Clan system of Government.

The clan system of government was in
its way an ideally perfect onc-proba bly,
the only perfect one that has ever existed.
Perhaps it was the very thoroughness of
its adaptation to the early needs that made
it 30 hard to adjust to new necessities. In
its principles and motives it was essen
tially opposed to the bent of modern innu-
enceS. Its appeal was to sentiment rather
than to law or even reason. 1t was sys
tenn not of tho letter, but Of tho spirit.
The clansman was not the subiect-a
term implying some sort of conqucst-but
the kinsman of his chief. The chief had no
title to indicate "a distant superiority. l"
He was simply the Macleod or MacPher-
son or Macshimci. But while the clans.
man cherished keen sense of indcpcnd
ence, and expected to be treated by his
chief with friendly familiarity, the cold
and degrading equality typiiicd in the Pa
rsan citizenship-child and parent of
revolutions-would have had for him no
charm.
1t was his peculiar pride To claim the
relationship to superior, and in itself the
very thought of kinship was thus ilspir
ing and cnnobling. Obedience became
rather n privilege than task, and no pos
slblc bribery or menace could shake his
fidelity. Toward the sasscnach, or the
members of clans ut feud with him, he
might act meanly, treacherously and cru
ely without check and without compunc-
ton, for there he recognized no moral obi
CATION whatever
But rs Il clansman to his clan he was
courteous, truthful, virtuous, benevolent,
with notions of honor as punctiious rs
those of tho ancient knight. Not only was
the standard of public morality u high
one, but it was impossible to evado or de-
fy it. Most clans had Il certain mum Der
OF hclots-descendants of captives-but
pauper or criminal class there was none,
for the crimes of the clansman were COM
mitted only against his enemies, and it
was by stealing from them he relieved the
stress of poverty.
No code of laws-after all, it may be
symptom of decay and no proof of adj
vance i'll the art of government-stoodb be-
tween him and the personality of his chief,
and tho chiefs kindness, with the chiefs
justice and wisdom, bcgot far warmer
esteem for law and order than the most
admirable set of rules could ever have in
spired.-Scottish American.

1t is interesting to observe that in arti-

scarcely gone beyond the earliest Biblical

gone out Of fashion. No jewcler could be

My journalistic friend on The Beacon
tells this story:
A dignified and elderly spinster who
sits at an editorial desk in town was
asked by the manager of her paper tho
other day If she knew Of any poor but
deserving person who would like pair
of his discarded trousers and replied
that her furnace man would doubtless
hail them with joy. Accordingly a
morning or two later she found on her
desk brown paper labeled plainly,
"Old trousers for Miss W--'s furnace
man At night she carried the parcel
home i'll her hands, together with an
other smaller package.
Sitting in the trolley car between a
couple of gentlemen, she noticed that
ono of them seemed to be much amused
about something in her lap.
What was her horror and disgust, on
looking down, to observe that she had
partly covered the larger parcel with tho
smaller, concealing the last part of the
inscription, So that it read in bold black
script, "Old trousers for Miss W."

The Typical American.

The typical Americans have all been
western men, with tho exception, let us
say, OF Washington. Washington had
not had much of European culture. The
qualities that made him great COM
mander and great president were
qualities which would have made him
an equally great frontiersman. You
cannot imagine Hamilton or Madison
or Livingston or John Adams or the
Pinckneys living tolerably OH tho from
tier. They arc not Americans in the
sense in which Clay and jackson and
Lincoln arc Americans. We may wish
that the typical Americans of the past
had had moro knowledge, more cult
waited appreciation of the value of what
was old and established, juster view
OF foreign nations and foreign politics;
that they had been more like Webster
and less like Jackson, and we may hope
that tho typical American of the future
will be wiser and better poised But in
tho meantime tho past is to be under
stood and estimated as the facts stand.
and only a thoroughly sympathetic COM
prchension of these men, who have actu-
ally been the typical Americans, will
enable us to effect that purpose. The
fact thato Clay rather than Webster,
Jackson and not John Quincy Adams,
represented tho forces which were really
predominant and distinctively Amer
lean i'll our development is commentary
enough OH any theory that makes either
of the peculiar sections of the Atlantic
seaboard the principal or only theater
of American history.

BOYS WE'RE THE THIEVES.

And Clerk of the Market Coleman Soon
Hunted Them Down.
A very bold robbery was perpetrated
at the market yesterday morning, in
which Mrs Matilda Childress, an aged
lady from Franklin county, was the
victim. Mrs. Childress was on the
square with wagon load of provisions
when about 10 o'clock two boys, one
white and one colored, appeared at the
wagon. The lady turned to wait on
customer and when she looked up her
pocketbook containing about SIS, which
was in front OF her, was gone.
Mrs. Childress tainted when she dis
covered her loss, and then on recover
ing reported the matter to Market
Clerk K. Il. Coleman, who ascertained
the white boy to be Gus Mills. Mr..
Coleman found Gus at his homo and
brought him before Mrs Childress, who
recognized him as one OF the boys. Gus
confessed, and showed where no had
buried $50 of the money under tho
porch Of his house.
He also described the negro boy, who
proved TO be Jesse Terry. who was ar
rested by Deputy G erik Greenwood on
railroad avenue. He had just pur-
chased now coat and vest, and silk
pocket handkerchief with his share of
the spoils Gus claims that the negro
snatched the ocketbook, and divided
the money with him on the Randolph
street bridge
