ONE mob usually begets another.
The country had scarcely recovered
from its surprise and regret at the
action of the New Orleans mob
when it was startled by the news
that a mob composed Of United
States soldiers, men supposed to be
trained to obey the lawful authori-
ties without question, had lynched a
man in the State of Washington.
All of which shows that, aside from
the slight veneering of civilization,
men are very much the same as they
were in the barbaric ages. The
President has very properly directed
that a searching inquiry be made in
to this Iynching, and that the guilty
be brought to trial,

tainment.

The give-something for-nothing,
so-called cooperative concerns seem
to be in a bad way all over the coun-
try. Two of them with headquar-
tiers in Philadelphia, with member

made assignments in one day re-
Gently. Whenever some fellow dis
covers a safe way to invest thirty OF
forty dollars SO that it IS certain to
make a hundred dollars profit in
ninety days, this class of organiza-
tons may become permanently sue
cessful, but that discovery has not
yet been made.

A DisreputabIe Scene.

The closing scenes Of the late Wis
consin legislature were the most dis
reputable in the history of the state.
During the closing hours Wednesday
evening, the session reached elm
ak that was disgusting. All day
long the session was interrupted by
the throwing of files, books and bas-
kets, until the floor Of the Assembly
was like a lowdown bar room.
Nothing serious was done, however,
to suppress the disreputable conduct
In the evening Mr.. Henderson, q
member from Dane county, rough
Scotch farmer, was put in the chair

A Boom For Uncle Jerry.

Minneapolis Tribune: Who knows
but what out of all of this discussion
NAV come a boom for Uncle Jerry
Rusk for President? Uncle Jerry is
an ideal agriculturist. He can beat
any man in the United States riding
the near leader and plotting four
horse load of hay to the stacking
ground. He was a soldier and a
good one. The Milwaukee mob
found that out when he was Cover
nor. His publication on the life and
services of the horse is the most
popular work issued by the govern
ment. If he wouldn't suit the alIi-
ance who would? He is sound on
the Mckinley bill and is chock full
of reciprocity. The Republican
party might so good deal further
and fare worse, and if he takes a
notion to be President all the other
candidates might as we'll come down
like Davy Crocketts coon and hold
up their legs to be tied, for the devil
himself can't stop Uncle Jerry when
once he gets started

and his retorts and ludicrous actions
were appreciated by large crowd
of spectators and the members, until
he seemed to lose his mind. He
stepped upon the desk and grasping
a pitcher filled with water and ice,
threw the contents over the crowd,
following it up by throwing tum-
bier. Some members were soaked
and several were hit with pieces of
ice. Several ladies were greatly
frightened, and children screamed.

THE ravages of the disease popu-
larly known as "the grip" are more
noticeable in this country during the
present than during last year, and
late dispatches from England indi-
cate an extraordinary condition OF
suffering from it in some parts of
that kingdom. Medical science
seems to fail in dealing with this
scourge and it may possibly yet be
come a pestilence comparable with
the plaques of former centuries.

IF the Pope had been a candidate
for office in Wisconsin last fall he
would have been defeated because
he declares that parochial schools
should not be maintained where
they cannot be made as good as the
public schools; that it is better that
Catholic children go to the public
schools than that they be sent to
poor parOchial schools.

TIE final utterance of the Mar

THE final utterance of the Mar
qnis di Rudini upon the New Or
leans lynching are singularly differ
ent in tone from his first remarks to
Mr. Blaine. They constitute a COM
plete baCk,down from the truculent
and altogether untenable position at
first assumed by his government.
This is as it should be. Italy never
meant to so to war with the Unite d
States, and the indications that it
did, came only from hot headed or
mschievous Italian politicians.

Judge WinsIow's Appointment.

The selection of either Of the four
candidates for associate justice of
the Supreme court to succeed the
late Justice Taylor would have es-
capped criticism, but there were good
reasons why Gov. Peck should name
Judge Winslow, of the First circuit.
He had the Endorsement Of a large
number of the lawyers of the state,
and, with the exception Of Judge
Ellis, he has had longer exper-
fence on the bench. It would be
possible to mention Democratic law
vers who would offer more brilliancy
as qualification, but there is nc
doubt as to the fitness of Judge
Winslow and as to the popularity OF
the choice.
Possibly there were political rea
sons, as alleged, back of this ap-
pointment, but it is only fair tc
credit Gov. Peck with an honest
effort to consider the wishes ohlead
ing members of the bar. No capdi
date could have been urged witt
more zeal and sincerity by Lawyers
of both political parties. The ii
dorsement Of Judge Winslow wa:
not limited to this quarter of The
state but some Of the most urgen
calls for his appointment were from
other sections. The anpointmen

Grotesaue Flight or Kaugaroos.

Describing kangaroo hunt in Scrib-
'ner, Birge Harrison says: The rest OF
the herd immediately made off in our di-
rection; but instead of scattering pell-
nell as other wild animals would have
done under like circumstances, these queer
denizens OF queer country fell into line
and departe d in regular Indian file, the
big old doe leading the way, and the
smallest diminutive pickaninnies bring
ing up the rear. The doe covered the
ground with tz1psnH2s leisurely hops,

Idiminutive, counterpart of the leader
followed in gradually diminishing per.
spective, every little beggar hopping
just little more rapidly than the one be-
fore him, until the fast flying legs of the
last puny fellow at the end of the line
were blurred like the spokes of wheel
in rapid motion. The effect of this ex-
l.traordinary procession was to my unac-
.customed eyes, so altogether ludicrous
and absurd, that nearly lost my shot in
an uncomfortable burst of laughter. As
it was, l might just as well have had my
laugh to the end, for although | let the
old doe have both barrels full in the
flank as she passed me at twenty yards
distance, she never even faltered in her
course, and had quite disappeared in the
scrub, with all her numerous progeny at
her heels, before had time to replace
the empty cartridges. The No. 3 shot,

have brought her down if had aimed
at the head, for one pellet penetrating
the brain through the eye would have
been sufficient. But the motion was so
eccentric and perpleNing that this would
have been very risky shot, and pre-
ferred the chance of stunning her by a
direct double charge full in the body,
to the almost absolute certainty Of miss
ing her altogether by attempting the
more difficult shot.

PrccautiOn Against Floods.

but the embdnkments, and trestles, and

the latest freshet mark, but well above
the great natural food mark found in the
plain i.selfz and the reciprocal effects of
'embanKments'a ana Other structures on
future freshets should be cautiously
reckoned. Farms may and ought to be
located on fertile bottom lands enriched
by annual or decennial overflow; but the
farmer should dig deep for his founda-
tions and build his supcrstructurcs strong
and high. On every food plain of Eastern
America he should provide for the loss
of crop and fences once in three, or five,
or ten years; and both common humanit,
and economic policy urge that duml
beasts should be pasturcd and fed on the
uplands, so that the fertile river bottoms
may be devoted to their best use, namely,
the production of plant crops. Cities
and towns ought not to be built on the
flood hidden and miasmatic lowlands:
yet they have been in the past and will
be in the future, SO tho townsman, like

THE LITTLE GOLD NUGGET.

1t was given to Effie to take care of.
1t was not great prize, for it weighed
only seven ounces; but it represented the
only result of strong mans toll for
many weeks. and, MS nuggets 60, it was
considered by no means bad "find."
John Archer decided that the nugget
would be safer in his little daughters
keeping than in his own. There were
thieves and lawless men ut this new gold
Iush. as at all new gold rushes. and -ther
would know of his prize. They would
probably try to annex it. They would
search all sorts of cunning hiding places
in the neighborhood of his tent; they
might even creep into the hut at night,
to feel under his pillow and among his
rough bedding for the yellow earth that
folk hate each other for. II he caught
the thief be would shoot him, but better
not TO run the risk of losing his treasure
And so he gave it to Etfie to put in her
old work box. The thieves of the T
diggiDgs would be too cunning to think
Of examining such an improbable hiding
place.

She knew that this. yellow earth was of
great value, Tor her father, leaving her
mother, who was very delicate, With
some friends in Brisbane, had come a
long, weary way to find it, and she had
seen his sorrow, his despair, as day after
day he had eagerly worked with pick
and spade, without finding what he
sought.
Having hidden the little nugget away,
Effic came out of the hut to look round
and see if any one was near who might
have seen her. No. No one was near
who might have seen her-only Billy the

Strange Story Of a Dream.

It was some tin = in the spring of 1866
that Jethro Jacks IN went to Resaca to
lcok for the grave Of his son, who was
killed in battle. Like many others, he
wished TO- find the remains, and to take
thcm to Griffin and inter them in the
family burying ground.
The comrades who laid young Jackson
to rest gave the father a description of
the spot where they had buried him, tell.
ing him about the rude pine coffin made
from the boards taken from the bridge.
After many days of tireless search NJ
Jackson failed to locate his sons grave,
and returned to his home in Griffin. A
few nights after his return he dreamed
that his son came to him and pointed out
the spot where he was buried.
The dream was like vision. He saw
his son standing besrle his bed and heard
him say:
Father, l am buried under a mouud
which was thrown up after 1 was killed.
You will know the mound when you see
1t by the pokeberry bushes growing upon
1t. Go and take me up and carry me
home to mother"
30 strong an impression did this
dream make upon Mr.. Jackson, that he
returned at once to Resaca, taking with
him one of the comrades who had buried
his son.
The mound was found just as de-
scribed in the dream, and the pokeberries
were growing upon it. An excavation
was made, and few feet below the
earth the rougb pine aus seassn was s. found S2m3ds

only by the coffin and the shoes, which
were apresent from the father, but by the
name which was on the clothing. At
