H5NRY WALTEMATH,
Regard For Tko Law.
Editor Thihune: Tlie editorial
in Harper's Weekly of March 23d
on Benjamin Harrison is well
worth the careful reading of every
thoughtful citizen, and I' commend
it' to our high school students as an
excellent supplement to their study
of civics. Speaking of some of the
strong points of his character, one
especially noted was his absolute
loyalt' to our true sovereign, the
law, nnd says in comment that
"the man who knows that law is
king, the law of the being of the
republic, is the man in whose hands
the government of the people, bv
the people, and for the people is
safest.'' And if this is truly the
one sure foundation upon which
our republican institutions rest,
should it not apply with equal
force to the government of Mie
smallest municipality as to that of
the greatest state? Will not a dis
regard and contempt for the law,
framed by ourselves for our own
benefit and protection, and the
benefit and protection of our chil
dren, breed in us and in them a
disregard and contempt for all law?
Does not our sufferance of the
violation of law by the vicious, de
praved and ignorant clement ol
our community, tend to the de
moralization ol our civic life, and
the lowering of our moral stand
point? Let us then frankly acknowledge
our duties and responsibilities as
citizens loyal to the law, endeavor
ty our influence and by our ballots
id redeem our community from the
degradation of lawlessness anil
vice. The leaders and representa
tives of the people in the coming
years are in training now. What
they shall be, and whether the re
public with all its beneficent and
glorious achievements shall endure,
lepeuds upon that training, nnd re.
gardless of party or of anything
that may confuse the issue, all
uood citizens should unite on a
platform dedicated and devoted to
civic righteousness.
Frank B. Bullard
Buffalo Hill's Daujhtor.
From the New Yorker March 10th.
When tlie young ladies who at
tend Miss Brown's fashionable
-cliool heard that the daughter ol
Buffalo Bill was to come to New
York and be one of theiniuordei
hat like them, she might become
the finished article, they talked of
little else for several days. They
were unaware that Miss Cody s
room had already been prepared
fr its charming occupant. They
liscussed the expected addition to
their ranks as if she were a new
and hitherto unseen variety. One
girl suggested that Buffalo BII1V
daughter would wear her hair down
her back, that her skirt would be
very short and made ot umauued
deerskin, and that deerskin leggins
and moccasins would aNo form part
of her attire. The next day this
particular girl noticed a newcomer
in one of the parlorB. The stranger
was pretty, well set up and looked,
in the matter of clothes, as if she
had been turned out by an uncom
monly competent tmidiste. Also
she seemed to be quite at home in
tier new surroundings. The pair
-oon foil into conversation. There
was nothing said or done by tlie
-tranger that did not smack of New
York and the old girl was wonder
ing what was the name of her new
and attractive friend when the
hitter invited the old girl to her
room. On the walls of the room
were a pair of suowshoes, a couple
of guns, several bowie knives, some
magnificent deer and buffalo horns,
while upon tlie floor lav a splendid
bearskin. My! exclaimed the old
girl, clasping her hands in wonder.
This room mi','hi belong to Butlalo
Bill's daughter. It does, was the
calm reply. Well, I never, ex
claimed the old girl, so surprised
that she broke into slang. But
how was I to utiess? she add.d.
And Miss Cody has been a prime
favorite and the spectacular scholar
of the school ever since.
Dr, Seymour's mnnv friends and
patients will be triad to learn that
he has arranged for a peisonal visit

Oota Back His Wallot.
While in Chicago on the 17th
Inst , R A. Douglas was robbed of
his wallet containing his railroad
ticket, seventy dollars in bills, and
several important papers. He did
not discover his loss until he was
on the train and when he reached
home he made out a statement and
sent it to the chief of police in
Chicago.
Saturday morning Mr. Douglas
received a letter from the Chicago
postmaster stating that a wallet
belonging to him had been sent to
that office, that it contained a num
ber of papers, and by remitting
fourteen rents the wallet would be
sent to him. The amount was re
mitted nnd Mr. Douglas has re
ceived the wallet, but the money
was missing. The thtet had ex
tracted the currency and fiudine
that the papers were of no value to
him, but were to the owner, sent
the wallet to the Chicago post
office. The letter from the Chicago post
office had been mailed to Mr,
Douglas tat a point in New Jersey
and then forwarded here This is
evidence that the thief sent the
wallet to the postoflice the day he
took it.
