Certain Republicans Of Ward who were

Certain Republicans Of Ward who were
delegates to the convention that nominated
candidates for representatives to the legis'a-
ture have issued circular urging Republic
cans to cut the name Of Mr.. Cunningham
from the representative ticket 1t seems to
us that this movement is without justifica-
tion. The gentlemen whose names are at
tached to the circular were part of the con-
vention that selected the ticket, and they
would appear to be under obligation
to abide by the result of that convention un-
less they can show that Mr.. Cunningham is an
unfit man TO represent the city In the iegisla-
ture. The mere fact that in their opinion
somebody else might represent 1t better is
not enough to Justify their conduct. These
gentlemen can readily see that If every Re-
publican should set up his own personal
opinion as superior to the opinion Of the
majority no ticket could ever be agreed upon
and there never could be that combined ac-
ton which Is an indispensable condition of
success. When man is shown to be un-
fitted either on account Of want of character
or lack of ability for any Office for which he
Is named 1t Is not only justifiable, but COM
mendable, for his party to vote against him.
But the mere fact that he is not as acceptable
to some members of the party as some other
person might be, does not constitute suffi-
sient reason for cutting his name from the
ticket. Vote for Mr.. Cunningham.

of large Republican majority In both

will not justify any Republican who is able

also be Interpreted by the opponents of pro.

extremely important that the majority be

gress, had created doubt or coldness among
the Republican masses Of New England, the
reception given to Thomas B. Reed and

And MT. Reed Is .conspicuously a hero Of

To William Mckinley we owe in large
measure the best tariff bill ever passed BY
an American Congress. which, with minor
changes. Is sure to become law. To Henry
Cabot Lodge we owe the framing of meas
ure which must soon become part of United
States statute law, and which will assure
honest elections instead Of mere farces, In
that section Of the country where the spirit
Of rebellion Is not dead. But the passage of
these two acts and of all the other beneficent
legislation Of which this House has been so
fruitful, Is due almost directly to the infexi-
bic courage of Thomas Reed.
He was overwhelmingly hon0red at Bos-
ton, but not beyond his deserts. At the bal

OF the United States. will re-echo Boston's
applause for men who have the courage Of
their convictions.

The eyes Of the whole country will be on
the First district today. The contest here is
national In Its character. Not only do the
interests Of the Republican party of this
district demand the return of Mr. Reed by
large majority, but the interests of the Re-
publican party of the nation demand it quite
as strongly. Mr.. Reed is a national leader.
By the general consensus Of his party he has
been placed at the head Of movement, aus
piciously begun. to place political power
where 1t was intended to reside, namely. in
the hands of the majority of the people.
The movement is only just begun. and Mr..
Reeds skillful and courageous leadership is
needed to carry 1t to successful conclusion.

cular have been mailed to Republicans all

up and that that man does not care to have

Looking al the matter purely from busi-
NESS stand point, ignoring the question of
poitics altogether. the election of Mr.. Frank
20 Congress would be great mistake. The
FIRST district of Maine has a representative
now second in influence to no man in the
country, and according TO the Democrats
vastly superior to every man. To substitute
for him man unknown outside of the dis
trict and Of unknown capabilities simply De-
cause he is Democrat would be most eyre
gious blunder. No level headed business
man is likely to be guilty of committing 1t.

that the judiciary committee of the legisl-
ature Of 1887 called their attention to the
incompetency Of the Biddeford court to
naturalize by getting the Hon. John C. Tai
bot to say that he does not remember the
occurrence. This is slim kind of testimony
with which to impeach Mr.. Heath's positive
statement. But 1t is the best they can do.

the timid deer, they were not bit
afraid. Even the cross bears used to
come to drink, and forgot to be cross
when they went away.
After awhile so many cousins had
joined together, that they were no
longer little, as they were when they
started, and they were now called
stream; but they laughed and jumped
almost as much as ever. One day
the stream heard one tall pine tree
tell another that he was going to the
ocean to live on ship. The little
stream wondered what the ocean was,
and thought it would like to go, too.
So it hurried along as fast as it
could, and, as it got farther and far
ther from home, more streams joined
it and it grew larger and larger. 1t
did not laugh and jump so much as it
did when it was little, but it went
softer, stiller, swifter, deeper. One
day it heard man say he wished he
could turn his mill. wheels. Then the
stream stopped and turned the
wheels. So the man made boards at
his mill, and the stream carried them
to the carpenter, who was waiting to
make houses of them.
AS the stream went along, it left
the mountains far behind and ran
where the ground was flat, and where
men were planting corn, potatoes and
wheat. 1t said 10 a man: elf you
fill a boat, l will carry that for you.
The man said: II will be glad to do
that" So he filled a big boat with
peaches, apples, corn and vegetables,
and the stream carried it to a big
town where the people were glad to
buy these things. So it was always
helping some one, always being kind.
One day it came in sight of the big
ocean, and, sure enough, there was
the tall pine tree on the ship. 1t was
80 glad to see an old friend, and the
ocean looked so beautiful that the
stream ran right into it, and always
lived there after that.-W. w., in

Under my window the nesting birds
Swing and sing, while the children play.
Which is thesweeter, this summer day,
The wordless song, or the song clear words?
Hark to the question, over wise,
That Millicent ponders with half shut eyes,
On her couch of clover, with dew drops
pearled-
IT wonder how did God make the worldY

As blow this bubble here in the sun
Glowing and growing-and, when 1t was

And 1t foated away so far and free,
Green for the land, blue for the sea;
And the soft, white clouds about it curled-
1t was so, l think, that God made the world"
"Nop cries Ned. Gas roll this clay
Soft and brown, in the palm OF my hand,
Shaping the mountains like kings to stand
Crowned with their snow.gems, marking a
way
For the streams to run through valleys deep
To the hollow sea, over plain and steep,
Flnging the forests like flags unfurled-
All that were the way to make the world"
But Milicent smiles to herself the while,
Softly shaking her golden head.
"Last night" she whispers, "awake on my
bed,
I thought of the sweetbrier down by the stile;
And what do you think found to-. day?
But the first pink rose on bending spray;

The Story of a Stream.

A little pool of water once lived on
the side of a mountain, whose top
was cover with snow. 1t had not al
ways lived there; it used to be under
the ground, but it was so dark down
there that it grew tired and sought
new home. 1t pushed and worked a
way, and at last reached the top,
where it filled a little hollow place
about the size of a mush-bowl.
There was quite family of them
father, mother, brothers and sis
tiers. They were all clear, pure and
bright. They were very kind to each
other, and used to laugh and play all
day long. One of their games which
they enjoyed much, was for the
father and mother to jump up softly
and quickly; then they would make
circles around them.
One day the children were playing
little too roughly, and one of them
got pushed out far away from the
others. He stood very still for a
moment, he was so frightened; but,
as he looked about him, the new
world seemed so beautiful that he
grew less timid, and started to run
down the side of the mountain. He
had gone only little way, when he
looked back and saw that some of his
sisters and brothers were following
him; so he stopped and waited for
them. They took hold of hands, and
went down singing, running and
jumping.
AS they went along, they met some
cousins, who joined them. Then they
did have fun. When they came
to rock, they all jumped right
over it. If it was so large that they
were afraid, part Of them would go
on one side and part on the other;
then they would come together again,
and such laughing and talking as
there would be-!
They were so happy that they made
everything about them happy. The
birds build their nests near by, and
took a bath in their waters every day.
The flowers bloomed more sweetly,
because they were close to them; and
how the grass and ferns loved them
