There is a hcbetudinous ass called
Cooley, who, with a brain so small
that 1t would rattle in a dried fea's
skin, essays t. "edit" a paper called
the Buffalo Herald. In the last issue
of his three quire edition he drools
out q mass of slush about us and
paragraphs which appeared in the
GRAPHIC. In common with other
callow youth who essay journalism,
Mr.. Cooley is apt to make mistakes.
In fact his brief existence has been a
succession of errors from the initial
one of walking on his hind legs down
to his latest effort which attempts the
editing of a paper even 50 small a
calibre al the Herald. The article
we have referred to shows that the
same fatal idiosyncrasy mars his writ
ing, for he mistakes abuse for irony;
the patter of the slums for eplgram.
matte condensation; billingsgate for
wit. Time may possibly aid Mr..
Cooley in overcoming this tendency,
but it will, far more likely, have the
same effect upon HIM that it has upon
eggs. What he needs most at pres.
ent is a rush of brains to the head
or to be placed under the care Of q
physician skilled in treating chronic
cases of idiocy. As to the para.
graphs which appear in the GRAPHIC
we would suggest to this dudish
"editor" that while they are a mere
matter of taste, subject to change al
our option, length Of ears is an inef-
facable mark placed by the Almighty
upon Mr.. Cooley and others Of his
species to distinguish them as mon
grels of the brute creation.

Certificate Of Character Wanted.
[Red Bluff Cali Cause.l

A young man of Red Bluff, who has be-
come enamored Of young widow, was In.
formed yesterday by his charmer that If
he would get sixty signatures to certifi-
cate of character she would marry him.
The certificate, addressed to "whom it
may concern" ,"is scientifically drawn up by
one of the young mans friends, alleging
that the y. m. loves the lady, and that with
the proper number of signatures, she will
marry him. The writing which he pre-
sents for signature is hybrid production
between petition and a certificate Of
character. 1t bears the signatures of
msny Of the great men of the country, ac.
companied by such remarks as seemed to
the petitioners appropriate. He carries
the petition about with great gravity, and
is treated with great civility by those
whom he approaches.

PIKE COUNTY POVERTY.
An Old Story OF the COmical Kind Applied
to a Current Transaction.
philadelphia Timos1,


There is story that has been told in
Pike County since time immemorial to
illustrate the poverty of the land in that
region. As the legend goes, traveller on
the old Milford turnpike one day, after
travelling a long way without seeing a
human face, stopped before hut, in front
of which man was making an excavation
in hopes of finding enough earth to make
q little garden, The traveller remark
ed upon the apparent poverty of
the people in that part of the
world. "Now see here, stranger" said
the man who was digging rocks, "pm not
SO dern poor as you think l am. don't
own but half acre of this here land" The
point Of this story will be appreciated
when 1t is known that there are at present
advertised for sale for arrears of taxes
more than one hundred thousand acres of
land in Pike County, this area comprising
more than one fourth Of all the land in the
county. The land, which is sold every
two years by the Treasurer of the county,
generally brings only the amount Of the
taxes and the costs attending the sale, un.
less there happen to be lots especially de-
sirable for quarrying or hoop-pole cutting,
the buyers thus apparently vindicating the
wisdom of the remark attributed to the
mythical man who only owned half
acre.

A Nice Family Row.

There is sad lack of harmony just now be-
tween the house judiciary committee and the
public lands committee of that body. the
cause being a warm struggle as to which of
them shall be referred the Pacific railroads
land grant question. In previous congresses
the judiciary committee has quietly sat upon
its rival'and carried OF the coveted prize, but
this time the chairman of the public lands
committee Mr.. Cobb, of Indiana, has refused
to accept the fate of his predecessors, and has
greatly incensed Hon. Randolph Tucker,w who
is very indignant that "corn-fed mudsill''
should object TO being summarily turned
down. There have been warm discussions re-
garding this matter in both committees, and
yesterday the judiciary committee issued a
sort of ultimatum, which it is expected will
efiectually squelch the obstreperous Indianian.
Meanwhile it is stated that Mr., Cobb and his
associates will have another consultation to-
day, and perhaps further exasperate Mr.
Tucker and his fellows of the judiciary.

Minnesota Possibilities,

1t was stated last night that an effort is
being made to secure the appointment Of
Senator Mcmillan, of Minnesota, to be the
successor of Judge McCrary, with the Interior
purpose of electing ex-senator Window to the
vacancy thus created. Senator McMillan's
term expires in 1887, and If the programme
can DO carried out it would give Mr..
Window three years in the senate,
and enable him to make strong
fight to secure reelection two years
hence. There is only one break in the line,
and that is the possibility that this arrange
ment will not meet the approval of Senator
Sabin, and also that e3-Representative Dun
nell might refuse to abandon the very hostile
attitude he has held for some time with ref
erence to Mr.. WINDOWS political preferment
Senator Mcmillan was at one time chief
justice Of Minnesota and Is eminently quail
fled to succeed Judge McCrary.

Mississippi.
The message Of the President transmitting
to congress the report of the Mississippi river
commission says:
l take this OCCASION to invite the early at
tention of congress to the continuation of the
work on the Mississippi river, which has
been carried on under the plans of the com
mission. My sense of the Importance of the
improvement of this river, not only to the
people of the northwest, but especially to the
inhabitants of the Lower Mississippi River
valley, has already been expressed in special
communication to the last congress.
The harvests of grain and cotton produced
in the region bordering on the Mississippi
are SO vast rs to be of national Importance,
and the project now being executed for their
cheap transportation should BIO sufficiently
provided for. The commission report that
the results due to the still uncompleted works
have been remarkable, and give the highest
encouragement for expecting the ultimate
success of the improvement
The act of Aug. ., 1889. appropriated 81,
$4,000 for the work on that part of tho river
below Cairo. The estimates of the commits.
sion, already transmitted to congress, call fol-
$3,000,O00 for the continuation of the work
below Cairo, and it appears from their report
that all of the last appropriation available
for active operations has boon exhausted, AM
that there is urgent need of an immediate
appropriation of $1,000, 900 to continue the
work without loss of time, in view of the
approach of the flood season, with its attend.
ant dangers.
therefore recommend to congress the
carly passage OF separate bill on this sub
