Boys Clothes Found.

Yesterday evening, at about sum
down, some small boys informed VIM.
Haynes that they had found two
suits of boys clothing on the river
bank near the lower pump-house of
the Water company. Haynes went to
the place designated and found two
waists, one white, the other red with
figures represen ting guitars on it,and
two pair of knee pants, and q hat,
lying on the bank In two bundles,
partly inside-out. as though

and after making inquiries as took

at one or two places he was told
that negro woman and q Mexican
woman had been looking for two boys
about 8 years. This Is about the
age of the owners of the clothing, but
nothing more was heard of in regard
to them being lost.
No children have been, up to this
time, reported lost.

Senator Faulkner leaps to the front
in the Register and denies in general
terms the statement made by D. McD.
Lindsey with regard to the alleged
scheme to colonize and africanize West
Virginia. 1t was not expected that Mr..
Faulkner would admit the truth of the
accusation. He provided against ex-
posure as wellas he could by writing no
letters, and this significant fact was
commented on in the INTELLteENcER
along with the publication Of Mr.. Lind
sey's story. Senator Faulkner had cast
an anchor to windward.
Notwithstanding Senator Faulkner's
denial he leaves good deal to be de-
MED. He does not say why he paid
Lindsey money, and why it was, in all
this great Republican scheme, mob ody
but himself, a Democrat, paid Lindsey
one cent to carry the job through on
the line of colonizing and africanizing
the state. sF
Is it tho habit Of sane Democrats to
put up money to carry through Repub-
lican jobs2 Has Mr.. Faulkner ever
done this in any other matter at any
other time of his life? Or has he only
entered on this philanthropic career Of
furnishing money to help Republicans
carry the state OF West Virginia.
Senator Faulkner is coming this way
and no doubt he will find it con-
venient to take Mr. Lindsey's state
ment apart line by. line and make the
best defense ho can for himself, Mean
while, West Virginia Republicans are
quite satisfied to have Senator Faulk-
ner where circumstances and his ann
bition have placed him. 1t is not a
nice place he is in, but he made his own
bed and will have to lie in it.

President Harrison has lost loving
wife, the companion OF his long and
fruitful career; his children have lost a
good mother, and the people OF the
United States typical wife and mother.
No higher homage can be paid to any
woman than to say this OF her, and be
able to say it truthfully. Close to her
husband in public station, Mrs. Harri-
son was ever plain, modest, unasum-
ing American woman. Her good heart
moved her to many noble deeds, but
for these she shudned publicity,and her
many acts Of kindnessw were known only
to those nearest her.
It was conspicuous through her life
in the white house that she made moth
ing out Of being "the first woman in the
land" title which some persons are
anxious to press upon the Presidents
wife, to which SO sensible a woman as
Mrs. Harrison would mover give counte-
nance. She thought it enough to be the
wife of her husband, and whether he
was struggling lawyer, fighting sol
der, senator or President, to act well
her part as a plain American wife.
She never desired to be the leader OF
brilliant social circle, to set the lash
ions. to DO quoted as the authority in
sneh matters. She was content to pre-
side in nor own place over her hus-
bands household, whether that were in
indianapolis or Washington, the hum

the people for their President.

away and this is the wife whom the

Mr.. Harrity, chairman OF the Demo-
cratic national committee and secretary
OF the commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
seems to be very fertile in expedients.
He has another scheme for disfran.
chising voters in his state. In at least
two districts there are Independent
Republican candidates for Congress, and
where this occurs he makes enough
trouble over the ticket to delay print
ing it.
The supposition is that Mr.. Harrity
has made up his mind that there shall
be no tickets in these congressional dis
tricts. II Mr.. Harrity were Republi-
can all the Mugwumps in the country
would be on his back; first for holding
on to his Office as secretary of the
commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and
next for trying to take an unfair advant-
age OF the voters of his state.
Mr.. Harrity being what he is, and the
Mugwumps being what they are, and
all Of them being for Clevelayd, there
are no criticisms from that source and
Mr.. Harrity, like Mr.. Cleveland, con-
tinues to be regarded as better than his
party. This is fortunate for both of
these men.

The resolutions introduced into
Council last evening to investigate the
conduct Of the affairs of the city gas
office were not treated with the consid-
Grafton which the gravity OF the case
demands. To refer Mr.. Frarzheim's
personal petition to the gas trustees
and committee on lights, may be right,
as its contents seemed to affect him
only. The other paper is of a
different character, involving the
methods Of business used by the
board OF trustees of the gas works, and
the proposition made in seeming seri-
business to have an inquiry by body Of
which those trustees should be mem
bers, might be regardedas jest if there
were not an apparent purpose to accom-
plish something. A proposition to have
officials investigate themselves need
but be described. Comment would be
wasted, to convey any clearer view Of
the situation.
The other significant fact about the
proceedings is that the motion to table
the resolutions was lost when the mem
bers' votes we're recorded, and carried
when the yeas and nays were not taken.
Here again the proceeding demands no
comment The story, as told else
where, Of the action OF council suggests
its own meaning and its own moral to
every reader.

Democratic Fine Work in New York.
1t is even palmer now than it was a
few weeks ugo why the Democratic
newspapers OF New York jumped on
Mr.. Martin, OF Philadelphia, who was
called to the metropolis by the Repub.
lican managers for a special lineo work.
Everything that could be thought of to
say against a man was said against Mr..
Martin. 1t was even represented that
this wicked Pennsylvania had come
over to New York to steal that great
state for the Re publican party.
Mr.. Martin is beginning to show what
he is there for. For weeks he has had
force of men watching Democratic
movements. They have not been so
much on guard IN front OF the brown
stone houses of Fifth avenue as in those
regions which-the New York Demo-
crazy practically owns, where popula.
ton teens, where men are packed like
herring in a barrel, and where the.
Democratic managers have expected to
find as much majority as they might
need to. overcome the Republican ma
jority that would sweep down on them
from above the Harlem river,
Mr.. Martin has begun to cause arrests
to bemade, and it is his purpose to.have
more made. He has discovered that in
one place from which two hundred per-
sons were registered only twenty lawful
voters resided. In another house, out
of the registration of one hundred
men, it is found that only ten are
qualified voters.
In each Of these cases the proportion
of honest voters to voters who do not
exist, is oneto ten. Iffor every qualified
Democratic voter in New York City ten
Democratic ballots are deposited, it
would be very easy thing to pile up
such majority in the city as could not
be overcome by. rural New York with
all Pennsylvania to help her.
The Republican managers, thanks to
Mr.. Martins efforts, think they have
made arrangements that will prevent
this wholesale fraudulent assault on
the ballot box in the city Of New York.
1t is to be hoped they have.
From the fire the Democratic news
papers are keeping up on Mr.. Martin,
it is reasonable inference that they,
too, think there is some ground for this
hope. The arrests made in Alabama
and likely to be- made elsewhere in the
state indicate that the Democratic
managers do not intend to rely alto
gether on New York City; perhaps be-
cause they have discovered that they
are being too closely watched there to
carry out in that one locality their
whole design.
