Being Bows Again.

United States Senator Edmunds and
Justice Harlan are fellow-guests at the
Colorado Hotel, the former being ac-
companied by his wife and daughter.
A few days ago the two distinguished
gentlemen We're wandering aimlessly
along the beach under a bright, genial
sun, when their attention was arrested
by the sight of small boy intently
throwing shells at a small peg driven in
the sand and surmounted by a block OF
wood. The little fellow, unconscious OF
their presence, continued the practice
with skillful results, and the two spec
tators for the moment forgot their official
gravity and allowed their latent boyish
tendencies to control them. I'm bet
you good cigar said Mr.. Harlan to
Mr.. Edmunds, ''that | can hit that
mark before the boy cam The wager
was accepted, and the contest began.
The justice was as good as his boast,
for the block was knocked down at the
third throw. Then the senator tried to
do as well end the small boy, the great
lawyer and the distinguished statesman
were soon busy at play, hunting for am
munition, making rash bets, laughing
over defeat and applauding victory
The sight was novel but happy one,
and the few promenaders on the beach
smiled good-natmedly as they passed,
to think how one touch of youthfulnesS
could break dignity's back and make
old men young again. That evening
the justice smoked with pride some CT
gars from the senator's best box, the
stakes of their pleasant little competi-
ton.

GEORGE P. MATHEs. EDIT
Too AyariciOus.

The South Carolina Bourbons are
greatly exercised in mind over the regis
tration laws which remain as the last
stumbling block in the way of thor
oughly satisfactory manipulation Of the
state BY an outrageous gerry mander
incmling the division of counties to OBJ
tain their ends the bourbon leaders con-
slider their chances good for clecting six
out Of the seven congressman now sent
up from that state. The only obstacle
to a successful prosecution of their plans
appears to be the law which provides for
the registration of voters, hence the
strenuous efforts which are being made
to nu ify or entirely abrogate the law.
In view Of the fact that the next congress
is destined to be Republican by great
majority it might be well for these gen
tlemen TO content themselves with what
lcgitimately belongs to them. The
usual bull-dozing methods under the cir
cumstanccs will avail but little The
doctrine has been laid down that vote,
must be counted as cast and voters left
free to make their own selection unnam-
eduninterrupted bywhite leagues, Rifle
clubs, or any other species of terrorism
and a Republican congress will make
quick work of any congressman who
comes up to claim his seat with bull
dozed majority at his back.
