The earnest defence, by the Democratic Coun-

us Of old times, when the First Ward was divided,
two Democrats stuck into Council, a member
corrupted, and the rules Of Council over-ridden,
all in the interest of what proved, afterwArd, to
be an unsuccessful party effort. Some people
never learn that Honesty is the best Policy.

Holy Land apropos to the subject.
The town az Ramah owed the town
OF Gideon three thousand ShckelS. The
town of Gideon owed the town OF
Beth horn the same amount. The
town of Beth-horn owed the town OF
Ramah two thousand shekelS. The
land had been devastated that year by
lecusts and famine supervened. Every
one was looking out Tor himself. Three
suits had been commenced. and in
oriental courts the debtor goes in phi

to pay debt. Representatives from he
three cities threw themselves at the
feet Of King David, and implored his
interposition.
The king, hen becoming old was
engaged in training the mind Of his
youthful son Solomon, his successor.
He ordered the three delegates to i'm
plead their cases before the lad as arbi-
ter.
Solomon seating himself upon hi
fathers throne. listened Gravelv to the
whole statements and when all were
done he enquired Of the delegates from
Ramah. How much can you pay tos
Gideon on account OF your debt OF
1000 shekels" The answer was one
Thousand He commanded the dele
gates from Ramah to deposit that sum
in his hauds. 1t was done. He gave
a receipt in full to Ramah an ordered
the delegates to go home. Great cIa

every person makes audible. demon

Solomon now handed the Gibconitc

At this stage Of the proceedings, my
