The Cndi's Wisdom.

There is "a story current among the Per-
slams which sets forth the disclosing pow
er of wisdom, whereby a wise man uncov-
ers the thing that is hidden, says the
Youths Companion.
A certain cadi, or magistrate. was called
upon to decide a curious case. A woman
was claimed by two men as wife; one a
peasant the other a mira or scribe. Each
of the two men SwOre TO the truth of his
claim. The woman, for some reason, was
SILENT The cadi, unable to get any evi-
dence which cOrroborated the claim of
either of the men, ordered the woman to
remain for a time with his own wives
The next day he handed her over to the
scribe, and ordered the peasant to be Sc
Verely bastinadOed, that is, beaten on the
sOles of his feet. Then the woman broke
silence for the first time and praised the
just judge. The spectators also applauded
the justice of the cadi, but failed 10 see
the grounds Of his judgment
81 told her to milk cow" said the cadi
and she could not. Then handing her nv
writing case | told her to put it in order
She took the little silver spoon and re-
plenished my inkStand with water. ONLY
the Wife OF man who could write would
have done this correctly. Hence my decis-
ion"
The woman's act of replenishing the
inkstand with water instead of with ink
is explained by the fact that a Persian
scribe writes with india ink A sponge

in the inkstand and moistened with wafer

RIacIeburn,. Prophecy.

Senator Blackburn Of Kentucky has as
sumed the role Of prophet In an in
tervlew in Washington last Friday he is
quoted as having SAID: There viii be
two conventions, TWO nominations and two
platforms at Chicago and Grover Cleve-
land VIII be al the head OF one OF the
tickets"
Senator Blackburn is mistaken in saying
that Mr.. Cleveland viii be nominated at
Chicago by the gold standard faction OF
the democratic party, and We sincerely
hope that his prediction that there viii
Doe two democratic tickets and two demo-
cratic platforms will not come true. Mr..
Cleveland could not be elected as the can
didate OF one faction OF the democratic
party, and ne would not go through a
bitter political campaign as the leader of
a faction simply for the sake of being a
candidate. Senator Blackburn is a po-
Htical enemy Of Mr.. Cleveland. and he loses
no opportunity to show his hostility. 1t is
barely possible that his dislike of the
President is so great that he is incapable
of treating him with justice. and that he
really thinks the President is so anxious
to be a candidate again that he would ac-
cept a nomination from a faction Of his
party. we do not know what Mr.. Cleve-
lands plans and purposes are. but it is
but just to him to say that no man knows
Of any effort he has made to secure
denomination. Indeed, it is doubtful if he
would accept denomination even If it
were offered him by his entire party.
Senator Blackburn does not say which
faction of the democratic party. in his
opinion. will bolt at Chicago. The infer
ence. from what he says, is that the sill
vertes win bolt if they are in the mi
nority. and that the sound money men will
bolt if a 16 to / platform IS adopted. From
his point of view, a platform cannot be
framed that would hold the two factions
together.
There is no doubt that the action Of the
ST. Louis convention will have considera-
BILE influence in determining what will be
done at Chicago. A straddling platform
at st. Louis would greatly increase the
demand for a sound money platform. There
are silverites who would admit that the
only hope the democracy would have for
success under such condition of affairs
would be a ringing declaration for sound
money.
1t looks as if Senator Blackburn were in
sympathy with Senator Tillman to the
extent that he would like to see the sill
verites bolt at ST. Louis and Chicago and
form silver party. If such a party
should be started, it is pretty certain that
he would be a member of it.

A BacheIor,s Toast.


How now, a toast?-from bachelor lfps
To please the bride who sweetly slips
The golden Hymen kiss upon
Her tingling finger? Be it so
May garland words all smoothly flow
To weave a blessing of to use
To crown her with, for lol tbs won
This loVesome day. Then in a glass
of clearest water, bright and pure.
I'll pledge her happiness, nor pass
The words in wine, for springs endure
When grapes are dry of joy. 1 toast
Whatever joy is innermost
Within her heart-the Joy that she
In secret keeps full sacredly
For husbands eyes. And may its shrine
Be petal-hid by blooms of love
That thrive a-near a heart and Irvine
Like gentlest arms, around above
And all about. And always may
The melody that throbs to-day
The heart-duet that, blended fair.
Goes forth, one song, upon the air
Ring crystal clear; and be ii told
Till all the sands of time are old
Oh, altar stars celestal bliss
The righteousness and the wholesomeness
OF wedlocked pairs! Make JOY divine
Within their souls, as once in mine
l thought to have-for lol tbs good
To save man from bachelorhood.

The grand jury Of the superior court
has recommended the completion Of the
county map on a modified plan. and has
appropriated 5000 for that purpose. In
their presentment they say: ITO contin-
ne road and drainage improvements in
diligently a typographical map is an alb
sOlute necessity"
The grand jury expresses the opinion
that a great deal Of money has been spent
unnecessarily on the map. and it is prob
able that the opinion is a correct one
Deducting the overcharge and the ex-
peHse Of the outfit, the cost Of the map
up 10 1896 was S2l.7139O. and according 10
the estimate Of Engineer Brown. 1t would
cost S2o,250 TO complete it.
If a contract had been made with an
engineer in the beginning to do the work
it is probable that the MAP would have
been completed long before this. and
at much less cost than the county will
eventually have to pay for it. Much Of
the cost is probably due 10 the fact that
different engineers. whose ideas as to
the way the work should be DONE have
had charge Of II, and to the further fact
that the work has not been prosecuted
continuously.
1t will be admitted that a typographical
map Of the county is necessary. not only
for road building and drainage. which
includes sanitation. but also for the re-
claiming of lands. the location Of property
and the establishment Of roads.
It is stated that 50 per cent. of the land
of the county is high. and therefore does
not need draining, 20 per cent. is wet,
but can be drained by property holders.
and p per cent. is swamp on main land
and, if drained at all. must be drained
with the help Of the county. Good drain
age would bring under cultivation about
$1,000 acres of very fertile lands, which
are now practically useless. They are not
only useless, but they add very little to
the revenue Of the county. Drained and
cultivated, they would yield a large
amount annually in taxes.
The drainage of these lands would make
the county as healthy as any in the state
The malar.al fevers which are now ma
A46AAailA anu tp4AAllpu III the Nlt4ullg OF
the swamps, would disappear. as they
have disappeared in Savannah The
whole county would quickly be put under
cultivation. and would become a county
of farms and homes.
But before a drainage system could be
carried into effect that would effectually
drain these swamp lands there must be
a typographical map. That is a recogniz-
ed and admitted fact by county commits
sioners and grand jurors. A mistake has
been made. probably, in permitting work
on the map to drag along through so many
years If the map had been completed
within two or three years after it was
begun, it is pretty safe to say the drain
age work would have been pushed with
more enthusiasm and vigor. Let US have
the part of the map required for drainage
and road building purposes completed at
an early a day as DOssfbIe

ImmateriaI Concessions.

The Liberal Club did not get from the
county executive committee yesterday
what it asked. As the Citizens Club has
majority of the committee it was hardly
expected that it would. Some concessions
We're made to it. but they were not very
material The Citizens Club insisted upon
holding control of the ballot boxes by re-
tanning the right in the majority of the
executive committee to say who shall be
the election managers. The Liberal Club
asked for the absolute power to appoint its
two managers for each polling place, but
the request was denied on the ground that
the club might appoint objectionable men,
1t was also decided that those who had
registered without paying their taxes, if
any, might retain their places on the reg
istration list by paying them. That
decision will strike the public as being
something new in the history of politics
in this county. 1t would seem as if a vo-
ter, when not properly registered in time
for the primary, should not be permitted
to qualify afterwards and take part in the
primary.
Whether or not the Liberal Club will go
into the primary under the revised rules
of the executive committee is a question
to be decided by that organiza-
ton. AS it looks now. the club has
gained nothing of much consequence by
the appeal made by dts committee for fair
treatment.

The anti-high hat sentiment appears to
be growing. A bill to regulate the size
of hats that may be worn in theaters and
places of public amusement or enter
tainment has been introduced into the
Louisiana legislature by Representative
Dudenhefer, whose name has been con-
densed to Dude" and given to the bill. 1t
is a little strange that the women of any
state or section should need to have their
headgear regulated by law. There ought
not to be any objection on the part of any
except bald headed women ito taking off
their hats when they go to the theater.
Half dozen or more states have now on
their statute books anti-hlgh hat laws.
But the probability is that in the most of
them there is little If any effort to enforce
the law
