The Chautsuqua type of Christianity
is neigh borly, good natur ed, unselfish,
disposed to be friendly. Perhaps it
should not seem strange, in commu-
nifty m sde up largely, almost entirely,
of protesting Christians, to find these
qualities accepted as matter OF course.
Nevertheless, there are gatherings of
Christians, there are religious conven-
tiOns even, where some OF
the Christian virtues do not seem
to be plentiful enough to go round.
But here,--though in entire confid-
ence, Chautauquai is no Paradise, and an
gels are scarce-there is high aver
age OF brotherliness and courtesy that
speaks well for its influence. After
even brief visit, one is glad to re-
member that similar influence is at
work at dozens of similar assemblies
all over the country, and that most
attractive phase of what an English
man might call "American middle class
life' bids fair to go on spreading year
by year.

Nor few of the men who complain
of i'll treatment in camps and on trans
ports are admitting that much OF the
abuse was due to the incompetency of
their own regimental officers. No
doubt delinquents will be found all
through the line and staff of the army
from the privates up, but as we said
the other day, that does not excuse the
superior officers from blame. 1t is q
principle of law that the principal is
responsible for the acts of his agent.
or course the case is far different in
the army, for the subordinates are rot
agents" But by the rules OF the SER
vice the superior officer, who has the
authority TO enforce his orders to the
letter, is responsible IL the
short comings OF his suoordinates are
not reported to the proper officers.
Secretary Alger said in recently
published interview that camp COM
manders had reported that everything
was in good condition, the men being
we'll cared for, and every body as we'll

was not until the newspapers told the
truth about things that he knew the
real state OF affairs. II he has been
correctly reported, it is indeed a
serious matter. Where were the
inspectors, whose duty it was TO af-
ford q check on the work of the
line?

Tho House and Senate unani,

ing tho State board to revoke all
hotel privileges and to say that it
was contrary to the spirit Of tho dis
pcnsary law
After tho House had acted on Al
third reading bills, the Childs prohi-
bition bill was taken up and argued
all morning, adjournment being
reached with tho bill exactly where
it was when the fight was started.
Livingstone opposed IN absolute
prohibition law. The House is apt
to have passed the bill, but Childs
appealed to his friends not to vote
for il, but for it after it had been
amended, on tho ground that the
courts had decided that State could
not prevent the sale Of liquor for
medicinal purposes, and bis bill with
amendments was what WIS wanted.
The House seems to favor bill to
soil for sncrumcntal, medicinal and
scientific purposes, but amendments
and lack of timc will likely choke it
to death.
One of the strongest speeches
mado for prohibition was that by
AlcCullough, Of Grccnvillc.
Garris and EGrl led the fight for
tho dispcnsnry and in tho debate
somo hard rnps were given tho dis

The State will take no further
steps in the famous agricultural hall
case. Tho last card has been played
and tho gamo won by Mr., W. IL.
Lyles, attorney for Mr.. +. b. Wrs-
10y.
Attorney General Barber made
hard fight to savo tho building for
the State, and repeatedly kept the
plaintiffs ont Of possession, when it
seemed impossible to do so, but the
fight for tmo had 10 como to an end,
and it has. Yesterday it was an
nounccd that the State authorities
would obey tho mandate of the court
as soon % 1t reached tho city aud
was served upon them. This means
that Attorney Lylcs' client will have
possession Of tho building and col
loct the amount due for rental of the
property since it has been used by
the State for the purposes Of the dia
ponsnry.
The only matter which now re.
mains to be settled between the
parties il tho agreement on Il suta
bio sum for tho rent of the building.
Both Attorney General Barber and
Mr.. Lylcs admit that suitnblo Terms
are now trying to be made. As yet, a.,
however, no definite sum has boon
agreed upon, though it is stated on
good authority that about 8 - is the
rent per month which will DO paid
by tho dispensay for the use Of the
building.

Inc next move IN the case Will
probably be to bring about proceed
ings in winch the validity Of the
Blnc Ridge script will be the direct
issue before the court, in order that II
decision as to that point may be had.
The fight in respect to this is likely
to be hard and stubborn, and will
likely be watched with kconcst in
forest by the people throughout the
State. In case decision in this
question shall go against the Stnte,
it will have to pay large sum,
while the winning Of it will mean
much to Mr. Wesley. The facts in

removal to the territory, in 1888,
Ridge and Boudinot lived about a

camo upon a small cabin whcro the
great rock suddenly terminated by q
bluff. Tho olG man Of this cabin
was far moro cheerful and cleverlv

havo led us believe had We never

poison Of tho rattle, snake and that
snakes were his only companions
save few gums OF bees we were
not inclined to tarry there, even if
we travel at night.
1t might interest some to hear Of
how this old man secures the pOsons
Of these 'rattlcrs," as it did us. In
tho first place he keeps these great
poison snakes under complete dis
ciplinc. This is done by using the
king snake. lIo keeps about his
cabin n good supply Of king snakes
