A Dogs Decision.

A slight variation of the story about the dog

allowed to decide between them, and goes
straight 30 his rightful master putting the thief
to shame, has been recorded by tbs newspapers
of the town OF Pro1estientien, In Hungary, says
the Manchester THeS 1t appears that hard
working knife-gPindsr came to the police Ru-
thorities Of the town and reported that a rag
picker had stolen his dog, aud still had him
The matter was looked iuto aud it was found
that the rag picker had in his possession a
splendid dog OF the variety known as the Great
Dane, of which he could give no satisfactory ac-
count. The case was brought into court and the
judge.deoided that the dog himself should settle
the matter. The two claimants were placed at
each end OF long table. The dog was
led in by baIlif, and held by a string at q
point between the judge ann the table, and ex-
actly half way between the two claimants. The
judge then elapped his hands three timcs, and
the two men began to whistle vigorously to the
dog. At the same instant the bRlliff loosod the
animal. The great Dane looked at the rag
picker, then at the knife grinder; then at one
bound he cleared the table, rushed down an
isle of the court room, and disappeared
through the door to the astonishment of the
court and the spectators. The fact was that
the dog BELONGED to neither of the contestants
but to a gentleman to whose house he went
straight from the court room. He had been
stolen Huccessively by both the knife grinder
and the rag picker.

Our street Railways.

It is admitted that street railways have
I contributed much to Savsnnah's growth
and prosperity. aud that they are impor-
tanE factors Ia her development. That ia
one OF the main reasons why there has been
such liberaIity IN granting them privileges
/ and such willingness to tolerate things con-
/ nscted with them that could be i'm
| proyed. or changed for the better. The
CITY authorities have given them about
everything they have asked for and have
got for the city very little in return.
All of the lines are apparently In pros
perous condition. They are patronlEed
literally and the people, therefore, are emit
titled to all the consideration 1t is in the
power Of the lines to give them.
Some OF the lines are very Indifferent TO
the health and comfort Of their patrons.
Open cars, that afford no protection against
wind. rain or cold, are run at all seasons,
and complaints against such cars are un-
needed.
A very common and q very serious COM
plant that is now frequently made, lie the
speed at which the cars on some OF she
lines are run. There is apparently an
utter disregard Of human life. Many OF
the motormen and conductors are
very young men, who do not seem to IN
derstand that there is constant danger Of
running into vehicles or over persons. They
seem to enjoy running their cars at very
high rate Of speed, which they do not check
at street crossings except to accommodate
passengers. One Of these days terrible
accident will result from this rapid running
Of the cars through the streets, end then
there will coms demand for rigid rsgula-
tions for the electric cars. It would be
much wiser to enforce the regulations before
any accident OCCURS. Naturally the street
Car companies and their patrons prefer
high rate Of speed, because il saves the
companies the expense Of additional cars
and conductors and motormen, and pas
sengers like to get to their destinations az
quickly as possible.
Aud there is not the care with regard TO
the trolley wires there should be. There is
a network OF electric wires Of one kind and
another throughout the city, and they are
a source of constant danger. The falling
Of an electric wire is not unusual. There
ought to be a city inspector Of wires, and
he should be paid by the electric car and
electric light companies. Such an inspector
could not prevent wires from falling some
times, but II he were attentive to his duties
he could do great deal toward preventing
accidents from the wires.
The street car companies are getting
very strong. Before they get to thinking
they are strong enough to do as they please
the city authorities should undertake TO
place them under proper regulations. They
should insist upon closed cars in Indictment
weather, good service, and should insist
upon all proper precautions against Aoci-
dents from che wires.

SIN In q Fighting Mood.

Our dispatches from different parts Of
this state indicate that there are still few
third party men who are in a fighting mood
They admit they were so badly beaten in
the state election that they have no hope Of
carrying more than one congressional dis
t1ict in the November election, but they
| propose to keep up the fight The explAns-
| ton Of their present frame Of mind is found
! in the fact that the county elections take
! place in Few weeks and most OF the third
party men who are 30 aggressive at present
are seeking county offices, or have friends
who are anxious for office. Some of the
county offices are very good positions.
and she desire to obtain them lie doing more
than anything else to keep the
third party from disappearing from the
political arena altogether. A good many
Of those who are leaders In the third party
left the Democratic party, not because they
had any complaint to make against the
Democratic party, but because, believing
all the slliaLoemen were going into the
third party and that consequently that
party In many Of the counties would be the |
strongest, they would stand better chance |
Of getting the offices they wanted. II 1t |
hadn't been for the hope Of getting county !
offices the third party would not have made
any where near as good showing In the |
state election as it did.
These third party ofios-seekers, however,
will suffer very great disappointment.
Try as hard as they may they will not be |
able to arouse much enthusiasm In the ranks |
Of the third party. That party received a
blow at the state election from which it |
will never recover, and will receive another
at the November election that will about |
finish 1t. Thousands Of those who voted |
for Col. Peek are now about satisfied that |
they made = mistake In trying to defeat the
Democratic party. and they have praotl-
cally made up their minds to return TO the
democracy. By the time the county cleo
items take place there will be very little de-
sire among those who were so enthusiastic
for Col. Peek aud Gen. Weaver to make an
effort In behalf of third party candidates
for county Offices. There is very little rea-
eon, therefore, TO give serious confederation
to the talk of third partyites.

Both Sides Were Pleased.

A Portland lawyer relates an anecdote which
illustrates one Of the principal weaknesses of
mankind about as fully as possible says the
Argus of that city. He says that not long ago
man came to his Office thoroughly angry. He
had called upon debtor and asked for the
payment of a little bill of Sc 80 and had been
abused for his pains Now he wanted the law
yer to collect it. But the legal light said that
he could not afford to bother with it 1t would
cost it all to collect it. But the client insisted
he didn't care IL he got none OF the money SO
that the debtor was forced to pay IL. So the
lawyer consented to write a letter and see what
could be done.
The debtor came In response to the letter, in
high dudgeon, ami made declaration that he
owed no 81 50, and he wasn't going to pay il.
The lawyer listened quietly to his story, and
then said that his instructions were to sue and
he didn't think the other could well afford TO
defend for SO small q sum. who'll get ity''
inquired the debtor, 'it pay?" The lawyer
was bound to confess that 1t would all 20 for
the cost Of collecting, and when the debtor
found that his enemy was barred cut from re-
ceivinE aEy OF the money he paid will iugly
The next day the client called, and when he
found that the money had been paid, he, 100
was entirely satisfied, so that the lawyer did
the very unusual thing of pleasing both sides

at the earliest possible moment that they
may be utilized to good purpose. There is
no work they could be made to do which

the Estate more good than the work they
could do on the roads. The solution Of the

Dig strike, so it is reported. They are sore

Inanding more wages by going on strike
next day. AT that time the worlds fair
business will be booming, aud as a very

The Situation in Indiana

FROM the Baltimore Sun Den,A.
The essence Of the situation in Indiana, as as
certained by the Civil Service Chronicle Is this:
The democrats have found large number of
voters who voted for Harrison four years ago
and who will vote against him now. They have
also found large number of voters who decline
to say how they will vote" The campaign is
dead" because so many people won't tell what
they are going to make of the opportunity given
them by the new ballot law to cast a secret
vote. There are some other states like Indiana.

an Unexplained Plank.

Only two more weeks of the campaign re-
main and still the republican press and orators
have failed to explain the real meaning of that
plank in the Minneapolis platform in which it is
said that the tariff duty levied under republican
policy is only such as to compensate for the
difference between wages at home and abroad.
