answer by the people. Ifsuch course
is endorsed by the voters we shall be
satisfied
We are not unmindful of the fact
that "members of the legislature are
not the only persons who take all the
law allows them" We distinctly re-
member that u few years ago Congress
passed an act giving to its members
$500 of back pay. The law gave
them this compensation, and "under
the law" they were entitled to il. We
also remember that when prominent
member of Congress of the state sought
to be made chairman of Democratic
State convention, he was denounced in
scathing terms publicly on the floor of
the convention, and defeated for the
position, because he took what the law
allowed him. Public sentiment then
was against the taking of back pay,
just as il is now against paying the
Legislature for time spent at home.
The act providing for the pay Of COM
mon pleas Judges is not parallel case
with the present one. 1t is a law made
by one body providing for the pay Of
another branch of government. 1t was
not made by the Judges to provide for
their own pay, and If it is in such shape
as to permit abuses the Legislature
should have corrected it. 1t will be
remembered too, that the additional
pay of Judges for special courts is for
time spent in holding courts and dis.
posing of business, and not for Sun.
days and days between adjournments
1t may be that some judges have taken
advantage of the special court act, and
called on other judges to try cases
where 1t was not absolutely necessary,
but we have never before heard such
charge made Certainly the writer of
the Sentinel article would not have at
tempted by insinuation to make local
application, if he had any knowledge
Of the history and practice of the court
in this county, for it is fact that only
two or three times in more than twenty
years has another Judge been called
upon TO sit on the bench here.
The Sentincrs s criticism ofour article
is simply subterfuge, and the object
Of its remarks will be easily understood.
Our views on this question are based
on the past record of the Democratic
party, and on its profession as the par
ty of economy and honest government.

Cheating David Davis,
The Great Man Sits Upon Facetious Corn
Doctor.

Some twenty years ago David Davis was
suffering with severe bunion on his left
foot. At least the Senator supposed it was
bunion, although, as he hadn't seen his
feet for generation, it was pretty much
matter of guess-work. However, it hurt
him more than the Republican successes, so
he called in ehiropodist, and when that
specialist inspected the damage and came to
the surface once more, he reported that the
excrescence was about as big as a ten-cent
piece, and that nothing but the most careful
treatment would save the foot. Mr.. Davis
accordingly procured shoe of the six-day-
go-as-you-please description, the toe of
which he could almost see himself when he
kicked out pretty hard. 1t was sad sight
to watch the presiding officer OF our most
dignifed body hobbling up to the Capitol
steps, supported by big cane and the leath-
er pedestal referred to, for six months after
that. IT was new edition Of Bunion's Pill
grim's Progress, bound In calf. Sometimes
the bunion would grow better and some
times worse. Meanwhile the corn doctor
sent in his regular bill ''for digging
out the Senator's foundations" as he IA
cetiously called it. At last the sufferer
became imbued with an all absorbing de-
sire 10 usually inspect the cause of his tor
ments, and one day yielding to a sudden i'm
pulse he limped into photograph saloon,
pried Off his shoes, and requested the oper-
ator to take tintype of his foot When It
was completed he almost fell off his seat in
an apoplectic fit of rage, for the picture dis
closed a small iron clamp attached to his lit
tie toe, the screw of which the chiropodist
evidently tightened or loosened at pleasure.
The senator determined upon frightful
revenge, and tie next morning when the
corn doctor knelt to remove the shoe the
man of weight deliberately turned around
and sat ON him. But why dwell upon the
sad particulars? The corn doctor was re-
moved to the hospital, where, three months
after, he died to slow music, after having
made full confession and in the full hope
of glorious, immortality
