Not Ghosts as Cnss.

From HQrDe1'S .Tor OCTOBER.
The question to Lethe sayles. when she was
upon the witness stand, as to whether or not
she believed in ghosts, In one of Miss MUIR
iree's stories, reminds me Of dialogue
once heard between p lawyer and a witness
In Independence, Jefferson county, Mo. One
Of the james gang" as the band of robbers
we're called who for few years previous to
thst time lSSll had committed numerous
crimes in that norton of the State, was on
trial for participation in what was known as
the GLENDALE train robbery" Mira. -, a
witness for the State, testified that on the
night before the robbery occurred she saw
the prisoner. and heard bin talking to her
husband about the proposed robbery. Upon
her cross- examination the following dialogue
took place:
o. NOW. Mrs. -, tell us again how
you happened to see the prisoner upon the
evening in question"
A. He come to the house long in the fust
part OF the evenin', an asked me where was
my old man. I said outdoors someers. an
he went out to find him. Bime-bv | lowed
I'd better see If he'd found him; an when
got outdoors heerd voices in the corn patch,
an went along kinder still like. an looked
through the fence. | was a couple o. fence
corners from 'em. Twas light as day, most"
Q. "You Jaw them dist net ~"
A. 'Ysa4."
Q. "W,ll. Mrs. -, want to know if you
believe IN ghosts In spooksg'
A. ava !, don't know as it's any o. your
business ~ hat believe"
.'You must answer the question:" SAID the
Judge.
A "Waal. then, do. I've seen 'em ~
n. Your house is said TO be haunted, isn't
it,"
A. "Yaas."
O "And ghosts have been seen walking
about outside by yourself and your familyp"
A. "Yaas."
Q. II thought so. Now can you swear that
1t wasn't ghosts that you saw and heard out
in the corndeld that evening"
A. "Yaas. can"
Q. "Well. how 10 you know"
A. "'Cause they war cnesIu'. Pve seen

The legislative Ticket.

The opposition TO the ticket nominated
by the Knights of Labor at the mass
meeting Friday night is increasing. The
Knights of Labor ought not TO be sur
prised at this.
1t is probable that good many of them
ale convinced by this time that their or
ganiZation was captured by shrewd poll
ticiaus, who have no particular sympathy
with them, They may not want to admit
that their course was dictated by those
outside Of their organization who have
selfish ends in view, but 1t would not be
strange if good many Of them acknowl-
edge to themselves that such is the
case.
1t is believed by many that the ticket
was, In TACT, named by those who for
years had control of this city and county,
and whose control was resented by all
citizens, including many ofthose who are
now Knights of Labor, who mad anything
at stake. This control was shaken off by
means of the registration system, and,
doubtless, the aim now is to abolish that
system, with the view of atfording men
who compos ed the old and Objectionable
ring An opportunity to get control of
affairs again.
Are there are any Knights of Labor in
this community who want to see the city
and county in the control of that ring
again? There may be few, but they.
surely, are not among those who have
property interests here, and who are the
advocates of clean methods in the admin
istration OF public affairs.
Assuming that the ticket was dictated
by shrewd political manipulators outside
of the knights OF Labor organization,
must not the Knights feel Inundated that
they were led into doing things which
are repugnant TO their organic
law? Think of an organization that
will not admit liquor dealers and
LAWYERS to membership forming
an alliance with the former, and selecting
the majority of its Legislative ticket
from among the latter! What are princi-
pies good for if rot to be adhered tor Is
not the fact that the Knights cut loose
from their mOOrings, as 1t were, pretty
good evidence that their affairs were con-
trolled by others than themselves? And
if they permit their organization to be
used for selfish purposes by those who
have no connection with them, ought they
to be astOnished or resentful if the Demo-
cratic party of Chatham county declines
to allow them to take charge ofits affairs?

Some of his countrymen do not feel at
all grateful to Mr.. Andrew Carnegie for
his gift of $4,000 for the purpose of es-
tabhshing free library in Edinburgh.
Abiding TO some expressions made by the
donor in his triumphant Democracy"
the Saturday Review says: "ConsdeIing
the language which the citizen has used
respecting a Queen whom Scotland, and
Edinburgh in particular, is supposed to
regard with peculiar loyalty, it might
have been more dignifed to suggest that
Mr.. Carnegie's money might perish with
him. Butitis probably unjust to require OF
any man, and especially OF North Briton,
the divine capacity OF refusing 'siller,'
and such pretty sum OF siIler. After
all, the fathers OF the city may excuse
themselves by regarding the mum as Il sin
Offering and Mr.. Andrew Carnegie as a
penitent. Besides, 1t is extremely I'M
probable that her Majesty has troubled
herself much at h airing, il she has heard,
that one Andrew Carnegie considers her
existence an insult 10 the manhood OF her
subjects"
