REUNITED.

The sullen sea beat upon a rocky coast
Beneath a stormy, leaden bued sky the
deep blue waves seemed almost black, and
near tho land they crawled green with
crests OF cruel white. A narrow strip OF
beach alone remained uncovered.
Along the white shell sand little child
strayed-a baby girl--all alone.
Slowly and wearily the little feet paced
the beach Slowly, but with awful sure
ness, the cruel waves crept nearer.
She came 10 where, shut In by Jagged
headlands, small creek danced 10 It's

springs above.

Their ship, which lay In the offing, was
signaling their return. The child could
not be left To perish, they said, and the
captain would set her ashore when the
storm was over. So they placed her I'm n
boat, and soon she was hoisted upon the
ships deck.
That night she slept In the spare berth
OF the captains cabin.
The little cot at home by the mother y
bedside was empty. Beside IL the mother
knelt and prayed and wept through all
che watches OF that fearful night, while
aboard, unheeding rain, hurricane and
deluge, the father and his neighbors
searched far and wide along the stormy
shore. And so, for days and nights. till
hope became despair praying, weeping
and searching, they sought the child.
Then the parents made a tomb for their
darling In their hearts, for they dared not
hope that she was yet alive.
The little garments were placed away,
toys and worn playthings, the small chair,
the cradle and the crib-in one dim, 81
lent room they were all placed, and that
room was the shrine 10 which the mother
went daily In weep and where the father
stood with still awe and man 4 undemon-

GET TO WORK At ONCE.

The incoming Of Congress for the reg
ular session is the signal for an aroused
curiosity all over the country. Just how
soon the work upon the new Tariff bill
will begin will depend upon the discus
sions started by topics in the PRESIDENT =
message. But there is no DOUBT OF the
majority's determination to pass the bill
as quickly rs possible.
A renewed OF scenes like those during
the Silver debate IN the Senate's extra
session would maze the masses inciy.

acknowledged the. greatest fnancier In
the ranks OF that party. This was the
cause Of such amazing failures, such hard
times, such scarcity OF money. This con-
dition OF affairs would have come under
any administration. But 1t is only prop
er and right that we should put the blame
on the shoulders of those " ho are respon-
slble for 1t. Since the repeal OF the sher-
man act 1t is conceded by all that money
is easier and tna. We are slowly but
surely recovering from the effects OF a
Republican monetary policy that is per.
nlcious and dsmnable.
We cannot allow such statements as
were made by MIR. Tiepke to pass un-
challenged and place before our readers
the truth in regard 70 our commercial af-
fairs. Mr.. Tiepke's reasoning is so illogi-
cal as to make his address appear laughs-
bile. We shall hereafter take occasion to
examine the tariff portion OF his address
aud show wherein he Is as illogical and
uniniormed In regard to the true condi
tion of the commercial world as he is in
regard to finance. We do not fnd any
fault with his making an address. We
simply object to false reasoning and
false conclusions.

Mr.. nEPKE'S ADDPESS.

Mayor.elect Tiepke ma, an address
last week before the leaguc II Republi.
can clubs at Woonsocket tat has been
paraded before the public production
OF remarkable ability. We have under
taken, under the circun tauces, as the
gentleman is soon to take the helm In the
city to peruse this address for the purchas
about 1t. And after or efforts, we found
nothing but the stock set OF glittering
generalities that have ppesred from time
to time In the Republican press OF the
day. One would have er--nsed that an
examination OF the finaucie condition OF
to the country by mn errd.'e student OF
contemporary affairs, src n ?, Mr.. Tiepke
is,would have led him to 3 re 1genthinU his
glittering generalIties by some substan-
tial facts. These, in this address, are con-
spIcuous by their absence.
There is one conclusion only TO be
reached, and that is that while Mr.
Tiepke makes the statements and charges
In regard to business that he does, he
cannot subst 'ntiate one Of them by tn,
fact. In other words, it is easy enough
to make statements, but another thing tc
prove them.
The one important charge he tha
brings against the Democratic ad
ministration Is that business Is In
crippled and chaotic state, and that las
year 1t was the most brilliant the countr,
had ever seen. Because IL was good las
year, that 10 no reason why It was due t,

IL is bad this year, that is no reason VIII
Il is due to the Democratic adminIstra
tion. Bad or good business Is due 10 cir
cumstances outside OF what sort Of
government Is in Office. Would Mr.
Tlepke argue, because the late Southern
rebellion took place during Lincoln'
administration, that the Republican part,

there was q panic In 1869, and another o

sponsible bidder; ano the preference shall
be given to home over foreign products,

the gentleman from Missouri had misin-

tain any provision fOr the use of Tennessee

American citizen on an equal footing with
the foreigner.

based upon manhood upon conviction, and
did not require even fitness, for the exami-
nations were schoolboy affairs, and did not
show capacity or ability for the work per-
formed The civil service should be purged.
There was now practically life tenure of
Office, which was un-American. The civil
service men in the house evidently did not
think there was any occasion for a reply to
