The Child's Face.

There's nothing more pure in heaven,
And nothing on earth more mild,
More full of the light that Is all divine,
Than the smile Of little child
So sweet 1t is, so simple,
And yet SO xngel-wise,
With the peace of God on the dear, smooth brow,
And the love Of Christ in the eyes.
The sinless lips, half parted,
With breath rs sweet as the air,
And the light that seems SO glad to shine
In the gold Of the sunny hair.
0 little one, smile and bless me!
For somehow know not why
feel in my soul, when children smile,
That angels are passing by.
feel that the gates of heaven
Are nearer than knew,
That the light and the hope of that sweeter world.
Like the dawn, are breaking through.

ASininitY,


Washington Special in Pioneer Press:
The Eastern papers are burning with
editorials upon the subject OF
the Minnesota ballot reform, and
the legislature is being criticised or be-
ing made fun of, according to the man
ner in which the different editors are
impressed with the gravity or foolish
ness attached to the proposed law.
There is one feature about the criticism
passed upon the legislature that is not
very flattering to. Minnesotians, as that
body is credited with greater amount
of asininity than any other legislature
that ever assembled. The passage of
the bill through the senate when it
was supposed that it was merely intro
duced as a joke, has excited a great
deal OF comment by the Eastern papers,
as it is now fully believed that the leg
islatOrs intend to enact it,

HOWARD LAKE Herald: The

and the Bull interest bill has not
even been looked at by the senate.
The lobby and paid organs of the

loan concerns are not wasting their
wind and substance for nothing.
The St. Paul of this State, like the
St. Paul Of bible places, is fighting
a good fight and may finish its

with a crown of usury. To sell
out to the usurers, would be the
fitting and browning act of the

is an extract from a letter written
the editor a few days ago by one
of the ablest and purest members
of the State senate: II can tell you
privately, Bob, that the house is
the most rotten and corrupt body
that ever disgraced the capitol.
The: members have been bought
like a flock Of sheep on several
different occasions, for from $25 to
$50 a head. It is appalling that
men should sell out in this way.
But the worst thing about it is the
low value they fix upon their

The Currier r.. r.. bill is now de-

was an extraordinary ruling and in

What Theory is That9

When the Currier railroad bill was
defeated in the house, it was moved to
reconsider the vote, in order to amend
the measure to meet some of the OBJ
jections of those who voted against it..
On the motion to reconsider there were
81 ayes and AZ nays, so that the motion
was clearly carried But Speaker
Champlin, with an exhibition of nerve
that Rocked the friends of the bill silly,
decided the motion lost, as it did not
receive majority of the whole house,
only a majority of those voting. So
the bill was dead beyond resurrection.
This was the rankest kind of decision
and wholly without precedent. Other
bills have been reconsidered in the
house this session by simply a majority
vote of those voting, and that very
same day a bill was defeated in the
senate and then reconsidered by less
than majority of the whole senate
and finally passed. It will be difficult
to make any one believe that Lieut.
Gov. Ives does not know more about
parliamentary law than Champlin.
There are laws now on the statute
books which were passed after a recon
sideration by a vote of less than a ma
jority of the whole house, the present
libel law being one of them. This de-
cision by the very man whom the AL
lance members traded everything in
sight to elect speaker must have made
them exceedingly weary. There is only
one theory on which it could be ex-
planned. -Fd1m1ingt Tribune.
