Before donning the ermine. Judge John
son practiced law in jefferson county,
says the Denver Times. One day Frank
Mazza rushed into his Office. and abruptly
asked:
Are you fren' O. mine, judge?"
Why, yes. of course; why do you
ask?''
We'll, just want to tell you your ma
Dor, Shamberliu, he schwindle me. He
got me down to his farm. and trade
horse with me, and he schwindle me out

beeznis about it, judge, for it would take
mine mackrony fact'ry to pay dam law
yer. just want you know bout it that
you nabor schwind.e me. You my fren'
COON and tax drink"
Three weeks later Mazza again came
rushing into the office in great state of
mental agitation, and throwing a sum
Judge johnson, fairly shouted in his ear:
Il ben sude for eightee doll, judge, by
Eat dam Shamberlini Now you take re
case and beat Eat dam Shamberlin and I
pay you well, If it TAX my whole mack
rOny factory
But" interposed Johnson, ''you told
me you were the one who was swindled
How does it come that he is suing your
well, 1 tell you. We had mother trade
since that time"
The trial of the case came on in due
course and Mazza, being put on the stand
told his story something after this fash
ion:
Vel, I go down to NIeester Shamber-
Inns corel and sell me a horse for three
doll. He was string-leg and he had a
big hole in his side you could stick two
feests in it. / talk him home and feed

PLANTATION, had no difficulty in finding a
verdict for the Dago.

Gladstone ON Eggs.

There is one great Englishman alive
to-day whose errors have more truth in
them than the accuracies of most men,
says the New York Commercial Advertis-
err When he speaks on the Greek war
he may recommend an unwise course, but
there is in his arguments enough to make
two continents vibrate; and when Lord
Salisbury is wise and just and steers his
little island through her perils, who cares?
Mr.. Gladstone has been talking about
eggs, and the fash of genius is in his
words.
Mr.. Gladstone" says the London
Spectator, commenting on this speech on
eggs, never fails to find a broad general
principle to support the cause he advo-
cates.' That is true, although solemnity
propounded. Mr. Gladstone's opinion on
eggs is horse sense, but it has the brill
fancy of great Imagination to illuminate
it;
when I find that 1,2O0000000 eggs are
laid all over Europe, to be imported into
England, 1 cannot help thinking that it
would be very good thing if five or six
hundred million of those eggs were laid at
home because you may depend on this,
that the nearer the egg is laid to the place
where it is consumed the better it will
be"
Free-traders and protectionists alike
must admit, not only that the Grand Old
man spoke the truth on a vital issue, but
that the last clause in the sentence we
have quoted is worthy to enter into lit
erature

To Examine the Drainage.

The Morning News has invited several
wel-known citizens to act as an indie
pendent committee and make a tour Of
inspection of the country surrounding the
city and report what in their judgment
is its sanitary condition, and what would
conduce to its improvement. and to re-
move the dangers which may exist, or
arise from imperfect drainage or lack Of
drainage should such conditions exist.
The inspection, though made upon the
invitation of the Morning News, and at
It's expense. win be in no way influenced
or controlled by it OF its representatives.
The committeeman are free to go where
they choose when they choose, and report
whatever in their judgment may be right
and proper to present to the public. 1t
is not admitted that the drainage of the
Buclhalter section Of the county is in
any manner connected with the drainage
Of the city; still the committeeman, being
absolutely unrestricted, will visit Buck
halter If they so please and examine into
that PARKWAY section.
The committee began its inspection yes
terday afternoon. and viii continue it I'M
til the entire area Immediately adjacent
TO the city has been thoroughly examn-
ed. The purpose of the tour is to ascer-
tain whether the public health is being
conserved in the best possible manner,
and what may be necessary to the proper
performance of that high public duty.

scOtt's DisreputabIe Clients.

Sir Walter Scott had his share of curl
Gus experiences shortly after being called
to the bar, says an exchange. His first
appearance as counsel in a criminal court
was at Jedburg assizes in 1893, when he
successfully defended a veteran poacher.
You're a lucky scoundrel," Scott whis-
pered to his client when the verdict was
given.
I'm just of your mind" returned the
latter "and I'll send you a maukin"-
namely, a hare-''the morn man." Lock-
hart, who narrates the incident, omits
to add whether the "maukin'' duly
reached Scott, but no doubt it did.
on another occasion Scott was less sue
cessful in his defense of a house breaker,
but the culprit, grateful for his counsePs
exertions, gave him, in lieu of the ortho-
doX fee which he was unable to pay this
piece of advice. 10 the value of which he
(he housebreaker) could professionally
attest: First, never have a large watch
dog out of doors, but keep a little yelp-
ing terrier within, and, secondly, put no
trust in nice, clever glmcrack locks, but
pin his faith to a huge old heavy one with
"A rusty KEY.

The Captain Raiscd the Wind.

The ship had lain becalmed in a trop-
ical sea for three days, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch. Not a breath OF air stirred the
mirror-like surface Of the tsea or the limp
sails that hung from the yards like drap-
cry carved IN stone.
The captain resolved TO wait no longer.
He piped up all hands on deck and re-
quested the passengers to also come for
ward.
81 must ask all Of you" he said, ito
give me every match yout have"
Wonderingly the passengers and crew
oheyed.
The captain carefully arranged the
matches in his hands as each man hand
ed him his store until all had been coll
lected. Then he threw them all over
board but one. drew cigar from his
pocket, and, striking the solitary match
on the mainmast, endeavored TO light H.
In an instant a furious gale swept over
flled the sails, and che good ship Mary
Ann sped through the waves on her
course.

Drawing Comparisons.

The historian or spokesman of the coun-
ty commissioners is always finding a
mares nest. The latest incubation has
Matched out a statement showing that I'M
der the present board of commissioners
the tax levy is a fraction of a cent less
than 1t was under previous boards. Pos
sbly this is so, but the incubator fails
TO tell the public that the former valuation
of properly for taxation was much less,
and therefore the assessments were nee
essarily higher.
In the same connection, the party who
gets up all of this valuable 60 data points
out that the old board Of commissioners
spent large sums of money, but gave the
county no good roads. Now the real facts
are that the only new roads which have
ever been opened in the county were the
work of the old board of county commits
sioners, namely the Waters, the Bay
street, the intermediate, the Stevenson,
and other roads. Besides these improve
ments they built the county jail, the new
court house, purchased and paid for the
county poor farm, and built or partly built
all the drainage canals in the county.
1t would make very interesting read
ing to show the actual sums of money,
not those which were appropriated in the
several budgets, which have been spent
in the last four years, and then give a
detailed account of the work that has
been accomplished through their expendi-
ture. Outside of hardening the roads in a
daeuItorxr or tarouorarv xvav thara Is al =
most nothing to show.

A Reading. Pa. man with a little more
money. perhaps, than he knew what 60
do with, attended an evangelical camp
meeting the other day near his home, and
while the missionary collection was being
taken up he offered to give 800 to the
cause for every minister who would shave
of his moustache. lie was very promptly
taken up by one OF them. and the 500 was
put in the ull. There Is a good suggestion
here for ministers who are long on nous
taches and short ON collections. They
might telegraph for the generous contri-
butor.

As might have been expected, there is
trouble in the camps of the Greater Re
public of Central America" growing out
of Jealousy on the part of Costa Rlca,
and, to some extent, Guatemala also.
which promises to prevent the agreement
being carried into effect. Should Costa
Rica and Guatemala refuse TO enter the
union, as is expected they will, It is not
believed the Others OF the Central Ameri-
can states can maintain the agreement
among themselves, and the result would
be, It is predicted, a state OF war which
would extend to all the countries OF Cen
trail America. How those countries have
managed to get along even for SO long
time without one or two revolutions is a
mystery, and they are no doubt now all
laying for this chance to fight. which will
be an excellent one.

Speaker Reed made the statement in
Boston the other day that he knew moth
ing about Section % of the new tariff BILL
which levies 10 per cent. discriminating du-
ty on goods from European and other for
ing countries imported via Canada. There
fore it may be argued that the House knew
nothing about IL, and as Dingley, the orig
inator of the measure, is a member of the
House, he also knew nothing about it. But
since it is probable that the discriminating
duty viii hit Maine harder than any other
state it may be asked what was the mat
ter with Frye and Hale on the other side
of the great American congress? 1t would
appear that nobody knew anything about
il, at least the responsible party has not
yet been located. 1t has been charged that
it was a trick on the part Of some agent
of c. p. Huntington, designed as a blow
at the Canadian Pacific railroad At all
events it shows the dangers surrounding
careless legislation, since it would appear
that Messrs. Dingley and Aldrich had left
the bill around loose in their committee
rooms, to be doctored by the agent of any
special interest who might come along. 1t
might be well TO make a minute examina-
ton of the bill for other atrocities Of the
same kind.

Honor to Whom Honor 1sDue.

Hon. Patrick Walsh is prominently men
toned as a candidate for mayor OF Au-
gusta. lie has not, however, so far given
any intimation that he will enter into the
contest, and If there should be scram-
Bile for the office 1t is doubtful If he would
permis his name TO be used. MIR. Walsh
is more than a prominent citizen of Au-
gus; he is one of the best known and
best thought OF men in the state. This
being the case. outsiders may be permit
ted the liberty of urging that the people
Of his city would honor themselves as well
as Mr. Walsh in making him their chief
executive.
no other citizen Of Augusta has done
more than Mr.. Walsh, Il as much, TO adj
vance the citys interests. His purse and
pen and personal efforts are always at
Augustas command. lie has risen from
the ranks and won his spurs by hard
work. and his sympathies and expert
ences cover a broad space among his fell
low men. Like all men who have risen
10y their own efforts. especially newspa-
per men, he has his foes; but the people
OF Augusta should '1ove him for the en-
emies ne has made" because that mis-
fortune Is doubtless mainly thie 60 the
fact that he has outstripped others in adj
vancing the interests Of the town.
To sum up In brief II Pat Walsh will
accept the office OF mayor. the people OF
Augusta should see TO it that he is elect
