How il Originated.

The New York Sun says "The
much quoted phrase, The eyes Of
Delaware are upon you,' originated
with George W. Karsner, once pros
porous peach grower in New Castle
county, Del. Karsner, an ardent Re-
publican, was called as witness in
the impeachment trial Of Andrew
johnson, and he was so impressed with
his opportunity that he assured the as
sembled senator's in dead earnest that
the eyes Of Delaware were upon them.
Karsner rather enjoyed the notoriety
which the phrase attained, and had
- enough 'humor to- realize that

disappointed when you don't come"

ie, carelessly, "another time will do"
Uncle Frank was reading his paper
in the back parlor, while this little
talk was going on out in the hall;

looked very grave. A halfhour later
he went out of the door with overcoat

fellow as Uncle Frank, and as he
walked down to the stables, shaking
his head. you might have heard him
mutter to himself, "It's great pity,
but they've got the lesson to learn"
At "free" O'clock, by the fastest
time in the house, the two children
were booted, and gl0ved and capped
and waiting by the pump; never
mind the cold that made their noses
red; never mind the snow that wet
their curls, wouldn't they have a jol-
ly time when the gray horse with
two rows of bells came around the
corner?
But the gray horse didn't come;
many belled sleigh passed, many a
fur-capped boy and girl looked out at
Katie and Buster, but no uncle
Frank made his appearance. Sor-
rowfully the disappointed children
went home, and about five O'Clock
Uncle Frank came in, in fine glow
of good humOr. "WeIl, Pve had a
fine ride" he cried, 81 took the two
little Millers with me-"

take us?" exclaimed Katie, bursting
into tears, "you promised"
"Eh? o yes, bother, so l did, but il

Franks eyes twinkled, Kate knew
that he was thinking of her speech

The New Kansas Senator.

Topeka, KAs., Jan. 27.-William
Alfred PETER, who becomes Senator
in the seat of John James ingalls,, was
born in Cumberland County, Pa,
Sept, 10, 1881. He was master of a
small school between the ages of 10
and 10 years, after which he went to
California to dig gold. He amassed
considerable money in two years and
became farmer near Ora wfordsville,
Ind. Joining the Eighty-third Illi-
nOis Volunteers in 1868, he served till
the close of the war, having been
Quartermaster, Adjutant ,and Judge
Advocate, devoting the latter end of
his service to law. He began the
practice of law in GAINESVILLE, Tenn,
after the surrender, and remained
there fifteen years, removing to Will,
son County, Kansas, and establishing
claim. Two years later he became
editor of the Fredonia Journal, and
afterwards of the Coffeyville Journal.
In 1874 he took Republican seat in
the State Senate and was delegate
to the National Convention in 1880.
Since then he has been editor of the
Kansas Farmer at Topeka, He be-
longs to the Alliance, and since join
ing it has made a bitter fight against
ingalls,, lasting over a year. In per-
soLal appearance he is far from pre-
possessing and is inclined to be mar
row and dogmatical in his political
views.
Judge PETER outlined his policy as
Senator to an Associated Press re-
porter as follows: He said he favored
the absolute unlimited coinage of sill
yer and conservative expansion O
the currency along other lines. He
was in favor he said, of protection t.
home industries, but believed thai
the best protection did not always re,
suit from high tariff. Protection by
tariff, as a general principle, he said
was wrong. The high tariff should

The People Are Not Calling for 1t.

Tullahoma Guardian.
We notice that another effort is be-
ing made to iduce the legislature to
enact a railroad commission bill.
We have heard of no special demand
by the people for any such measure,
and from what we can learn the COM
mission is proposed at the instance Of
a street railroad monopoly. 1t seems
to us that the legislature might afford
to drop all railroad agitation for the
present. The people are not in hu>
NOR Tor any such foolishness. There
are too many important and needful
matters to engage their attention for
them to be spending time on meas
ures not especially demanded by the
public welfare.
If the Nashville Electric Street
Railroad Company has any grievan>
ces to settle with other railroads, let
it settle them in its own way. The
courts are open to it and it is big
enough to do its own fighting. 1t
ought not to call on the legislature to
do thing for it which could be done
by the courts if its claim was such as
a court of justice would entertain.
The general laws of the state are or
ought to be such as would protect the
people and at the same time deal
