Time was when these pillars of the ad-
ministration controlled the machinery
OF the party and supplied the grease
that enabled it to run. They are still
holding the grease and are willing to
use it; but the other fellows, the hereto
free silverites. have carted the machinery
into their own round house and hoisted
the democratic flag and the group of
orthodox and rock-ribbed believers, is
left alone. Only one hope is left these
unfortunate partisans, and that is that
the conservative element will have con.

have to sustain it and the chilling blasts
OF the coming winter are likely to work
sad havoc among these forasken patriots.

THE JUDICIARY

AND the judiciary
HOW ToIMPROvE 1T should be separ-
ated from politics is growing in this
community. and there is some reason to
hope that the time may come when the
divorce will be pronounced. The
COURIER has, on several occasions, dis
cussed the benefits that would follow a
separation of this kind, and it is appar-
emit that there is strong sentiment in
favor OF the ideas that have been ad-
vanced in these columns. This reform
is especially popular among the lawyers.
They are aware OF the evils of the pres
emit system. and are often sufferers by it.
They would welcome change that would
fix the judges firmly In their seats and
remove them from the field of personal,
partisan politics. Under existing con-
ditions, il a man aspire to be judge he
must perforce make of himself poll
tician. This he should not be COMPEL.
ed to do. The touch OF practical poll
tics should never be suffered to defile
the judicial ermine; and those who as
pire to a seat on the bench should not
be made to run the gauntlet OF the
heelers and strikers that line every ap-
proach to public Office. Our judges
ought to be appointed; they ought to
receive larger salaries, and they ought
to serve for much longer term. The
efficiency of the judiciary would be
greatly enhanced by such a departure
from the present policy in this state.
REV. BENTLEY c. E. Bentley, who is a
AND candidate for president
REV. BEALL in the prohibition
party in much the same way that W. j.
Bryan is a candidate for president
among the advocates OF free silver, takes
Rev. Byron Beall to task for his reform
sermon Of last Sunday. Mr.. Bentley
makes the point that Rev. Beall is not
consistent-that while he contends for
policy Of prohibition with reference
to certain social evils, he would not ap-
ply a prohibitive policy to the drink
traffic, but believes instead in license
or regulation. There is something in
Mr.. Bentleyis point. The tendency in
man to drink to excess-to intemper-
ance, is justly comparable to the tenden-
cy in man to do those other things

ASSUMES cussion is taking
LITERARY FORM on a new interest
these days. and it is possible that the
issue may be kept alive little longer by
the new departure, which may be called
a literary effulgence. In the first place,
j. Sterling Morton, from whose mouth
and pen words glide like the ripping OF
a brook, published letter in which,
along with the usual financial argu-
ments which Mr.. Morton makes use OF,
there was a spectacular massing OF
words. The Standard and the Century
dictionaries are not in it with Mr.. Cleve-
lands secretary of agriculture when he
settles down to a serious attempt to ex-
plot his vocabulary. And in this letter,
published in the World Herald, there
was a riotous extravaganza in the use of
the English language. Sentences are
rounded with a captivating ease, and
phrases jingle with melody. Words
dance with perfect rythm, and the
effect of the whole is delightful. some
thing like standing on the shore Of the
sea in the soft radiance Of moonlight
and listening to the musical swish and
roar of the waters. Mr.. Morton's style
at once attracted attention, and in few
days Mr.. Bryan's paper makes rejoin-
der in which there is an endeavor to
keep up the literary pace set by the
Sage. Mr.. Bryan. or Mr.. Bryan's paper
is not quite SO elegant as Mr.. Morton;
but there is pretentious effort to make
a proper showing. Our contemporary
says in referring to an extract from Mr..
Morton's letter-"These words are not
referred to because they are rapid, vap-
orous, vindictive, violent, virtuperative
or venomous, but because they are vast
ly volatile and unanimously vacuous,
and because they betray contempt for
natural laws which is wonderfully wide

BIRDS LIKE To TRAVEL.

And This Is the Reason Why They
Annually Leave Northern Climates.
Why do the birds fit southwark each
autumn and return again with every
spring? No one knows, but science,
in the person of Prof. Wang, the emf.
nent Austrian ornithologist, has just
disclosed that the usual flippant an
swer to this question. Because they
like to travel" is not far out of the
way after ALL says the New York
World. In lecture that Prof. Wang
recently delivered in Vienna he gave
some extremely interesting details re-
garding the migrations of birds, all Of
which migrations resemble one ar
other In two respects: they follow the
most direct line southwark and are
made with almost incredible rapidity.
Numerous observations have been made
at Heligoland, which is the princiI al
hating place of birds of passage frc..
northern countries, and in Egypt
which is the winter home of mar
and these observations have establish
some facts hitherto unknown. zee
blue birds traverse the 400 naut:aal
miles which separate Egypt from
Heligoland in single night, which is
at the rate of more than forty
geographical miles per hour. The
swallows speed is over two and one
half miles per minute, or nearly three
times that of the fastest railway train.
Even the younger birds. 6 or s weeks
old, accompany the others in their long
journey. Prof. Wang asks himself
what is the impulse which causes the
birds after the brooding and moulting
season is over. to quit our northern
climate. He does not think it is fear
OF cold-for many species quite as deli
cate as those which migrate southwark
easily Withstand the rigors of the win
ter but they have an irresistible humor
for travelling. This is his idea of the
fact but he can give no explanation.

REV. SAM JON s.

with His Audience.

win
An amusing incident occurred at the
close of San Jones sermon at Pulas!.
the other day. Stepping down from
the pulpit, folding his hands across his
breast and looking solemnly over the
audience, the great revivaliSt said:
Il want all the women in this crowd
who have not spoken a harsh word OF
harbored an unkind thought toward
their husbands for a month past to
stand, up"
One old woman. apparently on the
shady side of GO. stood up.
Come forward and give me your
hand" said the preacher.
The woman did SO.
Now turn and let this audience see
the best looking woman in the coun-
try"
After taking her seat the revivalis'
addressed the men:
Now, l want all the men in this
crowd who have not spoken hard
word or harbored an unkind thought
toward their wives, TO stand up"
Twenty-seven great big, strappine
fellows hopped out of the audience
with all the alacrity of champagne
corks.
Come forward and give me your
hands. my dear boys"
Jones gave each one a vigorous shake
after which he ranged them all side by
side in front of the pulpit and facing
the audience. He looked them over
carefully and solemnly. and then, turn.
ing around to the audience. he said:

The Gunmaker of lion.
JEFFERSON M. CLOUCH RE-
FUSES A TEMPTING OFFER
FROM THE CHINESE
GOVERNMENT
His Health Was Too Poor to Admit At.
tention to Business.

(From the Springfield, Mass, Union.)
There isn't gun manufacturer in the
United States, who does not know JEFF
eerson NJ. Clough. He has been intimate
ly associated all his life with the de-
velopment of the Remington and
Winchester rifles For years he was su-
perintendent Of the E. Remington &
Sons great factory at 1lion, N. Y.
After leaving there he refused tempt
Ing offer of the Chinese government to
60 to China to superintend their gov
ernment factories,-and accepted in
stead the superintendency Of the Win
chester Arms Co, at New Haven, at a
salary of 81, 500 year.
1t was after this long term Of active
labor as a business man that he found
himself incapacitated for further service
by the embargo which rheumatism had
laid upon him and resigned his position
more than two years ago, and returned
to Belchertown, Mass. where he now
lives and owns the Phelps farm.
Being a man of means he did not
spare the cost and was treated by lead
ing physicians and by baths Of cele-
brated springs without receiving any
benefit worth notice. During the sum-
mer Of 1893 and the winter of 1894 Mr..
Clough was confined to his house In
Belchertown, being unable to rise from
his bed without assistance, and suffer-
Ing continually with acute pains and
with no taste or desire for food. nor was
he able to obtain sufficient sleep.
Early in the year 1894 Mr.. Clough
heard of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. He began taking these
pills about the first of March, 1894. and
continued to do SO until the first part Of
September following. The first effect
noticed was a better appetite and he
began to note more ability to help him
self of the bed and to he better gen.
orally. Last August Qs9D he was able
to go alone to his summer residence and
farm of 1853 acres on Grenadier island.
among the Thousand islands. in the
River st. Lawrence, where from the
highest land of his farm he commands
view for thirteen miles down the river.
and sixty of the Thousand islands can
be seen.
Instead of being confined to his bed
Mr.. Clough is now and has been for
some time able to be about the farm to
direct the men employed there and he is
thankful for what DIR. Williams Pink
Pills have done for him.
These pills are manufactured by the
DR.. Williams Medicine company. Sche-
nectady, n. Y, and are sold only in
boxes bearing the firms trade mark and
wrapper, at so cents a box or six boxes
for $3.50 and are never sold in bulk.
They may be had of all druggists or
direct by mail from DR.. Williams Medi-
zine company.

Blowing Out n Candle Through a Brick.

.sYou wouldn't have believed 1t possible

bat" remarked celebrated physician,
whose peuchant is to give scientific re-
search q practical bearing. 1T can be
done, however, and It illustrates the all-per-

largely ventilated through their walls, and
the brick and mortar are merely very rudi-
mentary lungs. which take in and throw
out the atmosphere with little hindrance.
You may try the experiment yourself.
Place a candle on the other side of your
brick and use two tunnels, with the faring
ends on the opposite sides Of the brickbat.

There are thousands of daughters of
