A gentleman travelling in Texas,
met on the road a wagon drawn by four
oxen, driven by cOuntryman, who in
addition to the skillful flourish and
crack of his whip, was vociferously
encouraging his horned horses after
this fashion.
"Haw, Presbyterian Gee Baptistw
"Whoa, Episcopalian ~ "Get up
Methodist p The traveller stopped the
driver, remarking to him that he had
strange names for his oxen, and that
he would like to know why he thus
called them. Said the driver 81
call this OK Presbyterian because he
is true blue an never falls, pulls
through difficulties, and holds out to
the end; besides, he knows more than
all the rest. l call this OK Baptist be-
cause he is always after water, and
seems as though he'd never drink
enough; then again he wont eat with
the others. l call this OK EpiscOpalian
because he has mighty way Of hold
ing his head up, and if the yoke gets
little too tight he tries to kick and
draw clear out the track. call this
OK Methodist, because he puffs and
blows, and bellows as he goes along,
and you'd think he was pulling all
creation, but he don't pull pound
unless you continually stir him up"

as an assessment, and that the poll
taxes, like property taxes, must be
assessed before they can be collected,
and it follows necessarily, as a logical
consequence, that there can be no
derelection until after an assessment
of the poll tax, and consequently that
the nou-payment of an unassessed poll
tax does not disqualify an otherwise
duly qualified elector from voting.
The conclusion results in making
the assessment rolls the basis Of action
for the election commissioners which
furnishes simple method Of proceed
ure, and avoids the confusion that
would follow an inquiry, outside the
assessment as made, In respect to
property and polls not on the lists.
l have perhaps written at greater
length than was necessary, but have
given my own views very fully out of
respect to your expression of a differ
ent impression of the question.

Captured His Mothcr.ln.Lav.

An amusing incident happened at
LOganspOrt, Ind, the other day.
Charles Marvin has for some years
been devoted to Miss Ida Rich. Her
parents opposed the match, and finally
the young people determined to get
married anyway, and did so. The next
day they presented themselves at the
Rich mansion to plead forpardon, but
the implacable father locked his
daughter into the cellar and drove
Marvin away with gun. Marvin
stayed up all night connecting a plan
for the rescue of his wife, and in the
morning sent word to his mother-in-
law to come and get her daughters
effects, as he relinquished all claim to
her. She came, and Marvin locked
her up in his house, saying that she
should be set at liberty when his wife
was, and not before. Two days passed,
and then old man Rich appeared to
open negotiations. An exchange Of
prisoners was soon effected, and
Marvin got his wife. 1t is said that
Marvin made such good use Of the
opportunity, while he held his moth
er-in-law captive, that he effected a
complete conquest of her, and she Is
now trying to persuade her husband
to accept his upwelcome son-in-law
with open arms.

NUMBER 36.
Campaign Figures.

The Democratic campaign commits
tee has issued statement showing
how the republicans made away with
the enormous surplus turned over to
them by the Democrats in 1889. The
statement shows that at the close of
Mr.. Cleveland's first administration
there was left a surplus in the treasury
of 1880, ,343, 9l6.12. This sum was not
named in the statement Of 1889, for
the reason that the Democrats did
not include the gold reserve, the SUBJ
sidiary coin and other funds.
The republicans after squandering
in three years s47, ,997, ,8O7.32 in paying
premiums on bonds and wasting money
in other directions found it necessary
in order to make favorable statement
Of the condition OF the treasury to
revise the method of accounting and
added the gold reserve, subsidiary
coin and other moneys held for the
redemption Of notes to the statement
Of available cash. If the same form
Of statement used by the Democrats
had been retained it would have
shown that there was not dollar of
available cash in the treasury.
In summing up the differences in
the financial management Of the two
administrations the statement shows
that including the gold reserve, the
Democrats turned over to President
Harrison 1880, ,34S,9l6,l2 as available
cash, while four years later the re-
publicans turned over to the Demo.
Gratis but $l62, 493, 92O.7s, having re-
duced the so-called surplus $l67 $780,
72S 81. The panic OF 1893 was, the
statement shows, clearly attributable
to the condition of the treasury and
the effect upon the public credit OF re-
publican extravaganza.

MS LASTP0EK.

DR.. Holmes last poem, read on the
occasion OF the Authors breakfast
February %, 1893, is as follows:
Teacher Of teachers, yours the task,
Nobest that noble minds can ask,
High up Ionia's marmorous mount,
To watch, to guard the sacred fount
That feeds the storm below;
To gnide the hurrying food that fills
A thousand silvery ripping rills,
In ever widening flow.
Rich is the harvest from the fields
That bonnteous nature kindly yields,
But farer growths enrich the soil,
Plowed deep by thoughts and wearied toll,
In learning's broad domain.
And where the leaves, the. flowers, the fruits,
Without your watering at the roots,
To fill each branching plain.
Welcome the authors firmest friends,
Your voice, the surest Gods deeds, lends,
OF you the growing mind demands
The patient care, the guiding hands
Through all the mists Of morn,
You knowing well the futures need. q,
Your president wisdam sows the seed,
| To fire the years unborn.

The PaDer OF TO.Dny,

However much the thinking men or
this age dissent from his religious or
anti-religious sentiments, no one
denies that Robert G. lngersoll is one
OF the brainiest men in the view Of the
people. On all other subjects but one,
the readers Of the newspaper world
admire his broad views, his ringing
words, his eloquent phrases and the
rhythm Of his well turned sentences.
The Chicago Press Club last week
rendered an informal reception to Mr..
IngersOll, in the course OF which he re-
sponded briefly to the greetings OF the
club members. In few words he dis
cusscd the modern newspaper as an in.
sttution, referred to it's marvellous
growth and the remarkable influence
and changes wrought by its agency.
Then he said:
lam aware that many find objection
to the modern newspaper, in the fact
that it is sensational in character ;
that 1t prints the news Of frauds, rob-
berries, murders, forgerles, assaults
and happenings Of crime and vice. l do
not share in this view. On the contrary
! believe the senationalism OF the mod
ern newspaper is a most magnificent
sign Of the times and an evidence Of
substantial progress In the right direc-
tion. Would it not be deplorable
thing if the day should ever come in
this country when good action would
be news?
1t takes the unusual to make news.
Vice and crime figures in the newspa-
pers not because OF the frequency OF
crime and the prevalence Of vice, but
because they are becoming so rare
that they are unusual and therefore
news.
Sensational news is OF the highest
value because it is educational and
monitory. No one cares to read in a
newspaper that John Smith pays his
debts-there is nothing unusual in that;
all of us should do that-but il John
Smith refuses to pay his debts, il he
swindles his creditors and dcfrauds
those with whom he deals, then we
want to know it for our own protection
and the protection Of the public.
And so say the sensationalism OF
the press is c0mmendable. 1t serves a
good purpose. 1t is reformatory. Long
may it continue to scourge the swim.
dies, to expose the frauds, to turn the
sunlight upon crookednes, to uncover
crime.
