How Ee overoame the Difaculty.

Some time ago. says the Washington Post, a
story went the rounds of the press anent Justice
Lamar, and how he sbsently knotted an UNI
brells cover around his neck to go to an even
ing party, instead Of a necktie. The whilom
silver-tongued orator Of the Senate and now
hard-working and efficient incumbent of the
supreme bench, is absent minded enough for
almost anything. For years he has suffered
untold Affections from constantly mislaylng his
eyeglasses and-wel, his suspend.rs Not long
ago, however, he met friend, and, with beam
Ing face and kindling eye con6ded to him the
fact that his troubles were at an end.
How did you manage iti" was the inquiry
oh had pair of eyeglasses sewed onto
every ono OF my vests, and pair of suspenders
to every pair Of trousers"
Another story, which is believed to be authen-
tic, even though it comes from the capitol end
OF the avenue, relates 70 the judges attempted
innovation in supreme court costume. In cold
weather he girds his judicial form with q cardi-
gan Jacket. which effectually excludes the va
grant breezes that stray through the ample
folds OF the regulation silk gown. Not long
ago. as the story runs, being deep in Thought as
usual. ne started from bis house with the cardi-
gan put on over his pdjdSldS, which in the YER
nacular means night shirt. Accounted as he
was, like the late ]. Caesar, he was about to
plunge into the muddy Tlber of supreme court
litigation when "boile1" garnent of conven-
uonal design, but posJ-haste from home, over
took him on the threshold of the robing room
IL the story isn't true it at least does credit to
the invention of the capitollne improvisatores
and press gallery troubadours

jay Gould and Jury Duty.

Jay Gould has been brought TO the atten-
I tion Of the pub ic twice recently in connec-
ton with matters which have no relation to
/ Wall sirest or his railroad properties. The
! first was the refusal Of Gov Northen Of
this state to attend reception in his honor
in Atlanta. and the other was his failure to
respond in court on Monday where he had
been summoned to appear as jury man.
Mr.. Gould evidently dees not like TO per-
form jury duty. 1t is stated that during
his twenty years residence In New York
city he has never served on a jury. Not
many months ago he was fined 90 for fail
ing to respond as juror, and lie will be
fined again, doubt ess, for a similar failure.
The judge of the court in whica he failed
to appear on Monday was inclined to think
that MIR. Gould did not intend to obey the
summons of the court. If it should be
shown, said the judge, that Mr.. Gould was
not prevented from appearing in court by
circumstances over which he had no con-
troll. be would be in contempt Of court, and
would be liable to pretty severe punish
ment
If Mr. Gould should be sent to Jail for
contempt Of court New York would have a
genuine sensation. And it would not be sur
prising if some one of the judges should deem
it his duty to deal severely with him. The
refusal of such man as Mr.. Gould to do
jury duty without sufficient cause is well
calculated to create discontent among the
masses. There are plenty of men who are
ready to say that il Mr.. Gould eau treat
the process of the courts with contempt
they also can do so. And others will say
that the millionaires can do as they please.
but that the poor must obey the laws.
As a good citizen Mr.. Gould should serve
as juryman whenever summoned for that
purpose. 1t would certal1ly be better in
the long run for him to do So 1t is to his
interest to pursue a course calculated to
alley rather than to arouse discontent
The morning news., 1891-03-06

According to an article in the New York
Press Mr.. Gould was not well pleased with
his trip through the south. In the article
he is quoted as follows: You know like
to travel quietly. go for business or for
pleasure, and to tell the truth got neither
on the southern trip. When go for bust
ness l want to sit where can watch the
tracks. l can tell pretty nearly as we'll as
any railroad expert what is the condition Of
a roadbed. When go for pleasure want
to have it In my own way, without inter
ference. l have never been on trip before
where it was a sort of hippodrome exhlbi-
ton, and | the chief exhibit. Itwas recep-
tions, dinners, bauquets. sightseeing trips,
or someth ing of that kind all the time
They gave me no chance for business at all
They took me up on Missionary Ridge and
down in the valleys. aud got such a cold
that | wanted to come home, and just did
come home" Mr.. Gould seemed to be pretty
well satisfied with himself and with what he
saw in Savannah. He didn't do any talk
ing, it is true, and it is a question whether
he did any talking on his return to New
York. 1t is pretty safe to assert that he
didn't say what the New York FreSS makes
him say.

Ihe Alliance senators.

Senator Kyle, of South Dakota, and Sen
ator PETER, of Kansas, will net bury back
to their homes. They will remain in Wash
ington awhile in order to get acquainted
with the members of the administration
and learn the ropes about the departments.
They propose. 1t seems, to look after the
wants of their constituents in the matter of
department business pretty carefully. They
are both very much surprised men. Neither
ever expected to reach the position of
United States senator. And it may be that
both will make excellent senators. though,
perhaps, they will never be more famous
than they are at present
Senator PETER will sit on the republican
side of the Senate chamber, and, it is prob
able, will act with the republicans in all
matters upon which the republicans and
democrats divide. Before he reached
Washington he talked as if he had no
further use for the Republican party, but
he seems to have changed his mind The
willy Senator Plumb, of Kansas, has great
deal Of influence with him. Unless there
should be a third party in 1892 lie can be
counted on to vote with the republicans
throughout his term.
Senator Kyle leans toward the democrats.
He favors tariff for revenue only, and has
a profound admiration for Mr.. Cleveland.
He is not very well posted in political mat
ters, but he is bright young man and il
will not be long before he will be very well
qualified to discharge the duties of his
position.
A year ago if any one had predicted that
the farmers alliance would have her sena-
tors in the fifty-second congress he would
not have been regarded as much Of q
prophet. And if the alliance continues to
grow there may be more alliaucemen in the
Senate in the very near future Senator
IrDy, of South Carolina, is spoken of as an
allianceman, but he is an out and-out demo-
crat. He owes his election to the farmers
association-not the alliance, and he will
act with the Democratic party in all party
questions.

Shortage in accounts has come to be a
contagious disorder among state treasurers
Of late But there is something rather
extraordinary about the shortage of the
ex-treasurer Of Delaware. Securities valued
at $3.50, $50 and supposed to be deposited in
safe deposit vault are missing and are said
to have been missing through several ad-
ministrations Yet that doesn't sound
reasonable. Unless the bank can show
receipt for them it is responsible Such a
receipt would show to whom they were de-
livered and who is accountable for them.
They could not vanish in any mysterious
way without leaving trace. All the trou-
bic rs attributable 60 the pernicious practice
all too prevalent among state treasurers of
loaning the public funds for their own per-
sonal profit When settling time comes
they cannot always realize. But in this case
the sureties are amply able to make good
any deficiency.
