LETTERS FROM THE PEoPL
Jedyood .gusiioe

EDITORS CONSTITUTION; What was the
origin and meaning of the gphr0se lockwood jus
tice?" s. s.
Jeddart Jethart the former, and is still the
local. name for Jedburgh, the capital of the shire of
RoXburg, Scotland Jedwood designs the whole
district lying on the little river Jed on which jed
burgh stands. In ancient times this burgh was
place Of considerable strength and Importance
From its situation on the BORDERS as well as from the
character of the clans by which it was surrounded,
it was especially exposed to violence and rapine,
and was repeatedly sacked by the English, and once,
at least, burned TO the ground The long suffering
of its natives at length came to an end and whom
an Englishman, or other marauder, was captured
the rule came to be- "a short shift and long rope"
But the canny burghers did not altogether dispense
with legal forms. After the culprit was executed,
an assize was held by the warden Of the marches,
evidence led, and sentence ponouaced in due form
of law. Hence the well known rhyme:
"You've heard men talk Of Jeddart law,
Whereby they first do hang and draw,
Then SIT in Judgment after"
variant OF this is
81 Oft have heard Of Jeddart law
And shook my sides with laughter
Where in the morn they hang and draw,
And sit in judgment after"

4 POLITICAL CENTER.
How Campaign Thunder is Eeing Turned
Out i'll Washington.


WASHINGTON, August % Few people are
aware that the government printing Office is
the greatest center Of political activity and
information in the country. 1T fact, never
theless. For months past dozen great presses
and scores of employees have been engaged
night and day in printing and sending to the
folding rooms OF congress untold tons Of polt-
ical literature, which is circulated under the
frank OF congressman through every state and
territory Of the union.
The public printer is not violating the law,
either Under an old law of
congress made i'll the palmy days
Of republican rule, any congressman can
order Of the public printer any matter that has
appeared IN the Congressional Record, paying
the actual cost Of printing the same. The re-
publicans started the bali rolling this year
printing and circulating five hundred thousand
copies Of John Sherman's tariff speech. The
tariff debate in the house gave the democrats
a chance, and they have beaten the repubi-
cans two to one in their expenditures for tariff
speeches. Altogether about ton million copies
Of the presidents message and tariff speeches
have beer printed at the government printery
and sei' 13t to the voters Of the country.
Ccsi democratic congressman have been
lavish ,heir expenditures in this direction.
VIM Scott, of Pennsylvania gave his
br0ti.C members the privilege Of ordering as
many copies Of his tariff speech as they wanted
at his expense. The generous offer cost Mr..
Scott more than his wears salary, or about
$1,000 for nearly n million speeches. Certain
congressmen have been enthusiastic in ercu-
lating and printing the presidents tariff mes
sage, and have distributed 100000 Of them.
Thespeocbes of Mills Carlisle, Scott, Wilson
Of West Virginia. voorhees,, Colquitt, McMil-
lin, Nelson, Fitch and others have been given
all immense circulation by democrats. Sher-
mans and AicKinley's speeches have been the
fayorites with republicans
The democrats have also slrewdly circulated
thousands Of IIale's speeches on civil service
and Ingalls, speech denouncing Hancock and
Mcclellan, with Joe Blackburn's reply there
TO. Nearly every congressman has made
tariff speech and sent from one thousand to
fifty thousand among his constituents. Alto
gether, congressman have spent about $780,
COO this year getting their speeches, etc,
printed at the government printing office.
In addition, large numbers Of speeches have
been printed for congressman at the private

IspfASApoLIs, Ind. September Special
Both the democratic and republican leaders
talk confidently Of success, though the rcpub-
licans realize that chances arc slightly against
them. They think home pride will Offset
these chances, and it might If Harrison was
popular But not so now
Chairman Jewett Of the democratic conn
mittee, said tonight. Owe have every reason
to feel confident Of democratic success. feel
free in saying that the party never was
better organized, and all iactonal differences
have disappeared. Tho republicans have
not yet recovered from the blow given them
by Porter's refusal TO run, and good deal Of
bitterness was engcndered by II. Our fellows
ure all pulling together. Our house TO house
poll so far as completed, shows that our figures
are correct. There seems to be q disposition
on the part of many republicans to conoede
Colonel Matson's election, although they
think tho state will give its electoral vote TO
Harrison. We think not, and we think we're
right" ~

SMALLER, BUT EQUALLY ENTHUsI AsTIC.


The Republican campaign club attached to tho
XlIIth Assembly District may we'll be congratulated
on its daring In venturIng to invite comparison with
the stupendous gathering at the Metropolitan Opera
House last night, by calling q meeting professedly for
The ratification Of the candidatures Of Benjamin
Harrison and Levi r. Norton Be this as 1t may
the call to arms provoked a unanimous and enthu-
sIastic response and tho small hall attached to tho
Grand Opera House, in Twenty thlrdst, was packed
with an excited audience which followed with an
almost breathess eagcrness, the powerful and
thoroughly logical addresses delivered by ex-Judge
Angel and exAssemblyman House, greeting with
uproarious cheers every mention Of the party cand
detcs and of James g. Blaine. That the resolution
approving the choice Of the Chicago Convention was
carried by reclamation goes without saying and at the
close Of the speeches nearly tho whole assemblago
signed a paper declaring their determination to uso
every cxer;on to secure tho triumph Of the Repub-
lcan platform at the present election.
Among those on the platform. In addition TO the
speakers Alderman Cowie, ex-Aldcrman Wade,
Lincoln Mcleod, George wynants, W. ii. Reed, Joseph
