hdy-Some of our officers are like
the British. Its all right when they
can place some one else "under
fire,' but its terrible, and makes
them change their well-formed, de.
liberate intentions for the future, il
their own shortcomings place them
selves ''under fire." and they blame
the innocent as well as the critics.
They never before discovered what
n difference it makes ''whose OK
is gored," although they are fami-
liar with the fable. They seem to
forget a long line of favors accorded
them heretofore, and grow unjust
and imperious, and demand the
''humble bending of the knee that
favor may follow fawning." They
are hollow, deceitful and lying.
Thank God, and our Jeffersonian
fathers who fought the minions of
George ILL.,, every officer in this
country is but a servant of the peo-
pie, and his direlictions should al
ways be severely criticised, and
when he thinks and says he owns
any office as long as he wants it.,
the COURIER believes its time for
him to learn a lesson in patriotism,
as we'll as smiles, in honesty instead
of deceit, in true Christianity in.
stead OF hypocrisy, and with his
knowledge he should know that the
COURIER never knowingly published
an untruth editorially, for any pur
pose, and that "truth is mighty.
and will prevail" The COURIER
acknowledges that it has been some
times mislead and deceived, as all
are not infallible, but when it
states a fact Of its own knowledge,
you can bet your bottom dollar its
TRUE, though many moons may
wax and wane before it is ques-
toned.

1as- About the worst caricature
or topographic art the COURIER has
seen for years, is the program for
the s. S. Convention in Jasper to
morrow and next day. If the pro-
gram scheme must be made a fake
advertising dodge, it had better be
abandoned altogether, or enlarged
so a printer can make a decent job.
If Jasper business men, who have
As advertisements in the caricature,
can realize an average of ten cents
each for the money thrown away
in this thing, they may congratulate
themselves as doing extremely well.

But th yC,e great many variants
10 the story, AID though the fact that
the prince committed suicide is now
generally accepted. there arc different
versions ~ to the manner OF his taking
on. One story Is to the effect that a

the prince was staying In order to ask
the gamekeeper for some Instructions

the wording was 70 changed that the
exemption from this duty applied to

which laid the discriminating duty on

were capable Of a construction which
would levy the additional duty on for
