with jas. \. Legate in relation TO the letter
published to-day, purporting 10 have been
written by him TO Il. c. kerens Of st. Louis.
After reading the letter carefully, Mr.. Leg

forgery. | never wrote anything of the
kind TO him or anyone. Ii is a williul and
malicious lie from beginning to end. |
never knew Mr.. kerens, and never met
him bat once. ! rode with him from Gin
cinnati 10 Columbus some ten days before
the October election, when he told me the
method OF the campaign in Cincinnati"
Mr., Legate also declared that he never
made such a proposition, written OF oral
that Governor st. John had never talked to
him on the subject had never offered TO
make any terms with the Republicans. and
that st. john had never authorized him to
make any proposition, and that any
charge that he had done 50 was . willful lie,
gotten up to injure St. John and ease down
the men who have been lying on him.

DEs MONIES January 12th.-The report
OF an interview with Legate at Topeka this
afternoon reached here tonight, and was
shown 10 Mr GARRISON. He said that his
denial now that he made any overtures
| will be met by the sufficient contradiction
of Karens, Plumb, Dudley and others, to
whom he discussed the overtures made ON

day also finds ample contradictions in his

| reporters OF the Chicago and New York
TribuRes and st. Louis Republican, that lie
| did make such oycrtUres. Clarkson added
The letter of introduction that he brought
me from Senator Plumb showed that he

"Increass OF debt during the month, $4,ss7,-
l9s." II there is any misrepresentation in
the matter. the secretary, himself, Is respon-
sible for it. The statement of the MORTIMER
SKR requires no 'stwisting" to enable it tc
wear the "semblance of truth" as 1t is in
exact accordance with the official report.
1t is true, that the NoRrHERNER has repeat
edly stated, and it reiterates the statement
that not single dollar of the principal Of
the public debt has been paid by the present
administration and we challenge the Courier
to prove to the contrary. Such statements
however, were accompanied with full ex-
PLANTATION, so that not even SO dense sheet
as the Courier, ought to have been misled
thereby. and we do not think it was, but
rather that, by reason of "wilful partisan
ship it deliberately "misrepresented the
truth. In proof of our assertion, we reprint
the following extract from the first editor
ial on this matter that appeared in the
columns of the NoRTHERNER:
True the public debt statements show reduction
each month, but the statements misleading, the
apparent reduction being the difference between
cash on hand and the outstanding unpaid debt.
There is more money in the treasury, but not bond
has been called in or paid since Grover Cleveland
has occupied the presidential chair 1t will be a
long time, at this rate, before the debt is extnguish-
ed. Not only the people oppressed by the con-
tinual payment of interest on bonds that should be
paid and cancelled but every day lessons their ab-
ty TO pay, for this money that is being continually
piled up in the treasury, comes but from one source
the channels of trade and commerce. In other
words every dollar that is needlessly locked up, in
stead of being applied in payment of the. public
debt Is a contraction of the currency to just that
extent
The Courier will have to exercise great
deal of ingenuity to show any attempt to de-
ceive. or any discrepancy in the different
statements made in the columns of this pa
per in reference to this matter.
AS TO the patriotism of the NoRTHERNER,
we are willing IA leave others to Judge, only
promising that, as a matter of fact the
NoRrHpRNER would rejoice to see the
present administration continue the good
work of extinguishing the pubic debt that
was inaugurated and SO long and so suCcess-
fully carried forward by the republican party,
but of this We have no hope or expectation.
If, however. by patriotism the Courier means
loyalty to Grover Cleveland's administration
as it has been conducted for the past nine
months, which is reasonable presumption,
then the NoRrHERNER is very, Gerry unpatri-
otto.

The ACTION of the President in calling the
attention of congress to the embarrassing
situation of the supreme court OF the United
States, with its vast accumulation of bust
ness hopelessly behind, is good one. Per
hsps it is true that our state supreme court,
as well as the National tribunal, is overwork-
ed. If not burdened with the hearing and
decision of cases, itmay be that outside duties
occupy too much of the time of its members.
For some reason, at any rate, it is very evil
dent that opinions are formulated and hand
cd down, bearing such palpable evidence of
haste and superficial consideration as to
render the work of painstaking and con-
scientious circuit judge very discouraging
indeed. The NoRTHERNER believes that the
next Legislature would perform good work,
If it should reform our judiciary system so
as, in some manner, to lessen the number of
cases that shall find their way to the court of
last resort, either by the establishment of
inferior courts, or by the enactment of
statute that shall guard against unnecessary
or trivial appeals.

The NoRrnERNER never said that the
present administration had not increased the
amount of money in the treasury. On the
contrary it has repeatedly stated that money
was there accumulated. drawn from the cir
culation of the country, greatly to the detri-
ment of the people. The fact remains that
not dollar of the bonded debt has been paid
since the republicans surrendered control of
the government, notwithstanding the great
ante-election promises made by the leaders
Of that party.

A QUEER BIRD.

\ person travelling on horseback through
some one of the little valleys of the inter
Tor of Southern California, will often, in
passing by bushes near the road, hear a
rustic and see an olive green bird, with a
white breast, come iuttering out, and 90
rushing on ahead as though challenging a
race. This is the pdisda0 or the road
runner" and. if the traveller accepts the
challenge and starts in pursuit of the run
ming bird, he will not win the race unless
his animal is swift. The road-runner will
not try to fly away as most birds would but
will skim along at a very rapid rate.
The bird belongs particularly to Califor-
MIA, and is not found east of the Sierra
Nevada mountains. 1t is about two feet
long, its tail being about half its length.
The tail feathers are green tipped with
white.
The road-runner has one great enemy,
the rattlesnake, and the bird has an ingeni-
Gus way of getting rid of its foe. It's plan
is to wait until it sees the snake lying
asleep, curled VI in the sun. Then the
road-runner softly collects cactus enough
to make a prickly hedge all around the
snake. After a time the rattlesnake wakes
up and tries to uncoil himself and stretch
after his nap, but he cannot do so. A
sharp cactus-spine pricks his head, another
runs into his side, another thorn gals him
on the other side, and which ever way he
moves he feels some singing pain. This
soon makes the rattlesnake very angry, and
as he cannot find anything else to strike, he
raises his head, opens his mouth and bites
at himself, burying his poison fangs in his
own flesh, and SO dies in a little while of
his own poison. In this way the road-run-
ner gets rid of its enemy without exposing
itself to any danger at all, providing the
snake does not wake up before the cactus
hedge is finished. Mr. Bamford in FEB.

WRITING MEAN LETTERS.

Mr.. Robert Burdette, the genial humor-
list of the Burlington Haackeye, has again
been taking the public into his confidence
by telling how he sits down upon his
enemies. We think if his plan was gener-
ally adopted there would be a great deal of
friction overcome between buyers and sell
ers. Flying into a temper over some busi-
ness error or mistake frequently leads to
the writing of a harsh letter that will
soon after place the author on the stool OF
repentance or in the valley of humiliation.
Burdette says:
s'Let me tell you how | write mean let
tiers and bitter editorials, my boy. Some
time, when a man has pitched into me and
cut me up rough, and | want to pulverize
him and wear his CORY scalp at my girdle,
and hang his hide on my fence, | write the
letter or editorial that is to do the business.
| write something that will drive sleep
from his eyes and peace from his soul for
six weeks. Oh. do hold him over a slow
fire and roast him Gall and aquafortis

FOR SELF-SUPPORTING GIRLS.

Girls. first make up your minds that you
will be something All the rest will fol-
low. What you shall be comes more
easily and clearly in due time.
A girl of 10 canno decide, with any dis
erection or any assurance, whether she will
be a sculptor or a wash-woman, a farmer
or a poet; but she can decide distinctly
whether it is her wish or her duty, after
leaving school or college, to remain de-
pendent upon her parents or to fit herself
for a self-providing life.
The education by which you mean to
get your bread and butter, your gloves and
bonnets, is a very different affair from that
which You take upon yourself as an orna-
ment and an interval i'll life.
The chemical experiment which you
may some day lave to explain to pupils of
your W is quite another thing from the
lesson that you may never think of again.
The practice in bookkeeping, which may
SOM time regulate your dealings with
live flesh-and-b blood customers, becomes as
interesting as a new story.
The dull old rules for infection and
enunciation fairly turn into poetry, if you
hope to find yourself a great public reader
some coming day.
And the very sawdust of. the French or
Latin grammar becomes ashes Of roses to
the stout little fancy that dreams of brave
work and big salary, in some foreign de
partment at Washington, or tutoring girls
or boys for college.
All over the terrible ocean, among the
lawless sailors, the men with wives and
children to work for are those who lead the
gentlest and ~cleanest lives.
SO, on the great ocean of school life, the
girls with aims to study for are those whose
labor is the richest and the ripest.
All ! you will never realize till you have
tried it what an immense power over the
life is the power of possessing distinct
aims. The voice, the dress, the look, the
very motions of a person define and alter
when he or she begins to live for a reason.

street the busy, blessed women who sup

whether they are party questions or
