large and attentive audience assembled
at the courthouse to-day to listen TO a
discussion of the political Issues by
Gov Ireland, Senator Gibbs and
Judge Smith, the silver-tongued orator
of Mitchell county.
Gov. Ireland made clear statement
respecting the states connection with
the lease law and threw much light
upon that subject. The governor
made a favorable impression here. and
while our people are not in love with
the present lease law, they are almost
solid for Ireland, and will show
in November that they appreciate
the interest the governor Is mani-
Testing In the affairs OF the West.
Senator Gibbs gave history of the
lease law and declared that there was
nothing In the Houston platform To
prevent change or repeal OF that law
II the people wish IL. He declared
that the Eastern part of the state Is in
accord with the actual settlers Of the
West and that their general interests
cannot clash.
Judge Smith made an eloquent APP
peal in behalf Of honest government
and Democratic rule.

The Early Fly.

If the origin of all things Is a mys.
terry, the genesis OF the early fly is q
still greater one. Nor is this statement
antasOnized by Al ancient and we'll
worn notion that the whole is greater
than any of its parts-Or. if it is. then
SO much the worse for the old axiom.
1t is easy enough to see how the origin
of existence in general should be a
mystery. Existence in general is some
thing large and vague, and it is not
specially Notifying to confess ones
ignorance in regard to the origin OF
some tremendous generality. But the
fiy-the early fly in particulars not
general. nor vague, nor large. He is
particular-in his attentions, if not in
his diet-and very definite. and small.
1t is therefore the more wonderful that
he should spring into existence out of
apparent nothingness. But that is
what he does. Nobody knows whence
he comes, but on the first really warm
day he is here and ready for business.
He never has any period of helpless in
fancy, either. He begins full-grown
and self-reliant. He clings. to be sure.
but it is not for support. We never yet
heard of a fly who was not fully able
to support himself. And yet he soon
becomes insupportable.
But to return to his origin. 1t is the
general bel eff of children that he grows
on window panes. and we do not know
that any better theory has been devised.
That is where he makes his trst ap-
appearance. at any rate. A manuiact-
urer of window-glaSs who should patent
a process for making panes that would
not produce or nourish flies would make
a fortune out of it. We do not believe,
however, that such a process is posi-
bic. 1t seems to be an inherent and
essential property Of windOw-panes to
produce flies. 1t certainly is an inhe-
rent and essential property of flies TO
produce or aggravatc pains. And yet.
strictly speaking. flies have no property
of their own. They live altogether on
other peoples property. Perhaps tina,
is the reason that such persons as MI.
Ferdinand Ward are sometimes called
too n.y." At all events, flies are very
expensive animals. The coming of the
early fly territies the housekeeper into
providing wire-screens for his doors and
windows, at q cost Of one hundred dol
lars or more. 1t necess:tates h en-
shrouding of chandeliers and picture
frames. When the swarm arrives in
force it is very hard on Shoes. The only
consolation possible is the reflection
that next November the fly VIII have
gone almost 81 suddenly and mystic
riously as he came.-N. ]. MdI and
