A Popular Pair of Gloves.

A fascinating young married woman of my
acq iaintance tells quaint little experience of
hers while sojourning as a brand new bride in
a new Colorado town sac had in her possess
sion pair of black kid gloves which turne

recipient OF maay hattering little attentions
from the matrons of the camp, who did not
know how soon they might need the loan of
these emblems of mortality.

unconventional. On her first appearance on

They Liked the Jedge.


He was one of the most jovial lawyers in
Maine, round-bellied, bright-eyeI fe low with
an endless fund OF anecdotes, and while he
smoked his after-dinner cigar he told this story
of Incident that befell one of the Judges of
the Maine supreme court.
When Judge Haskell was new to the Bench,
he was accosted during a term of court at -
by venerable old farmer iurymaa, who de
sired to now Ills fIiendliness:
"Jedge," said he, I'm an old man and have
had more experience in court matters than
you have. I'm ~ years old anI have served on
tne jury nine terms. aud probably shall neve
serve ag'iu. I've got this much to say to ye,
Jedge. We've kinder taken notice of how yer
managed things, you b in new TO this business
and we Ike yer. Ali the jury like yer. We've
talked the thing over and we've voted
to stand by yer Now if any OF them lawyers
attempt to crow yer any, ledge, yer just give
US the word and well be with yer e,ery time
We've taken an interest in yer. and yer can
depend on us. That's ALL Jsdge"
This was delivered as seriously and honestly
as il father had been talking to his SON.

This Was Not In the south

At Somerset, Pa, the other day, several
hundred farmers organized, and marched
to the Jail in that place to lynch two men
who had shot deputy sheriff They pro-
posed to hang several occupants of tue jail
while they had their hand in, but owing to
the fact that a strong guard was placed
around the prison. and that heavy rain
was fallit & at the time, they failed to carry
out their purpose
That affair at Resale, Kan, an &C.
count of which was given in our telegraphic
columns yesterday, was most horrible and
revolving. If there has been a more dis
reputable occurrence Of that character in
any part OF the United States during the
last ten years, we fail to recall it to
memory.
II 1t would accomplish any good to pub
fish in the southern newspapers accounts of
the murders and OF ier crimes committed in
the north, showing up the lawlessness Of the
people of that section, page or two of the
MORNING NEWS could he filled, with only
a few lines devoted to each case. 1t is nos
worth the trouble. 1t would acc omplish no
good in the north. The northern people
have educa ed themselves into the conceit
that ey are the greatest and the best pe1-
pie on the face of the EARTH aud any efforC
on the part of southern people to correct
that error ould be- futile.
If, however, the northern people would
devote to fair examination into their vn
afeirs TIE tine that they spend in medd ing
in the affairs cf others, t convic ion
might dawn upon them that they are not as
great or as good as they think they are.
They might get rid of some very erroneous
notions.
The Pennsylvanians who attempted to
lynch meN for shooting deputy sheriff,
and the Ksnsans who wanted to lynch an
innocent man and wife, would no d ubt
want Georgia turned over to Sherman's
tender nercies again If the negroes. who,
within the past three months killed two
sheriffs in this state, had been lynched

The Growth Of savannah

The postOfiice officials in this city claim
that there are 90, 200 people within TIE limits
OF It's delivery system, and there is little
doubt that their estimate is very nearly cor
rect. It is not uncommon, however, 10 hear
people question the reports Of Savannah s
growta. These d ,ubtIng Thomases are not
strangers or visitors, for the latter see evil
dences at every hand Of thriving, growing,
prosperous city, but they are citizens Of Sa-
vannah, who seem TO take pleasure in
bell ting the city. II they hear
any one speak of the increased value Of
suburban real estate, or Of houses being
built, they shrug their shoulders and say
that it is all the work of a few men who
are specializing in lands. They shut their
eyes to what is going on, bat if they are
compelled to acknowled ge that there are
visible indie atoms of prosperity, they add,
well, where does the money come fromp
Doubtless that is question which great
many ask. 1t is easily answered by those
who have any acquaintance with what is
going on in monetary circles. The loan
and building companies, real estate and
improvement companies and the savings
banks are the mainsprings of maay of the
improvements that are TO be seen. Thou
sands Of dollars, representing the savings Of
all classes OF people, are paid in every week
to such institutions, in small sums, and are
in tIrn loaned in large amounts to borrow
ers who buy lots and build houses, aud
in that way it is redistributei among many
people, and great deal of it finds its way
-, Al. &
it was borrowed. In former times the most
OF the capital which is now bel ~ used to
quill up the city was boarded at home, and
no one, not even those who had it, derived
any good from it. Despite all
improvements that are going on,
and the immense amount of money
required to handle the business of
Savannah, money is never tight"
among those who have a0y property or
stocks. A young man, or any one else who
has few dollars saved in any of the
loan companies can always get money on
his stock, and his note is good for all his
stock is worth. Property can now be
bought or houses be built unrou IA the loan
companies, and paid for just as easily as
rent is paid. People thus help each
other. The man who saves his money
may not bu Id a house himself, but he helps
another to build one. The latter in turn
gives employment to mechanics, and they
support the grocer, the clothier, tho dry
goods and other merchants
The enterprise and activity of pros
porous city makes business, and that again
reproducss enterprise and activity. Savan-
nah's commerce, her railroads and her man
ufactures are the first causes of heractivity,
and with them as the beginning the wave
of prosperity and progress rolls on through
out all callings, and benefits all
classes. A prosperous people make a pros
porous city, and that is the reason why
Savannah is building up and spreading out.

An Emotional Actress.

From Judge.
The house was darkened for the scene,
Low sobbed the muscs moan;
With arms outstreTched she wandered in
And held the stage, alone.
Her voice stole through the GREATNESS hush
In sIlvery tunes, sub1ued;
Heart-broken patAoS thrilled and filed
That listening multitude.
The exultation of her look.
Her pure and noble grace,
Combined with drapery, seemed to make
A temple of the place.
Across the green baize garden sward,
Where trembling moonlight veered,
She traiied her long white satin train
And slowly disappeared.
Still for moment more her spell
The audience beguied,
Wnen thunder shook the roof and walla
And handkerchiefs went wild.
But as she passed into the wings
Her voice ran shrill and clear
"Oh, where the mischief is that girl?
Matilda, bring my beerl"

pemandinr More penslors.

The two pension measures which the
grand army, at its recent encampment in
Milwaukee, conside ed favorably, and
which that organization viii urge congress
70 pass, are the dependent pension bill and
the service pension bill.
The dope dent pension bill would add
from $50. 100000 to $4,000, 600 annually to
the expenditures on account of pensions.
1t provides for pension of sl4i year for
all boz orabiy discharged soldiers AMI sailors
who are now or may become disabled, and
no proof would be required that the dis
ability was the result of army service. In
addition to TITS, it would give pensions to
all widows Of soldiers and sailors. to all de-
pendent motbers of soldiers and sailors,
from the time Of actual dependence, and
would increase the pensions to minor chill
dren from 50 to IS a month.
The service pension bill would add about
s25, 600, 900 more, annually, 70 the pension
account. 1t provides for a pension Of
cent day for each days Sc vice, with
minimum Of SO a month, and it would re-
suit IN the placing upon the pension rolls of
2O00O0 to 250, 600 men who enlisted during
the last part Of the war. Many of these
men did not go into battle.
Last year tie country paid for pensions
atout SoO,OO0,0O0, and under the rulings
and decisions of Corporal Tanner aud As
sistant Secretary Bussey this amount will
be increased. II the two bills to be consid-
cred by congress should become laws, the
country would have to pay out annually
for pensions between S150,000,000 and
SloO,OOO,O 600, rot counting the increased
expenditure demanded under Tanner's and
Busaey's rulings and decisions.
What this country needs is President
who would have the urage and the patri-
otisln TO set his foot upon such raids upon
the treasury as congress will be urged to
make. 1t is all right for deserving veter-
ars to be pensioned, but extravaganza in
any department of the government Is not
TO be tolerated, and tho gates should not be
opened TO fraudulent or undesecving claim
ants. A President like Gen. Grant or Mr..
Cleveland would veto such messages as
the dependent and the service pea-
sion bills No one win deny that Gen.
Grant was friend of the soldier, but he
Kept the pension expenditures within the
limit of patriotic moderation. President
Cleveland was also friend to the soldier.
but he did not forget his obligation to the
people, and he kept the pension roll a roll
OF honor, In so far as he was able. L. is the
demagogues who yell for more pensions in
the hope Of securing more poll ical spoils
for themselves. 1t is the demagogue and
the moral coward who, as President, would
allow the people to be robbed at the COM
mand Of an organization with strong
political pull.

Some of the republicans of New Jersey
are said to have concluded that they made
mistake when they nominated Gen,
Grub for governor. The general is a very
nice sort of man, after his style, but his
style is mainly what sensible person would
be apt to object to. He holds himself aIoof
from the p.ople, has nothing in common
with them, does not sympathizo with them,
d is, in short, Philadelphia arlstocrat-
that is. man who thinks he is better than
