CHITWOOD CHIPS.

In last weeks LEADER we MOTTO

which sharp criticism Of the Chit

the undersigned. In the first place
he takes exceptions to my attach
ing Rev" TO the name of Mr..
Badger, which as l am informed, is
a minister of the same sect to
which friend IN. Y. W." belongs.
In reply 1 would say I did so as a
matter OF courtesy, as it is custom
ary in writing about a minister to
attach Rev. to his name, and as
Mr.. Badger has made no protest I
have no apology to offer. Mr..
IN. 7. W." quotes my statement
that Mr.. Badger represents the
Disciple or Christian Church, to
which Friend M. L. w. replies that
he does not know that there is such
a church in existence. Now, l am
surprised that Friend IN. 7. W."
is not better informed. l am quite
certain the majority of the readers
of this have heard of the $50 called)

THE EXPERT rIATTER.

expert IS not yet made a public
hle, the order of the court being
that il be continued in their hands
pending settlement. 1t also
ordered that all files and papers
accompanying the report he con-
tinued in the hands of the court.
1t seems 10 us that this action by
the court was unbuSinesSlike and
unfair toward the two principal
officers interested and their bonds.
men. Practically the only thing
filed by the court was a balance
sheet showing certain balances due
from the sheriff and clerk. The
source of these balances is almost
unattalnable unless the balance of
the report is filed. There are
claims that cannot be sustained by
the court i'll suit, and we do not
believe that they will be so foolish
as to even sue for them. But tax
ing the claims as they stand the
officers and their bondsmen certain
ly have right to know every de-
tail of these claims before a settle
ment is made.
There is one or two propositions
that must be agreed upon before a
settlement can be reached in any
event. The matter of salary and
fees must be settled. In order to
bring the clerk and sheriff out be-
hind the court, or the expert, dated
the salary as set by the county court
last December, back to July I, 1894.
From July I, 1894 to January 6,
1896, everybody supposed that these
officers were on the fee system.
They collected the usual fees for
their work and that was all there
was to it, Then the point was
raised that the salary law applied
to Lincoln county and the county
court concluded that such was the
case. Then Judge Burt and Com
missioners Williams and Bristow
made an order that the clerk and
sheriff should continue to collect fees
and that these fees collected should
be the amount of their salaries.
This agreement held until July I,
1896. Now there was two years
time when there was no dispute as
to the salaries. Now comes along
another court and sets a salary for
these officers and dates it back over
two years and then charges up the
county officers with the difference
between the fees they have received
and the salary the court pretends to
set. Of course these officers will
not submit to it. The county court
exercised a power that even congress
cannot use. They not only pass
law setting the salary of these offic-
ers but they make stheir law back
over two years and try to make the
officers settle according to it. If
Judge Stearns and Commissioners
Williams and Goodwin had a right to
set the salary of the clerk and
sheriff, then it is just as reasonable
to suppose that Judge Burt and
Commissioners Williams and Bris-
tow had the same right. And if
Stearns, Williams and Goodwin have
a right to undo what a previous
court done and make the officers
pay the difference, then the new
county court that will come in on
July I, 1897, can undo the work of
this court and cut the salaries of
the officers in half, date their law
back four years, and bring the
officers and their bondsmen up and
make them settle the difference.
According to this theory it would
be an endless chain and the officers
and their bondsmen would never be

RUEUS CHOAIE.
He Stood Easily at the Head of All the
Forensic Speakers of His Day.


Again, Mr. Choate was an orator and
an orator with range scarcely paralleled
In our country He stood easily at the
head of all forensic speakers against whom
he was pitted He held the breathIess at
tention of a senate where fingered the
echoes of Webster's voice and where Clay
and Calhoun were still to be heard, and he
was a first rate favorite on the platform of
the convention and the lyceum at time
when both teemed with fascinating and
Instructive speakers. To occupy first
class rank in three such highly specialized
lines of oratory is rare indeed vet no one
ever disputed Mr.. Choates right to that
position Before MIR. Webster had been
dead nine months Mr.. Choate delivered his
eulogy at Dartmouth college, and Mr.
Everett, speaking of the Grafton in the
next month, called the orator "our match
less Choate who has just electrified the
land with burst of eloquence not easily
to be paralleled in the line of time {"
Founding his oratory upon the solid basis
of profound learning, whether in law, in
government or in literature, he kindled
the mass of all these acquisitions by his
rhetorical genius into a consuming heat
and dazzling light all his own.
Mr. Choate's oratory was distinguished
for an intense richness and exuberance of
language, caught in no slight measure
from his favorite Cicero This sometimes
makes his speeches difficult to read The
overlooking sentences are too long. The
teeming fancy, the bounteous illustration,
verge on the grotesque. But they were
meant for the hour. to he heard not read,
and two things carried of every vestige of
tedium or incopgruity. First Mr.. Choate 8

so striking that it held heattention of his
auditors with an influence that was mag

liam Pinkney was famous, as was Erskine
in England, for the extreme. almost fop-
pish, elegance and splendur of his appear
ance. Henry Clay presented singular
combination OF features the most uncouth
that could easily be imagined, with gal
lantry of delivery and magnetism Of tone
that generally captivated any new hearers,
but mingled with a great imperiousness
and defiance that made not few enemies
in the senate. Seargent S. Prentiss second
to no American speaker in his amazing
power of arousing enthusiasm, offered at
the outset a presence as insignificant as
st. Paul's Mr.. Webster massive stature
and deep set eyes are familiar to all, though
the slow manner and ponderous diction Of
later years belonged to the days of his
greatest triunphs. But the power of Mr..
Choate's look and manner was something
of a different order His shock of raven
hair, his wildly flashing eye, his gaunt
frame, his sallOw cheek, his restless action,
and, above all, his strangely musical voice
and rhYthmical delivery, arrested and held
attention in an uncanny, a witchlke. man

Maori TattooinR,

When Abel Jansen Iasman discovered
New Zealand, an achievement dated as
long ago rs the days in which our first
Charles was cndeavoIing to settle old scores
with his faithful commons, he observed
no tattooing on the faces of the natives;
hence it is suggested that the art of Moko
arose after his day But Tasman only saw
Maoriland Whether spurred onward by
the dread of scurvy or drawn homeward by
the charms of Maria van Dieman, at any
rate he fled from the islands without set
ting foot on them What he did not see or
did not note of them and their Inhabitants
was so much that there need be no surprise
that his,distant glimpses of the Maoris did
not reveal to- him the blue tattoo lines on
their brown faces. But that the New Yea
land Maoris brought tattooing with them
from Polynesia is a matter of reasonable
gertrude. Their Instruments used for
marking were virtually the same as those
of their tropical both, for in
stance, before the iron age of the nineteenth
century often used the wing bones of sea
birds to make their tiny chisels Both OBJ

male patients while undergoing the proc
ess of puncturing were sacred, immensely

OCEAN ROPES.
Marine Plant That Grows a Stem Three
Hundred Feet In Length.

Hundred Feet In Length.
The largest marine plant, and probably
one Of the highest plants known on this
globe, is gigantic seaweed, the nereo-
cystis, the stem of which has been found
to grow as much as 20 feet long 1t was
first discovered not far from the Alaskan
coast, but has since been found floating in
various parts of the Pacific ocean along
the American and Asiatic shores This
seaweed grows in a very curious manner.
Large quantities of it are found at little
distance from shore and at depths not ex-
cecding 300 feet. On loamy bottom large
thickets of this plant take root and stem
of the thickness of ordinary cord grows
upward. AT its top there is a pear shaped
balloon, which grows with the stem, and
when it reaches the surface of the water it
often measures 6 feet and more in length,
with a diameter of feet inches. This
balloon has, If course, an upward tend
9ncy, and keeps the stem growing until it
floats on the surface of the water From
the top of this balloon IA large tuft Of
strong, thick, spadelike leaves grow out,
which originally are not more than feet
long, and which grow and split until from
the balloon roseike growth of from so
to IS feet in diameter covers the water
This gigantic weed grows in such quaint
ties that near the shore large meadowlike
islands are formed, which impede noviga-
ton. Tho natives of the Aleutan islands
make manifold usage of this plant From
their strong dried stems they make ropes
ESQ feet and more long, while balloons of
this weed furnish them with large vessels
after they are dried, the smaller ones be-
ing used in their boats to bail out water
The long leaves, after being dried, are cut
into narrow strips and used for wicker
work, the making of baskets and similar
furniture st. Louis Globe Democrat.
