DID He DO TT


Mr.. EDiToR: Your Londonderry
correspondent last week in speaking
of the caterpillar pest queries "Why
did Noah take these detestable things
into the ark ?" Once on time, as
the story goes, negro preacher was
eddifying his sable audience by de-
failing the process of the making of
man aud when he, the Lord, got him
fashioned, the preacher said, "he set
him up against the fence to dry" !"
At this an old darkey shouted "where
you git dat fencef" The preacher
answered, "my good brother you
mustn't ask such questions as that or
you will spoil all the theology in the
world" Isn't your correspondent,
for a good church worker, getting on
dangerous grounds
Perhaps she can make it as plain
as the colored preacher did. l would
be pleased 10 have her try her hand,
bat hope she will remember that this
is an age in which people are doing a
good deal of thinking for themselves
and many of US don't believe that
Noah ever took the caterpillars into
the ark or any other of the hundreds
of pests that infest the earth, in fact
many reject the whole thing as a
Munchausen fable.
Yours for the
PoTATo BUG.

The following from the San Fran
cisco News Letter, gives one sub
stantial showing why the United
States are so politically rotten as
they are to day.
"If ever a nation suffered severely
the lack OF craftsmanship, it is
America; and the time is to-day.
Yet but few times in the history OF
the nation has there been greater
need OF it. The great problems of
economical and administrative
policy pressing upon the nation for
solution, demand the highest ability
and the most perfect training.
Trained statesmen, trained finan-
ciers, trained economists, America
evidently does not possess. So long
as we continue to send men to Con-
gress, not because they are qualified
to grapple with questions OF public
policy and to devise measures of
vital interest to the nation, but as a
reward for political wire pulling or
ward heeling, we must expect to
witness the deplorable spectacle OF
ignorance aud incapacity discussing
the great questions of State with an
arrogance and confidence OF asser-
ton seldom displayed by men Of
large information, sound judgment
and deep wisdom. So long as Con.
gressmen are voted for because they

The "Poor Gentleman"

A long while ago when Bristol was
growing rich with the profits OF the
West India trade, Of which it had
almost monopoly, stranger took
lodgings there, towards the close OF
the year, and used to visit the coffee
room of the famous old inn, "The
Bush" He would arrive about
noon every day, and calling for a
six-penny glass OF brandy and water,
sit over it until he had carefully
gone through the London paper of
the previous evening. The land
lord OF THE Bush," seeing how care,
full he was to read the London
paper, made it understood that
while he had it Sin hand" no one
else was to expect it. Rather "seedy"
garments, lean body, confirmed
stoop, and limited expenditure Of
daily six-pence, with nothing for the
waiter, clearly showed the news.
paper reader to be poor gentle
man." and by that title he was soon
distinguished. On Christmas eve,
honest John Weeks, the landlord,
anxious that the decayed gentleman
should have one good meal at least
in "The Bush" delicately ntimitated
to him that on the following day he
kept open table, to which he. would
be welcome free OF cost. Punctually
at one o'clock next day the stranger
appeared at "The Bush" in his usual
seedy attire. He partook of the
good dinner with the apparent re-
lish OF a man to whom such feast
was novelty and did justice to the
stunning ale," for which far and
near "The Bush" was famous. The
dinner was concluded. The decayed
gentleman stayed to the last aud
read the London paper in the
kitchen. When he prepared to leave
the landlord respectfully helped him
to put on his overcoat, and at the
same time slipped a guinea into his
hand. The poor gentleman pocket
ed the coin with smile and sigh.
He came no more to "The Bush"
but shortly after "The Bush" itself
was advertised for sale, with all its
valuable good will and appurtenan-
ces and poor Weeks was trembling
at the thought OF being turned out
by new owner, when he received a
missive from Coutts & Co., the Lon
don bankers, to the effect that, il he
wished to acquire the house he occu-
pied, he might draw upon them for
the purchase money. Fastening
to London to thank his benefactors
and convince himself of the genuin
enness of the offer, he was in
troduced to Mr.. Thomas Coutts, the
head of the great banking firm, who
proved to be no other than the
"poor gentleman" "The Bush
guinea" it is said, was afterward
worn, mounted in bracelet, by the

Ed. The INpEPENDENT:-
"Those who live IN glass houses
should not throw stones" The fore
going saying is very applicable to
the Advertiser clique.
During the past week the Adver-
tiser management has seen fit to
admit to its editorial columns mat
ter of an insulting and personal ma
ture. THE INDEPENDENT was the first
paper to come forward and protest
against such ill-timed sentiments.
That protest drew from the Adver-
tiser an apology which no person
who entertains grain of honor or
principle could accept. No con-
'struction other than that which is
plainly stated in the editorial para
graph referred to, can be placed
on it.
Since the publication of the apol-
ogy, other contemporaries have an
nounced their views on the subject
matter, Those views have appar-
emily hit hard, so much so that the
Advertiser on last Saturday morn
ing uttered an editorial squeal. 1t
retaliated by abusing those who
have the common decency to pro-
test against its insulting language
in the following words: "Such in
depreciation is simply an evidence
of a tanned mind which is always on
the lookout to give an immoral des-
picable twist to any expression that
falls from the tongue of mankind.
Only the low-lived and indecent
whose minds are weak from moral
decay would be guilty of even sug-
costing vulgarity in connection with
any statement that has appeared in
this paper"
That assertion may be flung
straight back to the face of the
writer who penned it. Will the Ad-
vertiser state what paper, other than
itself, has shown evidences OF
tainted mind, and has given despic-
able twists to expressions that have
fallen from the tongue of the Oppo-
sition during the past four years,
for the purpose OF furthering the
cause it represents. Who are the
low-lived and indecent, whose minds
are weak from moral decay who have
been guilty of, not only even sug-
costing vulgarity but have written
it, and who also have thrown out
immoral and despicable twists to
their assertions in behalf of their
cause, but the ilk represented by the
Advertiser.
So long as the Advertiser publishes
what it pleases without opposition
it is perfectly contented, but the
moment anybody takes it to task,
it like baby sits down and howls
and cries out, 81 did not mean what
l said," and then abuses those who
point out its error.
Do unto others as you would have
them do to you, Mr.. Advertiser, and
don't you forget it. FAIR PLAY.
