The Pistol Fool.

The pistol has harvest of victims
every week. The circumstances are
accidental or criminal, sometimes both
and often criminally accidental. The
sad case of Beal who was shot by
Frickett on Sound steamer, the two
men being partners in business at
Boston, is u common illustration near
home. Frickett heard noise, woke
and blazed away, killing his partner.
We are not surprised to hear that he is
completely unneryed;' that is as
natural Us that 50 gloom" should be
'thrown over the entire community"
when leading citizens shoot each other
down South, and no arrests follow, One
! singular reason given for Frickett's
sleeping with pistol under his pillow
is that he has done so since his marriage
because 'his wife was of nervous
temperament" A wife of such nerv-
Gus temperament that she requires q
loaded revolver in bed to calm her silly
fears would be genuine home comfort
for the Gar.
Generally the pistol fool wakes up
and shoots his wife. Such instances
are frequently reported in our news
columns. Sometimes, however, he does
not live to get married, but only to be
refused. In that case he resorts newt
ably to his revolver. He resents the
exercise of woman's unquestioned right
to refuse proposals of marriage as a
crime to be avenged only in blood; he
invests in cheap revolver and peppers
her, and then perhaps shoots himself
the Workmanship in both cases being
generally bad. A man who will take
this way of ending a love affair is a first
class idiot.
The murder of whole family at
Brooklyn was all due to pistol idiocy.
The brother of the murdered man be-
lieves that the mother had pistol and
in excitement shot her boy, that the
father tried to take the pistol from her
and shot her, and then, realizing that
the boy was dead TO whom he was
devoted, shot himself. = Springfield

WOnldn't Tell.

Socrates used to put his questions in
such way that they could be answered
only by Eyes or ''no." BY skillful
questioning, he proceeded step by step
from one yes to another, until his
| opponent found himself In corner
from which there was no escape. This
method is called ''the Socratic method
of debate"
1t works well when he who asks the
questions has clearly in view the point
which he wishes to establish. But when
the questioner is in the dark as to the
subject he is inquiring about, and is
seeking for light, then the Socratic
method is useless. If, however, he can
guess at the answer, yes or ''no"
may show whether the guess is right or
wrong. 1t was after this fashion that
the teacher of New England district
school correctly Jumped at con-
clusion."
This teacher, whom we will call Miss
l., taught fifty-seven boys and girls,
from six to sixteen years of age, divided
into half-a-dozen different classes. One
day, while she was hearing class in
arithmetic, some one in the back part
of the room whistled As this was not
the first time such noises had been heard,
Miss L resolved to end them by
making an example of the offender.
Being uncertain as to who was the guilty
one, she began series of inquiries.
"Charlie Smith, did you whistle
them" she sternly demanded of the boy
who generally had finger in all the
mischief.
''No, ma am. "
"Sure? You didn't whistle parti-
cle?'
mo, ma am he persisted. 81 didn't
do it Bit"
"Well, do you know who dido"
mo, ma'am, don't"
Then Miss l. called up another
scholar and put the same question, with
a similar result.
Thus questioning each one in turn she
went through the school. All denied
having made the noise; some did not
not know who did and others refused to
tell Miss L said:
"SOme one here has told q lie in an
swer to my first question. Who that
some one is you all probably know. My
second question you have either refused
to answer, or have told a falsehood. l
consider you all equally guilty and shall
punish you all alke-five sharp strokes
of the rattan. Number one come for
ward!"
One by one the scholars received five
singing blows on the hand. Only one
disobeyed-a little girl whose unruly
temper was well known. She stoutly
refused to hold out her hand.
9 Then you must 90 home immedi-
ately," said Miss l., land don't ev-
er expect to return. Here! get your
books and take them with you!'
Sobered by this summary treatment
the scholars bent over their books and
indulged in no more disorder that day.
Miss L dropped the subject until,
after school was closed, she met one of
her pupils alone.
"Why didn't you tell me, Johnny"
she inquired, "who whistled in school?"
81 wouldn't be so mean Us to 6lab on
anybody"
"Butyou ought to; then you wouldn't
have been punished, and only the guilty
one would have suffered. Will you tell
me nowp"
No, ma'am don'twant to tell tales
out of school,"
"But the one who whistled didn't get
punished, did she?n
mo, ma am
81 thought So" and Miss L nod
ded her head triumphantly.-Y YOUTHS

GENERAL GRANT and his friends made
a celebrated race for the nomination in
1880 and was thoroughly defeated in con-
ventiOn and much more so by the pOpu-
lar feeling. Gen. Hancock ran for the
nomination and captured it at Cincin-
natl. The Republican party dominates
men who do not work for it, like FIRE.
mont, Lincoln, Hayes, Garfield, and
Grant for the first and second term. The
Democratic party dominates the man
working for the position, with the larg-
est barrel to work the campaign. The
course of the Republican party in letting
the party seek the man is the only safe
thing to do, bringing great advantages
to the candidate over one who has man
euvered and engineered his own nomi-
nation. The man nominated by the Re-
publicans in 1884 will not be one who
acants it, but one whom the people want,
a practical, clean, able man who will
be popular by virtue of his intrinsic
worth, and great force of character.

THE day of duels is past because the
practice was condemned by words and
example as disreputable, and the same
opposition should be made against the
detestable and cOwardly practice of car
rying murderOus weapons. The child
has his toy pistol to blow out eyes and
otherwise disfgure faces, and limbs.
The dude, trapp, disorderly, and even
respectable people carry revolver, and
accidents and murders occur daily. The
habit belongs to coward, not to brave
man; the habit belongs to barbarism,
not to civilization; it is abOminable in
its appearance and results. There
should be a law regulating the sale of
murderous weapons, requiring as much
caution in the matter as in the sale of poi
sons, while every good citizen should
show himself brave enough to take care
of himself without being loaded down
with steeled weapons filled with bullets.

Taxation of the Cotton Mill.
To the Editor of the Journal:

To the Editor of the Journal:
The total cost of the cotton manufacturing
property of the Edwards Co. is composed of
the original consideration of the auction sale,
the city taxes of tie year 1882, the price paid
for the brick yard, the quarry, boarding
houses, stock in process, sundFy lots of real
estate. tools. etc, etc, and with the cost Of
some machinery which has been added since
the purchase, amounts to the sum of
S250,00 1t is tie general opinion that a
sale at auction. ii properly advertised and
fairly conducted, represents as its result the
actual cash value of the thing sold
The cotton mill was twice advertised for sale
at public auction. 1t was in the market
more than year. 1t was visited and ex-
amined during the year by nearly if not every
one of the cotton manufacturers in this State
and by many out OF the State. The sale was
public and fairly conducted. The price at
which it sold must represent the most favor
able opinion of its cash value. The addi-
tional property purchased subsequent to the
sale had also been in the market more than a
year and persistent and energetic effort had
been made by both public and private
sale to dispose Of it. The final sale
to the Edwards Co. of that piece
of property should represent the actual cash
fixed by a disinterested committee selected
by transfer and and must be taken as
correct. The price paid for the new machih-
erv must be taken as the market and cash
value. The total cost therefore of $3.50. 600
must be as near the actual cash value as it is
possible for humap judgment to determine
exercised that judgment was at different
times and under such variety of circum
stances as to make it almost impossible to err
much.
But there is another test of the correctness
of this view. Since the purchase of this
property, a company has been formed of
its owners and the property is now represent
ed by shares and those shares representing
the whole property are bought and sold in
the public m irket. Some of them have been
sold after long advertisement and the sellers
have been not spectators or inexperienced
persons. but in every case have been manu-
facturers of cotton, who are thoroughly
versed in the value of such property.
These sales have been made at cost that
is, have been made at the rate of $3.50
for the whole property. In other words this
Edwards property which the assessors have
valued at $40, COG cost $3.50, 900 and is now
selling in the market at $3.50. 900.
Will the people of Augusta insist upon a
valuation so manitestly unequal? Is it not
the better policy for US to give every en-
couragehent that Gberality anj public spirit
can suggest. CITIZEN.
