Perhaps very few people know that
Dan Emmett, who wrote "Dixie," is
still living.
His home is in Mount Vernon, Ohio,
where he was born and where he
hopes to end his days. The old man
is picturesque figure on the streets
of the town. In his prime he was one
of the mid-century handles of New
York City, but now, with calm indif-
ference to the conventional, he usu-
ally carries long staff and wears his
coat fastened in at the waist by bit
of rope.
His home is little cottage on the
edge Of the town, where he lives en-
tirely alone. On almost any warm af-
ternoon he can be found seated before
his door reading, but he is ready
enough to talk with the chance visit
or, whose curiosity to meet the COM
poser Of one of the national songs of
America has brought him out from
town.
It was this curiosity that took me
to the cottage. The old composer was
seated in the shade by his house with

There never had been any trouble
from the pra stice of this country
in having commitals by district
magistrates instead of indictments
by a grand jury. The verdict Of
nine out of twelve jurors, also,
had worked admirably in this
country. OF course in Federal
cases a unanimous verdict would
be necessary, but in some States
grand juries were not required.
Michigan was one. 1t seemed
anomalous 20 them in this country
to require unanin Gus verdict
One ignorant or corrupt man
could defeat justice.
Mr.. Neumann observed that
grand jury in this country was
unnecessary. The only thing in
which it was useful was the TAX
ing cognizance of offenses by
public officers, but as there was
never anything wrong with pub
lie officers here grand jury was
entirely unnecessary.

ID uring bis recent speech at the

Cherry read what purported to be
the deposition of a witness proving
hat Treasurer Phillips received
interest on deposits of state money.
1t low transpires that the document
was neither signed nor sworn to, but
was drawn up by Cherry himself and
was so false in every particular the
witness refused to sign it. 1t is
by such dastardly trickst the populisss
hope to win. Cherry also told his
h andful of hearers, in trying to make
a point against the Milwaukee road,
that this company claimed their rails
cost s42 per ton when in fact they
cost but $11.00 per ton. This was
the cost of the original rails, which
were iron and second hand, but
what he did not state was that these
rails had been replaced by new steel
rails over the entire system. The
cause is surely a poor one that needs
propping up by downright false
mood and half-truths and some of

get through the campaign without
