The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1889-01-30

THE extent of settlement had become
so great in Virginia in 1922 that it was
inconvenient to bring all legal causes
TO the capital at jamestown, and in
ferior courts were appointed in con-
venient places to relieve the Governor
md Council (who constituted the SUI
perior jude iary) of heavy burden of
business, and to render justice more
accessible and less expensive. With
these began the establishment of county
courts in America.

MAJOR GRADY, of Atlanta, he OF the
New South, says: "The race problem
will settle itself if the people of the
North will consent to take it out of
politics, where it has no proper place."
In stern contrast with Major Grady OF
the New South comes Major and State
Senator Gibbs of the old South and
says, in discussing the proposition to
let the negroes celebrate Emancipation
Day in the capital of Georgia: "The
Emancipation Proclamation was the
work of man who was a bastard by
birth and fanatic in his manhood" 1t
strikes us that Mr.. Grady would make
more progress if, instead of trying to
get the race problem out of politics,
he would use his influence TO get Major
Gibbs and other such blatherski tie
Bourbons out of politics. Chicago

WE congratulate Indiana on having
now not only the form but the sub
stance of republican government.
In the good time coming she will undo
the infamous gerrymandering that de-
prives her people of rightful repre-
sentation in Congress and will take her
place squarely and for all time to come
in the Republican column. Chicago

The Art of Eating Watermelon

Eating watermelon Is an art, learned only
by experience. As dessert it is not sue
cess. It falls too heavily on a dinner Like
pretty girl, it Is best by itself; it loses half
lis charm by being mixed in a crowd. The
melon should be cold. 1t should be ripe It's
flesh should blush like a graduate. It's heart
should glow like a sun kissed cloud at close of
day. and it's temperature should be chilly
as the smile of a Boston belle. When you
get such a treasure do not bother with other
food. Open it, gaze on it, bury your face in
its sweetness, and let your appreciation run
riot.-Baltinore American.

R1oE,s ROMANTIC BoYHoop.

A Boston dispatch says; The childhood
OF the late Allen Thondike Rice was
marked by an exciting episode that Is only
known to few here IN Boston. When he
was u lad Of years his parents separated
and each sought possession OF the child.
His mother belonging to very wealthy
family, her mother possessing then that
very great fortune which Mr.. Rice alter
ward inherited.
Miss Bourne falling In love with Henry
G. Rice, rising young business man OF
Boston, was married TO him about 1850, and
by their union was born Allen Thorndlke.
A sister of Mr. Rice married Patrick Grant,
prominent citizen Of Boston, and their
son was Robert Grant, the well-known
author of "Confession OF a Frivolous
Girl" and other modern novels. One day
while Allen was at school at Nahant,
Boston suburb, pending the courts decls-
ion upon his possession by the parents, sit
ting side by side with his cousin Robert
Grant, a burly hackman, black rs the ace
of spades, appeared at the schoolhouse and
asked to see the boy as he had q message
to deliver to him. No sooner had the
youth stepped over the threshold, however,
than he was bundled into the hack and Inn
mediately whirled away toward Boston
The abduction was soon discovered, and
then an instant pursuit, but In vain, for the
hackman, under orders for the mother,
guNe loose Fclu 10 MS HOibto hnu uTilNcu III
the city good league ahead OF his pursuers.
His horses dropped dead that night from
the over-excrtion. For q day there was an
entire absence Of clue. Then thread was
found. The hackman, II seems, was In
reality white man blaeked with burnt
cork, and afterwar1, in washing himself,
he carelessly left smooch or two behind
the ears. BY this he was found out, was
arrested, fined and imprisoned. Following
up the clue thus gained, the boy and his
mother were traced TO q country town IN
Northern Vermont, and at last the very
hoi.se was located
The officers searched the building from
roof TO cellar, but could not find the lad
Yet he was there all this time, carefully
concealed in an underground passage. At
night Mrs. Rice and the boy slipped away
to Canada. The next heard Of they were
in Island Pond. Driven to bay again, they
went 10 Portland, aud there embarking ut
once ON coasting vessel, sailed for Rich
mond, Va, from which city they took a
vessel to England. A greater part Of the
time Allen was compelled to wear girls
clothes as q means of disguise.
1t was in this curious way that Allen
Thorndyke Rice came to visit Europe In
his earliest years, and resulted In his stay
ing abroad until, when he had attained his
majority, he decided to return to his native
land. His mother, meanwhile, had given
him splendid education in French, Ger
man, and at Oxford, Eng, where he grad
uated with honors In 1873. The adventure
in the abduction incident cost his people
$4,000 for expenses, as no money was
spared to elude the pursuers.

THE NEW COMMISSIONERS.

The appointment of Messrs. Douglass
and Hine as Commissioners of the Dis
trict meets with the general and cordial
approval of our citizens and reflects
credit upon the Presidents discriminat-
ing judgment in making the selections.
The new Commissioners will enter upon
their complicated duties with the best
wishes Of the entire community for
their successful administration of Dis
tiict affairs.
IL will be well for our new Commits.
sioners, however, TO bear in mind that
while the payers of the District are
denied all privilege of participating in
the management of their local govern
ment, they do reserve to themselves the
inalienabe right of growing and kick
ing on the slightest provocation at any
and every act of the Commissioners
which does not meet their approval.
This is the only prerogative which
our citizens, whose political rights are
emaseulated, can enjoy; 1t is the magma
eharta of our political existence and
no Congressional enactment can inter,
fere with our enjoyment of this great
and glorious privilege.
And The CRITIC desires to say to
our new governors that, from It's obser-
vations of the past history of our Dis
trict Government, more discomfort has
resulted from want Of prompt decision
and lack of sand to enforce conclu-
sions than from any other cause.
