whatever doubt remained that somebody got the money raised to pass the Fire mens Salary And that being the case the question is what did he do with It The American mind finds it difficult to accept the idea of a government like that of claims recognition as an independent and yet which is unable after two months notice to raise the insignificant sum of which to discharge an undisputed The people of the United States raise six times that amount every day merely to meet their pension payments for a war which ended thirty years If it should unfortunately prove true that the rocksalt supply of

misled by reading the official opinions of another member of the Cabinet on the subject of trusts and This would undoubtedly be a mitigating Great Britain takes unopposed possession of Corinto only to

greater difficulty than many of them but It Is a work worth prose cuting with patience till It Is fully It was a great gain when the orderly people of tho city last fall demonstrated their capacity to unite and to carry an election In behalf of But that was not The forces of corrup tion are Intrenched at and they must be driven out of their stronghold before anybody will be permitted to govern this city Our despatches during lost week showed clearly where the difficulty lies nnd what the remedy must This Legislature IB not In sympathy with the popular desire for honest municipal We must see to It that a better Legislature Is elected next Wo must secure a Legislature that Is not one that will not dicker for Uie advancement of Jake Worth on tho one hand nnd the protection of Koch on the We must see to It that Senators who have themselves sot up and christened a seduction chamber In which to bargain away with lobbyists their own honor and the public welfare are beaten for Everything that has been secured from this Legislature has been wrenched from It by It Is our business to see to It that we have a Legis lature next year from which It will not be sary to extort President Low has suggested the remedy and the method of Its The appeal should be to the people In all the Senatorial and Assembly There should be an organized cam covering the whole conducted with tho sole purpose of securing the election of honest and sincere men to the whether they be Republicans or We should appeal directly and with all possible earnestness to honest men la every district to do as the Republican County Committee of Westchester did when it publicly notified the representatives of that county that their own party would oppose the tlon ot every man among them who failed to go straight on the reform In every case in which the recalcitrant secures a and a satisfactory candidate IB not nominated by the opposing there should be a third nomination to divide the vote and defeat the The Robertsons and their fel lows should be beaten In their party conventions If and If not they should be beaten at the The circumstances are all There will be no Presidential or Gubernatorial contest this year to crystallize party It only needs that a campaign for reform shall be organized early and prosecuted with under the new Constitution the next Senate will be numerically larger than the present and therefore less easily managed by the lobbyist engineers of deals and If those who won last years victory for reform are still alert and In earnest the outlook Is very handsome now theatre

the question ot There Is one which must have challenged the attention of many It raises the question how far parental training and example really shape the character of Does tho bending of the twig govern the Inclination of tho tree The heroine of Allens story sought to re generate humanity and to benefit her sex by step ping outside tho custom of society and tho rule of all civilized She would not have a lawful husband as tho father of her And sho sought to train up her daughter to share her own principles and Sho failed Whon the child went to school she considered the moral standpoint of the other girls a great deal more sensible than the moral standpoint of her mothers She showed her Individuality by evolving for herself all the threadbare plati tudes of ordinary Instead of sharing her mothers Utopian ideas she had that mean admiration for position and adventitious advantages which Is the mark of the essentially aristocratic or snobbish As the author she admired people because they were because they were because they were because they were respected not because they were because they were because they were because they were The differences went The divergence was The daughter when grown de and abandoned her mother nnd broke her Whereupon the author says There Is no more silly and persistent error than the belief of parents that they can Influence to any ap extent the moral Ideas and Impulses of their These things have their springs In the bases of character they are the flowers of Individual ity nnd they cannot bo altered or affected after birth by the

in the magazines are supposably productions and are far above the laws governing the melodies of Tom Moore or The first of these laws is The second Is concealed Such a melody as the Last Rose of Summer la remembered by every one because both In its verse and air it Is a very simple repetition of a few elementary The same rule holds In Annie as it does in My to and hymns like which are remembered by every The air which represents the nearest approximation possible on a musical instrument to the vocal sounds goes back and forth over a few chords with only change enough to prevent the ear from detecting the Hence such airs are universally Scotch and melodies take bold on the ear and on the heart because they are thus artistically And their simplicity Is fully and truly so that there can be no higher When our poets learn that lesson we shall hear no further complaint that the people have ceased to care for long and Interesting discussion In the French Chamberon the subject
