CONVERSATIONAL Word RniIder.

Mr.. De Almonds recent speech in the
House of Representatives, in which he
paid his respects to Secretary Morton,
was remarkable effort in many ways,
says the Washington Post. One of these
exhibited the author in his capacity as
word builder, with the result that he has
added to our vocabulary a word longer
than any other, which meets common ac-
ceptance. The longest words to be found
in Worcester, Webster or the Century die
tionary are believed to be palatopharing-
eolaryngeal" and trans substantiationaI-

twenty-five letters. Mr. De Almond 5

1t was at a woman's luncheon, says the
Chicago Tribune, and they had been ex-
changing opinions in regard to the hus-
band question, both as a whole and with
particulars BY the time ice cream was
served the discussion had grown quite
heated, and the hostess was beginning to
look anxious. At the top of the table
the woman in the chiffon vest and her
companion in the fur trimmed gown were
at daggers drawn.
well, L don't care what any one says,

excitedly. HE always rocks me to sleep
when 1 have a sick headache, and he gets
breakfast when the cook is away, and he

fur trimmed gown triumphantly, and she
in turn glared back and took up the para.

with a strong accent upon the posses

after the furnace, and 1 never have to

The woman in the chiffon vest smiled
disagreeably, and the hostess was about

With a smile of a conscious conquerer
she toyed with her menu card and smiled
sweetly at the angry women at the other
end of the table. They were speeches.,
but the woman in the gold-rimmed glasses
who sat in the middle gave her a keen
look and smiled, too.
Something has got to be done for the
protection of us poor spinsters," she said,
merrily, land If any one. else tells a hus-

The pretty woman blushed vividIy.

timidly, and the other women laughed in
the unfeeling manner they so often af-

PoIitic. and Impeachment.

The fact that ali the populists Of the
House voted against the report Of the
committee appointed to investigate the
charges made by Senator Carter against
two superior court judges. indicates that
there was more politics than there We're
facts in the charges.
The charges against the judges were
not proven, The populist members Of the
committee admitted they were not, and
they Joined in the report that was made
to the legislature. The popuhst therefore
refused to accept the finding Of members
Of their own party.
It is true there were democrats who vO-
ted against approving the report, and we
can well understand how men could diff
fer with regard to the merits of it, but as
all the popullst got on one side, it looks
as if they made a party matter of the
charges.
We do not know whether or not stronger
testimony could have been brought against
the judges, but we are satisfied, and are
confident that a majority of the people of
the state are satisfied that the testimony
produced by Senator Garter did not justify
the Impeachment of the judges.
The incident is ended, and there is no
occasion for lengthy discussion Of it. 1t
cost the state 5000 or $1,000 but the money
was well spent because 1t conveys a warn
ing to the judges that they are under the
eyes of watchful people, and that if
their conduct is not in accordance with
the dignity of their office they viii be
called to account

He Paid His Debt.

Gov. Black of New York has paid his
debt to Louis Payn by appointing him
stare superintendent of insurance, an Of
flee with salary of $1,000 a year attached
to it. For weeks before the appointment
was made it was known what the gov
errors intention in regard to it was, and
about all the newspapers of the state told
him that he could not afford to appoint
Mr.. Payn to any office. Mr.. Payn's rec
ord was published, and very bad record
it is. In fact, it is VIGOROUSLY bad.
The governor did not heed the newspa-
pers nor the people who wrote to the
newspapers and to him. And why? Be
cause he owed Mr.. Payn a debt, and he
felt he must pay it in the way Mr.. Payn
wanted it paid. Mr.. Payn insisted upon
being appointed state insurance superin-
tendent, and he got what he wanted. The
governor misused the trust the people con-
fided TO him to pay the debt he owed
Mr.. Payn. Is it not strange that those
who are the servants of the people do
just as they please with what belongs to
the people; are, in fact, the peoples mas
tiers?
Mr.. Payn managed Gov. Blacks cam
paign for the nomination for governor,
and managed 1t successfully. If 1t had
not been for him Mr. Black would not
now be the governor of New York. 1t
was said, directly after the nomination
was made, that Mr.. Platt had brought
it about. That statement, it has been
discovered, was a mistake. Mr.. Platt,
however. has never publicly announced
that it was. He kept silent and enjoyed
the reputation of being great managing
politician.
1t il safe to say Gov. Black did not
want. to appoint Mr.. Payn. The opposi-
ton to the appointment was so great that
the whole state of New York was inter-
ested in the appointment. He had, how
ever, accepted Mr.. Payn's services and
he had TO pay Mr.. Payn's price. He ought
not to have accepted Mr.. Payn's serv-
ices. If he had not he might not haze
been governor, but would 1t not have been
better to have lost the governorship than
to have secured it at such a fearful price?
His act in appointing such am unfit man
to such an important Office will be an
obstacle in the way of his further poIit-
ical advancement. The fact will be con-
stantly recalled that he saddled a bad
man upon the people in order to pay a
political debt. 1t ought to be sufficient
to prevent him from getting another Of
flee.

1t is thought in Southern Florida that
the cold wave Of last week was rather
good thing. 1t retarded the flow of the
sap in the trees and consequently the
growth of new and tender vegetation. Ex-
cept for the cool spell, the sap would have
begun to rise earlier than II now Will. with
the result that If cold wave had struck
the trees later, much damage might have
resulted. AS 1t is, IL a cold wave should
come along during the latter part of this
month. 1t would most likely find the trees
in a condition to hold their own against
it. 1t is a mistake TO think that an orange
tree is as delicate as a hot house plant.
Under ordinary circumstances it is rather
hardy.

The distress from failure of crops In the

crat says there are not Jess than 10000 peo-
pie in the northern parishes who are suf-
ferins for the necessities Of life. Efforts
are being made to relieve them. but so far
the supply has not been commensurate
with the urgent demand. Starvation stares
the people in the face. In some sections
the conditions are almost as bad
as in India. Horses and cattle
are dying of starvation. and the people are
able barely to keep soul and body together
