AN ENyIABLE DUTY.

The Diepatch's local report OF the eX-
pected investigation Of the election frauds
n smither's precinct. after stating yes
,crday that JUDGE Wickham would ask
Mr.. Wyndham Il. Meredith to conduct
the prosecution. adds that he MI Mere
dith. is said TO have expressed his viii
lincness to undertake the rather unen-
viable task"
Taking everything connected with this
Infamous affair into consideration, The
Times thinks that this remark would in
dicate that the Dispatch is in sympathy
with the frauds. 1t is n suggestion cal
culated to put Mr.. Meredith at disad-
vantage in prosecuting the guilty parties.
and 1t is an implied defence Of what took
place at Smithers.
Why when the commonwealth at
torney considers himself disabled to rep
resent the Commonwealth. and asks for
a substitute should it be rather I'M
enviable task 10 prosecute the persons
whom the grand jury shall charge as
those guilty of stuffing the baiiot-box at
Smithers? Those who are guilty are
guilty of a crime against the whole com
munity, and unless Mr. Meredith or some
other counsel be secured. the interests of
the people would be left unprotected,
and there would be default of justice.
The Dispatch may now see what fruit
its defence of cheating i'm elections is bound
10 bear. Here is one Of it's own reporters
putting into its own columns a statement
of this sort. intended plainly as an at
tempt TO sneer at the gentleman selected
10 prosecute these fraudulent election
officers. and to shelter them and save
them from the consequences of their
offences.
Though Mr.. Meredith, as we learn has
decided not 10 prosecute these cases,
there is another gentleman, whose ex-
perience as a representative Of the Com
monwealth is great and whose zeal and
devotion as a Democrat is unsurpassed.
who has consented TO accept the enviable
task Of defending the rights Of all voters
as we'll as the honor OF the Democratic
party. and TO prosecute the culprits of
Smither's precinct. and his name is Alex
ander Barclay Guigon.

Types of ChaperOnes.

Two chaperones who're fond Of jolliiy'
Who now and then enjoy frivolity'
Whose figures SAVIOR Of rotundity
Whose faces aye express Jocundliy,
Are favortes with all
When charged with maldens IN society
They nav no heed TO false pr0priety-
Indeed, it's ever their anxiety
To give their charges safety
OF pleasure Of the ball
You'u find very great disparity
Between the one of jccularity
And she with figure quite imperial
Who rules i'm manner maglsterial-
Who dignity would see.
This stately model Of ausierlty,
Though actuated by sincerity
Yet rules her charges With severity,
Denies all favOrs with asperlty-
\ naughty tyrant she.
Then there's the chaperone censorious'
In her there's nought that's mefltoilous
She nothing knows OF aifabiilty'
And glories IN her inciNiliiy-
OF all she is the worst.
II can be- said with much yeracliy
That she IS nothing but capacity
To Grossly repTimand veracity.
She's greatly given 20 procaciiy
In petty meanness versed'
The youthful married woman beauteoos'
The one who. to her charges duteoUf'
StHl likes 10 have q time enJoyaDie,
Whose sunny tempers undestroyaDle'
Is a charming chapcrone.
She's noted for her hospitality
She prates not always Of morality
She reprlmands not with brutality

The very best that's known.

PASSED The RETCHsJAG.



BERLIN. March 1.-THE Relchstag to-

mercial treaty by a large majority
When the debate on the treaty was re-
sumed to-day Herr Hammerslein Con
serVduve), said that the treaty. instead

Herr Sonnenberg (anti-Semite) described

During the course Of the debate Count
Herbert Bismark said that the remark
that the way to Constantinople is

emanate from his father. who accord

Count Herbert answered the Chancellor
by saying that he spoke only in the In

uncalled for.

A MODERATE ONE.

That most important factor In ones out

forth i'm all its glory. l wonder why it is
that the headgear is taken as a type Of
Easter extravaganza. The Easter bonnet
has been the source Of many domestic
thunderstorms. according 60 the monrniul
tales recounted IN song and story for gem
erations back. Some one made picture
of a doleful looking pair whose unhappi-
ness was caused by the miliiners bill.
This sorrow-fraught emblem Of joy has
become as much a matter Of tradition aS
the Easter egg, and il is as great de-
