says the st. Louis Globe d emocrdt. Near the
curb in front Of the Metropolitan restaurant
was an empty chair. AS soon as the lady saw
this her eyes twinkled and her mouth broadened
into very perceptible smile. She made bee
hne for the chair and sat down. This was not
all she wanted, for she began to cast quick
chances in several directions. Her eve at last
caught sight of some small urchins playing in
front of the Globe Democrat office.

the lady In high key.
The kids made a scamper for the caller, and
the first one who reached her was told that she
wanted him to shine her shoes.
All right, boss; put up your hoof," ex-
claimed the sinner, forgetting the sex of his
customer.
The sight OF a woman seated in a chair on the
outer edge of sidewalk having her shoes pol
ished was novelty to the st. Louis male popu-
lation, and crowds began to gather at points not
far distant. The lady paid no attention to the
watchers, and appeared as unconcerned as If it
was an every day occurrence with her. But it
was fun for the unoccupled bootblacks.

A Brave Deed.

Madly few the sleigh over the trackless prai-
ries. 1t needed not the lash that the frantic
driver was using with all his energy to urge the
frightened horses to the top of their speed. The
oiood-curdling howls OF the wolves that grew
momentarily nearer and nearer lent wings to
the painting animals, and they tore along over
the snowy wastes, every muscle strained to its
utmost, every nerve ouivering, their nostrils
dilated, their eyes starting from their sockets,
and long trails Of fimsy vapor from their steam
ing bodies following in their wake.

sleigh. rising up, pale, but with iron resolution
written in every line of his face ''the wolves

they are checked. we are all lost. If we had

Before they could stop him he had thrown

Booming Pattison.

The republicans of the legislature of Penn
sylvania have gone into the business of
selecting democratic candidate for the
presidency. They would like to have
Gov. Pattison nominated; not because
they have any particular liking for him, but
because they think that tho next Presi-
dent win be q democrat, and that if Pat
tison should become President the present
lieutenant governor, who is a republican,
would become governor. What the repub-
lican legislators aim at, therefore, is the
getting Of republican into the guberna-
torial Office before the next gubernatorial
election.
The national Democratic party, however,
will hardly be influenced in its choice of a
Presidential candidate by the wishes of the
republican members of the Pennsylvania
legislature. But the nomination of Gov. Pat
tison for President is not outside the bounds
of probability. His public career is re-
markably successful one and he has proven
himself to be man of much more than
ordinary ability, and one who understands
that the surest way to win the good will of
the people is TO do what he believes to be
right, regardless of the effe, of his actions
upon his own political future
Mr.. Pattison has been twice elected gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, aud be has held i'm
portant offices in the city of Philadelphia.
When it is remembered that there is an inn
mense republican majority in Pennsylvania,
and also in Philadelphia, it will be admitted
that his political career has been most
remarkable one. He could not, of course,
carry Pennsylvania as the democratic can
didate for President. but he could come
nearer doing 50. perhaps, than any other
man.
But there does not seem to be any use of
talking about a man as presidential can
didate who could not carry his own state.
The republican members of the Pennsylva-
mia legislature will not have voice in nam
ing the democratio Presidential candidate

A Pointer for Our Legislators.

The grand Jury OF this county has taken
notice OF the extraordinarily large income
OF the county treasurer from his Office. and
has recommended that the Representatives
of the county address themselves earnestly
TO the work Of relieving the taxpayers OF
the greater part of the burden which the
treasurer's odice imposes upon them. From
the figures WHICH the grand jury presents
the treasurer will get from his offics this
year the magnificent sum Of $1,000. And
what service does he render for such princeiy
remuneration The grand jury says that
the only service he renders co the county is
''to issue his receipts 20 the tax collector
for funds received and pay out these funds
on an order Of the county commissioners,
and keep a record OF the same" Truly the
duties Of the Office are not burdensome, nor
do they require special training or a high
order Of business ability. Amy man Of or
binary intelligence could perform them sat
isfactorily. Indeed, any one of the banks
probably would willingly discharge the du-
ties without any compensation. Il would
be satisfied with being the depository of the
county funds
Why, then, should the taxpayers of the
county be burdened with an expense of
from 5000 to $1,000 year for the luxury
Of treasurer7
But IL a treasurer is a necessity, why
should he be paid more than the treasurers
Of other counties which rank with Chathaml
The grand jury says that Fulton county,
in which Atlanta is situated, pays her
treasurer only 1880. Bib county, in
which Macon is situated, pays 81. 900 for
the services Of treasurer and clerk Of the
county commissioners, and Richmond
county, in which Augusta is situated, pays
only g., 200. Is Chatham so rich that she
can afford to pay treasurer all the way
from $1,000 to 81, 900 yeari
II che Chatham county representatives
wish to render the county a real service
here is a chance for them TO do 50. And the
voters will keep an eye upon them with the
view Of finding out how deeply they are
interested in the county's welfare. After
the grand jury has spoken so emphatically
In condemnation of this burden which the
treasurer's office imposes upon the tax
payers, they cannot plead that they are not
aware that the burden is an Objectionable
one.
And it is not probabls that they will make
such plea. Thus far they have shown a
disposition 20 respond promptly to the
wishes of their constituents, and failure to
do so in the matter of the treasurer's Office
would excite surprise and elicit inquiry.
A fair salary for the treasurer. in COM
parison with the compensation which that
official nov receives, would result in the
saving OF a large sum annually sum
which, in a very few years, would amount
to enough to build a handsome schoolhouse,

Erfherz at Hlections.

The grand jury Of this county, in its re-
port, which was published yesterday. says:
We respectfully urge upon the represent
atives from Chatham county IN the state
legislature to frame ana present for passage
| some suitable law in reference TO elections
that will protect our community from the
danger threatened by the purchase and sale
of votes-at least 10 diminish the possibilities
| that exist The purchase Of the franchise
or the sale Of the same should be among
| the greatest crimes, and should be dis
/ countenanced by ell true and patriotic citi-
zens. IL Is one OF the most dangerous ele-
| ments in our system Of government, and
calls for the most stringent laws 20 protect
| the ballot and defeat these fraudulent prec-
nifty where there seems TO be 50 much pur-
chasable material.
Yes, there is a good deal Of ''purchasabls
material" in this county, and, If common
report is correct, the material" is pur-
chased. AT local elections the ''purchasable
material" is easily distinguishaple. The
amount Of it is Iarge-very large-and
what is most alarming Is that tho amount
Of it is increasing.
But who is to blame for the existence of
this ''purchasable materialT' Are not those
who offer the brides just as guilty of wrong
doing as those who receive theml If the
guilt is to be measured by the standard of
intelligence are not the bribers more guilty
than the bribedi
The grand jury asks for the enactment of
more stringent laws against bribery at cleo
tions. What fault is there to be found with
the laws against bribery at elections which
are now in FORGET If they cannot be en-
forced, what prospect is there that more
stringent ones will BET But IL 1t be possible
TO frame laws against this bribsTy evil that
can be enforced let them be enacted by all
means
The purchasing of votes Is an evil full Of
danger. All good citizens would be glad to
have 10 stopped. But how can it be stoppedl
Laws against it do not seem TO he effective.
The trouble is that public opinion is not
as strongly against it as it should be. II
there were healthy public opinion with
regard TO it, no one would dare to offer or
accept bride fo- vote. Citizens who
witnessed the giving and accepting of brides
would not hesitate to inform the proper
authorities of the crime, and prosecution
and punishment would follow.
Now, those who know of cases OF bribery
are silent. Even those who strongly condemn
the bribery evil do not take steps to have the
law against it enforced They are afraid
public opinion would DOT sustain them, and
that they would be pointed at and scorned
as informers. This condition of public
sentiment is very unfortunate, isitnotl And
who is responsible for it? Certainly those
who make the public sentiment of the COM
munity are chiefly responsible.
The periodical Examinations of grand
juries against the bribery evil are good
enough in their way, but they are not much
more effective than paper wads fired at an
armored ship. The community must be so
aroused to the danger of the bribery evil
that the laws against it can be easily en-
forced. Then the evil will cease.

Grave supreme court judges of Pennsyl-
vania have deliberately decided that shaving
on the Sabbath day is decidedly desirable,
but not absolutely necessary when the oper-
alton involves the possibility of keeping
open public shop to the profit of the artist
and the scandal Of the public and the
church. In other words the court finds that
what man may do on the Sabbath with
perfect propriety as a necessity can not
legitimately be done as source of profit.
That is clear distinction, although the law
is nearly 100 years old.

A sensational story is afoat to the effect
that Judge William WEIGH OF Minneapolis,
Mimi, intends to try to keep United States
Senator-elect Villas of Wisconsin out of his
seat in the Senate. His purpose Is, it is
said, to object TO Villas taking the oath as
senator, on the ground that he stands
convicted Of crime. The trouble has some
thing to do with the Madison Mutual
Insurance Company. 1t is alleged that Mr.
Villas and his co-directors of the company
appropriated the surplus funds of the COM
pany without the authority Of law. Doubt
less the charge against Villas has no founda-
ton. If he were guilty of crime of any
kind the proper course would be to have him
indicted and tried. That he has not been
indicted is pretty good evidence that he is
not guilty Of any wrong-doing.

Inspecting schools and making speeches to
the students is quite new intellectual oc-
cupation for the great chiefs of the Ollaga-
wallas. But they went to Carlisle the other
day, and, like others who ought to know
better, probably undertook to instill into
the youthful mind philosophic ideas about
spelling things they have forgotten and
square roots that they long since uprooted
from memory. Killing people in their Gus
tomary savage manner is positively luxur-
ious compared with some means they might
adopt if they were once fully civilized.
