Congressman John NJ Allen, OF Misss-
sippi, tells of An amusing affair of honor in
which he acted as second.
There was bad feeling between two
young lawyers in Mississippi, and it was
decided that only blood could wipe out the
enmity which existed A challenge was
sent and duly acknowledged The hour
was appointed, and the two men met in a
secluded spot. One of them was great
sufferer from St Vitus' dance, the other
was cool and collected. AS they faced each
other the afflicted man began to tremble
from head to foot, while his pistol de
scribed an arc with varying up and down
strokes. His opponent stood firm as a rock
waiting for the signal to fire. Before it
came, however he laid his pistol on the
ground, walked into the woods and cut a
limb of a tree with fork in the end of it.
This he brought back and stuck in the
ground in front of his antagonist. Then
turning to the second he said, II must re-
quest you to ask your principal to rest his
pistol in that fork"
"What for2" asked his opponents sec

lection to running the risk of one shot, but

make a honeycomb of me- II that man

way it is now he would fill me full Of holes
at his first shot"
This was too much for the seconds, and
by mutual agreement truce was patched
up and no shots were exchanged. Wash

The ruin of the missions was completed
by the American conquest. The few re-
naming Indians were speedily driven OF
enticed away, for the rough frontiersmen
who came over the plains knew nothing of
missionary friars or civilized Indians; they
came here to squat on public land and re
spected no possession beyond 160 acres, and
that only in the hands of one familiar with
the English language and modern weap-
ons. None Of the establishments retain
its original character.
Where population has grown up around
the site. as at Santa Clara, San Francisco
and San Rafael, they became parish
churches. At other places squatters took
possession OF them, extruding priest and
mayor-domo impartially, and in more than
one case even the churches were sacrile-
giously degraded to the use of stables and
the like. In others many parts of the
buildings were demolished for the sake of
the timber, tiles and other building mate
rial they afforded.-John I. Doyle in Cent

Chicago Post: The man who goes into
a newspaper Office after correction" is
almost certain to get the worst of it, es-
pecially II he has fire in his eye. This was
the case with the district attorney at
Merrill, Wis, who made a call upon the
editor OF the Advocate, of that place. The
editor was In. He had written an article
charging the officer of Justice with being
a "masher,' and the district attorney de-
sired to file an objection.
NOW, instead OF tiptoeing into the edi-
torial sanctum, hat In hand, and quietly
remons rating with the molder of public
opinion for Merrill and vicinity. he bang
ed the door open, tore in wildly, and
started to slug the mild-eyed man OF
news.
But the editor was in, and he rose up
and smote the intruder hip and thigh,
after which he cast him out and returned
to his editorial on the tariff. The "cor-
rectlon, so TO speak, was on the other
foot.

THE GOVERNOR'S VET0ES

Governor Laughton writes under
date, Olympia, Wash, March Is, b.
the editor Of the Seattle Post-Intel-
ligencer as follows:
Do you not think it would be more be-
coming your dignity a. an educator Of the
people 10 analyze and refute, If you can do
so, the arguments used by me In my vetn
message OF the WATSON bill, which bill
was prepared aud fathered by Senator

man county, than to attack my fcalty o.
the Republican party upon purely per
sonal grounds without any reference to
the merits or dement's Of the bill or the
veto?
In the same issue Of the P.-I. Gov
ernor Laughton's official veto messages
are printed, in which are set forth his
reasons for Withholding his approval
Of the bills under consideration. Pre-
yiously, however, ana without having
either printed the Acting Governors
messages, or without setting forth
any other argument than simple carp
ing and growing, the P-L proceeded
to berate the Acting Governor.

The HERALD has no ambition 10 be
a court Of last resort, nor is il fond Of
fault-finding, but it is sticklcr for
plain, unstrained Justice, and il dep
recates the methods Of such news
papers as never lose sight Of wha!
they consider an opportunity to do a
little political wire-pulling for a ia

At the outset the HERALD desires
to remark that its candidate for gov
ernOr at the next election will be the
gentleman who is nominated for that
position by the Republican state con-
vention, and so far as its opinion goes,
either in circulation or argument, il
will champion that candidate with as
much earnestness, zeal and fidelity as
the Post-lntelligencer or any other
newspaper may, but just at this juno
ture 10 desires TO get in word or so
edgewise concerning this hue and cry
of the P.-I. crowd against Governor
EaughtOn.
-
The P.-I. doubtless has a candidate
for governor. 1t feels, with what war
rant, we are not prepared to say
that Hon. Charles T.. Laughton has an

knows that Governor Laughton, by
the wise and satisfactory manner in
which he has performed the functions
Of the high office to which he has been
temporarily called, and by the capable
manner with which he has discharged
the Office to which he was elected by
large majority Of the people, that he
would be formidable obstacle in the
way of him for whom the P-I. has
its overweaning ambition. The P.-I

Governor Laughton has given in his
veto messages strong constitutional
and practical reasons for his decisions
therein, and while there may be many
who will differ with him, as TO his
conclusions in the premises, there
must be very large element that will
thoroughly agree with him. In any
event no reasonable individual eX-
poets infallibility in any man, nor
does Governor Laughton claim it.

lowers, mankind does not even concede

has i'm every minute particular and
detail done exactly that which will
produce the greatest good for the
greatest number in these vetoes. but
1t believes that he is largely right in
the matter and it believes that he was

tious manner in the premises. and
that he has acted in a manner he

With regard 10 what is known as
THE Anti-Pinkerton Bill" the Gov
ernor declares it to be, in his opinion.
unconstitutional and cites plain and
palpable constitutional reasons. with
numerous quota tions from the state
constitution to warrant and uphold
his position, and in this message he
concludes with words that exhibit the
fact that patriotism and the rights of
citizenship inspire him in what he
thinks and says on the subject. The
message concludes as follows:
1t would seem that the intont of the
legislature was to enact a valid law for
the purpose Of enforcing the constitu-
tional provision contained in the latter
part OF section %, article /, of the consti-
tuition. In doing so, however, they have
neglected TO prescribe proper limitations
Tor the purpose OF guaranteeing such con-
sttutional rights, and have attached to
the bill clause for the conhScation OF
property without due process OF law"
which is mauifestly unconstitutional.
For the foregoing reasons | am Obliged.
therefore. DpOn the ground OF unconstitu-
tonalitY, to withhold my approval of the
bill, which, II IL becomes law. would, i'm
my opinion, work a great hardship upon

/ With regard to House Bill No. 1856,
which is ian act to require railroad
companies TO construct and maintain
connections from one railroad TO an
other, and to provide penalties for a
failure TO comply Herewith" The
governor in his message gives, among
other good and substantial reasons for
his veto, the following:
While the objects of the bill in some
respects are cOmmendable relative to re-
quiring crossings to be made at places de-
mauded by the public, yet experience has
shown that law sweeping In generali-
ties, and without specifically providing
Tor details, requiring such crossings,
whether demanded by the public or not,
is hardly Of such a nature as to commend
itself TO my mind. But under proper reg
ulati0ns, upon application by parties in
terested, and through inspection by Off
GERS appointed for that purpose TO deter
mine whether or not the requirements of
the public are such as TO make necessary
such connections, the interests of all
parties could be protected, and no violence
or injury would result
The act does not specify in case of con-
nectiOns between different roads begin
ming or terminating at or near one an
other which company shall bear the
expense OF making the necessary connec-
lions. IL might be that in many Instances
to make such connection in the heart of a
city would require an enormous outlay of
money, and whether this expense is to be-
borne jointly by the two roads thus con
nected, or all by one road, cannot be de.
termined from this bill.
