The Judge Modified His Sentence.

One of the keenest things ever said
on the bench is attributed to Judge
Walton. While holding a term of
the Supreme Court at Augusta, ht
sentenced a man to seven years il
prison for grave crime. Therespond.
ent's counsel asked for an investi-
cation of the sentence on the GROUND
that the prisoners health was very
poor. Your Honor said he, II am
satisfied that my client can not live
out half that term, and I beg of yos
to change the sentence" Well, unde
those circumstances said the Judge,
81 will change the sentence. I will
make it for life, instead of seven
years" It is needless to add that the
respondent chose to abide by the
original sentence, which the Judge
permitted him to elect. -Lewistos

Painting War as 1t Is.
from the New York Home Journal.

From the New York Home Journal.
Vasili Verestchagin, the Russian
painter now in New York, is the first
great painter of battle scenes who
has dared to paint war as it is and
not as it is supposed to be. He does
not intend that his paintings should
suggest any wild dreams of glory,
that they should inspire admira-
ton for the soldier or envy
of.his career This is not his object,
but the reverse. He believes that
when war is stripped OF it's glory
it will cease to be popular and tn.
era of peace, though arbitration,
inaugurated. Hence what many
critics throughout Europe hayi
termed his horrible realism. The
spirit of his war pictures is best exs.
pressed in his own words: "Why
should war be idealized and rendered
beautiful when tits the most awful
blood -curdling institution on the
face of the earth? Ladies who havt
visited my pictures have asked mi
VIII ether such scenes as Ihad depicted
were not exaggerated and why ] had
not infused more of the romance and
chiv airy of war. Ireplied that when
| went on a field of battle saw little
rom ance and perhaps less chivalry.
What greeted my eyes were heaps of
dead and dying, faces distorted with
agony, torn and dismemb ered frames,
pools of blood-death, suffering and
contu sion everywhere. This impress,
sion it was that [ threw upon tn
canvas"

Stanley Heard From.

Couriers who have arrived at Zanzibar
from Tabora bring direct news from the
Stanley expedition, a portion of which, ac-
cording to the couriers, was met at the end
of November, 1887, by Arab traders ut q
point west of the Albert Nyanza and south
east of the Sanga. The detachment of the
expedition seen consisted of thirty men,
whose leader stated that Stanley was two
days ahead. Many of the expedition it was
stated, had disappeared or were dead, and
forty had been drowned in attempting to
cross q great river flowing from east to west
me white man had died. Stanley hau fought
18th tribes which had refused to furnish him
18th provisions. And majority of his es-
TT had been attacked with fever and com
he'd to halt. When the couriers lett the eN
lition Stanley was well. He had decided

ley, eriosing q number of men and large
portion of his supplies, was hemmed in by
hostile tribes between the Maboda country
and the Albert NyanZa, while other rumors
were to the effect that he had been attacked
by the tribes in the Matongora-M ino district

great presidential elections who tell from
what he reads who is the man he ought to
vote for? Bad men sometimes applauded,
good men denounced.
Another powerful foe of the sacred chest,
the ark of the American covenant, the ballot
box, is the rowdy and drunken caucus.
The ballot box does not give any choice to
a man when the nomna tions are made in the
back part of a groggery. When the elector
comes up he has to choose between two evils.
In some of the cities men have come to the
ballot box to vote, and have found both
names such scaly, greasy, stenchful crew
shat they had no choice. You say vote for
somebody outside. Then they throw away.
tkeirvote Christian men Of New York and
Brooklyn, honorable men, patriotic men, go
and take possession of the caucuses. First
ng saturated your pocket handkerchief
with cologne or some other disinfectant, go
down to the caucus and take possession of it
in the name of the Lord God Almighty and
the American people, though after you come
back you should have to hang your hat and
coat on line in back yard for ventila-
ton.
In some Of the states politics have got SO
low that the nominees no more need good
morals than they do a bath tub Snatch
the ballot box from such men. Where is the
David who will go forth and bring the ark of
the covenant back from Kirjath- jearim? Do
you not think politics have got to pretty
low ebb in our day when a Tweed could be
sent to the Legislature of New York. and a
John Morrissey, the prince of gamblers, could
be sent TO the American congress?
Now, how are these things to be remedied?
Some say by q property qualification. They
say that after man gets a certain amount
OF property-a certain amount of real estate
he is financially interested in good govern
ment, and he becomes cautious and conser-
vative. reply, a property qualification
would shut off from the ballot box a great
many ofthe best men in this land. Literary
men are almost always poor. A pen is q

A Highway Murder.

PARKERsBURG, w. VA, Sept. g.
Information last night from st.
Mary's, few miles north of here, is
that last night Charles Hale. rep
resenting the Iron Range Company
of st. Louis. was waylaid by band
of robbers and fatally stabbed. A
large cash was made in his breast,
and his head and body were terribly
beaten. 1t was known that Hale
had nearly one thousand dollars in
his possession. and the purpose of
the assault was evidently robbery.
Hale had put the money away before
starting from st. Mary's, so that the
robbers got no plumber. Hale is ex-
pected to die. There is no clue to the
robbers.
Mr.. Hale is remembered by many
of the citizens of this county. Dur
ing the two months that he was here
this spring he made many friends,
who will be sorry to read the above.
We have not been able to learn
whether his wounds proved fatal or
not,

aim of his party to secure to himseii
and felIow-citizens that happiness

Don't fail to vote for Harrison ana
Morton. Go to the polls and cast
your honest vote. Don't allow
foreign nation to dictate who shall
be our President. Don't allow them
through free trade to impose COM
mOdities on us when we have ample
room and means to maintain our
selves, both in necessaries and luxu-
ries. Let us form National charac'
ter and limit immigration. We have
opened our arms long enough in re-
ceiving the down-trodden of the
world. But it is time now we take
care of ourselves, in defense of our
liberties and of those in our trust.

that we enjoy more pleasure in the

don correspondent of the New York
Tribune, summarizes the English
view of our Presidential campaign
very clearly when he says II have
not met single Englishman who
does not wish for Mr.. Cleveland's
election, not one who does not take
it for granted, and not one who does
not believe that English trade ami
manufactures will benefit by his
triumph" twenty-five years ago
it would have been equally difficult
to meet an Englishman at home who
did not believe and hope and pray
that the war for the preservation of
our Union would be a failure. But
the rebellion was put down and Mr..
Cleveland will be defeated in spite Of
British opinion.-DenUer Republican.
