A SeDtunyennrinn Student.

At Warsaw student has just been
graduated at the ripe age of 10. After
passing his matrlculation many years
ago, lack of funds prevented him from
at once proceeding to the university,
and he was compelled to work as a
tutor for twenty years in order to save
enough money to enable him to con-
tinue his studies. At the end of that
time he presented himself at the War
saw Medical Academy and passed the
entrance examination with distinction.
Before he could begin his studies the
Polish rebellion broke out, and Borysik
who was now Al years Of age, threw
himself into the movement with all the
enthusiasm Of youthful revolutionist.
The revolt was suppressed, and Bory-
silk was eXiled to Siberia, where for
thirty-two years he underwent hard
labor in the silver mines. In 1895 he
received free pardon and returned to
Warsaw. In spite Of his age and the
hardships he had endured, Borysik
lost none Of his enthusiasm for medical
work, and took up his studies where
he had left off In 1853. After a two
years course this remarkable man has
now, at the age Of rs, passed the final
medical examination with honors, and
will begin to pratice in Warsaw.-Lon'

THOSE " PARTY RULES"
Communicated }


The wall in a contributed article in |
last weeks COLUMBIAN is rather
tame affair on the subject of the
change OF rules when boss or clique
can no longer manipulate a conven-
ton of questionable delegates. Even
the attempt of the minority to manip-
ulate and control the majority of the
last Democratic convention is rather
cheeky and defiant to say the least.
There was great deal of harping that
no changes could be effected without
a two-thirds vote of the convention of
delegates. But mark the point.
Changes and new rules could be made
by the provisions OF the sold rules" by
two-thirds vote of convention of
delegates without an expression of the
will Of the people at the polls. But
the people instructed for the new rules
by an overwhelming majority OF 3 to I.
Will any sane person contend that the
people, by large majorities, have no
rights to theii expressed will in con-
vention of delegates who may repre-
sent, or n,isrepresent, their expressed
will at the polls ? 1t will be sorry
day when the people, by majorities,
cannot have what they vote for 1t
will be sorry day when boss or
clique can intercept and manipulate
the expressed will of the people at the
threshold of convention, and reap
the fruits of their own victory. No,
gentlemen of the minority, the new
rules were adopted by very large
majority. 1t is positively known that
many Democrats would not have at
tended the primary election If it had
not been for the purpose of adopting
the new rules.
| People who cannot become recon-
ciled to the new conditions will be
obliged to seek other quarters. When
the people join issue they are hard to
down.

Mr.. Dingley,representative,giv gives
the following opinion in reference
to the slow increase of trade, and
itappears a very plausible solution
"lhe fact that asnew tariff bill Is
pending,and that it proposes to in.
crease the ratessof duty on many
articles, has the effect of temper.
arily unsettling the operations OIL
manufacturers. Prices in our mark
ct are based to- a certain extent, Of
course, upon the prices named by
foreigners who invade the Ameri.
can market with their wares. Ou]
own manufacturers are also unset.
tied as respects the prices they will
be obliged to pay for such mater
ials as they are obliged to import
for use in manufacturing, after the
new law goes into effect. It is
plain from these considerations
alone, that the pending tariff bill
contributes somthing to unsettle
business, as it makes it impossible
for the manufacturer to arrange
contracts for pushing his business
But it will be found from an ex
animation of the tables Of import
ations, that the greatest injury
to domestic::manufacturing comes
from the increasing competition
from thesenormous quantities o
foreign goods that are now b,='';:
thrown upon our market in antici-
patton of:.the increase in rates Of
tariff duties. The business depress.

but it will require months to re-

profits and wages, was set in mo.

The Fulda Republican says that
"Worthington may not control No.

Perhaps not: but as matters stand
now, the east end has the larges
representation in republican con-
ventions, the west end can control
democratic conventions, and the
county votes republican, SO she
seems to have the 'bulge' for
some time to come. What are we
going to do about it? Surely the
Republican would not have rs

SKOWHEGAN.
Sold The Judge a Journal.

There was an interesting case on
trial in the Skowhegah court. the other
morning. The crowd of spectators had
just got comfortably settled for the
session. the jury had begun to take
some interest in the case: the counsel
were closely watching the trend of the
evidence: the honorable. ccurt was,
perhaps. meditating on What the evil
dence brought forth; deputy 'sherffs
were lazily lolling up against anything
that would afford substantial sup
port: the sheriff was idly tearing into
little pieces a sheet of fools cap and
not caring much whether the plaintiff
or defendant Won when the door at the
stairway opened and a wee mite u a
boy about six years old stepped unto
the awful presence of the court& 8
He had bundle of Journals utder
his arm and he was one of the, hist-
ling little newslings of Wings 1lew
news agency. He looked askancc at
several spectators and they bought
copies of the paper He was hving
pretty good luck. His sweet. innocent
face uplifted seemed to pave way
into the hearts of men and he made a
number of sales. Down the left aisle
he went looking first toward an idle
attorney seated within the bar and
then at the long rows of spectators.
Some one in the spirit of malicious
mischief whispered to the little fellow
and told him his honor the judge
wanted a paper. The young business
man stepped promptly to the entrance
to the judges bench. walked up the
steps cautiously and entered the space
seldom occupied by any one except
judge during court.
The presiding judge sat facing the
jury with his back toward the child
The audience smiled. few Uttered
audibly. the deputies reused them
selves and started toward the bench.
the sheriff gasped in establishment. the
jurors sat amazed. the counsel were
surprised, but before anything could
be done to prevent the proclamation of
the judicial ermine. the boy had passed
to the side of his honor, attracted his
attention by light touch on the
shoulder, and had handed out
Journal.
Everyone held his or her respective
breaths and wondered What the out
come would be. expecting to see the
court turning in an appealing manner
to the sheriff to have the little fellow
removed. But not so! The learned
man looked unsurpassed upon the boy.
glanced at the paper. and, without
saying a word, put his nand in his
pocket, took therefrom some change,
gave it to the lad. took the paper, the
boy passed out and the court went on.
All this required but about 10 seconds
of time. II was odd to some, amusing
to few. and interesting to others.
The boy is new at the business, is very
young, and he knew no better than to
go up to the judge when he was told
to, and the honorable court grasped
the situation properly.
