Though it is generally understood thai
the Vice President is an unimportant
Government official, save in the contin
gency of the death of the President, Mr.
Hobart has made considerable reputation
since he assumed Office. He is often con-
suited by the President, and has secured a
goodly amount of patronage. But more
important than this is his success as pre-
siding officer, his facility of keeping run OF
Senate proceedings, and his memory of
tariff matters, all of which have been very
useful during the tariff debate, though
they have not attracted much public at
tention. -SpyingJfeld Republican.

The day came, last week, when
we put on the market five car loads
OF splendid wheels at $22 so, but we
had to agree not to divulge the ex-
cellent makers name, because he
hopes to get something near the old
price next season. The thousand
wheels were sold in a jiffy.
Now we move forward another
step.
We have become the owners OF a
splendid lot of wheels, made to sell
for 800 and never reduced to less
than SIS, except IN the case of one
agent closing out a small lot at his
own loss. These wheels are we'll
known, and the makers permit US,
because of the largeness of the
transaction, to use their famous
name

popularity known as the Gold Crank
Falcons.
These 800 Wheels for Men will
be

will be

They are perfect. In various sizes
and colors. Tires-HIartford, Vim.

The fact that no bicycle can get
a place on our floor, or our guaran-
tee under it, unless it is all right
underneath the enamel and inside
the tubing and throughout its bear
ings, settles the quick distribution
of this-the best offering we have
yet made of Bicycles.

WHEN Assemblyman Wildes introduced
a resolution in the Legislature demanding
action to recover from ex-Secretary of
State Kelsey, fees which he is supposed to
be unlawfully possessed of, the Headers"
of the party were opposed to any action
and the resolution was killed. But there
appears to have been sudden awakening
and Governor Griggs has directed the At
torney General to bring suit against Mr..
Kelsey to recover the fees referred to- 1t
is stated that this suit is to be a sort of
friendly affair, the result of conference
between the Governor, Attorney General
and Mr.. Kelsey's counsel, and that the
latter is willing to have the question of
legality tested in the courts. This is quite
refreshing, and it is very pleasant to know
that Mr. Kelsey is willing, otherwise it
might embarrass matters 1t is to be hoped
the case will be pushed rapidly 1t has
already been neglected too long. By the
report of the Senate Investigating Com
mittee, Mr.. Kelsey has at least $50. 900 to
which his title is very doubtful The suit
about to be brought should not stop at the
fee point. By the report of the committee,

more trouble is experienced with coro-
ners' bills than with any Others" said
Freebooter Darnell at the meeting of the
board on Wednesday. That is true. For
years the bills presented by the coroners
have created an annoyance at every meet
ing. Coroners seem to have nothing in
view but fees, and every chance to swell
those items is quickly seized. The two
bills turned down by the board last week
were undoubtedly unjust charges In
neither case was an inquest necessary, as
the burial cert 6cate could have been is
sued upon the mere view of the coroner.
Some persons have questioned the right
of the Board of Freeholders to refuse pay
ment of these bills when they are pre-
scented in conformity with the law, proper
ly attested and sworn to- 1t is claimed
that the law gives the coroner absolute
authority. This is not so. The board has
a right to decline to pay any bill which,
in its judgment. is wrong, and it is its
duty to call halt on any official who is
derelict. If there is any doubt on this
subject let those whose bills are turned
down bring suit and have the courts set
tie the point The Board of Freeholders
are pursuing the right course, and refusal
to pay all illegal bills will have the effect
of compelling some officials to use the
discretionary powers" the law clothes
them with, and which one coroner, at
least, knows how to exercise, as not one
of Coroner Grobler's bills has been criti-
cised.

feeling of commiseration. His man.
ner toward his fellow creatures is arro-
CANT and the bond of fellowship he
holds as mockery. He usually pro-
vokes a strong feeling of hatred with
in those whom he comes in contact
with, and as far as kindly word or
compassion is concerned, he is like
marble statue. Where the generous
man would stop and try to encourage
his respondent brother by kindly words
of advice or material assistance to keep
the grim specter poverty from the
threshold; the cold, hard-hearted man
would silently pass on with vindictive
leer on his cOuntenance. Where the
kind-hearted man would be praised
and lauded wherever his name was
mentioned, the other would be re-
spOnded to with jests and ridicule.
Where the one would possess, under ad-
verse conditions, good-natured dispo-
sition, the other would lose all self-con-
troll over his excitable temperament
and his brutal instincts would impel
him to commit actions that would
cause his satanic majesty to smile ap-
provingly. In society, business or rec
reation, his society is eagerly sought
for, where the other would be ignored
as undesirable company.
The generous man very seldom gives
utterance to harsh command that is
undeserved. There may be times when
a sharp command is an absolute neces-
sity, and in these moments the circum-
stances may be such as cause him to
lose his self-command and be exceed.
ingIy harsh. But Notwithstanding this,
heis not to be compared to the ungener-
Gus man.
What paradise this world would
be if generosity was to take the place
of mems ambition to accumulate for.
tunes. Poverty, misery and the poor
house would be unknown. Crime,
with all It's attending vicissitudes, it's
prisons and the vexed problem of the
reformation of the inmates, and the
prison labor question, would undoubt-
edly be solved. The feeling of bitter.
ness existing between capital and the
wage-earner could easily be adjusted.
Tyranny and oppression would be rele-
gated to the rear if man would cultivate
the generous traits of his nature in
equal proportion to that of the avari-

master and slave, king and people, and

master and slave, king and people, and
union the element which gave to this
idea the requisite strength by which
to operate. So too, the idea of rule, of
law; at first it was "you shall do so and
so because have the strength to make
you and will make you do so and so;
am leader because of my strength;
rule because am chief; 1 govern be-
cause I am king" The transition is up
held because of the grasp the idea has
upon the social life of the subject class.
What at first was compulsion finally
seems necessary to hold society to-
gether, united ideas of similar import
supply the power, the adhesive force,
which law exerts upon the individual.
The individual respects law, tries to
maintain government, only when both
respect and maintain him. So, too, we
can trace this union of ideas las prime
factor in the production of civilization,
or in any phase of life,} on through the
realms of art, literature and religion.
But, whether it be Ra or Bel, Melkarth
or Jehovah, Zeus or Jove, Buddha or
Confucius, Zoroaster, Mohammed, or
Christ, unity of ideas is the cement
that binds each together in their differ
ences. So in the various forms of art
it is union of ideas that united and
maintained for centuries the gigantic
grandeur of the sculptured colossi, the
angular reliefs, the peculiar and hid
eous defOrmities which constituted
the artistic standards of Egypt, or the
more natural and graceful Assyrian
types; or the ideal beauty of Grecian
productions. Each standard differed,
yet, only a union of ideas could pro-
duce for each nation their different
standard.
1t is unnecessary to carry the Illus
tration farther. None will dispute the
fact that each and every leading idea
that the human mind produces and
promulgates, whether those ideas fos-
ter or retard civilization, every idea
that unifies all or part of society, that
sends that society forward on its march
of progress, depends upon the union of
individuals, and individual ideas of
similar import, developed along their
divergent pathways; like the spokes of
a wheel, however, they all support the
center, the hub, and that center, civili-
zation. LEONARD.

"RATTLING" A WITNESS.

The courtroom was crowded when
the case of Blake against Pettingill
was called. 1t was what the law terms
tort case; in other words, a damage
suit. Mr., Blake had been driving by
the Pettingill house, when Mr.. Pettin-
gill's dog dashed out and began to
bark. The horse reared and kicked,
and finally fell. Mr.. Blake was thrown
out, his arm was broken, and both horse
and buggy were damaged. Mr.. Blake
was therefore suing Mr.. Pettingill for
five hundred dollars damages. Several
witnesses told the story of the accident.
The most convincing statement was
made by an old man who saw the whole
affair, and described it in simple and
straightforward way.
The defendants lawyer was a young
man named Haskell, recently come
from neighboring city. Success in
one or two cases had given him rep
utation for "smartness" which he was
eager to sustain, and the mild faced old
witness, who told such matter-of- fact
tale, seemed to him promising subject
for vigorous cross-examination.
"Now you say" the lawyer began,
"that you were near the horse and dog,
and saw what happened?"

"Just how near were you?"

lawyer.
