Mexican Methods,


Mr.. Graham found that the spirit
Of religion III Mexico seemed to be
confined almost exclusively to wcN-
en-. He says: "In one church I saw
200 women kneeling, some with their
small children and babies, others ac-
companied by their dogs, both large
and small. Only a very few old men
and cripples were among the worship
ers. The mass Of the men and the
boys were to be found loafng around
the gambling houses, which were all
open and running full blast. We
looked into some Of these dens, but
were most shocked at one ~frequented
mainly by small lads and children,
some even IS young as 7and S years,
betting their copper cents. The
amount staked upon the turn Of the
wheel rarely exceeded IL Or Is cents,
and the owner Of the den raked in 8
or 4 cents as his share, and the bal.
ance went to the lucky boy.
Speaking of children, the girls
and boys of the public schools are
taught in separate buildings. They
are instructed to study their lessons
aloud, and it is a very noisy place.
Imagine 80 boys, with good, strong
lungs, studying their reading or
spelling lessons aloud while the teach.

problem in arithmetic to a small
class in another corner of the room,

Something of the Good He Does and Like
wise Undoes.
Really there has been too much
said in ~dispraise of the encore fend,
and it is high time that a word or
two spoken in his favor, for he
Is by no means the utterly useless
and ENJOYABLE creature that some
harsh critics would have us believe.
The encore fiend indeed has many
very praiseworthy traits, and of his
usefulness there can be no doubt in
the minds of those who will view his
performances dispassionately and
with an eye to discover tho benefac-
tons which flow from his unselfish
efforts, for he is distinctly altruistic
in his intentions and in the methods
by which he carries them into effect.
He is by no means the hog that his
frank and artless would
seem to declare him. On the con,
trary, he labors for others, and for
ell, as well as himself. He is not in
tent only upon getting a full return
for his money, but he is bound that
all shall receive their moneys worth
also. Moreover, he informs others by
his liberal and energetic applause
what is worthy of their appreciation,
and upon the principle that there
cannot be too much of a good thing
he insists that they shall have as
much as possible of what his superior
taste conceives they should admire.
And the encore fiend thinks not
only of the welfare of the people at
the theater, but of others who are
not there. By frightening the per-
formance until after II o'clock he
prevents tho bibulously inclined
from visiting the gilded saloon be-
fore vending their way ~homeward,
and thus does he a good thing for
the Il of temperance. Again, by
delaying the close of the performance
he brings money to the purse of the
herdic driver who is employed 70
hurry suburbanites to the trains they
cannot reach in time by walking, and
he helps the hotels likewise, mas.
much as many who cannot reach
their homes, having lost their trains,
are obliged to put up in town.
The encore tiend is, moreover, no
mean factor toward the elevation of
the stage, for his applause not only
rewards good acting or superior sing
ing, but he cause the performers or
singers who have done badly to re.
peat their efforts, and in this way
does he punish offenders.
The encore fiend, it is true, receives
a personal benefit from his applause
and indeed every good act brings
its compensation to the actor-for
the exercise he INDUCES in is an
excellent prophylactic for the govt
and rheumatism, it assists digestion
and aids in the healthful circulation
of the blood.
But these benefits to himself ara
only incidental. His main purpose is
to act for the public good, and most
encrgctically does he attain his oh,
ject.-Boston Transcript.

No Room Tor the Ladies'.

One foggy night three elderly ladies

Presently through the murky atmos.

Oh, cares which come with every sun.
Morn after morn, the long years through
We shrink beneath their paltry sway
The irksome calls Of every Gay.

The tiresome round of little things.
Are hard to bear as hour by hour.

And yields its substance grain by grain.

Beneath the wear of every day.
We rise to meet a heavy blow
Our souls a sudden bravery fills
But we endure not always SO
The drop by drop of little ills.
We still deplore and still obey
The hard behests of every day,
The heart which. boldly faces death
Upon the battlefield. and dares
Cannon and bayoncts, faints beneath
The needle points OF frets and cares-
The stoutest spirits they dismay-
The tiny things of every day.
And even saints of holy fame.
Whose souls by faith have overcome.
Who wore amid the cruel flame
The molten crown of martyrdom,

acquaintance there. One day they
went to call. They were met outside
the door by a very small dog with a
very large bark. The dog planted
himself before the door and refused
to allow them to enter. AT length
Mr.. Stevenson heard the noise and
came to the rescue. When the visit
ors were seated, the dog placed him.
self in front of them and parked so
loud that conversation became i'm
possible. The husband and wife look
ed at one another anxiously, and
finally Mr.. Stevenson carried the dog
from the room. It was only to the
next room, however. The dog put
his nose to the crack of thedoor and
barked as loud as before. Converse
ton again came to a halt. He loves
us so MUCH" the husband and wife
murmured to each other, with apol-
ogetic chances at their visitors, and
looked so genuinely unhappy that
their callers considerably took leave.

the dawn of a happier and better
day for all the Macs, not includ-

a formidable editorial, in his best

WHAT IS HIS POLITICS?

Can any of the old citizens tell
what is CassianO's politics. He
was first elected on the Republi-
can ticket by the aid and use of
Gov. E. j. Davis money; then
again the money furnished by
Col. Augustus Belkanp; John
Ramsay, IA DemocraO, beat him
twice-but the last time Ramsay
was defrauded out of his election;
then again the $4,000 Doodle
campaign in the interest of the
Arkansas Pass railway pulled
him through. While he has run
with the Democratic machine,
and been the chief manipulation
of the notorious Big Six, pretend
ing to be both Democratic and
Republican, Populist or anything
else, has anyone discovered that
he had any political principle,
other than that he was for Cassi-
anO only.

means bribery and corruption at
the polls, and nothing else. The
people must rally to the ballot
box and administer a rebuke that

HOW ABOUT OUR REGIS
TRATIONS.

Judge Shardien, our registrar,
of voters, is a conscientious Off
Ger and will perform his duty as
registrar as faithfully as he can,
but Judge Shardien cannot be
expected to watch all the tricks
of the political manipulators who
are pushing in persons for regis
tration. The prospect is that the
registration will exceed that of
two years ago by at least 1000,
and it is rumOred that there has
been some repeating done. 1t is
certain that there has been some
business done in certificates.
Judge Shardien must double his
vigilance over his work. There
is no doubt but there are plenty
of fraudulent registrations; such
was the case at the last city cleo
ton. At that time there was a
strict watch kept over the regis
tration by the Elmendorf mana
gers; they were furnished with
lists of suspected voters who had
given their place of residence,
and in the Fourth ward alone
some thirty yagrant Mexicans
were found to have registered
persons who had no place of
abode.
The registrar has ample power
in the law to satisfy himself thor
as to the genuineness of
the applicant, but in the rush
unless there is some one to chal-
lenge, the requirements of the
law are not enforced.
1t looks very much as if all
hands had agreed to pour any
and all kinds of grist into the
registrars hopper, and every
body expects to get some of the
output.
Good citizenship on the other
hand demands the exclusion of all
persons not entitled to vote.
The large number of irrespon-
sible voters who are registered
the use of large slush
funds. The people had better be
looking into these things.
