The issues between General Far
ley and Senator Irby are purely
personal. The public are only in
terested as it has a keen relish and
unfailing stomach for rare bits of
savory gossip. Gen. Farley's as
sault is odorous of vi~llainous salt
petre, while the Senator's reply is
dignif1ed and his denial backed by
stout evidence. The mild man
nered public will await the "retort
courteous" Of the General. The
ants, long suffering and patiently
bearing the yoke, have nothing to
do or say. 1t is not their quarrel.
Gov. Tillman and friends have the
State and nation in charge and
are responsible. We are not in it.
These illustrious champions can
fight 1t out. Our readers will re-
call the famous Kilkenny encoun-
ter and what was left.

Judge Hudson's Decision.

In a case coming up from the
county Of Darlington Judge Hud-
son pronounced the dispeDsary
law a feeble effort at legislation.
He DEGREES the act unconstitutional.
He sustains his view with an elabo-
rate argument. The decision will
embarass the whiskey trafickers
from the drand Tycoon Dispenser
to the humblest vender of pints at
a $400 stipend. However, Judge
Hudson's view and review of the
does act not settle what Is law,
no more than Governor Tillman's
view settles II. It must go to the
Supreme Court of the State and
possibly to the Supreme Court of
the United States as the constitu-
tion of the United States is in
voked.
Judge Hudson is an able and
fearless Judge. He will do his
duty as he sees it though the
heavens fall; but he is not infalli-
BILE and what the final decision
may be cannot be anticipated. We
a only advise our readers to keep
cool and don't get excited over the
matter. Rome was not built in a
day, and when it was completely
finished up and the last touches Of
the artist put on, the world around
it wagged on. So, however the
end may gang of this matter, the
old State will wind along wiring
in and wiring out as in the glorious
past, that we read about and so
Justify brag of. Let her slide.
One word to Governor Tillman,
our honored chief. We are in the
midst of a torrid wave; we ire
ploughing and digging; praying
for rain; sweating and fighting
the flies and waiting patiently for
laying by time. Retire to Ropers,
your baronial domain In old Age
field and leave to your Attorney
General and the Judges the bust
ness of constituting the acts of your
learned Solons. Go recline under
the outrageous branches of Ro-
per's wide spreading elms; throw
out the tempting sprightly minnow
and decoy the wiley trout from his
cool and limpfd sphere; follow the
example of your immortal demo-
cratic friend, Grover, and 60 a fish
ing; stroll into your verdant mead
ows and welcome home in the
shadows of eve your lowing Jerseys;
enjoy the beautiful picture of inno-
cence in your snowy hocks bleat-
ing their tender notes upon the
distant hills; swing your luxurious
hammock and dream the dreams
of the just. One poor man can't
do everything.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1893-11-10

In consequence OF this understanding,
the next week set ont for England. In
a note to Prudence told her l was go
ing to the land of our ancestors on
mission of great importance to my ia
Their, and one that would be quite as
important to ourselves. AS it was my
fathers business, was not at liberty to
enter into particulars, but she would
probably be able to get an inkling of it
from Rev. Nantucket Sperm or Captain
Shrimp, at whose houses my father Wis.,
tied.
My father gave out that / had gone to
the mother country on business of his
own. He wore a very solemn face when
he said was going on grave" mission.
l was going, as he said, to perform a
solemn duty which had too long been
neglected. duty which his forefathers
had failed to perform owing to various
hindrances, and one which he himself
had too long deferred. Further than this
he declined to explain, except that my
mission involved duty to one long since
dead, a venerated ancestor.
This of course soon found its way into
the mouths of the village gossips, as was
intended. My father being on rather in
innate terms with the ''neutrals," Cap
tain Shrimp and Rev. Nantucket Sperm,
he did not mind telling them thus much
when they put forth some feelers in re-
gard to the occasion of my visit to Eng
land.
