The record-union., 1896-11-30

The claim is made that Tennessee
really went for Mckinley by very
considerable plurality; that outrageous
election frauds have been discovered,
and that if investigation is officially
made these will be established beyond
all question. If there was election
fraud in Tennessee it should be ferret
ted out No matter who was involved,
even if practiced by each of the po-
litical organizations, that should make
no difference. The people can suffer
no greater wrong than robbery of their
right to determine the policy of the ma
ton and who shall be administrators
of its affairs. Let that be defeated by
fraud, and liberty is at stake and men
become slaves. Assuming that the
charges as to Tennessee are true, they
should be followed up, and not ignored
simply because Tennessee's vote will
make no change in the result OF the
election If election crime has been
committed it ought to be unearthed
and the perpetrators punished. Suppose
the election of Governor Mckinley hung
upon the vote of Tennessee, then the
whole nation would be up in arms de-
manding that the alleged frauds in that
State should be uncovered. But be-
cause his election does not SO depend,
not one whit reduces the Importance OF
following the thing out and laying bare
the frauds.

NOTIFYING HER FATHER.
He Was Allowed to Forego the Usua
Speech in Reply.

She had accepted him, and he was
very happy, until she broke In on his
bliss by suggesting that the little for
mality Of seeing papa had better be
gone through without delay. 1t would
be all right, of course. No parental OBJ
lection would be made, but he must be
asked for his consent, just as though
he really had some say about the mat
ter.
The young man demurred. He shrank
from telling Mr. Dinsmore that he loved
Ida and Ida loved him, and that 1da's
papa's consent to their engagement was
all that was necessary to make them
happy. He said he would see Mr.. Dins-
more later. He said he would write to
him He said he would call him up
by telephone next day. There were
many reasons why Mr.. Dinsmore ought
not to be bothered that night. Perhaps
he was smoking in his den. Perhaps he
had gone to bed. Perhaps he was not
at home.
Ida would listen to none of these ex-
cuses Papa was in the house, and he
had not gone to bed, and he was not
so absorbed that he could not be seen,
and he must be asked that very night.
If Mr.. Sanderson would not ask him,
Miss Dinsmore would breach the sub
iect. and Mr.. Sanderson let her have
her own way.
The two went to Mr.. Dinsmore'e den
and knocked at the door.
Come in," said a voice on the other
side.
Miss Dinsmore opened the door with
one hand and led Mr.. Sanderson with
the other.
Papa Dinsmore looked surprised, and
raised his eyebrows interrogatively, and
his daughter said:
Papa"
well, daughter" ?"
Charlie and ] are a notification COM
mittee, papa"
What sort Of a notification COM
mittee?"
I'VE have come to notify you that
you have been nominated to the proud
position Of father-in-law. There! that's
all. You needn't make speech in re-
ply. Sit down, papa, and go on with
your reading and smoking"
The girl then closed papa's door, and
the notification committee returned to
the parlor.-Harper's Bazaar.

Invariably, the rule should be to
pay the worthy laborer and permit
him to purchase his own supplies. This
has been demonstrated in New York
City during the last six years by a
philanthropist in the furnishing of
sterilized milk, coal, sleeping accommo-. :.
dations, the bath and food. But at the
same time it is an excellent plan TO
provide cheap supply stations where
those who receive the charity wage can
secure the most for their earned money.
But free souphouses, free lodgings and
free shelter are rarely beneficial. AS a
rule they encourage trampism and
poverty rather than correct them.
Provide the supply houses if we will,
but let those who use them earn the
right to do so, and pay for what he or
she receives, and to enable them to do
so provide ways and means for such
earning, and this can be done in about
every community in the land with con-
siderably less expense to those who pro-
vide the money than by any other
means of giving. The suggested sys-
tenn is, therefore, the most economical,
while at the same time it is the most
helpful.
When it comes to helping the sick,
the feeble poor and those who are too
young to work, the direct application Of
charity means is proper, and all such
cases stand apart from all others.
These are principles evolved as the
result of all experience, and have been
proved completely and conclusively by
the Associated Charities of New York,
and under the poor rate system of
England. Upon these lines we should
proceed in relieving distress this win
ter, and at all times. To that end we
need system administered and directed
by a broad intelligence that distin-
guishes between mere giving and bene-
fetal helping, and that knows how to
apply the test that distinguishes be-
tween the worthy poor and the impos-
ters who use the dole of indiscriminate
charity to feed their gross appetites
and indulge their thirst for intoxicants.

POPULAR NEGRO MELODIES.
A Sudden Partially for Ethiopian
Themes With "Honey'' in Them.

A Sudden Partially for Ethiopian
Themes With "Honey'' in Them.
The vagaries of public taste are almost
inexplicable and theatrical managers of
Judgment long ago abandoned the effort to
keep track with the popular fancy where
songs or stage characterizations are con-
cerned, says the New York Sun. For
many years May Irwin, when on the spe-
cialty stage, the late Annie Pixley and
Maud Huth, a Georgia girl now well
known in the continuous performances in
an act with her husband, Billy Clifford,
called 1.-THE Chappies VISIT" sang planta-
ton songs with considerable success, diver
styling the musical features with the pecu-
liar stride which colored women regard as
one of the distinguished beauties of a cake
walk. Theater-goers accepted such spe-
cialtes asan upimportant feature of lively
performances, but recently there has been
q decided craze for them. and no farce
comedy or "comic opera is now thought
to be complete without them.
May Irwin, now appearing in 1.-The
Widow Jones" and the pioneer in many
similar stage crazes (she was the first
in New York City, started the ball in
motion with mamie, Come Kiss Your
Honey Boy" sung in 1.-THE Country
Sport" Later Fay Templeton in Excel
sior Jr." sang and made popular 81 Want
Yer, Ma Honey" Then Flora Irwin,
Mays sister, in Gentleman Joe," sang
Honey, Does Yer LoveYour NJ an?" One
of the features of "a Black Sheep at
Hoyts Theater is the singing of the plan
tation song by Jeanette st. Henry in the
! third act, "Love Me, Honey, Do"
Though this requirement Is not essential
plantation songs with cake walk chorus
nowadays to be entirely successful should
include in some part of the title, and GER
tainly in the chorus, the word honey"
and to that word in part as we'll as to the
charm OF the music is due the popularity
of the song rendered by George Evans and
by Willis P. Sweatnam. "I'll Be True to
Ny Honey Boy" Some ingenious indi-
viduals have claimed to trace the present
craze for popular songs of the plantation
variety to a precursor, Honey orr but
there is no sufficient. corroboration of this
view to make it generally accept
ed. Others find the start of the
craze in Percy Gaunt's song, "Push
Dem Clouds Away" which was sung with
considerable success in "a Trip to China
town" by Anna Boyd and her associates.
The chorus of this song was accompanied
with cake-walk movement which helped
to make it very popular, and the music
was quite catchy. This season May Irwin
has been singing two negro plantation
songs without "honey" in either, 1.-THE New
Bully and ''The Hoodoo." Peter f.
Daley and Jennie Yeamans introduced a
cake-walk song at the end of the first act
of "The Night Clerk" at the Bijou re-
