Giles Jackson, q colored lawyer, whose
oratory has often filled the creVices OF the
Police Court, was a dlscoDsolate individual
The other day. Frequently the attorneys
who plead the causes of sinful humanity
in this tribunal, upon deposit with them
of q small sum, go security Tor
their clients in cases which are con-
tinued or sent on to the grand
Jury, and the chocolate-tinted orator from
Brook avenue was not an exception TO
the class in this respect. Several days
ago he was employed TO defend little
negro who was up on some trivial charge,
and the examination was postponed. The
pickaninny was about TO be turned over
TO the tender care of City-Sergeant Epps,
when Giles, in the goodness OF his
heart, applied for bail IN the
cause of his client, and he was released
on bail in the SUN OF 600. with the col
| ored lawyer as bondsman. Three days
later, when the case was heard, GILES APP
reared in court punctually and looked
around for his client. He was not
there. The proceedings were begun, and
still the miniature sinner had not ar
rived. Giles's face grew slick and
| his head bald, and he started out
of the court like November cy-
clone TO look for the urchin whom be
colored orator returned to the courtroom.
| Preparation was dripping down upon his
| fawn-colored Overcoat. yet withal there was
a gleeful expression upon his sable coun-
tenance. The little negro, who had almost
deluded him. was being pushed rapidly
along by the lawyer. and as the two stood
IN front of the Justice Sergeant Thomas
called out the name of CHESS client. The
Brook avenue orator. forgetting where he
was, turned 10 the prisoner, and IN stento-
rian tones cried: "You little scapegrace
you; you came near costing me hundred
dollars
Honest flirts are things l have always
liked. In sixty-year acquaintance with
men and women / have seen very few, and
one of these has risen out of the depths Of
the SEQ of humanity IN the last few DAYS.
IL was in the shape OF gaily- bedecked
youth who was calling upon a very
stylish and pretty blonde OF her home
m the central part of the city. He was
paving loves tribute TO his fair-haired
queen, and heavenly expression lighted
his face. He was rejected however, the
young lady stating that she was already
| engaged. The fellow was conscientious
fiirt and did not desire TO leave any false
| impression upon tho girls mind. so he
told her to send in her younger sister. !.

GAVE A GRAND PorLATcH.
The Singular Method ~ Siwash Indian

Speaking with prominent Gamer a
few days ago representative of the
Westminster d. CD Columbian in
quired how the Indians We're faring this
year in the salmon fishing. and whether
they would he rich enough to indulge in
the potlaich. They won't have much
money To throw away in that direc-
lion this season" replied the Gamer.
Last year great many Siwashes made
good wages. and potlatches We're all the
rage for some time afterward. They
are curious people. and it is astonish-
ing the delight tney take in appearing
liberal and wealthy in the eyes of their

drew the whole of this in II lump sum
and laid il out in eight musEetS. IA dozen
boxes of crackers and the balance
about 81 .2U1-in blankets. Then the
noble red man called all the Indians
within reach together and announced
his intention of giving Il grand potlatch.
The blankets were spread ont in a
2-acre field, with the crackers on the
outside for his friends to lunch on and
the muskejs in the center When the
appointed time arrives To begin the
ceremonies the Indian waded through
the sea of blankets To where the mus
kets lay. Here he climbed on Il box and
began long Grafton which lasted over
an hour. mt the end of which time he
picked mp the blankets one by one and
smashed them over the box, signifyiny
that all cnmitv between the tribes
present was forever ended and rifles
would no longer he needed. Then he
gave the signal that the potla;ch had
commenced and the Indian women sailed
in and packed away not only one pair of
blankets. bnt as many as they could
carry. and III a few minutes there was
not even Il single blanket left for the
use of the generous contributor. This

The rr.sidcn, Of III. Argentine.

The constitution of the Argentine Re-
public is in its principal features identi-
cal with that of the United States. Never
thelcss there are some differences worthy
OF note. The president is elected in pre-
cisely the same manner rs in the United
States. but cannot be reelected, and his
term of Office is six years. He has
more power than the president of the
United States. as far rs making appoint
ments is concerned. since he only asks
the advice and consent of the senate to
appoint diplomatic ministers. judges
and officers of the army and navy above
the rank of colonel.
He fills all other offices mt his own dis
erection. but all his DEGREES. proclama-
ton, etc, must he countersisned by
cabinet minister or else are valucless.
Thus the constitution makes the cabinet
ministers responsible for all the acts Of
the president.
The members of the cabinet can an
swer questions and take part in the de-
bates of the house and the senate. al
though they are not members of either
body. nor docs an adverse vote on any
measure of the government carry with
1t Il changc III the cabinet. rs is the case
in France and England and is becoming
the custom in Chilli.
The powers Of the Argentine congress
are similar 10 those vested in the CON
gress of the United States. though some
what greater. The congress has tho
power To lesislatc for all the provinces,
debating codes to he applied in all Of
them, thus securing uniformity of legis-
latiun. The provinces reserve the right
To elect their own judges, as well as the
other officials that their local constitu-
ton demands. All federal and provin-
cial judges are appointed for life. and

WASHINGTON PosT: In their ef-
forts to close the Worlds Fair on
Sundays, the good people who are so
careful OF other peoples morals seem
to have temporarily forgotten their
own. They have been working the
various States with petitions, and
getting signatures with zeal that is
literally appalling. The Michigan
petition has just reached the Chicago
managers, and upon examination is
found to represent 5000 more peo-
pie than the last census discovered in
the State. The inference is that the
propaganda, so far as Michigan is
concerned, at least, includes not only
the grown folks, but the babies, the
yellow dogs, the wolves, and the cat
fish. There is no other way to ac-
count for the size of that petition.
A similar growth is indicated in
ONO, ana perhaps IN other States
But the feature of real interest is the
astonishing disclosure of ardor on the
part of persons who constitute them
selves guardians of their neighbors
consciences. 1t suggests grea,
many ideas which we can not fully
catalogue in the limited space at the
disposal of daily newspaper. l,
occurs to us to inquire, however
whether it be worse in morals to look
at an industrial exhibit on Sunday
than to ooncoct and utter fslsehoods
during the week?

Mckinley Will Celebrate.


The most extensive tin plate plant
in the country will go into operation
next week at Ellwood, Ind. The.
owners, who are represented to have
abundant capital, expect to turn out
$500 boxes Of tin plate per week,
and eventually the establishment will
give employment to 500 tin plate
makers. The opening of the factory
is to be made the occasion of pub
lie demonstrat ion, in which Governor
Mckinley and others will participate.
1t is interesting to note in this con-
nection that dispatch from Swansea,
Wales, states that owing to the de-
preston of the British tin plate trade
the proprietors of number OF the
largest factories in Wales intend to
erect factories in America. Undoubt-
eddy as soon as the WEIGH manufac-
turers become satisfied that the tariff
on tin plate will remain many of them
will erect plants in this country or in
vest in those already erected, and
there is reason to believe that large
part of this business in Wales will be
transferred to this country in the next
Ave years il the tariff is not disturbed
In that event it is absolutely certain
that we would have cheaper tin plate
than ever before. The outlook i.
now favorable for steady growth Of
this industry, and republican success
next November will undoubtedly give
it very great impetus.
