THE Methodist AdUocate, published al
Benton, Scott county, edited by Rev.
Edward Grove, thus comes back at the
Nescsboy's screed against Mr.. Grove,
Mr.. Kendall, ..the Chinaman," and
..Arkansaw BOb:"
The meanest man on earth sees
naught but meanness. sit takes a
thief to catch thief" Often the dirt
and rottenness we suppose we see on
others is but the reflection of our own
life. That dirty foul-mouthedc urmud-
geon, who edits the foul sheet that
pokes its dirty venom at every man in
the Methodist church who is at all ag-
gressive in the fight against dirt and
devil, is without character for either
decency or honesty in this county. Do
as we do, don't notice him. A decent
man gains nothing in a contest with a
churl. Beside, it is but harmless
explosion of natural gas that has &C
cumulated too fast to be left off by de-
grees.

The title to this story is the name of
a man who used to reside in Posey
county, Indiana. Odd and all as the
name, 1t was not as odd as the man.
He was above the medium height. slim,
and bent like a rainbow. His hair was
generally allowed to hang down almost
to his shoulders, his nose was hooked,
like the beak of q bird of prey, and his
thin lips usually pressed the stem of a
short pipe. His face had dark, sallow
complexion.
'.Old Jim Grow, !" as he was Familiarity
known, was fine mechanic and a wood
carver; in fact, there were few things
he could not do in the line of mechan-
les. He was an inveterate smoker, yet
he promised necessarily to abandon the
habit. 81 intend to quit smoking. -
said he. .'as soon as smoke up this
package of tobacco-and few more, -
which, of course, ELECTED laugh from
the bystanders. s.Oh, mean it, " said
he, 81 said two years ago, that 1 in
tend to do it.
The writer saw beautiful piece of
wood carving made by him. 1t repre-
sented a grape vine upon which there
was fine bunch OF grapes several leaves
and tender shoot which a worm had
cut almost in two SO that it hung by the
bark. The worm stood erect upon the
wounded vine, and the whole thing was
as beautiful and almost as natural as
nature itself.
But not withstanding his fine mechan-
ical powers, he had a hobby, upon which
he threw away over twenty years OF
his life. That hobby was perpetual
motion. He built all manner of fine
machines, none of which would run.
His mind was ever upon his pet hobby,
and when walking upon the street, he
might be seen to stop, stand for few
moments in deep meditation, and then
slowly resume his walk; or perhaps, il
the new idea seemed feasible he would
turn and hasten toward home to give
his new born idea trial. He read
every thing on the subject, and could
talk for hours describing different mod
els that had been tried by different
men and at different times.
But his labors brought no reward,
except the knowledge that perpetual
motion is delusicn and q snare. No
such principle exists, hence, it cannot
be discovered. If the genius of jim
Grow had been bent in another direc-
ton, he might have lived in afiuence,
and had world wide reputation. AS
it is, if he is still alive, he will die
simply as s.Old Jim Crow"

In only two of the six new pocket
States did Harrison receive majority
of the votes cast. True, all but Idaho
and South Dakota gave their Electoral
votes to Harrison, but Montana is like
ly to send Democratic United States
Senator, Wyoming has Democratic
Governor, and it is doubtful whether
the Republicans will elect one straight
Republican to the Senate from any OF
these States.
Only in South Dakota and Wyoming
did the Republicans cast a majority OF
the popular vote for President, and in
Wyoming the Democrats elected their
State ticket. In Montana, while the
Republicans have 1900 plurality,
Weaver received over 1000 votes, and
in Washington, where Harrison had
some 5000 plurality, Weaver received
over $4,000 votes.
In short, of the whole six new peck
ct States admitted by the Republicans
in obedience to political necessity, not
one of them is now reliably Republi-
can, and most of them are to-day array
ed in hostility to the political power
that created them.
1t was the admission of the emanci-
pated blacks to suffrage from political
necessity, thus largely increasing Elec-
toral vote of the South, that enabled
the Democrats to elect their first Presi-
dent since the war, and it is now more
than probable that the six new pocket
States in the West will soon be next
to solid against the Republican policy
of protection in both the Senate and
Electoral College. Does it pay?-Phil-
adelphia Times.

The Pocket State Investment.

During the first Congress of the Har-
rison administration the Republican
leaders decided that it was necessary
to create half dozen new pocket States
to assure their power in the Senate and
help to elect their candidate for Presi-
dent in 1892. The result of this policy
was the admission of six new States,
all of which elected Republican Gov
errors and United States Senators; but
they voted as follows at the late cleo
tim.

Exhibits Which Can't Be

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Information
has reached the Treasury Department
from the Appraiser of Merchandise at the
port of Chicago that the transportation
companies have failed to take away
rapidly the portion of merchandise at the
Worlds Fair, intended for expectation,
consequently there are now at least 90 900
packages lying in the buildings which can
not be removed bs December 81. The Col
lector accordingly asked that time be ex-
tended for holding the buildings as the
constructive bonded warehouses, and the
expectation officials have agreed to pro-
vide suitable police supervision for the Gus
toms interests during the period in which
the customs control shall be maintained
1n consideration of these facts the
Treasury Department has instructed the
Collector to continue in control of the
goods referred to until further instruc-
tions are given him. 1t is said this condi-
ton Of things is the result of bad faith on
the par. of the railroad companies, which
promised to return the goods to the sea-
board free il the railroad charges were
paid one way. Now that the fair is over
they are Indifferent to the matter and are
using their own convenience and giving
other freight the preference.

up man at noon to-day and the same
gang entered saloon and by display of
pistols compelled the bartender to serve
them with drinks. They mad with them a
