Tho gift of the Irish peasant for mak- ing expressive and humorous phrases is not by any means n fiction of literature, Tho uso of pat" phrases is natural to him.
 A clerical traveller ill Cavan not long ago asked peasant how fur it was to certain village and was answered. Two milCS
 What! Only two milcs?" said the distance and found it long road.
 Well. your ravCrcnce. answered tho peasant. it is two miles sthronS and rich, so to Spako.
 A somewhat similar story is told by ono of Lord Zctland's party, who were making inquiries ito tho condition of n distressed district. They were cross ing lake. A gallo was blowing. and waves wuro dashing over tho boat.
 Tho gentleman referred to had becn assured that an Irish peasant if treated woll will always agree with what is said to him rather than appear disagree able. It struck tho gentleman that hero was a good chance to put the asScr- tion to the proof.
 "There is very littlo wind. Pat, he said to ono of the hOatmCn.

WuErHER or not Mir Dana of the New York Sun. libel!ed F. B. Moves of Wash ington, in an article which has resulted in indictment of the former in the District of Columbia is question that can only be authoritatively decided by a court of com- potent jurisdiction. It is a question i'm mensely .overShadOwed. however. by an other more important one whether such a court exists in the District of Columbia with lawful power to drag Mir Dana there for trial from New York. where, if any where, the law was violated. This latter question appears to be now under investi- gltion at the bar of public opinion with almost universal expression in the nega- tive. It can. it is true. only be formally de- termined in court. but if it shall there ap- pear that either statute or precedent just flies the trial of MT Dana in Washington for an alleged offence committed in N CIV York, the statute will bn speedily repealed as the precedent should be promptly overruled. Such at least is the decision in the great fo- | rum of common sense. where statutes and and opinions are always on trial.

EDITOR WELLS, a member of the charter committee, lets his imagination have full play when he says the sentiment among thinking citizens who have no axes to grind is that the proposed new charter should be taken to Hartford and fought out to finish there. The DEMOCRAT inter viewed many good citizens. who are not in local politics for revenue. and to man they are opposed to the new charter Is E. A. Smith ''small politician" or "un- classified citizen" Has Thomas Kelly an axe to grind? On the contrary both are representative citizens and republicans. They arc opposed to the "one man" charter. We select these two gentlemen because they represent two distinct ele- ments in the business community. If necessary the list may be enlarged. but to override Editor Wells argument it Is un- necessary to consult the directory further. The sentiment among thinking people, as the DEMOCRAT sees it, is to either take a vote on the question of consolidation or drop the whole matter in the waste baS- Eak

Small Boys With BiG Salaries.

Among tho jockeys thcro arc many with incomes abOvO SI,OOO, and most of the riders rango in age from 13 to 70 years. Somc of them GCforO arriving at their majority get enormous salaries, although thCro has been gross exaEScratiun in many of tho stories published on this particular. The l'ading jockey of the timc Is unduubt- odly Fred Taral, who rides for tho KConCs at a big salary and makes n small fortune annually besides on his outside mounts. It is safe to s0y his income is not less than so, UO0. Next to Taral in tho mat ter of earnings comes little Griffin, who was rCcCntly engaged at n salary of SIG, 900.
