neighbors, and also his smile, which
grew more supremacy happy as the mo

could be heard.
When everything was arranged to his

A curious survival of ancient phrase

market at hours when the crowds pass,
ing up and down the outer aisles are at
their thickest. 1t belongs to the prem
tiee days of Merry England, when every
s~hopkeeper had his prentice ladsmarch
up and down in front of his warehouse,
crying, What dye buy, ladies; what
dye buyF Sir Walter Scott embodies
the phrase in his novels, and it can be
heard just as pat" as If taken out of
the books from the lips of a tall, gray
haired man who has hams to sell, and
a sturdy, rosy young butcher who deals
in beef and veal. 1t has a quaint sound
whenever heard, this MEDIEVAL voice
of the tradesman, and sends a senti-
mental auditor away with a queer i'm
preston of having somehow straddled
across two centuries in his lifetime, or
of being mixed up in his dreams New

CONSIDERING everything the following
editorial from the Omaha Bee is rather
amusing: Interest in Wyoming politics

that Mormon interests enter largely into

The "GlOriOus Fourth"

BY the time this issue OF the
HERALD reaches its readers, it will
be the one hundred and fifteenth
anniversary of the adoption Of the
Declaration Of independence. 1t
is the custom to keep the anniver-
sary of the nations birth with much
making Of joyful noises the young
Sters express their gladness at each
annual miIe.poSt by marking the
ascending years Of our nations free
dom by the crack Of torpedoes and
the like. The Fourth of July is
young Americas day OF unrestricted
noise, in any and all possible ways.
Let the boys have their fun; they
will be better men for recalling the
adoleScent JOYS of the dav when
youth is past. To those of maturcr
years, however, the thought of our
growing greatness should inspire
their breasts with pride and patriot
ism, and amid the internal din of
cracker, and the gladstone shouts of
the children, which mark the dav,
they should be able to appreci late
more thoroughly as the years go by
the blessings Of civil and religious
liberty. 1t is will to turn back
ward in thought to the original
Fourth when, amid the times that
tried mems souls, when "thc golden
sun of liberty had nearly set in the
gloom of an eternal night" the revo.
lutlonary fathers pledged their lives,
their fortunes, aud their sacred
honors to the maintenance of the
intrepid declaration Of national free
dom. They laid the foundations,
in doubt and darkness, amid the
gloom of quick coming war, of that
glorious cdiiice of a government by
the people, to which we owe the
manifold blessings we to-day enjoy. |

Morrison In Trouble Again,

The following, Especial to tho
New York Mail and Express) con
corning a former resident of ISLAND
Pond, is not very interesting read
ing:
JASPER, Fla. The democrats OF
this (llamilton) county have fur
nlshed another example of the de
lights of living under a republican
form Of government as administered
by democrats.
Such a small thing as the Con.
Stitution of the United States Is
nothing in democratic eyes compared
with the qualification of party NAL.
ice and spite.
The latest exhibition of this kind
and which is in direct defiance of
the Constitution is the persecution
of Postmaster Morrison of White
Springs, Unfortunately for Mr.
Morrison he is Republican.
Some people up North would not
think this much of a crime, but
down here a man might better be
thief, robLer or an incendiary
than a Republican, for, in either of
these cases, he would be prosecuted,
while in the latter he is prosecuted.
Aside from his political convic.
tons, Morrison is n good fellow.
Even the untcrriiied and unwashed
democrats of Hamilton County ad.
init that, but nevertheless he is an
outcast. In q moment Of mental
weakness Morrison took the office
OF postmaster of White Springs,
and since that time he has been
miserable.
The lowest chicken thief in the
community was deemed worthy of
more consideration by the "chiv-
airy" and insults and abuse of every
kind were heaped on the unfortunate
man. Finally he could stand it no
longer and went to WASHINGTON,
where he made formal complaint
Of the treatment.
When this news reached White
Springs the chivalry" felt that
something must be done to suppress
this lnsolent Republican who dared
to complain of their conduct. Nor.
rlson's record was carefully searched,
and the only thing r'i4t could be
found against him was an old iniict.
nent for compounding felony, the
allegation being that he had accept.
