The Fnuny Mandarin.


PALMER COX.
There was a funny mandarin
Who had a funny way,
OF sliding down the balustrade
a dozen times day.
With arms In air and streaming hair,
AT risk of bone and brain,
Around and round the winding stair
He slid the rail amain.
The 'surest" aim may miss the game,
The s'safest" ship go dowo,
And one mistake VIII bring to blame
The wisest man in town.
And thus it ran that daring man,
Who never thought to fail,
At last, in spite OF every plan,
Went gliding of the rail.
The servants then, unlucky men,
Began to laugh and grin,
Which, like lion in its den,
Aroused that mandarin.
'Ho, hor' said he, "you laugh at me?
Now, slaves, you each shall slide"
And when they all had met a fall,
He laughed until he cried

Wants to Know,

A writer in the Richmond Dispatch of the
Both, who signs himself "One Of Mr.. Harris
Constituents: is solicitous to know that
gentleman's position on the debt settlement
bill. He assumes that the time has come to
dispense with ''Tom -foolery and John fool
cry" on this issue, and that to be a s're-ad-
juster in the cool" is not precisely what the
people want. He thinks the time has come
for Judge Harris to clearly and explicitly
define his position, and throw his influence
either for or against the bill Of adjustment.
1t may be proper, and we think it is, for
Judge Harris to let the people know his
views, but whatever they may be, it will not
matter much in the next Congressional cleo
ton. If they could vote for him when he
held the wild and reckless and ruinous views
he did in the last canvass in relation to ma
tional currency and finance, they could sup
port him whether he was a re-adjuster in
the cool, or an out-and out repudiator, or
straight up and down debt payer. All he
has got to do, when the time comes for his
reelection, is to denounce the government,
defame the statesmen OF the country who
happen to be Republicans, repeat charges
of fraud and corruption withouta particle OF
proof to sustain them, and in general SLAM
der the Republican party, and that will
be platform enough. What condition would
the business of the country be in, had his fl
nancial notions been adopted by Congress
and approved by the President? What ideas
or principles of administration has he presen>
ted or advocated, that if reduced to practical
operation, would have benefited the people ?
Where has he ever contributed one iota to the
maintenance of national credit or the promo
ton of the general good? His reports as
chairman OF the Committee of Elections,
whereby he pros.ituted his high position to
partizan ends, benefited his party in very
questionable sense, and that will be suft-
cient in the estimation OF the average demo-
crat to overcome all his fallacies and short
comings in respect to great principles and
policies affecting the true and lasting welfare
of the nation.
It is sad commentary upon the intelli-
gence of the people, when they cannot rise
to the dignity and Importance OF principles
in elections, and be governed in their votes
BY the genuine interes is of the country,
apart from personal friendships or thei nflu-
ence and effect Of personal attentions. Judge
Harris, Notwithstanding his views OF nation
al finance would have brought ruin and dis
grace upon the country, and notwt hstand'
ing he will, most likely, neither support nor
oppose the McCulloch bill, nor manifest any
active interest in State affairs, he will be re.
turned to Congress as often as be may offer
to be a candidate, and snap his fingers in the
face OF all such writer's as ''One of his Con-
stituents." lie is ''dimocrat" OF the old
style wire pulling and scheming kind, knows
how to hood-wink and delude the people,
and therefore it is not important that he
should hold to any defined principle or poll
cy either of National Or State government,
to succeed.
