorganizer ticket and has received the
Endorsement of the Democratic Committee
also. Mr. Baker went before the P.epubli-
can Convention last summer and solicited
nomination for the place he is now run
nirg for. He took the stand before the
&c rention and pledged himself to support
= .he ticket that should be made. He was
beaten by another candidate. Mr.. Baker
is now found running in opposition to the
ticket he promised to support. When the
greed for Office is such as to lead to breaches
of this kind, it ought to be sufficient to in
sure the showing under of the candidate
who is guilty of the disloyalty.

DARWIN has held that music originates
in the amatory class of vocal noises. In
the Popular ScienceMOnthly, paper by
Herbert Spencer is published taking issue
with this view. Spencer claims, and with
better reason, that music results from, or
has its germs in the sounds which the
voice emits under excitement. That is to
say, the whole body of music is emotional,
and has its origin, therefore, in the emo
lions, while Darwin insists that sounds
which are prompted by the amatory feel
ing only originate musical utterance. That
Mr.. Spencer has the best of the case is APP
parent. 1t needs no elaborate argument to
prove his position to be the stronger. The
root of all musical expression, no matter
how many phases it assumes, is in the
emotional nature, and it is from that fact
that music appeals so directly to the emo
tional sentiment.

Alfred Cash stood, pale and stupefied,
against the frescoed wall of the hallway OF
an H-street mansion.
The drawing room was filling with
guests. Still others were hurrying in light
wraps to the dressing rooms.
1t was reception night in honor of the
fair Clara Keenostril The beautiful girl,
Respondent in diamonds and other essen

lover.

And with an imperious gesture OF her

while her glowing bosom heayed with tu-
multuous emotion.
Out into the night the young man went,
and barred his fevered brow to the western
breeze, waited over the Yolo tules laden
with the saline qualities of the distant
Pacific.
Down he sat him upon the curb, his
spike coat-tails carefully parting, and
nursing his bewildered head between his
hands he thought, and thought.
He recalled that as the sable lackey
bowed him out he saw Hardcheek, the
tall, sallow, sinister hotel clerk, his hated
rival, bowling over the jeweled hand of the
beautiful Clara.
Then an idea struck him-hard. 81

wrong in the mouth, was an elegant gentle
man, and genial beyond compare, told the
young man to instruct his friend to SIM

and then when an enemy, or an intended
visitor presented himself all that was
necessary was to glance at him.
Alfred Cash paid the S17.S90 20 de-

parents-and left the place rejoicing.

Rev. JOSEPH V. TRACEY, S. S., has
written long essay, and contributed it to
the Catholic Quarterly Reciew, on the ques-
ton: "Was Saint Paul Married?" 1t is a
sharp review of Cannon Farrar's position
that Saint Paul was a widower when he
wrote the Epistles, and that as member
of the Sanherdrin he must have been a
married man. Rev. Mr. Tracey disputes
the proposition, and holds that there are
no sufficient proofs to maintain it. But
after reading the fourteen pages of the
essay one is led to exclaim: "What of it ?'
What difference does it make now, or did
it ever, whether Paul was benedict or
bachelor?
