beggars carrying babies e

Female beggars carrying babies to
attract sympathy are common enough
in New York, but a male beggar with
a baby is an uncommon sight. There
is n who walks along Fifth avenue
near the Waldorf at night and picks up
a good deal of money. The novelty Of
his appearance calls forth curious COM
ment from passers by and the beggar
is sharply questioned. He explains
that the child's mother is dead and that
he is too poor to hire a nurse. He al
ways adds that the child is very dear
to him and that he could not think o.
parting with it. The mans time Is
worth something and he is invariably
rewarded for his explanation.

The superintendent of the Arkan-
sas ~penitentiary will recommend in his
report to the legislature that the con-
victs be used next year in building a
railroad for the state. He says the
state could buy a farm, and place the
old men and boy ~convicts upon it, and
raise sufficient bread and meat for
the maintenance of the convicts while
building a railroad, and the road, when
completed, would be a source of rev.
enue to the state. He suggests a road

SENATOR HILLS NOMINATION.

There seems reason 10 anticipate that
Senator Hilrs nomination for the office
OF Governor OF New York by the Demo
cratic convention will not meet with the
unanimous ratification OF the Democrats
OF the State. The branch OF the party
included In the term anti-snappers are
plainly very much disgruntled at 1t. They
are getting active in calling up all their
old grievances against him; some OF
them even go the length OF advising that
an anti-snapper convention nominate a
separate ticket. to be called the Demo-
cratic ticket. We have no idea that any
thing so absurd will be done, and, al
though Senator Hin is not a politician
after our own liking. we most earnestly
hope to see him elected Governor of New
York.
The serious question growing out of his
nomination Is what will be it's effect on
national politics In 1896. II he is elected
Governor OF New York this fall 1t puts
him forward so prominently as the most
available man for the Democracy in 1896
that as far as human foresight can go, it
would seem 10 make his nomination GER
tain. In that case what is to be done
about MIR. Hilrs views upon silver? He is a
!, and he said in the Senate in August
1893, that II the ratio were changed at
all he thought 1t should be to Is 1-2 to
rather than that II should be increased
A doctrine OF this sort Will suit a large
part OF the South and the silver States,
but is It probable that the rest of the
country will be pleased by It? The rich
Democrats OF New York were delighted
with Senator Hills position regarding
the income tax. but what will they say
II asked whether they would like TO see
a party come into control of the Gov
eminent upon platform calling for the
free coinage of silver at a ratio of IL IL |
TO i?
The compliment paid Senator Hill by |
the unanimous tender of the nomination |
TO him by the convention is unparalleled |
But was IL a wise act? IL may have been |
wise. so far as the contest for the gov
ernoship OF New York is concerned OF |
ton is. OF course. a better Judge than |
We could be. But we question its wisdom |
as II will concern national politics. 1t
may be that by 1896 free silver at the
present ratio will be overwhelmingly
Democratic doctrine. so that Mr.. Hill may
be the natural candidate of the party.
We think otherwise. however; we be-
lieve free silver has almost run its
course. and that II is slowly dying. II
the prevailing sentiment of the party
In 1896 is against free silver IL will be
decidedly embarrassed with candidate
who Is an avowed advocate of free sill
