Tho Government Should he Cautious
About Rendering Assistance.
BALTIMORE, March 10. - The Manu-
factureN Record this week publishes
letters from IS governors replying to the
question whether national aid should be
given to secure the construction of the
Nicaragua canal. Considerable diver
gence of opinion is shown, but the ma
jority believe that the Importance OF the
canal and the necessity of its being con-
trolled by Americans justify national
assistance, provided this can be given in
such n way as not to enrich individuals
at the expense of the country.
On this point, Governor Waite of Colo
RADIO says: This government furnished
the money to build and equip the Pacific
railways. Congress was bribed to ex-
change our first mortgage liens for sec
ond lien. The thieves who accomplished
this sleight- of-hand all became million
aires. The country Is swindled. 1t is
proposed to play the same old game with
the Nicaragua canal. Not any in mine,
II you please"

Extinction of AlligatOrs,

Alligators are the next animals to be
in danger of compete determination
at the hands of reckless and merciless
hunters. There has been a great de-
mand for alligator skin, which for some
purposes is unsurpassed, ,andwith decent
killing of the creatures the supply of
this useful leather might be kept up
indefinitely. That their extinction is
close at hard when we learn that over
10000 have been killed in Florida
since 1880, and that 900 was at one time
q fair week g work. AS it is with the
alligators, buffalo and seals, so it is
with many species of southern birds
which have been so relentlessly slaugh-
tered for their plumage that within a
few years they will become absolutely
extinct.

The Gift of Speech.

Too many lawyers, judges and minis
ters are so fond of the sound of their
voices, that they talk ION and on, ="
after they have really said all they
know upon the subject of discourse
Long speeches, long prayers. inter
minable, involved, thinspun charges to
juries-all these are usually mere nui-
sances, that wear out patience and do
harm rather than good. The late Tom
Ccrwin was one of the most effective
advocates of his day, and he seldom
talked to a jury longer than an hour;
two hours was very long speech for
him. The late Chief Justice Waite was
noted for two things in his court hol Sc
work-brief speeches and the winning
of cases. He hardly ever argued a
case more than forty minutes but he
took care to get every important fact
that made for his side before the jury S
mind, most distinctly, sharply, simply.
His discourses were models of sim.
plicity and strength, and his supreme
court opinions are like his speeches, in
this respect
The orator who can make a long
speech and have it do his cause or his
reputation any good, is rare man,
very rare. Brevity is no less the soul
of logic than it is the soul of wit. Sim
plicity is the very essence of real ora
tory, and floridity is always blemish
upon book. Who that does not turn
with feeling of relief from the SON
orous and artificial periods of Gibbon,
to the crisp, snappy sentences of Ma
caulay?
Our advice to all young men who as
pire to be pleasing and useful orators
is to say what they have to say, in the
fewest and simplest words, and stops.
Webster's magnificent closing argu
ment in the case of the pople against
Crowninshield, is model for young
lawyers to study. At least 80 per cent.
of all the verbage of this spendid
speech, is pure Saxon. There is not u
Greek or Latin derivative in it where a
Saxon monosyllable could be made to
do duty. The great expounder's reply
to Hayne is a model of political oratory
as well as a specimen of logic that is
both impregnable and beautiful,
And neither of these speeches occu-
pied as much space, or required as
much time for their delivery, as would
suffice for a petifoger on a case of petty
larceny or assault and battery.
The makers of long speeches and the
writer's of long articles are back num-
bers, and have been since true oiatory
was known, and the art of condensation
was learned by writers whose space is
limited and subjects for treatment
numerous From Chattanooga Times.

Columbia River Navigation.

The few steamboatmeh on the upper
Columbia River in eastern Washington
and Others acquainted with the stream,
express grave doubts of it ever becom-
ing safe and certain highway, though
enthusiastic residents of that region
count much ON its utilization as a
means of transportation for the devel
opment of the country. The principal
trouble is in its erratic changes of
course, its rise and fall, aid its shifting
banks. The boats of the one company
navigating the river between Wenat-
chez and The Okanogan River are con-
stantly meeting with mishaps, owing
to the difficulties of navigation. Three
were laid up in one week recently.

him telling her name and exclaiming,
'Mr. Talbot, l am from Maryland, l

ernment position. >
Madam" replied Mr.. Talbot, "in
what part of Maryland do you reside2"
She then gave her address in Balti-

ing, You are fortunate, madam. The
Constitution of the United States pro-
vides that each Congressman shall
give either mother or daughter an Office
when the mother is 40 and the daugh-
ter is 81 years old, and that each dis
trict is entitled to such position. All
the members OF the Maryland delega-
tion have filled the places allotted to
them under the provision with the ex.
ception of Col. McLane, in whose dis.
trict you reside. He has not availed
himself of this constitutional privilege.
Col. McLane would be delighted to
meet you and give you or your daugh-
ter place"
Mr.. Talbot then returned to the
chamber and the same card went to
Representative McLane. The old gen.
tleman was absent about ten minutes.
When he returned he walked up to Mr.
Talbot and said, Fred Talbot, you
sent that woman to me, and you know
there is no constitutional provision
giving places to mother and daughter
whose ages aggregate 60. The worst
of it is that she insisted that | was de-
celving her when | assured her that
she was mistaken. She replied that
Mr.. Talbot was too nice man to lie. "
Then Col. McLane sat down and
laughed heartily. While Minister to
France he frequently told the story
with great gusto.

For the Herald and Tribune.
Hon. A. II. Wilson.

GREENEvILLE, TENN, Feb 12, 1894.
The canvass for Congressman Judges,
etc., is waxing warm and highly in.
teresting here just now. The candi
dacy of Hon. A. b. Wilson for Chan
cellor, has been spoken of for many
months, but until quite recently it was
not known certainly that he would
consent to make contest.
Mr.. Wilson is possessed of all the
elements that make up a popular can
didate for the Republican nomination
for this exalted place. He was an U.-
ion Soldier who served his country
faithfully and honorably from the date
of his enlistment till the close of the
late rebellion. He is a lawyer of un.
questioned ability and of q natural
conservative and judicial ten permanent.
He has had very extensive and sue
cessful practice in the Chancery Courts
in this and adjoining counties for over
20 years.
He is gentleman of pure and un-
impeachable character and sterling
integrity.
He served his county in the Forty
Second General Assembly of the State
and there won the deserved honor of a
wise and discreet legislator.
Indeed, Mr.. Wilson, from his very
habit of life, is peculiarly well fitted
for the place he seeks.
The county of Greene is the most
popular and wealthy and gives a greater
Republican vote than any in this chan
cery division also it is fact that this
county has never up to date had Il
chancellor.
Therefore she will expect, as she
presents in Mr.. Wilson candidate OF
whose comnetency there can be no
kind of question, that his claims will
be recognized, especially by such
counties as have been in the past SO
long represented on the bench of this
district and circuit. FAIR PLAY.
