 Vanity and mean shoes cramp and distort them until it has become the fashion now for some shoemakers to try and ease the corn agony of the victims of their poor shoes by hiring a corn doctor to take out the corns free.
 That's modern Mercy with vengeance.
 Now. I sell shoes. too That is my
 sole business and expect to stick to
 my last.
 But this l will do. I'll dis charge any clerk in my en- ploy who attempts to sell a shoe to man, woman or child, that will create corns, just for the sake of making a sale.
 No shoeman sells any better or finer shoes than I.
 No shoeman sells them for less. In this day of jugger- naut crushing competition the man who charges more than his neighbors soon puts up his shutters.

the Sheriff, SO that each of them could
see and be seen by the voter. 1t was an
exciting scene to an inexperienced
young man like myself. When a. voter
came up every candidate began to So
licit his vote and press his own name
upon him, and as many of the voters
cared very little about the candidates
except the particular favorite he came
TO support, I think 1t very likely that
the skillful in these struggles sometimes
obtained votes that would otherwise
have been given to another. These
scenes were occasionally enlivened by
sallies of wit between the voter and the
candidate.
Viva voce" voting gave way to the
printed ballot, but each party furnished
such as it wished, and colors and lines
and distinguishing marks soon de-
form colored ballot came in as a step
in evolution, and then the uniform
sized ballot folded to fixed dimensions
But this was not enough, because the
way of folding and holding the ballot,
or of carrying it, enabled goods" to be
delivered and the tyrannous to lord it
over the dependent.
Then came the Australian system
with the blanket ballot, the secret booth
and the x mark by uniform stamp.
But this method thus far is cumbrouS
in it's machinery; and then, too, the
push" has found ways to weaken it.
One desiring to deliver goods puts his
thumb on the ink pad, and stamps 1t on
the ballot at a point agreed upon, for
instance. Then, too, there is the posi-
bility of a corrupt board stamping bal
lots with extra KS in order to mega
tive them. Lastly there is the posi-
bility of corruption in counting.
The evolution of the methods of
voting brings us naturally to the ma
chine. which has no ballot, no ballot
box and no stamping outfit. 1t needs
no tally sheet nor tally clerks, as we
now have them. It is locked and sealed
after being placed at Zero" and deliv-
cred to the election boards, and it must
be returned locked and sealed as in the
first instance to the proper authority;
it remains locked and sealed until the
vote is canvassed, when and only then
are the seals broken.
When the election is concluded the
machine shows the result just as
counter on a press, or locomotive, or
other machine makes record of the
number of revolutions. When the can
vassing board has taken off the totals,
the machine is unlocked the counters
set at zero" again, and there is an end
to recounting, which is thing very de-
sirable to abandon. New York got away
from it long ago by ordering the ballots
destroyed so soon as the polls closed
and the tallies were made.
However looked at, then, the voting
machine promises to be another step in
advance, every one of which has been
preservative of liberty, and an addi-
tional guarantee Of the perpetuity of
government by the governed.

Justice called the Bailiff aside and ask
ed In whisper:
What's the law on the p'int?'
You can't do it," replied the Bailiff;
"it don't come under your Jurisdiction"
We're willing to pay cash for It,"
said the husband, not understanding
the nature Of the consultation. 1--WE

The Justice looked grave. Then, ad-
justing his spectacles and addressing
the man, said:

that weren't for me ter separate hus-
band an wife, an yit you not only
take up the time er this here valuable

SAVED HIS BROTHERS NECK
A Successful Trick Played on a Ne
braSka Judge,

Some years ago I was on the bench
in a Nebraska circuit said Judge A.
r. Simmons of Omaha to a reporter.
"A murder was committed under rather
peculiar circumstances. A man named
Bill Chadwick and a man named Tom
Plummer We're enemies, and had been
for some time, each having threatened
the lie OF the other. A reconciliation
was effected, and one day the two went
hunting together. Plummer returned
home alone and said he had bought
Chadwick's horse and the latter had
gone to Kansas.
considerable suspicion existed, but
Chadwick had no relatives and there
was no way of disproving the story.
Several months later the bones of a
man We're found where 1t was known
Chadwick and Plumlner had been to-
gether on the day the former disap-
peared. By means of the boots and
popularity Of the teeth, the remains
were identified as those of Chadwick.
Plummer was arrested, tried, convicted
and sentenced to be hanged Three or
four days before the time fixed for
the execution a man entered my office
and saluted me:
'Howd'y, Judge?'
How are you,' I answered. What
can I do for you?'
reckoned you'd know me- he said.
I'm Bill Chadwick. the feller Tom
Plummer was convicted Of killin''
L was naturally greatly surprised,
and somewhat doubtful as to the truth
OF his story But he stuck to it under
the most rigid cross examination.
Il don't like Tom none too WELL he
said, but I sold him the hoss all right
and I went to Kansas. 1 didn't hear
about the trial till after It was over, so
when l did hear I thought it would be
a shame to let Tom hang, and I came
back
Il took the man to the Prosecuting
Attorney, who had known Chadwick
slightly, and he identified the man as
the one supposed to be murdered. We
took the first train to Lincoln, reaching
there just in time to secure a pardon
for Plummer. Both Plummer and
Chadwick disappeared as soon as the
former was released, and l had ceased
to think about the strange affair when
I changed circuits with another Judge,
and while sitting in the hotel I saw
Chadwick pass. I called the landlords
attention to him, and asked if Chadwick
lived there
Bill Chadwick? No, he don't live
anywhere. He's dead. That mans
name is Plummer. He does look enough
like Chadwick to pass for him. His
brother was the man who killed Chad
wick, and then got pardoned in some
way or other, 1 don't know how And
didn't tell him" Washington Star.

So much, then, for having a navy that
is of a character inviting for men to
enter the service. Another difficulty
arises, namely, there is lack of men
in sufficient number to man our ships,
and when the new ones are commits
stoned the officials say that they will
have to so far reduce the forces on the
ships now in service that not a ship in
any of our fleets will have a full COM
plement of men. Of course, green
hands can be had, but these are very
undesirable. What the Government
wants is men who have had much sea
experience in the merchant marine.
The thing to do, then, is to build UP the
latter. 1t was one of the expressly
emphatic planks in the Republican
platform that this should be done, and
that was one of the things which went
before the people and received their
Endorsement in the election of Mr. Nc
kinley. 1t Is to be hoped, therefore,
administration will be to propose
measures for the restoration of the
American merchant marine to its one
time Importance. This can be done in
the judgment of the Republican party
only by such discrimination in favor of
American built and American manned
ships as will transfer the carriage of
our foreign commerce from foreign to
American bottoms manned by Ameri-
can sailors.

Counting Notes in a Sunbeam.

Lecturing at the Institution of Civil
Engineers on atmospheric dust Mr..
Fridlander said that observations show
that at an elevation of 600 feet there
are 800 dust particles in a cubic cent?
meter, while at S,400 feet there are only
513, and at 13,600 only 151 dust parti-
cles. Over the Indian Ocean the aver
age number of dust particles a cubic
centimeter was less than 500 for seven
out of nine days, and on five days was
less than 400. During a thick fog in
the Atlantic the air contained 3,120 dust
particles a cubic centimeter, while in
the clear region just beyond the fog
there We're only 2S0 dust particles

RELEASE OF A GYPSY MOTH.
A Careless Frenchman's Experiments
Have Led to Trouble.

On a certain ill-omened day in 1869
a gentle breeze rippled through the
streets of a quiet town in Eastern
Massachusetts,, says the Springfield
Republican" 1t left chimneys un-
harmed and hardly rippled a tree, yet if
it had been a cyclone it could hardly
have done more damage, for in bare
little frame tenement house on side
street stood Pandora's box full Of
troubles waiting to be spread broadcast
over the land, and the breeze furnished
the needed key. Presently the owner
Of the house and Of Pandora's box.
Frenchman, known to his neighbors for
his curious experiments in silk raising
and for his absorption in the study of
strange insects, was seen searching
anXiously in the grass outside his win
dow. People who saw him said that
he seemed much disturbed at the fall
ure of his quest Well might he be,
for he had just let loose one of the
plaques of Egypt upon a fair and fer
tile land. He had lost 'le zigzag," and
the new world has gained the gypsy
moth
Mr.. Trouyelot, the silk grower of Med
ford, can hardly expect to have his
name pleasantly remembered among
his quondam townsmen and country
men, but he should be given credit
both for intelligence to foresee the con-
sequences of his negligence and for the
candor Immediately to give notice of
the danger to which the public was
exposed. But his warning fell on deaf
ears. No one realized that the pest,
which is a nuisance rather than a dan
ger in Europe, would gain such head
way In a new home, and, freed from it's
hereditary enemies, was to deviate
wherever it went. It would have been
economy, if the future could have been
foreseen, to appropriate S1,000,00O, If
need be, to quarantine the whole neigh
borhood, to fell the trees, to raze the
houses to the ground, to plow the fields
under and leave that part of the town
a desert. But no one rose to the emer-
gency until it was too late.

A MATTER OF PUBLICITY.

In the Charter Committees the prop
voted down. It was stated that the
city could rely upon the press giving
notice in it's news columns of passage
of ordinances, and those interested
could look them up.
To put it in the mildest form, this is
tsponging," a thing the city can Ill af-
of the press are concerned, IL the city
thus openly proposes that the bust
ness Of issuing newspapers shall be
charged with duty Of the city, the Of
ficials may discover that they have
made mistake.
A municipality has no right to ask
it should do for itself. The press will, of
course, give It's readers the news, but
it rarely If ever publishes ordinances in
full; it does no more than indicate that
laws Of a certain character have been
passed. This is not the publicity the
lawmaker should give to his enact
ments. 1t is the right Of the people to
know in fullness just what their repre-
sentatives have enacted. Very fire.
quently those things have been made
unlawful which were before lawful and
no notice has been given of the change
Very frequently parties have been be-
fore our courts on charges Of violating
people were unaware of the unlawful
ness of the act, and in such cases the
courts have always dismissed the
charges.
Aside from this consideration, how
ever, 1t is the right of the people to have
the local laws printed in full, and the
right Is at once parsimonious and un-
just, and is insensible to the duties and
obligations of Legislators. There is
but one right way of making ordinances
public, and that is through the columns
of the daily press. The newspaper Is
read by all the people. An ordinance
published. if no more than once, will, by
such publicity, invariably come to the
knowledge of those Immediately inter
ested. Moreover, publication enables
the people to keep copies Of the or
dinances for frequent reference. Post
ing is a weak and insufficient means Of
publishing a law. 1t necessitates the
travel of the people day by day to the
official bulletin board, where at best the
ordinance can be read only at a great
disadvantage.
1t was objected in the committee that
If publication is made essential to the
validity of an ordinance it Will be diff
cult at distant dates to prove that pub
lication has been complied with. Not
by any means, for the board can require
its Clerk TO enter the facts with the
dates as part of the history Of the bill at
the foot of the ordinance, as he now
does the fact and date of passage. and
for the matter of that it can be pro-
vided that such entry shall be conclu-
sive evidence of the fact.
The charter revisors should recon
slider their judgment, get above the day
of small things, and do that in this rGat-
ter which common justice. prudence
and the rights of the people demand.

AT a championship game Of football
near San Francisco on Saturday half a
dozen of the players We're carried from
the field more or less injured. The dis
patches of yesterday tell us that a
young player at Lawrence, Kas., was
killed on the same day. One of the
most lamentable deaths of a promis-
ing young man in this State has been
the result of the football game If
census of the crippled and internally
injured from playing the game could
be taken We have no doubt the list
would be a most formidable and horri-
BILE one. Is it not full time that pub
lie sentiment should frown down the
too boisterous and certainly danger
GUS sport?
