SHINING the Snakes.

Governor kirkwood is the Author OF q
Short CatecMsm for Viliicrs, which. he
embodied in his recent speech at Des
Moines and which affords good reflective
food for he nourishment of the weak
brethrca of the Democratic faith who
have bccu drctins upon the SANDERS and
l:beIs OF Inscriptions politicians. 1t is a
very easy thing TO make an assertion.
ANY one can do that although ii is not
everybody y no is \ successful liar. The
maxim that "a lie well stuck to is rs good
. as the truth" may DO for the ethics OF the
demagogue. but the time is sure to cone
when it will rebound and its utterers will
be the chief mcurrers. The persiStCncy
with which the opposition press has given
circulation to the most bold-faced and
impudcnt lies concerning Governor Kirk
wood is cquallcd only by Tie bold and
crushing rejoindcrs with which the Gov
error has met his trad&ccrs. Taking up
these SANDERS, seriatTs, the Governor
reviews the charges that have been made
against his character and good name:
That I had spcculdteGFa tax-t'!les. |
never bought one in my Fife, nor owned
one.
That / oisacd railroad stock. ! cnce
owned 5000 in railroad not built, which
/ sold for So. onct hougft 81 stock in

and never expect TO own, any such stock.

NOw that Mr.. Jane. Lick, the san Fran
cisco millionaire, has found out that be
isn't likely to die jnst yet, he thinks better,
or worse, Of his great scheme Of public
muuiiicenee. lie has executed revoca-
ton Of the magnificent sums conveyed by
him to trustees for various philanthropic
and patriotic purposes, but the trustees re-
fuse 10 give up the property, claiming that
they cannot safely and in justice do 80.
Litigation IS likely to ensue, in y hich even
this magnificent property will rapidly
dHindie, aud great scandal will grow out
Of the contest. On the other hand, ii the
property reyerts 10 the donor without dis
pute, it is evident that there will be some
serious modification OF the original plan.
Mr.. Lick decided away property valued at
large sum-from ZOO, 900 10 5000, 900.
lie expressly designated that 100000
should be spent in erecting and equipping
an astronomical observatory in California.
The sum OF 500, 900 was to he expended in
erecting monumental sculptures, 500, 900
in founding a school Of mechanical arts,
and other equally liberal provisions were
made by the aged philanthropist. He
seems to have found fault with the trustees,
who, probably, were not willing TO yield
to him the management Of the property
which be had fairly put out Of his hands.
1t is likely that he has been bothered by
relatives who thought they ought to have
slice OF the old mans wealth. And it is
probable that busybodies have worried
him by showing him how much better he
could have disposed Of his RICHES. At any
rate, he attempts to resume control Of his
property. The trustees say that his dis
posal was final and irrevocable. They did
not seek the trust conhded To them aud
they propose to go to law rather than give
it up. Perhaps Mr.. Lick's comparative es-
timate Of life when sick and when well is
similar to that ascribed to certain other
old gentleman under like circumstances:
When the devil ELs sick the devil . monk would BE-
