TrIcIxs OF one Lobbxistr.

The members of the new cabinet are
learning some of the tricks of Washington
lobbyists and habitual office-hunters, says
cago Record. The other day, when Mr..
Bliss, the new Secretary of the Interior,
began TO suspect what kind of a job he
has struck" the telephone bell rang, and
the messenger who answered it said that
his old friend Gen. Blank, wanted to
know Il he could see him for a moment.
Mr. Bliss said yes, and a few minutes
later Gen. Blank entered the door and
greeted the new secretary like a long
lost brother. MIR. Bliss led the way to
little private retiring room, and was clos
eted with his friend, the general, for
about five minutes. When he reappeared
he said to ex-Secretary Francis, who had
been explaining the routine of the office
to him:
My old friend. Gen. Blank, asked me TO
sign little order he has prepared. He
says it is mere routine. Is there any OBJ
jection?"
mo" said Mr.. Francis, laughing. at
is true that the order Is merely routine,
but it confirms the decision of Commits
sioner Lamoreaux in the Chicago lake
front case, and involves the title to $l6,-
100000 worth of property. You can obilge
your friend if you like but if you do so
the petitioners will have won their case
so far as this department is concerned
Mr. Bliss gasped, turned a little pale,
and the lines deepened around his mouth.
He took off his glasses and wiped them,
and went into the little room where his
friend, Gen. Blank, was waiting for him.
In very few seconds Gen. Blank passed
through the Office and out into the corri-
dor without saying good-by.

"The hardships of an actors life are not
appreciated by the public" said Sol Smith
Russell recently according to an eX-
change. "They are not recognized because
they do not appear in the performance. I
remember an incident which brought all
this home to me. We had packed up after
the performance at a overnight stand and
gone to take the train due at midnight.
When we reached the station we found the
train was late, and we were forced to sit
around the waiting room until nearly
o'clock in the morning. When the train
came at last we bounded aboard. disgust
ed, cross and uncomfortable. We could
not sleep, and it was o'clock in the morn
ing when we turned out of the car at our
next stand. a CHASTITY pale-faced lot.
The baggage smashers hurried our
trunks and boxes out upon the platform
with gleeful savagery and as I looked
about for some sort of hack to take us to
a hotel, I heard the station agent who
was assisting the baggage man to get our
trunks out, say to the train man: What
is all this baggage, anyway? Oh said
the baggage man. with infinite disgust in
his tone, it belongs to some show com
pany, I reckon. Anything to get out of
workin'.' That's a fact; blame EN-
growled the station agent, and 1 smiled
a wan smile and went and informed the
company that we would have to walk
with our hand baggage TO the hotel, about
eight blocks. Anything to get out of
work! Dear me; if l had told that story
to the company, l think the station agent
would have been mobbed."

The Brunswick Times means well, but
it should be quite sure it knows some
thing of what 1t is talking about before
it undertakes to criticise it's contempora-
ries.
A few days ago the Morning News took
occasion to say that it had no sympathy
with the demagogues who go about the
country saying the farmers are going
from bad to worse" nor with the news
papers which are continually asserting
that the material condition of the farm
ers is deplorable. The Morning News
stated, and quoted some facts to sustain
it's statement, that the farmers, as a
class, are better Off now than they have
been in long time. The Brunswick
Times, commenting on our article, said;
''Our contemporary Is laboring under a
painful delusion."
We are glad to find that the Morning
News is sustained by so good an author
ity as the Hon. ]. Pope Brown, president
of the Georgia Agricultural Society. At
the meeting OF the society in Augusta
last Tuesday, President Brown said the
farmers and farming interest of Georgia
were in better condition than he had
known them in twenty years, and he
would be willing TO have them guaranteed
to remain unchanged for the next twenty
years.
1t may be that the Brunswick Times
knows more about the material condition
Of the farmers than the Morning News
and President Brown, but we don't think
the public will ever think It does unless
il supports its claim to such knowledge
with something more than mere assor-
tons. May not our contemporaries point
OF view. from his tripod IN the city by the
sea be too limited for the range of OBJ
servations he essays?

The Prize Fight.

1.-THE day we celebrate" on this seven
teenth of March is not so much st. Pat
rick's day as it is the day of the great
fight at Carson. Corbett and Fitzsim-
mons have pushed the grand old patron
saint of ireland out of prominence in the
calendar as they have pushed the news
from Washington, Havana and Athens
out of the important places in the col
umns of the newspapers. For the time
being, the center of the United States is
the square ring in Carson, and all eyes
are focused upon 1t. Cuba might cry in
vain to Uncle Sam to-day; he is busy.
The tariff may go to the bow-wows, tenn
porarily; your uncle is going to see that
prize mill opened, whether any other
mills are opened are not. The old gen.
tleman is powerfully opposed to prize
fighting. upon principle; but when there
is a really good match on, between heavy
weights for the championship of the
world, ne suspends business for the mo-
ment, until 1t has been decided which is
the better man. There is probably not a
banker In the business who would not
lose a quarter of an hour in the busy part
of the day TO witness a well matched dog
fight, even if he had previously exerted
himself to keep the dogs from fighting
That is about the way it is with Uncle
Sam
The agony of suspense with regard to
the mill will soon be over. Before sunset

has promised that he will make a mum

could be wished, for the morals of the
country, that both had spoken prophet
cally. Indeed it might prove sautary if
only the half came true 1t is matter
of doubt by the way, If one of the prin-
ciples could be punished under the law If
he were to literally knock the head off,
or make a mummy of the other. A
lawyer of Carson was quoted in the dis
patches the other day as saying: There
win be no law between them. Their
fight and all of it's consequences are legal
lied" That is to say. it is a matter of
doubt If an indictment for manslaughter,
or even assault and battery, could be
brought if one of the fighters killed the
other In the ring. They have the laws
permission to hammer each other to their
hearts content, and that is all there is
to 1t. The probabilities. however, are
against a fatality. The chances are that
both fighters win come out of the contest
with whole skins and bones. and only tenn

the result of booming the spirit of prize
fighting and of gambling. And the gam

The Island of Hoo.

From the New York Sun.
o, 1 know a land where the Willywig
grows
Where the blossom bird plays with his
bill,
Where the Bunts stroll about with rings
on their toes,
And the Moon makes her home on the
hill.
She watches the children, the pretty old
Moon,
From, her castle above the Boo-Band:
And when she's away on her trip every
noon,
The Man in the Moon takes hand.
It's the prettiest country you ever did
see,
This island far out on the Boo,
With the apple-green sky and its baby
blue trees,
A landscape just ready for two.
There's a nice little bridge made of marsh
mellow paste,
Der lovely hot chocolate stream;
Silver spoons grow by dozens if you care
for a taste,
And a Paupau will hand you the cream.
There's nothing to fear in this far-away
land.
This land just under the Moon,
So bring all the children; Wen float far
away
on the wings of the sweet afternoon.
