Big Enough.

In Mrs. Laura E. Richards de-
lightful picture of child-life, en-
titled, when l Was Your Age" are
descriptions of the little ones who
are now the grown-up daughters of
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe OF GLOSSY"
she writes:
If Julia was like Millions "Pen-
seroso," Flossy was the "Allegro" in
person, or like Wordsworth's maiden.
Adancing shape, an image gay.
To haunt to startle, and waylay.
She was very small as a child. One
day lady, not knowing that the
little girl was within hearing, said
to her mother:
"What pity Flossy is so small!"
"Im big inside!" cried little an
CRY voice at her elbow, and there was
Flossy, swelling with rage like an Of
Tended bantam.
And she was big inside; her lively,
active spirit seemed to break through
the little body and carry it along in
spite of itself. Sometimes it was an
impish spirit; always it was an en-
terprising one.

She Got the Worst OF 1t.

There was but one vacant seat in
the car on the elevated road, and it
was next to a woman, not handsome,
but highly dressed. A middle-aged
man entered, and on seeing him ap-
proach the seat she put her muff in
it, Observing her little game, he
sauntered aimlessly along, and sat on
the roll of fur. Her Indignation and
surprise knew no bounds, and she
looked around the car for sympathy,
but everybody seemed to be on the
side of the man, who never cracked
smile, nor showed by any sign that
he knew what he had done. A salts
bottle in the muff got the worst of
the incident, and the car was filled
with highly ammoniated odor for
the next hour. Somehow or other
people like to see an impolite and
shrewish woman get the worst of it,
In this case, there was a great deal
of quiet laughter among the passen-
gers who witnessed the affair, and
more than one was heard to remark
that it served her right-New York

Embarrassing Claims.

There is another class which is surpris-
ingly large and often very annoying. In
every congressional district, more especial
ly in the rural regions, are old and wealthy
families having great political influence,
and to many of them the member is in
debted for early political and professional
support Almost every such family has at
least one scapegrace representative who
wanders off, wastes his substance and turns
up in Washington with the request for help

WASHINGTON, April 23.-The daily life
of an average congressman IS curlousiy
compounded Of voting and talking, writ
ing letters and running errands, figuring
over statistics in his committee rooms and
answering calls to the lobby, shining
the departments in the interests OF his
constituents and score of other duties
not even distantly alluded to in the consti-
tuition and the laws. There are a few men,

Day of the Dead In Paris.

The Jour DIES Morris is observed by the
Parisians with great reverence, and it is
touching sight to watch the crowds
pressing into the large cemeteries such
as Pere Lachaise and Montmartre on
Nov. 2. Crowds composed of all classes,
all fortunes and all professions make the
same solemn pilgrimage-the rich with
their carriages full of the gorgeous
wealth of flowers which Paris can pro-
duce in such perfection, and the poor

Japanese In Australian CoIonies

Largenumbers of japanese are appear
ing in the Australian colonies. There are
two pecularities about them which will
tell upon the future character of the pom
ulation among whom they settle and the
present character of the labor problem.
The first is that they go tostay as genuine
immigrants and with no intention of re-
turning to their native land. In this re-
spect they differ entirely from the Chi
nese, who, if possible, must find their
way back to China alive or dead.
The Chinaman is a mere periodical
migrant who wants to make his little
pile among the outer barbarians, and
then return to the fowery land to spend
his declining years and to be buried in
the land of his fathers. The second thing
is that wherever they go they are d:s-
placing Chinese labor. They are in every
way superior to Chinese servants. and in
Australia command wages on the Aus
tralian or English scale. Men and women
alike emigrate, and the japanese govern
ment tavors the emigration

On Nov. 10th, 1898, the following
warning appeared in the editorial
columns Of The CAUCASIAN:
"wATCH THE STATE MACHINE"
During the last campaign we told
the people that the Chicago platform
was Il cowardly makeshift, aud was
written to deceive the people. 1 his
was Indignantly denied by the Dem
ocratic speakers and politicians, but
now every Democratic paper in the
State Except one) is making the
same charge. But the people must
watch these papers, they are not
making this confession because they
have undergone any change of heart,
they are doing it to try to hold the
confidence of the people SO they can
fool them again. They know that
the people are in open revolt against
the gold bug policy of the admins
tration, and that they themselves ale
losing their hold upon the people.
The Democratic politicians and edi-
tors have caucused over the situation
and decided that inasmuch as the
next campaign will not be a national
one, that probably they can mold the
people to the machine by claiming
that Cleveland has fooled them also.
They want to hold the next legisla-
ture, and are willing to denounce
Cleveland IN order to gain that point.
They thluk If they can keep the col
lar Of the machine on the people two
years longer, that when the mex.
that they can whip up the people to
support the next nominee OF the
Democratic party. even II another
gold bug in disguise Is nominated on
another platform Of uble meaning.
Watch the State machine, 1t fooled
you last year and Is now abusing
Cleveland to try to keep the pc pie
flom crushing the machine IN right
eous Indignation. The same motive
that prompted the machiue to mis-
represent the facts last fall, prompts
it now TO denounce the admlnistra-
ton so as to hold your confidence.
They then magnltied Cleveland with
the hope of staying in power and
holding offices, they are now de-
nouncing Cleveland with the same
hope of staying in power and hold
ing offices. Watch them! Eternal
vigiIence is the price of liberty
How well and timely the above
warning was, the present tone of the
Democratic press shows. THE eau
cAsIAN's prediction is every day be-
ing verified. The machine is now
abusing Cleveland to try to save the
State machine.

WHAT rAS BECOME OF THEM?

Thirty-four congressman were
elected by the Alliance to congress,
yet to-day there are only about a doz-
en- who pretend to stand up in con-
gress and fight on. Where are the
others? What is the matter? They
were elected as Alliance Democrats.
New wine was put IN old bottles and
it has turned out just as the Bible
said it would. The Peoples party
congressman are the only ones you
hear from fighting for the Alliance
and the great demands of equal rights
to all and special privileges to none.

take next time.

Attorney Aycock stand the party
that fooled him and used him as a
tool to fool the people. Mr.. Aycock
was honest when he was making
such fair promises to the people in
the last campaign. But the same
honesty will now certainly cause him
to denounce corrupt party machine
that fooled him and the people and
to stand by the people as he prom
ised to do on the stump. He told
the people that if the party did not
stand by its pledges that he would
denounce the party and join the

A charge OF b;gamy has been heard At
Berhampur III which the prisoners were
a girl aged and boy just three years
her senior The girl was first put upon
trial for committing blgamy, and then
the 9-year-old boy was indicted for mar
rying her while it was within his knOwl-
edge that the lady of was already the
wife of another.
The original charge was under sections
494 and 49, of the Indian penal code, but
the offense under the latter section ICON
cealment of the former marriage from
the person with whom the subsequent
marriage was contracted) WAS with
drawn, and these children were simply
charged under the section providing
maximum punishment Of seven years for
whoever, having a husband or wife liv-
ing, marries in any case in which such
marriage is void by reason of its taking
place during the lifetime of such hus-
band or wife"
AS the exception to the section only
provides for the continuous absence Of
the original marital partner for seven
years, the little 6-year-old Lilith was not
able to plead that justification. For three
days these two desperate young criminals
stood tearfully hand in hand in the dock
while their respective parents We're being
charged with abettlng the offense. 1t is
pleasant to be able to record that the jury
at length returned a verdict of not guilty,
