Father, dear father come home with

pets to beat; but she's got all the fur

of dead grass, for it's time to clean
house and the DIS to pay--and the
front window needs some new glass
Father, dear father come home with

The Story of Babette. A Little Creole
Girl. By Ruth McEnry Stuart, author of
Charlotta's Intended, etc. First pub
lished as serial in Harper's Young
People, Babette, the young child of
wealthy New Orleans family, IS stolen
by an old GYPSY woman for the reward
she hopes to receive, that size may help
her daughters family, who are miserably
poor. Baberte is too young to remem-
Der her name or her changed life,Eand
the old Gypsy fears to confess ner crime.
For three years Babette lives in wretch
ed howell on the north shore of the Miss
issippi Sound with the Gypsy family,
playing with the children on the beach,
and growing healthy and vigorous in her
outdoor life. Movie, a half-witted dumb
BOY, mem Der of the family, proves her
good angel. and through his influence
she is left by the old Gypsy woman in
refined, beautiful home, where she is
loved and cherished until she is restored
to her family. The author says, @All
the principal actors in the story are still
living" and knowing it to be true. gives
to this refined and charming story an
added interest. The work is appropriate
ly illustrated. New York: Harper &

The marking of the ballot under the
existing law is not a difficult or COM
plicated operation. To vote the ticket
one has but to mark a cross in the vacant
square above the party designation.
There is no man of intelligence enough
tosvote, who can read, but can do that,
and do it without making mistake if
he will only take the trouble to inform
himself The fact is that the simplicity
Of the thing is really responsible for
many of the errors, inasmuch as it has
led many of the voters to think that they
would know just how to do it without
studying the law at all. The intelligent
so simply because they have not taken
the trouble to inform themselves. We do
not believe the marking can be made
any more simple than it is now, and if
it be attempted, even if something should
be gained in the Way of simplicity it
would be lost and more too, by reason
of the confusion it would cause. If it
were possible to so simplify the ballot
that man could vote without the exer-
else of any care at all, we do not think
it would be advisable to do so, inasmuch
as the necessity of exercising a certain
amount of care tends to elevate vot-
ing above purely mechanical process

Why not continue the Street Commits
sion under the ordinan Sc? Why is leg
islation needed, These are questions
which are being asked, and they de-
mand reply. When the Commission
was instituted the legislature was not in
session, and the only way to proceed was
under an ordinance. But without legis-
lation the Street Commission can only
be chosen by the City Council. The
result is that the Commission and the
Commissioner are wholly independent OF
one another. While, during the past
year, all friction has been avoided, and
the two worked together tremendously,
it can readily be seen that there is dan
ger of conflict between them. To en-
sure harmony the Commissioner must
he the executive officer of the Commits
sion, and subject to their directions and
control. This can only be brought
about by legislation.

The Dexter bank robbery case is being
tried over again in the Boston Herald, be-
cause of the rumors that application will
be made to the Governor for the pardon
of Stain and Cromwell. While its re-
hearsal Of the tragedy is interesting it is
not likely that any new facts will be
elected to throw any light on the affair.
Stain and Cromwell were convicted
after careful trial, in which they were
defended by able lawyers. Subsequently
the case was reviewed by Judge Peters,
who wrote a very elaborate argument
sustaining the jury's verdict as correct
both as to the law and the fact, and the
full court conceded in Judge Peters's
view. Of: course it is within the bounds
OF posi- bility that mistake was made
Judges and juries are not infallible.
But the presumption is strong against it
and unless new evidence is forthcoming
the Governor is not likely to inter
fers. a.

Fifty-nine Democrats voted against
Il e Carlisle currency bill i'll the House
caucus. if tneY vote the same way in the
House the bill will be beaten, unless IL
gets Il good many Republican votes. But
it is practically certain that it will not
get a single vote from that quarter. Inc
only hope of passing the bull is to con-
vert third of the Democrats who OPP
posed the bill in caucus. and this is
probably impossible. But even it the bill
should be forced through the House by
a vigorous cracking of the admlnlstra-
ton whip, it cannot, By any posi- plllty,
get through the Senate. The Democratic
Senators are not in accord in regard TO
it, and even if they were, they could not
get the matter to a vote without
change of rules, and that is.impractlcabie
at the present session. 1t is practlcali3
settled therefore that there Will DC no
financial legislation at this session. IL
will remain for Republican Congress
to take up and settle on sound basis
the currency question. Whether it will
be done at an extra session or at the
regular session next WlnGeT uopeiios
upon the President. Rumors have been
rife that MIR. Cleveland had made up his
mind to call special session soon after
the fourth of March if all financial legis-
lation failed in this Congress, but it
may have been thrown out as sort OF
threat to drive the Democracy into ac-
tion. There are always many objections
to an extra session and only in serious
emergency is a President likely to call
one. Whether the country will be con-
fro nted with such an emergency next
spring cannot be settled now. whether
an extra session is called or not will de-
pend, therefore, upon the situation that
exists in March after this Congress has
expired. There is no question that some
radical revision of our currency system
is badly needed, but we are inclined to
think that any remedy the Democrats
would be likely to apply would only
aggravate the disease. They are too un-
sound on currency matters to be able to
construct sound system.

Judge Savage of Auburn proposes
modification of the constitutional
amendment that fixes limit to the debt
that towns may incur, by excepting debts
incurred for municipal water supply. A
good water supply is SO vitality related to
thu public health, and there are SO many
sound arguments in favor OF munich
pality's owning and controlling its own
water works that good deal can be said
in favor of Judge Savage's proposition.
But it would seem that some limit
should be fixed to amount of debt towns
may incur for this purpose.

to withstand the assaults of their rivals.
The issue was the ascendancy of the

A PLUCK-ME STORE
In the Pennsylvania Coal Regions Burned
By an Incendlary Eire-- Fifteen Hun.
bred Miners Out on a Strike.

DUBoIs, Pa, January 6.-The gen.
eral store of Bell & Lewis, at this
place, was burned to the first story to-
day and the stock of merchandise was
entirely ruined by water. The loss will
reach SIS, 600. The establish ment was
known as The Company's Store" and
is generally thought to have been
owned By Bell, Lewis 81 Yates, the coal
operators, whose miners are out on a
strike. 1t is the prevailing belief that
the fire was incendiary in its origin.
1t was learned here to-day that the
miners, who are out on strike, held a
secret meeting at Reynoldsville yester-
day afternoon. What was done at the
meeting cannot be learned, further than
that a call was issued for q general
meeting OF miners and citizens, 10 be
held at the opera honse in this city to-
morrow morning az ten o'clock, at which
time the strikers will publicly define
their grievances, and ask for aid and
sympathy from the public. Fifteen
hundred men are out, the apparent cause
of the strike being the discharge OF four
hundred men from the Bell, Lewis d
Yates mines last week. The miners Of
this region only resumed work in June,
after a protracted and fruitless struggle
of several mouths duration, and it is be-
leved that the present movement is but
the beginning of bitter fight between
capital and labor in this district. The
mlaers say they believe the company Is
trying to disrupt their union and that
they will fight until starvation compels
them 10 submit!
