THE DEMOCRATIC MINORITY.

tE DEWOGRA iG MiNORi Y
 The Democratic minority in the present congress IS much smaller than any minority has been for many years, so small indeed, as to make tut small impression upon any leg islalion and utterly ineonsequential where any partisan measure is con cerned Of the aS6 members of the house, 249 are Republican and the Democrats can marshal only 137 votes.
 But that minor ty, meagre as it is, and helpless 10 make anything beyond a protest where partisan legislation is attempted, can still, under the capa- hle leadership Of Mr Williams, do much to make it's influence fel; in the country at large by cooperating tn minority of the Republican party to secure the passage of measures con cucive to the general welfare. By uniting with that contingent of the oPpoSilioll ldNoFdDIe to rate le2lSla- ton, it can secure the passage of law of Democrat origin; and very recent Republican adoption By join ing forces with the Republican mem. hers who have read the signs in the skies, 1t can bring tariff revision Iron nently to the front and make opportunity for it's discussion, even if no legislation ensues.
 The minority is small and. perhaps. for that very reason, will be more compact and easier to handle for ef. fectiye work along the lines ndicat. ed. IL will not be tempted to fritter away it's strength upon hopeless par, t1san undertakings bu; watching its opportunities will be able to ao ef- fective work along the lines indieat. ed.

I life would brighter be if people
Learned to keep within the line
Of the path Of truth and honor
Take the lesson, little miss,
i, Fin the years with deed and action
As your pen will fashion this.
Though at first your letters waver
Try to bettsr ev'ry page,
Try to grow in goodness, baby,
AS you grow i'll greater age.

Laugh at the pathos and cry at
theJobes,
Doas it pleasetb, for f0Jbs are
foJtS,
and laughter is better than
S0Tr01O and tears
There are SORROWS enough as
ne number the years.

Bent the judges head, and softly
Rolled the tears a-down his check;
Love has thrown the gage to duty:
lis it blood the law would seek?)
And theIcharge upon the docket
Blotted is with falling tears,
And the judges heart is roaming
Through the meadows Of the years,
Plucks again the boyhood roses
From amid the thcrns of life,
Dreams again the peaceful visions,
Hears ag in the fearful strife,
Till at last his tongue is loosened
But the tear drops freezer flow
AS he speaks it III tremor,
''Billie Mason--You can go!
Massa Sam is sworn to justice
But he still may pay the fine,
Seven months or fifty dollars,
Let the clerk the record sign?
Though It wasn't wrong to forage.
Yet it's wrong to steal a COW
whats the next case, Mr.. Sherif?)
And we call it stealing now"
