The Giant and the Small Man.

It came to pass in the reign Of
Grover, the Democrat, that there
lived in city on the banks Of the
river Mississippi, two men of tine same
name But while their names
We're similar there was a great diff
ference in the men, one beng q giant
in statute while the other was no
larger than the ordinary man of
that time. Audit came to pass that
upon a certain Sabbath day, the
giant went up into the temple to
worship and he of the same name
took his gun and with companion
went out upon the plains round
about the city in seach of game. The
game not yet being ripe, the hunter
was set upon by an officer of the
ruler and dragged before the Cadi,
who caused him to contribute quite
literally toward the support of the
government.
Upon the following day he went
out upon the streets of the city and
when his friends came to weep
with him, he said, "Why weep, We?
1t is notI who transgressed the laws
and was taken before the Cadi, but he
OF the giant STATURE" and they made
merry when they saw the giant ap-
preaching.
Now it came to pass when the big
man got onto the little game that
he was sorely vexed, and lamented
the fact that another 50 unlike him
only in name should live in the same
city. and he made a VOW to get
square with the other, fellow, The
BETS are that the giant will do it.

It is said that there was no need
of the deputy game warden from
Royalton going SO far from home in
order to find people breaking the
law relative to shooting chickens.
1t is we'll known fact that parties
were shooting chickens between Roy
alton and the place where the Little
Falls men were caught Sunday.
There is no excuse for anyone break
ing the game laws, but it. might be
well to catch some of the fellows
nearer home. It will be dangerous
business for anyone who goes out
chicken hunting in this vicinity be-

There Was Crooked Work.

A Long Prairie special under date
OF August 18th says: AS predicted
in former dispatch the legal battle
growing out OF the arrests for al
legged tampering with the ballot box,
by Judges of election, at special
election held at the village of Bur-
trum, July ~, was hotly contested
one. OF the three judges of election
for whom warrants were sworn out
only Edward B. Hawly and W. E.
Barrows were found, the other, S..
S. Sibley, having departed for parts
unknown. The case was called be-
fore Justice j. F. Locke at Pillsbury,
August 6, continued to August s, at
Long Prairie, and there the Justice
reserved his decision for three days
for a more thorough examination OF
evidence. 1t is known that the JUS
tice bound the defendants over, the
bond being merely nominal, for their
appearance to the district court.
No one, not even the Justice, be-
lieves the parties tried to be guilty,
but there unq ionably was crook
ed work by some one, and the re-
cognizance is regarded as simply
keeping the net open until the guilty
party or parties are captured.
The prosecution may prove to be
the biggest kind Of a boomerang.

30 often has Tammany been threatened

such q rule implies, that 1t Is doubtful

More formidable than any ever before at
tempted. the leaders Of that powerful organ-
fzation have any fear Of losing political con-
troll OF New York city. When It has come
to test at the polls 1t has generally turned
out that the Tammany leaders had the most
votes. 1t would not be at all wonderful If
these same leaders had acquired q conf
dsnce amounting to q certainty that the
methods which have never failed them in
the past. will serve to confound any new
enemies that may appear before them.
These methods whatever they may be, are
applied to produce ono simple result, the

that the citizen Of New York who has, year

5ect Of defeating Tammany, and all going
through about the same course, ending with
complete collapse on election day may take
new courage and have some reasonable hope
that Tammany may yet be overthrown.
Not only is Tammany confronted now by
political antagonists. an organization of
anti-Tammany democracy. that shows signs
Of growing strength, and an organization
among republicans, which threatens to de-
prive Tammany Of the support 1t is said to
have derived from the republican machine
but also the work Of reformers not identi-
fed with politics is being pushed to a point
that must be embarrassing to Tammany
leaders, and there are signs Of revolt among

It was entirely natural that the lexington
Railway Company should apply for permis-
sion to use a small government reservation
as the site for transfer station and to as
sumo that permission would be granted
since 50 much Of the public streets and
reservations has been given to the use of
steam railways, including the seven reser-
vations In South Washington which were
appropriated without authority Of law by
the Pennsylvania road. The view taken OF
this matter by Congress, which legalized
the occupation Of these reservations in the
Atkinson act, does not seem. however. to meet
the approval Of Secretary Lamont who has
declined the permission asked by the Eek
ington road. Secretary Lamont is undoubt-
edly right. The only regret Is that the same
regard for the public and the public ground
has not prevailed in the legislative branch

ment, merely to be taxed directly in a man
ner which every one can recognize and un-

by the fact that in its practical application

resorting to the offensive income tax to

upon the country the income tax without
