This longed-for spring time is fast
leaving US, having brought health and
happiness to the many, with flowers OF
the finest scent and hue to the church
and rooms of invalids.
| see from my room the mill yard
with it's changing scenes, its sharp
whistle and drowsy hum, and beyond
the river glimpse of the school house
where a second term of a good school
closed in raising a flag, quietly and
well done, just as we knew would be
the case. We were sorry not to have
aided in the ceremonies and shared in
the hOnOrs. The school has been
taught two terms by young Sanborn of
East Thetford, and the poem, good
hereafter, is the last born of the house
of SanbOrn.
Sweet impulse rules the day,
We own its gentle sway,
Yield to its power;
We met our flag to raise,
And as we upward gaze,
Tribute we bring of praise,
10 meet the hour.
Brave lessons we may learn,
And deepest truths discern,
From history's love;
OF those who served in wars,
Heroes of many scars,
Which for those stripes and stars,
They bravely bore.
AS we the flag unfurl,
Let every boy and girl,
Salute with pride.
And pledge themselves to fight,
In every cause of right,
And faithfully invite,
Others to guide.
God grant our flag may be,
The badge of liberty,
Wherever seen.
Grant every slave release,
Let wars forever cease,
Bring in the reign of peace
Amen, amen.

legislature. This view, however,
cannot be sustained. Mr.. Roborts
himself states that his plural mar
riages we're made before Utah be-
came a State and that the provision
referred to the future only. He is,
therefore, violating no obligation of
citizenship, expressed or implied, by
the act admitting Utah to State
hood. ..,. p.
The case is very interesting and
the outcome will be watched closely.
1t appears to us that Mr.. Roberts is
clearly eligible to seat in Congress
and the House cannot correctly re-
ject him on the ground of his being
a polygamist. Tho State of Utah
alone may prescribe laws to govern
the marital relations of Mr.. Roberts.
Still the House of Representatives
has the right to expel member
whom it deems unfit to seat in the
body, and if Mr.. Roberts's plural
marriages put him beyond the pale
of American society, he may be ex-
PEELED as an improper member of the
House. The case will certainly be
brought before the House and an in
teresting contest is assured.-Char-

A PolYgamist for Congress.

The Democrats have elected q
Congressman from Utah who is q
Mormon leader, a believer in polyga-
my and the possessor of three wives.
The question bas been raised as to
whether the House of Representa-
tives will scat this much-married
statesman Pclygamy is anlawfal
under the territorial statutes of the
United States, but the Congressman
from Utah does not fall under this
provision, since Utah is q sovereign
State and makes its own criminal
laws, which do not include prohi-
bition of polygamy. When, how
ever, Utah was admitted as State,
it was with the express provision
that polygamy should thereafter be
forbidden. 1t is held by some Con
gressman that the election of q poly
gamist to Congress, in view of this
provision, is direct violation of the
agreement made in accepting State
hood, and that tho newly elected
Congressman, Brigham Roberts, is
Ineligible to seat in the national

would have killed the harmless birds
was the same that caused his sad and
tragic death. 1i
Thus passed from the earth this
bright and noble boy. It is SAD he
should have been taken so young ;
bht God had need Of MIN. He was
buried in the family graveyard, near
the residence of his parents. A vast
concourse of sorrowing friends and
relatives attended the sad burial of
this noble boy. The funeral sermon
was preached by Rev. w. S. Hami-
ter, assisted by Rev. Jos. T. Dendy.
Mr.. Hamiter's text was from John,
18th chapter and 28th verse, "The
Master is come and calleth for thee"
His death was sudden, and another
Christian home has been darkened.
But his friends did not need any
dying testimony from him. His
whole young life had been a witness
for Jesus. We feel assured that b.
is now where grief and pain and
sorrow are unknown. He is safe in
the arms of Jesus. s.H.

There are probably great many
good men who have not taken the
trouble to procure registration GER
tificates, and all such, according to a
decision of the Supreme Court, are
not only deprived the right of suf-
frage, but they are also not qualified
to sit as jurors. It therefore be-
hooves every man to get registered
and keep his certificate and his tax
receipt whore he can put his hand
upon it whenever it is needed. Some
men would not register if by doing
so would exempt them from jury
duty ; but suppose every white man
in the State were to hold such a
view, would not our lives and pro-
perty be in great jeopardy Every
citizen who has the welfare of his
country at heart must see the neces.
aity of having our j":ieess made up of
the intelligence of the country, and
under our constitution, made by
white men for the protection of the
children Of white men in South Ca
rolina. Unless the white man will
do his duty to his race by having
himself made qualified by register
ing, our courts will be greatly OBJ
structed and the result will be that
every time new trial is granted the
taxpayers have that much more bur-
den heaped upon them. We hope
there is not white man in this
county or in the State 80 Indifferent
as to his country's welfare to refuse
to get registered that he may be ex-
empt from jury duty. Get your
registration ticket and every year
pin your tax receipt to it.--The Man

The best toothpicks made any
where in the world come from Portu-
gal, says the Philadelphia Times.
They arc whitfield by hand from
orange wood splints by peasant girls,
the only tools used being an ordinary
jackknife. These picks are as smooth
as ivory and will not break into splin-
ters. They are expensive. Only
one hotel in Philadelphia supplies
them. The girls who make the picks
receive less than 10 cents per day.
AS tn duty ON the foreign-made
picks is only 35 per cent, they can
be sold here. for less than picks of
similar quality could be manufactured
in this country, despite the improved
American machinery and skilled labor.
The profit on American picks is almost
exclusively on the cheaper products.
Some of tho Portuguese picks are
highly ornamented with hand carv-
ing. They are too expensive for ordi-
nary commerce. Small quantities
have been imported into this country
on rare occasions for use at notable
banquets Or as unique specimens Of
handicraft. .... 3D.. @...

MACON, CA, November 25.
the African Methodist Episcopal con-
ference, which has just closed here,
Bishop III. NJ. Turner had this to say
on the race question:
sI see no manhood future for the
negro in this country, and the man
not able to discover that fact from
existing conditions must be void of
CEN y, on aenee. Our OWL, political
and social status is degrading, and as
degradation begets degradation, the
negro must go from bad to worse ad
infinitum. Neither education nor
wealth can ever elevate us to the
grade of responsibility. I say this
because we are surrounded by so
many influences that initiate against
our manhood. The best thing the
negro can do is to call o great ma
tional convention and ask the United
States Congress- for $10O,0O0,000 to
meet the expense Of starting a line
of steamers between this country and
Africa, thus pioneering a domain for
settlement" .... ....
