then, from time to time, made sale of
portions of the land to German settlers,
who improved them, until in many in

are now painfully aware of its exis-

follow the foreclosure. In some in

The dead body of George Allen, a
well-known resident of Pemberton,
was found in hunters cabin in the
pines below Pemberton, ON Thursday.
On the floor by his side lay a couple of
half-empty whiskey bottles. He had
evidently been dead several days, as
the flesh was almost ready to drop
from the bones and his face was terri
bly, swollen and distorted. The de-
ceased had evidently been on hunt
ing trip, as his gun and fishing tackle
were standing in one corner of the
cabin, and a few decayed fish were
found on string ON the floor. Coro-
ner Carr, of Mt. Holly, was summoned
and began an examination. There
were no marks of violence found on
his person, and from the attending
circumstances, together with the we'll
known habits of the deceased man, it
was clear that he had died of alcohol
ism.

You're sure to be caught, you're sure to be

You may think that no winds your opinions

To End that your views don't consist as they

You may talk. but don't write your convic-

You're sure to be caught, you're sure to be

Use words ofthe mouth, for the words of your

Are most treacherous means of expressing a

And baVe queer way of appearing again
To teach you lesson you should have been

A word that is written don't know when it's

You're sure to be caught, you're sure to be

At times most unseemly tits sure to be read
And TO glory in mischief its nature has
wrought;
But the word that is spoken. when echo has
May be safely denied or a new setting

Ohice-seekIng and OGice-hoiding'
II the young men OF this country fully
appreciated the evils Of ofhce-holding, we
would not witness so many OF the eVlls OF
ofice-seeking. Not only in Washington,
but in every city, town and neighbornood
In tho land are TO be found young men OF
fair attachments and character who are
wasting their energies and running their
tempers IN the wild chase OF the ign1s JGt-
u0uS Of official allurements. These may
be numbered by thousands and tens OF
thousands, and probably not one in ten IS
ever rewarded with the slightest success,
and not one in a thousand has his dreams
fully realized.
The energy and perslstency that 10 ex-
erted by office-seekers would be almost
certain to be rewarded with success in
any Of the ordinary VocatiOns OF life, and
in such vacations young men would be to
q great extent free from the temptations
and vexations that beset the ofice-seeker.
1t must be confessed that ofice-seeking is
not generally an elevating and refining
occupation, but more often than not it
ton, If not Of corruption.
Even when one obtains the coveted
Office, he is generally as poorly off as If
he had been defeated. There are few Of
fees that pay more than will afford the in
cumbent a respectable support. There
are very few indeed out of which money
can be honestly and honOrably accumu-
lated. Official station is not always a
place Of honor these days, and more rare
ly still is it found to be place of luxury
and ease. There are trials and vexatiOns
enough for the most faithful, and there is
usually trouble enough for the unfsithful.
Ofice-holdIng has tendency to unfit
one for other business. The mind gets
into rut from which it is dif1cult for it
to be withdrawn. Selt-reliance, independ-.
ence, snap, are sacrificed in many in-'
stances, and the ofice-bolder, at the end
Of his term, Ands himself more helpless
taan q youth tust out Of school, for be hss
not emily generally passed the stage of
youthful vigor, but be often has q family
that is accustomed to live in better style
than he is able to sustain. 81
The country requires the services OF
many officials, and it is not likely that
there will ever be any scarcity of candi-
dates, but the young man who starts in
life with determination to avoid office
seeking and oflice-h Gliding will be muck
more apt to succeed than he who starts
without such determination.

The Congressional Record.

The Congressional Record is supposed
to contain verbatim report Of the pro-
ceedings OF both houses OF Congress. 1t
many things said in the debates which do
not appear in that publication. The re-
por.ers do their work faithfully. in their
notes appears every word that Is spoken.
Everything doesn't get into the Record
because members are ashamed of some
things they say, and at their request they
are permitted to revise their speeches and
strike out whatever they regard as objec-
tionable.
IL is a question whether members ought
TO have this privilege. II there were no
exception TO the rule that all spoken
words in debate shall appear in the Record
members would be more careful in
respect to their utterances. Last week,
both in the House and the Senate, words
we're spoken in debate which did not app
pear in the Record. They would not have
been spoken perhaps If it had not been
known that they could be kept out Of the
published proceedings.
II a member is not disposed TO conduct
himself gentleman, and TO use only
such language as is proper and respecta-
BILE, his constituents are entitled to a
knowledge OF that fact. Neither house
ought 10 desire to or be willing to shield a
member who disgraces himself. That is
not the way to put stop TO dlsgraceful
scenes. The way is TO give the widest
publicity 10 all that occurs In Congress.
Let the country see who there are among
the members whose conduct is such as to
justify the withdrawal Of respect from
them. Let 1t be once understood that the
Record cannot be tempered with, and
members will put a curb upon their
tongues and their tempers. The scene
will not then be witnessed every day or
two In which Mr.. SO-and-So rises and
says that be regrets having made use OF
language which 'he,adnrits is dfsgraceful.
Let the Record gell ;theawhols truth, and
tbe people win al Tse is6Fs willingly pay
the eXPs0ss Of printing IT,
