The Speaker of the new Mary
land House of Delegates has
doubtless reached the height of
his presen5 ambition, and yet his
name is Mudd.
Turning over new leaves har.
monies with the notion that we
are all like books. Hence the
distaste to being shut up or laid
on the shelf.
Governor Morton is for peace
and for President also. We trust
the former is more likely to con-
tinue than the latter is TO materi-
aiize in the Governors hands.
Jamoson's career in the Trans
vaal may have been brilliant, but
it was exceedingly brief. Brit
ish aggressors elsewhere-in
Venezuela, for example, should
take warning.
1t is quite clear that the Beers
didn't do a thing to the repre~
sentative of Britain's land-grab-
bing propensity, who invaded
their territory with an armed fol
lowing.
Some of the enemies of Alfred
Austin,rwho has just been ap
pointed Poet Laureate Of Eng
land, as the successor of Lord
Tennyson, are trying to ruin
Austin's reputation by publish
ing samples of his verse.
Have you anti.C Cleveland Dem
ocrats and Populists heard the
clarion call of Mr.. Walter Allen
of Kansas? Well, if you haven't,
he wants you all to meet him in
St, Louis on the 18th of this
month to organize a free silver
party and raise the devil gener>
ally. If you love your country
you cannot disregard this cry
from patriot Allen.
The English press makes
much of the fact that six Gamer
lean" newspapers, including
English Godkin's New York
Post and German Pulitzer's New
York World, are onEngland's side
in the Venezuelan controversy.
There is, or used to be, an Eng
lish regiment, the Fiftieth,
which was known to fame as
''The Dirty Half-Hundred."
When her majesty's loyal press
in America is formally adopted
into her service, it may De
known as The Dirty Half Dozen.
Even O poet should know when
to keep silence. Just when the
laurel crown was lowering, as it
were, over the heads of the whole
crowd of British rhymesters, MIR.
Watson. one Of the most conspi-
cuous of them, must burst out in
q purple sonnet about craven
England" denouncing the gov
eminent for its impotence in the
East. Of course that ruled him
o1t. But Watson's blunder was
Austin's opportunity, and he was
equal to it. He wrote a reply to
Watson, reproving him for his
''harsh upbraidings of the
mother land" and assuring him
that Lord Salisbury, so to speak,
''knoweth what is best" The
next week Mr.. Austin was gas
zetted Poet Laureate. This shows
the advantage of a word in sea
son, and it confirms the opinion
that for a good Tory court poet
Austin is just man.

a sad accident near Trap Hill,
Wilkes county, on December 81,
at the home of Mr.. Morgan
Lyons. James and John Miles,
brothers. were visiting their sis.
ter, Mrs. Lyon. After they had
eaten breakfast they stepped nto
the yard and fed their dogs, ans
ticipating a hunt. John went
back into the house and got his
gun and started out the door
when the hammer struck the
facing and discharged, the entire
load striking his brothers head
just behind the ear, killing him
instantly. He leaves a wife and
two or three children.

himself. Tuesday night when
the fire alarm sounded, he sprang
out of bed, and looked out of the
