The Idea Too Simple for Great Mind

A business man who is keen in financial
affairs made an engagement while spend
ing his vacation to meet man at another
country place fifteen or twenty miles
away. says the New York Tribune. There
was only one train a day, and he missed
that one by only a few seconds. 1t was
an important engagement, but that would
have made no difference to the business
man, for he prides himself on keeping his
enga Eements.
When he found that he had missed his
train he set to work to get a special en-
CINE. This involved a good deal of tele-
graphing, and the cost he learned would
be $3.50. He determined to keep that en-
gagemcnt however whatever the expense,
and finally, after the delay of all the tel
egraphing and waiting for the engine to
run up to his station, he got aboard and
was taken on his way. He reached the
other man three hours after he had missed
the train, but he was feeling rather tri-
umphant over his victory, and he pro-
ceeded to explain what he had done.
You see. / was bound to get here" he
added, "and here | am"
That's So answered the other, "but
look here. why didn't you get a team and
drive over hero2 It's a lovely drive. II
would have cost you about 81 instead of
$50 and as for time, you could have ar
rived here earlier
Great Scott" said the Napoleon of
travelling, 81 never thought of that"

Railroad Situation Improving.

The panic of 1898 struck the railroads
of the country a hard blow. and the
year witnessed the passage of an unprec-
edently large number of them into the
hands of receivers. The effect of the de-
preston of last year extended into the
current year. and the record of receiy-
erships for 1894 will also be very large
but considerably below that of d year
ago. The restoration of confidence and
the revival of business has been accom-
panied by a pretty lively movement to-
ward the rehabilitation Of railroad prom
critics. The Railway Age reports that
during the year the work of reorganiz-
ing bankrupt roads by means of fore
closure and purchase for new organiza-
tons has gone on very rapidly During
the last three months fifteen roads
with Sl6 miles of line and over S1SO,OOO. o.
900 of bonds and stock, have passed
through this process, nine of them go
ing toward making up the new Southern
Railway Company, which is founded on
the ruins of the Richmond and Danviue
and East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor-
e'"N o9SNSiiI9' + VI Nllt nine months OF
the year the figures show a total Of
thirty-one roads, aggregating 4.5O3 miles
and representing nearly $257 OOo. 900 OF Sc
curities which have appeared under new
names and ownership. The foreclosure
record Of the entire year 1898 is already
largely exceeded in number of roads
mileage and capitalization by that for
the nine months of 1894 and the total for
the twelve months is likely to surpass
that Of all but two or three years in the
last twenty. The properties are being
put into shape again. and, with careful
management. the succeeding corporations
may have better luck than their prede-
cessors.
During the last three months nine
roads, with 2,265 miles Of lines and rep
resenting bonds and stock to the amount
Of over MOl.50O,oO have gone into the
hands Of receivers. These added TO the
list for the first six months make a
total for the nine months from Jan.
TO oct. / Of thirty-two roads. aggregat-
ing 62li miles in length, with funded
debt of NS5.O7S 500 and capital stock Of

which receivers have been appointed on
account OF default in payment Of inter-
est on their bonds

Mr.. Jones, Cougar story.

J. P. Jones, who lives near Perhama,
Crook county, had a rather startling adj
venture with a cougar about a week ago,
says the Portland Oregonian. Speaking of
his experience to some friends, he said
Last Sunday morning l mounted
horse and went on a hunting expedition
to place about twenty miles from Perha-
ma, taking with me an Irish staghOund
and an English pointer. l brought down
a deer and brown bear which l left at
a farmhouse, and baRged a number of
wild pigeons and other fowl. While re-
turning home about 10 o'clock at night,
along a lonely road about five miles from
Perhama, l noticed what seemed to be
two balls of fire in a tree but a yard ahead
of me and which stood but a foot or two
from the road. At the same instant my
horse, which is what is known in the
COW counties as an original herder,'
drew up with a startled neigh, almost
throwing me from the saddle, l took
close look at the thing in the tree and
saw that it was cougar, crouched for
spring.
NAL sprang, but missed its mark and
passed just over the horses neck and
about two inches from me- 1t rolled in
the road, but recovered and sprang again,
this time a the horse 5 throat. The horse
bucked, and threw me to the ground, half
stunning me. The cougar then rushed up
on me, but the staghound, which had been
standing by baying furiously, corralled
it, There was a brief but terrific fight,
and the dog lay dead not five feet from
me. The pointer had disappeared, while
the horse stood, trembling in every limb.
The panther again sprang at him. land
ing upon his back, and away the horse
went.
Il recovered my feet in a few minutes,
unstrapped my rife end started in pur-
suit. Five hundred yards from the scene
of the encounter found the horse stand
ing still, and the cougar lying dead at his
feet. The horse bore marks of the cou-
gar's claws upon his back, and his flesh
was torn in several places. The cougars
head was smashed, presumably by the
horses heels. l cannot account for the
result of the strange encounter except by
the theory that the limb of a large oak
tree. hanging low and directly over the
road, struck the cougar and swept it off
the horses back and the horse took ad-
vantage of the opportunity to trample him
to death. The horse is vicious as all 'ori-
ginal herders are. These horses have
been known to fight for hours until one of
the other fell but this is the first time I
have heard of one fighting a cougar. I
have the animals skin, and will keen it
as a memento of the encounter The
horse was not badly injured, and will
soon be ready for service again"

The Republican Platform.
From Springfield Mass Republican QndJ

BY 1896 the country will have fully re-
covered from last years panic. business
will be good, labor well employed, and
everybody prosperous-at least this is the
condition toward which all signs are now
pointing. With such conditions existing
the democrats will he in good shape for
the campaign. but if the business condi-
tions are only fairly good in 1896, they
will have the advantage of having a def
mite, clear-cut policy on the tariff ques-
ton. Intelligent republicans are ready to
admit that up to date they have nothing
of the kind, and II IS further true that
they are divided on the money question
As the battle is now shaped they stand
for neither Mckinleyism nor tariff re-
form. Their policy is well illustrated by
the story Of the translation which old
John, the Harvard apple man, is said to
have made Of the latin inscription on the
Harvard seal. II do be thinkin it means
to h wild Yale" said old John and
the country do be thinkin' " that a fun
and accurate translation Of the republican
platforms and speeches this year would
be ito h with the democrats"

Trying to Sit on Two Stools.
From the Boston Globe Dem.).

While the republican brethren of the
east are vehemently trying to prove that
their party deserves the credit of the re-
peal of the Sherman act. by a democratic
congress, Gov. Mckinley and a host of
lesser orators in the prairie country are
proclaiming with tropical fervor that the
wicked democrats did all the repeating.
and charge them with dealing a fearful
blow at silver. There's something wrong
somewhere. 1t will never do for the
grand old party to pose as the enemy
Of free silver coinage east of the AlleGha-
MES and to attitudinize in the west as the
fearful friend of the white metal, stricken
down by ruthless hands. 1t will fail be-
tween two stools.

Tho Chinese wardog.


From the Buffalo Courier.
The Chinese waTdog is dog
With eyes like pits Of fire,
(Now. as to his tail, I'll speak anon;
His growl is deep and dire.
His fetid breath does blast and char,
His teeth are jagged and white
(And as TO his tail. TN speak anon,
He is, indeed, a fright
The bristles all along his back
Are ranged like hedgehog spines
(And as 10 his tail, TIL speak anon,
on fighting men he dimes.
His whiskers sprout like giant seeds,
His legs are lean and strong
tAnd as TO his tail, I'll speak anon),
His claws are sharp and long.
And, oh, he races swift and far,
This wardog of Cathay;
And as TO his tail--it is tucked between
His legs as he runs away!

The Election Laws Must Be Revised
From the Atlanta Journal Dem.).

The result of the election in some coun-
ties in Georgia has awakened the demo-
Gratis to the Importance of having reg
istration law. Notice is given in several
of these counties that a bill providing for
such a law will be introduced in the leg
islaIure. If the state does not pass gen
eral registration law, the counties that
have suffered from the want of it win see
that each of them have one of its own.

According to the Baltimore American,
scientist has just discovered from an
autopsy on a suicide that the state of the
brain indicated the fatal deed was done
because Of disappointed love. Science has
done great many wonderful things,
but II it is going to get at love secrets
by dissecting the brain in cold blood
there will be a battle waged between
sentiment and science such as the
world has never seen. 1t has hitherto
been the pride and boast of the tender pas
sion that 1t was subject neither to phi
losophy, reason, nor science but above the
comprehension of them all; and now to
be made a scientific curiosity is some
thing it viii not endure. If science keeps
on at this rate, we shall probably soon
hear that DR.. Somebody has cultivated
love bacill, invented an anti-love lymph
and is prepared to inoculate the cautious
against an attack of the amatory fever.

The Inconsistency of some of the lead
ers of the late strike in Chicago, who
are now prominent workers in the pop
ulist party, was very we'll illustrated
by an incident in Chicago a day or two
ago George w. Howard, vice president
of the American Railway Union and Mr.
Deb's right-hand man, lost his pocketbook
and inserted an advertisement about it,
stating in the advertisement that it con-
tained numerous annual railway passes
Howard is the man who, of all others,
during the continuance of the strike,
was wont to launch forth in fiery INJECT
ives against corrupt federal judges who
were shameless enough to accept passes
from 1.-THE grinding, oppressive railway
corporations" Mr.. Howard will have a
merry time explaining to the union men
of Chicago how he secured possession of
so many railroad passes.

to hold a constitutional convention, the
increase of the poll tax from 81 to So
is one of the changes that will be made.
Gov. Tillman made his campaign for the
change in 1892, and the people voted him
into office. AS the prospective new con-
stitution would not be submitted to the
people for ratification. the 50 poll tax
would probably go into it whether the
laboring classes liked it or not 1t may
be that the Carolinians delight in paying
taxes and find it as easy to pay SO as 81.
But over on this side of the river it is
mighty hard to get the 81 poll tax paid.

The interesting letter with regard to
the war between China and Japan that
appears on another page is written from
the standpoint of man who has been
there and knows what he is talking
about. The Rev. Mr.. Mingledorff spent
several years as a missionary in China,
but was compelled to give up that work
because his health was impaired by a fc-
yer contracted in that country. Durinq
his stay in the Middle Kingdom" he had
opportunities to study the character of
the government and the people. and get
a clear insight into their strength and
shortcomings. The reverend gentleman
thinks that China, like lazy and opin-
donated school boy, really needs a good,
sound hoggns.

Chief Justice Bleoklev.

1t was with regret that the bar of the
state and the whole people read yesterday
of the resignation from the head Of the
supreme bench of Georgia of Chief JUS
tice Logan e. Buckley. Nowhere have his
services and he himself been more hie nly
esteemed than among the members OF the
legal profession in Savannah, and in him
they have reposed great confidence not
only as a judge but as a man. Justice
Bleckley has been on the supreme bench
for a long time, and is a veteran in the
states service, At all times the people
whom he has served have had high re-
pect for his ability as judge and deep
regard for his integrity both in his Of
fetal capacity and out of it.
AS to his reasons for leaving the su-
preme bench, he has stated them clearly
and in full.
1t is considered a misfortune that the
people of Georgia did not see fit to CON
sent to the amendment to the constitu-
ton providing for two additional justices
of that court. The work of the Justices is
prescribed by constitutional requirement.
and there is no means by which they can
abridge it in order to get the time and
opportunity to perform properly the in
them with the increase of litigation. JUS
creased duties that are being placed upon
tice Blecklcy felt that under the circum-
stances he could not do fun justice to the
work, and a second time he tenders his
resignation, having been prevailed upon
once to withdraw it. In him Georgia loses
the services of an able and conscientious
judge and an honorable and cultured gen.
tleman.
