Fer heart was 50 full of this feeling
that when the hour of dismissal came
she did not pass out with the othsr
girls, but remained behind under pre-
tense Of putting her desk in order.
While thus busy, Becky, tho jsnitress,
came into the room and began plying
her broom at her very best speed.
Becky was great favorite with tho
schoolgirls, and they had allowed her
to treat them with . Familiarity that
often overstepped tho bounds OF strict

Addie stood transfixed, too bewildered

hands to her head and face.
Becky dropped her broom and, clap
ping her hands on her hips, she looked
for moment at the bewildered girl.
Then she gave a ringing laugh.

Senator Morgan's Mistake.

We look upon the silver question as
Having been shelved for the present. 1t
will probably not be the cause of any le-
Cislation during the current session of Con-
Cress. This does not mean that in either
house of Congress members can be pre-
vented from airing their financial theories,
hut merely that the Democratic National
Convention will not insert pro-silver
plank in its platform. The Democratic
Headers can hardly be expected to turn the
Chicago convention into silver assem-
blaee in view of the recent votes in the
House Of Representatives upon the Ques-
tion of side-tracking free coinage for the
present.
Nevertheless, it cannot too often be re-
peated that to provide for purchasing sill

sibility. seeing that real free coinage con-
sists in coming into money all the metal

We have no theories on this subject
which will not yield to arguments or to
facts. We have never gone further than

which might do good, and would not do
much harm-a measure which would by its
operation lead to universal currency.

Not the Same Case.

The Maryland Legislature having last

Confederate Soldiers Home. the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette comments a. follows:
"Mr. German has Just passed through his
Legislature bill appropriating $1,000 for the
MARYLAND Confederate Soldiers Homo, an insti-
tuition established and heretofore maintained
by charity. During the consideration Of the bill
n Nj. Pearce proposed 70 amend It by making .
small appropriation for a Union soldiers home,
but this was immediately voted down. BY this
southern heart and enhanced his presidential
possibilities IN that section. But how win sho

II the northern Democrats or the north
ern Republicans possess any of the ordi-
nary feelings Of humanity. they Will re-
joice 70 know that thcse poor Confederate
soldiers have had this little sum of money
given TO them. Their case Is totally dif-
fersnt from that Of the northern soldiers.
The latter are cared for in Soldiers Homes
and with pensions BY the Federal
Government. and tho southern people are
taxed to help pay the amount appropriated
70 the northern soldiers. The Confeds-
rates are cared Tor by nobody. Tho few

Legislatures appropriate annually or occs-

poor Confederatss have bestowed upon

Henrico Leads of for Hill.

The CLEVELAND men were defeated in
the Henrico convention yesterday. and o
full delegation Of friends and admirers OF
HrrL was elected to the State convention,
which will meet at Richmond on May
18th.
As between CLEVELAND and HnlL the
delegates certainly prefer Hill but they
are uninstructed.
The convention was composed OF good
and true Democrats. Many of them were
amongst the leaders In the noble night
made year ago. when Henrico was res
cued from the Republicans and put In the
possession of the Democrats. That they
will honestly and correctly represent coun-
~ sentiment We do not doubt, and that
those whom they have chosen so to do wili
faithfully and iutcllgently speak for their
countymen In the Richmond convention is
equally certain.

The Counting of the Ballots.

The fourteen hours Of polling OF the
Democratic primary election OF Tuesday
and the great number of votes cast, threw
THE count of the large precincts late INTO
the night, or into the morning rather, ana
imposed upon the officers of electiona very
severe strain. :,
The stress Of the situation also foil hard
upon newspaper reporters, compositors'
stereotypers, and pressmen. and harder
still upon the candidates, who were kept
IN prolonged suspense. and whose hopes
and fears were made TO alternate by the
rumors that spread thick and fast.
To serve the public promptly and eff

wesried out with fourteen hours work in
receiving the ballots. they are then COM
PEELED to enter upon o count which Will
consume from FIVE to ten hours more. Fa-
tigued as they are, impatient to get
through with their work and return to
their homes, as often they must be, they
cannot perform their duty with the accu-
racy and celebrity that could and would
be expected Of fresh men.
Don't let US have another primary
after this fashion. The assessments made
upon the candidates entering the primary
race yield enough money to justify the
City Committee In employing O sufficient
force to 90 the counting rapidly and well.
1t would be perfectly practicable to have
. white ballot containing the names OF the
candidates for the general Offices and red
ballot containing the names of aldermen,
councilmen. and justices. Then as soon
as the polls were closed the red ballots could
be picked out from the pile and handed
over to special judges to be counted while
the white ballots we're being counted by
fhe regular judges. In tins way double
speed and greater accuracy could be se-
cured, and we believe that once tried the
plan would never be abandoned.
We hope that the City Committee will
adopt such a system for the next munich
pal primary.
