John Bright, M. P. P. C.

Among the great orators of the British
senate, no one stands out more promi.
nently than John Bright, whose twenty
five years of faithful representation for
Birmingham, has Just been celebrated
with great enthusiasm.
He was born in 1911, at Greenbank,
and after receiving an ordinary English
education, entered the business of his
father, in the firm of John Bright & Co.,
wool spinners. In 1889 he distinguished
himself by becoming vigorous member
of the anti corn-law league. He was rep
resentative for the city of Durham from
1643 to 1847, after which he was returned
to parliament for Manchester. The in
digLation which was felt against the
Peace att Price" party, led to his re-
lection by Manchester while he was trav-
cling in Italy for his health, but upon
the death of Mr.. Muntz, few months
later, the constituency of Birmingham
invited him to become candidate for
the vacant position. He was elected, and
has. ever since, represented Birming-
ham. In 1868 he was appointed president
of the board of trade in Gladstone's new
cabinet.
On the eve of the bombardment of Al
exsnder, MIR. Bright resigned his posi-
ton in the cabinet of Mr.. Gladstone, as
soon as he learned its determination to
give Sir Beauchamy Seymour orders to
attack the forts.
During our oivil war. Mr.. Bright

In the QueenI City gentleman named
Jones. He was the president of the
United States Branch bank, and was
locally known as Bank Jones. The pork
trade had already taken such proportions
as to rouse the financial enthusiasm of
Bank Jones, and in succession of let.
ters he dilated upon the prosperity of
pork prospects of the Queen City. The
letters were addressed to the Liverpool
correspondent of the Cincinnati bank.
and this gentleman's Imagination at
length became fred by Bank jones'
enthusiasm. In moment of wild gen.
erosity he hied him to the studio of some
Liverpudian Thorwaldsen, and ordered
the construction of what Is set down in
the annals as "a unique pair of model
hogs. These noble effigies were made
OF papier. r.mache, and were sent out to
Cincinnati as present, accompanied by
the inscription destined in part at.least
to become famous-'To Mr.. George w.
Jones, as the worthy representative of
Porkopolis." The hogs have still local

terminated In Stamford in the acquittal

slaughter. The question on which the
case turned was whether the locomotive
whistle was sounded at the crossing
where the killing occurred. Evidence
on this point was, as might have been
expected, conflicting. Prosecution had
witnesses who were solemnly sure that
no warning was given. To meet this the
defense did not depend wholly on the
statement OF the accused engineer, but

To the Editor of THE CHIEF:
i see my name appears in the last issue of
THE CHIEF as n candidate for school super
intendent. Suffice it to say that / never
sought the Office that it is the result of my
friends. / had been led to believe that the
present superintendent Mr.. Merchant (and !
was surprised to see his name appear in the
Republican column would not run, and the
probabilities were that no one would who
would do justice to the Office. The latter as
sertion had weight with me, for if our county
is young and our schools few and in a back
ward state, now is the time to nurse them.
We need a good energetic man who will look
to the interest of the schools and build them
up. Two years association with Dr. Parker,
of Rosita, superintendent, taught me that the
Office is of more than ordinary importance.
The argument of my friertls being that was
the man, notwithstanding have partially re-
tired from the school-room, which has been
my home and souls delight for five years,
and sought a rural home where might lay
aside this care for time. If I can best serve
them in that capacity feel 1t duty to do so,
and hope the four years spent in the normal
department of college was not spent in vain,
as | have since the confinement in school has
been too great.
And in conclusion wilLsay if nominated,
that l will not only solicit the suffrage of the
Democratic party, for it is no party strife
with me, but also that of the Republican
party, many of whom were instrumental in
bringing my name before the people.
Yours truly,
