An esteemed contemporary remarks that
there is no difference of opinion In the Re-
publican party as to the necessity of gener.
al election law to remedy the greatest wrong
OF the age. The party stands irrevocably
pledged to the enactment of this legisla-
tton." We do not think our contemporary is
right very considerable difference of
opinion has been developed amongst the Re-
publicans Of the United States Senate rela-
tive to propriety and value of tie proposed
legislation. The party stands pledged in its
platform to such legislation as shall secure
free ballot and fair count throughout the
country. But such resolution as that does
not commit the party or its representatives
to any particular measure. II Senator or
Representative believes that the Lodge bill
will not secure free ballot and fair count
he Is not recreaDt to the national platform
when he votes against 1t. Our esteemed con-
temporary was undertaking to show that
Republican Senator could not vote against
the election bill without treacbery to the prir.
ciples of the Republican party, while a Re-
publican member of the Maine House of
Representatives could vote against the Aus
tralian bill without being amenable to that
charge. The fact is that they are both
guilty Of treachery If they believe the bill
In question are likely to purify the ballot,
but If theydo not they are guilty of treachery
In neither case. In view of the tremen-
dous opposition manifested toward 1t by the
Democrats it is difficult to see how any Re-
publican can fail to see that the election Dill
was destined 20 purify in some degree the
ballot, and 1t is therefore difficult to acouit
tnose VINO voted against it OF treachery to
their principles. So il is difficult to under
stand how any one can fail to see that the
Australian system is destined to conduce I,
fair and free elections.

The Monkey House IN acensrsI Park.
lHarDers Vouno paon1o7

A-~F~Ns-@Ah&hS A0Dplc
The monkey house in Central Park is the
favorite tof that half-million of chill
dren who live In and around New York.
Here there are fifty monkeys. In one big
cage there are dozen new monkeys not vet
thoroughly accustomed to civilization. Their
cage has to be tidied, and so, when the keep
er enters with his broom, the whole lot of
them squeal and scamper off to the opposite
side OF the cage, and huddle there. am
certain they are not really scared, but only
pretend. In this lot Of monkeys, one two
foot monkey has become the dear friend OF a
very small one. and so, whenever they scam
per from one side Of the cage to the other,
the big on eacts as horse for the little one.
All the monkeys are on intimate terms
with Mr.. Jacob, the keeper. and some are
never happy unless they get into his arms or
can hang about his neck. AS the keeper
has to use his broom vigorously In sweeping
the floor, 1t Is funny to see him carry around
necklace OF five monkeys while at his
work.
That monkey house is scene of perpetual
motion. 1t can only be quiet when all hands
are asleep Yon will see a monkey still and
motionless, and you will say THAT chap is

Another shooting down east of man by
mistake for deer calls attention to the bill
recently introduced by Senator Rogers of
Washington county, making. such shooting
manslaughter and the punishment imprison-
ment in the State Prison. Senator Rogers is
physician belonging in Pembroke, and just
before going to Augusta he had under bis
care man who bad been seriously shot by
mistake for deer. DR.. Rogers says people
are getting to be. afraid to go into the woods
down In Washington county not for fear of
wild animals but because somebody may
mistake them for deer and add to long list
Of deaths growing out Of such blunders
Besides this, among the sportsmen who roam
through the woods for perfectly legitimate
purposes, are some men Of entirely different
character who may have private differences
to settle and may 1ot be over particular as to
the methods they employ. These frequent
accidents may be made the cloak for murder.
In fact, the story is told of one man, who
came very near being shot In the woods, and
who. when he asked the other fellow what
he meant by blazing away at him was told,
not that he was taken for deer, but ST
thought you were another man."

MI. Thayer of Waterville got some motto
riety by introducing his envelope bill. He
will get some more now by virtue Of the fol-
owing. which he asks the House of Repre-
sentatives to make law:
Towns shall provide school books for ths use
OF the pupils Ia The public schools, and
In pafochiai and uriyate schools, which have be-
come prrma emily established in the opinion of
the school board at tho expense Of said towns
and Ill money raised and appropriated for that
purpose shall be assessed like other money.
Here is move looking to the recognition
of the parochial school as public institu-
tion, entitled like the common school to be
supported by general taxation. 1t is not at
all probable that any legislature OF Maine
will knowingly consent to such recognition,
and the only effect of Mr.. Thayer's bill will
be to stir up passions that had better be al
lowed to remain dormant. We do not be-
lieve the Catholics have generally asked for
any such recognition of the parcchical
school as this bill implies. The probability
Is that the bill has its origin in little poliri-
cal ring at Waterville, and was introduced
purely for political purpose.

The disappearance Of the elections bill l
leaves no measure before either House over
which the Democrats will be inclined to fili-
buster very desperately. with the possible
exception OF the shipping bill which is before
the House. OF course the effect of Its disap-
pearance is greatly to lessen the prospect of
an extra session. 1t would seem now that
all the legislation absolutely necessary to
keep the government moving might be COM
pleted by the fourth of March. if the Demo-
Gratis do not fritter away any more time with
dllatory motions and useless roll calls. An
extra session ought to be avoided II possible.
especially as the incoming House is made up
ofsuch cranky elements that it is liable to fire
off some very dangerous legislation. Before
next winter the financial situation will be
much clearer than 1t is now probably. and
perhaps the silver craze will have scent a
part of It's force so that there will be less
demand for radical legislation next Decem.
Der than there would be in April or May.

Senator Stanford's statement of his posi-
ton regarding cloture and the election bill
practically settles the fate of both meas

be taken up, and his statement makes IL clear
that his vote cannot be had except upon con-
ditions that would render 1t worthless, rs
far as passing the election bill Is concerned.

The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1891-07-16
On the Wing from Glenn's.

GREENWOOD, S. C., July l3, 1891.
Dear old Herald and News: / thought
perhaps you would like a few dots
about Glenn Springs, and as I am
train-bound, Jour train being one hour
late) I thought I would give you little
of the latest news.
The trip to Glenn's was very pleas
ant one, l left Newberry at s.07 o'clock
and arrived in Spartanburg about two
o'clock in the afternoon of the same
day. Then Blowers takes you in hand,
and after three hours shaking,up, you
60 to the Saratoga Of the South.
Newberry is we'll represented by Mr..
W. II. Wallace of the "Observer,"
Burr Waterbury, Rikard and Henry
Kinard. "Bud" is trying to destroy the
crop of blackberries, and he seems to
prefer the "berries to love-" Waterbury
is improving rapidly; has gained about
seventy-five pounds in the last twenty
years.
Glenn's has quite large crowd Of
visitors just now, although larger
crowds are expected next month.
We had three sermons on yesterday
one by the resident Episcopal minis
ter on ''communion"; one by Rev. DR..
Witherspoon on the ''Sea and Sailors
and their Conversion" and Rev. Jno.
e. Seegers preached on "Prayer" at
the hotel at night.
I would say to all who are afflicted
to 60 to Glenn's. What the water does
not cure, the boys you meet will i'm
prove. Windy" seemed to take the
cake. All the girls fell in love with
him; he seemed to "know" them all
But I must close, as I fear the waste
basket.
W. II. Hatton, G. f. Werber and
myself are here. Mr.. Werber on his
way home from Washington, D. c.,
and Mr.. Hatton and myself from
Glenn's. We feel like exclaiming as
Richard III in Shakespeare, ga horse!
horse kingdom for horse"-only
we would like train to Newberry.
Yours truly,
5. 3. B.
