| conquer the hearts OF the men who were too
| courageous to surrender. But when the children
of the beseiged people began to cry for food they
could stand it no longer. so the inhabitants got
| together to consider what to do It occurred to
them that 1t would be the best thing to send the
little ones cut to the commander of the Hussites
Brian the Bold, FOR he had the reputation of be-
| ing very fond of children, and they thought he
| would surely treat them we'll. Nor were they
| mistaken, for when they went scampering out
| to his camp he was amazed at the unusual sight,
| and wondered what it could mean. Having been
told Of his gentleness OF heart they straightway
went to him. and he was conquered by his love
for the little ones, and after giving them q grand
feast he sent them back to the city, and he and
| his mighty warriors withdrew and left the be-
| sieged to enjoy again the pleasures Of peace.

that some of them actually did work, and at the

the fears of the Democrats and the hopes of the
Republicans are pointers, it is within the prob
abilities for the Republicans to carry the next
Legislature-heavly handicapped as they appear
to be- The Democrats have spread their small
majority over too large an area In too many
places tits altogether thin Aside from this is
idle to imagine that the party is as fierce as it
was two years ago. There have been too many
political disappointments to expect close and
aggressive campaign. The chances, of course,
are largely with the Democrats, but still the

licans will control the next Legislature

Colonel sumptuary coming.

Shelbyviiie Republican.
Old Colonel Sumptuary is advancing by easy
stages upon the State of Indiana. and will reach
here in time for the Democratic State convention
in July. The Colonel recently had set-to with
his inveterate enemies in the State of Rhode Is
for wear. man named Prohibitory Statute
struck Colonel Sumptuary on his noble probosCis
on which he has been engaged for fifty years in
getting a genuine Democratic color So the
Colonels "conk' now looks somewhat battered,
and is hardly in a presentable shape for com
pany, but he hopes by careful nursing to get it
all right in time for his biennial convention at
Indianapolis. The truth is the Colonel has had
rather hard time Of it since his last gathering
in this State. He got down among the people of
Georgia to lecture on his favorite topic of
Sugar in the Gourd," but mobbed at
eral places and badly bruised up. His weather
beaten swallow tail coat was split up the back,
and the Colonel's old-fashioned ''choker' cravat
was twisted all awry by the irreverent Georgians
In fact the Colonel barely escaped with his life
from these ill-manneriy "goober grabbers,' and
was forced to retreat so rapidly that he had to
leave behind his jug of atime-honored Demo
cratic principles" When he reaches Indiana he
will look as dilapidated as old Rip Van Wrinkle
when he came down from the Catskill mount
aims after his twenty years nap.

Back in Ohio the sexton of a

Back in Ohio the sexton of a
church, in going to open it for the
Sunday services, found the seats
arranged in circle in the center
of which were blotches of blood
and piles of feathers. 1t was soon
discovered that during the pre-
vious night the edifce had been
utilized for a cock pit, fighting un-
der the Detroit rules. As the man
ayers of the fight did not invite
the Vestry to the main, it is looked.
upon by the clerical authorities as
a serious breech Of etiquette. The
only way left for retaliation is for
the church people to hold a. prayer
meeting in the cock pit.

A GREAT CHANGE.

In the good old Jacksonian times
SO often and so feellngly alluded to
by our Bourbon contemporaries,
they had a different brand of
President than they have now.
When the banks formed a COM
bination to crush the people, old
Jackson put his broad Admins
tration foot on the scheme and
crushed it out, remarking as he did
so, ''Give the people a chance"
President Cleveland takes the
opposite course, and is now bolster
ing up the banks and trying to
give them all the chance he can.
When regular Democrats think
Of jackson they try to forget Cleve-
land.

MORNING APPEAL.
A NEEDED REFORM.

In the San Francisco Examiner
is the semi-annual report of the
Public Administrator of San Fran
cisco, made in accordance with the
law. The figures show remark
able state Of affairs.
1t gives several columns of fig
ures, and these columns although
not especially intended for that
purpose-show the various stages
through which money passes from
estates before it reaches the heirs.
The value Of the estates which
have come into the hands of the
Public Administrator since Jan.
LIST, 1883 to January of the present
year amounts to the sum of $685.
1851.
Out O. this amount only the in
significant sum of $19,192.73 has
reached the heirs.
OF these estates over half a mil
lion of cash has passed into the
Administrators hands and been
gobbled up in various ways. Of
course, the lawyers take the lions
share; the Administrator makes
good haul, and if there is anything
left, which is seldom, the heirs
get it.
The money left by dead
man becomes like the prize
money in the navy; they sift
it through a ladder; what goes
through goes to the officers, and
what sticks to the rounds goes 10
the crew.
When lawyer gets hold of the
legal work Of s., 900 estate, 81, 900
is considered about fair fee for
the work, and nobody raises the
slightest objection; but when a
newspaper publisher comes In with
bill of $39 for advertising the
estate, how! is raised Immediately,
and he is charged with an attempt
to rob the dead, and the lawyers
ask him sarcastically If he wants
the earth" Such a rumpus is
raised about his ears that he gen.
orally cuts down the bill to SIS 80
under the impression that he is
favoring the heirs; the lawyers COB
BILE the difference, and so it goes.
One frequently hears the query,
why don't they change the lawY
Simply because the lawyers won't
allow it to be changed. Whenever
any bills are introduced in the Leg
islator touching the law, they are
referred to any Committee that
lawyers happen to be on, and it
they are so fixed as to encourage
Understandable legislation and fat
fees, they are recommended, but if
they do not they are thrown aside
and substitute bills returned, so
utterly bewlldering in language
and SO thoroughly meaningless and
complicated that nobody has time
to study them, and under the i'm
petus of favorable recommended
ton by the Judiciary Committee,
they pass. After that, whenever
an attempt is made to transact any
business under these laws, it takes
all the lawyers in town to explain
them, and the explanation is not
forthcoming until the fees are put
up.
The laws governing the Admin
istration Of estates need remodel
ing, so that heirs of estates can
get an equal chance with the law
yers in the Lewiston Of the spoils.
We are not, in this article.
complaining Of the Administrator,
but of the laws which consume the
body of an estate by a slow fire,
and leave nothing but the charred
remains for the heirs and creditors.

the record shows that in three

the estates have reached the next
