harm done the party by the failure OF the Demo
cratic Legislature TO select man TO wear the
senatorial toga The battle between the TAM
manyites and the insurgents in the Legislature
who are fighting agains. the election Of William
Sheehan. the Murphy candidate, has been USED
by Republicans as evidence of the fact that Dem
ocrats in New York cannot agree on such large
and important matter, Each day the deadlock
drags through makes the factional lines the
broader and hope OF harmony more remote. Mr..
Sheehan has stumped the State of New York
while the Legislature was in session, an almost
uuheard-of procedure and still none OF the insur-
gents have been importuned by their constitu-
ents to change their votes, It is about time Mr..
Sheehan was convincing himself that not only
the insurgents in the legislature are opposed to
him. but the people OF the state do not favor his
election.

will consider the call that has been
made him to take charge OF the par
ish.
When DR.. Couplands declination
of the call came to the vestry. there
was such disappointment that the

be done. They believed that IL DR..
COPELAND could be pSevailed upon TO
come to New Orleans. see the church
in which he will preach. meet the
people who are so anxious to have
him. and realize the position he win
fill as the rector Of Trinity and the
successor OF a long line of distin-

bic Sunday morning to greet MIN. No
thing will be left undone TO show him
how much he Is wanted, and with
the attractions which will be held out

TO change his mind and accept. The
visit OF DIR. COPELAND Is considered a
partial triumph. ana when he comes
there will be some pressure brought
TO bear upon him" to make him re-

wonderful service for this country, and under
the insurgent banner he will continue to perform

He talks of conservation of natural resources,
preservation or water power, forest and mineral
lands, and other things which the busy world
does not believe it has time to give thought to
now. Conservation is regarded as a hobby OF
Mr.. Pnehots, and while many persons are enter
tanned by his talks and writings, they believe he
is kind Of monomaniac. He Ia therefore not

man Is so short. it is improbable that the present
generation or the next will fully realize what Mr.
Pinchot has been preaching about and what he

The saloonkeeper's Dog and the Drunkard's

Girl.
The saloonkeeper had a very fine dog;
lie was fed on steak and chicken and hog
The dog was fat and slick and round,
And had many friends of the men in town
The customers patted him on the head,
The dog a favorite and we'll fed
Whenever the family went for ride,
me dog went along, he was tucked inside.
He was washed and perfumed and kept
well clean,
While other poor dogs went hungry and
lean.
Up the street lived little girl;
To make 1t plain, we will call her Pearl.
Her father loved whiskey more than his
child,
He helped feed the dog. but his girl went
wild.
She never thought of taking a ride
Except at the time when her mother died.
Sometimes without shoes, in her little bare
feet,
She'd beg her bread In the crowded street
Pearls face was dirty day and night;
Her clothes were torn and she In Il plight.
She was often alone, this dear little daugh-
And While whiskey flowed she lacked for
water.
The folks uptown had not voted right,
And had fixed this child in all this plight
Isn't child as good a dog,
And should she live and grow like a hog
When little help from everyS man --
Can vote the aaloon clean out of the land
And then Pearl could have her dresses and
meals
For it's sin TO dog. il even he steals.
