My Mothers Bible
This book is al that's left me nowl
Tears will unbidden start;
With faltering lip and throbbing brow,
l press il to my heart.
For many generations past,
Here is our family tree;
My mothers hands this Bible clasped;
She dying gave 1t me.
All! we'll do ! remember those
Whose names these records bear;
Who round the hearth stone used to clos
After the evenings prayer.
And speak Of what these pages said
In tones my heart would thrill
Though they are with the silent dead,
Here are they living still.
My father read this holy book
To brothers, sisters dear;
How calm was my poor mothers look,
Who leaned Gods word to hear
Her angel facet see IL yeti
What thronging memories come!
Again that little group is met
Within the halls of home.
Thou truest friend man ever knew,
Thy constancy I've tried:
Where all were false, found thee true,
My counsellor and guide
The mines of earth no treasure give
That could this volume buy:
In teaching me the way to live
1t taught me how TO die.

The following story of the intimacy and
regard that existed between Lincoln and
Mai. Gen. Daniel f.. Sickels, says the New
York Tribune, was told by the general
himself at a recent afternoon reception
given by Princess Salm-Salm In her
apartments, at the Hotel Cambridge

entered heartily into the joke, but no
one seemed equal to the task of being the
first. Whereupon l turned to Princess

reception was magnificent and most of

The Mazet Investigation.

A committee Of the New York Legislature,
known as the ''Mazet Committee, after the
name of the chairman, is investigating New
York city affairs. The star witness has been
Richard Croker, the Tammany leader, and
he has been subjected to a very searching, if
not impudent investigation, touching his pri-

to show that Croker and his sons are proiting

private profits without service rendered. The
Committee by strict party vote declined 10
take up Mr.. Plait's matters, and have thus in

to investigate Plat as we'll as Croker, shows

The Reliable Colored Vote.

A few years ago the Republicans of West
minister held secret meeting at Odd Fellows
Hall, none being admitted except those in
vited. During the session a eolored speaker
told the meeting that the colored vote was
solid and did not need any looking after; that
it was the reliable vote of the party and that
it was the whites who needed watching. How
faithful is the colored voters has recently
been shown in Baltimore. They are so IN
tent upon continuing ''gud gov'ment' in that
city under Master that the total colored reg
istration is 300 in excess ofthe actual colored
vote of the city. Surely the colored vote is
solid for the Republican party and needs not
to be told of the importance of getting regis
tered. The Reform League is looking up the
extra 1900, but it will be difficult to find all
of them, and those not found will be recorded
as voting on May ID, and all will be for Nal,
ster and ''gud gov ment.

WESTMINSTER, MD.
Quay Defeated,

The Pennsylvania Legislature adjourned at
noon on Thursday without electing a success
sor to Mr.. Quay, and that great state will have
but one Senator until another legislature shall
elect one. This will leave four vacancies in
the Senate, one each from California, Utah,
Delaware and Pennsylvania. In the last two
states the Republicans had large majorities on
Joint ballot but enough Republicans revolted
to defeat Addicks in Delaware and Quay in
Pennsylvania. The last ballot taken by the
Pennsylvania legislature resulted IN SO votes
for QUAY, IS for jerks, Democrat, and 60 tor
Jones, Republican, the latter receiving the
votes of the anti Quay Republicans. After
the ballot almost riot was created in the
Senate by the introduction of a resolution IN
structing the Attorney General to prosecute
Quay and others who had been charged with
receiving interest on the states money.
The division ofthe Republicans of Pennsly-
vania into Quay and anti Quay factions deep
and serious. The division has been gradually
growing for some years, and the hypocritical
Wannamaker has contributed considerabl
toward it. Mckinley has also had hand in
the matter, and he will probably get his re-
ward by an anti Mckinley delegation from
Pennsylvania,,to the next national convention.
The Republican division, too, Is likely to re-
suit in the state going Democratic next fall,
and of making it debatable ground in the
Presidential election next year, thus making
the Republican National Committee expend
time and money in state where a Republ-
can walk-over has been the rule in national
contest.
Quay has been defeated. but the RePubli-
can party has disrupted itself in doing il.

his application on the ground that the Asso-

CHARGED WITH BRIBERY
Investigating Committee Of Penn
sylvania Legislature Names
Nine Men.

HARRIsBURG, Pa, April 17.-Majority and
minority reports were presented to the House
this evening from the committee which has
for several weeks past been investigating the
charges of attempted bribery in connection
with the balloting for United States Senator
and the consideration in the House of the
McCarrell Jury bill. The latter bill, which
was eventually defeated. was said to have been
introduced to aid former Senator Quay in his
then approaching trial on the charge of con
spiracy in the Philadelphia courts.
The majority report recites mt length the
testimony taken by the committee, and states
that the evidence disclosed clearly that undue
means were taken by many persons to cor
ruptly solicit members of the House, both for
the purpose of influencing their official action
in reference to the McCarrell jury bill and in
reference to their official action rs to the cleo
ton of United States Senator.
This corrupt solicitation, the report states,
consisted of offers of money, position, advam-
tage and political preferment. The report
charges that in furtherance of an unlawful
conspiracy to carry out the scheme rooms
were maintained at the Lochiel Hotel, IN
Harrisburg, for the purpose OF having mem
bers of the House brought there that they
might be approached in reference to the sub
jects referred to.
Those who maintained these rooms and
corruptly approached certain members, the
report alleges were John J. Coyle. Charles
B. Spatz. Thomas B. Moyles, Michael }, Cos
tello and Martin Lawler Other persons are
named as having been engaged in efforts to
corruptly solicit members. Some of these are
passed over as merely deserving censure. In
the concluding paragraph OF the report nine
persons are named against whom the commit
tee recommends that legal action be brought.
This paragraph IS as follows In couclu-
sion. your committee respectfully report that

Reed to Retire.

Hon. Thomas B. Reed, of Maine, who has
beeR Speaker Of the House Of Representatives
for the past ten years, has concluded to re
sign his seat in the House and engage in the
practice of law in New York city, where he
is guaranteed an income Of $4,000 year by
a law firm. Mr.. Reed, perhaps, sees ma
tional defeat for his party, and does not want
any of it upon his shoulders. Mckinley will
be renomiuated next year, beyond all perad-
venture, and Algerism, Imperialism and brok-
en- promises on the currency, &c, will be too
much for him to carry. Besides, Reed is not

Gen. Lawton has publicly expressed the
opinion. after some months of campaigning
in the Manila district, that it will require
100. 900 soldiers to subdue the natives of the
Island of LuzOn alone. This is not encour-
aging. and there are about 1900 more islands
in the Philippine group. Lawton's opinion
derives importance from the fact that he has
had large experience in fighting Indians and
knows what guerilla warfare is.
