For THIEF CRY REVIVED,

the many suspicious circum-
stances attending the post-election
movements OF the defeated ringsters of
this State, not the least suspicious was
the sudden renewal yesterday of the
familiar stop thief bowling of the
ring organ, the Intelligencer. Beaten
at every point and its cry of fraud
proven without shadow of foundation,
since wherever raised the election ma
chinery has been found to be altogether
in the hands of the Republicans them
selves, the Intelligencer up to yester-
day had allowed its perfunctory stop
thief shout to gradually die away
until it had become mere echo. Up
to that time the organ had given up
the hopeless fight against the plain
showing of the official returns and had
lain down to its political doom.
Now what has happened to cause
the organ to suddenly resume its sense
less, impudent and libelous cry? Has
it received orders from it's bosses to
keep up the howl? Has it been
awakened to the fact that the oppOr-
tunity for crooked work under the
familiar stop thief cry has not
passed yet? Evidently so, for the In
telligencer, as stated, yesterday burst
forth on the suffering public with its
columns, Geographic, local and edi-
torial, filled with one long wall and
\ desperate Shrek of fraud against the
Apemocrats.
If it were not for the dishonest pur-
pose behind the renewal of this base
4ess cry and the viciousness of it, it
would be amusing, it is so groundless
and absurd.
For example, the cry is renewed in
the case of the Republican county OF
Taylor, where the Democrats gained
official count. The organ printed a
cooked up" dispatch from Grafton
stating that the virtuous Republican
member of the county court there had
withdrawn because of alleged frauds
thenature of which was not stated. Then
it went on to call the affair" dis
graceful etc., and the occasion OF
much excitement and indignation,
and so on, in its familiar vein, all the
while carefully refraining from an eX-
PLANTATION of these things. The dis
patch occupied but eighteen lines, while
the display head over it occupied
nearly twice as much room and in big
black type, said: THE TAYLOR
\ STEAL-The Republican Member of
the County Board Withdraws, Refus-
e to Countenance the Most Outrage
Is Case of Political Thievery Yet At
tempted in the State etc, etc., all OF

they have the opportunity, regardless
OF the right, to do SO.
Let the people compare the actions
OF these arrogant political bosses with
those of the Democrats. In no case,
except where there is sworn evidence
Of fraud, have they disputed the result
and nowhere have they questioned the
official count. Democrats and Demo-
cratic leaders are content to abide by
the will of the people as expressed at
the polls and as canvassed by the pro-
per officials according to law regard
less of the politics of those officials or
the result of the official count.
The Republican ringsters, however,
refuse to do this. They arrogantly de-
cline to abide by the verdicts of their
own courts rendered in strict accord
ance with law, but dispute that YER
dict and arbitrarily hold up the de-
cision wherever they can simply be-
cause they can, and because they have
the opportunity to gain technical adj
vantage if it is only to cast doubt up
on the election.
Let the people of this State reflect
carefully on this matter and especially
upon the marked difference of the at
titudes of the leaders of the two par
ties as regards the result of the cleo
tion-the Democrats everywhere a.'e
willing to abide by the law and trust
their case to it's servants even though
they be of the other party; the Repub-
lican bosses on the other hand, are
everywhere defiant of law, everywhere
obstructing it an6 throwing every OBJ
stacle in the way to prevent the courts
carrying out the law.
This is evidence of the difference in
the spirit of the leaders of the two
parties which the people would do
well to ponder on.

Dull Boys.

Dull boys often become clever and sue
cessful men, but this is simply on account
of the fact that dull boys are only slow
boys, and it takes more time for their
brains to grow than the others. 1t Is
steady work, ceaseless endeavor, that tells.
Then, again, we forget that bright boy
may be handicapped by other qualities.
He may not have the physical strength or
energy of the other, while the dull boy Is
carried forward by never failing energy
and strength, for it is often his dullness at
school that makes the dull boys subse-
quent success so conspicuous. How many
dull boys have become still duller men,
and how many bright boys still brighter
men! Like the old reproach about min
isters' sons, one bright boy that turns out
i'll Is made to stand for the whole class,
and one dull boy that turns out well glori-
fles his whole class. Notwithstanding all
our inventions, all our progress, the old
Scripture doctrine still holds good-that
men reap what they sow and cannot gath
er grapes of thistles nor figs of thorns. 1t
can be set down. therefore, as an estab-
lished rule that bright boys generally do
turn out to be bright men and dull boys
generally do turn out to be dull men.
This, you see, gives the latter chance,
which can be fortified by declaring that
good boys always turn out good men and
generally successful men.-New York
Ledger.

A SMILE IN THE MORNING.


Ihere are smiles through the day, and mid
bright evening scenes.
Cleaning best over jewels and gold,
And as wit flashes round they have charms Of
their own,
But their witcheries my heart cannot hold.
For know they are false as the hearts which
they hide,
And turn from their witcheries with scorn-
ing,
While think Of a smile-of a bright, sunny
smile
OF a smile that I see in the morning.
There are smiles which we change as the small
coin of life,
That with one IL were vain to compare
They are plenty and pleasant as far az they go,
But the smile in the morning Is rare.
Theresa dear, tender face with a heart speak
ing glance
That has need Of no other adorning
Than the eloquent smile-than the beautiful
Than the smile that see in the morning.
Such soul reaching smile, filed with limo.
cent trust,
Must be caught from the cherubs abovel
Not the riches Of usury ever could buy
Such smile from the lips that Lowell
If at times in some maze am tempted to stray
Then seem to hear softly a warming:
"Oh, forget not the faithful-the happy al
home
Do not cloud the bright smile of the morn
ing"

LITTLE GOLD IN PHILIPPINES.

Engineering Journal: A story has

traordinary richness of the Philippine
islands in gold. A Pacific Klondike,"

embelished by accounts of lost and hid
den mines and rich deposits concealed
by monks-ncidents which have very
familiar sound, and have evidently been
borrowed from some old Mexican tale.
The facts. so far as known, are that
there is some gold in the island, as there
IS in nearly every country. The natives
for a long time have obtained small
quantities of placer gold from the IN
terror of the island of Luzon, which Is
little known, and an English company
has been for several years working
gold mine on the same island, but with
no great degree of success. 1t is nos
at all likely that the Spaniards nave

colony should be any exception to the

mere existence Of the native races on

Standards methods, demonstration
