They are. apparently, hopelessly divided
in their preferences as regards the COM
plimentary candidates Of their own po-
litical faith. and they will offend no
canon of Democracy by concentrating
on the candidate OF the opposite party
who would rscsiye a majority OF that
vote If Unitel States senators were
elected by popular ballot. Ii the Dsm-
ocrats will act on this suggestion they
will accomplish a public service, per-
forming a duty to their own constltu'
ency as we'll as to the commonwealth.
1t is in tho power OF the Democratic
minority to send an honest man to the
United States SENATE; they can place
representative citizen whsre he can do
the most good for the state, and The
HERALD believes that If the best eIe-
ment of the Democracy could be heard
at this TINS, this advice would receive
unanimous endorsement.

" omen ss Printers.


Some interesting details regarding the first
appearance of women in the printing office are
given in the official organ OF Partisan printers.
The general belief that women were for the
first time employed in typographical work In
1851 by Rignoux, printer in Montbard, is de-
cared to be erroneous, printing press worked
exclusively by women having been in regular
use in Italy century and half earlier The
printing office was the Convent of st. James at
Ripoli, and the women printers were sisters OF
the Dominican order.
The sisters OF this convent had practiced the
art of copying and illuminating manuscripts
since the thirteenth century. When Guten-
berg's invention made its appearance the press
spead rapidly in Italy, and every town soon
possessed its printing office. Florence had
one as early as 1472. 1t would have gone hard
with the Domi mean Sisters if their confessor,
Dominica de Pistoia, and their procurator,
Pietro di Pisa, had not impaired to them a
knowledge OF the new art The sisters appear
to have devoted themselves to their tpyo-
graphical labors with ardor and success. for
between 1476 and 14S4 more than hundred
works issued from the conventual press. 1t is
somewhat curious to note that among them is
an edition OF the Decameron. dated 1479.

REFORM LEGISLATION.

To iudge from the number of bills al.

couoiusion would be that the present leg
islature is disposed to reform on broad
scale. There are many bills yet to be
introduced, according to reports. 1t

always many things which it would be
well to do, but always those which
should be done first. There is limit to
human accomplishment. and it would
be impossible for any body OF men to
digest and intelligently dispose OF all
the bills pending and -impsndipg in e
60 or 100 day session.
There are undoubtedly many OF our
senators and representatives who are
sincerely devoted to their duties, and
we hope it is true OF all of them. We
advise those who msan TO do that
which is for the best, to put their heads
together aud select few of the most
important bills, those most important
to the general welfare. and conformity
and persistently work for their enact
ment. When this work is done and if
there is any time left. let them take up
the next bsst measures, and 90 on till
the session closes. In this way many
good bills will be passed, and, it is to be
hoped, the whole batch OF bad ones de-
feated.
The first thing to be done ia to cut
down expenses by sim plity ing the aystem
and aboishing supsrhuous offices.
Give tbs people 4 q,ttd pro quo for the
taxes they pay. That machine is most
effective whose mechanism is simplest
and applies torce with the least croum-
locution. This principle lie as spplica>
BILE in government as in mechanics.
| Abolish all tax collectors and city assess
sors and unnecessary judgeships. These
are few pslpable things that 1t
will not take long to do. II
euperhuous oifices are all abolished the
power OF bosses and machine politicians
will be very much abridged, in addition
to the relief from grievous burdens OF
taxation that will be afforded the people.
Grant no special privileges to any cor
poration, class of people or locality.
Legislators serve their constituents, not
only by passing good measures, but bV
defeating bad ones. Many things might
be mentioned in the line of our sugges.
tions, but we refrain from saying more
at the present time for fear OF creating
confusion. Our parting admonition Is
do not scatter too much. Be patient,
for evolution in nature is slow, and it is
! the same in human affairs.

once on time the friar gray,

once on a time the friar gray,
Coyote, made his monkish round
And came to where the red men lay
All dead; starved, stark upon the ground,
The last spark from the camp had fled
Prone dead! The very dogs were dead.
All day amid the dead he prowled;
Then sat him down and walled and howled
Till morn. Thea from the mount above
He heard Gods voice in pity say
"Yea all is dead but Love.
$50 take up Love and cherish her,
And seek the white man with all speed.
And keep Love warm within thy fur;
The white man needeth love indeed
Take all and give him freely, all
OF love you find, or great or small;
For he is very poor in this,
So poor he scarce koows what love is"
The gray monk took Love in his paws
And sp. q, ghostly streak of gray,
To where the white man was.
But man uprose, enraged TO see
A gaunt wolf track his new-hewn town.
He called his dogs, and angrily
He brought his tlashing rifle down.
Then God said: "On his hearthstone lay
The seed OF love, and come away
The seed OF love- tbs needed so,
And pray that it may grow and grow"
And so the gray monk crept at night
And laid Love down. as God had said.
A faint and feeble light;
So faint, indeed the cold hearthstone
Itseemed would chill starved Love to death
And so the monk gave all his own
And crouched and famed it with his breath
Until n red cock crowed for day.
Then God said "Rise up, come away"
The beast obeyed, but yet looked back.
All day along his lonely track;
For he had left his all in all,
His one Love, for that fam shed Love
Seemed 40 exceeding small
And God said, "Look not back again"
But ever where camp fire burned,
And he beheld strong burly men
AT meat, he sat him down and turned
His face to wall and wall and mourn
The Love laid on that cold hearthstone.
Then God was ang cred, and God said;
BE thou Il beggar then; thy mead
! Hath been fool, but thy wifi feet.
| Because they bore sweet Love, shall be
! The feetest OF all fleet"
| And ever still about the camp,
| BY peak or piaiu, in heat or hail,
| A homeless, hungry, hated tramp,
The gaunt coyote keeps his wall.
| And ever as he walls he turns
| His head, looks back and yearns and yearns
| For lost Love, laid that winter day
| To warm II hearthst ne far away.
! Poor, loveless, homeless tramp, keep
| Your lost Love warm for you. and, too,
! canon cool and deep.
