Protect the Trees.

The street railway companies should not
be permitted to cut a single tree along the
streets or in the parks TO accommodate their
wires without the permission Of the city au-
thorities. 1t is the duty Of the committee
on streets and lanes to require the COM
panies to so locate poles for their wires that
the least possible damage will be done to
the trees. On South Broad street the beauty
of several of the trees was married to &C
comodate the wire of the railway on that
street. Care should be taken that the same
thing does not happen on Abercorn and
other streets.
There is no disposition, Of course. on the
part of the street railways to mar the trees,
but the men employed to put up the poles
and wires are apt to do their work without
much regard for the trees.
1t is probable thatin almost every instance
in which a tree is apparently in the way the
cutting of its branches can be avoided by a
judicious placing of the poles.
The trees are the chief feature of the
city's beauty. They have cost the city ii
great deal, and no effort should be spared
to preserve them.

Lost the Sheri

Duke Dumont is one of the bes known among
the rising young men of Hartford. says the
New York Advertiser. He is in New York
about once a month, and is generally loaded
with stock of brand new stories.
"One of the Funniest experiences ever had, "
he said yesterday, was up at Troy few days
ago. For business reasons l had to take a
train that passes Through the place at O'Clock
a. m.
''While walking up and down the platform
waiting for the TAIN l was disturbed by two
men, one of whom was hilariouSy drunk, while
the other was despondently sober.
"'This is no joke, demonstrated the sober
man, I've got to go to work in two hours.
But you can't go without me. Vince
chuckled his companion.
THE couple staggered over to me, and the
sober man explained,
I've went out on lark with a fool deputy
sheriff. he stated WI athfuy. and he thought
it would be fun to haudcuff us together. Well
we didn't care then. But awhile ago we lost the
sheriff somewhere, and can't get loose. A man
up an alley here pounded on the handouts with
a stone and smashed them so that they couldn't
be unlocked with kew. What shall we dor
The other man chuckled gleefully, which
caused the first speaker to co 4tinue:
"'You see be has got very drunk and I've
gradually got sober. He does not care cent if
we never get loose, but do. I've got to go to
work, or will lose my place
And when left the town." concluded Mr. .
Dumont, they were still wandering around

There Is in Harriston, Miss, a negro
named Coleman who occupies a unique
position. According 80 law he is dead, hav-
ing been hanged and pronounced corpse
by attending physicians. According to fact,
he is aliveHnd out Of danger Of death from
the effects Of the hanging. Now the ques-
ton arises, is Coleman amenable to the law
for any crime he may commit hereafters
The law caunot apprehend and prosecute a
dead man, clearly. since death places one
beyond the power of earthly tribunals. Nor
can the law, without stultitying itself,
recognize Coleman as being alive; it has
pronounced him defunct and went so far as
to bury him after accepting the physicians
expert verdict of death by strangulation.
Should Coleman kill a man-he was hanged
for murder-and be brought before the
court he could prove an abb by incontro-
vertible evidence; he could produce the
records OF the court to show that he was
dead aud buried, aud consequently could
not have committed the murder. Could any
court Ego back" on thatl This hanging
may prove a piece Of rare good luck to Cole

Calling Names.

Commenting upon the sensational incident at
the pension Office investigation the other day,
says the Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore sun, e gentleman on visit from the
south remarked: "Onoe there was a man who
called another man a liar. That man-not the
man who called another man a liar, but the man
whom the other man called a lar-pulled out a
pistol and shot the man who applied to him that
rather rough appellation. This happened in
Georgia. The man who shot the other was i'm
medatey arrested and put in Jail. But he re-
NAMED in jail for one night only. History gives
no particulars of the method by which he short
ened his inc arceration. But it is on record that
the governor Immediately issued a proclama-
ton offering a reward of $1,000 for his appre-
henslon. This was a pretty big reward and any

Uneasy once Seekers.

A few weeks ago when the Peoples
! party was making a great deal more noise
| than at present, aud when it was thought
! the entire alliance would support that
! party, the small office holders ard office
seekers in nearly all parts of the state we're
in an exceedingly anxious frame Of mind.
| They did not know whether to stay in the
! Democratic party or move into the camp
of the Peoples party. Quite large num-
Der Of them became satisfied that the Peo-
pies party was going to sweep the state.
and they showed such haste to enroll them
Ia selves in its ranks that they made them
selves the subjects of o good deal of ridi-
Guile
And now they are not sure they did the
right thing Not a few of them have boldly
acknowledged their mistake and are back
in the Democratic party, and others Of them
are on the anxious seat. not knowing what
to do. 1t begins to look as if the bottom
had dropped out OF the Peoples party move-
ment, and they are afraid they have not
only lost their standing in the Democratic
party but have no chance OF getting any
thing through the Peoples party
1t will be remembered, OF course, th at
they deserted the Democratic party at the
time when il looked as if it would have
need for their services, AMI it will invite
them to stand aside while men truer to
dem 0cratic principles receive whatever re-
wards the Democratic party has to dis
tribute. Men who would desert to the
enemy in time OF danger cannot expect to
be preferred to men who were true to their
colors.
The Peoples party still has good deal of
strength in different parts of the state, but
it is losing ground steadily. The more the
farmers study its platform the less inclined
they are to have anything to do with it.
Many Of them were mised by its promises
and were honest in thinking it could do
them great deal of good. They have now
found out their mistake and are anxious to
correct it.
The Democratic party still has control Of
the southern states and will continue to
have. notwithstanding the efforts that are
being made by the Peoples party, assisted
by the Republicaniparty, to destroy it. Its
principles appeal to the best Judgment OF
the people. They are principles that have
been approved by the democracy since the
foundation Of the government and they
will continue to be approved. The demo-
Gratis, therefore. who for the sake of Office
deserted it, will act wisely by getting back
into it just as quickly as they can. By act
ing promptly they may be forgiven and
eventually trusted II they persist in stay
ing out, however, and in acting with the
third party, they need never expect any re-
wards from the democracy. The Demo-
cratic party is going TO give preference to
those who stood by it in time of its trials
and it is right that it should do so.

The milk of human kindness in the Hon.
r. P. BANDS composition has been our
died, it seems, by the failure Of his scheme
for free silver coinage. He has become
pessimist, and predicts that the country and
the Democratic party are going straight to
the dogs because a majority Of the mem.
bers of the House saw fit to shelve his bill.
He has no faith in the Presidents alleged
anxiety to hold an International
monetary conference, and says 1T is
all buncombe. THAT does not fool
anybody; the President does not
want a monetary conference, he simply
wants to tide over the situation until the
next election" said he to a correspondent of
the New York Herald. He may be right,
so far as Benjamin Harrison is concerned.
The Presidents message to the Senate in
response to request for information res
garding any steps that may have been
taken to secure a monetary conference with
the foreign powers indicates desire on his
part to play fast and loose with the silver
people. But the Democratic party is not
on the brink of disaster. neither is the coun-
try. The people will vindicate the party in
November, and the democracy will take
care that the ship of state is not cast on the
rocks.

A Wonderful Crow.

The Scranton man who writes wonderful
stories of animals to the New York Sun has
come forward again with the following sumner
But the best hawk scarer and fighter we ever
had on the farm was a tame crow that we
called Mig. Father had taught the crow to
fight with the ROSTERS, and he had sent to the
city and got pair Of steel gaffs for him. Mig
was always on the alert for hawks, and if he
saw one lowering over the farm buildings he
made for it and knocked it about in the air I'M

of the steel spurs he left them on the crow in the
day time while the chickens and turkeys we're
small While the family was at dinner one day we
heard terrific screaming out in the meadow.
We all rushed out, and there was Mig and a
mammoth hawk in lively conflict. The
crow was jabhing his steel spurs
into the hawks head like a game
cock, and he was making it so hot for the
hawk that it didn't rise three feet from the
stubble before Mig hit it Clip in the head and
downed it again Mig killed the hawk in a short
time, and a few days afterward he drove an
other one into the top of an apple tree and
spurred it to death. At another time Mig tack
led hawk just after it had caught chicken,
and he used his spurs so scientifically that the
hawk quickly tumbled into a fence corner
where Mig punched his head full OF holes and
left it to die. One afternoon a hawk got high
up over the barn with young fowl before Mig
caught sight oft. He sailed after it, and the
hawk gave a scream and made for the peak in
a besline. Mig headed it of and he fought it
in midair till the hawk was so badly blinded by
the spurs that it flew against the barn aud was
killed"

Anent the speech OF Secretary Blaine
before the Senate committee on commerce,
IN the matter Of the landing of French
cables on the shores Of Virginia and South
Carolina. it is believed that Gov. Tillmau,
of South Carolina, has already accorded
the French company permission to land
cables In that state. The application of the
company was presented to the South
Caroline legislature at its last meeting and
favorably acted upon. Speaking from
memory, a gentleman who was in Columbia
at the time says Gov. Tillman received
letter from Secretary Blaine, subsequent to
the extension OF the privilege to the cable
company, in which he held that it was the
right of the federal government and not the
state to grant such concession. Gov. Till
man in reply defended the right of the state
to act in the matter and informed the
secretary that the privilege had already
been granted.
