not the right to make such an assign

for public officials to assign their sal
aries earned in State, county or n1u-
nicipal employment The practice is
reprehensible one, and should not be
permitted. If 1t cannot be done by

by making it such an offense as Will

There is a decided necessity to impose
certain reasonable conditions ON those

yond their means partially because
public place associates them with a

THE KLONDIKE FEVER.

The Klondike craze is now on and the
fever fully developed. 1t is certain that
a good many more people are going into
that section than there is room for or
will be supplies to sustain. 1t is also
probable that more will apply for trans
portation than can be accommodated in
any short time. Thus the emigration
will string out through the summer, and
the result will be great suffering, we
fear, for the late comers in getting
over the trails and down or up the
Yukon.
The Record Union has not modified
its views expressed last summer con-
corning the probable richness of the
Northwest Territory. We then said that
the geological indications in that Arctic
region SO nearly parallel those of the
Sierra Nevada section in our own State
that We must believe the results of
search for precious metals will result in
the same way, perhaps outstrip the early
and late marvellous developments in
California.
We hold to that belief still. All recent
discovery on the Yukon justifies that
conclusion. So civilization will roll it's
tide into the new region resiStlessly. 1t
will conquer the land, largely it will
master the climatic rigors; by the arts
of man the bars of nature will be broken
down. The trackless places will be
marked off and the wastes will become
the dwelling places of hardy pioneers
ard indomitable gold seekers. Difficult
paths will be made easy and the icy
gates of the north be so far shattered
that entry will no longer be by season,
but will become possible and probable
at all times. But before all these things
have been achieved, there will be great
deal of human suffering and the sacri-
flee of much human life. 1t is blessed
that we may not look into the future
and know whether our friends are to be
the sufferers; are to be counted among
the sacrifices that civilization invari
ably demands when she strikes out new
paths

SLEEPING WITH THE BABY.
Exciting Exigencies He May I'm
consciously Bring About.

The free-from care and ease-taking
old bachelor, who in his momentary
lapse of wisdom contemplates matri-
mony, should at the same time reflect
on the remote but contingent possibility
of his having to some time sleep with
a baby should he marry. Years of ex-
| perience of this martyrdom make me
feel it to be my duty to set forth the
misery arising from a contingency of
| this kind
| The baby, if he happens to be lusty
little fellow Of eight or ten months, will
decline to stay covered, and will also
| decline to allow you to keep yourself
covered. He indicates his wishes in this
direction by keeping his little pink heels
going all night, good part of the time
ON your back.
| He will also insist on lying "cross-
wise "endwise' 'cat-a- -cornered,' u
changes each after a few minutes
sleep. His infantile heels will begin
to manifest themselves at about l
| o'clock in the morning, at which
witching hour you will go blundering
round in the dark for a drink of water.
| He will howl steadily and cheerfully
from = until 3 o'clock, and will kick
| you furiously between the shoulder
| blades with every howl 1t will not be
of any use for you to pat him tenderly
and coo out, There, there He is
| there. and knows it, and intends that
| you shall know it.
| Tt is of no use to say, coaxingly,
What does papa's baby want?''
Papa's baby doesn't want anything
but to howl. and he is gratifying that
amiable desire to the utmost.
1t is no use to add to your list of
enormities by strong language. And if
your wife has been calmly passive
through it all she will develop an
amazing degree of spirit if you dare to
| lay the weight of your finger in anger
on that poor, dear little, innocent
| darling sweetness"
He will squirm all night as though he
were first cousin of the angle worm. He
will journey around all over the bed
| both under and on the top of the COW
| erings.
| You are no sooner asleep than one OF
| his moist little heels is planted firmly
on your nose, or in your mouth, and,
| later ON, he will sit astride your neck
and grow green and purple with rage
when gently made to sit elsewhere.
! Should he fall out of bed and yell loud
enough TO be heard all over your parish
your wife will say she firmly believes
that you pushed him out, and that you
are not fit to be a father anyhow. An
animated dialogue of purely personal
and private nature will follow this re-
| mark.
| But when the registering little char
| finally ..snuggles up to you, and goes
! to sleep with one of his velvety little
/ cheeks close to your own, and one o.
his warm, soft arms around your neck
you find your heart growing very sof'
and tender towards him, and you weulo
single handed wage war against host
or lay down your life for love of him.

DECREASING HOLD OF PARTY.

Reviewing the case of the recent Ohio
election for Senator, the New York
Evening Post" which cannot be cred
tied with any special friendship for
the Republican party, Ohio or Hanna,
has some straight from the shoulder
criticisms. These amount, in part, 70
the following charges: The State Re
publican Convention made the support
of Hanna for Senator test
Of party fidelity No sensitive
man, says this incisive New
York critic, could possibly retain self
respect and the respect of others if he
took a nomination for the Legislature
as a Republican under the State Con-
vention and platform and then refused
to vote for the nominee the convention
deliberately selected long in advance
and to whose election it pledged Re-
publican nominees.
That is a strong statement of the
case, but the Post" goes on to say
that the Ohio situation had no parallel
in the political history of the country.
After the State Convention nominated
Hanna, and nearly every district and
county convention did the same, mem
bers of the party who took Office under
those conditions refused to stand fast
and carry out the will of the party.
There have been cases where good rea-
son was shown for refusing to be bound
by caucus and convention one had en-
tered, but none was given in the Ohio
case, which thus became phenomenal.
It is not often, indeed the instances are
very few, says the Post" in which
party has in convention nominated a
person for United States Senator. The
Ohio case, is one OF the rare ones, then,
and all the more significant for that
fact.
In this case, despite the emphasis and
direction given, there were found Re-
publicans who bolted and joined hands
with the political enemy. From this
our contemporary draws the conclusion
that party bonds are disintegraing;
y
| enough to make men feel ashamed of
| party perfidy. 1t was not claimed that
Hanna was not a good Republican,; it
was not pretended that he had wavered
a particle from his faith, or in the
slightest changed in sentiment or ex-
| preston.
| One must conclude that it is very
difficult to define Ohio Republicanisn.
1t appears to have been crossed in the
grain, to have lost cohesive power, and
to have slipped some sort of a party
anchor Fractional Republicanism has
long characterized contending hosts
| in that State, but there are no in
stances of such fiagrant smashing and
Reputation Of obligations as punctu-
ated the Hanna campaign. 1t stands
altogether phenomenal and illustrative
more than anything else of the steady
increasing feeblenesss of partisan bonds
and obligations upon the consciences of
the men of the day.
If the Ohio case is symptomatic. as
| the POST holds, of tendencies which
are everywhere at work. then there is
going on a political change that in the
not distant future will result In sweep
ing party as We have it out of existence.
But party viii remain in one form or
another. We cannot conduct our sys-
4 tenn without that vehicle and medium.

The Record Union" is in favor. as it
has been these many moons, of the re-
cognition of the belligerency of the
Cuban insurgents. But all the same, if
it is done, it must be through and under
the rules of the House provided for in
such cases. 1t is not to be done to glor-
ify Missouri Congressman such as Mr..
De Almond. 1t is one thing to play to
the gallery and another to take grave
and weighty step, that may decide the
fate of a nation. The House squelched
De Almond and his lurid resolution, not
because ii does not sympathize with
the Cubans. but because recognition of
belligerency is to be brought about If at
all under the House rules, as the ma
jority has made them. and a majority al
ways makes all rules in legislative
bodies, outside of the Constitution.
