Col. Benjamin Wilson listened
with marked attention and ap.
parent lnterestto Governor Mac.
Corkles lecture Thursday night.
He said yesterday in answer to q
question by a reporter that he
enjoyed 1t very much, that it
demonstrated in vigorous langu.
age and by strong arguments the
benefit the completion Of the
Nicaragua Canal would be to this
country.
The subject was more inter-
esting to Col. Wilson because he
had. as a member of the Com.
m:ttee on Foreign Affairs, con.
sidered 1t during two sessions Of
Congress and voted for a char.
ter looking to the formation OF a
company to develop the enter.
prise. The subject was discuss.
ed by a number Of distinguished
gentlemen as to the feasibility Of
the plan, It's cost. etc, also the
commercial advantages itwould
give to the world, especially to
the United States. However. he
had not before heard the subject
so deliberately discussed with re.
ference to its advantages tothis
country, and especially the Ohio
and Mississippi Valleys
He is IN full accord with Gov
ernor MacCorkle that this great
national enterprise should be
completed as speedily as possible
that it should be under the domi.
nation ofthe United States as far
as can be under our treaty with
! Nicaragua
This will not impede the pro,
posed Lake Erie and Ohio River
Canal but will, on the contrary,
create greater demand, yea,
necessity. for the latter enter.
prise With these two improve
ments accomplished. the Ohio
Valley will nbecome the mos

Walt Christie, summoned as witness
in the "Monk" Day case, yesterday,
thought he was too smart for Mayor
Davis, and refused to come. An officer
was sent after him, and he marched into
court with an insolent air, and sat down
in the witness stand with his hat on.
The Mayor very promptly and properly
gave him fine Of $40 and costs and ten
days on the stone pile. When Walt
found out what it was to monkey with
the court, he wilted very suddenly, and
pleaded for mercy. But there was no
mercy tor the smart aleck.

In vain is it for Highland County
Democrats to expatiate upon the mar.
velous merits of Jacob Ericsson Worley.
We all know that Jacob Ericsson is an
amateur saint, an embryo angel, as 1t
were. The grass bows in worship when
J. Ericsson comes by, the leaves whisper
to each other in awe, the dogs cease to
bark, the cats purr with gentle meek.
ness, the birds gaze with envy at his
sprouting wings, the sheep bleat with
pitiful pleas for mercy. The sun with.
holds its fercest rays till Briceson's in
the shade. When the moon first lifts
her silvery face, she looks around for
Ericsson and arches her brows, as much
as to say, "With your permission, dea r,
I'll rise." When the Bishops and the
elders, the preachers and the saints re.
tire for the night their last words are,
"Oh, Lord, we thank thee for Ericsson I!
What could we do without Ericsson p"
When they rise in the morning, and
look abroad over sin.cnrsed world,
their yearning. wishful hearts are all
throbbing with the thought, "What
wonders may we do for the Lord today,
with the help of Bricson?" When
Ericsson opens his face to speak, the
beast of Baalam is utterly forgotten, and
the golden harps of heaven are hushed,
that the faintest syllable may be socked
home to each angelic ear.drum. When
he sings, ''Come all my partners in
distress the morning stars cease
their melodies and all the universe
stands still. Yea, verify Like the first
perfect works of creation, fresh from the
hands of omnipotence, he is "good." So
good is Ericsson that even the festive
mosquito, that cruel bird of prey, sings
round him in awesome admiration, and
wings its way to other victims, not hav.
ing the heart to mar such transcendent
loveliness. There are no flies on Brice.
son-no, no! Those sacriligious pests
must respect his holy presence. Even
the wicked and malignant flea CRATES
his teeth in that holy atmosphere and
skips for something else. Holy, holy,
thrice holy is Ericsson! So pure is he,
that he doesn't propose that any more
than he can help of that $4,000 cor.
ruption fund, brought over in Brice's
pay car from New York the other day
and labeled for Highland County, shall
be allowed to contaminate the Demo.
cratic voters of his bailiwick. In this
conclusion he is ably seconded by the
sanity souls who run the Gazette. Bless
their dear hearts The word has gone
out to protest, protest, protest that they
never got the money, and thus keep
down the clamor. If, in spite of all this
pious precaution, the boys should move
on them for Doodle, they may scatter
few of the golden shekels. But each
coin will be released as reluctant gift
from their own hard earnings, and every
recipient will be urged to be good, and
do nothing wrong, at all, at all, with his
sacred charge. Oh good, good is Brice.
