THE JUDGE WAS THIRSTY.
He Wanted Enough Whisky to be
Worth Els While.
From the Nerc York Tribltn

From. the Neto York Tribune.
prominent official of the Treasury Depart
ment, who has the reputation of being con-
noisseur Of fine wines, had as guest, the other
day, at his table, a prominent South Carolina
judge. The judges glass was filed several
times by his host WITH some exceedingly fine
sauterne, of which the host was particularly
proud. The judge drank the contents OF his
glass down at a single g1llp every time; still he
did not seem to enjoy his wine very much. The
host turning to him. finally said:
How do you like that wine Judge? 1t was
some that was sent me from France not long
ago"
The judge filled his glass once more and did
not set 1t down until he had drained 1t of its
1T tastes first rate" he answered at last,
but somehow or another, it doesn't quite seem
to reach.
The host laughed, and handing down bottle
of whisky said, Suppose you try that"
And from the expression on the judges face
it was quite apparent that it had reached.
OF this same judge heard afterward another
story, which is worth repeating. IL appears
that while holding court one day, in his native
State, he grew very weary of the endless
tongues Of the attorneys and calling to baillH
said, huskily: go over to the Hole in the
Wall and bring me drink of whisky
The bailiff disappeared and reappeared short
ly afterward with an inch and half of corn
juice in the glass, enough for any Christian
man, but not a suficiency for South Carolina

The bailiff disappeared and reappeared the
second time with tumbler trimming full.

coat, did he say g.

why Haggerty, of course"
"Oh he didn't say anything, your honor -
answered the bailitf, hesitating a little and
blushing scarlet.

The Sunday Gazette, of Wash ington,
printed last Sunday this brief but sensation
al editorial announcement: Tomorrow it
will be positively known in this city whether
Cleveland will write letter of declination.
or allow his name to go before the ST. Louis
convention for denomination" As the
Gazette is not given to practical jokes, the
announcement was received by many in
good faith, and it was thought that infor-
nation of a positive character had been OBJ
tanned of Mr.. Cleveland's intention to pub
licly announce his position. Monday passed
however, without bringing to light anything
sensational In fact, the day was very
quiet one, politically speaking, and Wash
ingtonians are now asking themselves what
the Gazette meant by its announcement.
Their experience will satisfy them, prob
ably, of one thing; Mr.. Cleveland is laav-
ing the matter Of a denomination to the
people, while he attends to his duties.

The tariff debate win be greatly enlivened
on the last two days allowed for it-Frlday
and Saturday of this wee&-and members
will be found in their seats, while the gal.
leries will be filed with listeners. 1t would
have been good idea to have limited the
entire debate to four days, as follows:
First day, Mills and Kelley; second day,
Breckenridge and Mckinley; third day,
Scott and Randall; fourth day, Carlisle and
Reed. In this way the people won,d have
got as much information on the subject as
they will get from nearly three weeks d
bate, aud besides, time would have be
saved, and the bill would have come to
earlier vote.

The delegate Co the Tennessee Guoernato-
rial Convention. who went to church last
Sunday, and in the midst of the sermon,
being awakened by hearing the name of one
well-known in politics mentioned, suddenly
arose and cried out: Thirty five votes for
Robert l.. Taylor. has found out that, like
oil and water, politics and religion don't
mix. He had got his head chuck full of
politics. ard when he went to church there
was no room for religion. The consequence
was that he made himself the laughing
stock of the town He was probably about
the only member Of the convention who at
tended church, and it seems that he had no
business there.

1t is not easy to understand what object
the Republican Senate has in postponing
action on the nomination of Mr.. Fuller
The facts are these: Mr. Fuller, while not
conspicuously known throughout the coun-
try, is well qualified to fill the Chief Justice
ship, therefore there can be no objection to
him on that score. Some triiling flaws have
been found, or alleged TO have been found,
in his record; but they can have no inn
portant bearing on the question of his con
firmation. On what ground, then, do the
Republicans propose to delay mattersl Do
they hope TO stave off action until after the
Presidential election, or until they can hatch
out other charges against the appointee, or
are they simply opposed to "undignifed

A special from Indianapolis says that
Gov. Gray is becoming uneasy about his
Vice Presidential boom, as Minister Denby's
friends are putting in some strong and tell
ing work for their favorite, and already
claim to have secured pledges of support
from the Louisiana and Arkansas delega-
tions, while in Indiana they are making
rapid Roadway. These rumors are to be
taken with grain of allowance; and yet it
is not beyond the range of possibility that
Minister DENLY is the coming man for
second place.

The Republicans are still talking about
offering a substitute tariff bill in the House,
and three members Of that party, Messrs.
Mckinley of Ohio, Brown of Indiana, and
Burrow of Michigan, have been reported
as preparing substitutes, but somehow or
other they never offer them. The fact is
that the Republicans in the House are not
a unit on the tariff and it is very difficult
to frame a bill which will be generally
satisfactory to them; so they content them
selveles with acting as obstructionists to
tariff reform by the Democrats. 1t is H.
timated that quite a number of them
would not object to tariff reform if their
party could get the credit of bringing it
about.

The family of Matthias Zimmerman. of
Woodhaven, L. l., drinks no liquid but
beer; and yet no prohibitionlst should COM
plain thereat, for Mr.. Zimmerman sums up
the situation by showing that the water
used bv other families in his neighborhood
has almost invariably caused sickness, while
his own family has remained in perfect
health. Very likely Mr.. Zimmerman and
his family don't tap the keg too often.

Unpatriotic Veterans.

From the Nel0 York Star (Denl)
The Grand Army Of the Republic suffers great
injury from the Incorporate zeal of offensive
partisans like the Col. Jones who objected on
political grounds to the review of the organiza-
ton by President Cleveland on Decoration day.
The fact that a President is likely to be re-
elected has nothing to do with the respect to
which his position entities him from good citi-
zeus as well as good soldiers. and Col Jones has
simply succeeded in showing that he and his
kind do not possess the true spirit of patriotic
American soldiers which veterans should never

The Peoples Eyes Opened.

From the Washington Post (Denl)
The Democratic party has only to be true to
itself to make triumph certain. The protec-
tlon extremists have exhausted the patience
they have resisted the demand for reduction of
war-tarif taxation. They have made pledges
only TO break them. The time has come at last
when their dupes can be deceived no longer.

Some of the newspapers and few preach
ers are still criticising the late Mr.. Matthew
Arnold for his adverse article on American
people and customs, and occasionally very
unknd thing is said about the great English
scholar. These newspapers and people
should not forget that controversy cannot
be carried beyond the grave.

The Misdeeds of Sailors.

United States Commissioner Edmunds,
of Philadelphia. has recently rendered a
decision which is of interest to all who are
connected with the coastwise trade The
case was this: -Four seamen shipped on the
schooner Governor Hall, bound from Phila-
delphia for Savannah. After they had
signed the articles and gone
aboard the schooner, they concluded they
did not like her, and refused to go to work.
They were arrested and taken before the
Commissioner who held that, under a re-
cent decision ef the Federal Supreme Court,
they could not be punished. If there is no
law under which crews of coastwise
vessels can be punished for violating
their agreements, masters and owners
are at the mercy of the sailors. According
TO the Dingley bill the word "coastwise," so
far as the shipping of seamen is concerned,
Includes besides ports in this country, all
ports as far south as the southern boundary
of Central America, hence enlarging the
scope for disobedience and disorder The
only law for the punishment of sailors
for acts like that in the Hall case
is the Shipping Commissioners act of 1872
In 1874 congress amended that act, SO that
now, according to the Philadelphia Record,
under the operations of the Dingley law, "a
seaman can engage for a vessel, receive his
advance, sell the allotment paper and then
refuse to ship. The innocent holder of the
paper must then look to the broker, or
owner Of the vessel, for his money" 1t is
said that the commissioner of navigation at
hac 20
commissioners not to pay any allotment
notes, but TO make the representative of the
master and vessel the proper party for
their payment. This is done to relieve the
government of any responsibility.

The New York Legislature, which ad-
journed the other day, was in session a
shorter time than any other Legislature of
that State for many years, but it passed an
unusually large number of bills, over 400 of
which were before the Governor at the
time of adjournment. The law gives the
Governor thirty days in which to consider
these bills, and as many of them are rather
crude the time allowed is hardly adequate
for the purpose of a careful examination.
There is some talk of an extra session to
provide for an appropriation for continu-
ing work in the State prisons, where 5000
people are confined. The question is this:
Shall these prisoners be kept at work, or
shall they be locked in their cells, where
they must endure hardships not intended by
law to be imposeds
