A Thief Caught by a Bear.
From the San Pedro CNpper.

FROM the san HedfO Ct1ppef.
The following, which is said to have happened
not far from Los Angeles, is too good to be lost.
An Italian, who travelling through the
country with bear which he had trained to
wrestle and dance, stopped before farmer S
house late one afternoon, and after amusing the
family with his performances, obtained permits
sion TO stay all night. The bear placed in
the barn for safe keeping. During the night the
family were aroused by a terrible noise in the
barn. Some one was screaming Murder.
Helpw and apparently engaged in struggle
for his life
The farmer fastened to the spot, followed by
the Italian and Others of the house, and found
the tame bear with a man in his embrace, hug
ging him tightly, while the poor fellow strug
gled franticay to escape. The bear was muz-
zled and could do no serious injury, though the
man was very uncomfOrtably situated
The man proved to be dishonest butcher.
who had come to the barn TO steal fine calf
In the darkness he had stumbled over the bear
who had seized him and held him fast. The
Italian, learning how matters stood, called out:
Hug him, jack and the bear continued to
hug him unmercifully until the farmer con
cIuded that he had been sufficiently punished,
when he was released. The story soon spread
abroad and the butcher left the neighborhood
to escape the ridicule to which it subjected him.

a Veto Governor.

Gov. Buckner, of Kentucky, continues to
send vetoes to the Legislature Hardly a
day passes that he does not send in one. and
the other day he took the Legislature off its
feet with six in a bunch. The messages
that accompany them must show that they
possess merit, for the bills are not passed
over the vetoes. Perhaps this is partly
owing to the fact that the people, ire
spectlve of party, approve the Governors
course. Legislators are very apt to pay at
tention when the people speak.
When Gov. BucKner sends in a batch of
six vetoes his action does not mean simply
means that he carefully studies every bill
that comes before him, and that he will not
permit the State to be burdened with un-
wise or useless legislation 1t means that
he regards his duty to the people to be some
thing more than to make appointments, sign
bills and draw his salary.
The effect of his course must be to make
members more careful about the bills they
pass. When they understand that bad bills
will be vetoed they will not waste time on
bills of that sort. Useless legislation, that
consumes time and money, will be checked.
and the statutes will not be burdened with
pernicious laws
The defalcation of ex-Treasurer Tate rem
ders it necessary to practice economy in
Kentucky. The loss of 100000 will not
cripple the State, but that much money
has been taken out of the pockets of the
taxpayers One way of practicing economy
is for the Legislature to get down to earnest
work, enact only such laws as are needed
and then adjourn.
There is too much legislation in this
country, and too few veto Governors 1t
would be a good thing if there were more
Governors like Gov. Buckner

A Nuisance

From The Son1eruule Journal.
OF all the pestilential boreS
That makes this life a state
Of constant torment, most dread
The man who's always late.
He never keeps his word, but lets
His friends anticipate
His coming for weary while,
The man who's always late.
He says he'll come ct half-past six.
You wait till long past eight,
And haven't seen a sign of him,
The man who's always late.
With stale excuses, glibly made,
He tries to palliate
His hardness, but you don't love
The man who's always late.
He never cares for others plans.
'Oh, hang them. let them waltz
He says aloud, or to himself,
The man who's always late,
But some day punishment will fall
On him, as sure as Fate,
And he II be sorry that he is
The man who's always late.

To old st. Peters gate,
St Peter'll say; You can't come in,

Senators. He was observed to hold half

Too Many Statistics.

From, the Philadelphia Record (Denl.)
When the eleventh census shall be taken there
ought 10 be some reasonable limitations inn
posed upon tie census takers and tabulators of
statistics. The census of 1880 has not yet been
completed, although nearly eight years have
passed since work was begun upon it. The sta
tistical iends must be curbed, or the 1890 census
Will be more belated than the last.

The Boston Herald, in noticing the asser-
tion Of the MORNING NEWS that Senator
ingalls, is not a handsome man, says it
would be difficult to convince the Senator
of that fact. Mr.. Ingalls,, it says, believes
in his good looks as much as he does in his
oratory, and he puts both Oh exhibition He
never speaks except to the galleries, and
when he is preparing to address them he gets
himself up with the most careful attention
to his toile5. 1t appears from this that Mr.
ingalls, is vain. In that case, there is no
use in trying to convince him that he is not
handsome, but If he would pay more atten-
ton to his facts and less to his toilet, he
would not have to write so many explaua-
tions that don't explain.

The London Times says that the Batten-
berg scion of royalty who wants to marry
Princess Victoria of Germany ''is one of
the most brave, most gentle, most valorous,
and most handsome of living princes" This
praise may be deserved, but the Prince is
not brave and handsome enough to capture
the heart of Bismarck, and until Bismarck
consents there will be no wedding.

The ''old, old story" has been repeated in
Detroit, but with a slight variation. 1t
may be well to explain that the "oid, old
story" is a term applied to the escapade of
a verdant countryman and bunco man,
In this instance, however, while the bunco
man is in his usual form, the person who
was imposed on is a C tizen Of Detroit, an
Old gentleman Of wealth. whose long resi-
dence in Detroit should have acquainted
him with the wicked ways of city life.
When these old stagers are entrapped, the
verdant countryman must feel that he had
better remain at home.

The Deadlock.

The deadlock in the House has continued
a week, and neither side shows signs
Of yielding. If it continues much longer it
may have the effect of preventing a vote
on the Mills tariff bill before the meeting
of the St Louis convention. The conven-
ton meets in June, and there is no doubt
that it would be for the interest of the
Democratic party if the Mills bill could be
passed before that time.
The deadlock Logan last Tuesday morn
ing. On last Monday Mr.. Randall chair
man of the Committee on Rules, made
report setting apart the following Tuesday
and Wednesday for the consideration of
Senate bill $40, which provides for refund
ing to the States which paid it the direct
tax which was levied in 1861. The Northern
and Western States paid about all of their
share of this tax, the Southern States a part
of it, and the Territories none of it. The
amount yet due is 81, $40, 314, divided as
follows: Alabama, $500, 793; Arkansas,
slO7, 1874; Colorado, $7l5; Florida, $72, 756 :;
Georgia, S46G, 1884; Mississippi S3Ol, 325:
North Carolina, SOS, 742; South Carolina,
Sl4S, ia; Tennessee, S277, 493; Texas,
STA, 265; Virginia, $3.50, 662; Utah, S26, 9S2;
Washington, 50, 4S7.
The tax was a war tax, and since the
close of the war no attempt has been made
to collect it. The States which paid think
it ought to be refunded; first, because there
was no constitutional authority for levying
it, and, second, because all the States did
not pay it. If the bill to refund it becomes
law, about Sl7, 100000 will be taken out
of the Treasury.
One of the reasons given by its opponents
for opposing the bill is that it is a scheme
of the protectionists to reduce the surplus
in the Treasury, and thus furnish another
argument against reducing the tariff. The
majority in favor of the bill is quite large,
and unless those who are opposing it are
quite certain that they can defeat it, they
are making a great mistake in wasting val
liable time in filibusterlng against it.

Russia hates Alexander as Texas dem

him his most bitter enemy. Bismark
who has always declared that Germany
must enter into no relation that will

marriage at this juncture, and the morn

announce that he will resign in the event
of the proposed alliance being accepted
by Germany.
