To differ in politics is a right; to
SANDER, wound and vilify no mans
right. "Thou shalt love thy neigh
Dor as myself" My father was not
politician in any smallest sense of
that term, nor do inherit any pro-
clivities or tastes in that direction.
He was, nevertheless, one OF the
electors from Massachusetts when
William HI. Harrison was chosen
President. When on his dying bed,
and past four-score, read to him
the latest presidential message, for
love of country was yet warm fire
in his heart. When | demurred that
so much magniicence should be
heaped upon one man (Grant) as he
journeyed from kingdom to empire
he quickly said: ut is your country,
my dear, they are seeking to honor,
through its chosen representative.
And so, to calumniate the ruler of
country, is to insult every citizen of
that country, for he is "the peoples
choice" and every man is in honor
bound to resent the injury as per-
sonal matter. In my country women
are not allowed to vote, but in this
enlightened age they are Just begin

stand the debt. 1t certainly could
MT pay cash even for the $4,000
asked for on account. But why pay
anything9 Is it because the Mrs.
Bishop estates trustees invested
thor surplus revenue in government
bonds to save the finance depart
ment from bankruptcy in former
days, that now the people must dig
ND their hard earned-and hard
paid-taxes to reimburse them7 Get
alongl Mr.. Minister--the steal is
too barefaced.
The law provides that on certain
bonds (and it has done 30 since Ka-
mehameha Fifth's time), that they
shall bear IL percent interest. These
bonds are wholly in the hands of
the Board OF Education. The heavy
rate OF interest was made to CON-
pensa the educational facilities OF
the country for having given up the
control OF certain lands to the plant
ing interests at that time. They
we're supposed to be perpetual
nay, everlasting-bonds. But the
Minister of Finance hasn't even paid
the interest on them since March
81, 1894, and now wishes to extin-
guish them by giving the Bishop
estates white elephant on Emma
street in exchange for this claim on
the general government. Go aheadl

Uscful Member of Society.

The Rev. Mr.. Bcdell, who used to
preach Methodist doctrine in Calhoun
County, in this State, was what is
called "a jack of all trades" While
he was living at Newton it is related
ing to get married came to the ferry at
that place and called for the ferryman,
Of him that youngrunaway couple seek,
when Bedell responded to their call
and put them across the river. Whlle
doing so the young man inquired Tor a
blacksmith, as he wanted some repairs
made on his buggy. Bedell replied.
"I am Il blacksmith, and will repair
it,"
The young man next inquired for a
hotel to stop at. Bedell replied:
"Come with me; / keep the hotel,
and will entertain you" ;,
The next inquiry was for the CLERK
of court of ordinary, III order to pro-
cure a marriage license. Bedell an
swered:
Il am the clerk, and can issue you a
license.n
He finally inquired for minister To
perform the marriage ceremony. The
man of many occupations was again
equal to the emergency, and informed
the would-be bridegroom
81 am minister, and will perform
the ceremony for you.'-Atlanta Con-
stitution.

After the Boys.

During an Endeaver convention one
of the delegates, young business man
alert and eager, and telling of bottled
energy within, came suddenly upon q
red-faced citizen who evidently had
been patronizing the hotel bar. But
ton-holing" the delegate unceremon'
iously, he said:
"What are you fellows trying to dc
anyway? You are hot on temperance
see by the papers. Do you think
you could make temperance man OF
me?
NO" replied the delegate looking
him over from head to foot with a keen
glance, slightly contemptuous, "we
evidently could'tdo much with you
we are after your boy"
At this unexpected retort the man
dropped his peculiar tone and said
seriously:
"Well, 1 guess you have got the
right of it there. If somebody had
been after me when | was boy, /
should be better man than | am to-
day y.n-Examiner.

ON Bad Handwriting.

One of the most important things tor
bows or girls to learn to do is to write
plainly, so that those who have 10 read
what they write are left in no doubt as
TO their meaning. Several anlus!nS
stories of the embarrassment winch
has followed not learning to write iegl-
bly are told. One Of these Is OF a Mas
sachusetts clergyman who nearly soI
himself into peck of trouble because
of the bad quality of his handwriting:
1t was more than century ago that
this clergyman had occasion to address
a letter to the General Court OF Massa-
chusetts upon some subject of great IN
terest at that time. When the letter
was received the Court ordered the
clerk to read it, and were filled with
wrath at what appeared to be these
words in opening: II address you
not as magistrates, but as Indian de-
wills"
"What ~ they cried. "Read that
over again. How does he address
u.s." -.
"Not as magistrates, but as Indian
DEVILS" repeated the clerk. "That's
what he says"
The letter was passed around, and
the Judges were by no means pleased
to see that the clerk had apparently
made no mistake. Very angry al
what they believed to be an insult, the
Judges passed vote of censure upon
the clergyman, and wrote to him de,
manding an apology. He came before
them in person, when it turned out
that where the judges had read indian
devils he had written individuals
which, of course, made apology unnec'
essary but the reverend gentleman
was admonished to improve his hand;
writing if he wished to keep out ol
trouble. .-Harper's Young People.

for names. Everybody has heard OF

A minister of Virginia, in a recent SER
mon, was altogether right when he said
there is no man, no matter how skep-
tical he may be, and how much he may
be addicted to saying religion is a fraud,
who could not recall to memory some
man or woman that he had met with,
somewhere in life, that would force
from his lips the statement that he or
she was Christian. 1t is comforting
sometimes, instead of weeping over
counterfeits and humbugs, to turn our
attention to the good and true, the no
BILE and unselfish, that we met with on
life::s iourney.-Baltimore Herald.

The Danger is Real.

Employees of the Allegheny Valley rail-
road and travellers who have had occasion
to pass th- gorge that blocks the river be
tween West Monterey and Kittauning, q
distance OF so miles, state JnAt the con-
dtion of the liver is trightful aud that
nothing has been said ar could be said
that would exaggerate the terrible danger
that threatens the residents OF the towns
along the river between those two places
The ice has been gorged f1r weeks ald has
apparently frozen clear to the bottom,
making dam that is anywhere from ID to
80 feet thick and all of 80 miles long
Against this apparently immovable bar
rier the immeasurable volumes of water
and foes Of ice from Oil City and points
above and below have been beating them
selves and only adding 70 the heigth,
breadth and thickness of the big dam. AT
Templetun station, OrhIll station and Ma
honing, the water became so high that
residents OF these towns have been com
PEELED to move from their homes and the
water is still rising. At Brady's Bend the
water is within four feet of the bridge and
at the lowest calculation the water and ice
in the river at that point is all of 80 feet
deep. The freezing cold weather OF yes
terday afternoon and last night is making
the gorge thicker and more compact every
minute and with the water ri-ing the res
idents are in desperation. The situation
has never been so dreadful or apparently
so full of threatened danger as at present
and there is apparently nothing that can
be done by human agency to avert th'
most destructive food that must come
with a rain or warmer weather. Watch
men are patrolling the river banks near al
the threatened towns to prevent possible
loss of life should the gorge give way

Washington Notes.

The Senate spent some time in executive
session, Friday, and confirmed a large
number of nominations, one OF them being
that of Bigler for Collector of this district
and another that w. l.. Wilson for P. NJ.
General.
The galleries and corridors of the Capitol
were crowded last Sunday, as both House
and Senate remained in session that day;
all the necessary appropriation bills were
pushed forward; during the day the Hawai-
ian cable scheme and Cameron's bill to buy
the Blaine property were killed by the con-
ference committees; by midnight nearly
all the appropriation bills were in the hands
of the President.
Monday noon the SD. Congress expired
quietly. In the House Reed and one or
two friends refused TO join in a vote ol
thanks to speaker Crisp; and IN the Senate
the galleries laughed atVoorh ees' announce.
ment that the President congratulated the
Senate on the completion of its work AL
the appropriation bills had reached the
President in time, and these were the only
two noteworthy incidents of the fna
adjournment.

legislation of any permanent value can b.
placed to its credit. 1t has been marked
throughout by bitter feuds and faction

There has been bu. little affirmative legis

has been, has been for the most part bad
