Two Illustrations.

The tramp printer is one of those
Bohemian characters that finds in the
pleasure of this lite the hardships OF
adversely.
He is not bad fellow, and often
his mind is a store house of genius and
a depository of learning.
te has his faults just as other PEG,
ple,sbut sometimes his shabby exter,
rior covers'a heart as noble as any that
ever Dulsated in human breast, and
his mind, when arouse, glistens like a
diamond in the gas light.
Goldsmith, the great poet, whose
sweet refrains have charmed the world
from the first day he ever wrote a line,
was just such II Bohemian genius
The two following illustrations of
this class of mankind serve to show
their virtues in the midst of their ad,
versities and stand out strongly as a
commentator of their genius.
The Irwinton Blade says;
"The TRAMP" printer is often
found to be genius. One OF the
fraternity walked into the office of the
Irwinton Blade recently and compos~
ed the following;
"Well, this is strange by all the gods!
never dream'd my shoe
Would press the antiquated clods
Where Sherman's band pass d thro',
Nor battle gainst such fearful odds
As now Ineed must do.
Yet here l am; nor friend nor foe
Within three hundred miles;
Nor genial bank of Northern snow
A Northern welcome smiles;
But only rain below,
And clouds above in piles.
Ye gods! l ask, were Sherman's men
One-half so blue as | am?
Yet, why should they be gloomy when
They ate three meals per diem,
And found at eve some shady glen
Where they at ease might lie 'em?
The Macon County 1itizen, of April

boy":

A DEVIL FISH.
The Terrible Monster Caught Negroes
in Broad River.

A special to The Daniels
vile Monitor from Madison coun-
( ty tells OF the capture OF devil fish in
Broad river, near Daniels ferry. A
party Of negroes were seiuing, and
when they haulded their nets ashore
they discovered terrible looking
fish with arms and legs of tremend.
ous length.
IT WAS TEN FEET IN LENGTH
and the two tore limbs, or arms, con-
tanned prongs which resembled fingers
while the other limbs were very much
in the shape of horse legs. When
the negroes reached the bank and
discovered what they had captured,
they fled in terror. One OF the ne
grces was little slow, and came very
near losing his lite. The monster
gripped him around the leg with his
fingers and he yelled terribly to COM
panions for assistance. One of them
who escaped, approached to within ten
feet of his unfortunate companion
and threw au ak at the monster. 1t
was thrown with terrible force,
the blade striking the fish on
the head, which caused it to relax its
bold on the negro, who escaped. The
fish appeared to be in pain, and its
struggles we're terrible. 1t tangled
itself up in the seine, and finally
ROLLED INTO THE RIVER,
sending forth a fearful shrek of agony
as it disappeared in the water.
The negroes was frightened out OF
their wits, and were unable to give an
accurate description OF the monster.
They state that the bank where they
drug him out Is considerably torn up.
tits hardly probable that the negroes
will seine any more near Daniels fer

Judge as a club to club somebody
that the editor and representative has
not been able to club in any other
way.
The Inquirer cares nothing about
local political quarrels among the
Democrats of Columbia county, but it
feels that it is performing a public
duty in pointing out the short-sighted
policy of trying to besmirch the bench
in orcer to serve personal and politi-
cal purposes. This catering to igno-
rance, these efforts to arouse the
prejudices and opposition of the igno-
rant and these attempts to compel the
leaders of society to defer to the igno-
rant are an extremely dangerous pas
time. Suspicion and readiness to be-
lieve evil belongs to the lower intelli-
gence and are encouraged by the vanity
of the ignorant in desiring to appear as
knowing as anybody. For men to ex-
cite such suspicious for their own sell
fish ends, while common enough in
our politics, is unworthy of any per
son who has patriotism enough to care
for the future of his country.

Constitutional Convention.

Hon. George A. jerks, Of Brookville
has expressed to friend his obiec-
ton to constitutional convention. 81
hope" he said, "that there won't be a
half dozen votes in the state in favor of
a convention. 1t is an unfortunate
time to have one with SO many crank
notions in the air. tbs wrong to en-
deavor to change the constitution in
that way. We have a good constitution
one of the best in existence and if
there is need of improving it in any
particular it can be done by amend
ment. The constitution should not
be torn to pieces or a new one made
as might be done if convention is
held. A constitution should be a
growth improved and altered only as
it becomes necessary. We shouldn't
throw away the experience and
interpretations OF seventeen years,
but amend with view to retaining
the best of the decisions of the
courts. Generally speaking a new
constitution should only be made at
the founding or creation of a
State. l think that you will find
that the railroads are all in favor of a
convention. They hope in some way
to get article II so obnoxious to them
and which causes them so much
trouble at each session of the legisla-
ture repealed. The interests that want
special legislature are alsoa anxious for
a convention, and you will nearly al
ways find some ring behind every
demand of that kind"

The Hurrah for Blaine.

When last year Mr.. Blaine succeed
ed in forcing his reciprocity provision
into the Mckinley Bill, and showed
his sagacity by antagonizing the revo
lutionary course of Speaker Reed and
by declining to say word in supper,
of the Force Bill, The World declared
that he had made himself the inevita-
bic candidate of his party for Presi.
dent in 1892.
Mr.. Blaine's was the only conspic-
uous Republican head left above water
in the terrific tidal wave of last No
vember.
Since then the only question has
been whether the health of the real
leader of his party would warrant his
nomination and whether he would &C
cept it. With these conditions salts
factorily met, Mr.. Blaine is as certain
of nomination by acclamation next
year as he was in 1888 had he not de
clined. The active and enthusiastic
support of his nomination in his ma
tive State of Pennsylvania, and the
attitude of his closest friends at home
and in other states, seem to indicate
that the judgment of The Worlds
correspondent who interviewed him
three weeks ago was sound and that
Mr.. Blaine will stand.
The disposition of the Republican
leaders and managers to take up Mr..
Blaine again with the old hurrah,
while no doubt influenced chiefly by
the considerations Of policy which we
have indicated, is obviously due in
part to the unmagnetic character-to
put it mildly-of President Harrison's
administration of public and party af.
fairs.
While Mr.. Blaine would be a for
midable candidate We believe that the
Democrats could, if wise in their
choice of a ticket, defeat him more
decisively than they did in 1884,

OUR CHIEF POLITICAL EVIL.

We take the following from the
Philadelphia Inquirer of Wednes
day, August 1o, in reference to the at
tack recently made upon Judge keller:
Editor Krickbaum, of the Blooms.
burg Democratic Sentinel, who was
elected by the Democrats of Colum-
bia county to the last Legislature,
prints an injudicious article in a re-
cent number of his paper concerning
Judge Ikeler, the Democratic presi
dent judge Of the Columbia and Mon
tour judicial district. The gist of
Editor Kricktaum's article is that
Judge 1keler has ma1e good Judge,
but that Editor Krickbaum will not be
satisfied until the judge ceases to have
anything to do with certain men in the
Democratic party whom the Sentinel
calls political bosses.
The Sentinel is not very explicit in
its statement of its grievance. 1t says
that the judge has the courage to do
what he believes to be right, and it
has noticed with pride and admira-
ton, the way he has discharged the
duties of his Office in behalf of the op-
pressed in opposition to persons high
in authority, but then the Sentinel
goes on to say that it has also blushed
with shame when he did some public
duty at the beck or nod of tyrannical
boss. This vague charge against
Judge Ikeler appears to us to be self
contradictory.
When Judge Ikeler was a very
young lawyer, as is not uncommon
with young lawyers, he made num-
Der of stump speeches in a campaign
or two, but when he discovered that
some of the small fry politicians of the
county were endeavoring to use his
good name and standing with the com
munity for their own purposes he with
drew from politics altogether, and
gave his whole time to the practice of
his profession. in which he was en-
gagged when nominated and elected to
the bench a few years ago. There
was more politics in the campaign
than there ought to have been and
good deal of that personal slander
which is the chief disgrace of Ameri-
can politics and which will not come
to an end until the American people
come to understand its true value and
cease to pay any attention to it.
Judge lkeler, however, was not re-
sponsible for this mud singing, which,
IS especially disgraceful in a judicial
and he was too well-known
to the people Of the district for them
to pay much attention to it.
The Sentinel comedies that his iu-
dicial duties have been performed
with ability and impartiality, and the
animus of the article is probably'a a de-
sire to injure through the press over
the shoulders of the Judge some other
persons whom Representative Krick-
baum has had some political contest
with and got worsted in it. When
newspaper editor warns a Judge that
he must "shun these political lepers as
he would shun the devil" the inference
Is that he himself wishes to use the
