He Didn't Like the Sermon.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal


There is a familiar story about how Daniel
webster, when he was practicing law in New
hampshire. loftily denounced a quotation from
text book made by rival attorney as absurd
and untenable, upon which the opposing lawyer
quietly explained that the passage so CON
temptuously treated had been introduced into
the volume from one of Lord Mansfield's de-
csions, that great jurists exact language
being preserved. The following anecdote about
famous old character in Whitley county, Ken
lucky, has much the same flavor. Joshua Bar
nett was wag and a religious orator, and pos
sessed prodigious memory. This Jelico NeIUs
tells tn story:
Uncle Josh. as he was generally called had
an appointment to preach one Sunday at an
out-of-the-way log schoo-house in his neigh
nation attended the meeting for the purpose of
criticising the sermon. One was named Jones,
the other Warman. Uncle Josh, who, it ap-
pears, was aware of their intentions, concluded
TO checkmate them, and instead of preaching a
sermon h commenced repeating from memory
and without any comment whatever one of the
EplstleS of st. Paul; for nearly an hour chapter
after chapter fell from his lips, accompanied by
grave and decorous gesture and information.
Brother Jones at the end of some thirty min
uteS arose with grave disapproval written all
over his face, and retired from the house. and
took seat in the yard upon barkless and
Brother Warman stood it some ten minutes
longer, when he. too. arose and joined Brother
Jones. We'll, Brother Warman, what do you
think of such sermonT said Brother Jones
Think? said Brother Warman, why / think if
the good Lord will forgive me this time for
listening to such rotten doctrine, 1 will never
be guilty again."

Watch the Nurses.

Some sort of society to prevent cruelty
to children seems to be needed in this city.
The MORNING NEWS has from time to
time recorded instances of brutal treat
ment of children by colored boys and men,
such as the striking of a child with a rock
and the throwing of carriage and baby
in front of a team. Occurrences like these
are rare, of course, and the perpetrators of
such acts are pretty certain to be punished.
but the abuses which young children suffer
at the hands Of their coIored nurses
are not rare, and they are not corrected and
the most Of them are not noticed. People
passing through the public squares, where the
children are sent t. get fresh air, have fire.
quently seen colored nurses slap children
mercilessly, and otherwise abuse them. 1t
is an everyday occurrence. There are
some kindly disposed, responsible colored
nurses in the city, but there are a great
many more who have no just conception of
their duties, and who by maltreatmsnt
make the children afraid of them, as
the surest means of having an
easy time. They spelk roughly to them,
order them about, and in a fit of passion
strike them. They leave them to tase care
of themselves, and, between Entertainment
and neglect, children sometimes receive
injuries from which they do not recover for
long time It would be better for them
to be unprovided with nurses, and to get
into the open air only when they could be
taken QUE by some member of the family,
than for them to have such nurses. Negro
| girls are frequently hired out as nurses by
their relatives, who take their wages, and
in such instances they are very often indif-
ferent to their duties, and are cruel to the
children placed in their charge because
t-ey are dissatified.
The mothers of these children are partly
to blame for this state of affairs They are
too anxious to escape the care of their
little ones, and when they employ a nurse
they feel that their responsibility has been
in great measure placed upon other
shoulders They allow their children t.
remain too long out of their sight, and they
are not diligent in finding out what kind Of
treatm mt the nurses give them.
The abusers alluded to need correction.
and parents could do much go correct them.

Not Parallel Cases.

The Philadat b III Times claims to be in
dependent in politics. but it has over
reached the mark In its attempt to main
tain pdfact Independence with regard to
the attempt 81 the republicans Of Montana
to fraudulentIy obtain a majority in the
leg stature OF that state. Speaking Of that
matter, it says: "If the democrats can re-
verse an election for governor in West
Virginia, there is no reason why the re-
publicans may not reverse an election for
the legislature in Montana. 1t is not
question Of right, but of power" This is
Intended to place the action of the demo-
Gratis of West Virginia and of the rspub-
licans Of Montana upon the same footing,
and the republican organs have not been
backward about making the most of it.
The two cases are not parallel. The legls
lative committee in West Virginia had
good ground for throwing out republican
votes. 1t was clearly established that sew
eral hundred colorsd men were brought into
that state from neighboring states for the
purpose of voting the republican ticket.
These people had no right to vote in West
Virginia, as they were citizens of other
states. aud their vot S were very properly
thrown out. The committee could not have
rightly done otherwise. In Montana,
however. no fraud was charged
against the democrats. The election
was conducted under the Australian system.
and it was conceded to be fair election.
The vote of precinct in Silver Bow county
was thrown out upon technical grounds by
a partisan canvassing board, aud it looks
very much as if the count in that county
was purposely delayed, so that the repub-
licans might resortto the well known tactics
of their party in case the state went demo-
cratic. 1t is true that some of the repub-
lican newspapers have charged the demo-
Gratis with fraud in the election since
the action of the canvassing board,
but this seems to have been an
after thought, to bolster up weak case.
The action of the canvassing board is not
sust aimed by the best republican sentiment
in Montana, and leading lawyers of both
parties agree that the board had no legal
power to reject the votes. Several years
ago the supreme court of Montana decided
that if votes were legally cast in that state
they could not be thrown out on techni-
cality. If the matter is brought before
Judge DeWolfe it is highly probable that
the canvassers will be ordered to count the
votes, but some OF the republicans are said
to be trying to get President Harrison to
appoint in Judge DsWolfe's place a re-
publican who will disregard the law.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1889-10-21

President Harrison sometimes has a
rather delicate way Of asking a democrat
to resign. For instance, he wrote to an
Indiana democrat recently: II do not wish
to make any official request or suggestion
to you, but change cannot muca longer
be deferred in your office, and my desire
has been that it might be made in way as
agreeable to you as possible. This is the
iect of this personal note Please inform
me OF your purpose" OF course this re-
suited in the democrats resignation; and
the President sent him another lie ter.
thanking him for his "manly and friendly
course in the matter" All of which sou ads
very well. but it will be observed that the
democrat got out as effectually as if he
had been kicked out with 4O-mule power,
and that republican is securely fixed in
his place

The Car Stove Going.

Steam helters are rapidly taking the
place of the deadly stoves in railroad cars.
The steam is supplied by the locomotive,
and is sent through all the cars of a train.
New York has law against the use of a
stove in railroad cars, and if railroad COM
panies in other states show much hesitation
in getting rid Of the car stoves they will be-
forced by stringent laws to adopt the re-
form. As a matter of fact, however, rail
road companies are rather anxious than
Otherwise to adopt steam heaters in place
of stoves because they are cheaper, and
also because, in case of disastrous accidents,
the damage to property and the loss of life
Will not be so great. They are going a
little slow because there are several patents
for steam heating, and they are testing
them to discover which is the best.
The Pennsylvania Central is using steam
heaters on some of its cars, and is having
them put into others. The Reading rail.
road is doing the same thing The Balti-
more and Ohio began using steam for
heating its cars last winter, and most of its
cars will be heated by that means next
winter. In fact. it will not be very long
before all the railroads in the country will
be heating their cars with steam, and then
there will be no more such holocausts a.

Ireland's Denomination.

Some suggestive figures are given in a
recent statement of the population of Ire
land in 1889 and at various other times
since 1901.
In 1901, when by legislative union the
history of Ireland was merged into that Of
Great Britain, Irelands population was
5,3O0,0O0, and between 1901 and 1s4l it was
increased nearly 100000. From 1871. how
ever, a rapid and significant decrease began.
This decrease was due to famines between
1871 and 1851 and in 1872 and to emigra-
ton, the emigration being caused primarily
by the treatment Ireland received
at the hands of England. From
1851 to 1861 the population fell off
773,0OO, in the next decade 10000,
in the next 252, 900, and from 1881 to 1889,
$4,000. With a population of $500, 600 in
1901, and of s, 222, 664 in 1S4l. Ireland now
has only An, 534 Inhabitants, decrease
since 1S41 of S,445,1 1t will be seen
that even in 1901 there were half q million
more people in Ireland than at the
present time. No such decrease has been
witnessed in any other civilized country in
modern times. The population OF England
and Scotland during the same period OF
time has greatly increased.
If the population of Ireland had main.
tanned its normal rate of increase, it would
now be about IL 100000, and if England
had pursued just course toward her there
is no doubt that her population would have
steadily increased.
