Mention is made of a very astonishing
Quaker in Sheffield, England. Friend al
fred WolsteRholm has been rebuked by a
coaner's jury for refusing to pull child
not of a shallow brook in which it was
drowned. He was, on the other hand,
moved to go to the house at some dis
lance for aid, his excuse being that he
"did not wish to wet his trousers"

The Legislature of Missouri has been
petitioned by the Grand Juries of several
counties to revive the whipping post in
that State. The Bouns County jury argues
that "more punishment is imposed on the
honest taxpayer than is inflicted on the
criminal by small pecuniary fires or
short terms of imprisonment,

The new army bill meets with general
appropriation, but it has powerful OPP
position in small but very select circle
of army officers, who are doing hard
work for their country in Washington
society. If the bill passes, these fighting
men will have to go with their regiments
out on the plains and other cheerful
places where there is no Washington
society.

Mike McCoole, who is to re-enter the
prize ring next summer, began life as a
fat-boatmau; got saloon in st. Louis
and was worth $4,000 when his wife, a
pretty and educated girl of good family,
eloped, taking part of his property; he
spent the rest of it in vain pursuit of her
and her paramount, st. Louis drummer,
to Texas, and now the ex-champion has
resumed work on the river.

Moody says that the people who hold
fairs in churches have now 'got so far
that for twenty-five cents young men can
come in and kiss the handsomest woman
in the room" This is bad enough, but
Brother Moody is probably not informed
that in some of the churches things have
come to pass that instead of fixing the
price of this particular sort of entertain
ment at twenty-five cents, it is down to a
dime. 1t is net probable that the fair
going public will demand further reduc-
tons.

John Chinaman can be commended for
but few things. Among the few, however,
is one of great virtue. Il is his strict idea
of finance, and how bank should
conduct its business. An upright and
enterprising man in China w4o under
takes to constitute himself bank there
by assumes most serious consequences
should he fail. After a collapse of his
financial institution, his head is always
to be found numbered among the assets,
Such law in America would weed out
many rotten, corrupt rascals.

Few people understand that money is
merely the measure Of value, and that its
real worth is what it will buy, and uot
the exsct receipt of the material of which
the coin is composed; of course that is
worth considering, as in some sense the
intrinsic value is like the security offered
for a mortgage. In the olden time a
penny in copper paid for fat goose, and
the laborers who got every man penny
were very well paid. In the early part
Of our present century penny would
buy an acre of land in Kentucky, and in
the literature of that period, we read of
the great excitement here in the East
when it was reported that there had been
a rise by the influx of population to two
pence an acre.

In Wyoming, where lovely women can
vote if she will. she doesn't. OrlJ one
woman in the Territory has ever been
elected to Office by the people, and now
official station is never demanded by any
member of The sisterhood. Not half the
women in Cheyenne have cast vote
since the first two elections. Although
there are separate polling places Tor the
sex, respectable women stay away from
the polls and keep out of politics. The
only women who take an interest in
elections are those of the baser sort.

Professor Huxley has been speaking
recently at Manchester or the subject of
the decay of nations, in the natural de-
cadence OF which he did not believe
that theory, he was inclined to think,
having been invented by towards to ex-
cuse knaves. So far as the old English
stock is concerned, his belief was that it
had as much vitality and power as two
centuries ago, and after pruning and
wedding there would be products as good
as there were before. The weeds he rec
ocnized were three-dishonesty senti-
mentality and luxury.

tOt0eH Oe4I c0o1mef Wef0 oWay.'
The State Register of this morning
says:
Judge Knapp, the hard money can
didate Of the soft money or Rationale
party of Iowa for Supreme Judge,
has been spending day or two in
Des Moines, consulting anxiously
with his friends. The Judges trouble.
10 just this: He wants to be Supreme
Judge II he can,-and il not, he wants
to keep ON being District Judge
And, % his time is out for the later
place this year, he must ifhe 10 going
to take that, be . candidate for re-
election this fall, and he does not see
just how he can be . candidate for
that and Supreme Judge Ut the same
friends. He has an idea, very tick
ling to his ambition, that II he can
get the nomination Of his own party,
the Democracy, as well ~ that Of the
party OF the 6reenback idea to which
he 10 opposed, no can make the rifle
for the upper bench. But II he shall
decide to try for that, he will have to
give up the other-and thus may lose
both. Our affectionate advice to the
anxious gentleman 10 that II he wants
to be . Judge he had better keep the
seat he now has, and which he fills
very well indeed, as the people Of all
parties admit. For he stands just ~
good chance oftaking the excursion
that Elijah did as he does of being
elected to the Supreme bench this
year. The Judge would do we'll to
read the fable OF tho dog that crossed
the bridge with good piece of meat
In his mouth, aud saw the shadow
dog aud shadow meat in the water.
He would better not lose the sub
stance by jumping for the shadow.
The Register should not iatter the
Judge with any hopes In this district.
Let there be NO false pretenses, Mr..
Rsgistev, to keep the Judge of the
State ticket.
