The Fate of the stepchild.

A manager of the Morganza Reformatory
near Pittsburg says that "a large majority"
Of the children committed there have step
parents, that he believes their commitments
are due to the efforts of step-pai ents to get
rid of them and that s'many of them would
make obedient and respectable children if
they were humanity treated at homeo For
such children, lie truly says, the reformatory
is not misfortune, but in some respects an
opportunity
Presumably in most cases these little
sufferers become stepchildren through the
death of one parent and the blameless re-
marriage of the other How much more
unfortunate must be the child who is
orphaned by easy divorce, and whose very
features convey to his guardians, at heart
uncertain of their social and moral status, a
daily reminder of the still living wife or
husband
Advocates of easy divorce and freedom
orget the child.

Judge Parker's Self Control.
fFrom The Titusville Courierl

The mightiest man in existence is he who
controls himself Not another man in this
country, at least for a generation, has
himself SO perfectly master of himself as
has Judge Parker during the last few
months. And the prediction may safely
be made that before the end Of the present
campaign he will be acknowledged as one
Of the most forceful and successful leaders
the Democratic people have ever had.
Following Immediately the issue Of Judge
Parker's letter of acceptance, blaze Of
enthusiasm will cover the Democratic party
all over the country.
Let it be remembered that the Democrats
of New York. when united, have never
been defeated, and that the Democrats of
the nation, when united, have always
marched to victory. They are now perfectly
united.
