If the Government has sent
a representative to Johnson

preceded several years not

the Island and reported the
fact to the State Department.
This was so long ago as to be
forgotten when the commander

Billings was a travelling man, carry

woman on one of his trips, and before
he realized how i'll it comported with
his duties he had married her.
Nature had never intended him for a
married man, and he was seldom at

permitted him. Finally he became ir

letter would reach him at Peru, Ind So
she wrote him there. asking for $40. He
was in the Bearss House billiard room
when he read the letter. He had no $40

But the request annoyed him. He got
up, walked about the room for a mo-
ment. and his eyes at length rested on a
deck of cards, lying where some man
had completed game of solitaire The
top card on each pile was nine spot
Billings looked at them a moment,
then picked up the four cards, inclosed
them in an envelope and sent it to his
wife, At Charlottesville he received an
other letter from her. demanding in in
dignant terms what he meant by sending
her four mines. He sat down in the writ

Negro Superstitions.

Among the superstitions of southern
negroes are those which make it most
unfavorable thing to see a black cat
crossing ones path, or to turn back
without making cross" in the street,
road or path. The belief in witches
is perhaps more general than any other,
and an ex-congressmant tells of case in
this section within the past 80 years in
which a witch was killed in a very
strange fashion. A negro called on a
witch doctor. very old woman, and
was told that the cause of the trouble
was a witch and that she must be kill
ed; that the only way possible to thus
put her out of the way was to go into
the woods and cut the figure of per-
son on the bark of big pine tree, mark
a cross on the body and shoot this with
a silver bullet, the cross representing
the witch's heart. The shooting was
duly done in the presence of quite a
number of persons. This occurred in
the northern part of this county. Ce-
dar balls are carried in the pockets as
a protection against witches. The ne
gro belief in these is certainly fully
matched by that of white men who car
ry in their pockets buckeyes and Irish
potatoes, or who wear thick iron rings
on their fingers as preventive of rheu-
matism.-Cor. Washington Star.

For a weary while the political
methods of the Democrats of New
Jersey have been characterized by the
most shamefr' disregard of justice, law
or the rights of the people. To such an
extent had this fragrant abuse of power
been carried in various odious legislation
that last fall the people arose and in the
election of a Legislature buried the
Democrats under an avalanche of votes.
But the greatest outrage of all was at
tempted last week when the new Legis-
lature convened. There were nine hold
over Democratic Senators to eleven Re-
publican Senators elected last fall.
From the fact of holding over the Dem
ocratic Senators concocted the claim of
a right to organize the new Senate in
spite of the fact that they were in a
minority. And they did organize and
received the sanction of Governor Werts.
The Republicans have appealed to the
courts for protection in their rights, but
if the courts are as corrupt as the execu-
tive branch of the State government
there is poor show for justice. The facts
show the desperate character of the New
Jersey Democrats and to what outrage
Gus methods they will resort to retain
their grip on the State. But a better
time is coming. The decent people of
the State will finally triumph if not in
this instance.

HELP FOR THF ENEMY.

New York Press.
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, preparing to
leave the country in the very crisis of
the struggle to preserve the protective
policy which made him rich, loaded his
gun to the muzzle and handed it over to
men who are endevering to assassinate
the protective system and the Republic
an party. For a good while Mr.. Car
negie has been regarded by the Repub-
licans of the country with sentiments
far removed from enthusiastic approba-
ton. When, as an American manu-
facturer, he assumes to speak for Amer
lean industry and for the men who con-
duct it, he is public character whose
performance may with freedom be criti-
cised.
1t is safe assertion that no one man
in the United States contributed so
much to the political revolution of 1892,
which has inflicted incalcUlable loss
upon this nation, as Andrew Carnegie
Whether his acts at Homestead in the
summer of 1892 were defensible or indie
fensible does not now matter. The fact
is, that because he permitted in the hot
test part of hotly contested campaign,
fierce dispute about wages which
aroused deep feeling among working
men and hard feeling against manu-.
factpreIs, he promoted in decided
manner the success of the enemies of
the protective system.
The help thus given to the free traders
might have been attributed to lack of
foresight or of careful consideration.
but no such plea can be made in behalf
of his extraordinary proposition, offered
to the public just as the Wilson bill
came before Congress for the surrender
of the protective principal. Mr.. Car
negie would have the Republicans
accept the Wilson bill, with some amend
ments, because then, when the Repub-
licans shall return to power, the Dem.
ocrats will not assail their own act and
the tariff will remain "lixed." Perma-
nence for tariff legislation is much to
be desired, but not permannece for bad
tariff legislation. The Wilson bill is
thoroughly vicious from Acids to Zinc.

discrimination against American labor,

A Matter of Business.

"Mr. Bong" said the secretary of
the Fearful Accident Insurance compa-
ny, "be sure and drop in at old Cur
mudge's as You pass this morning and
express your sympathy over the loss of
his brother in the railroad accident yes
terday. Express mine also to him. "
But old Curmudge had no brother
in the accident. said the canvasser.
"What has that to do with it?' said
the secretary cheerily. "All he can do
is to tell you so. :"
But it might unnecessarily alarm
him." persisted the canvasser.
That's the point; that's exactly the
point, returned the secretary cheerily.
Alarm him as much as possible. His
own policy runs out next month, and it

irons that in the midst of life we are

Thread of Thought.
It might be conjectured perhaps that
Scott's and ByTon's genius was favored
by the circumstances of their birth.
that the wild scenes in which Scott's
infancy was passed, and the local leg
ends with which his head was filled de-
iermined him to ballad writing, and
that the ballad writing led naturally in
its turn to romance, and that the high
station and undisciplined liberty of
Byron's childhood fostered that passion
ate self will and brooding imagination
which showed themselves in his fierce,
scornful and moody verse. This, we
say, might perhaps be conjectured with
some probability. and the like might be
said of Wordsworth's infancy.
But how shall we maintain that the
conditions of Keats cockney birth in a
livery stable or his education in dis
secting room favored the growth of that
most delicate and rich type or almost
Hellenic clearness and beauty of imag-
ination? And how shall we maintain
that Dickens menial task in the cork
ing of backing bottles fostered the
growth of that wonderful humor and
that microscopic accuracy of vision
which filled the world with laughter
and with inimitable caricature such as
no comedy, not even Moliere's, had an

Again, who would have ventured to
predict that wild, despotic. Irish evan

would have been the father of children

thing of the origin of genius, that ORR

William Pitt, or James Mill succeeding
in celebrating a specimen more perfect
than himself of thinker of his own
type, in the studious, diligent, diffuse,
lucid and rather dreary logician and
economist who left his mark on the
English philosophy of the third quarter
of this century. Nor do we ever find in
rare instances of this sort the higher
kinds of original genius. Pitt and John
Stuart Mill were considerable triumphs
of training for purpose, but that pur-
pose was very limited cne and had
none of the largeness and freshness of

SPEAKER CRISP if quoted as saying
''the next House will unquestionably be
Republican" Whether the Speaker did
make this remark really has no effect on
the truth of the proposition. If he did
not speak it he has undoubtedly thought
it, as have many distinguished Demo-
Gratis who have been openly pointing out
the blunders of their party and protest
ing against further insane fooling with
the business interest of the country.
From narrow partisan point of view
Republicans cor d not wish the Democ-
racy to pursue a course different from
their present one, but, on higher
grounds, Republicans are patriots and
are surrounded by the same business
conditions as Democrats, and no mere
party success would compensate for the
depression we are now enduring. Re-
publicans are just as anxious TO see
business revive as Democrats, and would
much rather see the Democracy make
success in their administration of the
government than the dismal failure to
which we have been treated for the last
few months.

IN every class of society you will find
toadies, men who will resort to flattery
and dissimulation to carry their points.
They will stoop to conquer, they will
crook their pregnant knees where
thrift may follow fawning." 1t is a
common observation and remark that
many men who have no visible occupa
tion or business engagement, yet seem
to get in favor and encouragement by
getting in the graces of men of means
and generous impulses. They will i'm
pose upon their best friends and gain a
subsistence which they are loath to earn
or deserve. They have no honesty In
their principles, no:.sincerity in their
hearts. Such men are bane to society,
and waste their lives in uselessness, and
give no attention to the culture or i'm
provement of their minds, but hang on
to whatever they can get hold of to keep
them up and going.

PREsI DENT CLEVELAND, so press dis
patches say, has expressed himself as
sorry that he took the action he did in
reference to Hawaii. He now recog-
nizes that his efforts to cast reflections
on the administration of his predecessor
have reacted on himself. He is sorry
that Minister Willis demanded of the
Provisional Government the restoration
of the Queen on the 'ound that Grover
the Great wished it. The basis of his
sorrow is likely the fact that the Pro-
visional Government had discovered
that it was only Clevelaud's wish for
them to abdicate, and that he is not
supported in his position by the people
of the United States. The whole pro-
ceeding of this administration. in refer
ence to Hawaii, is shamefr' and has
brought upon the President and his
advisors the ridicr'e of the country.

SOME of the members of the Legisla-
ture are said to be working against the
biennial session proposition because they
have lofty aspirations. The people care
little about the personal aspirations of
any of the members, but they do want
biennial sessions, and in these parts, at
least, if we mistake not the temper of
the people, it will not be conducive to
the consummation of any members
aspirations to vote against biennial
sessions. The Republican party pledged
itself to this reform and the honor of
the party is at stake. If our represen-
tatives go back on those pledges they
can depend upon it that tleir day of
political usefulness is past.
DURING President Harrison's Admin
istration many millions of the national

tion, instead of decreasing our debt, an
issue of S20O,00O,00O of bonds has been
asked for by Secretary Carlisle to get
the government out of the hole. We
have not had war nor any other calamity
which would increase our national debt,
but in time of peace and with no un-
usual drain on the treasury, the Demo
Gratis have shown themselves incapable
of running the government without
creating a deficit.
