a Pig in the Fence.

Didst never observe when a pig in the fence
Sends forth his most pitiful Shout
How all of his neighbors betake themselves
thence
To punish him ere he gets out?
What hubbub they raise, so that others afar,
May know his condition, and hence
Come running to join them in adding a scar
To the pig that is fast in the fence?
Well, swine are not all Of the creatures that be,
Who find themselves sticking between
The rails of the fence, and who strive to get
free
While the world is still showing them in;
Who find that the favor they meet with de-
ponds
Not on worth, but on dollars and cents;
And that It's but few who will prove themselves
friends
To the pig that is fast in the fence.

The tariff is responsible for a good many
evils, and now it is stated that it is respon-
sible for the loss to Senator Vance Of his
eye. During last falls debate Senator
Vance enthusiastically advocated tariff re-
form, and he was tireless in searching for
statistics. Pretty soon his left eye began to
pain him, and he consulted an oculist, who
advised him to cease work for awhile: but
the senator did not take the advice. He
kept up his search for statistics, aud now
he is. in his own words, "a bully boy with
a glass eye" The glass eye was inserted the

The legislature not having declared the
result of the election for governor of West
Virginia, it is probable that there will be
three claimants for the governorship to-
day. Gov. Wilson thinks he should hold
over until some one is declared elected Mr..
Golf processes to think he was elected, and
he will probably qualify to-day, and Presi-
dent Of the Senate Carr, by reason of his
position, and owing to the failure to declare
the vote, thinks he ought to be governor by
succession, and be also may qualify. West
Virginia certainly is in fair way to be
much governed, though probably not we'll
governed.

The effort to secure jury to try boodler
Thomas B. Kerr of New York is kept up
and it seems probable that it will be sue
cessful. After the elapse of about two
weeks since the case was called nine jurors
have been obtained. As in the case Of the
preceding boodler the trouble is that nearly
everybody has formed an opinion concern
ing the guilt or innocence Of the prisoner,
and in nearly every instance the opinion
is that the prisoner is guilty One Of
the men summoned the other day said, in
answer to the usual question, that he thought
Kerr should have skipped" TO Canada.
The judge remarked thereupon that he
guessed he would excuse him from jury
duty.

Probably he also reflected that prohibition

this department, whose duties are multi
plying more rapid than those of any other
in the state government, should be cramped
with such pound foolish economy cannot
be OWNED. And possibly what is most
unaccountable of all, is the opposition of
Senator Glasscock to any relief for this
department. He actually voted to table
the proposition giving it even one extra
clerk. Representing district in which
all these departments are located, he is
supposed to know in this matter the
needs OF each and all of them. And that
he should thus run counter to the earnest
and emphaticslly expressed wish of the
superintendent of public instruction is
truly matter of surprise. He is not, 1t
seems, averse to other departments having
full complement of clerks, as he only
few moments after the above cited extra
ordinary motion earnestly opposed the
striking off of clerk from the roll of the
land office. His opposition to the educa-
tional department is surely uuwarranted
by the facts in the case.

GENERAL OPPOSITION TO A STATE
HEALTH BOARD.

The STATESMAN first sounded the note of
warning against the proposed substitu-
tion of board of six men for the present
able and efficient health officer. Since
that note of warning petitions and memo
rails from the people have been finding
their way to the legislature; and other
newspapers have dropped into line and
are opposing the bill to that effect now
pending in the legislature, the Post, of
Houston, being among this number. In
its Saturdays issue is found long edito-
rial, ably setting forth the patent and
forcible objections to such a bill
The editorial covers ground al
ready gone over by us and then
produces fresh matter in the shape of
statements by Galveston Commercial
representatives. to the effect that, under
the new system, Galveston harbor would
not be as strictly guarded as now, and YES
sells could much more easily slip in. The
Galveston senator "by request" introduced
one of the two bills on this subject now
before the senate. 1t is only natural the
merchants and shippers of that city
should desire this greater freedom from
restraint, but we honestly do not believe,
in their haste for gold, they have con-
sidered this matter as we'll as they should
in reference to its influence on the health
and life of the state. If it was by their
request this measure was proposed, we ask
them to pause and consider this, the
the other, side of the question. Let not
one iota of the states guarantee of i'm
munity from pestilenoe be lost. The
welfare of our people is far above any
mercantile monetary consideration. The
Post closes it's editorial with these strong
words: "The Post warns the representa-
tives of the people against this scheme.
if it promised better than the present
system, no matter its monetary features,
the Post would favor it. 1t does not. 1t
merely furnishes the governor with a
board for state health purposes, instead of
one able, vigiIant, quick lieutenant, who
can do all and do it better than any body
of men,"

How to Overcome the Dangers of

FOR the past forty two years have been
engaged in the livery and hacking bust
ness. am greatly aided by my four
boys. We are much exposed to the
weather, and we have found ALLoocK's
PLAsTERs of very great service. We use
them as chest protectors, placing one on
the chest and one on the pit of the
stomach. They not only ward off the cold,
but act as a tonic.
We are frequently affected with rheu-
matism, kinks in the back and pains in
the side; but one or two of ALLoooK's
PLAsTERs quickly cure us. My wife and

life. The admiration and respect of the

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST THE D
PARTMENT OF EDUCATION.

To gloss matters, the senate yesterday
treated in its appropriation bill the de-
partment of education most Cavalierly.
The work of the department was by some
of the senators ridIcued and minifi ed,
and only after much debate was grudging
consent given to half of the superintend-
ent of public instructions request for two
additional clerks. The house bill provides
for these two additional clerks with
salaries of 1900 and $1,000 respectively.
Not only this, but in the matter of allow
ing the superintendent of public
instruction $500 year travelling
expenses in performing his duty
under the law, it took the vote Of the
president of the senate to decide the tie
vote of eleven to eleven, and put the
amount in the bill. All this would seem
inexplicable, when the great Importance
and the tremendous amount of work of
that department are considered. Why
