The Baby.
BY X. j. BURDETTE.

The little. tottering baby feet,
With faltering steps and slow,
With pattering echoes soft and sweet,
Into my heart they 60;
They also go, IN a iny plays,
In muddy pools and dusty ways,
Then through the house In trackful maze
They wander to and fro.
The baby hands that clasp my neck
With touches dear to me
Are the same hands that smash and wrecl
The inkstand foul to see;
They pound the mirror with cane,
They rend tbs manuscript In twain,
Widespread destruction they Ordain
In wssteful Jubilee.
| The dreamy, murm'ring voice
That COOS Its little tune.
| That makes my listening heart rejoice.
Like birds In lesfy June,
Can wake In midnight, dark and still,
Aud all the air with howllDg fll,
That splits the ear with echoes shrill,
Like c0Tnets out of time.

The Laporing Man.

The noblest men who live on earth.
Are those whose hands are brown with toi
who, backed by no ancestral graves,
Hew down the woods and I'LL the soil;
And view thereby prouder name
Than follows kings or warriors fame.
The working men. what e'er their task,
Who carry the stone or bear the hod,
They wear upon their honest brows
The royal stamp and seal OF God;
And worthiey are their drops OF sweat
Than diamonds in q coronet.
God bless the noble working men,
Who rear the cities of the plain;
Who dig mines. who build the ships,
And drive the commerce Of the mains.
God bless them tor their toiling hands
Have wrought the glory of all lands.

rors with Bill Anderson anu S5uu4IR&Its,
As Mir. Halstead is confronted by these
evidences Of treason il will be hard in
deed TO convince him that IL is not the
wear of pes(lhion 1862 instead of the
year q! grace 1890.
iieyond doubt suehi sad scenes can
be witnessed daily, not only In Mis-
souri, hut in Arkansas, Kentucky aud
all the southern sti tes. And more
sorrow!ul is the reflection that little
republican boys IN the south have
become expert in the enuGciatiOn OF
this awful rebel yell. True, tLey do not
give IL with the same dastardly purpose
which characterizes the Efforts Of little
democratic boys, but is il moi playing
with fire, toying with thing accursed,
trifling with supervision of tue pur-
est principles of lie 2What wonder that
MIR. Halstead pricks up his ears ana
thai Colonel Shepard calls for troops.
! II is aa pity that Mr.. Porter did not
,nclude in his census list the question,
"Do yon give the rebel yell Prize would
have ascertalned that this peculiar cry
| Is surprisingly common i'm the south
and south est, quite as common per-
hans as are persimmons and hickory
nuis. Were he to ask little democratic
how the nature OF the cry 1T is not likely
that the little democratic boy would
stand up proudly and say: "That is the
rebel veil" But then it is the nature OF
little democratic boys to dissemble. Ii
the little democratic boys did not dis-
sembie MIR. Halstesd and Colonel
Shepard would be obliged TO go out Of
business, and that would be very bad
for this distracted country.
Grave fears may be expressed that
MIR, Halstead, who 10 getting on In
wears, will never live TO see the extinc-
ton of that baneful utterance known as
the rebel yell. Under the circumstances
the best thing to do will be TO intro
duce a bill in congress changing Its
name. In place OF calling 1t rebel
veil, call it a patriotic cry. As II 10
mere matter OF sentiment 1t 10 plain
that the change of name will remove alb
offensive qualities. 1t Is strange that
so simple a remedy should not have
suggested itself to a statesman ss
sagacious as MIR. Hslstead.

in any one year since the state banks

We find this in republican psper:-
Gone OF the most intelligent leaders of
the labor party said few days ago:
'There never was time in the history
of theworld when the purchasing power
of money was so great in connection
with the earning power of a working

good mechanic now earns SO day. With
that $3 he can buy food and clothing
at lower price than at any time since
1859, and in 1859 good mechanic
could not earn more than 81 a day
Well, suppose all this to be true, you

Mr.. Halstead has pricked up his ears
in this balmy month Of June just In
time to catch the expiring echoes of the
rebel yell. At first it was considered
not improbable that Mr.. Halstead, Ia

misIed by the noise of the Harvard

the frogs OF Aristophanes, or the ''siss.

college cries which resOund along the

fields. But MIR. Halstead gives indu-
bitable proof that the yell he hears is
the simon pure rebel yell, a reasonable
cry specially devised to break up the
Cni.ed States government and employ
ed at this late day TO show the most
ntter and ineffable contempt for the
United States authority.

WOULD NOT KISS THE BIBLE.

A Clergyman Who Refused to Make
Oath Before n Registry Board. ~.
NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-The Rev. Madison
G. Peters, the young pastor Of tho Bloom
ingdale Reform church at Broadway and
West Sixty eighth street, is a clergyman
who believes it the duty of every citizen to
cast vote in city and state elections. He
objects, however, to the mode of procedure
of the registry boards, and created scene
at the polling place in his election district
by refusing to take the oath and swear as to
his citizenship and place of residence. The
Rev. MIR. Peters lives in the Nineteenth as
sembly district, and the polling place of his
election district is IN the rear of the station
cry and candy store at No. 1877 Western
boulevard. It was presided over yesterday
by I. E. Senior. chairman of the board
of registration. There was the usual
number of inspectors in attendance, and
they were seated around a table when Mr..
Peters came in to register. Chairman Sem
Tor was at one time sexton of the Blooming
dale church, but is not now on the best Of
terms with its pastor. Possibly it was on
this account that ho asked the Rev, Peters
to take the oath.
II refuse to take any OATH" replied the
clergyman vehemently, land particularly
any oath that such as you may administer -
The inspectors looked up from their books
in wonder.
"Then cannot register you" replied the
chairman.
Cannot register me p stormed MI. Peters
'You all know who am. A pretty Get of
loafers You men are to question my right to
register and to insist that kiss the Holy
Book, the dirty covers Of which there is no
telling how many tobacco-lipped mouths
- IL A1-~- l-RA
an hour later he called again.
II insist upon" he said, "you registering
my name. refuse to take any oath, but
will simply affirm who and what am and
that should be enough for clergyman
After a little hesitation the chairman and
his assistants decided to register the clcr-
gyman's name. Yesterday afternoon re-
porter called upon Mr.. Peters at his resi-
dence at Broadway and Sixty-eighth street.
Eyes, did refuse to take an oath before
the chairman in charge Of the registration
office in this election district" said Mr..
Peters. I'm the first place / refused be-
ing the Bible or in swearing by It except on
unusual and solemn occasions, and in the
second place refused to have my word
stunned by lot of men such as were en-
ployed at this registration bureau.
Kissing the Bible is relic

healthy by the constant handling and kiss

such an action does not make man tell the

repeat that the oath is too common in
our courts. Oaths are curses nowadays.
II the oath is administered at all it should
be done in most solemn manner and not
by lot of men who know nothing of its
meaning" and the Rev. Mr.. Peters brought
his fist down upon the table of his desk
with an energy which indicated that he
meant every word he said.

A WHOLESALE WINE ROBBERY


The Stolen Property Found In Butte and
". y. Baker Under Arrest.
In the early part Of tho month. the ware
house Of J. Switzer, ON Park. avenue. was
broken into and six or seven cases Of cham
paxne were stolen. Mr.. Switzer notified
Marshal Cronin Of what happened. He
could not imagine how tho robbery was
done, as there were no evldenoes of the
place having been broken into. Entrance
was undoubtedly effected through the front
door. Nothing was said about the matter,
but a still hunt was made throughout the
city to see if the wine was being sold in any
saloon, but no trace Of it could be found
A few days ago travelling man who repre-
sents an eastern wine and LIQUOR firm, be-
ing told Of the theft by Mr.. Switzer, prom
ised to keep lookout for him. He went
to Butte and there discovered some of the
wine.
Marshal Cronin was notified and he wired
the chief Of police at Butte to arrest w. H.
Baker, who was discovered to have the
stolen wine. The Butte service of the Ana
conda Standard tells OF Bakers arrest as
follows: For some time slick young fell
low. by the name of w. FL. Baker. has been
selling wine by the case to retail dealers
about the city. He claimed to be an agent
of an eastern wholesale house and kept his
wine stored in Mercury street cellar. He
had been seen taking cases out of this place
between u and one o'clock at night on sew
eral occasions. While this was q somewhat
suspicious fact, there were no other grounds
for supposing that he was not in a legiti-
mate business, and 80 he was allowed to 90
on.
ITO might the chief of police received in
structions to at once arrest Baker as he
was wanted at Helena for getting away
with seven cases of wine. Chief Carroll re
ceived the telegram about nine o'clock and
had his man corralled an hour later. He
found HIM in the Combination gambling
house. When arrested Baker had the nerve
to ask to be released on his own recogniz-
ance, but he waa instead taken to the court
house.
Baker was apparently not little rufied
by his arrest, but said that he could prove
that he was legitimately employed as he
has claimed. Before he was locked up to-
night, he telegraphed to brother in Toston
to meet him at Helena to- morrow, az he
was in trouble"
Marshal Cronin went to Butte yesterday
after Baker. and will return this morning
with his man. It is believed that some
other arrests will follow, as it is claimed
Baker was not alone in the robbery.
