Cured the Wrong Man.

The Ar1ondut tells the following: An army
surgeon was one night annoyed by the coughing
of the sentry outside his tent. Unable to Sleep
he decided that something must be done for the
man, and so compounded him strong and very
d.sagreeable dose OF medicine. Then. going out,
he ordered the man to take it. The sentry re
fused, at first politely, and alterNarl angrily
and emphatically; but the surgeon sternly in
sisted upon his rights and the man was finally
induced to swallow the compound. The result
was evidently satisfactory. The sound of cough
sleep in the consciousness Of having done q good
deed The next morning he was summoned by
the officer in command, who said to him How
is this, sir: | hear serious complaints about
you, in relation to the sentres One of them has
reported that, in the middle Of the night, you
came out of your tent and abused him in the
most dreadful manner. He says you made him
swallow drink which must have been poison
The guard had been relieved while the surgeon
was compromising his mixture, and he had
cured the wrong man.

Thoebe's Big Bill.

Mr.. Thoebe, who tried to get Mr.. Car
isles seat, has the cheek to ask the House
for 81, 700 for his election expenses If the
whole amount were allowed it is probable
that he would not get cent of it. All of it
would go to his attorneys But ought Con-
gress to pay any part of his billa If it
should it would do nothing less than squan-
der the peoples money.
A contestant who has good grounds for
making n contest should have his expenses
paid; but had Mr.. Thoebe good grounds for
a contests Who is there, outside Of his at
torneys, who will say that he had' All the
Democratic and two of the Republican
members of the Committee on Elections
said that he had not, and the other
Republican members said they were
unable to form an opinion whether
he had or not. There We're reasons for
thinking that these three Republican mem
bers were seeking to gain the good will of
the workingmen for their party The po-
stion which they took, therefore, cannot
be construed as indicating belief that Mr..
Thoebe had good grounds for making Il con-
test
The truth probably is that Mr.. Thoebe
would never have thought of making a con-
test if he had not been urged to do so by
Republican demagogues who hoped to make
political capital for their party
by contesting the seat of so emf
nent a Democrat as Mr.. Carlisle
on the ground of fraud, and he would not
have pressed the contest as far as he did
probably had he not fallen into the hands of
lawyers who thought they could make
fee out of his case by getting an
allowance for expenses. Mr.. Thoebes big
bill and the position which the Republicans
took show the true inwardness of the con-
test. The House will make serious mis-
take if it allows Mr. Thoebe a cent To pay
any part of his bill would not only be an
admission that his contest was not wholly
without reason, but would make prece-
dent that would encourage others to make
frivolous contests. The House should make
lawyers, who work up such cases as Mr..
Thoebe's, understand that it will not be
trifled with.

Cleveland,s Political Insight.

Ballard Smith in Feb North american ReUielC
Assuming the paramount Importance of con
tinuing the control OF the Democratic party in
the general affairs of the government. the Pres
dent would have erred in sprngng the issue on
the country on the eve Of a Presidential cam
pagn il the people were not ready to settle il
definitely or did not wish for its immediate con
Sideration Was he mistaken in 'leviIg them
ready and DESTROYS to settle it now? When Con
gresS convened on the first Tuesday of Deem
Der be was reasonably sure of q denomination
upon existing issues. and of a reelection.
He seized the opportunity of his first message
to the new Congress to present the issue of tariff
reform as tlc one issue of the time. He made
the question the sole subject of his message
Had his party been unwilling or afraid to sec
ond him. and to adopt the issue he had offered
them, his act could readily have been accepted
as his own political suicide. The leaders of his
party in State governments and in Congress had
been, to all appearances, radically divided on
this issue. There was, indeed, an cutlery at the
first.
Yet to-day there is but one conspicuous man
within the democratic ranks who Is recognized
as irrecamaby hostile TO the Presidents poll
cy, and the leaders elsewhere have declared
themselves, with an almost extraordinary una
nmity, as his enthusiastic supporters. There
can be no valid explanation for this unanimty
except that their constituents have warmly in
dorsed the outspoken declaration of the Presi-
dent that tariff reform is the one great issue of
the day.

Justices Bad Spelling.
Ercm M Netn York Iimes.


KINGSTON, n. Y, Jan. 3G.-Some of the COM
mitment papers OF prisoners sent to the Ulster
county jGil, in this city, are queer specimens of
English as She Ia Writ" Recently Judge Knott,
OF Albany in speaking of the photography of
some Solons OF the lower courts, said: talk
about spelling, here is a return where Justice
spells God with little and Judgment with a
big G-iod and Judgment" This recalls an in
cident Of the late Judge Westbrook here. Often
he was appealed to 10 interfere with the convic-
tons of Justices Courts Where the offense
was of trivial character and defect was found
in the commitment he would sometimes dis
charge the prisoner One day he sent consta-
BILE to the Office of District Attorney-A T.
Clearwater was then District Attorney
stating that he wanted 10 see MIR. Clearwater at
the She ff Office. The District Attorney found
the Judge examining commitment issued by Il
Justice Of the Peace in the CatsRill mountains
who had convicted man Of petty larceny for
stealing q wolf robe The prisoner was COM
mitted to the "kOnte gal" for ninety days
Judge Westbrook thought as there was no such
place as "kontie gal" the prisoner should be
discharged. The District Attorney argued that
II the ''g' were pronounced soft II would have
the same sound as In jail and the words would
sound the sau'e as county jail. IL was pointed
out that Il was a well settled principle OF Grim
inal law that words having the same sound were
OF the same legal effect as the atutory words,
whether misspeed or not. The Judge how
ever, Thought differently, aud the bad spelling
OF the Justice saved the Notwithstanding
mouhtainser irom three months 10 prison.

The Answer of the Farmers Club.
Tho farmers of the South know that pro-
lection injuries their interests The pro-
lection organs may tell them that it doesn't,
but they know better. Last month the New
ork Tribune sent circulars to farmers
throughout the Southern States which CON
tanned arguments in favor of protection
and an advertisement of the Tribune al
manac. One of the circulars was received
by the Farmers Club of Hancock county,
Georgia. The members of the club, through
their secretary, sent TO the Tribune an
answer to it, and an excellent answer it
was. They said that their club, at the State
Far in October last, had taken the first pro
MUM, 81, 900, for the best display of farm
products, and that one Of the Inscriptions
on their display was this Tariff Reform,
the Farmers Hope"
The farmers Of this club have evidently
studied the tariff question to some purpose.
They understand that the prices of their
products are fixed in Liverpool, fand that
they can get no more for their cotton and
breadstuffs than Liverpool offers, however
many manufactures there NAV be in this
country. They also understand that while
they have to sell at Liverpool prices, they
cannot buy their supplies at Liverpool
prices, because the high protective tariff
prevents them. They are forced to sell in
the cheapest market and buy in the dearest.
Is it to be wondered at, therefore, that they
are kept poor, or that they favor tariff
reform!
The Farmers Club, in their answer to the
T'ibune's circular, further said: "As to the
farmer, if he could only buy his implements
duty free, and his clothing, family supplies
and comforts at greatly reduced duty rates,
he could furnish all provisions consumed by
the American people and export vastly
more than he now does. Agriculture would
then attain a degree of prosperity that it
never can under the present high tariff"
Doubtless the Tribune received a good
many answers similar to this, but it will not
publish them. 1t is not to its interest to do
so. 1t is safe to say, however, that it will
send no more protection circulars to the
Farmers Club of Hancock county The club
should have sent duplicate Of its answer
to the Tribune to the esteemed protection
organ at Atlanta.

tive TO the condition and needs of that city.
The message is now complete, and is one of
the most remarkable on record. The third
installment treats principally of rapid tran
sit in New York city, and has created gen
uine sensation. The Mayor evolves a plan
for all underground railway from the City
Hall to the Grand Central depot, ON which
trains will run at a speed of fifty miles an
hour. He proposes that the city shall build
and own the road, while the New York
Central shall operate it. The metropolitan
papers generally indorse the plan as being
original, comprehensive and practical.

Years Cannot Change Fer and Sor-
rows but Ennoble Her.
From the Neic Yort Herald.

Woman is lovely so long as she expresses her
womanhood The years have no part in this.
OF a truth, the years bring more than they take
away Lovely is woman as she first looks upon
the world with deep trnstGul, virgin eyes, to her
a wonderland, music in the winds, a radiant in
tense, glowing world of hopes and dreams.
But is woman not even more lovely as she looks
into eyes that bring her messages from the
eteruitics, that take her into the infinite and
holy past when her womanhocd has new
revelation from the eyes of her first born? And
as the years come with experiences that en-
noble, sorrows that become sacraments, what
moro lovely than woman with children at her
side and children coming to them?

Oddities of Married Life.
From the Boston Post.

FTON Tue DOSIUH I OSt
l know an odd couple here in Boston whose
married life is conducted on new and original
principles. They are literary people, having an
income quite sufficient for their wants, and
spending all their time in rational pursuits and
in amusements which are either intellectual or
health-giving. There is nothing strange in this,
but their popularity is that, although they have
been married some ten years. they see little
more of each other than they would if they were
ordinary acquaintance. They always break
fast separately, very seldom meet at lunch, but
usually dino together Orce in a while the huS-
band invites the wife to ride or drive with him
of an afternoon; and she, in turn, sometimes
takes him with her in her coupe. Each
has a separate library or sitting room; and
fancy that Monsieur would hardly present him
self unannounced in Madame's drawing-room.
There is not the slightest lack Of affection be
tween them but their idea is that no two
human beings can thoroughly enjoy each others
society if they are together constantly. They
wish to preserve the charm of novelty. Have
you read such and such book p once heard
this unusual husband inquire of his eXtraordi-
nary wife. No was the reply; Il am curious
TO see it." "Well, said he, suppose | drop
into your library tonight and bring it with me

proposal was gracously accepted, and doubtless
