One night, after she had crept to her
bed of rags, bruised and orc from Old
Nan's daily beating, she had heard the
South Wind softly blowing past the
window, and she whispcre I:
Oh! .vouth Wind, have pity on me! I
am beaten ami worked and starved! He
kind to a poor orphan girl!"
Hut I can not soften Old Nan's
heart," answered the breeze, "nor can I
bring you food."
"You can take a message for 1110."
To whom?''
".Mv mother in Heaven.''
"U'hat is the message?''
"Tell her that my days are full of
misery, anil my nights are long with
sorrow. I want to he with her in
Heaven.''
"Sleep, child, and I will be ir your
message!" whispered the wind; and she
forgot her wretchedness and. sleeping,
dreamed of green vallevs and such beau

of joy and awoke Old Nan.
"How dare you!" growled the hag:
and .she beat the child again and again

ON TRIAL.
The I,-nn Wlilrh thr I.atc IlrfVat Should
Teach tlir Itrnuhllcan I'urty.
It is commonly said that the Demo
cratic party is on trial So it W, for the
first time in twenty-live years it ca
pacity to govern and its fitnes- for the
responsibilities of power are bo'ug tried.
I'ul in, a sejiie equally true, the ltepub
lican party is on trial. It is ca!Jc I to
new dut.es. Thirty years ago it began
to teach the jMjople Republican princi
ples, and taught them with such vigor
and earnestness that itsoon commanded
success. Though MHiieof the old issues
have pa.s.cd away, the principle of
g .vernmeiit which made the l'cpu'jlican
partv what it was still live, and are -till
as necessary to the welfare of the coin
try as ever. Yet they receive, in the
(lection of liciiiIhts of Congress, rela
tively less support than they received
nearly thirty years ago. This is in part
localise, enjoying power and public
confident , the Republican have to
Fome extent neglected the duty of teach
ing their principles an J making them
clearly understood. If. now that it is
out of power, the Republican party has
iit the eal to take up again the work
of poptil.ir education, if it has not the
firm convictions and the devotion to the
public welfare whit h inspired its . arlicr
day, itunay fail to oust the adver.-ary
who is now intrenching himself in the
(loverumeut.
To c trry on this work with success
there is need, first of all. a greater cm
lidcnce in political principles, and in
their power with the in. II o 1 vo'crs
than the R-publican party has of lat-j
years in uiilVs'.ed. There has b'-en ap
parent, in soni parts of the country at
least, a disposition to rely m re upon
other agencies than upon the earnest
prcscntat'ou of political truths. Here
and there some Republican leaders
have had more confidence in manage
ment, more faith "in temporary tricks
and devices, than in the power of ideas
on the millions of voters. A defea has
conic to remind us all that a party h:u
irj business to exist unless on the whole
it embodies and expre-.os the convic
tions of the p-ople upon ital questions
of public pohcy. Where the people
have such convictions, which the Re
publican party has strengthened and
de-peii'Ml. and to which it has uncoui
prom'singly appealed, it has been rc
AVardcd by such .xplcnd d majorities as
were riven in Pennsylvania and some
other States.
The party is on trial. If it will stoop,
as the Democratic party has done for
many years, to seek success by all sorts
of trickery and knavery, by the shallow
arts of the denrigoeiie. In appeals to
error or preimlice. or by attempted dis
honesty m elections, it will at least
prove that it ought not to succeed. The
question will then be whether, in such
a strife of degrading aims and methods,
it can .ncrcome a party which has
tra'tted itself for more than thirty years
to seek .success by any means whatever,
and has at last .succeeded by false pre
tenses. The truth is that the Repub
lican part has within it large I odics
of oters w.iio will not stoop to any
form of cheating, and who will not con
H'ttt. as many Democrats do, to support
a party widen profeses to be one thing
here and ano'h r thing then. If the
Republican party is to .succeed at all, it
must Miccc.-d by honest, faithful an 1
unswerving adherence to its principles
by merit and not by trickery.
The Republican party is to be tried,
moreover, in the duties of an opposi
tion. Perhaps the motives of a party
are. never more clearly disclosed than in
it., treatment of adversaries to whom
the responsibility of government has
been intrusted. If it is an honorable
and patriotic opposition, it will praise
without hesitation ami support without
reserve every step that is really for the
public welfare. It will seek to shield
no wrong, and show no d-'sire to im
pute wrong where -ione exists. It. will
manifest aino ig its leaders that genu n
harmony which comes oelv fro-n a
stronger desire for the public we'fare
than for the promotion of any persona!
ambition. It. tested in this way. the
Republ can pr' proves worthy of the
high tiu t which has s. long been given
it, the contrast between its conduct ami
that of the Democratic party when in
opposition will go far to shape the ver
dict of the pco.de in future elections.

AFTER TWENTY-FOUR YEARS.
The 1'tt-r SnM-trsiio4 of th Awtc
ICIrrtion IlemsiniU fr l'lirRUtiou.
The chief staple of Democratic wam
a:gn onitory anil literature for ado..;n
years past has been the charge, repeat
ed in a thousand shapes and on all pos
sible occasions, that the departments in
this city were "reeking with corrup
tion." The most resonant and inspir
ing shibboleth of Democratic cam
paigns has been: "Turn the rascals
out." So incessantly and forcibly has
this "corruption " been dwelt upon, so
graphical'- have the " rascals " been
painted, so moving has Ikmmi the pict
ure of the (ioverumeat in the hands
of " thieves." that the Democratic
masses were really educated into the
belief that riotous rascality was the
rule and mauly honesty the exception
in the executive departments.
During the rece.it Presidential cam
paign the Department were frequently
spoken of as Augean sUbles. We be
lieve it was Senator Pa"ye. of Ohio, a
gentleman whose 'oAjfr standard of
o licial integrity has boeir mentioned in
connection wi.h the Standard o.l. who
gave utterance to eloquent thoughts on
"this Augean stable topic And. if we
recall the incident of the campaign
c rrectly. the Hn. Thomas A. Hen
dr eks. guide, philosopher and friend of
Joseph K. McDonald dwelt with so
norous ponderosity on th.; same ex
hruistless theme as he passed from
stuno to stump. The Demratie
Hercules whom they had nominated
for the Presidency" was billed and
posted to clean outthe Augean stables,
and the conn ry was to w.tuess a sub
lime moral spectacle the exodus of
rascals' and the advent of patriots.
Well, Hercules came in a month ago
to-day. but where; is the cleansing?
Where are th- "rascals?" What are
the facts to show that there was one
it a of truth in the charge of general
corrupl.on in the service? A few em
ployes who were d 'ernci superfluous
have been discharged. A few others
have been transferred from the White
House to Department rolis. A few old
horses anil vehicles have been sold, but
ther. has not leen uttered a single hint
that "rascality" has been detected. In
the removal of prominent oiiieials. such
as the heads of bureaus, there has been
no pretense of any other object than to
get Republicans 6:it and Democrats in.
A writer in the Boston Journal calls at
tention to interesting facts in this con
nection. He says:
The Departments which the Demo
cratic organs asked to have investi
gated, particularly the Navy, seem to
be going on as usual, the Secretary even
going so far as to refuse to rescind th
orders of his uredecs-or. The Post-rnaster-Ci'eneral
has informed a friend
that his Department was found by h'm
to be in excellent shape, and ho has
alfadv informed ofiicers t otiwete J
with t lie po ta! railway nvrvlce that it
was Mi eli'ieieM that lie should not make
any lemovaK"
Ace irdlng to a correfjvnndn: of the
Cinco.nati Cmiunrrc ilut.c'J. one of
the new heads of the department. -tatcd
in the pre ence of .-veral gentlemen
th t he was surprised 'at the discipline,
industry and compel ney whiih he
found in his de, artiuetit." becau-e he
had come V b-Iice from the contanl
charges made that the departments
were full of polit.eal creatures ami vi-competent-,
and that they needed thr
ough overhauling. The statement J
the Cabinet member in question is .-
emphatic that we copy it:
" He had become convinced that in
no private establishment in the land, no
matter how strict! conducted, was
there the perfect'on of system, the thor
oughness of discipline, the general
faithfulness and elliciency. that existed
in his department. There are men in
the offices who h ive spe-it their liv.y
there, and who are as much a part of
the stem as a spoke is a part of the
wheel. When I want to kn nv anything
in mv department tLe messenger who
has been th-re for many years can tell
what gentleman to call upon., and he
will come in and tell me anything I
want to know down to die minutest
points, and go b .ck a generation in p r
soital knowledge, and in a moment can
lay hi- hand upon and produce anything
in the wa of hi-torv. documents or writ
ten matterformyinformation. Now. xtip-po-e
1 put such men a tho-e out for
party reasons and till their places with
new men more utterly ignorant of the
matters of the d-partment than I am
myself, do wm not. .. tliat it would le
ruinous to the department and to the
(iovernmetit, though it would satisfy
some political workers? I was sur
prised, too, to find what a large pro
portion of the men are in 11 of family,
sober, quiet, reliable citizens, dung
their duties steadily, fa thfully. and
ciliciently. rearing families and holding
their place in the world as good citi
zens, husbands and fathers. A large
proportion of the clerks are of this char
acter, ami I have not b"eii able to trace
a score of men so far, placed in the de
partment for purely political reasons."
This, jt should be remembered, is the
testimony of a Democratic official who
would not lies tate to expos and make
party capital out of, rascality, corrup
tion, or even inefficiency, if he found it.
Well may the Hoston Journal remark
that, "taking this Deinocrai as a wit
ness, twenty-four ears of Republican
rule has given the c mntrv a v-ll-nigh
perfect civil-service in the departments
at Washington." XaliomU Itcpublican.
THE AMENDMENTS.
Some I'a.-tt Wl.irh It I Important the
IVuple Slit. ill. I l.'n.ltTHt.'liKt.
It is important the people should
understand clearly the pos.tion taken
by the Senate in regard to the appoint
ment of the Rc'jd (Jeneral I.awton as
Minister to Russia. The objection to
Lawton was not based merely on the fa t
that he had serve. I in the Rebel army,
but on the ground that he had never
asked or obtained tin: removal of his
disabilities, and his appointment would
therefore tie illegal and in ejohition of
the Fourteenth Amendment to the Con
stitution. The Senate Committee sim
ply declared that under this amendment
Lawton was not el-gible. The Repub
lican Senators were not governed by
personal or party feeling in the matter,
for they had suppressed such sentiments,
and spent scver..l weeks in confirming
Cleveland's appointments of Rebels to
the best positions incite gift of the (Jov
cniment. Rut whei it came to tt.e ap
pointment of unpardoned and un re
generated Rebels who still glory in their
treason the. Senators pointed to the law
which declares such men incapable of
holding office under the L'n t d Mates.
Thereupon Cleveland withdrew the
name of his unrcg-'uerated R. bid. and
apparently dropped the idea of appoint
ing Lawton to office. No sooner had
the S nate adjourned, however, than it
was announced th it Cleveland intended
to appoint. Lawton and keep him in
office at all hazards until the next meet
ing of Congress. To this extent it is
propositi to violate the law in the inter
est of an unrepentant Rebel.
The law which applies to this and all
similar ease wid le loind in the third
section of the Fourteenth Amendment,
which reads as follows:
No H.Msoii shall he a Senator or ltepreentn
tive In Conjfrrss, or ltlectorof l'res.deiit utnl
Vleo-Pre s!lont, or hold nnr otliccs, civil 01
military under the t'lilt.-d Siates. or under nnj
State, vrho. tuiv nir ieviouly taken an ontr
s momlwr of Oomriu. or n- an officer n!
the t'liitct Slutes. or u 11 mem! or of am
State I.efilntiire. or ns mi executive or Ju.ll
cial oftlccr t f ativ Suite, to support the Con
Ftitntioii of th- United States, shall have en
taya-d In insurrection or rebellion neultisl tin
yntne. or (riven nit or comfort to the enemies
thnreof Hut Congress nitty hy a vote of two
thirds of each liouxe n-ni .v ?uch disability.
This was a provision of extraordinary
lilxrality. In the first place it re ieved
wholly tho gruat mass of rebels, inas
much a? they were young men and had
never held an office of any kind. The
specification covering the cases of men
who has previously held offices and
taken an oath to support the Constitu
tion of the United Stxte was of snch a
character tlurt it released the rank and
file of the men who erved in the Rebel
army and aimed to hold the ringleaders
and chief spirits to some degree of ac
countability. Kven the were not
punished in any way except hy dis
qualifying them from holding office,
ami Congress was givem power to re
move e.-en that disability. Such was
the generous spirit of the jMiople in
adopt ng the fourteenth amendment
which ref ered the mass of Rebels a;
once, and held out the promise of par
don even to the ringleaders of the Re
b dlion if thev wouhlshow the slightest
signs of repentance.
Lawton is a man who comes within
the terms of the Fourteenth Amend
ment. Ind.fd. ills cae is peculiarly
aggravated, since he was educated at
West Point bv the flovemmen he aft
erwards sought to tics roy. Neverthe
less there has been a full opirtunity
for him to obtain pardon at aay tune.
Dur'ng Republican ascendancy it wa
the rule in Congress to grant complete
amnes'y to any rebel who would conde
scend to ask for it Tne mere applica
tion for pardon was deemed a suiticieat
sign of repentance. Lawtoa, Toombs.
Jacob Thompson and JetT Davis were of
the stripe of" rebels who wonld never
condescend to a-k to be made citizens
of tlfe United States. At any time
within ths last sixteen years Lawtu
could have been restored, by simply
making the request, but he took his
stand with Toombs, Jeff Davis, and the
other unrepentant rebels who would
never condescend to ask a removal of
their disabilities. And now comes a
Democratic Administration declaring
this man is eligible to one of the high
est offices in the Government, and that
the provision of the Fourteenth Amend
ment which applies to his case is utter
ly void and will not be respected! Chi

OVER 200 PER CENT. PROFIT. !

plain of the llitr.l Titnr.
As the. crowd of passengers on the
early morning trains conn surging
down Park row from the City Hall ele
vated station, the familiar cry of the
street-venders scattered along at short
intervals attracts very little attention.
An old man with a voice which dies
away in a sad cadence, singiotit: Tin"
leather shoe-springs, five cents a pair."
H- has stood there for years, and of
fered for sale nothing but long leather
shoe-stringJ. He pays a license to ped
dle on the streets, and has a right to se
lect his locality.
How is the shoe-string business
now?" asked a New York Mail and Ex
press reporter of the old man.
"Not so good as it was ten years ago.
Too many buttons and elastic-fastened
shoes are made nowadays. Pour peo
ple are getting high-toned and wvar
button-shoes. Times are naid to be
ha:d. sir. but I manage to live well and
support my family."
Then you mut sell a great many
f fairs of shoe-strings a day and make
arge profits."
Well, no: I don't sell so many, but
my profit arc large. I buv the strings
by the wholesale, and make over two
hundred per cent, on them. I don't
have to pay any clerk hire, gas bill or
rent; everything is clean, clear profit
Some rainy days I don't sell any, but
on fair days I make up generally. Sat
urday affernoon is my big business
time. All the laboring people are paid
off then, and a pood many wear com
mon shoes that tie. Fasing along they
are attracted by the length, quality,
cheapness and ."superior smcllrng od I
liavc on my strings. The oil has a
great deal "to do with the salr of
strings. When I first started in btisi
essi tifteea years ago I lost a great
many customers by using bad-smelling
oil. The oil wa tine, but that dida t
matter; the smell had all to do with the
sale. We get so after several years
thai we know oar regular customers,
and our ambition is to add more to
ti.em. and at the same time catch tho

well as heavier ones.
Many ball dresses of tulle have bands
of four-inch to five-inch velvet run
round at equal disfince from the edge.
The velvet is the same color as the
skirt, and the low bodice, wth pointed
has pie, is aNo of velvet. Flowers or
feathers are fre piently put into loops of
velvet ribbon, in a darker shade, or lied
with them. For the present, ball skirts
ot snowy white, primrose yellow or
palest gray are trimmed with shaded
Neapolitan violets, fastened among the
flounces or bonillonccs, either across
the front or down one side, connected
by straps of dark violet velvet. The
end of the velvet are tinished off with
a small bunch of the flowers.
.Some evening skirts have six or seven
silk llouncos tip to the waist, with
pmked out edges, and lace llonnees an
inch or two narrower laid over them.
There is an extra tlotiuce at the back to
gve a full appearance below the wan',
fhe 1. .dices are Usually round waiste 1.
or with Swiss pointed bands, and the
skirts touch the ground. Uthcrs have
three flounces from the left hip. drawn
across the front in a slanting direction,
and finished otf with Ihiws of dillercnt
colored velvet, the back le.ng arranged
with fullness or long phuts. A. J.
