A TEST OF ENDURANCE:,,

What is this test of endurance"
which the most exalted deliberative
body in the world admits is its only
method of bringing to a final vote any
measure before 1t in whose defeat a
small minority is deeply concerned? 1t
means that the majority shall decide
that the sittings of the senate shall be
continuous until the minority have
reached state Of physical exhaustion.
The minority is bound to keep some
member on the floor all the time en-
gagged in talk. No matter what he may
say, whether relevant or not, so he talk.
They can form reliefs, and when nature
refuses 10 support the effort of one any
longer, another takes it up and goes on
until his strength fails him. Their me m
bers need not be constantly in the
chamber, save as they may be dragged
from the couches of the retiring rooms
to make quorum.
But the majority must see to it that
they have at all times, night and day,
quorum in the chamber ready to vote
when capacity to talk fails the minority.
A few only can snatch moments of re-
pose; only the number in excess of a
quorum. Then when days and nights
of talk have utterly exhausted the
minority, and they have no one strong
enough to take the floor to talk. then the
majority can call for and get a vote on
the main question.
Between this and the other forceful
process of taking the majority by the
throat and choking it into submission;
between it and smuggling match, there
is only difference in degree, and none
at all in kind. But what sorry spec
tacle it is. How pitiabe confession of
incapacity to govern it is. Reason pow
erless; the capacity of the brute to en-
dure supreme. When the end comes it
will not be triumph of reason, but
triumph of precisely the nature of that
which Corbett achieved over Sullivan.
The spectacle nantes the cheek of
every patriotic American with blush
of shame

ANCIENT HISTORY,
William Pitt Murray Taken to
Task by Judge FIandrau.

William Pitt Murray Taken to
Task by Judge FIandrau.
l had occasion few days since, in an
address made to the state bar associa-
tion,to assert that am the oldest practi-
TONER at the bar of the state in duration
of service, unless Hon. Morton S. Will
kinson or Hon. William Pitt Murray
would say they were in actual pracIice,
in which case l, of course, yielded pref.
erence to them. MIR. Murray answered
me in the GLOBE; and, while not claim
ing that he was entitled to the SEMI
GRITTY himself, he awards it to Hon.
Henry n. Setter, OF Taylor's Falls, and
severely criticises my historical knowl-
edge and accuracy, asserting that l &C
quire most of it at the Minnesota club,
and am so credulous as not TO be par
ticular about the sources of my infor-
nation. Now, if there is one thing
above another that an old settler will
not rest quietly under, it is an imputa-
ton of this kind. You may destroy his
estate, stop his grog, or inflict any other
equally terrible disaster upon him, and
he won't Whimper; but he draws his
lines at the truthfulneSs of his old
time variations. Knowing l was right,
and that Mr.. Murray was in error, |
wrote to Mr.. Setter for the facts, and
am informed by him that he was not
admitted to practice at the bar until
1858, five years after my advent in the
territory aud year or two after had
graduated at the bar and been elected
to the bench. So much for the accuracy
of Mr.. Murray'S historical knowledge
on this point. But his unreliabllity
does not stop here. In his letter he
states that Mr.. Setter came to the ter
ritory in 1S47. Mir. Setter in his letter
to me says: 81 came to what is now
Minnesota in 1643-not 1S47, as Brother
Murray has it. This is an invasion of
my rights as an old settler, and L insist
on that correction"
Try again, Mr.. William Pitt Muir
ray" and please, on the next occasion
when you constitute yourself the critic
of old settlers, tell us where you get
your historical knowledge. With re-
newed confidence,

JOSIAH'S BEDTIME.
The Dear Old Man Gave Himself

The Dear Old Man Gave Himself
a Temperance Lecture.
Such headaches as Uncle Josiah had
And such doctors! Their efforts left
the patient worse instead of better. At
last, however, young doctor gave Aunt
Polly prescription which. he said, was
sure to help, If not cure, says the
Youths Companion.
Uncle Josiah was strict temperance
man. Not drop of ardent spirits, as a
beverage, had passed his lips. He was
a man firm of principle-strong and I'M
yielding where his well trained con-
science was concerned. The Doctors
prescription was eggnOg. Aunt Polly
was to prepare and administer it to
Uncle Josiah at his bedtime, when sleep
would follow and the headache diSap-
pear.
Very grateful the remedy proved, pre-
pared under Aunt POliy's skillful hand.
She was generous to fault, and per-
hapS mixed thimbleful more than the
prescribed portion of whisky in the
nightly draught.
AS the headache was very real fact,
Uncle Josiah's conscience did not for
bid him TO give the remedy fair trial.
His usual time for retiring was 10
O'Clock. When he was in bed Aunt
Polly carried to him the fragrant
steaming cup.
One night, about two weeks after he
began taking the nightly stimulant,
Uucle Josiah grew restless at about a
quarter to 10 o'clock, and said:
Polly, l feel pretty tired; think FL
go up now and be ready for my
medicine and Sleep"
well, Josiah, it's only quarter of
10; but you do look tired, and l will
prepare it now"
The next week, one rainy night as
the clock struck 9, Uncle Josiah left his
old armchair, bright fire and his
cheerful wife. He was ''quite tired out
and would have his nog now.'
what makes you so tired tonight,
Josiah?"
day, suppose, Polly" and he drained
his nightly remedy and went of to
sleep.
One week later Uncle Josiah's bed
time came at quarter to 9 o'clock! he
went up stairs, but just before Aun.
Polly was ready for him he called down:
"PollyY'
"Well, Josiah"
Don't bring up that stuff Pm
coming down."
Coming down! thought you were
ready for bed!n
80 l was. Polly. but Pm coming
down to be with you till 10 O'Clock. andI
shall never take another cup of nog!'
he came down, fully dressed, and
added:
Polly, do you know why have been
going to bed from quarter to an hour
earlier every night? 1t was for the
purpose of getting glass of eggnog,
and find the habit is growing on me.
III stand the headache and leave run
alone"

MAJESTY OF LAW IN TEXAS.

He Was Altogether Too Busy to
Serve dis Sentence.
ST. Louis Republic.
In the county seat OF little Texas
frontier town an illiterate old catteman
was brought up before the grand Jury
for COW stealing. The old man had
been stealing cows all his life, and
looked upon this arrest as joke, think
ing that his money and his influence
would be able to pull him through.
Consequently he sat through the trial
with a look of sublime unconcern on
his face. cutting off chew after chew of
tobacco, and whiting a bit of pine
with his old Barlow knife. The evil
dence, however, seems to have been con-
cluSive,for the jury retired and speedily
returned, bringing in verdict of guilty,
and the Judge assessed term OF five
years III the penitentiary.
"Whut's that?" exclaimed the old
rascal, jumping, up and splitting his
quid out. "Whut's that. gentlemen?
Five years in the penitentiary? Me?
Five years in yer burned ole jail that
'uZ built fer boss thieves an niggers?
Why, jedge," turning to the bench,
you'll have to fix this thing upl [

to do with my mavericks? How does it
know anything about my brand or my
yearlin's? Durn yer law! Fix it up,
jedGe. You see how Pm sitiated.'
The judge was an ''old-timer," too.
He had dealt in mavericks before he
took to the law.
you're mighty awkard placed.
Boser," he said. damned awkard!
Let's see-hoW can l accommodate
you?" He scratched his head and
thought awhile. Here's what you kin
do" ne went on. go an tend to yo'
round-ups an let me know as soon as
yo' git 'em laid by, them FL lnforce
yo' fine"
Thank yo' 'jedge, thank yo'. That's
far an squar an neIghborly." answered
the condemned. Il reckon / kin wind
things uD in about three months am I'll
come roun' an let yo' know"
''Cote's adjourned!" called the Judge,
and he and BoseI went around the
corner and took drink together.

BY the Fate of Those Who Had

1t was in far Western village of about
500 people, and the postmaster was so

came in that felt it my duty to give
him few words of praise, says cor
respondent of the New Orleans Plea
yune.
IL hev to do it-hev to do it," he whis-
pered in reply. Come to the door

Exactly, sir. Mebby you noticed old
Bill Wheeler. He's never got letter
in his life, and probably never Will; but
when he asks for mail l go over the
whole grist, and do it mighty careful,
too. If jest said. 'NuthIn' for you,
Bill he'd out with gun and blaze
away. Did ye take notice of that one
eyed Teller. Jim Hastings? OF course I
know thar amt no letter fur him, but L
have to run 'em over and inquire about
his health and keep him gO0d-natured.
lie shot the first postmaster here. Pr'aps
you observed the little old woman with
a bundle under her arm-John Duw-
sons wife? Her husband shot the Sec
ond postmaster because he wouldn't
open the office Sunday afternoon"
And what was the third one shot
for?'
Got too heightened. Uncle Tom
Wallace tried to get him out of bed at
midnight to see if there was a letter tor
him, but he bucked. Uncle Tom kinder
hated to shoot, but felt that he orter DO
1t fur an example,"
And don't you get up nights?"
Il don't hev to. l leave the mail
out here in a basket, keep a light
burnin' and the door open, and If any
one wants to paw the grist over he's at
liberty to do it. It's the same on Sun
days, and L guess the folks are pretty
we'll satisfied with the way things is
running. LeastWise l hain't been shot
